TRAMPLED TO DEATH BY A BULL.

INA LEU ~ LEA III D1 n DCLL.
Milan, Tenn, March PA mes
senger from the lower end of this
county, who arrived few moments
ago in hot haste after a physician, re-
lates the details of the death of a
farmland named Jack Willis, who
was trampled to death by bull. The
farm is situated in deserted section of
the county, and there was On the place
the owner, the family aud Willis,
who seems to have been a stranger,
arriving here from Illinois last week.
The owner of the farm, a man named
Jones, had a few head of cattle, and
among them was bull which had
been vicious for some time. 1t was
feared that the animal might do some
harm, and not long since his horns
were sawed off. The bull was kept
in an Enclosure containing an acre of
ground, and whenever either of the
men on the place had occasion to en-
ter the yard they were invariably
armed with a pitchfork, as the
animal could best be controlled
with that instrument. This morn.
ing Willis went to the yard to
attend to a couple of colts which were
running at large in there, armed as
usual with his pitchiork. The bull,
as soon as he saw Willis, charged
down on him. The man shouted and
waved the pitchfork, but the animal
continued to rush on, while Willis
slowly backed to fence. In doing
so he stumbled against a log and fell
backward, and before he could re-
cover himself the brute was upon
him crushing the life ont of him with
bis hoofs. The bull continued to paw
and butt the man for some time, and
with part of the horn which
had been left on him ripped the
poor fellows stomach open until the
corpse was hideous sight to behold.
The whole affair was witnessed by
Mrs. Jones, but she was SO paralyzed
with fear that she could do nothing.
When Mr.. Jones himself returned tue
mangled remains were placed in box
and a man sent for a physician to
sew him up. As nothing was known
of Willis relatives, be will be burr d
here.

Jefferson City, March 10, (SpeciaD
The senate got in lis work this morn
ing by roasting Ex-Labpr Commits
sioner Lee Merriwether and it would
appear that the trouble eau ed by his
removal was far from being ended.
Senator Burks arose to a question
of privilege this morning and
proceeded to score Mr.. Merriw Their
and the St. Louis Republic. The
Republic, he said, had insinuated
that be Was the tool of the "Pluck
me" stores and that Merriwether had
quoted him as Saying that he thought
children should be made to work 10
tactories and mines. Both charges,
he said, were false and he then laid
Mr.. Merriwether out in a manner
which would have made that gentle
man foam had he heard
it. He referred to Merriwe,her's
treatment of his wife and called him
all the vile names his mind could in
vent. Senator Miller was also abused
by Burks for defending Merriwether
Miller replied to Burks' abuse by say
ing that Merrlwether had made a
good official, and that he had just
lately learned of his mistreatment of
his wife. Senator Sam Major, of
Rq Vas about time ae Tor bis Voice to
be aired and proceeded to call
Editor Jones, of the Republic,

liar attributes and said that no such

the letter written by Merriwether's
wife he was of the opinion that Merri.
wether ought to have his throat cut
and that he would have appointed
himself a committee of one to do the
emitting had he happened to see
him. He told the newspaper
men to state that if either Jones OF
Merriwether wished to call him to &C,
count they could find him anytime,
and if he could not whip them, then
he W. uld keep out of Howard county

SIX MEN SHOT.
A Fearful fight i'm a Kentucky
Bar-ROOm.

Louisville, KY, March IA
terrible battle occurred at Kilgore, a
small mining town 20 miles from
Catlettsburg, last night, in which six
men were fatally shot. At the public
hall Tuesday evening a dance was
given. As the night wore away the
men began to show signs of intoxica-
ton. A quarrel arose between two
of the dancers over a young woman.
Suddenly shot was fired and many
of the men. women and CHILDREN Chi Y en-
man to fall was Sherman Lucas, a
miner. His friends rallied to
his rescue and a perfect
fusilade was the result. Between
10 to 20 men were engaged on both
sides and it is estimated that between
so and $50 shots were fired. The
firing ceased only when ammunition
was exhausted. During the fight the
lights were extinguishei. When the
smoke of the battle cleared away six
men lay on the floor fatally wounded.
They are Sherman Lucas, Charles
Bunting, Sam Bunting, Andy Howell,
JEFF Waugh and David Waugh. The
Buntings and Waughs are not expect.
ed to survive during the day. No
one has been arrested and it will be a
hard matter to fix the guilt.

POISON INA MEAL BARREL.

Waco, Tex, March II. "A few
DAYS ago mention was made of the
poisoning of Pen j. Duty and his
wife and a young lady boarder, Miss
Fontaine, and a negro woman named
Jane Malinda Dixon, at the town of
Rosenthal, twelve miles from Waco.
All recovered. Yesterday Duty and
wife and Ed G. Duty and wife, after
eating dinner, were taken with the
identical symptoms manifested on the
former occasion, Ed. G. Duty is a
son of Pen j. Duty. He and his
wife when the last poisoning occurred
were visiting his parents. The family
physician, DIR. Clark was called in,
and again succeeded in counteracting
the poison. Rigid search was made,
which resulted in the finding of rough
on rats in the meal barrel, manifestly
stirred in the meal for the pur-
pose of extermiDating the
household. This, with the
attempt of last year, making three al
tempts to poison the Duty family,
naturally reused the little town of
Rosenthal to the highest pitch of ex-
element. A party is suspected, and
to day the McLennan County Grand
Jury, which is in session here, is max
ing an energetic effort to get suffici-
ent evidence to warrant a bill of in
d;ctment.

MURDER MYSTERY.
Nicholas Eaton, a Wealthy Cap
italist, Found Shot
Dead.

Kansas City, Mo-, March II. Mich
olas Eaton was mysteriously shot and
killed last night. Whether he COM
nitted suicide or was murdered is not
known. Late yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Eaton drove to the farm of Seth
Ward to look at some stock. About
1880 o'clock his dead body was found
about two squares from his residence
at the corner of Vine ard Linwood
avenues on the outskirts of the city.
There was bullet-hole in the right
side of his head and revolver with
two chambers empty was lying by his
left side. About two feet to his right
SSel19.fhoTes In it, one through the rim
and one at the spot corresponding to
the wounds in his head.
Mr.. Eaton was a wealthy business
man of this city. He owned ranch
in the Texas Panhandle, mines in the
Joplin mineral district and considera-
BILE property in this city. His wealth
is estimated at $500. 600.
His family relations were Of the
most pleasant character, and his bust
ress was in the best condition. His
wife says he never owned and never
carried revolver. 1t is not thought
probable that he committed suicide.
Still, there seems to be no motive for
the murder. He had no enemies, and
about $50 in money and $4,000 in
negotiable paper was found on his
body. Coroner Langsdale made a
personal but partial investigation into
the affair last night, and is of the
opinion that Mr.. Eaton was murdered
by robbers, who were frightened away
before they secured their booty.

Referring to the case of Labor
Commissioner Meriwether, the Jour-
nal is glad to know that, thus far,
only one labor organization has been
induced to "resolve" that as long as
public official duties acceptable no
account should be taken of his private
or domestic affairs. We need not
say that this doctrine would, if ac-
cepted as correct, frequently lead to
the most disgracefuI, not to say infa-
nous, results results which would
cause every good citizens to hang his
head in shame. Shall it be said that
a public official may whip his wife,
abuse his children, or turn both out
of doors to freeze or starve, and yet
retain his position, because, forsooth, his
official duties have been faithfully
performed ? Mr.. Meriwether, it is
true, has not been charged with whip
ping his wife or turning both wife
and child out to freeze or starve, but
if he had, and the charges had been
fully sustained, according to the doc
trine set forth in the resolutions of
the organizations referred to, it would
be the Imperative duty of the appoint
ing power to ignore all questions of
merely personal or domestic character,
and consider only the ability of the
applicant to properly discharge the
duties of the office applied for. A
mong the Journals thousands of
readers we do not believe that ten
could be found to endorse this mon
strous doctrine. Hannibal Journal.

The capitol removal from Jefferson
City to Sedalia, was "sat down upon" "
in the House on Wednesday of last
week by vote of rs to AZ, and the
Sedalians returned to their homes
bowed in sorrow. Sedalia will have
an opportunity to repeat this fight in
'92, and we predict that her citizens
will 60 in to win. Should this mat.
ter be left to a vote Of the people of
the state there is no doubt but that
Sedalia would come out victorious.
There is no inducement whatever for
allowing Missouri's capitol to remain
secluded as it is, among the bog
trotters of Sleepy Hollow.

The Result Creates Great En-
thusiasm Among His Demo
cratic Friends all Over
the Country.

Springfield, Illinois, March H.
Especial. l-General John M. Palmer
was elected to the United States Sem
ate to-day on the 154th ballot. The

The result created the wild
est enthusiasm among the Dem
mocrats, although as sOoe
as it was known that Moore and Cock
rell had formally agreed to vote for
Palmer, it was practically decided
that he would be the winner in the
race. The manifests which Cockrell
and Moore signed last night, and
which clearly set forth their reasons
for voting for Palmer has stirred the
Farmers Mutual Benefit Association
from center to circumference, and
Streeter is threatening to make it
warm for them. When the result OF
the ballot was announced, the demo
cratic members of the assembly almost
went mad with JOY and Throughout
the city, there is the greatest enthus-
iasm. Taubeneck stuck to Streeter.
All the republicans voted 70 Lindely.
Gen. Palmer was the governor
from 1869 to 1872 and fulfilled the
duties of his office in such a manner
as won him the lasting gratitude of
the people of Illinois. He is aged
about seyenty-three and has held
many positions of trust and response
bility.
