has been expected for several days, but
while there was still a chance for his
life the physicians thought it advisable
not to permit him to make an ante
norton statement OF the circumstances
surrounding the shooting. He died,
therefore, without making any
statement and the case against
Kincaid will rest entirely on
the testimony of himself and two
eye-witnesses of the tragedy. One of
these eye-witnesses was. Samuel Donald
son, of Tennessee, door-keeper of the
House of Representatives, who has re-,
fused to make any statement for publ
cation. Donaldson was with Taulbee
at the time the shooting occurred. The
other witness was a boy who is not to
be found. The stories of the shooting
differ in one important particular.
Kincaid and Taulbee had had an en-.
counter some time prior to the shooting
in the corridor adjoining the hall of the
House Of Representatives on the east.
1t was said just after the shooting took
place that kincaid had armed himself
after the first encounter with Taul-
bee, and seeing him going. down the
stairs that lead to the basement lad
run after him. called to him, and as he
turned, shot him in the face. Kincaid
claims that he armed himself in fear of
dangeS from a further encounter with
Taulbee: THAT Taulbee had warned him
to arm himself, and that Taulbee insult
ed and attacked him on their second en-
counter, rendering, in his opinion, re-
sort to the piscs a necessity. The theory
of self-defense will be set up by Kin
caid's lawyer.
AS soon. as the news of Taulbce's
death reached police headquarters, an
officer was sent to kincaid's room, he
was awakened. and after he had dressed,
was taken to the police station W mere he
now is.
William Preston Taulbee represented
the Tenth district of his State in the
Forty-ninth and Fiftieth Congresses.
He was eminent in debate for his fluenny
and vocal power, gifts which were aided
in their effect by his superior stature.
Mr.. Taulbee'a. home was at Saylorsvllle,
KY. He was born in Morgan County,
that State, October %, 1851, and was
educated in private country schools,
The three years between 1875 and 1878
were spent By him in preparation for
the ministry, and during the next three
years he rea,t law. He was elected
clerk to Magof1ln County Court in
1878 and reelected in 1882. His first
election to Congress was in 1884.

Der: Wilfred Clark, of North Stoning-
ton, Conn, a law senior, played game
If poker with John NJ. Verhotf, of
Louisville, Ky, and lost, but raised a
question which, it was agreed should be
referred to the Police Gazette, for decis-
ion. A bet of 500 was made on the
point. Later Clark showed a letter pur
porting to be from the Police Gazette
sustaining his, views of the case. Yer
hoff paid the $500 but still insisted that
he was right.
1t was them agreed to refer the mat
ter to the Clipper, and another 500 was
bet. Clark again produced decision
in his favor. apparently from the Clip
per. Verhoff paid the second hundred,
but was suspicious, and wrote the Clip
per and Gazette people. He found that
they had never written to Clark. YER
hoff accused Clark of tric1ery, and
Clark returned the $500, and gave d
check for the amount he had lost to Ver-
hoff. Shortly afterward, however, he
asked to see the check a moment and
when it was handed him he put it in
his pocket and disappeared. His action
so disguised the students that they de-
cided to make the facts public.

DIR. Nansen, the Arctic explorer; in
lecture before the Geogratiske Sells
kap at Christiania, explaining his plans
for north pole expedition, advocated
the employment of a ship built with a
special view to strength, and having It's
sides constructed at such an angle that
instead of being crushed by the ice the
vessel will be raised By it. The, route
proposed by DR.. Nansen is through the
Behring straits, where advantage is TO
be taken OF the favorite current to carry
the vessel northward and thus attempt
to reach the New Siberian islands as
soon as possible. Here the vessel
would enter the ice foes and would pro-
coed toward the north pole, in which di-
rection the CURRENT would probably
carry it.

the State Treasury at the close of business
March t. have the honor to report as fol-
lows:
We have examined the books of the office
and find that there should have been in the
hands of the treasurer at the time named
the sum of $3.50, 1892. On a careful ex-
animation of the books of the auditor we
find the same amount is required after al
lowing for seven warrants drawn by the
auditor on the treasury not presented or
paid. The sum total we find in the treasury
vaults and in the different State repositories
was but S1,517 ,394.33.
We present detailed statements of the diff
ferent places where defic encies are found,
and how they occurred, so far we have
been able to ascertain, in exhibits marked
a." ''B" and &C" attached hereto. We
have also counted the bonds and the cOu-
pOns for interest paid by the National Bank
of Commerce, of New York, State agent,
which we find in vault, and find that account
correct up to February %, 1890, the date OF
the last statement rendered in the bank We
have also examined the certificates of State
indebtedness due school and seminary
funds, and find them correct they being in
the former certificates for S3,134 900 and In
the latter certificates for $4,000. So far az
