Tardy Justice Done at Last-A Fifteen
Year-Old Triple Murder Avenged.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, November l5.-Some
fifteen years ago John d. Thompson, re-
siding near Somerville, in Fayette Coun-
ty Tenn, having spite againsta neighbor
named Bailey, filed bottle with liquor,
which he poisoned with strychnine and
placed in the road so that Bailey would
find it. His scheme succeeded, and Bal
ley, together with two OF his children,
drank of the poisoned liquor and died.
Their death remained a mystery un-
til a year ago, when Joseph Thompson,
son of John ID. Thompson was taken
very i'll, and, thinking he would die, con-
fessed the crime his father had committed
fourteen years previously, and of which
he had full knowledge. Joseph Thomp-
son did not die, but recovered, and father
and son were tried at Somerville last
Monday. Both were convicted. The
father received sentence of twenty-one
years in the Penitentiary and the son a
sentence Of fourteen years.

NEW YORK, November l5.-The World
says "The Board of Aldermen yester-
day completed the canvass of fourteen
Assembly Districts of the city, without
finding any material change in the foot
ings as already announced. A few errors
were discovered and corrected, and upon
the whole tGoyernor Cleveland has net
gain of about thirty votes. Cleyeland's
plurality in the city will not vary much
from 1880 All the other counties in the
State have been officially canyassed,
and the ten remaining districts in this
city will be finished to-day, the intention
being TO canvass only the electoral ticket,
and thus put an end to the matter, as has
already been observed, The canvassing
IN this city Is purely a clerical, routine
performance. Nothing can come OF it,
except to confirm the verdict already re-
ceived. Cleveland's plurality in the State
will be $50 or thereabouts.'

Over S11, 100000 Owed by the Com
pany-CharIes Francis Adams, Jr., for
President.
w WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Secretary
of the Interior heard Charles Francis
Adams, Jr., this morning, in regard to
the conclusions of the government COM
mittee of experts who examined the
books OF the Union Pacific Railroad in
Boston. Mr.. Adams pointed out certain
statements as being incorrect, and asked
that they be modified before the Secretary
sent the report to the Judiciary Commit
tee OF the Senate. The Secretary agreed
to make some of the amendments desired
by Mr. Adams. He will send the report to
the Judiciary Committee tomorrow. The
Judiciary Committee has been awaiting
this report before reporting the Edmunds
bill amending the Thurman act to the
Senate. The report as amended shows
that the floating debt of the Union
Pacific Company is above $11,000, 600. and
that two dividends should be passed. It
is surmised that the Judiciary Committee
may give the report out for publication,
but this is problematical.
1t is expected here that Charles
Francis Adams, Jr., will be sub
stituted for Sidney Dillon as Presi-
dent of the Union Pacific at the
meeting of the directors tomorrow in
New York. Late this afternoon. Phil.
Thompson succeeded in getting up in the
House his bill amending the Thurman
act. 1t will be considered tomorrow.
he says that it will pass both Houses.

Representatives Decide to Rush the
Appropriation Bills Through.
WASHINGTON, June 17.-At a largely
attended caucus of the Democratic mem
bers of the House of Representatives to-
night, the following resolution was
adopted:
ResOlced, That we urge upon the House to
press as Iast as possible TO conclusion the ap-
preparation bills, and that we will take them
up In preference to all other measures.
A motion to urge the passage in the
House of the bill to repeal the tax on to-
bacco was lost, as was also a motion to
make the order of business after the pass
age OF the appropriation bills the bills
from committees on Public Lands and In
valid Pensions. Two appropriation bills
the sundry civil and fortifications-now
in the Committee on Appropriations. will
probably be reported to the House this
week.
All the Representatives expressed a de-
sire to go home on the Sd of July. and
agreed that they would disagree as to
what should be done with the tariff and
internal revenue taxes, and therefore that
1t was wise to say nothing and do nothing
more about revenue reduction. 1t is bV
no means certain that the appropriation
bills can all be passed by July 2. Mr..
Randall thinks that they can be. but docs
not feel certain of it. If the Senate Joins
the House in an effort to adjourn it can be
accomplished. The action to be taken by
the Senate is yet prohlematicai, but as the
weather grows warmer the Senators grow
more restiVe.
