CLAYTON'S MURDER.
The Assassin Kills His Victim i'm
Cold BlOOd-Great Excite
ment i'm Arkansas.

Little Rock, Ark, January 3O.-The as
sassination of col John NJ. Clayton, at
PIummervIlle last night has been a source
of great excitement here all day, crowds
of people b'ing cougregated at the hotels,
in tine legislature lobbieS and on the
streets discussing the subject. The event
is universally condemned In all quarters.
The township in which he was killed is the
same one in which the ballot box was
stolen containing a majority for him at the
November election, wien he was the Re-
publican candidate against Clifton 4.
Breckenridge present incumbent from the
Second congressional district, and the
same county in which Judge Nj. w Ben
iamin. who died here recently, ~as as
saulted with an air gun on the day of cleo
ton.
The dispatches indicate that the deed
was simply cold-blooded, cowardly assas-
sination. Clayton was in his room at Mrs.
Craven's boarding house at 9 o'clock last
night, together with X. Wormack. drum
mor from Benton, Ark AMI his secretary,
Mr.. AlBuu. For some time past he had
been nervous, and he feared he would have
trouble In Conway county. He had been
talking with his associates, and had
sat down near the window. Just
at that instant there was a tremendous
explosion and the gentlemen present
thought the lamp had exploded. Mr..
Womack stated that the lamp had explo-
ded, and Alnutt, who was nearest Clayton
said, "No Clayton has been shot" AS
soon as light could be procured they
found him lying on the floor, his head and
neck blown to pieces. The deed was COM
mitted with a double-bsrreled shotgun.
and a revolver was found underneath the
window.
Not 4 mau in the town knows fught Of
the crime, or If h dues his face does not so

people, and one and all dsnounce the
crime and are crying out for no red tape.
but plenty of hemp. The stores were all
open, but there was no business, the MUIR
der being the sole topic of the conversation.
About o'clock the train for Little Rock
arrived and the coffin containing the re-
mains was carefully placed in the car and
hurried away to Little Rock.

TO BE LET ALONE.
The Legislature viii Probably
Not pisturbe tn Present
DramshOp Law.

Ex-State Auditor John Walker. of
Howard county, passed through the
city this morning on his way home
from Jefferson City. While waiting
at the Union depot for his train, a
BAzoO reporter had a few minutes
conversation with Mr.. Waller, who
was not at. all averse to express
ing his views upon questions
OF state policy. Speaking
of the present aspect of the temper
ance movement in this state and the
efforts being made to change present
laws on the dramshop question, Mr..
Walker said that from what he could
gather at the capital, there would lie
no legislature on the subject this
session. While a strong pressure is
being brought to bear upon the MEM
bers of the legislature by this and that
element seeking radical changes, the
very diversity of these de-
mands would result in the legis-
lature doing nothing at all upon
the question, and this was a wise
course to pursue since the present law,
where enforced, was giving eminent
satisfaction, and was becoming
thoroughly understood. Ifany changes
were made in the present dram-shop
law, it would be 10 the nature of an
increase of the license, and division
of the tax accruing from the same be-
tween the county and the city in
which the saloon is located. The
present legislature will not submit
prohibition amendment of the state
constitution to the people this session.
That much may be relied upon.

SHOCKING MURDER.
A Little Girl the Victim of q
Miserable Brute i'm the Shape
of a Man.

New Orleans, La, January 3l.-After
having been made the victim of a most
atrociouS outrage, Juliet Dietsch, 12-
year-oid girl, was murdered. late yesterday
afternoon, by Eugene Dejan, dentist.
Dian, who is nearly 50 years of age, has
an office at No. "a st. Peter street, in the
French quarter. He has been generally re-
ga-de respectable ordinary mau and
EMO fair practice. For
soar years past he has been
the Dielsch family, and almost every day
years, out to walk. Yesterday Dejan visit
ed the house, invited the two children out,
and after short walk, induced them to
enter his Office. Once inside the room, he
lost no time in placing Juliet under the in
huence of chloroform, using false pre-
lenses to persuade the child to WELD
TO the administration Of the drug.
When the girl had lost the power
of resistance he stripped her of her cloth
ing and, carrying her into an adjoining
room, placed her on bed. He then re-
turned to the office and endeavored TO per-
suade the younger sister, Laurance, to
yield to the same treatment. She, hswerer,
and, abandoning his helllsh de-
sign upon her, he told her to 60 home and |
tell her father that he (Dejan)
aud Juliet were going to die. |
The frightened child fled precipi-
lately, and returning to his inanimate VIC !,
linn, the 6end again applied the chloroform |
10 her nostrils and outraged her. When Deit-
'che arrived in response to the summons
borne to him by his little daughter, he
found all means of ingress to the office
barred. After some delay the police were
and the doors were burst open.
On the bed were found the nude
md senseless forms of Juliet and
Dejan, the former dead and the latter
lying. The remains were taken in charge
" the coroner for further examination,
md Dejan was removed in the ambulance
o the Charity hospital, where be now lies
n an unconscious condition. with some
nance for recovery.

Richard Coleman Fined One Dol
lar and Costs for Steal.
ing Railroad Prop.
erty.
A Case Which Attracted COusid-
cradle Attraction Among
the Public.

The case of Richard Coleman,
charged with stealing a shovel from
one of the NJ, K. & I. shops, came
up for trial this morning at 10 o'clock
in Squire Blair's court. Capt. Fast
represented Coleman. and demanded
trial by jury. After the preliminary
arrangements had been made, the wit
nesses were sworn and placed on the
stand in turn.
After several railroad employees had
been placed on the stand to testify as
to the shovels used by the NJ, K. &
L. railroad company, and the manner
in which they are marked, Eddie
MaIoney, an apprentice 10 the employ
of John Kenney, was examined.
He said that he had obtained per-
mission from his employer, to
60 with Coleman for a
wagon load Of shavings
from the M. K. d T. shops and while
there, Coleman told him to 90 find a
shovel.
The boy did as he was told, and
handed Coleman the shovel. The
young man then used it until the wa
gon was half filled. Then finding
no more shavings, he threw the shovel
in his wagon tie make up the load.
Other witnesses testified to the same
effect, some saying that Coleman had
told them of his having taken the
shovel.
When Coleman took the stand, he at
tempted to clear himself, by placing
the guilt on the boy, but failed in
doing so. His mother and sister were
witnesses for the defense, and their |
testimony tended to exonerate the pris-
oner.
Prosecuting Attorney Longan and
Captain Fast then addressed
the jury in turn, after which the
jurymen retired to deliberate on a
verdict. They found the defendant
guilty and affixed his punishment at
81 and costs.
While the Jury was out, Mrs. Cole
man, mother of the prisoner, declared
that Kenney, who was one of the
prosecuting witnesses, had grudge
against the defendant. She said that
he sought to bride witnesses, and had
endeavored to corrupt her twelve-year-
old grand daughter, whom he followed
into an clubhouse for that purpose

THREE yEARs HENCE.

The discussion of a presidential
leader for 1892 seems to be both
premature and frivolous, in the
opinion Of the Louisville Courier
Journal. Half century Of Ameri-
can history teaches us that three
years is political generation in u
country and system such rs ours
Whoever dreamed of James K. Polk
ms candidate for President three
years before he was inaugurated2
In 1S41 he was defeated for Gov.
ernor of Tennessee. In fS43 he was
defeated again. II seems a kind Of
absurdity that with two such black
eyes a man should present himself
before the National Democratic Con-
vcntion rs a candidate for Vice Pres
ident, which. nevertheless, he did.
Yet he was nominated for President
by that convention, and elected.
Three years before Zachary Tay-
lor was nominated as the Wing can
didate for President he was an un-
heralded army officer on frontier
duty and undreamed of in connec-
ton with the presidency.
In 1852, when Franklin Pierce
walked off with the Democratic
nomination against Cass, Marcy
Buchanan, Dickinson and a dozen
wcll-known possibilities. his nam,
had never been heard Of in National
affairs, and he was stranger ever
TO the politics of New Hampshire
from which he had withdrawn him
self years before.
Three years before Mr.. Lincoln
was nominated for President he wat
an obscure lawyer in Springfield
Illinois.
In 1872 party Of newspaper cd
itors who thought they had the sit
uation beneath the crowns of thci
hats, and who did exercise grca
weight at the moment, agreed Il
admit Whitelaw Reid to their round
table conferences because they need

garded the suggestion Of the nam'

pEN. HAS THE .BiG HEAD"

The Washington correspondent OF
the San Francisco Examiner re-
ports the following utterance as
coming from Republican United
States Senator: Senator Jones of
Nevada was sitting in Chamber
lain's restaurant with u party OF
other Senators. who were exchang-
ing views as TO the conduct OF the
President in the distribution of pat
ronage, and one Of them remarked
that the only trouble with Harrison
was that he had the big head :
.sBig head" remarked Senator Jones,
mot only the big head but he is
30 swelled up with his own impor-
lance that il is difficult for him to
crawl through the large doors OF the
White House. If God Almighty
wore a cloak it would not make a
vest-pattern for HarrFon. The re-
mark has been very widely quoted.
