FRANCIS CALLS a SPECIAL ELECTION

FRANCIS CALLS A SPECIAL ELECTION
JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-, Jan. 3l-The gov
ernor issued the following order to the
secretary of state tonight, which Will be
handed to him tomorrow:
ExEeUTIvD DEPARTMENT STATE OF
Missouri, January 81. 1889.
To the Secretary OF State. State Of Missouri:
Whereas, A vacancy in the representa-
ton from the Fourth CONGRESSIONAL district
of Missouri exists in the Fiftieth and
Fifty-frst congress. in consequence OF the
death of Hon. James n. Burnes; and,
Whereas, The constitution OF the United
when vacancies happen In the represen-
tation from any state, the executive au-
thOrity thereof shall issue wits OF election
to fill such vacancies" and
Whereas, 1t would be ineonyenient and
expensive to the people of said district to
have two elections set fos different dates
to fill said vacancies, you viii therefore
counties in said district to call special
election for Tuesday. February 10, 1889, to
fill the vacancies caused by the death of
Hon. James n. Burnes; and you will fur
thermore issue a separate writ for each
vacancy and instruct the sherlffs to have
at least twelve days notice OF SAID action
[SignedI DAVID Il. FRANCIS,
Governor.
Regarding the order of election the gov
ernor said: my reasons for arriving at this
conclusion are there is a provision in the
constitution of the United States which
makes it mandatory for the governor to
call elections to fill vacancies when they
happen, and 1 do not feel empowered
otherwise. Again. the sentiment OF the
people in the Fourth district is univer-
sally the same. They are in favor OF an
early election; also an elected cannot be
called during the life of the present con-
gress which would ignore the vacancy
therein. and it would be unwise TO call
two elections at different dates, because OF
the expense it would entail; furthermore,
Missouri should be represented at the
close of the session, which is always the
most important portion, and should have
a full delegation in the event of an extra
session being called"

DEATH OLA NOTED CHARACTER.

DAVENPORT, Ia, Jan. 3L-An eccentric
character, known to the dramatic travel
ing profession the country over as Prince
Albert, died here today, aged "a years. He
was a negro, born a slave and reared a
slave. He had fine natural gifts, in
herited from his father. who was
an eminent Kentucky statesman of a
past age While in Missouri he was
the property of r. c. Nuckols, whose name
the negro took. He married there and
then bargained with his master for the
freedom of his wife and himself. He paid
81 900 for himself and half that sum for
his wife's liberty Prince Albert came to
Davenport in 1854, and paid several hun
dred dollars on his contract after that
time He was city bill-poster for twenty
five years and occasionally occupied the

SHOTlN LIE BACK.

ST LOUIS Jan. 51.-A special to the
Post Dispatch from Little Rock. Ark,
says: Advices received today from Wynne,
Ark, says that Edward Parde, prominent
merchant, was shot in Harris saloon while
playing pool. He was standing near
Marshal Hudson, when a door behind
him was pushed open and some one
outside fired shot at him
The charge entered the left side, passing
almost through the body. Parde died in
three hours. George Cogbill and John
Laferty were arrested on suspicion. Laf-
erty was discharged and Cogbill made his
escape. 1t is claimed he was the murderer
and intended to shoot Marshal Hudson.
who had him arrested one day last week
for some minor offense, ana against whom
lie threatened vengeance. Hudson and
Cogbill are brothers-in-law.

WEST VIRGINIA POLITICS.

CHARLESTON, ". Va, Jan. 31.-The
Kenna men are daZzled by the results of
the two ballots for a United States SEN
ator taken today. Late last night they
gave it out that two democratic kickers
had agreed to support him. They had
their men in Kenna's room at a late hour,
and when they . left their conviction
was confidently announced. If these
gentlemen ever agreed to support
Kenna. they must have changed their
minds some time this morning; at any
rate, they did not vote for the senator, and
tonight are more determined than ever IN
their declarations that they will never do
so. The joint assembly met at 2 O'Clock,
and the usual ballot was taken. MeSSrS.
Van Pelt, Dorr, Harr and Merrill, Demo-
Gratis bolted the nominee and divided their
votes among as many other men as they
had done yesterday. kenna could not be-
lieve that he was not to receive the votes or
Van Pelt and Dorr, and at his suggestion
the Democrats insisted on another ballot.
The Republicans had no objection and 1t
was taken. The result was the same as the
first vote. Kenna received AZ, Golf ~ and
6 scattering: necessary to a choice 40. OF
the scattering votes four were Democrats
and two ReDu blican. Carr and Kirk, the
Labor Republicans, voted for a Labor pol
itician named Goshern. 1t is understood,
however that they will support Golf when
ever there is an opportunity to elect. The
Republicans are in good shape and expect
that that opportunity will come at any
time.
Delegate Smith, of Tyler county, the
Republican member who has been absent
since the beginning of the session on ac-
count of sickness, arrived here tonight
and will occupy his seat tomorrow. This
will bring the Republican vote up to its
tull strength. In view of this fact it IS
highly probable that the Republican sena-
tors will permit the senate to meet the
house in joint assembly to canvass the
returns of the election. A warm contest
is expected there over the declaration of
the vote on governor. General Golf Will
insist that this be done and the Demo-
Gratis will oppose it to the last. 1t is a
matter of life and death so far as Judge
Fieming's chances in the contest are con-
cerned, and this accounts for the bitter
ness with which it is proposed to fight the
matte.
Even if the Republicans are defeated in
this preliminary struggle, they still have
the upper hand 1t VIII only put Golf and
Fleming on the same ground, with the
advantage in favor of Golf that he has a
clear majority which Fleming must prove
is fraudulent, in addition to rebuff
ting the proofs of fraudulent votes which
Golf will present.
1t has Just leaked out that the faction of
Democrats opposed to kenna Will try to
have another caucus held tomorrow night.
Their object is to have him withdrawn.
There is hardly any possibility that the
plan will succeed. If caucus is held
there will be a bitter contest and split is
almost inevitable The four kickers say
they will not 90 into this or any other eau
Gus as long as kenna is in the field as
candidate.
