ing the majority of the crowd. The

was an appeal for mercy, inasmuch as
he had confessed his sins ard laid him.

how he loved the people of Scott, but
his reference to the late Vice President
Richard Nj. johnson was so fresh in the
minds of the people that his reception
was rather cold.

Kentucky state college at Lexington,
was shot IN the leg while trying TO pre-.
vent difficulty between negro and a
white man named Glass. Both Nelson
and Glass are strong Breckenridge men,
and Glass, in attempting to shoot the
negro, in some way hit Nelson.

FREE BILLS REPORTED.
The Bounty Amendment Ignored
in Committee.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-For fifteen
or twenty minutes today the business of
the senate was suspended, while the
eant-at-arms was sent in search of
an actual quorum. The senate was
eighteen short of voting quorum, only
twenty-five senators having voted on a
uon-political motion, thus showing that
congress is slowly disintegrating. The
four supplemental tariff bills were all
reported from the finance committee
and sent to the calendar.
Inquiries were made as TO what had
become Of amendments offered to the
sugar bill, but Mr.. Harris said it was
not usual to report back amendments
rejected i'll committee.
Mr.. Allison (Rep., 10y said the action
ofthe senate last Saturday on Mr.. Man.
derson's amendment, when the vote was
81 TO 20 and only failed for lack of a
quorum, should be regarded as an in-
struction to the committee to report the
amendment favorably.
Mf.SCbaudler wanted to know what
became of his amendment repeating
and canceling the late tariff act. Mr..
Harris gave as his reply that lie had
been instructed to report the bill back
with all ameudmet providing for duty
of 40 per cent.
Mr., Mitchell (Rep. Or..) gave notice
that II the sugar bill was called up at
