Senator Vance's AffIctiOn.

The operation of removing Sena-
tor Vance's diseased left eye was
successfully performed yesterday
By DR.. Swan M. Burnett, of this
city, assisted by DR.. Walsh. DR..
Chisholm, of Baltimore, had, in
company with DR.. Burnett, ex.
amined the eye on Sunday, and it
was then decided to remove the
eye Immediately for the reason
that Its further presence in the
socket would be dangerous TO the
right eye, which is unaffected. The
Senator was placed under the in
fluence of an an9sthetlc and the
operation was completed in about
thirty minutes. 1t was a com
plete success and the Senator says
he feels very much relieved. He
expects to be back in his seat in
the Senate IN a few days. The
surgeons say there is no prooa'
bility OF the other eye becoming
affected, therefore the Senator will
have practically as good eyeslght
as he has enjoyed for the past year.

RIDDLEBERGER ON MALONE.
Special Dispatch to the Alex. Gazette.


WASHINGTON, ID. g., Feb. Il
Senator Riddleberger and eX-Sena-
tor Hahone were seen for moment
together last night. When they
parted company the Senator was
asked what he thought of General
Malone as a possible cabinet Of
fieer. He said he thought ca0l-
net officer ought to have read the
Constitution of the United States,
and especially should this be "a re-
aulrement in view OF the CIVIL
service laws, which make men,
women and children to know some
thing beyond the mere body OF
politics. He added, that Malone
is in no sense a representative OF
Republican sentiment III the South.
Malone, he said, defeated the en-
tire electoral ticket IN Virginia to
carry out a personal policy
Thirteen hundred and htty.elght
votes, he SAID, we're all We Ieai'J
had to overcome of the electoral
ticket. Our vote throughout the
State was increased, but instead
of six representatives, as now, we
elected but two. 1t has been
noticeable, he SAID, that the guber-
material year is the period when
Malone seems not to like a South
western man. TO make one too
prominent might by possibility
book him for governor. -Four years
ago it was jus. as it is now. Iheni
too, he said, without New York, II
was possible TO seep America
Republican. Malone did all IN his
power to defeat that result. 1t
may no. he forgotten, he sad, tha'
Malone called on Blame at Phlla
delphia; and it may not be ex
pected that Blaine and Malone
should be members OF the same
cabinet family.

A Woman Knocks out a Tramp With
a Rolling Pin.

LEBANON, PA, Feb. 1O.-A
tramp is in the hospital here sui
ferlng from severe injuries about
the head, which were inflicted a
few days ago by Mrs. Catharine
Penn OF this place. The tramp
called at Mrs. PENIS home and
asked for something to eat. He
was taken into the house at the
table, and he soon discovered that
Mrs. Penn was alone. He then
began to threaten her and use IN
sulting remarks, whereupon Mrs.
Penn, a woman of fine muscular
development, calmly walked to the
cupboard, seized rolling pin and
struck the fellow on the head,
knocking him down. She repeat.
ed the blows several times, aud
then Mrs. Penn sent out for the
police, who found the tramp lying
on the floor in a senseless con

WHY AN EXTRA SESSION ?

II for no other reason it is now
believed there Will be an extra
session of the Fifty.frst Congress
to get the organization. 1t is
probable that there will be but
FIVE, possibly seven, Republican
majority, and tina: must not be
hazarded, Republicans say, simply
because an extra session means
some extra work. The Republican
majority will be about seven, I'M
less they fail to get the certificates
in the doubtful West Virginia dis
tricts, and that for Evans IN the
disputed Tennessee district.
It is a most remarkable thug
that at this late day the matter
should still be in doubt. Most
Democrats, however, are ready TO
concede that the Republicans OF
Vest Virginia will get their
certificates.
Il was said some time ago that
Clunle, the Democrat in the Fifth
California district who was given
the certificate, had become salts.
fed that Phelps, the Republican
had been legally elected and was
r~ady 10 surrender the place. This
has been found not TO be the case.
C.unig. il is understood, will in
sist upou the legality Of his own
election and The matter will have
20 he settled in contest before the
House.
This will leave the Democrats
lj9 strong, with the probability
that the Republicans will have all
the rest. The Republicans have
1913 members uuquestioned. The
two in West Virginia are still in
dispute, as is the one in Tennessee
thus, though it is expected that
these last three Will 20 with the
majority, the Republicans are, fol-
a fact, assured OF but one more
than a majority of the House.
This is working on the minds o
the members in the House, with al
the uncertainties as to the hou
of death, and is more weighty
This has been a subject of NOR
serious thought to the Republican
members than any of them vii
admit, and the more thought
given to it the more is the neces
sity of an extra session made plain
The admission of three Territorle
and the passage OF a bill now re
ducIng the revenue might not
therefore, avert an extra session.

His Twin Brother Saw the Halves
Murder.

The latest Development in the
Hawes murder case is the capture
by TWO Age Herald reporters of a
man supposed to have been an eye
witness of the murders. The re-
porters got on the mans trail and
followed him 1000 miles, finally
capturing him in Middleton, Tenn.
The man claims that he is the twin
broth, of the man who saw the
killing of Mrs. HAYES, but his
brother told him he saw a man
strike Mrs. HAYES with a club
The lady then an and Fannie
Bryant caught and flushed her.
He also saw them carry the bodies
of Mrs. HAYES and the little girl
through the woods in SACKS to
Eastlake. The testimony will
probably have an important bear
ing on the trial as bringing Fannie
BRYANT in the case. He says two
white men assisted HAYES TO dis
pose OF the bodies.

President CIeveIand's Future.

The question of the Presidents
future has at last been settled by a
statement that comes from the
White House to the effect that on
the 9Th of March Grover Cleveland,
then a private citizen, will become
a member of the New York Law
frm of Bangs, StetsoD, Tracy u
MacVelgh. Ills name will not be
incorporated with that of the firm,

MIR. Wayne Macyelgh, the father
of Mr.. Chas. MacVeigh, of the

in New York city. At first he will

CLAYT0N'S ASSASSlNS.
A DEMOCRATIC PAPER POINTS
THEM OUT TO THE OFFICERS
OF THE LAW.
Little Rock, Ark, Gazette Dem.

The men who stole the ballot
box murdered John NJ. Clayton to
prevent detection of the crime of
November. Some poor devil may
have been hired to fire the fatal
shot, but this is unlikely. The
authors of that hellsh deed are
men who live 10 that community,
who wear the badge OF respecta-
bility who still daily mingle with
their fellow citizens who may
have been in the crowd that 10 the
gray of the morning viewed the
victim of assassination as he lay
crlmsoned with his own blood who
we're in the midst Of the large
assemblage gathered at the station
when the corpse was taken away,
and who, in trembling tones, with
ashen cheeks, and in accents
worthy of Pecksniff, still sadly
deplore the murderous deed that
has disgraced their community and
startled the nation. They are there
every man OF them. Not one
has left. Not one has departed
from his daily pursuits. Not one
has lorsaken his daily haunts; for
one and all know that, for the
present at least, the path of safety
~ found only in brazenness and in
/ following the tide of public opinion.
If the officials bent on discover
ing these assassins desire to sue
coed let them waste no time in
pursuit of idle theories. No tramp
/ fired through Mrs. McCraven's
window. No personal enemy killed
Clayton. He fell victim to the
necessities of men who deemed 1t a
1 laudable act to steal ballot'b
/ in November, and essential to per-
sonal safety to commit murder In
January. They are men who hold
up their heads, and rank with the
best of their class in that little
community. They do not, like the
burglar, seek hiding.places. They
do not shrink aghast at the ap-
proach of the representative of the
law. They grasp him by the hand,
and they offer their aid in hunting
down the assassns.
