Death Rather than Beggary.

ELKToN, Md, Jan. 26.-On two straw pallets
an old frame rookery on Collinss lane, Mrs
| William Hall, a middle-aged woman, and her six
hildren are now lying in an almost dying condi-
ion from the effects of poison. Too proud to
beg she preferred death to poverty She had
been in bad health for some time, and unable to
earn living for her little ones. She would not
make her wants known. They had been without
food nearly two days. when the mother becom
ing desperate, took arsenic herself and gave it to
the children. When the neighbors who. alarmed
by the absence of all signs of life about the
house, entered, distressing spectacle met their
eyes The mother was insensible, and the chill
dren were all helpless from the effects of the
drug. Physicians were summoned, and soon
had the sufferers somewhat revived, though it is
likely the mother and two of the children will
die

THE SHERMAN RESOLUTIONS.

The Discussion to Begin To-Day-The Tall
Of the Democrats.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan PA good deal of feeling
is expected to follow Mahones speech in the
Senate tomorrow on the Virginia election out
RACES Comments made by Democratic senators
to-day upon what Malone is expected to say
show that they mean to precipitate row, if
possible, and throw the responsibility upon the
Republican party. Said prominent Democrat
tonight ''The Sherman Malone bloody-shirt
preamble and resolutions will come up for debate
in the Senate tomorrow, and may occupy several
days, as the Republicans will take advantage Of
every opportunity to encourage the relics of
by-gone age, to revivify the brutal sectional
issue. Malone is the acknowledged leader Of
this movement, and will open the ball in a
carefully prepared speech, which has been in
type several days, and to have been
delivered on Friday, but missed fire.
The preparation of the speech has been attrib-
uted t. George G. Gorham, but that gentleman
assured me tonight that not only did he not
prepare it, but that Malone did not even use aH
amanuesis, every word and line of the manu-
script being in Mahones handwriting. Mr..
Gorham also said that Malone is one of the
really able men in the Senate. l asked him If
he thought any Republican senator would vote
against the resolutions He replied / do not
think one of them dare do it Mr.. Gorham IS
probably right" continued this Democratic
statesman. "The Republican press all over the
country are clamoring for a renewal of the
bloody-shirt ISSUE and even Hoar and Hawley
will have to fake step behind Malone. Thus
has the rejected Readjuster become the leader
of the Republican party. 1t beats all how
confederate brigadier has captured both par
ties"
This is but one of many expressions of Demo-
Gratis to-day, The Democrats will probably
move to strike out the preamble and will un-
doubtedly vote for the resolutions if they succeed

Laying Pipes to Nominate Him for Governor
and Vice-President.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81 = Notwithstanding
Senator Voorhees, card announcing that he will
not consentto become candidate for Governor
of indiana, and would not consent to the use of
his name, believe he will yet be the standard
bearer for the Democracy of the State, and will
head the ticket" said Western member of Con
gress tonight
what reason have you to believe sol' inquired
the Journal correspondent
This is my reason: l overheard a conversa-
ton, last night between a quartet of prominent
Indiana Democrats, in which scheme was dis
closed by which Voorhees, is to be forced to take
the nomination. 1t is proposed to make still
hurt in the interest of Voorhees,, without his
cc'aAsr.t, A-al,slae-A- the convention 1neess To
bring his name up and nominate him with a
whoop. This, they think, can be done by ac-
clamation Manson is to be nominated for
Lieutenant-governor,w which will harmonic that
faction of the party. In the talk overheard it
was stated by of the party Ia member from
Indiana), that Gray has friends who would
not consent to such an arrangement;
that it was agreed that Voorhees, name
would be such boom that it would take the
convention off its feet and it was proposed by
quick work and good calculation, to whirl Man
son through before Gray's forces could rally.
If it is found that Gray is too quick for the
Manson men, why they will substitute him for
Manson. This is to be a part of the programme
of which Manson is not to be aware Of From
what could gather of the conversation, Holman's
friends will consent to this. l understand John
R. Mclean is one of these slate-makers, and
that he thinks it will result in the defeat of
Mcdonald for the presidential nomination, and
lead to the nomination of Payne, Randall, or
some other protectionist for the head of the
ticket and Worries for Vice-president It is
DOUBTED whether or not Voorhees, would suffer
such an arrangement, if he knew of it."

Probable Effect of the Failure To BE Repre-
sented on the River Committee.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Indiana may have
been unfortunate in the organization Of the
House committees in not securing position on
either of the committees relating to improve
ments of rivers and harbors This is the more
discouraging because no member on either of the
river committees is especially interested in see
ing Indianas navigable streams improved ex-
cept, possibly, Thomas, of Illinois, but there is
still good ground upon which to pin hope. Rep
resentatives Ward, Calllans, Wood Lamb, Cobb
Stockslager and Kleiner have taken it in hand
to see that as much money is appropriated as is
required to continue actually needed improve
ments. Especially are Messrs Ward and Lamb
energetic in this work. Mr.. Ward says there is
little doubt that the navigation of the Wabash
river will be given special attention The lower
Wabash is to be cleaned out and the embank-
ment repaired, and improvements otherwise
made which will not only improve the navigation,
but be aprotection to adjacent property. In this
connection it is to be recalled that Mr.. DeMotte,
of the Logansport district, is said to have
wrought his defeat, two years ago, by voting so
many millions to improve rivers but the mem
bers here named believe there is no political
peculation in the work they propose to do In
deed, Mr.. Ward is enthusiastic in his support of
measures which will bring about continuation of
work on the Wabash

him that while he was in the gubernatorial chair

The New York "WOrld" Tries to Head Off Mr,
Morrison.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27-Mr. Morrison's theory
of horizontal reduction in the tariff which he is
reported to be working upon with the aid of ex
perts in figures is not likely to satisfy any con
siderable number of his Democratic associates
No man who ever gave serious thought to tariff
questions would think of proceeding in SO bung-
ling manner to deal with the great industries
of the country. The New York World has come
to realize the dangerous folly of Mr. Morrison's
horizontal notions, and thus raises its voice in
warning:
ut will not do to cut down taxation by a yard
measure or by chopping off chunks blindly or
helter-skelter We must not use a butchers
cleaver to do the work of the surgeons scalpel,
The horizontal nonsense means giving the
wealthy consumer of foreign uxuries the same
benefit from reduction that is enjoyed by the
poor man who buys the commonest necessaries
of life for his family. 1t tramples down the
tariff with cowhide and hobnaed boots 1t is
an easy mode of procedure, it is true, but it is
like the work of quack dentist who not know
ing how to discover aching TOOTH extracted
all the teeth on one side of his patients jaw"

Gaines, nephew of the exSpeaker, was filing a

pointed Tyson he did it with the understanding
on his part that at some future time the position
would be vacated and Gaines appointed The
