A DOUBLE MURDER.
A Clay County, Mo-, Widow and Her
Daughter Shot in Bed.
PLACE ALSO RANSACKED.
An Organization of vIgilantes Is Formed
in the NelshborhOod to Ferret out
tho Murderer and Excite
ment Runs High.

LIBERTY, No., Nov 1a-When Will
liam Foley, son of Mrs John Foley, an
aged widow, who lived six miles north
of here, near Little Shoal church, re-
turned to his mothers house last night
about nine O'clock. after taking his
sister, Amelia, to the home of James
Morrow, he found that his mother and
sister, Fanny, aged SO, had been shot
dead while alone in the house and
that the place had been partly robbed.
He at once gave a general alarm and
neighbors summoned Sheriff Hymer,
Coroner Sewer and others from here
to the scene of the tragedy.
In one of the bedrooms were the
bodies of the murdered mother and
daughter just as discovered and not
yet cold in death. Both were robed in
night clothes, which were saturated
with blood. The mothers corpse lay
upon the floor resting on the left side
and with her arms thrown up about
her face and head, The upper part Of
the daughters body was sustained by
death grasp on the foot of the bed in
the room and she had to all appear
ances pleaded with her murderer to
spare her life,
About $50 was taken from the foot
Of the bed upon which the women had
been sleeping. The dresser drawers in
the room where the bodies were found
had been ransaeked, but small cotton
bag containing quite u sum of money
was overlooked by the murderer, while
gold watch in another drawer had
not been touched. A horse belonging
on the place was found some distance
from the house and the supposition is
that the murderer had used it In escap-
ing.
Coroner Sewer, upon his arrival,
carefully surveyed the surroundings
and ordered Sheriff Hymer and Deputy
Cave to summon jury. At two o'clock
this morning the inquest was adjourned
until to-day. The officers and others
are doing everything in their power to
ferret out the murderer, and other
agencies are at work on the case, and
should they succeed in capturing the
wretch lynching is certain. Some sus-
picions are entertained and will DO
thoroughly examined into by the Off
GERS and others interested, but as yet
there is nothing sufficiently clear to
furnish tangible clew. An organiza-
ton of vigilantes has been formed in
the neighborhood to assist in ferreting
out the murderer and furnishing him.
Three years ago horse was stolen
from Mrs Foley and man named
Hoover was convicted and sent to the
penitentiary. His term recently ex-
pired and it is said that he was seen
twice in the neighborhood recently. A
close search is being made for him.
An indignation meeting of citizens
was called this afternoon and hundreds
of dollars subscribed TO hunt down the

TROUBLE LIKELY.
Silver Senator'S May Hang Up cleVe-
lands Sound Money Nominees.
A MONEY REFORM CONGRESS
The indianapolis Board of Trade Wants a
Conference with Other Boards on the
Financial Question Congress Of
Liberal Religious Societies.

WASHINGTON, Nov 1s.-A retaliation
policy by the free silver senator's may
make trouble for some of the sound
money democratic appointments Presi
dent Cleveland is making. All Of the
recess appointments, which include
those of ex-Gov. Francis for secretary
of the interior and ex-Congressmar
Forman for commissioner Of internal
revenue, must 20 before the senate foI
confirmation. The free silver senators
democrats, populists and republicans
have a majority. 1t is in their power
to hang up all nominations. Free
silver leaders are to meet in confer
ence the week before congress con-
venes and this matter Of the confrma-
tion of President Cleyeland's sound
money appointees win be considered.
The most serious phase of this question
of confirmation relates to the judge
ships. The president has now two
judgeships to fill. These judgeships
are for life. If the president sends
nominations for them TO the senate
and combinations do not follow the
nominations lapse with the 3D. Of
March, and the new president will
have the places to ELL.
For a Monetary Reform Congress.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov 1s.-Presi-
dent j. C. Adams, of the board OF
trade, has called special meeting OF
the governing committee of that body
for this evening to consider the ques-
tion of calling general conference of
boards of trade in the states of the
central west for the purpose of dis
cussing the question of monetary re-
form. This conference will probably
be called with view to holding a ma.
tional convention Of boards Of trade
for the purpose of discussing the ques-
ton and making such recommends
tions to congress as may seem fit
Along this line a general meeting of
business men has been called for this
evening by the officers of the CONNER

A Kansas City Attorney Preparing Bin to
Present to the Legislature.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov is. - The de-
cision of the supreme court of Illinois,
in which the Torrens law for the trans
fer of real estate was declared uncon-
stitntional in that state, has interfered
with plans in Kansas City by which it
was hoped the system would be made
part Of the laws of Missouri
Attorney II. L. McCune has prob
ably given the subject more at
tention than any other person
in Kansas City, as he was en-
ployed last winter by the Commercial
club to draft bill to be introd need in
the Missouri legislature this winter.
Attorney McCune says that while the
Illinois decision has left many vital
points in doubt, yet he will proceed TO
frame measure something after the
plan Of the Illinois law, and it's passage
will be urged at the coming session.

The Democratic Defeat FOreseep-ReOr-
ganizatlOn Now Not Advisable.
WASHINGTON, Nov. IS. In a letter
to political friend since election, SEN
ator Hill, of New York, declares that
he saw that the democratic party was
foredoomed to defeat on the Chicago
platform, which he could not bring
himself to actively or openly support.
Such being the case, nothing was left
for him to do but remain absolutely
silent and inactive. To the. sugges-
ton, made in the letter which drew
the response from Senator Hill, that
active steps be at once taken to re-
organize the democratic party ION his
toric lines" the reply was made that
such course would at present be inn
polite, that no immediate necessity
for reorganization was evident, and
that delay was advisable to give time
and opportunity to allay the Fancor-
Gus feelings, jealousies and discords
which the recent conflict had aroused.
