WHEELING W. VA, FRIDAY MORNING. DECEMBER q. 1891
SENATOR PLUMB
Laid to Rest at Emporia, kansas-A SIM
pIe Ceremony Performed.


EMPoRIA, KAs., December 24.-All
that is mortal of the late lamented
Senator of Kansas was placed beneath
his native soil to-day. 1t was typical
Kansas day, such as Preston b. PLUMP
had seen hundreds OF times In his loved
Kansas. 1t was peaceful day; sym
bolic OF the rest, which the dead Sena-
tor had never known in life. After
years OF toll for his fellow mel and his
native State, rest had come at last. III
was only the elements that were cheer
full to-day. A gloom pervaded the city
and sorrow was apparent on every face.
The flags on the public buildings were
displayed at half mast, business houses
were draped in black and on nearly
every private residence were displayed
emblems of mourning. The services OF
the day commenced with private funeral
service at the family residence at the
corner Of Sixth and Union streets. Ihey
were OF the simplest nature, such as
would have been desired by Mr.. Plumo
and in keeping with the plain tastes OF
the man.
A procession had been formed in front
of the residence to escort the funeral
car TO church.
At g o'clock the funeral services were
held at the church and at the conclu-
sion the procession reformed ana pro-
ceeded to the cemetery, where the NOR
tai remains of the distinguished Senator
were placed in their last resting place.

A HEAVY SENTENCE.

A Prisoner Sentenced TO Two Life Terms
and Two of Eight and Ten Years Re-
spectively.
LEBANON, Tenn, December 24.-The
Jury which sat in George Dunnaway's S
trial, returned this morning verdict OF
guilty of murder in the first degree
with mitigating circumstances. They
found him guilty, also, OF rape, and OF
both charges of shooting with intent to
kill. He was accordingly sentenced TO
two life terms and two terms OF eight
and ten years in the penitentiary.
The murderer heard the verdict in
differently, While the people here are
very much disgusted with the verdict,
there seems to be no danger OF mob.
1t is understood that the case will not
be carried to the Supreme Court.
One Of the prisoners attorneys re-
marked before the trial that he did not
wish to clear Dunnaway, for he would
then be tried for crimes committed in
West Virginia, where he would GER
tainly be hanged.

To Discuss the Baltimore Afair-More
COnspiracles in chile.
VALPARAISO, December 2i.-NewS
was received at Santiago yesterday that
Secretary Blaine has informed Minister
Pedro Montt that the entire Baltimore
affair will be the subject Of full and
free discussion between them at Wash
iugt0n.
For the past few days there has been
a great deal of talk about an uprising
OF the supporters OF Balmaceda, and eS-
pccially on the part of the officers OF
the dead DictatOr's army. The Govern
ment. in consequence Of these alarming
rumors, has adopted the utmost precau-
,iolS 70 prevent such an occurrence.
All visiters 20 the peniteutiary and jail
have been denied atmittance, and sew
eral prominent men, who were officials
under Balmaceda and who were releaS-
ed upon bonds, have been placed again
ia custody. II is intended to keep them
;here until after the inauguration cere-
monies on December 20.
There are also stories OF plot TO Kill
President Jorge MOntt and other lead
.ng officials OF the Junta, but any such
ATTEMPT seems certain to prove disaS-
terous 20 those who undertake II.
Everything possible has been done to
prevent the accomplishment Oh the
rumOred plot.
Congress, yesterday, after q careful
scrutiny of the recent electoral vote,
formally proclaimed Jorge Montt 70 be
Bstmaceda's successor as President OF
Chile. Ii is believed that the new Cab
met will include Ramon BarrOS LucoS
as Minister of the Interior; Francisco
Eegara. now manager OF the Bank OF
Valparaiso, as Minister of Finance, and
BlucO Viel, an able man, as Minister
li Foreign Affairs, 10 succeed Malta,
whose reply 10 the American Govern
ueutS demand for redress tn the Baltl-
more affair called forth President Har-
r.s0n'S criticism in his recent message,
as cabled here. Augustine Edwards,
The banker, and one OF the foremost
men in the Conservative party, VIII
probably retain his present post OF
Minister Of Public Works.
The proposed scheme relative 70 II
uanceS will meet with the opposition OF
almost all the ban kerS, who prefer that
their views upon the resumption OF ma
u0ual finances should prevail. 1hey
favor the gradual withdrawal by the
Government Of its notes OF issue, ana
tbe issuing by the banks Of their own
notes on a gold basis.
The story sent by the London Times
correspondent that the Chilean Congress
Intended TO adopt the jury system Is an
outcome OF the Baltimore case, Is pro-
Dounced here 70 be without foundation
as much so as other statements from the
same unreliable source. prominent
deputies OF the lower house OF Congress
say that it would De impossible TO estao-
.ish Such a chsuge at present, as the
code Of laws now in use gives entire
satisfaction 10 the Chilean nation.
The President Errazurez, the new
Chilean war ship, arrived in this haroor
yesterday.
A performance was given yesterday
N the Quinta Normal, by the French
VoIony for the benefit OF the WIDOWS
and orphans OF the soldiers killed dur
lag the late war. over s, 800 pesos were
collected.
