Jeff Davis Dead.

Jefferson Davis is no more. He died
last Friday morning after brief sick.
ness at the residence OF his friend, J. u
Payne, OF New Orleans. jeff Davis
for the last forty years has been one oi
the prominent characters among the
leading men OF the Nation. Much ol
his prominence was not OF kind to en-.
aeavor him to the loyal hesrts of the
American people. But he is dead, and
Che injunction 10 "never kick man
when he is down" may be fairly applied
TO ridiculing man when dead.
Jefferson Davis made his own his.
. tory and it is too we'll known to an in.
telligent public 10 need any rehearsal
now. Mr.. Davis was a Kentuckian by
birth, being born in that commonwealth III
IN June, 1909, and was at the time OF bis
death an his eighty-frst year. One by
one the prominent actors in the great
drama of a Civil War are passing away.
The confiiet has already passed into his.
tory, and few years more will remove
those who toek any part in the great
struggled their silent home, while their
namesand acts, like those OF JEFF Davis,
will be known only in history. It is q
q very significant thought that while one
mntcs history, it be such history as will
reflect honor both on the individual and
the county.

In this country IT rapid development
the peoplinS # vacant territory and
forming of new States is but a natural
result. But the great strides from terri.
sorial ways into the methods of old States
creates a little surprise as well as some
wonder. just nov we are treated to
che spectacle of six-weeks.old Montana
enjoying the luxury OF double Legisla.
tnre, while Fargo, Dakota languishes to
the amount of $4,000 for prize fight
At least that is the amount offered by
that enterprising city to have Sullivan

THE LECONEY MURDER.
Two Important Witnesses for tho State
 Tell Their Story.

Two Important Witnesses for tho Statc
 Tell Their Story.
 CAMDEN, N.J., Oct. 3.-The habeas corpus proceedingsi in the case of Chalk Icy Leconey, accused of murdering his niece, before Referee Vroom werc inter- esting but devoid of result. The story of tho two most important witnesses on the part of the State was told, and the main facts on which the prosecution will build it's argument were divulged.
 Garrett Murray. the colored farm hand, who worked for Chalkley Lcco- ney, swore that on the morning of the murder he went to tho stable, leaving Chalklcy Leconey and his niece in the house. While in the barnynrd he heard a untitled scream from the house and shortly afterward he saw Leconey como out to the pump and wash his hands. When they both got on the wagon to go to tho field Leconey said: You shut your mouth about this, or I'll shut it for you I'll kill you."
 William Smith, neighbor. testified to Leconey's coming to him on the morning of the murder and telling him that he had a fuss with Annie and feared that he had hurt her. He said that Le- coney told him to sec that Garrett Mur- ray kept his mouth shut and they would both be rewarded after the funeral.
 This evidence will in oil probability dismiss the habeas corpus proceedings and formally commit Leconey to await the action of the grand jury.

The effect was dazzling and beautiful in the extreme.
 Covers were laid for fifty-four guests. There were present, besides the dele gates of the United States and the foreign delegates, all the members of the Cabinet, Gen. Schotield, Major Ernst. MT. Walker Blaine, Minister Ryan, MT. Lee, Mir. Moore, MT. Mason, MT. faTKe, NIT. Aoee ana representa- tiyes of the press associations.
 Having discussed tho elaborate menu for three hours, the banquet was dis missed by Secretary Blaine, who said: Before we start for tho excursions, which, to large number of those pres ent, will begin tomorrow, and I hope will terminate happily, I will offer to the company a single toast The Per- petual Friendship and Prosperity of American States.'" The toast was drunk standing. No other toasts were drunk or remarks made, and at II o'clock the banquet was at an end

Captain Kelly Creates n Scene.

CLEVELAND, Oct, 3.-Tho most dis graceful scene that was ever witnessed on the local ball grounds happened yes terday afternoon when Kelly, captain of the Boston club, was elected from the premises for threatening the um- pire.
 Kelly did not play. In the sixth in- ming Richardson was thrown out at the plate by Radford, and when three hands were retired Kelly approached Umpire McQuaid and began abusing him. McQuaid ordered him back to the bench, and the Boston players attempted to take him there. He broke away, however, and approaching McQuaid be- came more abusive than ever.
 It looked as though he intended to strike McQuaid, who beckoned to po- iceman. The latter jumped to the ground and requested Kelly to leave. He paid no attention, but started for McQuaid At that juncture the police man seized him and started for the gate.
 Kelly struggled violently and an other policeman jumped to the officers aid, and the great Michael was led struggling and kicking out of tho grounds.
 Cleveland won tho game by hitting Clarkson hard and at times when the hits counted for runs.
