excitement in the house press gallery
Thursday afternoon over the appearances OF
a member of the house from Texas looking
for the correspondent of a western paper
with the announcement that be intended
to shoot him on sight
The correspondent is not in the city and
the Texas member returned to the floor
of the house without doing any damage.
The congressman was W. II. Grain, of
Texas, and the correspondent O'Brien
Moore, Of The st. Louis Republic.
Cause Of the Unpieasantness.
The controversy was provoked by dis
| patches sent by Moore rejecting upon
/ Grain. though the latter claims that the
correspondent has been pursuing him for
ten years. During the silver and federal
election battles in the house, Moore criti-
csed Grain, Stahlnecker and other Demo-
orats for their absence. On one occasion
he teleeraphed his paper that the Texas
delegation was strong with one exception,
and that was Grain, whom he charged
with being drunk, and therefore disgrace
70 his state His dispatch was circulated
In Texas, and, il is understood, has in
iured Grains chances for denomination.
Grain VIII shoot on Sight.

dire threats were made, nothing came Of
It, Mr. Moore was under engagement to 20
over TO New York to see his distinguished
chief, Col Jones, of for Europe He left
on time. Mr.. Grain did not know Of this
engagement in season 20 engage seat in
the "limited," aud thus a hostile meeting
was happily ayerted. Grains friends arc
trying to convince him that he has acted
foolishly, but he still imagines that he will
shoot Moore on sight The fiery Texan
succeeded Col. Thomas p. Ochiltree in
congress Moore is the man who tried to
fire an inkstand at the head of Speaker
Reed because be did not approve that
officers counting a quorum in the house.
Dissuaded from this Moore from the press
gallery shook his fist at the speaker.
