SEDALIA, Mo-, March 7.-Evidence
continues to accumulate against John
Davis, the negro ccal-miner from Lewis,
as the party who assaulted Mrs. Charles
i. Taylor in this city, the 23d Of Feb

Five or six hours later he called ut the
residence Of Maria Wilson, an old col
ored woman, who lives about two miles
northwest Of Clinton, or 40 miles south
of Sedalia. When he left he said he was
going TO Sedalia. He Wore side whiskers
and monstache at that time, but when
he returned to Clinton, after tile assault,
lie was shaved clean and his hair was
cropped short.
Davis is a bully and gambler, and
boasts of many crimes almost as hciuous
as the one he is wanted for. Sheriff
Smith received word from Detective
Kinney, yesterday, in regard to the case,

publication beyond the statement that
DAVIS is not yet in custody.

outside the House, For instance, Bland,
with all his ardor in demanding free
ccolHage, is not in favor of putting
1fee.silyer plank in the National Demo-
cratic platform. f1e says that the ma
tlonal convention should not go farther
than to declare in favor of RENTING the
whole silver question to the Congress
sional districts; that it is not q party
question, but one that should be decided
by vote of the people in the Congress
slonal districts in the choice of members
OF Congress. Mr.. Bland holds that the
tate of silver is not properly to be de-
termlned by the executive, and that the
national platform upon which the Pres
idential ticket is run need not commit
the party nor its candidates to either
side of this question.
Democratic members of Congress from
the south and west assert that they arc
bound 10 vote for free coinage in order
70 properly represent the opinions of
their constituents. They say their con-
sttuents are almost unanimously in
Iavor OF free coinage, believing it will
afford them relief from the financial
stringency now felt. As to the political
effect that might follow the passage of a
free-silyer bill by the House, Democratic
members say:
we are confident from the assurance
given is that the Senate will pass n
free-silyer bill If we send ii to that body"
That would offset any political detri-
ment to the Democratic party caused by
the House passing such a bill. The Re-
publican Senate, on the estimation of
the east, would be equally culpable
with a Democratic House. 1t is not
doubted that the President would veto II
silver bill, but by such an act he would
lose support in the west. Many Demo-
Gratis who would as matter Of party
policy gladly postpone the silver cues
ton believe that the free coinage senti-
IN the House is too strong to be resisted
and that the wise policy is to get the
troublesome question out of the way as
soon as possible.
Their theory is that the House should
dispose of the silver bill, and from that
ON keep the tariff to the front. BY this
means they believe that all friction
caused by the passage Of silver bill
would be forgotten in general Demo-
cratic onslaught upon the tariff, and
that, as result, the Democracy would
not suffer in the Presidential campaign.

SIDE BY SIDE IN DEATH.
Mangled Bodies of Two Unfortunat,
Discovered on the Rail.


While the crew of shifting engine
were passing the Sixth avenue crossing
in the west yard on Saturday evening
the bodies of two men lying along the
T., w. e. Il. railroad tracks attracted
their attention and led them to make an
investigation. The men had evidently
been killed by passing train and were
trightfully mangled. They had been
struck in the back and head and in
SANITY killed. Besides broken back
each had leg and arm broken and the
skull OF one of them was crushed. No
one saw the accident and consequently
no one could tell the coroner how the
affair happened on Saturday night. The
bleeding bodies were removed to the
morgue by the coroner.
One Of the men was 80 years of age
and was well-dressed. Letters on his
person indicated that he was John
Keller of No. 1873 Sehermerhorn street,
Brooklyn, N. u There were no marks
upon the companion of Keller by which
he could be identified.

that she did not possess money enough
to take the remains to Brooklyn for

The companion of Keller has not vet
been identified at the morgue. Both
were killed at the west yard on Satur
day hight. A singular incident in con
nection with the accident is that when
the men were found neither Of them
wore any shoes. One of the men previ

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
OF Miss Lillian Grey, Formerly Telegraph
Operator mt Newark

Miss Lillian Grey, the popular tele-
graph and telephone managerfor quite a
number of years at Newark, Del, has
apparently mysteriously disappeared.
Last fall she resigned her position al
Newark and accepted position with
the Western Union Telegraph Company
at Chicago, with the hope that the
change would benefit her health, which
had been very poor for a year previous
to her leaving Newark.
Several months ago her father was
taken very sick and telegram was
forwarded to her address, advising hei
OF her parents serious illness. No re-
Spouse was received and week or two
ago at the death of her parent, another
dispatch was sent, apprising her of the
same and requesting her to leave for
home immediately, saying that the body
would not be inferred until she arrived.
Receiving no reply to this telegram
either, her friends, supposing she had
started for her home, the remains were
Kept as long as possible, awaiting her
arrival.
As no word had been received from
her since about the holidays and she
did not come home to attend the funeral
Of her father, her friends became
alarmed and began investigations. In
reply to telegram sent to her boarding
house in Chicago her friends have been
advised that she left there the morning
of February 9th and has not returned
and that she had given no intimation to
them of where she was going or how
long she would be away.
Mr.. Charles Steele, who succeeded
Miss Grey at Newark, telegraphed the
Western Union officials at Chicago fol
information of her whereabouts, FRIDAY
morning. The reply to this telegram
startled her friends more than ever as ii
informed them that Miss Grey had not
been working there and that they did
not know her That She was in Chicago
is known, only by letters dated and
postmarked from that city. The police
authorities will be communicated with
in the hope of learning the cause of hei
disappearance and her whereabouts.

Soon after being stricken he relapsed

MAHER ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
The Defeated Pugiiist Tries to Jurnl

| The Defeated Pugiiist Tries to Juinp
From n Moving Traiu--Suved by Fitz-
simmons.
CHARLOTTE, N. c., March Gas the
vestibule limited came into town last
night from the south it was rife with
| excitement. Ten miles from this city
Peter Maher, the Irish champion, who,
with Fit2simmons and q party of 10,
was on board, attempted suicide by try
ing to jump out Of a car window while
the train was at full speed.
The party had the sta'eroom and sew
eralotherseats engaged. Fitzsimmons and
his friends were chatting and smoking
and not taking any special notice of
| Mailer who sat in u seat by himself
| When about 10 miles from Charlotte
Maher raised the window next to which
he was sitting and leaned out. AS he
had been suffering from his recent pun
melting, those who noticed the action
| thought he simply wanted little fresh
air and gave little thought to it,
Some minutes after Maher sprang
| from his seat and made a-rush for lie
| open window. In an instant BitZsm-
mons OWNED his intention and made d
bound towards him, catching him when
| half way out the window. Others of
the party rushed TO The rescue and with
difficulty succeeded in preventing
Rlaher from throwing himself from the
train.
AN oPIATE ADMINISTERED.
When he was taken into tic state
room and the windows securely fastened
the party's physician took HMM charge,
and, unconsciously to him, administered
an opate which produced sleep in few
minutes.
When tho train arrived in Charlotte
the passengers We're grouped here and
there in the train discussing the matter.
Many stood by the state-room door,
where the defeated champion lay sleep
ing, and watched his heavy Inspirations.
t'ilzsimmons was sitting in chair in
his Shirt sleeves smoking cigar.
Fitzsimmons SAID Maher had been
very respondent since his defeat. lie
was badly hurt, his CORNER" looking
like a slaughter pen. Blood flowed
from his mouth for some time after the
fight, almost choking him al times.
Although weakened by the loss of so
much blood, desperation made him
strong, and Fitzsimmons had all nc
could do to hold him and prevent him
succeeding in his attempt to jump from
the train window.
DETERMINED no END MS LIFE.
Shortly before Mahor's attempt to
jump through the car window he, with
two of the party, were standing on the
steps of the car. Mahcr was at this
time very dcspondcnt, and in conversu-
ticn with the two gentlemen he init
mated that il was his intention to end
his life as soon as possible, or at least as
soon as an opportunity presented itself
Both Of his companions assured him
that that was not the way 20 feel; that
the fight in New Orleans was fair one,
and that he was outmatchcd, but that
he had made game fight, and there
was nothing for him to feel respondent
over. Mahcr, however, did not take
this view of the case, and reiterated
what he had just spoken contemplating
suicide.

An Appleton Sensation.

A rather sensational and overwrought ar
ticle appeared in Boston Sunday paper re-
lating to an incident which took place in Ar
pleton last week. 1t is claimed that young
man named Weed left his home for hunt
ing expedition in the woods. HIS family
consisted of rrepossessing wife about sew
enteen years of age. A violent storm COM
ing on Weed unexpectedly returned, reach
ing his home in the night. When he went
in he is reported to have found his wife and
Ex-senator Stephen j. Gllshee in conpro-
missing situation. AS Gushee retreated Weed
fired his gun, wounding Mr.. Gushee IN the
leg.
County Attorney Prescott and Sheriff Gray,
who Went to Appleton to arrest Weed, have
returned to Rockland. They report G,lshee
as being more comfortable and likely to re-
cover unless hlood-poisoning supervenes. In
case of his recovery he will probably not APP
pear against Weed, who did the shooting.
Weed has removed, with his wife, Temporal
rily, to neighboring town. He is under
surveillance and will be arrested at once,
should dangerous symptoms appear. 1t ar-
pears that Weed suspected the intimacy and
laid a trap for Gushee.
