the speech, however, he was much talked
Of and congratulated. Crisp, of Georgia,
one Of Carlisle's deputy speakers, will take
the Craftsmanship Of the Committee on
Pacific Railroad. He is already one of
the heavy men on the Democratic side.
Cultivate is the coming man in the Ohio
delegation. He is young handsome and
able.
The Republican leaders are all back.
Reed, Hiscock, Kelley, Mckinley, Browne,
Bsyne, Butterworth and the others will
lead the minority. A few younger men
are likely to come to the front next Con-
gress. Mr.. McComas is one of these, and
perhaps the most conspicuous. He has
been steadily gaining ground in the esti-
nation of his associates since he entered
Congress, and now steps into the first
vacant place among the leaders. Such a
vacancy is quite likely to occur soon.
Reed has prospects Of getting into the
Senate, and HiseOck may succeed Warner
Miller. In any event, McComas is sure to
be prominent figure on the Republican
side.

The Tribune Gives What Il Declares to be
the Staight of the Affair.
WASHINGTON, November 26.-The
snub Mr.. Blaine gave Senator Edmunds is
admitted by the New York Tri6HRe. 1t
says:
Erroneous reports being in circulation
in regard to a scene between Mr.. Blaine
and Senator Edmunds, it is proper that
the facts be accurately stated. On Sun
day afternoon Mr.. Blaine paid visit to
the house of fex-President Arthur, and, rs
he entered the parlOr, Senator Edmunds
came forward with great apparent cor
diality, extending his hand and saying:
"How do you do, Mr.. Blaineg Mr..
Blaine stood with hands holding his hat
in front of him, in the position familiar to
all who have met him, and made no re-
sponse, simply looking Mr.. Edmunds in
the eye. Seeing some embarrass-
ment, Clayton McMichael said:
You know the Senator,
Mr.. Blaine?" Mr.. Blaine remained per-
fectly silent, and Mr. Edmunds at length,
apparently comprehending the situation,
retreated to the sofa from which he had
risen. A few minutes later and Mr.. Blaine
expressed TO BIr. McMichael and Mr.. Miller
his sincere regret that an act imperatively
demanded from him should have occurred
in the house Of mourning. Mr.. Blaine
made no explanation of his motive, but the
presumption is, that he was not anxious to
shake hands on Sunday morning with a
man who had gratuitOusly slandered him
on Saturday. The marvel is that Mr.. Ed
munds made the approach. 1t was on
Saturday that Mr.. Edmund's letter was
published by his friends and apparently
with his approval, distinctly intimating
his belief that Dir. Blaine was dishonest
man.

the successful candidate must have q ma
jority of all votes cast. There were eight
candidates, the two leading in the first

both of Pittsburgh. Either Mr.. Church
or Mr.. Collins will undoubtedly be chosen
in the course of the second ballot.

A DEVILISH CRIME.
A Kentucky Family Butehered and Their
Bodies Burned.

WILLIAMSBURG, KY, November Co.
1t is developed that the family of eight
persons supposed to have been burned to
death in Knox county, month since,
were murdered, their throats being cut
from ear to ear. The particulars are as
follows: The family whose name was Poe,
seem to have had two neighborslwhose rep
utation was bad, they having an illegiti-
mate son aged ten years. Being refused
admittance to Poe's house, they became
enraged and planned the horrible murder.
The murder took place when Mr.. Poe was
absent. The boy suffering under a severe
chastisement from his reputed father, now
tells the whole story.
He says the mother was talking about
the matter for several days, and it culml-
mated during the night, when Mr.. Poe was
absent; that when his father and mother
left home for POe's house they forbade him
going with them, but that he slipped
along WITHOUT InelT kuONleuSc anu oa"
them enter the house. The family were
all asleep in one room, and his father with
a razor cut the throat of each fiom ear to
ear while his mother picked the bodies up,
placed them in the middle fthe floor, piled
bedding on them and then set fire to them
and the house, and that the baby screamed
until the flames smOthered it.
The boy told his story in such a
straightforward manner as to lead to an
investigation, and arrests were at once
made A sewing machine and other ar
ticles belonging to the Poes were found in
the cellar Of the accused parties They
were at once placed in Jail at BarbOurs-
vile. There is no doubt of their guilt,
and excitement has reached q point bor-
dering on frenzy. The couple will un-
doubtedly be lynched.
Poe was q lumberman, and was in Gin
cinnati when his family was burned. He
was once in good circumstances, but of
late has been comparatively poor. 1t was
feared he would become insane at first
from grie. He said, latter hearing of the
fire. that it was singular no one had ever
been able to put it out, and he seemed to
think it might be the work ofincendiaries.
