SENATOR BARBoUR's SUCCESSOR
At Least Thirty Men Who Would Gladly
Go to Washington.

RICHMOND, VA, May III Special J.
Governor McKinney's intention in refer
ence to appointing successor to Senator
Barbour is a matter of much speculation
here. 1t is asserted here that he remained
over in Washington with view of consult
ing national Democrats, and that the only
three names he heard suggested there areJ ohn
Randolph Tucker, Fitzhugh Lee and John
Goode. In Virginia there are no less than
80 gentlemen named, and in more than one
instance they are not known outside their
own counties Mr.. Thomas S. Martin is
among the younger men the most
urgently named, his hacker being
Senator Daniel. Martin is from Albemarle,
and is lawyer of much ability. 1t is con-
ceded that Senator Daniel owes his election
to Martin, who organized his forces for him
and enabled him to beat Barbour, although
the latter had just conducted winning cam
paign against Malone.
Fitzhugh Lee also has a strong organiza-
tion. Among other names mentioned are
several of Governor McKinney's personal
friends. The main objection urged against
Mr.. Tucker is that he is too near Daniels
district Holmes Conrad, of Winchester, is
regarded as strong dark horse. If the
Governor should fail to make the appoint
ment before the meeting of the State Con-
vention Thursday, it is not unlikely that
an attempt will be made to get that body to
indorse one of the candidates

NEWSY NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS

ASHLAND, PA, May 17.-[Special j
last night caused by two shots fired in quick
succession and the report coming from the
house of John Klotch. The neighbors
hastened in the direction and upon entering
the house found Klotch standing in room
on the second foor his hands still grasping
smoking revolver A glance was sufii-
cient to know what had taken place, on the
bed lay the form of Mrs. Kloseh and Po-
lander named Anthony Jenkinski writhing
in pain and the blood flowing from wounds
in their bodies.
Klotch is respectable Polander, and
was employed as a waIchman at the Mid
Valley colliery. For some time past he
has had suspicion of the unfaithfuIness of
his wife, and he determined to keep a close
watch until he had ample proof to verify
his suspicious before he took any action.
Last night he left the colliery at 10 o'clock,
four hours earlier than usual. and upon
reaching his home he entered very carefully
SO as not to arose any of the occupants.
He had not proceeded far when he noticed
strange hat lying on table in the dining
room. He went to trunk, and, arming
himself with revolver, he -crept noise
lessly to his wife's room, where his sus-
picions were confirmed.
Both pleaded for mercy, but Klotch
turned deaf ear, and, covering his wife
with the revolver, he fired. Jenkinski
attempted to escape, but Klotch threw him
back and sent ball into his body. There
is no hope for the recovery of Mrs. Klotch,
but the physicians attending Jenkinski
think they can bring him out ali right.
klotch gave himself up and is now being
held to await the result of his victims in
Juries. He has the sympathy of the whole
community, and an effort is being made to
have him released on bail. All parties inn
plicated in the affray are prominent men,
bers of the Polish Church.
