VIRGINIA POLITICS.
The Poll Tax RepeaI-Readjuster
Badly Worried.

RICHMOND, VA, February 16-The House
of Delegates to-day passed the bill fixing
the new general election day, which occurs
in November, for submitting to the people
for ratification or rejection the constitu-
tIonal amendments abolishlng the payment
of the capitation tax as a prerequisite to
voting. 1t is currently reported that as
soon as this bill can be pushed through the
Senate an effort will be made by the Re
aojusters TO adjourn the Legislature sine die.
This report has the color of truth. The
Readjusters have passed their debt bill, and
it is now a law, and they have done most Of
their principal work. The recent detection
from their ranks of several Senators
which has put deadlock on the election Of
an Auditor, and the increasing dissatisfac-
tiOn of a number Of members of the House
have caused much confusion among the
Readiusters, and it is more than probable
that they will arrive at the conclusion that
noihing more can now be done, and they
will therefore adjourn as the best means of
Quiettpp matters.

SLAYING HER FATHER.
Domestic Tragedy in IOws.

Rock RAPIDS, Iowa, February 16.-Yes-
terday before the Coroner's jury engaged in
investigating the murder of John L2nahaD,
who was killed while sitting near window
in his own house on Saturday night, Maggie,
the murdered mans oldest daughter, con-
fessed that she did the shooting, and also
implicated her mother, her sister Anna and
the latter's lover, young man named
Birch. The girl testified that it
had been agreed between them some
time ago to put the old man out of the way
at the earliest opportunity. Birch furnished
the pistol, and when her father came home
from farmers meeting Saturday, and was
about to sit down, she stepped up behind
him and fired, killing him Instantly. She
then arranged the body so as to make it
appear that some one had shot him through
the window, while her sister Anna went out
and broke the glass.
AS to the motive for the crime Maggie
says, that Birch wanted to marry Anna,
and that her father refused to sanction It,
and that he did not provide we'll for them.
The mother and Anna corroberated this
testimony. Birch at one time lived with
the family and was driven from the house
by Lanahan, who suspected him of criminal
intimacy with his wife and daughter Anna.
All parties implicated are under arrest, and
the greatest excitement prevails.
