Mysterious Sensation.

ALBANY, N. Y January 29.-What
appeared to be a sensational paragraph
was printed in the Journal this evening.
1t was to the effect that President-elect
Cleveland was visited late last night by
ex-Speaker Randall, in response to a
letter of invitation sent him to
Washington. Immediately after his
arrival here, Randall was driven
to Cleveland's temporary abode,
where the two men held conference
lasting several hours. This morning the
talk was resumed, and at its conclusion
Randall returned to New York. Speaker
Carlisle is also mentioned as having
been invited by Cleveland, and is
expected to arrive on Saturday
morning. Colonel D. S. Lamont, private
secretary of the President-elect, cor
roborates the statement thatRandall was
here and in consultation with the
President-elect,. and that Carlisle is ex-
pected, but beyond that was extremely
rehcent. Rumor has it that the Presi-
dent-elect is not satisfied with the way
things are going on in Congress, and
wants Randall and Carlisle to adopt
some fresh and vigorous policy. Of
course, nobody has the smallest particle
of information as to what took place
between Cleveland and Randall, but it
is the general belief that nothing IN the
line OF Cabinet appointments was men
toned,

Horrible Murder.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, January, Ca
special to the. Age, from Jonesboro
Ala, says; A most horrible murder
was the killing, last night, near hear, of
Bennett Parsons, respectable farmer,
u years of age. Between and 10 p. M,
according to their story, Mrs. Parsons
and her two daughters. went to the
stable for something, and during their
absence from the house they heard the
report of a gun. They paid little atten-
ton to it, as it is not an exceptional oc-
currence, and returning to the house
they retired. They declare they did
not find out that Parsons
was shot until morning, when
they found his body, badly
burned, lying on the hearth in his
room. A coroner's jury to-day rendered
the following verdict: THAT Bennett
Parsons came to his death by being shot
with gun, we believe, in the hands of
his wife; we also believe that his two
daughters were accessory to the crime"

THE SILVER CONVENTION.
A Stormy Session Followed by a
Calm.

DENVER, January 29.-On reassem-
bling, the afternoon session of the con-
Vention again took up the question of
representation. The committee on Gre
dentials in its report had announced
1,O41 delegates present with proper Gre
dentials, but in view of the fact that
some of the counties of Colorado were
represented by hundred or more dele
gates, while others were represented by
muck smaller number, the committee
recommended, as a matter of Justice to
all parts of the State, that each county
represented be allowed double the num-
Der of votes accredited to it at the late
Republican and Democratic State con-
ventions.
A delegate moved, as an amendment,
that each delegate present be allowed
one vote.
An angry discussion followed, ending
IN the adoption of the report.
The committee on permanent organi-
cation reported the name of ex-Gover-
nor James B. Grant as permanent chair
man. a minority report from the same
committee was also presented, recon-
mending that ex-senator Tabor be per
manent chairman. Then ensued
scene almOSC understandable, and GER
tainly disgraceful. There were yells,
Kisses. laughter, shoutings and motions
to adjourn sine die. A perfect mob of
crazy men, which the, chairman was
wholly unable to control
A delegate finally obtained recog-
milton from the chair, and in powerful
speech, in the interest of harmony sue
ceeded in bringing order out of chaos.
I'm the interest of silver, for the sake
of Colorado" he moved as substitu tie
for both reports, that Governor B. H.
Eaton be permanent chairman. The
motion was unanimously adopted, and
the balance of the majority report was
subsequently adopted.
The committee on resolutions and
memorials was appointed, consisting of
one from each county of Colorado and
one from each of the other States and
Territories represented in the conven-
ton.
On motion, committee of twelve was
appointed to consider and report upon
the question of the formation OF
National Silver association. The COM
mittee consists of delegates from each of
the States represented in this conven-
ton. Adjourned until tomorrow.

A dispatch from Gubat says: The
four steamers sent down the river by
General Gordon, had not been
to Khartoum for a month. Phey
had been awaiting the British
at the island above Metemneh. The
vessels are covered With heavy boards
OF hard wood outside and then iron
plates inside. They present battered
appearance, being pitted with bullet
marks; the tunnels we're thickly in
dented with bullet marks. The vessels
resemble floating houses, rather
than war ships. The British are i'm
proving their defences, having learned
that force of Arabs was coming from
Berber to attack them. The troops
have been put on half rations.

Who Cunningham Is.

ST. LOUIS, January 29.-The Post Dil-
patch prints an article this morning,
based on statement bya person whom
it calls a weIl-known local dynamiter,
to the effect that Cunningham, now
under arrest in London in connection
with the recent explosion in the Tower,
is the same young fellow who, two
years ago, lived here, and was writ
ten up at the time as an explosive and
internal machine maker, and full of
scheme to blow up all the public build
ings in London. He was known there as
Michael J. Byrne. He was hal-
ness-maker by trade, and de-
voted his spare time and money
to experimenting in explosives and
making Internal machines. He also
lived in Chicago where he was known as
James Gilbert, and in Philadelphia,
where he went by the name of James
Cunningham. He claimed to have been
obliged to leave Ireland, because he was
in the murder of a land
lord, but his story was not much relied
upon by his friends. He was in Denver
last August, but since then he has not
been heard from.
