tricts of this county, in which an unusual
large and suspicious vote was cast II was
charged that Republicans largely partici-
pated in the election and that the Demo-
cratic vote of that county was light, The
Madison county executive committee to-
day passed series OF resolutions condemn
ing the action of the Henderson county
chairman in refusing TO produce the re-
turns and declared that there was no can
vass of Hendersons vote. The following is
one OF the resolutions ave are OF the
opinion, from the facts before us, that
Stoddmt Caruthers, in the primary cleo
ton, received the highest number of
Democratic votes OF the district, and that
he should have been declared the
nominee by the canyassing committee and
that w. T. Logan is not the nominee
of the party in this district" The action
of Chairman Bullock was Endorsed, and
the Democrats Of Madison were requested
not to vote for w. 4. Logan for attorney
general, unless the returns from Hender-
son county are submitted for inspection
and time given to challenge their correct
nees. An address TO the Democracy OF
the district was ordered TO he issued, set
ting forth fully the grounds for the COM
mittees action. Mr.. Caruthers is and has
been absent for some time, and IL is not
known whether he will be candidate
or not.

over the banisters and pcercd down into
the dark waters below and saw what lac
took TO be small row.boat, in which
were seated a man and n woman. The
woman continued 10 plead for her
life and he thought he heard the indis-
tinct words, "For Gods sake don't kill
me and I'll do anything you say"
The man muttercd curse, then there
was struggle and an awful splash in the
river. Garrett saw the iluttor Of a white
dress just a. the struggle ended aud heard
the man say, "D-n you, ! guess It's end
cd" The boat headed for a clump Of
bushes on the south bank Just about the
bridge, and Garrett with the awful knowl
edge that diabolical murder had been
committed before his eyes, turned and ran
back with the intention OF interccpting and
preventing the mans escape, and Just ~
he reached the end Of the bridge lac saw q
man running in the distance, and heard
water spasl in his boots. lie immedi.
atcly informed the authorities and search
was made, but no traces Of the crime could
he found. This morning the boat was
found floating below the lower bridge, &C

water. The river was dragged late this
evening for the body, but at a late hour il
had not been found.
