cARLrsLEs CONTEST.
Hon. Evin e. zsstIe Put in the Race in
q Humorous speech.

FRANKFORT, KY, May 14.-In addition
to the names mentioned last night as pre-
sented for votes for United States senator
in the caucus, that of Hon. Evin E. Settle
of Owen county was put forward. The
gentleman who nominated him r ,voked
r ars of laughter by describing him 8 a
gentleman from end to end, and by saying
that the senator should be a poor man, as
Mr.. Settle was, as he owns nothing but
wife and four small children" The vote on
adjournment stood 66 TO 46. The opposition
is thought TO represent Mr. Carlisle's first
choice strength. The opinion that Judge
Lindsay will be Mr.. Carlisle's chief rival
has gained supporters.
ONE OF THE RUMoRs.
Among the rumors current to-day was
one that the Louisville and Nashville Rail
way Company and Mason and Fords Com
pany are using their influence in favor Of
Judge Lindsay, who is attorney for 10th
companies This is the first hint that sug-
gests anything of business nature in the
contest. The plan suggested is to bring
over to Jadge Lindsay the friends of Ex-
Representative McCrealy and ex-Gov.
Knott.

Proceedings of the Conventions in Session
Yesterday.


WORCESTER (Mass.), September 18Th
Chairman P. A. Collins called the Demo-
cratic State Convention to order this morn
ing.
The usual committees were appointed.
John Z. Russell was elected permanent
Chairman without opposition.
The following ticket was nominated:

bridge; Lieutenant Governor, John Corc0-
ran, of Clinton; Secretary of State, Ell
dridge Cushmen, of Lake Village; Treasu-
rer, William D. Treacv. of Marblehead;
Auditor, f L Mann. of Holyoke; Attorney
General Elisha r. Maynard, of Springfield.
The platform reviews, and with more
emphasis, in view of the approaching pas
sage of the Republican tariff bill, the
demand for free raw materials, particularly
wool, coal and iron ore, for lower duties on
the necessities of life, and for markets for
American products, Snd says: I'VE en-
pbssize the Importance Of reciprocal trade
with Canada, as a means of promoting the
commercial and industrial welfare of this
commonwealth"
The Mckinley bill is denounced as the
most iniquitous piece OF legislation ever
attempted in this country. The platform
continues:
I'VE observe with interest the recent at
tempts of the Secretary of State to secure
an amendment to the Mckinley bill on in
cooperating into it some provision looking
towards more intimate commercial rela-
tions with the sixteen Republics of North,
Central and South America, which the
Democratic Committee demanded in 1888,
aud We regret failure of this attempt. We
condemn the unwiliiDgness of Republican
Senators and Representatives TO secure a
proper regard for New England interests
in framing the tariff bill and for their
avowed readiness to sacrifice its prosperity
to the exigencies of party politics. Ad-
journed.

DOUBLE SUICIDE.
Two Lovers End Their Lives Because of
Objections to Their Marriage.

New YORK, September 1Sth-A strange
double suicide occurred here at Gaybreak
this morning. At that hour Gustave G.
Koch, the well-kDown crayon artist, ascend
ed the steps to the Canal-street station of
the Fourth-avenue elevated road He
walked to a point in front of the second
story window of No. 40 Canal street, nod
ded and said: Yes; l have come, Emile.
Are you ready ?p
The answer was not heard, but Koch
drew revolver and shot himself in the
head, dying instantly.
As he fell there came what seemed to be
an echo of his shot from the direction of
the window towards which he had looked,
and in few minutes messenger came
running and saying that a woman had
shot herself at 140 Canal street.
Investigation revealed the fact that
Emile Rossi, an actress. aged 10, lay a
corpse in her bed in her room, with bull
let in her heart. She wss attired in night
robe, with bunch of heliotrope pinned to
her bosom. Il was evident that she had
barred her bosom for tie fatal shot, for her
garment was unseorched.
There is nothing to show the cause of
her death except little red spot over her
heart, with hole in the middle, for not a
drop of blood flowed from the wound.
Death evidently was as instantaneous as in
the case of Koch.
1t was evidently prearranged that they
should take themselves out of the world
together. The girl evidently made every
preparation for the event. On chair by
the window lay her clothing carefully
smoothed out.
She had been writing, and the table was
covered with small sheets of paper filled
with her thoughts as she sat waiting. The
hand was neat feminine one and did not
appear to be in the least tremulous.
They were lovers The cause of the
tragedy is supposed to have been the oppo-
sition of the girls mother TO their mar
riage.
En- lie Rossi had been on the stage since
babyhood. Hel father a~J mother lived
in Berlin. He was an Italian tenor singer
of note, but now dead. The girls mother,
who is still alive, is the German writer and
novelist Emelie Rossi. The mother was
ambitious for her child, and hoped she
would make good marriage. The girl
| came to this country two years ago and
played prominent parts in the Ambere
Theater Company.

How the Companies VIII Evade Its
Provisions.

How the Companies Will Evades Its
Provisions.
| WASHINGTON, September 1sth-The days
of the Louisiana lottery, so far as it is
! tolerated by the United States Government,
are numbered. The anti lottery bill now
/ having passed both houses, only awaits the
| Presidents signature to become q law
There does not seem to be any doubt that
| the Act will be indorsed by Mr. Harrison
at an early day. Louisiana men say that it
| viii be impossible for the lottery to be con-
Quoted on anything likethesame profitable
| basis that it has hitherto been. The friends
| of the measure believe that the lottery
company will make some arrangements
With the express companies By means of
which they will be able to communicate
with the public in manner which will be
adequate to conduct their nefarious bust
ness.
The constitutional lawyers who have
| found SO much difficulty in bringing the
| bill through will be likely to raise further
objections if the attempt should be made 70
interfere with what will be called the pri-
vate business OF express companies. The
friends of the lottery bill Insist that the
business of the express companies would
no more be interfered with by an enactment
which would prevent them from becoming
the agents Of lottery companies than is the
business of newspapers interfered with by
provisions which prevent them from pub
fishing lottery advertisements, under the
penalty of being excluded from the mail
The bill does not prevent newspapers from
publishing lottery advertisements, provided
they are willing TO depend on the express
| companies or some other agents than the
| United States mail for the distribution OF
their circulation.
! Many friends of anti-lottery legislation
objected to the measuee before it was
passed by Congress becaure it was not
strong enough, in that it does not prevent
the introduction into the United States of
! foreign newspapers which may contain
lottery advertisements. The point is raised
that it will be possible for the lottery-own-
ers to print newspapers directly across the
| northern or southern border and place
these newspapers under foreign stamps in
the mail, addressed to the long list of
| patrons of which the lottery companies are
undoubtedly possessed, and by this means
under the protection of what is called in
ternational comfy or international law
they will be able TO reach the public
| through newspaper advertisements. But
| the constitutional lawyers saw only COM
| plications in an attempt to amend the bill
in that respect and believed that in its
present form the measure will very greatly
circumscribe the operations of the Louisi-
ana and other lottery companies by put
ting the brand of national condemnation
upon them. II will. at all events, prevent
national banks from becoming the agents
OF lottery companies.
