sFIGUREs DON'T LIE,"
Yet Here They Show Two Congressman
Elected From One District.

The majority and minority reports in the
Atkinson against Pendleton election contest
from the fourth West Virginia district, were
submitted in the House yesterday by Mr.. Row.
ell and Mr.. O'Ferrall respectively. Mr.. Rowell
in his report reviews with great minuteness
the votes upon which the contest il based and
reaches the conclusion that "a votes
for Atkinson which were thrown out should
have been counted for him and that Pendle-
ton received credit for 2 votes which were
cast for Atkinson. thus giving the latter ma.
jority Of instead Of his opponent Pendle-
tom having majority of 10. 1t is commended,
he says, that sc illegal votes were cast for At
kinson, but Mr.. Rowell says that 70 votes for
Atkinson refused as illegal should have been
counted for him, so that if the Sc votes were
thrown out he would still have 40 majority.
Mr.. OFerrall in his minority report makes
an equally exhaustive review of the circum-
stances connected with the votes which are
contested with the result that he finds
that Pendleton, the sitting member, is entitled
to majority OF Is votes instead of -, al
shown on the face of the returns.

THE FACTS WILL LEAK OUT.
Senators Worried About the Publica-
cation Of Secret Session Doings.

For more than half an hour yesterday after
noon Senators in executive session discussed
propositions looking to more rigid enforce
ment Of the rule prohibiting the disclosure Of
proceedings Of the Senate in executive session.
The reports Of the action of the body upon the
British extrsdition Monday, printed in the
papers yesterday, was the cause of the question
being considered Among the measures sug-
gested as likely TO accomplish the desired end
was one to entirely clear the Senate wing Of
the Capitol during executive sessions Of all per-
sons except Senators and those employees whose
duties require them to be present One Sena-
tor was of opinion that the committee on rules
should investigate the subject and report what
is necessary to secure the desired privacy of
proceedings, but this was not pressed, mas
much as resolution providing for an investi-
cation has already been referred to another
committee based upon the reports of the action
of the Senate on Indian Commissioner Nor
gan's nomination. Another Senator expressed
the opinion that the Senate ought either to Sc
cure absolute secrecy through its members and
employees or else arrange to fur nish state
ment of business transacted for publication.
Under the present condition Of things injustice
is often done to Senator by the publication of a
false report respecting his action in the Senate
and he is compelled to suffer under it, being
precluded from asking or making q correction.
The Senate adjourned without taking any
action. A sentiment Is growing among the
members in favor of the position taken by
Senators Teller and Plat that nominations
should be considered in legislative session, or,
if that cannot be done, of making public at
once the action of the Senate thereon.

District Assessor Williams is preparing to tax

is of the opinion that all the large boarding
houses come within the meaning Of the hotel
act; that the law regards every place where
food and lodging are provided for and fur
nished to travellers and sojourners for pay as a
hotel For hotels containing twenty rooms or
less the license fee is s25 and 81 il charged for

PIREs.
There was shocking double tragedy at Bla.
densburg, Nd, yesterday afternoon almost
within sight Of the little stone building where
prisoners are sometimes locked up. Thomas
Lee, colored farm hand, had not lived with
his wife (Ellen) for some weeks, she having lef,
him because Of his alleged bad treatment OF
her. Ella was washing clothes at Mrs. Fisher q
house yesterday when her husband put in an
appearance.
ELLA" he said, ~ want you to come hom G
and live with me again."
Il amt goin' to do it," she replied. 81 don'i
intend to live with you again"
After discussing their domestic troubles for
awhile Tom seized his wife and threw her to
the floor. He grabbed kettle Of hot water
from the stove and attempted to scald her to
death. Ella screamed and tried to get away.
her husband did not succeed in scalding her
and began to beat her with a chair. Mrs.
Fisher attempted to rescue the woman from
mn MN and succeeded in dragging her to the yard.
The angry husband followed and, drawing a
razor-edged butcher knife from under his vest
gave his wife stab in the side.
"Tll go with you, Tom" cried the half dead
woman, but Tom would not listen to her ap-
peals. He raised her from the ground and
Lee was sure that he had killed his wife, and
he then drew the blood-stained knife across his
own throat. This time he succeeded in accom-
plishing what he started out to do. He fell to
the ground fatally wounded and died before as.
sistance could reach him. DR.. Lewis, who was
called to attend the woman, found that her skull
had been fractured and the cuts across her face
were also dangerous. He did not think she
could recover. Mrs. Lee is a quiet woman and
is well liked by her neighbors. She is about
thirty years old and looks as if Indian blood
may be in her veins. Tom Lee is little older
than his wife. He was always regarded as an
honest and industrious fellow and usually pro-
vided well for his family. His principal fault
was the use OF liquor and when intoxicated ne
seldom failed to whip his wife. 1t has only
been few weeks ago that Lee:was white.
capped" as a wife beater. The dead mans
body was taken to his late home by friends
and Mrs. Lee was cared for in Mrs. Fishers
house.
Magistrate Barron held an inquest in the az
ternoon and rendered q verdict of death by
suicide" Lees body will be inferred by hi,
mother.
