Governor Buchanan, of Tennessee, has not
contrived to avert grave crisis among the coal
miners in the southern part Of the State. Con-
victs have so long worked amicably in the
Southern mines side by side with freemen that
the present rising against them was altogether
a surprise. Executive shlly-shalyng however,
seems to have invited mischief The miners
are armed and stockaded against the militia,
and while ostensbly peaceful threaten to lib
crate the convicts at the first chance. The Ten
nessee coal region is wild and mountainous,
and the odds are immensely in favor Of sharp
shooters posted among the hills to pick off in
truders Only the miners forbeaIance can pre-

The numerous accidents the water recently
have led ito many acts of bravery and some eX-
bibitions of cOwardice 1t is to the credit of
human nature that in most instances men have
proved themselves self-sacrifcng and devoted in
caring for the safety of the persons intrusted to
their care. Women and children have been
bravely rescued from perilous situations, and in
some instances the life of the father or husband
s,as been sacrificed in the attempt to save those
who were dear to him The few examples of
cowardly deserton have usually been given by
ignorant or youthful persons, and men, as a rule,
have acquitted themselves well in the scenes of
danger which have been altogether too frequent

About six weeks ago Mrs. Landon was
granted a divorce in common pleas court
in this city, since which time Jandon has
made himself as obnoxious as possible. A
few DAYS ago Mrs. Landon went to the
home of her brother, j. Tombaugh, In
Louisville, to visit, thinking that she would
in this way get rid OF seeing, for few days
at least, anything OF Landon. Mr.. Tom
baugh was in the northwest part OF Louis
Vile, near the brickyard. Last evening
Tombaugh was going down to the center
of the village, when he met Landon going
toward his (Tombaugh's) house, and
thinking perhaps Landon was going to
the house for the purpose OF injury, deci-
ded to follow him.
Tombaueh's wife, Mrs. Landon and
young nephew we're seated at the table
eating supper, when Landon arrived at
the house. He went to window opening
into the dining room and Immediately
pulled out large 80 calibre revolver and
fired direct at Mrs. Landon, who was sit.
ting nearest TO the window. The bullet
crashed through the window, just grazing

ment after the shot was fired, immediate

and taking the revolver from him.
Landon was shortly afterwards arrested
by the marshal of Louisville and placed in
the village lookup.
An affidavit that had been filed before
Mayor Mccarthy WIS found TO be defec
tive and Landon was allowed to be releas-
ed, Another affidavit was filed in Squire
Reigner's court, this city, this morning
charging him with shooting with intent to
kill. Constable Weber went to Louisville
this afternoon with a warrant fon the
mans arrest. Mrs. Landon's shoulder
was only slightly injured II being cut
enough however to draw blood. The
sugar bowl perhaps saved Mrs. Tom
baugh's life as she was sitting directly OPP

certainly have struck her had IL not hit
the dish.

WANTED TO DIE.
A Prisoner In the County Jail Who was
Anxious to End His Life.

Anxious TO End His Life.
II is stated that George johnson who
was brought TO jail Thursday morning for
stealing meat from Barnes meat market
in Alliance, made an unsuccessful at
tempt to end his life on last Sabbath.
Mrs. johnson had prepared dinner and
sent her son Harry 20 the barn to call her
husband. Harry did not find him at the
barn, but while returning to the house
was Mortified to see his father in coal
shed adjusting a moose around his neck.
The boy gave the alarm and the. other
members of the family rushed TO the spot
where johnson was hanging, he having
by this time succeeded in adjusting the
moose and tying one end of the rope TO a
rafter. He was black in the face, and
would soon have choked to death had not
his little daughter loosened the rope.
Mrs. johnson had by this time secured q
knife and Johnson was cut down. He was
in an unconscious condition. After work.
ing with him all afternoon he regained
consciousness, and the first words he said,
were: " wouldn't have dsgraced you
any longer IL you had let me hang.n
A NEws-DEMoCRAT reporter called at
the Jail today and talked with Johnson re-
garding the occurrence. He disclaimed
any knowledge of the affair, but admit

was almost crazed by reason of his ex-

the time. He 10 now in very nervous

.ANIMPoRTANT BILL.
Presidential Electors to be Elected by
Congressional Districts-'-The RepubH-
cans Much Exasperated.
CPlaln Dealer Specially


COLUMBUS, March %. The Republicans
have been wrought into state of frenzy
by the simple fact of the reference of the
buchanan presidential elector bill to the
author, with leave to report at any time.
Last winter, when this bill was introduc-
ed, the Republicans boasted that il made
but little difference # the Democrats pass
ed il, as they would repeal it at the next
session of the general assembly and prior
10 the presidential election of 1892. At
that time they confidently expected to
carry the next general assembly, but the
splendid record made by the Democratic
majority has put them in great doubt and
they do not now want TO take any chances,
in fact a number of the members on the
minority side have but little hope of Sc
curing majority IN either the house or
the senate TO be elected in November. 1t
is not certain that the Democrats will de-
eide to pass the bill, which provides for
the election of presidential electors by
congressional districts instead of on a
ticket at large, but If this course should be
followed in Ohio il is not improbable that
Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan may de-
termine to enact similar law. In the
three latter states the legislatures hold
over until after the presidential election,
and any law placed upon the statute books
10y them would stand. No one questions
the legalityo the proposed changein the
manner of selecting the electors, but all
admit it would have wonderful influence
on the presidential situation. 1t would
transfer from New York to the west of the
Allegheny mountains the presidential piv-
ot, and strip the Empire state Of its import
ance in the approaching national contest.
With the certainty of securing a divided
electoral college in Illinois, Wisconsin and
Michigan there would be but little ques-
ton as to the result, and 1t is generally be-
lieved that, IL Ohio leads off by the pass
aua oft ba Puchanan hill the nthar atataa
will soon wheel into line. In this event
and the certainty OF Democratic success,
New York would be sure state for the
Democracy, and ii might and probably
would result in the nomination of either a
presidential or vice presidential candidate
from some of the western states.
These facts are exceedingly exasperat-
ing to the Republicans, and has led them
to denounce the proposition in the Bit
terest terms.

EASTER WEDDINGS

Especial Correspondence 80 News-Democrat.)
"My own my loyel forever baud I'm hand,
We walk together over life's rough way.
Into the after world still side by side;
All through the warm h and sunlight flove's day.
Two. but this morning, on, this afternoon,
See loveI the roses doze above the bay,
Look IN my eyes, and let me read therein
The truth and glory OF our wedding day"
New YORK, Mar. 28.
Society's song during the next two
weeks will probably be, "Hail TO the
bridel" for as usual, the leading events
among the spriuQ gaieties are the we'd
dings which follow so closely upon the
Joyous Easter festival. These are always
SO numerous that IL would seem as though
young Cupid had gotten in some OF his
finest work during the gray Lenten days,
or that Hymen had chosen the Easter hol-
idays for his own especial season. Perhaps
IL is because during the rush of the winter
season the "primrose path" looks less in
viting. and it is only during the weeks
that follow Ash Wednesday that our maid
ems incline TO walk the rein, Or IL may be
that the Faster crop of weddings is due
solely to the opportunity which Lent af-
foris for getting together the all.impor-
tant purple and fine linen, without which
a bride would be shorn OF half her glory.
Al all events, whatever the cause, IL Is
certain that hardly any period of the year
is so full Of the scent of orange blossoms
and the merry clash of wedding bells as
the weeks Immediately following the most
joyful day in the church calendar. And
as this season Is now close at hand, the
most appropriate subject for our weekly
illustration is the bridal costume.
