INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 3.-Reports re-
ceived by the chief of the state bureau of
statistics from seventy-seven counties show
l,72l divorces granted in Indiana the
past year. Estimating the entire state on
this basis would give a stotal OF 2,056 as
against l.623 for 1889. Congress In 1887
made an appropriation for the collection
of divorce statistics in all the states OF the
Union. The records in Indiana for the
past t~wenty-feur years show a total Of
80, 232 divorces. During the past Eve
years the divorces have been over 10 per
cent of the marriages. The report of the
chief of the statistical bureau recommends
legislation preventing criminals, paupers
and eble-minded persons from marrying
and urges that more stringent laws gov
erning marriages and divorces are re-
0uired in Indiana.

BARLEY, Ga. Jan. 3.-This morning
dawnei upOn two grief stricken families,
relatives OF Willie Pace and kinsfolk of
Nat Ashley, two prominent young men Of
Hazlehurst. Last night a parry was given
at the residence of Mr.. Girtman. near
Hazlehurst. These young men were
clerking in that town aud were warm
friends. Both desired to attend the party.
1t seems that il was understood between
them that Willie Pace would 90 out to the
patty, and return Immediately iol Nat.
He went and slald for some time, par
tieipating in the festivities. He then re-
turned for Nat, whom he found preparing
to 90 to the party and apparently irttted
because Pace had not returned earlier. A
hackman had Just arrived to- take them
when Pace returned. Pace and Ashley
commenced quarreling about the matter,
both walking into the store. II was about
$50 O'Clock, and no person was in or
about the store except themselves and the
hackmaD. Pace was heard to give Ashley
the lie, and 4 sharp report followed. In
a few moments Ashley stepped to the
door and called to the hack boy and said.
Tell Mr.. Pace to come here; ! have
killed his son." The frightened hack
man, instead OF going to Mr.. Pace. as re-
quested, ran to another store a short dis
lance way and Informed those there. At
that moment another report was heard.
Several persons rushed to the store, and
as they entered a horrible scene greeted
them. Ashley and Pace both lying dead,
one behind the counter, the other in
front one shot in the eye, the other in
the temple. Upon investigation it was
discovered that asmall Remington rifle
IN a gun case behind the counter had been
discharged and replaced, and hat PAGES
pistol was lying near Ashley, and also that
the ball entering PAGES eye corresponded
with the caliber OF the rifle and the ball
in Ashley's temple with the caliber ofthe
pistol 1t is supposed that both young
men had their weapons drawn; that Ash
ley shot Pace with the rifle, killing him
and when he realized that he had killed
his friend, seized PAGES pistol and killed
himself Both young men were about 90
years old, highly connected and had been
warm friends for years.

The Force Bill Likely to Come
to a Vote This Week.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The news that
Senator Ingalls, has started eastward, in
response to urgent kilograms from Ed
munds and Hoar, was received with some
enthusiasm by the friends of the elections
bill in the senate. The announcement
had been made that ingalls, intended to
remain in Topeka until the legislature
had elected his successor, and the Repub-
lican managers we're very much afraid
that they would not have a quorum Of
Republican senators here next week.
Paddock says he cannot be here next
week, and Squire also has announced his
intention of remaining 10 the West for a
week or more. Urgent kilograms have
been sent to them, aud they may be Der
suaded to return. Every Republican
vote will be needed in the senate next
week, as it is not unlikely that an effort
will be made u set out the elec
tons bill, and the Democrats enators
can be counted on to break a quorum, if
possible, by absentiDg themselves from
the chamber. As stated by Hale and
Teller during the recent debate in the SEN
ate, nothing has been done publicly by

quoted, to the effect that his party would
use every fair and honorable means to
BEAT the BILL" with the supplemental
statement that the Democratic leaders
had not put forward their heaviest speak

The colleagues and friends of Senator
Hearst are much alarmed at his con

rallies. his condition is not improved. He
remains very weak and the complaint,
which is an affection of the stomach and
bowels, does not yield readily to treat

of depression that diminish his strength.

Kerr today issued a warrant for the arrest
of Edward Clensinger, who is charged by
his wife with assault, cruelty and neglect.
The Clensingers have for some time been
living, with their four children, in q
miserable little shantY boat on the banks
OF the Allegheny river. They have had
their romance, and by bitter experience
have demonstrated the truth OF the old
saw about marrying in haste and repent
Tag in leisure. Clensinger is the son Of a
wealthy retired merchant OF Detroit,
Mich. His wife is the eldest daughter Of
Egbe t Donaldson, some years ago one Of
the foremost merchants of the same town.
In 1882, When the pair were in the 2ns,
they by met chance at a swell reception
and and fell in love at first sight -Four
months later they were married, despite
the protests of Miss Donaldson's
parents, who objected to Glen

years, when his father lost his fortune,

had lived were cut of. Mr.. Donaldson

their poverty the husbands cruelty and
neglect of his family have increased until
they have been unbearable. Friendless

since his capture, and no one has cla'med

When it is remembered that the stom-
ach of a horse is really small in proper
ton to the size of his body, it will be
seen that it requires feeding often-even
four times a day. Unlike human be-
ings, horses should drink before eating,
and drink as much as they like. Owing
to a strange internal arrangement in a
horse, the water does not remain in the
stomach, but passes through into the
cacum-a large intestine.
If a horse should be fed first one can
readily see that the water in flowing
through would carry with it some of the
food, and thus produce collie. A horse,
if "watered" folr times a day, will never
take much-not too much. He is fed, it
must be remembered, upon dry food, and
that with the quantity of hard work done
would produce n feverishness which a
proper amount Of water will very much
allay.-New York Ledger.
