A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A Shocking Murder Committed on the
Streets of Wheeling, W. Va.
WHEELING. w. Va, March T.

WHEELING. w. Va, March "A
tragedy which had long been predicted
occurred on Eleventh street at 1920
O'Clock tl,is morning. when DR.. J. G.
Baird. one Of the oldest physicians Of
Wheeling and very prominent in local
politics and municipal government mat
tiers, was shot twice and almostinstant-
ly killed by DR.. George J. Garrison. The
latter is member OF the State Board of
Health and widely known over large
section of the country as an authority
on matters of sanitation. The murder
was the Cutgrowth OF a feud Of more
than a years standing, and the crime
created the widest excitement. Many
threats of lynching were made against
the murderer since the shooting. About
Q O'Clock this morning the two men met
atthe Second Ward Market and had some
words. They separated: but about half
past 10 DR.. Baird drove past DR.. Garri-
son, who was standing at Market and
llth Street. AS Dr.. Baird passed DR..
Garrison he said to q friend: There is
going to be trouble" He then walked
up 18th street and stopped DR.. Baird at
the corner Of an alley. The two talked
for a moment and DR.. Baird moved on
about fifty feet and alighted to see
patient. AS DR.. Garrison came up he
had revolver in his hand and said:
Take thlt back DOCTOR" Or. Baird
replied: Il don't have to take it back,
you niggeried-." DR.. Garrison then
fired and as DR.. Baird slowly turned
toward him Garrison fired second time.
The ball took affect in Baird's left eye,
the first shot having entered behind the
right ear. Baird walked into a store,
said that DR.. Garrison had shot him,
took off his gloves and was dead in ten
minutes, DR.. Garrison walked down
the street holding his revolver until he
meta policeman to whom he surren-
dered.
The men were on the best Of terms
until eighteen month ago, Garrison
even naming his son after Baird. When
Garrison was elected health officer
Baird performed the duties Of the Office
allowing Garrison to draw the pay and
attend lectures in Balumore. On being
elected to a second term, beating DR..
Baird's son, there was falling out. and
Garrison had Baird arrested for VIOLA
ton Of the health ordinance. This led
to personal encounter in the City Hall
last August, when Baird was knocked
down. Since then Garrison has threat
ened to kill Baird, and to-day's horrible
tragedy was the inevitable end. Dr..
Baird graduated in James G. Blaine's
class at Washington-Jetierso College
Washington, Pennsylvania.

Alliance Plans,
Wv AH.oI> 7

WASHINGTON, March ll.-Jerry
Simpson. the Alliance menber-elect
from the Seventh Kansas district, is al
ready beginning to ''kick" about the la
borlous duties Of his position. He says he
is overwhelmed Nth letters requiring his
attention, and he thinks a congressman
has entirely too much department work
to do. In fact, Mr.. Simpsons predeces-
sor, Judge Peters, found it necessary to
employ a private secretary out of his
own salary to attend to the bulk OF his
correspondence.
1t appears there is busy time ahead
Of Jerry, if he tries it all himself. But
he want. He says the Aallance mem
bers have plan. They propose that all
claims shall be referred TO the sub-Alli-
ance in the locality were it originates.
The local Alliance will investigate it
that is. make sort Of sub.court OF
claims out of itself-and render decls-
ion. If the claim is found worthy, it
will be sent to the congressman with a
proper Endorsement. In this way the
congressman will not be annoyed by the
innumerable unworthy claims.
There Is another matter which the
Alliance will seek to remedy" says Mr..
Simpson, as the mouthpiecc Of the ALI
ance congressional delegation. ''and that
is crowding Of the calendar with private
bills. The Alliance proposes that pub
lie business shall be transacted first"
Mr.. Simpson says these reforms will
be considered at conference to be held
here next fall. and plans for their lnau-
curation will be then adopted.

GREAT JUBILATIoN OVER PALo1ER'S
ELECTION.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, March 11.-This
has been gala day for the capital city
Of Illinois. For nearly a year, IN fact
since General Palmer fathered the move
ment in the West for an election of
United States Senators by vote of the
people. it has been the cherished dream
of his friends and admirers throughout
the State that he might ultimately be
chosen as the successor of Douglass in
the Prairie State and the first Democrat
ic United. States Senator from Illinois
since the days of the little giant" thirty
years age. This dream finally has been
realized and the exultation of Spring
field and Illinois Democracy has found
expression in every form of hilarity and
celebration known to the refinements of
civilization. AL the afternoon and eve
ming squads of shouting and cheering
Democrats marched through the streets
and corridors of the hotels and have
given cheer after cheer for the Demo
cratic Senator elect. Tonight the fes-
llfllS SILL COulluUSS. 4ICh OlhS dlIIl
skyrocl1ets from public squares must be
visible to Illinois farmers for many
miles ever the prairie. The DEM ocratic
members of the Assembly have been
wearing conspicuously their "10l"
badges, and amid their rejoicing they
have started a movement to procure and
present to Moore and Cockrell two mag
niticent badges SURPRISING in beauty,
cost and workmanship anything yet de-
vised. Indeed it seems that the gener-
al rejoicing has become infectious. 1t
is hardly an exageration to say that
everybody in Springfield is celebrating
tonight. All parties seem to be well
satisfied with the election of Palmer.
The Republicans almost to man are
gratifed with the action of the 100 Re-
publicans in voting on the final ballot
for Cicero J. Lindley, president Of the
+. NJ. B. 4. of the State. They see in
that action, so say, the consolidation OF
Republican and independent parties
and result in Republican victory in
1892.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. March IA
Journal special from Topeka. Kansas,
says:
The Assembly chamber was the scene
of great excitement last evening du-
ring the final session Of the House.
The report of the committee which in
vestigated the metropolitan police sys-
TEN, created for the purpose of enforc-
ing the prohibition law, stated that the
prohibition law had been a failure so
far as applied to the cities of Kansas,
and recommended that the Governor
withdraw the State police from such
cities. The report was amended, max
ing the withdrawal of the police dis
cretionary with the Governor and then
adopted.
A question arose on the adoption of
the report of the committee of investi-
cation of the conduct of the State
House commissioners. Several Repub-
licans denounced the committee and
the Farmers Alliance in bitter terms.
Rice, Republican, rose to speak, when
Elder demanded the previous question.
Rice then protested against this action
and termed it "damnable disgrace"
Speaker Elder, in reply, became ex-
ceedingly angry. and said that the
Farmers Alliance was running the
House and the Republicans must sub
nit whether right or wrong. Then the
excitement began. The galleries
hissed, the Farmers Alliance men
cheered, and the Republicans groaned.
Speaker Elder demanded that the
lobby and galleries be cleared. The
Kissing, shouting and groaning contln-
ued, and the Chair, unable to restore
order, said he would give up the ch,m'
Der TO the voice of the mob.
The sergeant-at-arms and doorkeep-
ers attempted to clear tie lobbies, and
several lively encounties took place
Several Senators, who were witnesses
of the proceedings, were unceremon-
iously hustled out of the chamber.
A general riot became imminent, but
finally Speaker Elder resumed the chair
and said he was ashamed of his con-
duct and his motion to close debate,
and appealed to all present to maintain
order.
Quiet was then restored, and Speaker
Ed er's motion to continue the investl-
cation committee was adopted with
out amendment. The House then ad-
iOurned.

formation has Just reached here that
the large cotton warehouse No. 2 OF the
Pacolet Manufacturing Company was
destroyed by Tire tonight. The origin
Of the fire is not known, but there is
strong reason for believing it to have
been incendiary. The warehouse IS

Of cotton. The president OF the mills,
Capt. j. H. Montgomery, was spoken
to Just now, ard thinks there will be

IN PITIFUL PLIGHT.
Negroes Starving and Dying by Droves
In Oklahoma.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March Especial
from Oklahoma says: "The race ques-
ton is assuminga a serious phasein Okla
homa to-day and continued agitation
which the subject is raising is more than
likely to result in a collision between
whites and blacks. When this Territory
was thrown open to settlement large
number of negroes settled in Guthrie,
but their coming excited no serious
comment. During the last six weeks
however, negroes from the South have
swarmed into Oklahoma by hundreds in
response to hopes thrown out by the
glittering prospectus which was scat
tered broadcast in communities thickly
settled by blacks. The main mover of
this grand colonization scheme is said to
be l.. p. McCabe. of Kansas, in conjunc-
ton with two white men. One hundred
and sixty acres of ground were pur-
chased nine miles north of Guthrie and
a mythical town laid out. y glowing
description of Langston City was indus
triously circulated by said agents, gen.
orally colored preachers, and the igno-
rant blacks of Arkansas and Alabama
eagerly invested their small savings in
The promised land" Gentlemen who
arrived from Guthrie to-day describes
the situation there as something pitiful.
The negroes, he says, are arriving by
hundreds, and their condition is little
worse than destitute. They are en-.
camped about the Santa Fe depot and
their sutferings from the recent cold
weather, in addition to the pangs of hun
ger, are heartrending. But the worst
feature of all and which has aroused the
Guthrie newspapers to a realization of
the situation is the fact that the new
arrivals have brought small pox with
them. The people of Guthrie at first
suppressed the fact that the disease ex-
listed for fear that the town would be
injured, but since it is found that small
poX is spreading the newspapers have
come out and openly declared in favor
Of instituting quarantine against the
blacks.
