bill was resumed and developed considera-
BILE acrimony. Treachery, treason, jeal-
ousy, West Pointism and sulking in tents
were declared to have been the trouble

willing testimony of General Grant was
cited to show the unerring correctness of
the findings of the reviewing board which
declared Porter innocent. Mr.. Horr threw

of a neighbor. The woman had staggered
from her home, about 100 yards distant,
leaving bloody trail on the snow. Shes
was frightfu1ly mutilated about the neck
and shoulders. The fingers OF her lett mana
were severed and her arms badly gashed>
In one of her mutilated hands the woman
carried butcher-knife with an eight-inch,
blade and both edges sharpened. She was
exhausted and incoherent, but managed to
tell the Buzzells that her husband had as
saulted her, and when he supposed he had
succeeded in killing her had cut his own
throat. Coombs was found lying on the
floor in a chamber of his house with his,
head nearly severed from his body. The
room gave evidence of fearful struggle.
Tables and chairs were tipped over, shredsl
of cloth were strewn about the wallis tnet

William Coombs was a well-to-do farmer
forty-nine years old. He was an English
man by birth and the father of seven chill

His first wife, by whom he had four chill

proved an unhappy one and there have
been chickering's for months, although no
open quarrel occurred until now. The
neighbors say that the tantalizing perse-

and that he has been insane for two months
past. To-day while the children living at

county representation In the Next Demo
cratic State Convention.
The following is the number of dele
gates to which each county will be entitled
in the next Democratic State Con-
vention. The State Central Commit
tee bases the representation, as it did
in 1882, on the Hancock vote of 1880, and
adopts the same ratio, that is, that each
representative district be entitled to one
delegate for every $40 votes cast by it for
Hancock in 1880, and one for every frac-
tional part thereof of go votes and over:
provided, that each representative district
be entitled to at least one delegate.
1t will be seen that the only changes are
in Franklin and Lafayette Counties, which
counties have now but one representative
district each. BY the consolidation Of rep
resentative districts in those counties,
Franklin gains one delegate and Lafayette
loses one. This is caused by the fractional
ratios of $50 votes. The whole number of
delegates will be the same as at the con.
vention of 1882:
