A Lively Wedding Dance.

n
On Wednesday last Mr.. Charles
Herwig was married to Mrs. Eliza
beth Spencer, at the residence of
Mrs. Weems, in this city, by JUS
tice Rachal. They left for their
home on Thursday, which is near
Pollock, in Grant parish, on the
HI. c., A. & n. r. r., and while
here, engaged the colored band of
Alexandria. On Thursday night
grand dance was given in their
honor at the residence of Burke
Thompson, two miles from Pollock
The dance was largely attended.
Everything passed off quietly
until l a. m., Friday morning,
when shooting match commenc-
ed, which resulted in Jack Corley
and Burke Thompson being shot
by Joe Talbot. From what Town
Talk can learn, Joe Talbot was in
toxicated, and used very unbecom-
ing language in the dancing room.
He was requested to get out but,
refused, and opened fire with a re-
volver, shooting the two men nam
ed above. Jack Corley was shot
through the left side Of the abdo-
men, and it is thought will die.
DR.. Waddell is attending him. Cor
ley has been clerking for Jos. Spot
ten, at Pollock. Burke Thompson
was shot through the right leg.
His wound is painful but not dam
gerous.
After the shooting Talbot escap-
ed, and could not be found. If the
people could have cotton their
hands on him he might have been
lynched. He is about 27 years of
age, and is the same man who sew
eral years ago, SO cruelty shot an
old man named Arlington, by call
ing him out of his house and shoot
ing him down like a dog. He is a
bad, dangerous man, and the citi-
zens of Grant parish will never
have a prosperous, good country
until such offenders are punished
as they deserve by the strong arm
of the law. We learn that Talbot
has never been tried for shooting
Mr.. Arlington, man over 70 years
of age. Town Talk, July 30.
Talbot is under bond for shoot
ing Mr.. Arlington, and would have
been tried long since if a Rapides
Judge had given Grant parish a
term of court. If Town Talk don't
think we punish criminals up this
way, just prevail on some of the
''bad" men of Rapides to secure a
change of venue to Grant. One of
them tried it, and we notice no
others have since desired to take
the chance of fixing ''a Grant par
ish jury. With the further cor
rection that the brides name was
Spence, and not Spencer, and that
Joe Talbot did not do the shooting,
but it was done by other parties,
the above is nearly a true report
of the fracas.

Without entering into a defense of Min

has been an entire change in the public
feeling toward him in this country since
the settlement of the diplomatic tangleS.
His attitude seems better understood
now, and his services in protecting many
prominent members OF the Congressional
party from the vengeance of the late die
tator, and IN granting asylum to refugees
who sought the American Legation after
the downfall of Balinaceda, are now gem
orally recognized as both humane and
proper.

ten to thirty refugees, representing one
or the other faction of this country, We're

tirely at the expense OF Minister Egan.

who sought his protection, whether Con-
gressionalists or BalInacedists. He ex-
pended nearly a years salary in behalf
of the refugees whom he kept in the
legation. The public appears to be get
ting better acquainted with these facts.
and this accounts for the reyulson of
feeling in regard to Minister Egan's re-
call.
Eduardo Matte, President of the Cham
ber of Deputies, and many others whose
lives were saved by Minister Egan during
Balmaceda's dictatorship, favor his reten-
ton here as American Minister. Augustin

saved through Egan's influence, is the
only prominent member of the old Con-

Lord Salisbury Addresses a Large

LONDON, Feb. 2.-Lord Salisbury to-
day spoke at Exeter, where he was met
with an ovation from the Devonshire
Conservatives. He criticised the Liberal
programme as obscure, indefinite, and
full of empty promises. The Radicals
were especially ready to assure the voters
that they could obtain measures at the
expense of their neighborhood and tho
eighth commandment. The Liberals an
peared TO rely on the creation of parish
councils as means to improve the con-
dition of the laborer, by adding interest
to the village. The evil arising from
multiplied local bodies was overlooked
by the advocates of parish councils.
He commented on Chamberlain'S old
age insurance measure and said that he
was hopeful that this scheme would
remedy the distress prevailing among
the working classes. II wot;ld be effect
i've, however, only when carried out Oh
sound business principles. Another
remedy of relieving distress was the
creation of small rural holdings, which.
the Government trusted, would confer
great advantage by relieving the suffer

ever, remained the burning question OF

10 Democratic Caucus to be Held
This Week on the Subject.
ITS CONSIDERATION TEMPORARILY
ABANDONED.
The Majority of the House Committee
on PostofTices and Postroads Have
Authorized a Favorable Report on
the Bill Repeating the Mail SUBJ
sidy Act Passed at the Last Session
of Congress.
Special to the RrcoRp-uNrox.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The Democratic
caucus, which was to have been called
for Friday evening next to consider the
silver question, has been abandoned for
the present at least. Harter of Ohio, who
was the leading spirit in circulating the
call, said to-day: 81 decided not to push
the caucus, for the reason that Demo-
cratic opinion is changing very rapidly,
not only upon the wisdom of passing
silver bill, but upon the merits of the
question. While last Thursday nine out
Of ten would have predicted that a free
silver bill would pass the House, to-day
I venture the opinion that no bill provid-
ing free and unlimited coinage of silver
will pass this session. The most earnest
of the free silver people recognize the
fact that a free silver plank in the
platform would break the party in
two, and that we would have to say
good-by to the New England States,
TO the Middle States, and such States
as Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa and Mlchl-
gan. The leading German papers in the
country have served notice on us that the
German vote will leave US in body on
that issue, and go to the Republicans. We
expect to sweep the whole country II the
light is made on the tariff issue, but it
will be hard to gather seventy-tive men
in the House who would go upon record
Us believing that Democrat can be
elected President in 1892 upon platform
which would give the citizens of Colorado
one hundred cents worth of property or
the services of everybody else in the land
for what the issue proposed to cost them
less than 148 cents"
Bland, in an interview later, said in
part: ''Harter has ascertained to his
satisfaction that the Democratic party
cannot be bulldozed by the national
bankers or money power of this country.
instead Of there being change against
The free coinage bill the changes are all
The other way. The party says now that
x we don't pass a fee coinage bill we
will be stultifying ourselves and our
record in the last Congress. This House
will pass a free coinage bill, and the
country can rest assured of il. If the
Democrats again act the part Of duplicity
on this question and permit the Repub-
licans to again step in front of them
they will lose not only the Presidency
but beyond all question, the House OF
Representatives"
The Senate Committee on Finance to-
lay decided that next Tuesday the Stew
art free coinage bill will be reported to
The Senate. There is little doubt as to the
nature of the report, for the discussion
this morning showed two Democratic
Senators would probably join with the
Republican majority in recommending
adverse action upon the bill.
