rough, returned today from Mount
Glen ems, where he had been for his
health. He found his home closed
and after considerable trouble
broke in. He found the dead and
decomposed body of his wife on

Chairman Wilson Will Travel.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.--Chair-
man Wilson will probably take a
trip to Europe soon after Congress
adjourns. He has invitations to
take a trip up the lakes and an
other to cross the ocean and he in
clines to accepting the latter, as it
gives a greater prospect of recuper-
alton. He wants to be back before
September closes, to begin his cam
palgn in West Virginia. His
health, however, will not permit
vigorous stumping tour. Wilson,
it is said, has received no intima-
tions as to what will be done with
the tariff bill. He is confident,
however, the bill will become a
law, and he inclines to the belief it
will become effective without Pres
ident Cleveland's signature. In
this event Congress cannot adjourn
before next Tuesday.

He is Fornlnst Them.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2I.-In the
Finance committee Of the Senate
reference was made to the free lead
bill, which recently has been re-
ported to the House by the Ways
and Means committee and it was
suddenly developed that the new
member of the committee (White,)
was not in favor Of free silver and
lead ores, and as all of the Republi-
cans are of the same opinion, it has
been decided that the Senate did
not take into consideration the
lead bill. White is a Western
man from a mining state and he
sympathizes with other senator's
in their efforts to have the duty re-
tanned on this ore.
