THE LOYAL LEGION
Tribute to the Memory of General
Sherman.

NEW YORK, April AT the
Loyal Legion banquet last night
Senator Sherman responded to the
toast in honor of the memory of
General w. Il. Sherman, in an in
teresling speech of great length.
He reviewed the career of the gen.
eral from early childhood. He
spoke about the warm confidence
and affection which had always
existed between them; told how
they separated after the death of
their father and stated that at the
time when the general went to West
Point there commenced between
them correspondence which con-
tinued up to within one week of the
generals death, only interrupted
when the thread of their lives
brought them together at Washing
ton. AS to the general taking part
in the war, the senator said, as to
the motive which led him, it was
his intense patriotism. Secession
would destroy the Union, and there
fore he was opposed to secession.
This is certain that ne did not
enter the military service on ac-
count of slavery, for his sympathies
and friendships were largely with
the south. Ia q letter written i'm
the fill of 1854, congratulations his
brother upon his election as a MEM
ber of congress, he said: GAS a
young member, l hope you will not
be too forward. especially on the
question of slavery, " WhIch il seems

A CAREER OF CRIME ENDED.
Notorious Captain Hatfield Killed
Over a Game Of Poker.

LOUISA, KY, April 7.-Raftsmen
from the head of the Big Sandy
river have brought the news that
Captain Hatfield was killed a few
evenings ago in row over a game
of poker in his house among outlaws
who had solemnly vowed perpetual
friendship. In the mountains of
Logan county, w. Va, near the
secluded retreat of the notorious
"Bad AUse" Hatfield, is the house
Of Captain Hatfield, whose record
for murders in the Hatfield Mccoy
feud stands second only to that OF
bis brother Anse. A few days age
one of the Hatfield brothers, accom-.
lanied by friend named Bayson,
called on Captain Hatfield at bis
house, for the purpose Of enjoying q
social evening with game of poker
aud a jug Of "moonshine." Through
the early part Of the evening
went well, but as the night wore n
the men became crazed with liquor.
The good luck of their host led the
visitors to accuse him Of fraud. Pis-
tolls were drawn and shots were
freely exchanged. The captain fell
shot through the heart. The other
escaped unhurt. So great is the
terror which the Hatfelds have
created among their associates that
it is absolutely impossible to asceI-
tain with certainly which one Of
the brothers aided in the last muir
der, bnt "Anse's" name is con-
uected with it. No arrests have
been M tde. Captain Hatfield was
regarded as the worst member Of
the Hatfield gang, though he had
not, perhaps, killed as many people

THAYER's MOVE.
Nebraska's Supreme Court Decides
Boyd is Governor.

Boyd is Governor.
LINCOLN, April Tex Governor
Thayer's last hope of again occupy
ing the gubernatorial chair was
dashed TO pieces by decision of the
supreme court, handed down yester-
day afternoon. Thayer, in his petit
ton asking the supreme court to re-
open the case, alleged the decision
of the supreme court of the United
States didn't refer to Boyd's citizen
ship, but only TO his right to amend
his answer to Thayer's petition;
that but four (less than majority
of the justices had held that Boyd's
citizenship had been established,
aud that owing to his absense he
(rhayer) had been unable to put in
his case at the time the mandate
was filed in the state supreme court
The court, however, differs with
Thayer's attorney, aud holds that
the decision in Governor Boy DIS
case was IA majority decision, and
that his citizenship has been fully
established, and that Thayer had no
ground to contest Boyd's
right 10 the title aud office of gov
ernor. This finally disposes of the
case, Thayer did not have the
backing of the Republican party In

Election.
PROVIDENCE, April AT 12:40
this morning returns at hand are
sufficient to indicate there is no
election for state officers, with a
probability of a Republican plural
ity. Newport probably elected but
one representative, and il will have
another election to determine the
choice of the other four. 1t requires
fifty-four members of the Legislature
to elect on joint ballot, and the
Republicans have at present fifty
one, with every probability of six
more, The Providence vote went
Democratic by about 1000 majority,
but the city is in doubt.

no reasons for this action, but 1t is un
derstood that be has been offered and has
accepted responsible position with a
large railroad system. He recently made
an extended trip through the south, and
this coupled with the fact that Mr. Finley
is southern man, has led some of his

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE advisory b a d
of the Western Traffic association WAS in
session again today. One matter up for
action today was the disposition of the
charges against President Perkins of the
Burlington convicted of cutting rates.
The Missouri Pacific people who dis
charged General Traffic Manager Leeds
for similar offense a year ago, are par
ticuIarly anxious to see what will be done
with Perkins Another matter to be con-
sidered was reduction of the number of
commissioners from five TO four, on ac-
count of excepting from the jurisdiction
of the association the states of Texas and
and Arkansas, and New Mexico and Indian
territories.
At the afternoon session the following
commissioners were elected: j. d. Midg
ley, J. N. Faithron, E. p. Vining. and who
ever may be elected commissioner of the
Western Passenger association. The
resignation OF w. w. Finley, who had
that position has been received. The as
