ment. One hundred special police and

lowed by mob. A general riot was feared,
but this was averted.
VIII Result In Many Law Suits.
Deputy Sheriff Small was arrested during
the afternoon. The four deputies arrested
in the morning were confined in the police
station. Deputy Parker is subject to hem
orrhage, and claims that he was injured in
ternally by the Tough handling to which he
was subjected by the special officers who
arrested him. Two prominent citizens were
arrested for rescuing prisoners from the
sheriff, but were released on account of de-
tective warrants. Numerous law suits will
grow out of the proceedings. The sheriffs
under arrest all say they will sue for false
imprisonment. The result of the election
will be contested.

misrepresentation Taulbee Dies from the
Effect of the Shooting.
WASHINGTON CITY, March 12-The bullet
which correspondent Kincaid fired into the
head of Representative Taulbee, Feb 2S,
completed its work yesterday morning at
o'clock and Taulbee passed to the other shore,
after having been unconscious for many
hours. The fear that the exertion would be
dangerous moved the physicians to refuse
all along to permit Taulbee to make state
ment, and he died without a word as to his
relations with Kincaid or the cause of the
fatal shot.
The Dead Mans Career.
William Preston Taulbee was born in
Morgan county, Kentucky, Oct. 90 1851.
His youth was spent upon his fathers farm
In 1877 he was married to Miss Lou Only.
For seven years he taught school, and then
entered the Methodist ministry. Suisse
quently he entered the legal profession, and
served two terms as clerk of the county
court. In 1884 he was nominated for con-
gress by the Democrats and elected over
John d.. White, Republican, who had repre-
sented the district in the Forty and
Forty-eighth congresses. He did not make a
second race because Of the scandal published
by Kincaid, and which led to the tragedy.
As soon as the death of Taulbee was an
nounced police officers went to Kincaid's lodg-
ings, where they found him asleep. He was
awakened, and although he asked permission
tosleep an hour longer, this was otpermitted,
and he was hurried to Jail. He has been I'M
der police surveillance since being admitted
to bail, but never had any intention of avoid

bers and using unchristian expressions while
conversing on religious subjects, rendered a
verdict yesterday finding Bishop Bowman
guilty and deposing him from his Office as
bishop and from the ministry until the next

The above paragraph Is from the

fair sample OF the sort Of slush with
which he insutted the intelligence Of the
Democrats of that place. We are sur.
prised to see the Democratic organ in

circulation. Mr.. Pendeton knows, and
every intelligent man in the country
knows, that the question at issue on the
occasion above mentioned was not
whether the Speaker had a right to
count quorum by counting present

been the issue Speaker Reed would nc,

The above is the most serious mis-

at Weston. The balance Of his speech
was an incoherent attempt to discuss
the tariff question, about which the
would-be Congressman knows very little
more than the average primary pupil o.
our public schools, and was perfectly
harmless.
