A Warming To Lovers.

htokuk Ia. sptCldi W tultdEo lunts
About nine o'clock last night the family of
John J. Rail, living two miles east of this
city, was thrown into intense excitement and
despair BY the sudden death of an only
daughter. Miss Minnie Rail. sixteen years of
age. The young lady in the parlor at
the time in company with Charles Gray, her
afianccd 1t seems from the statement of
Mr.. Gray, which was given with broken sobs
and tears, that the two were seated on a
lounge. and he was urging her to name an
early day for their wedding. The girl was
coy and bashful and hesitated about it. But
the lover was importunate and sought in
every way to induce compliance with his
wishes. At last she consented saying: 81
will marry you in April"
In the excitement and JOY of the moment
Mr. GRAY threw his arms around her waist
and drew her to HIM with a quick. passion
ate embrace. He was not conscious of ex-
ertng unusual strength, and does not be-
lieve that he did But the girl gave short,
sharp scream. and exclaiming, "Oh, Charley,
I'm gone, - fell dead in his arms. her head
resting on his shoulder. His frantic cries
alarmed the family, who came rushing into
the room to find the pitiful sight of the dead
girl lying pale and inanimate in her lovers
arms. a messenger was dispatched post
haste for DIR. Hale. who arrived within an
hour. But nothing could be done. The
young lady was beyond all human aid.
It is the opinion of the physician that
heart disease was the immediate cause of the
girls death. She was frail and delicate. and
had long complained Of trouble with her
heart. The excitement incident to her con-
versation with her lover had probably super
induced the attack which led to her premature
death. Naturally the family are overwhelmed
with grief and young Gray is almost beside
himst II with horror and despair. Miss Minnie
was a very handsome young lady. and was
well known in society circles in this city.
She was extremely delicate and possessed a
slender frame which succumbed to the slight
est attacks Of ill-health.

The Tribune says: ''Senator George
has never heard Of any political outrages
in the South. This innocent gentleman
was chairman of the Democratic State
Committee in Mississippi during the
bloody campaign Of 1873, when the so
called Mississippi plan was first put into
systematic operation. That plan combined
ballot-box frauds with the breaking up of
Republican meetings by red-shirted rifle
clubs, the picketing of polling places and
the murder of Republican leaders, black
and white. 1t WAS most eminently success
full, and Senator George is one of its results.
He helped assassinate the Republican par
ty in Mississippi. and he has his reward.
After he has got the bearings of his Sena-
torial chair we hope he will cease attempt
ing to deny events which have become a
part of history. He can wisely allow Ben
Hill monopoly of that sort of business "

THE MORMONS.
Decision Rendered by the Supreme
Court of the United States.

WASHINGTON, April 4.
The decision was rendered by the Supreme
Court of the United States, to-day, on the
Norman case Of John Miles against the
United States, brought here by appeal from
the Supreme Court of Utah. Miles was in
dicted for bigamy in the Third District Court
of Utah, at Salt Lake City, and adjudged
guilty. Miles thereupon applied to the Su-
preme Court of the Territory, when judg.
ment of the District Court was affirmed. lie
now appeals to this court upon the following
assignments of error:
LIST. That the adherents of the Norman
faith were unlawfully excluded from the
jury.
I'd. That the declarations of Miles are adj
mtted as proof of his first marriage. :.
3D. That the testimony of the alleged
second wife is admitted to prove the marriage
of Miles to wife No. l. The conclusions Of
this Court are, LIST, That it is evident from
the examination of the jurors that thew
believed polygamy was ordained of God, and
the practice of polygamy was obedience to
the will Of God. At common Law this vould
have been ground for the principal challenge
Of the jurors of the same faith. 1t needs no
argument to show that jury composed of
men who entertain such a belief could not
have been free from bias or prejudice on the
trial for bigamy Of person who entertained
the same belief and whose offense consisted
of the act of living in polygamy, but whether
the evidence of bias is sufficient or not vas
so found by triers, and that was conclusive.
I'd. That the District Court committed no
error in admitting the declarations of Miles
to prove the first marriage. Sd. That the
Court below did an error in allowing the
second wife to give evidence against Miles
touching the marriage with his first wife.
The Law of Utah declares that the husband
can not be aswitness for or against his wife
or the wife for or against her husband. The
marriage Of Miles with his secold vife.

WASHINGTON.
Republican Caucus.

WASHINGTON, April I. Republican sena-
tors i'll caucus this morning, decided to con-
tnue efforts to procure the passage of the
pending resolution, for immediate election Of
Senatcl officers, by adhering persistently to
the policy and programme heretofore pur-
sued. This determination was reached after
an exhaustive exchange of views, and by a
vote which is said to have been substantially
unanimous. The caucus discussed the sug-
gested expediency of allowing the dead lock
to be broken from time to time by executive
sessions for confirmation of uninterested
nominations, but it was decided that at least
for the present, this course would be unad-
visable. The only other matter touched up
on was the long continued delay in transport
ing the remains of the late Senator Matt Car
penter to Wisconsin,, and it was agreed on
all hands that members on the Senate COM
mittee appointed for this purpose, should
make immediate arrangements for pairing
and proceed to perform their mission.
The arguments set forth in republican eau
Gus, to-day, as reasons for the indefinite main
tenance by republicans of their present posi-
ton, were in substance as follows:
LIST. That the question involved in the dem
ocratic opposition to the pending resolution
is whether the majority or the minority OF
the Senate shall control its action. That for
the majority to succumb to the minority now
in the matter of the choice of officers would
simply pave the way for submission to the
minority in matters of greater Importance
hereafter, and that there is no legislative
business to be transacted at this session. and
no injury likely to result to public interests
from delay in confirming nominations to
offices already filed. The present is the
best time to meet the issue above indicated
and to maintain the principle that the will of
the majority must prevail.
I'd. That the election of the candidates
placed in nomination by the majority, in
Guiding Riddleberger of Virginia, must be
insisted upon as a means of sustaining and
promoting an alliance of republicans and in
dependent democrats in Virginia and other
Southern States.
1t was agreed in caucus that the issue
whether or not the republicans of the Senate
will support the alleged movement in Vir-
gina. for ''free ballot and fair count, -"
has been joined by the nomination of Riddle
berger, and that to abandon his proposed
election would be prejudicial to the success
of the movement in the fall campaign and
spread through other sections of the ''Solid
South
The New York nominations were not re-
ferred to at the meeting to-day. and it was
noticeable that the policy delaying the tran
saction of executive business until after the
election of Senate officers shall have been
accomplished. was advocated by various SEN
ators who hold Numerically opposite views
in regard to the propriety of confirming these
and other contested cases.
