Mrs. Avant Poisoned.

A Clarksville special Of July 5says
aOn June IL Mrs. Geo. Avant, Of
Montgomery county, Tenn, died UNI
der peculiar suspicious circumstances.
Her husband, hitherto respected
farmer, objected TO the presence Of a
physician, and but for the insistance
Of relstives, she would doubtless have

nation. The doctors pronounced
heart disease as the cause of death,
but suspicion had been aroused, and
on subsequent INVESTIGATION it was as
certained that Avant had purchased
strychnine shortly before, asking how
much il would take to kill a person.
The cook testified that he had admin
istered dram Of whisky to his wife and
soon afterward she was taken with con-
vulsions and died. Upon the strength
Of his testimony and other facts as
learned, Avant was arrested and
lodged in Jail in this city. The body
was exhumed and the stomach sent to
DR.. Wharton, Of Nashville, for analysis.
Yesterday telegram was received
here stating that the first tests made
showed to some extent the presence of
strychnine. After repeated tsst lad
been made the stryhnine celebrations
became more plainly visible and gave
the decided reactions Of that dreadful
poison. Altogether the affair looks
very bad for Geo. Avant' Avant is
in Jail and public sentiment is greatly
against him.

Notwithstanding these Interruptions
the Blaine boom goes steadily on, and
Blaine continues las ever the head of
the Republican party, and will be it's
idol in 1892 as he was in 1888. 1t was
no doubt for these reasons that Blaine
refused to be a candidate in 1888 unless
the nomination came to him with prac-
tlcal unanimity. He knows from past
experience that he must have the
united support of the party in many
doubtful States in order to secure an
election, and while he was opposed by
the Mugwumps in 1884, and probably
will be again, he will also have to en-
counter the crowd that lead the party
to destruction in this year of 1890. The
McKinleyites, who are doing every
thing in their power at present to dis
courage the candidacy of Mr.. Blaine
and to convince their party associates
that he was Indirectly responsible for
the overwhelming defeat, will probably
continue their opposition until after
the nomination in 1892, and by this op-
position may prevent a unanimous
nomination, which is almost a neces-
sity in case Blaine is the leader.
Blaine is too shrewd politician not to
understand that those men who are
jealous of his great ability and far-see-
ing craftsmanship, would sacrifice the
party and it's principles in order to de-
feat him, because he was the only great
Republican who this year declared that

It is not at all certain that Blaine
will be a candidate, in fact some of his
closest friends indicate that he has no
ambition that way, but desires solely
to lead his party to victory and to
shape his policy as Secretary of State

so as to give the people an opportunity
to rally around a new policy of trade

shall be beneficial to the country as a

of Legislation for Minnesota during this

will be of some practical benefit. Per-

way Of settling up Indian affairs and

Indians in Northern Minnesota, and
compelling those Indians, especially

that there is still alive an old faction of
