senator Hale, who voted against the Rid

New York this morning. II is expected
that the question open versus secret con.
sideration be revived tomorrow, and
Republicans think from present indications
that the doors will be thrown wide open.
To this end, however, they will require q
quorum Of the Senate which will include
all tho absentees, and they were plainly
told by Democratic senators that they
were powerless in the matter.
II is not known that the Democrats have
actually come to conclusion to refrain Ms
a body from voting in order TO ''break the
quorum" but the debate Of today proves
that such course Is under consideration,
with a possibility that II will be successful
until the Republicans shall have quorum
Of their own and shall unanimously favor
the open session.

MIR. Dink Buckalsw, OF Georgia, Fills the
Hide of His son-in-Law Elect With Shot.
ATLANTA, GA, April 23.-Sanford
Adams was in West Point to-day on q
peculiar mission. His entire body is filled
with bird shot, which he sought the skill
of West Point doctor to relieve him of.
Several months ago Adams paid court to a
pretty daughter of the notorious Dink
Buekalew, wh1 lived on the west bank OF
the Chattahooehee river, across from
Franklin. While Bnckslew was hiding
ont from officers Adams Joined in pursuit
of him, and thus it was that he became
acquainted with the daughter. Marriage
was proposed, and the Young couple
started ont on horseback for the
preachers. The girls father became
aware of what was going on and intercept
ed the couple on the road. They put their
horses Mt full speed, but before they got
out of the range of Dink he had put about
one hundred bird shot into Adams side
For three months Adams has been enjoy
ing his honeymoon with his skin full of
shot, and it WAS not until this morning
that he determined TO have them extracted
They were itchy-like," said he, ''and /
thought might ~ we'll have them picked
out. 'Tsint no use in carrying around a
ponnd of lead in your body like PVe been
doing" Now that the father-in-law is
confined in an Alabama Jail, Adams feels
safe in having his skin repaired.
