that they hardly knew what to do
Widdis was in a cell, and the men
could not get out without passing
his armory and also between him
and the light, giving him splen-
did opportunity to shoot them.
The wounded man and the last
one who entered
PLEADED PITEOUSLY
to be permitted to leave the Jail
unhurt. Finally Widdis, after de-
handing promise that they would
leave the jail and cease their efforts
to do him harm, allowed them to
pass.
The mob by this time had be-
come fearful, but no one was will
ling to enter Widdis apartments,
and as day was fast approaching,
the would-be mobbers left town.
The first man that entered the
prison was an Irishman, a stranger
to all parties, and as he had lied
about being shot, the general i'm
preston is that
HE ARMED WIDDIS.
The party shot in the head was
young man by the name Of Frank
Sellers. The ball entered his face
to the right of his nose and lodged
back of his neck. He was carried
to town and had his wound dressed,
after which he returned home.
Newsreached town this afternoon
that he had, during the day, died
from the wound. The third man
was Milliard Spain, and he felt
considerably rejoiced to get away

Widdis was carried to Nashville
this evening for safe-keeping.
AN AMERICAN INTERVIEW.
Widdis arrived here on the 7:45
o'clock train lastnighton the North
western Road in charge of deputy
sheriff Grasty and special deputy
Butler. He appeared very drowsy
and feeble and was hurried to the
jail and locked up in a cell in the
main body of the prison on the
lower floor He had in his posses
sion a bottle of morphine and 50 in
money, which he said was to buy
more morphine.
The morphine and money were
taken charge Of by the jailor.
When seen in his cell by an
American reporter, Widdis appear
ed in bad condition mentally and
physically. He is tall man with
gray hair, and stopped shoulders
and has a cough, and is so weak
that he can hardly stand. He SAID
. that when the mob was trying to

WASHINGTON, Sept. l0.-rhe Tariff bill
was taken up IN the Senate today. the
question being on Is psssage--and six
hours being allowed TO close tho di SOUS
s on after which the vote Is to be taken.
AIR. Hoar, referring to the reciprocity
proposition, said that he had voted for it
yesterday with some hesitation, and
should not have dore so If he had
thou. bit that the scheme contained In the
amendment was all that was likely to
come out OF the entering on that policy.
There was some great constitutional
d faculties in the way which had been
amy statsd by Mr.. EyRrts. He thought
also thst on the one side the
reciprocal exchanges were incomplete,
and that they contained ons or two
articles, especially tea and hides, that
had to be dealt with solely in The view OF
Internal interests, and without relation TO
the Effect on othsr countries of their
being taxed or untaxsd. He thought,
also, that IN the forefront OF any policy
on that question the Uhited States should
determine to put an end, as far az ieRis-
laiion could do il, to the praotica OF
foreign nations imposing export duties on
products used mere lie would have hide
products coming from such nations eE-
cluded altogether FROM American ports IL
they couli be supplisd from elsewhere.
He, however, regarded the amendment
rather as declaration OF purpoBo than az
definition Of legislative policy; aud it
was in that view that no had given II his
support.

II will be seen that In 1882, when the
Democrats swept the county and carried
New York by 10000 majority; in 1884,
when Blaine was defeated and Cleveland
elected, aud in 1856, when the Democrats
carried the House, the Republican ma
jority In Vermont was 80 Per cent greater
than on last Tuesday.
Evidently the Vermont election this
year is Republican Waterloo. 1t will
not do to say that II 10 an of year. It Is
nothing of the kind. II ia g year in
which the greatest national interests ase

paign was permested through and through
by the feeling that the national policy Of
the past six months was on trial. The
Republicans of that state understood
very clearly that they were called TO pass
upon the Force BILL with Its hideous SEQ
tionaliam; upon the McKtaley bill, with
its aggrAyation of the unjust burdens
that have been driving people out of the
statei upon the extravaganza that has
Wlpsu ont Lhe surplus aud brought the
nation face to face with threatened de-

men who have made 1t almost religions
duty in past years to walk up to the polls
with straight Republican ballots in their
hands as regularly as election day came
round.
No wonder Speaker Rsed has felt it
necessary to loose his grip on the Congress
that he boasts has been mads By him no
longer "a deliberate body" aud rush
home to save himself from political de-
struction. His personal presence on the
stump is an advertisement to the country
that he feels his Congressional scat shak-
