curing him another mans wife. He then
got all his gifts back from Mrs. Potts.
He Informed Attorney Matthews that he
was through with ewOmeD." But he was
so deeply infatuated with Mrs. Potts that
he again threatened her life and with ar
rest for bigamy if she did not resume rela-
tioDs with him.
He then returned the 500 to the mar
Tiage bureau and gave Mrs. Potts back her
presents.
One day Mrs. Potts was missing, and he
followed her to Nevada
Several months passed. when Mrs Potts
wrote very pathetic letter TO Attorney W.
Matthews.
She requested him to take some steps 10
rid her OF Fawcett, who was constantly
menacng her life and threatening to have
her arrested for bigamy.
In subsequent letter she said her fe
was torture. Fawcett was forever asking
her TO run away with him, and when she
refused he would threaten to expose her
crime.
The next that the attorney heard was
when Mvles Fawcett was murdered.
This great secret in their lives the Potts
stoically carried with them to an ignomini-
Gus grave.
Had they told the story OF the wifes re-
lations with Fawcett, of his threats and
opportunities, they could undoubtedly have
escaped the moose ii not all punishment for
the murder.
But they kept the secret well, and on the
gauOws they were silent. The causes which
led TO the mysterious murder might never
have been known had not an attorney IN
accidentally looking over his papers hap
pened to find the solution.

FELL TwENTY-FIyE FEET.
Charles Kilday, Plumber, A1mos
instantly Killed.

Charles Krday, Plumber, Almost
INSTANTLY Killed.
The second fatality by falling yesterday
was rendered more than usually distressing
BY its circumstances.
Charles Kilday, a young plumber, was
dashed to pieces by fall from the second
story of new house. just built on the cor
ner of Geary and Octavia streets.
The builders had reached such a stage in
the erection of the house that the plumbing
work could,be done
This was In the hands Of Samuel Ickle-
heimer & Brother of 322 Suffer street, and
they sent corps of men in TO connect the
pipes.
The work had advanced merrily and
nothing remained but TO test the perfect
conditions of the connections.
This is done by means Of hot water,
which is forced into the pipes and the latter
are then watched to see whether there is
any leakage anywhere.
One Of the men working was Charles XII
day, light-hearteG young man, who was a
great fayorte with his associates.
A line Of castiron piping running up the
outside wall required testing and tenn
porary scaffolding had been erected outside
one of the windows to enable any one to
do so.
The duty fell TO Charles Kilday.
He had watched the filling # the pipes
with hot water from a neigh boring closet,
and wbistlng to his friend, William J.
Kelly, that 20 more hot water needed to be
introduced, he sprang ont on the scaffold-
ing
In an instant there was a sound Of a body
striking in the street below.
Kelly rushed downstairs and was the fir ST
TO reach and support the fallen man.
His pulse was still beating, but the CHASTITY
crushed condition of the head told the trag-
edy at a glsnce.
The man had fallen twenty-five feet and
had pitched on his head on the indurated
ground beneath.
A patrol wagon was summoned and he
was taken to the Receiving Hospital. but
before the wagon pulled up at the door the
unfortunate man was dead.
DR.. SOmers on examination found the
skull badly fractured, with other injuries Of
a less serious character.
Charles Kilday was about 80 years Of age.
He lived at "a Erie street, having moved
there recently from Stevenson street

SOME WESTERN MAN"
The Distracted Democracy Turning to the
West for New Moses.

NEW YORK, March 2-The Herald's
Washington correspondent has prepared a
table showing the presidential preferences
of the delegates TO the Democratic national
convention. The figures arc based upon
interviews with the congressional represen-
tatives of the states in Washington The
compilation is made on a basis of 900 dele
gates III the national convention. of which
the Heralds classification is as follows:
Kill, 2S5; Cleveland, 265; some west
ern man, $50; necessary to a
choice (two-tbirds rule). 600 Mr.
Cleveland seems to be the choice of
fourteen states They are California. Con
necticut, Delaware, Maine. Massachusetts.
New Hampshire, ONO, Rhode Island.
South Dakota, Vermont. Iowa. Washing
ton, West Virginia and Wisconsin SeDa
tor Hill is said to be the choice of ten
states, namely, Colorado. Florida, Idaho,
Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, New
York, Pennsylvania. South Carolina and
Texas. Geographically, the Hill states are
as follows: Southern states. 8; middle
states, 3, and western states. > Practi-
cally, seven are Democratic and three Re
publican.
The correspondents analvZss his tahls
thus: While Hin can not count absolutely
on the electoral vote of New York nor
upon that of Pennsylvania, he can count
upon the electoral vote of far greater
number OF states whose delegations will
support him in the convention than can
The ex-president. This IS what he friends
'of the senator have been claiming. but the
figures have never before been set forth.
they show Enthusiastically that III the states
where Democratic sentiment predominates
dlll Is stronger than Cleveland Bnt
the real choice of The Democracy is shown
In the sixteen states, where the Democrats
are ior western man. These states are:
Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana. Iowa
Kansas, kentucky. Michigan. Missouri
Montana, Nebraska, Nevada. North Caro-
lima, North Dakota. Tennessee and
Wyoming six are south and ten west
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1892-03-03

| Eight are Democratic and eight Repub-
| lican. These $50 delegates standing solid
! for western man and representing over
| one-third Of the convention against the
| other two-thirds hopelessly divided, VIII
| probably have a great effect IN Shaping
| the conyention's action.
With the sentiment so strong for
! western candidate the possibilities in that
direction are worthy of note. 1t is sig
nificant that the west has SO far presented
four candidates. Boies, Palmer, Gray OF
Indiana and Don Dickinson. The strongest
of these are Boies and Palmer, with Boies
in the lead apparently Not only IS Boles
the choice of the Iowa Democrats, but he
will have the Missouri and Nebraska dele
cations at the start. 1t is evident from
the interviews that others of the western
states will naturally incline toward Boles,
not only because he IS a western man, but
on account of his free silver affiliations.
Palmer, on the other hand, has openly de-
clared against the free coinage of silver,
and the effect of this will be to greatly
neutraliZe his chances. Boies' position on
the silver question makes him available in
such southern states as believe in the free
and unlimited coinage of silver. The
favorite ticket IN the west would seem to
be Boies Of Iowa and Russell of Massa-
chuSetts.
WASHINGTON. March 2-Representative
Bryan, one of the leading western mem
bers of the ways and means committee, in
an interview today, said that the west was
unwilling to accept either Hill or Cleve-
land AS a presidential candidate. The
sentiment in favor of western man, he
said, was growing, and he was OF the
opinion that Governor Boies is the most
available candidate yet mentioned. He
had no doubt that Boles could be elected.
The indications are that Senator HllFs
trip TO the south will assume far greater
proportions than originally supposed by
its promoters. Invitations from all parts
of the south have been coming in on the
senator thick and fast ali day, and he IS
tonight confronted with considerable en-
barrassment in his desire to respond favor

WAsHINGToN, March 2.-The proceed
ings of the house today were confined
strictly to the consideration of the District
of Columbia appropriations bill. On only
one occasion did party politics find place
in the discussion, and that was when Mr..
Hemphill of the Democratic side proposed
an amendment reducing the s11. 600 or S12,-
600 salary which the recorder of deeds of
the District of Columbia receives in the
way of fees to fixed salary of $1,000 per
annum.
Mr. Buchanan of New Jersey raised the
point of order that this was legislation
that did not have for its object the reduc-
tion Of expenditures.
The chair overruled the point of order.
Mr.. Henderson of Iowa objected that
the legislation proposed had not been con-
sidered by any COMMITTEES or by the house.
Mr. Hemphill, in reply, explained that
this Office, under the fee SYSTEM was
more remunerative than any other in the
district except that of the presidency of
the L United States.
The amendment was finally adopted.
The register of deeds is Hon. B. K.
Bruce of Mississippi, formerly the colored
United States senator from that state.
The house adjourned, with the bill still
undispOsed of.

Watch and steer at sea.
It's reef and furl and haul the line,

Oh, sweetly my love sings.
Like shaft Of Eight her voice breaks forth,
My soul TO meet it springs

When stirred by angel wings.
Aye longing to list anew,
Awake and in my dream.
But never songs he sang ike this.
Sewing her long. white seam
Fair fall the lights, the harbor lights,
That brought me IN to thee,
And peace drop down on that low roof
For the sight that did see.
And the voice, my dear, that rang so clear,
All for the love of me;
For oh, for On. with brows bent low
By the candles Pickering gleam.
Her wedding gown it was she wrought,
Sewing the long, white seam.
