Killed by the Youngest Mavor.

Aaron was shot and killed on the streets>of Van
Buren at 8 o'clock last night by Charles Taylor,
mayor of that town. They had difficulty
about prostitute, and had threatened to kill
each other. Aaron followed Taylor and attacked
him with razor when the latter drew his pistol
and fired four shots, two of which took effect in
Aaron's body. Aaron died almost instantly, and
Taylor gave bond. The case seems to be one OF
lf-defense. Taylor is we'll connected but dis
sipated. He was elected mayor of Van Buren,.
last April, when he just twenty one years old,
and is said to be the youngest mayor in the
United States. Aaron belonged to a lower class.
and was regular ruffian. Van Buren, is con-
siderably excited and chagriued over this killing
and the disgrace of her mayor.

Grant In its issue of Monday it pursues the
question of "Who Is Creelman," so generally
propounded by indianapolis Democrats, and says:
1T is safe to conclude that Congressman By
mum knows who Mr.. Creelman is; in fact, he is
as well if not better acquainted with him than
he is with the half dozen statesmen who are want
ing the Indianapolis postoffce. Mr.. Bynum knows
him. and we presume that Is sufficient. Mr..
Creelman IL he wants an Office, is not driven to
the necessity of getting up petition and run
ming his legs off to get men of '6uence to sign it.
Mr.. Creelman doesn't have to get down on his
all-fours and crawl in order to get nice
fat Office. All Of these humiliating
gresham Bynum knows who Mr. Frank Creel-
man is. While the boys on the outside, between
drinks. may be swearing and trying to trace the
identity of the gentleman, Mr. Bynum reposeS
in happy state of mind, because he knows that
Creelman was his trusted and valuable friend at
a time he needed just such q person. Mr.
Bynum knows that Creelman is sound Demo
crat perfect gentleman, splendid politician and
would make first class postmaster. The Dem
ocrats about Indianapolis will like Mr. Creelman
more as they become better acquainted with
him. He is all business, and believes in stand
ing by the boys who do the hard work in poll
tics. When he gets to be postmaster you can
bet your hat that not single Republican will
remain in Office under him, and that it will fur
nish him great delight to invite them all to step
down and out Be patient, gentlemen, and take
the advice of an outsider, and keep cool 1t
may not be any of cur business because we
don't live at Indianapolis, but the eternal fitness
of things demands the promotion of Mr.. Creel-
man. lie was the first and best friend or Dit.
Bynum. He did more for him than any dozen

his party strong, and will prove power and
will become one of the best and most popular

THE HOUSE.
Refusal TO Suspend the Rnies and Discuss
the Silver Question.


WAsHISGToN, Feb. GA concurrent reso-
luton was agreed to rendering the thanks of
Congress to Colonel Casey of the corps of engi-
neers, and his assistants and workingmen, for
the admirable manner in which he and they had
performed their respective duties in the COM
pletion of the monument to the name and fame
of Washington.
Mr. Thomas moved to reconsider the vote by
which the resolution was adopted, in order to
oppose the resolution. He called attention to
the fact that its effect would be to extend the
period during which Colonel Casey would be on
the active list ten years. He did not wish to de-
tract from the achievements of Colonel Casey,
but he did not want tho thanks of Congress to
be made too cheap. He didn't think it right
that Colonel Casey's term of service should be
increased ten years for achieving this simple
civil enterprise, while no honor was given officers
fighting on the frontier.
The motion to reconsider was agreed to, and
the resolution laid upon the table.
Mr.. Forney submitted the conference report
on the army and navy appropriation bill,
which was adopted. Agreement was reported on
all amendments except that relative to the hours
during which courts martial shall hold their
sessions, and further conference was ordered.
