ton, eighteen miles from this city on the
Louisville and Nashville railway, shot
and probably fatally wounded Thomas
Murphy, and then stabbed his wife to

This opportunity came this evening,
when Murphy was passing Gourdins
house on horseback. Gourdin was sit
ting on the porch. and when Murphy
came up Gourdin drew reovlver and
comm encec firing, wounhing Murphy in
several places. Mrs. Gourdin rushed out

20 away. but she refused to do SO. and
he then hit her several times with the
butt of the revolver. driving her back
into the house. where he seized kniIe
and stabbed her eleven times, killing her
instantly. The dead woman leaves four
children, ranging in age from l to l5
years. Gourdin was placed ill jail at La

"While Senator Elkins was in Morgan
town | asked him what he had to say
about the sundry reports concerning his

much annoyed py the persistent efforts to
make it appear that he is engaging in a
Harriso boom.
- 1t is positively untrue, said Senator
Elkins, that | have declared for General
Harrison or that | am trying to bring
about his nomination. l do not know
that he is a man above all others to NOM
mate. This convention is year off and
many things may hapen within a year.
'All this talk about men is premature.
When the time comes the Republican
party will find the man and nominate.
You man say without reserve that | am

sartment report on the preliminary
German' government has s,,,,'. -. na

ting to the reich stag a preliminary law
which provides that until July /, 1899,
the rate OF export bounty now in force
snail continue. Under the sugar law of
1891 the rates would have been reduced
after August L. 1895, and after August l,
1897 the export bo nntv was to have been
discontinued. G ermanv, he says. now has
a lower bounty than anv other competing

suicidal.
The country is now in deporable state
and nothing will save it from serious
loss unless growth and unnatural extern

The preliminary law continuing the

THEY SHOCKED THE BRITISH
Low Cut Jerseys Worn by Cornell
Oarsmen Criticized
The College Boys Indignant over STRUCTURES
Published in Fieid-Sore at Press
Agent Also

LONDON, June 16.-The Cornell oars
m en- at Henley and their friends are very
indignant over criticism of their cos
tune which appears IN Field, and which
seems to reflect upon their modesty.
The article begins by saying they ap-
pear in sleeveless jerseys, cut very low,
adding that they will do well to abandon
these garments Immediately, as they can
not be worn at the regatta under the rules
and are considered unsightly in this
country.
Cornell style of rowing IS tqurte opposIur
to what is considered correct by English
authorities and shows no improvement
upon that of previous crews from America.
Referring to Wednesdays spin with the
Henley rowing club scratch crew, Field
says the Cornell men did not acquit
themselves well and went all to pieces at
one time and became very ragged.
What the Cornell men object to is tnat
the writer of the article WAS introduced
to them by a representative of the United
Press and was shown every courtesy. He
knew all the circumstances under which
the spin with the Henley crew was ar
ranged. As he was rowing with scratch
crew, Coach Courtney purposely, to even
things up put four substitutes in the
Cornell boat and they had no difficulty in
getting away with their opponents. They
did not go to pieces.
The matter Jf the jerseys was also ex-
planned to the Field man. AL have worn
regular Henley jerseys throughout their
practice period, except two. who are
having theirs refitted. English opinion
at Henley increases against the chances
OF the Cornell men. Their stroke is un-
favorably commented upon on all sides.
