DELEGATE SHAW DIES UNEXPECTEDLY

SPRINGFIELD, April ll.-Death has claim.
ed another member Of the Illinois Legisla-
,ure, this time the victim being J. Henry
Shaw, of Beardstown, Cass county. About
l2:45 o'clock the clerk OF the Hotel Palace
missing Representative Shaw At dinner aud
not having seen him during the morning.
went to his room to call him. Receiving
no answer, he looked over the tran.
some and saw him lying in bed. The
door was broken open and upon
examination DR.. Kerr, who had been called,
gave it as his opinion that the Representa-.
tive had been dead several hours The
deceased has been ailing during the whole
session, but not 50 that be could not attend
to his duties most Of the time. Mr.. Shaw
was over sixty years Of age, and served in
the Thirty.second General Assembly, this
being his second term. lie has been
an answering Democrat and thus
there occurs another break in the ranks
Of that party. This makes the third
death during the session. 1t is anticipated
that upon Senator DAVIS assuming Office
something tangible would be done in re.
lstion to the Senatorship question, but this
unexpected occurrence will again throw it
back for twenty days at least, what makes
the situation still worse il leaves the House
at tie upon any question which will be
construed into party issue and thus retard
business. Members here who wished busi.
ness to progress are very much dis
heartened. The clerk .ot Cass county
has been telegrap6ed Of the
occurrence and the Governor will be re-
auested 10 issue writ for new election to.
morrow, which will doubtless be done. but
an election cannot take place before twenty
days after the call. The appearance Of the
body when found found indicated that Mr..
Shaw died without struggle. His district
is largely Democratic. The coroner held
an inquest this afternoon and the jury re-
turned verdict that the deceased came TO
bis death from causes unknown to them.

Mr.. Davis sat in the Putnam House and
told roughly pathetic story of the boys
suferings. Besides the big chested, gener-
GUS hearted sporting man was HAPPY
Jack" Smith, the trainer, whose tears trickled
down his bronzed features.
THE poor boy was murdered, said Mr..
Davis. He wasn't allowed to take the rest

CATERPlLLARS

Threaten the Fine Southern Cotton Crop
No Danger Anticipated.
ATLANTA, GA, August 9.-During the
past ten days reports of the appearance of
csterpillars have comet from various sections
Of the South with such frequency as to justi-
fy the fear that the finest cotton crop ever
known was endangered. 1t is impossible
to ascertain the extent Of this danger. The
Constitution addressed inquiries to its CORE
spondents for information. To Summarize
it may be said that the crop as a whole is
the best that has been known for years; that
yield will largely exceed any previous
crop; that while in some localities
the caterpillar has appeared as
a general thing it is too late to do any ser
ious injury. 1t appears farther thatin those
localities where the worms have appeared
in their most malignant form and there are
very few such instances. They have, as
yet, generally confined themselves 10 the
foliage of the plant and the fruit is but
slightly injured; that they have appeared to
q greater extent in localities where the
crop is furthest advanced; that before they
can do material injury the crop will be ma.
tured and that if they had come q month
earlier they nigh have done serious injury.
