Democrats VIII Fight the Force Bill.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., December g.
The Democratic Senators had caucus
this afternoon to discuss the order of
business. The chances of the passage
of the election bill If it should reach a
final vote were canvassed and individual
Senators expressed divers opinions as to
the ability of the Republican party lead
crS to keep their forces in line. The
conclusion reached was ro maintain an
unalterable opposition to the passage OF
the bill. The minority will seize every
opportunity To discuss the bill exhaust
lively and fairly and TO strive to amend
every Objectionable feature as reached
in the detailed consideration OF the
measure as was the case with the tariff
bill. The opinion was expressed that
as the majority had not yet signliied
any intention to unduly restrict reas-
enable debate it would be premature for
the caucus TO undertake the arrange
ment OF programme to meet the pre-
sentation OF a closure resolution.

Hampstead Murders.
LONDON, December 3.-The trial oI
Mrs. Nellie Piercey, on the charge oi
murder, ended to-day.
The jury returned Il verdict OF guilty
and the prisoner was sentenced to b,
hanged.
The crime of which Mrs Picrcy wa:
convicted was committed on October .
last. On the morning OF October - the
| body Of woman, which was subse
qucntly identified as that OF Mrs. llogg
the wife of London porter, was found
in the South Hampstead locality. Hei
throat had been cut and her skull frac
tured.
Investigation by the police soon re-
vealed the fact that Mrs. Hogg had visit
ed Mrs. Piercey the previous afternoon
taking her infant child with her. a
search of the Piercey residence revealed
traces of a bloody struggle, and Mrs.
Piercey was taken into custody. The
motive OF the murder was revealed at
the coroner's inquest, when Hogg, the
husband of the murdered woman, testi-
fled that laiSon had existed between
himself and Mrs. Picrcey.
1t was shown that during the visit
words had passed between the two
women, or, as Mrs. Piercey said, Mrs.
Hogg made Il remark did not like, and
Mrs. Hogg was assaulted and murdered
by her husbands mistress. Mrs. Hogg's
infant was also killed by the woman.
The body of Mrs. llogg was then re-
moved from the house and deposited in
the place where it was found. The body
of the infant was subsequently found
nnar the same place.

The Color Line.

SpeclQl TeleOrIR, 20 the REGISTER.
CHARLESTON, w. VA, December 8
The special committee appointed by
Governor Fleming under special joint
resolution by the last Legislature to re-
port upon the adviSablity OF selecting
Shelton College at ST. AlbanS as high
school for the colored people, met here
to-day. The committee was composed
OF Capt. John :. Burdett, of this city,
III. c. Simms, of Huntington, and j. f..
Allen. of Harrison county. The com
mittee reported adversely on the Selec-
ton of Shelton College for such pur-
pose, and so far as that institution Is
concerned will never be selected as a
colored educational institution. The
reason sf the reverse report is the oppo-
sition of the people OF ST. Adams to the
location of colored school in their
midst. and the further fact that the
owners of the college did not care to
dispose of the building for such pur-
pose. So far as could be asccrtained
the colorcd people were not in favor oil
the selection of St. Adams.

voting to man and to God.
