lection Lost-Other Nominations Con-
hrmed-Men Whom the President
Wants to Hold Office.

tive session OF the senate lasted two hours
this afternoon, being devoted almost ex-
clusively, for the third time, to the case OF

lister to Germany. Senators Sherman,
Hawley and Blair spoke in favor of his
confirmation, the two last named being
listened to with especially close attention.
At the close of their remarks a
vote was taken on the motion to recon-
slider the vote by which the nomination
was rejected on Thursday. The motion
was lost by a vote of % to 19-Messrs.
Evarts, ingalls,, Plumb and Teller voting
with the democrats in the negative and
Messrs, Blackburn and Call with the re-
publicans in the affirmative. The repub-
licans named explained their votes on
roll-call, saying that they had no personal
feeling in the matter, no antagonism
against Mr. Halstead, but thought it right
to defend the senate against such attacks
as had been made upon its character by
him in his paper. A number OF senators
were paired, among them Mr.. Cullom
against Mr. Farwell in favor Of reconsid-
Grafton.

MURDERED BY HER LOVER.
Thomas O'Brien Kills the Girl He Had Sc
duced and Promised to Wed.

duced and Promised to Wed.
LEXINGTON, KY, April betty Shea, a
servant-girl in the family Of John Voolfolk,
was found murdered in her room in wing of
the Voolfolk mansion early this morning. by
another servant who went TO call her. The
room gave evidence of a desperate struggle,
and her night-gown and undergarments were
torn in many places. Her skull was crushed in
with some blunt instrument, and her head and
body were badly bruised. In the pocket of the
dress she had worn on Sunday was found a note
from her lover, Thomas O'Brien, saying he
would be up to her Sunday night Her
trunk had been burst open and a package of
etters had been taken by the murderer Other
servants stated that Betty Shea had been talk
ing for long time about being married soon,
and on Sunday told one of them that she and
O'Brien would probably be married Sunday
night.
O'Brien was placed under arrest and at first
admitted he had been with the woman early in
the night, but afterward denied having been
there at all Sunday night. The post-mortem
examination showed that Miss Shea would have
been mother in less than five months and at
the coroneTs inquiry DIR. Young testified that
OBrlen wanted him to furnish medicine to
produce an abortion on Betty. Several damag-
ing letters to the girl from O'Brien were intro
duced. O'Brien was held as the murderer.
The girl was prepossessing in appearance
and of good reputation. OBrien murdered a
young man named Metcalf in a saloon fight a
year ago, but was acquitted on the grounds of
self-defense. He will attempt TO prove an alibi
in this case. Public excitement was running
high to-day, and O'Brien was quietly removed
from the city prison to the county Jail.

PLOTTED AGAINST GARRETT.
scheme OF Mexican DesperadOes To Sc
cure Handsome Ransom.


BALTIMORE, March 26.-The object of Robert
CARROTS party in visiting Townsville, Ca,
instead of going to the city of Mexico, as it was
announced they would on leaving Ringwood,
n. j., is explained by special from San An
tonic, Tex, in tO-day's american.
The dispatch says that Mexican papers have
been publishing daily dispatches describing
CARROTS trip thither and estimating his wealth
up TO S1000000O0 A band of half-breed des-
peradoes read them and planned to stop Gar
rett's train when it entered Mexican territory.
They were to be heavily armed and we're to
seize Mr.. Garrett and those of his party whom
they thought advisable, to detain and hold
them prisoners In a cave until the relatives in
Baltimore should come down with a tremen-
dous sum for ransom.
The plan might have succeeded but for the
fact that one of the outlaws got drunk and
talked about the scheme to a crony in San
Antonio saloon one day last week. The fellow
was Mexican, and he talked in low tone,
but detective overheard his story and CON-
municated it to his superiors. The Garrett
party were informed and thought it safer to
change their plans and 20 to ThOmasville and
to Jacksonville, which they did.
A letter received in Baltimore yesterday
from one of Mr.. CARROTS party states that the
trip to Mexico has been abandoned for reasons
best known TO Mr.. Garrett and his friends.
The letter further states that Mr.. Garrett has
been much benefited by his trip, and is now
in excellent health and spirits.
The story from San Antonio has created
much excitement in Baltimore business and
financial circles, and while not much credence
is given to it. it is thought that it may be true
At the Garrett banking house it is said that
the change of plans was merely fancy of a
sick man.

6. BLAINE, Secretary of State.
A Row Imminent.
Washington Special. !

A leading senator who voted for Halstead
said: "The president need not be surprised if
he gets into row with the senate, and if ne
does it will be his own fault. He seems to
think that he is solely responsible for the good
conduct of this government, and we want a
share in the responsibility. / have quit going
to the white-hOuse to ask for appointments,
and now when a man comes here and asks me
TO go with him | always beg off and write him a
letter that he take up himself. / have
been up twice to ask for appointments that l
thought my state was entitled to, and which
any other president would have given me with
out a word. But Gen. Harrison acted as
though all the Offices belonged to him, and that
/ was there to beg, borrow or steal one, and the
president appears to be quite as independent
of his cabinet officers as he is of the members OF
the senate"

Bell at CurdsvilIe, KY.
EVANSVILLE, March 31.-[Special. From
William Fisher, merchant of Curdsville,
Davies county, Kentucky, who came down on
the Greensboro to-day, the particulars of a muir
der that was committed at that place at
o'clock this morning were learned. 1t seems
that Wick Whitecliff and Henry Bell, two
white men, employed in a tobacco factory at
Curdsvilie, became involved in a dispute on
Saturday, which, for a time, threatened TO be-
come quite serious, but they were prevented
from coming together by other workmen.
Sunday morning, however, Whiteclif repaired
70 Bells house and tried 20 force an entrance.
Bell awakened, and discovering that
Whiteciff was at his door, warned him to desist.
The latter did not heed the warning, and as
soon as he forced the door open Bell plunged
the blade of a small pocketknife into his right
side. The blade penetrated vital spot, and
Whitecliff died in a few moments. Bell then
escaped He is man of family, while his vic
tim was a single man. The blade of the knife,
with which the deed was committed, was but
an inch-and-a-half long.

natl Married in Milwaukee.
MILWAUKEE, March 30.-Between 2 and
3 o'clock this morning in a parlor at the
Plankinton house Miss Isabella f. Harner,
the only daughter of Judge Harner, OF
the appellate court of Cincinnati, was
married to John Consedine, the proprie-
tor of one of the fashionable saloons OF
Chicago. The couple arrived on the mid
night train over the Northwestern road,
and Justice McGarigle was Immediately
summoned TO perform the ceremony. A
marked feature of the occurrence is the
fact that the bride disappeared from her
home in Cincinnati last October. and has
not been heard of by her parents until
they received a telegram, which was sent
last night, informing them of her marriage.

Anxious About Leeds.

Says a U. S. senator 81 don't see why Har.
rison should be mad because / simply oppose
the confirmation of one of his nominees.
There is Quay, for example. The president is
going to reject his nomination for postmaster
at Philadelphia, and | reckon that Quay is a
great deal more anxious that Bill Leeds should
be postmaster at Philadelphia than the presi
dent was that Murat Hastead should be
minister to Berlin. If the president refuses to
advise and consent to the appointment of Bill
Leeds, don't see why he should complain il
Quay refuses to advise and consent to the APP
pointment of Halstead."

voted against the Cincinnati editor will not ask
any favors at the white-house or state depart

the president will renominate Halstead and
give the senate chance to reverse its action

Blaine to be president is about exploded.
Such a rumor, it is said. stiffened Gen. Harri-

SHOT BY A SERVANT GIRL.
A Mysterious Affair at Lima, o., Which
Looks Like Murder.

LIMA, o., March pa young lady eighteen
years of age, the daughter of Adam Gettman, a
farmer living near Columbus Grove, was shot
last night by another girl named Micheal, who
had been employed to do homework by the
family. About two weeks ago an attempt was
made by unknown parties to kidnap Miss Gett-
man, who keeps house for her father, her
mother being dead. Her father afterward
purchased a revolver to be left IN the house so
she could protect herself. The Micheal girl
was employed yesterday to help do house
cleaning In the evening both girls were work
ing up stairs and the Micheal girl was examin-
ing the revolver. While Miss Gettman's back
was turned, suddenly the pistol was fired just
as she turned around, the ball striking her in
the right cheek below the eye and ranging
downward, making a fatal wound. Miss
Micheal claims the shooting was accidental,
while others say she was jealous of Miss Gett-
and shot her purposely. The affair will
be thoroughly investigated.
