MURDERER SHOT BY a MOB
HE HAD JUST KILLED HIS AGED
FATHER-IN-LAW.
And Was on His Way to The Home of
His Divorced Wife to
Kill Her.

New Port, N. Y, Jan. S.-Robert
Clapsaddle, q farmer of Ransornville.
a small town about ten miles from
here, was fatally shot to-day by his
son-in-law, George III. Smith, who was
pursued by posse of villagers, was
captured, and when he made resistance
filled with bullets, causing his death.
One of the pursuers also was shot.
Farmer Clapsaddle lived mile
south of the village with his wife,
daughter and grand child, twelve
years old, the son of the murderer.
Smith was a dissolute character, who
spent what money he could for whisky
He had married the eldest daughter of
Clapsaddle and she had separated from
him on account of his dissipation, and
Smith had always blamed his father
in-law for the estrangement. This
afternoon Smith came into Clapsaddle's
store, where the old man sat reading
his paper, and without warning, or
provocation, drew a revolver and shot
him through the head.
A posse was formed with a deputy
sheriff at the head, to hunt down the
murderer. Smith had fled across the
country diagonally toward the home
of his wife's second husband, and prob
ably with the intention of committing
another crime. He was armed with a
revolver and had his pockets filed with
cartridges. The posse was composed
of over half hundred reputable men
and neighbors of the murdered man.
When Smith saw the posse in pursuit
he made for the house of a man named
Brown, and as he entered the door he
turned, and brandishing the revolver,
cried: "The first man who follows me
in here / viii shoot!"
Undaunted, the posse closed in
around the house, when Brown, COM
ing to the door, told them that Smith
was in his room in one of the closets.
Thereupon Elmer Clapsaddle, rela-
tive of the murdered man, cried to
Smith to come out and surrender
Smith responded with n bullet which
entered Clapsaddle's wrist. This
aroused the crowd and they poured the
contents of their guns through the
walls of the house at short range.
There was a sound of falling body,
which showed the shots had taken eff
feet. Smith was found to be fatally
injured, bleeding from a dozen
wounds.

HOUSE RULES DISCUSSED.
Currency Committee Dropped From
Privileged Committee List.

Washington, Jan. 10.-The House
gave it's time to-day to discussions of
the proposed amendments of the rules
Of the 51st Congress, which were pro-
yisionally adopted early in the session
to govern this House.
Two interesting discussions relieved
the monotony of the technical debate.
One was preciptated by Mr.. Walker, of
Massachusetts, chairman of the Com
mittee on Banking and Currency, who
made fight against the proposition
to drop the Committee on Banking
and Currency from the list of commit
tees privileged to report bills to the
House at any time. A partisan debate
resulted in which Mr.. Walker was
supported by the Democrats and a Re
publican contingent, which included
many free silver men. The last Con-
gress had added the committees on
Banking and Currency and one on COIN
age. Weights and Measures to the priv
ileged list, but the Committee on
Rules decided not to allow the list OF
the 5fst Congress which did not in
clude them.
Mr.. Walker failed to carry his point,
the vote resulting 112 TO 16O against
his amendment.
Mr.. Hepburn, of Iowa, inspired the
second discussion by an amendment to
compel the Speaker to recognize the
members who first rose when no other
member was on the floor, and spoke
against the growing power given by
the rules to the Speaker. He withdrew
his proposition, however, after a speech
bv Mr.. Bell, of Colorado, who claimed
that il would secure for the Populists
the recognition of which, he claimed,
they were deprived.
Th discussion of the rules was not
finished when the House adjourned
until tomorrow.

A Conspiracy to Surrender The
City Discovered.
MANY PERSONS ARRESTED
The Disaffection at the Capital
Widespread.
ABOUT 800 PERSONS IN PRISON
An important Expedition for The Relief
of the insurgents Lands on
the Northern Coast Of
Pinar Del Rio.

Havana, Jan. l0.-The lull which
seemed to have taken place in the ac-
tivities of the insurgents in the mast
few days have given place once more
to an unexpected dash on the part
of Maximo Gomez into the heart of
the rich tobacco growing district of
Pinar del Rio. Claims have been
made for several days past on the part
OF the authorities that the time was
fast approaching when the insurgents
were to pay the penalty for their temer-
ity and the Spanish were to close upon
them as trap and annihilate them.
The sympathizers with the insur-
gents have themselves not been free
from keen anxiety at the persistent
stand the leaders were making on the
Northern coast of Pinar del Rio and
almost up to the outskirts OF Havana
itself, while the continued activity of
the Spanish generals was disposing
about them force of troops that seem
ed likely to hem them in and cut them
off.
The news cabled last evening that
Gomez had passed Alquisar and Guira
Melena in Havana province was re-
ceived with relief by the friends of
the insurgents, though the direction
he had taken beyond that was not
known, but it was generally supposed
that he was bent upon retreating into
the eastern provinces, glad to escape
the trap set for him. It is now evi-
dent that he was merely making a pre-
tense at retreat to mislead his enemy,
and meantime he has once more coun-
termarched, like fox doubling up on
its own track, and tonight he has near
ly his whole effective force in the to-
bacco district in the southern part of
Pinar del Rio, ready to visit destruc-
tion upon the tobacco corps, as it has
already been widely visited upon the
sugar crop.
When the news of this movement was
received, troops were hurriedly
despatched from here to Baya Honda
by sea to reinforce the garrison at
that important seaport town. There
are distinct Iumors here that an i'm
portant expedition for the relief ii
the insurgents has been landed upon
the northern coast of Pinar del Rio.
The boldness of the insurgents in
remaining upon this coast in face of
danger of being cut off, has been attri-
buted to their expectation of the land
ing of the expedition.
The authorities have discovered
evidence of what they consider con-
spiracy to cause an uprising in Havana,
and to hand the city over to the insur-
gents. The conspiracy is believed to
be widely ramified, and it's discovery
has caused grave uneasiness in Havana
and suspicious that disaffectation is
much more widely disseminated than
has been admitted. Thirty persons
have been arrested for completely in
the plot, and 500 have been imprisond,
while Equilina Soleno, police inspector
for the post of Havana, has been re-
lieved from dut

TO RECOGNIZE THE cUsANs.
A Resolution introduced in the House
by MIR. Willis.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Congressman
Willis, of Delaware, has taken up the
cause of the Cuban insurgents and to-
day endeavored to secure the consider
alton of a resolution by the House. 1t
was sobjected to before ithad been read,
however, and will go to the Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs.
The resolution recites that: THE
Cuban patriots moved by the instincts
of liberty and chatting under the OPP
pressiye rule of Spain, have, for the
greater part of a year, waged heroic
and successful war against that gov
ernment," and that 1.-The abuses of
nearly four centuries under which that
brave people have suffered, appeal in
special manner to the United States,
as the chief exponent of popular gov
ernment in the world;" that "a fur
ther continuance of the struggle be-
tween the contending parties can only
result in needless loss of life and
destruction of property, as well as the
multiplication and prolongation of
shocking and barbaric cruelties;" that
"our commercial interests with Cuba
have already been greatly impaired
and are liable to be wholly destroy
ed" and that "we as n nation are un-
der no obligation either upon the
basis of treaty rights or the rules of
national comfy to longer withhold
our recognition Of the Cuban belliger-
ency."
In conclusion the resolution requests
the President to take such steps as
will result in the speedy recognition OF
the belligerents.

THE VENEZUELAN COMMISSION

Washington. Jan. 10.--The Nenezue-

the Diplomatic room Of the State De

ton for business so far as possible at

GUS candidates for the Office OF Secre-

Office OF Secretary are Mr. VIM. T.. Cur

INFANTIClDE AT BEAUFORT,
A SEQUEL TO THE GRAVEYARD
INSURANCE CASES.
Newly Married Couple Spending Their
Honeymoon in Carteret
County Jail.

Beaufort, n. c., Jan. 10.-(Special)- -
Yesterday the little city of Beaufort
was stirred with excitement by the
finding, by two boys, of dead infant
in the river Suspicion pointed to
Sam Williams, one of the defendants
in the recent Insurance trials. Sam,
who was widower until a few days
since, brought home his blushing
bride on last Tuesday, and but q day
or two after, Bessie, Sans oldest child
bv his first wife, whom the Insurance
companies accused Sam of getting
rid Of, in order to secure the insur-
ance money on her life, reported that
baby had made it's appearance in the
happy home of the newly welded eou-
pie Friends who hastened to congratu-
the fortunate pair were met with
positive denial of the birth OF the
child Notwithstanding the fact that
Sam had informed Mrs. Russell, the
midwife to whom he had gone, that his
wife was sick.
When the baby was found, there
fore, suspicion at once pointed 10 VIII
liams' home. and parties who went
thither to investigate found Bessie
with bruised face which she said her
father had given her for telling that
there was a baby about the house. She
also stated that she had been violent
" beaten by him for telling it.
4 coroner's jury had been setting
upon the case all day and late last night
they brought in verdict that the in
fant was born at the Williams house
of the body of Annie, Sans wife, and
that the post mortem, held by Drs.
Clark and Davis, revealed the fact that
it was alive when born and that 1T
came to its death either by violence
or neglect at the hands of the afore-
said Sam Williams or his wife, and re-
commended that both be committed
to iaiI to await action of the next term
of Carteret county court, whcreupon
the coroner ordered Williams 10 jail
and put guard over the fair young
bride of two days until she should get
well enough to be moved to the prison,
and so the young couple will spend
their honeymoon together in dun
geon with the awful cloud of approach
ing fate casting its shadow across their
lives.

Washington, Jan. 10.-The debate
on the Senate free coinage substitute
for the House bond bill was opened
to-day by Senator Jones, of Arkansas,
in a two-hour's speech which was fol-
lowed with close attention by Sena-
tors on both sides of the chamber. Mr..
Jones took strong ground in favor of
the free and independent coinage Of
silver contending that it was the only
method by which the distress in the
country could be alleviated and the
Treasury department relieved from
its present dependence upon the spec
ulative holders of gold There was no
reply to Mr.. Jones' argument to-day,
but the debate will be resumed when
the Senate meets again on Monday
Mr.. Pritchard (Rep., n. CD called up
the amendments he had offered to the
revenue bill, to increase the duties on
certain kinds of clays, marble, iron ore,
timber, live stock, cereals, fruits, wool
and coal, for the purpose of address,
ing the Senate thereon. He favored
the re-enactment of the Mckinley law.
and free coinage of silver. He denounc-
ed the Southern Democrats for their
recreancy to their own section. Their
tariff law had brought unexampled
recreancy to their own section. The

ago one of them (Mr. Butler) had de-
nounced the Democratic party for be-
ing false to it's pledges of tariff re-
form. To-day the other end of the
combination told the Senate that he
favored the re-enactment of the Me-
Kinley law.

public and expressing the hope that
with the example set by the Trans
vaal republic, the republic Of Libe-
ria and the colonies of the republic
of France and all of South Africa
would eventually come under the sway
of Republican institutions.

poned for Some Time.
Washington, Jan. 10.-The members
of the Senate Finance Committee
seem undecided as to the position of
the revenue tariff bill. Senator Sher-
man to-day expressed the opinion that
the committee would be authorized
to report the bin without further
meeting, but other Republican mem
bers of the committee say that such is
not their understanding and the
Democrats also say they have not
agreed that report should be made.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, also told
other Senators that he was still dis
posed to insist upon duty on sugar.
if he maintains that position it APP
pears probable that the report may be
postponed for some time. Senator AL
lison, of the committee, left for his
home to-day, to be absent ten days
and Senator Aldrich is also absent.

Cough, the Dannemara prisoner, who
alleges that it was he and not Bat
Shea who shot Robert Ross at the
Troy election riot in 1894, is in COM

THE SUBSTITUTE WILL PASS.
The Silver Senators Claim Majority
of Three.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Some OF the
Republican silver Senators held con-
ference after the adjournment to-day
to canvass the chances of passing the
silver substitute for the House bond
bin through the Senate. They went
over the list very carefully, compar-
ing notes on Senator'S considered
doubtful, and reached the conclusion
that the substitute would win by ma
iority of about three votes. They also
considered the alternative OF postpon-
ing action until after the Senators
from Utah shall arrive, but concluded
that in view of the facts developed at
the meeting the postponement would
not be necessary.
