BOONE SHOT AT HIS WIFE.
But Her Sister Received the Bullet
and a Lynching May Ensue

A special from jackson, KY, dated
may 18th says Walter Boone, of Mt
Sterling, shot at his wife there Thurs
day morning. The ball missed her and
passed through door and took effect
in the body of Mrs. Henry Hurst, his
sister-in-law, just below the shoulder.
His wife has been there several days
visiting her sister Mrs. j. B. Mar
cum.
Boone called at Marcum's residence
stating that he wanted to see his little
child, who is very sick but his wife
would not let him come in alone, and
asked j. p. Gillum, who was with,
Boone to come into the house with
him, TO which Gillum consented.
They were only in the room short
time when Boone fired the shot. He
then attempted to escape and get to
the river, which is about 200 yards
from the residence of Marcum, but
was overtakeA and captured. There
is great deal of excitement there
about the matter. If Mrs Hurst dies
there will probably be session of
af Judge Lynch's Court.

Washington, d. q, May 81.

Washington, ID. O., May Il.
Men and brethren, hear We all 1!
This administration is going to be
Democratic, in fact as well as in name.
The overwhelming verdict of the peo-
pie is to be obeyed, and no Republican
is to be left in place of responsibility.
The pace towards this goal has not
been precipitatc, but 1t has been and
will be steady and sure until it is
reached. Secretary Gresham took the
lead, and there isn't moro than one or
two Republican left in important po-
sitions in the State Department. Sec
rotary Carlisle is good second, and
it will not be long before all of the
chiefs of divisions of the Treasury
Department will be Democratic. Sec
rotary Smith has begun to call for the
resignation of the Republican chiefs
of divisions In the Interior Depart
ment and he proposes to keep it up
sntil they are all out. Secretary
Morton has not been behind in pro-
portion to the size of his Department.
Postmaster General Bissell has had
to devote SO much time to the selec-
ton of Postmasters that he hasn't
made very many changes in his De-
partment, but he will, as will Attor-
ney General Olney and Secretaries
Lamont and Herbert.
Judge Lochren believes he will kill
one of the principal roots of the pen
sions evil by making the Medical
Boards which examine applicants for
pensions entirely Democratic, instead
of allowing one Republican on each
board of three as has been done.
Speaking of his change he is quoted
as saying; Zone of the things the
Democrats have committed them
selves to do is 10 sift as far as possible
the rubbish which has been drifting
into this pension cesspool. The party
has committed itself to reform in this
matter, and there is not better way to
make start than by having only
Democrats on these boards" I do
not state it as a fact that President
Cleveland has approved this action of
Judge Lochren, but it is hardly proba-
BILE that such radical change would
have been announced by him unless
it had been previously approved by
the President.
Much more or less silly talk has
been INDUCED in this week about the
probability Of war with China
because of the Supreme Court having
declared the Geary law constitutional.
Needless to say neither the President
nor Secretary Gresham have the re-
hottest idea that there will be any
serious trouble with China. The
Chinese minister told Secretary Ores
ham that his government would not
take an retaliatory steps, and that it
would, as far as possible, protect

CHURCHES
Are Rapidly Becoming Swell Club
Houses.

CHAUTAUQUA, n. Y, 16.-TOpics of
a sociological order are being discussed
here this week. The attitude IF
the workingmen towards the church,"
was the subject of an address this alter
noon by Thomas j. Morgan.
a we'll known labor leader of Chicago.
The address provoked a great amour
of discussion. When lie had con-
Guided his presentation a preacher arose
and declared that the address of Mr..
Morgan was one of the most unfair
and the facts stated most unfounded he
had ever heard. This assertion was
followed with misses from all over the
audience, and the Over-ZealouS preacher
sat down i'll confusion. Another
preacher went to crate, %whereupon Vice
chancellor Vincent arose kand said
that Mr.. Morgan had the right to assert
his convictions. and il any one did not
agree they had the option to disagree,
oul they Il not make any such dis
plays of themselves. Mr.. Morgan then
declared that the attitude of the
preachers on the present occasion &C
counted largely for the attitude of the
W~Orklngmen toward the churches. The
attitude OF the church toward the work
lnSInen observed no credit. ne clergy,
on the whole, had never given any
words of comfort, hut had always OPP
posed labor movements.
'LaborerS asked that the worlds fair
be open OH Sunday. and almost every
preacher III the land rose up and spoke
against it. The church is human, not
divine"
The laboring man has no fight against
religion. he said. but against some of its
e~Xpounders. The ministers are wage
%earners, and are paid to preach the Cos
pei of the pew owners When they
say what they think they lose
their JOB, The churches are becoming
simply club houses where may be found
wei. fed and we'll clothed members. Ir
you cant help us, then get out Of the
way. What we do is on a moral basis,
and we should be encouraged, not
a~ntagonized. There is not a depth of
poverty i'll the Old World that is
hot reached here.
He said the average earnings is s1.02
per day, and he further claimed the UNI
fortunate condition of laboring men is
not due to liquor drinking, but to the
social condition..
