cries committed by a couple of dashing
females of this city, who worked a mum

signed by highly respectable people of
Lafayette. The girls are Clara and Flora
Jones, sisters, and prepossessing blondes,
who have been conspicuous at all the mas
querade balls given here by Co. c, and
who have been the talk Of the town. By
order of Adit. Gen. Koontz the company
was today disbanded. The girls sue

LAFAYETTE. Ind, Dec. 1O-A cold
blooded murder was committed last night
at the residence of Isaac Metzger, near
Shepperdsville, a town about six miles
from Lebanon. About twenty couple
were engaged in a dance; whisky flowed
freely, and soon some of the men became
boisterous. About IL o'clock a shot was
heard in the back yard ,'and upon the
crowd rushing out it was discovered that
Charles Smith had been shot, the ball
striking him in the right eye and lodging
near the base Of the brain. lie was not
dead when discovered, and upon being
asked who committed the deed, answered
that George A. Scott shot him. He sur
vived about twenty minutes. At the cor
oner's inquest the facts learned from the
witnesses were materially as above stated.
James II. Perkins, who was in the yard
at the time of the affray, testified that
Smith and Others were holding a CONVEX
sa5lon when Scott approached him and
accused him of throwing slurs at HIM.
Smith denied the charge, whcreupon
Scott drew his revolver and fired. Inn
mediately after firing the shot Scott went
into the house, put on his overcoat, and
proceeding to his horse and buggy started
to flee across the country. No trace of
him can be found and in all probability
he will escape. Scott is a bad character
and has served ten Years in the pcni-
Tertiary.

The Work OF Congress.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lO.-There is Il
wide divergence of opinion among con-
gressmen as to the amount OF work likely
to be accomplished during the session
opened Monday. A great many have
declared their belief that much would
be done in the way of needed legislation
by the tariff reformers. Some of the old
heads predict there will be no legislation
to speak of this winter beyond the pas
sage of the appropriation bills. Others
equally old and wise say that as a matter
of fact three is more chance for work dur
ing a short than a long session, and they
expect it to be very active from now until
the 18th Of March. \ great part of the long
session, they say, is wasted in committee
work. Now this work is all done, and
everything is ready to 90 ahead with.
The ways and means committeeman are
bound to have Il tariff fight. The strong
position taken by the president on that
question has given them new courage.
They insist that a tariff for revenue Caly
must be the party cry. Straight issue
must be made and those who cannot stand
under that banner cannot march in their
lines. The committee on public lands ex-
pect u get some OF its measures through.
The committee. on agriculture will try to
pass the department Of agriculture and
labor bill, and expect to succeed. Mr..
Crisp expects to get the Union Pacific
railroad EXTENSION bill through the house
among the first things, and Mr.. Reagan
expects a successful issue of the confer
enc on the inter state III bill.
The committee on coinage, weights and
measures, and on banking and currency
expect legislation upon matters of finance.
