TRAGEDY IN KENTUCKY.
Horrible Vengeance Inflicted Upon a
Wife and Her ParamOur.
A Mob Sets Fire to the Home of the
Woman, Burning Her Alive, and
Shoots to Death the Man.

LEBANON (Ky), Dec. pa mob
inflicted horrible vengeance on faith
less woman and her paramour last
night when they burned Mrs. T. j. West
alive and killed w. A. Dever, her para
mour, at Mrs. Vests house on Cart
wrights Greek, on the Springfield Pike,
three miles north of this city.
The mob is said to have numbered
about seventy-five and it was about y
o'clock when they appeared at Mrs.
Vests house. Mrs. West, Dever and
his little daughter were the only per-
sons in the house, and when the mob
called to Dever to come out, Mrs. West
and the little girl responded, but Dever
remained inside. Just as Mrs. West
reached the door several shots were
fred at her, and she ran back into the
house. but the child remained on the
outside.
The mob then fired several shots into
the house, none of which took effect and
after several attempts to get Dever to
come out, the mob fired the house. The
heat forced DeVer to run out, and with
pistol in hand he started to a corn field
a few steps from the house. where he
took shelter behind corn shock and
was Shot to death.
Mrs. West perished in the burning
house, and this morning her remains
were found in the chimney where she
had taken refuge. Her legs and the
upper portion of the body were almost
entirely burned off.
The little girl gave the alarm this
morning, but only meagre information
can be gained from her.
w. A. Dever is the man who shot and
killed T. ]. West, husband of the burned
woman, at Beaver Green, on Cart
wrights Greek, three weeks ago. Dever
had a preliminary hearing, and was re-
leased on the ground of self-defense.
The killing is thought to have been
caused by intimacy on the part of
Dever and Vests wife. After Dever
was released he was charged with liv-
ing with the woman as her husband.
1t is said that Dever had been warned
that he would be killed if he did not
leave He is from Knoxville, and leaves
a wife and several children. Mrs West
also leaves a large family, but none was
at the house at the time of the horrible
tragedy.
The Coroner's jury has SO far failed
to return a verdict.
It was December 7th when Dever
killed West The latter and his wife
had been living apart for some time,
and his wife had instituted divorce pro-
ceedings. She had been induced to with
draw the suit however, and West was
on his way to town to see about the
matter when he saw Dever. He snap
ped a pistol twice at Dever, after ac-
cusing him of adultery with Mrs. West,
when Dever drew his revolver, and, de-
spite Vests plea for mercy, shot and
killed him and ran away, but returned
when the Coroner's jury returned ver-
dict of justif1able homicide, and re-
newed his relations with Mrs. West.
This melted the neighbors to fury, and
last nights horrible work was the re-
suit.

He said: st would not be surprised if
Chief Justice Fuller were rendered
place on the commission. He and the
President are warm friends, and Mr..
Cleveland appointed him Chief Justice
in 1855. The Chief Justice would make
an excellent man for the place, but al
though he is wiry and is capable of do
ing an immense amount of work, / do
not think he would accept the position.
"As to General Harrison, I do not
think that he would accept a position
on the commission. He can probably
make more money out of his law prac-
tice and not do such hard work. And,
then, although / do not know, he may
be a candidate
Would the fact that he held a place
on this commission seriously interfere
with his candidacy, in your opinion?"
was asked
1T would not help him any," replied
Justice Brewer. IF he were a candi
date he would most probably want to
be where the politicians gather, and
he would not have the time to do this
if he sat on the commission"
Continuing, Judge Brewer said:
Speaker Reed is now on trial, as it
were. He has a position that is diff
cult one to fill, and the next four months
will make or break him. Mckinley will
enter the convention with the most
votes, but do not think either he or
Morton will be able to control it. In
that case they will compromise upon
some man acceptable to both, and 1t
would not surprise me if that man were

NO DANGER OF WAR.
Michael Davitt Talks About the Vene-
ZueIan Controversy.

Zuelan Controversy.
CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-Michael Davitt,
the Irish Nationalist and member of
Parliament from South Mayo and East
Kerry, was among the guests registered
at the Palmer House yesterday. He has
been touring Australia, and came to
Chicago from San Francisco. He is now
on his way home, and expects to be in
his seat when Parliament assemblies.
When asked about the position of the
Irish on the Venezuelan controversy,
he said he did not think there was the
slightest possibility of any actual con-
hict between the United States and
Great Britain on that question. He
said:
Lord Salisbury is known in Great
Britain and Ireland as bully, whose
policy, when he has been at the head of
the Government, has been to try to in
timidate little nations and powers
throughout the world. He has been
able to do this with impunity hereto
fore, but now he finds that behind little
Venezuela stands America, and he will
discover that he will not be allowed to
carry on the same policy toward this
SrlaI state IN SOuIH America tnaC ne
and other English statesmen have car
ried out toward weak peoples and small
Governments in other parts of the
world
For myself, I can only repeat that
am glad that such a stand has been
taken by the United States It was
about time, and the upshot of it will be
that the reasonable demand by the
President, to have the whole trouble
submitted to arbitration, will be ac-
cepted by England, and then the seat
of the operations will be transferred
from the newspapers to diplomacy. l
believe war is so far away that it is
outside the realm of probability, be-
cause, after all, look at it in this light:
The commercial relations between this
country and Great Britain are so enor-
nous that the people of the United
States on the one hand, and of Great
Britain on the other, would practically
he insane if they jeopardized these
trade relations on account of a small
affair like this in VeneZuela-a little
10000 square miles of worthless coun-
try. This is particularly plain when it
is taken into consideration that the
President of the United States makes so
favorable a proposition as to have the
whole matter submitted to arbitration" j"

Reorganization Of the Senate Committees
to be Effected To-day.
Vote to be Taken to Show the Strength
of the Dominant Parties
Lodge VIII Also Address the Upper
House on the Resolution Relating
to the Monroe Doctrine-A Recess
VIII Probably Then be Taken Until
After New Year'S-The Programme
in the House One of Idleness.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The reor-
ganization of the committees of the
Senate upon which the steering COM
mittees of both old parties have been
working for the past three weeks will
be effected tomorrow by the passage
of a resolution, to be introduced by
Mitchell Chairman of the Republican
committee.
In violation of precedents for a num-
Der of years past, yea and nay vote
will be taken upon the adoption of the
resolution. The Democrats say they in
tend to show to the country that the
Republicans have more votes in the
Senate than the Democrats, and there
fore are entitled to take control, but
there is a suspicion that the Democrats
hope by this vote to be able to show
that deal has been made by the Re-
publicans with the Populists. The Re-
publicans meet this argument with the
statement that they have permitted the
POpulists to remain just where they
were under a Democratic administra-
tion of the Senate, and the charge of a
deal no more applies now than it would
as against the Democrats when they as
sumed control.
The reorganization will not go into
effect practically until after Wednes-
day, for the present employees, commit
tee clerks, etc, have already been paid
their salaries for the month of Decem-
Der.
Beside the reorganization resolution,
an address by Lodge (Rep.) of Massa-
chusetts is on the programme for Mon
day, on the resolution now on the table
relating to the enforcement of the Mon
roe doctrine. Lodge. who is an ardent
advocate of the strict enforcement of
that doctrine, will, doubtless, make a
strong speech, and command the atten
tion Of the Senate. 1t is understood he
will go deeply into this subject, and re-
view the historical matters out of which
it grew, and the cases in which it has
been applied by this Government.
1t is probable that the Senate will in
dulge after to-morrow's session in
three-day recess until the holiday sea-
son is over. The new tariff bill is now
before the Finance Committee, and
meeting of that body has been called
for Tuesday. While there will be no
undue delay in reporting the bill back
to the Senate, it is not probable that the
report will be made before the end of
next week.
The programme for the House is one
of idleness. Under The working of the
agreement announced Saturday by
Dingley Chairman Of the Committee on
Ways and Means, the House will be
called to order Tuesday, to adjourn un-
til Friday, when the operation will be
repeated, adjournment being taken that
day until Monday, January 9th, at
which time consideration Of business
will be resumed.
The Appropriations and Elections
Committees expect to do some work in
their rooms during the week for the
furtherance of matters committed to
them.

up by Monday noon, and 80 was put
up as a forfeit. Monday noon came

to $50 that Low would carry the
Fourth; but Mr.. Rohman declined to
bet.
