A contemporary says that Col Haskins
is slightly deaf and therefore ought not to
be chosen speaker of the house. But why
did Whitingham elect the healer Newell a
member, if not to look after just such
cases as this? A trivial difficulty like this
ought not to count against the colonel.

Col. Kittredge Haskins of Brattleboro

its largest majority on any representative

Vermont is not the end where Brattleboro
is located. Waterbury Record. This

Mr.. Morgan Gives "a Spirited Revival of the
Cuban Question-Two More Democrats
Unseated.
Washington, June 5.-Mr. Morgan
gave the Senate spirited revival of the
Cuban question to-day, after which
most OF the day was spent in waiting for
conference agreements on appr0pria
ton bills. Mr. Morgan urged the adop-
tion of his resolution calling on the
President for information of the Amer
leans taken on the Competitor and now
under sentence OF death at Havana The
Senator asserted that the Presidents
lnaction was violation OF law Mr.
Morgan declared that Congress could
not adjourn without authorizing the
President to send war ships TO Cuba to
demand the release of the American
prisoners. On the suggestion of Mr..
sherman, chairman of the committee
on foreign relations, the Senate went
in secret session, where. after a further
argument by Mr. Morgan, his resolution
was placed on the calendar. a parlia-
mentary move equivalent to postponing
action. After brief period of fllibus-
tering, the immigration bill was made
the unfinished business of the Senate.
although the debate on it was not begun.
The question of electing Senator's by
the people was discussed by Senators
Perkins, Chandler, Palmer and Haw,ey.
Mr.. Palmer took occasion TO sayagely
denounce machine rule in politics. par
tlcularly in his own State of Illinois,
and TO express his opposition and def
ance of the machine"
Washington, June 5.-The House to-
day unseated two more Democrats. Mr..
Lockhart, from the Seventh North Car
olina district, and Mr.. Downing. from
the Sixteenth Illinois district, and seat
ed in place of the former Mr. Martin. a
Pcpulist, who had been endorsed by the
Republicans, and in place OF the latter.
Mr. Rinaker, Republican. Mr.. Down
ing was the only Democrat from Illinois.
A good deal Of partisan feeling was
aroused to-day among the Democrats
by the ruling Of Mr.. Payne (Rep., n. "
who was temporarily in the chair, and
on one or two occasions there was a
mild reminder of the turbulent scenes
of the Fifty-frst Congress. The Dem
ocrats left the hall in an effort to break
quorum, but Mr.. Payne declined to
recognize the point of no quorum or TO
entertain the appeal from his decision.
Mr.. Grosvenor's resolution calling on
the President and the cabinet ministers
for complete list OF the removals from
office since March Sd, 1893, was adopted.
Owing to the pressure of members for
the passage of bills of local importance
TO them and the refusal OF Mr.. KEN to
consent to this character of legislation.
a special order was adopted making to-
morrow an individual suspension day.

Yesterday afternoon between four

ly heavy rain in the Vicinity Of Mounds
vile, and east Of thai town, up the val
ley of Little Grave creek, it was still
heavier, the downpour being so great
few miles up the creek as to be al
most worthy of the name cloudburs..
In a very few minutes the creek was
bank full and the water had spread over
the adjacent low-lands to a consider
able extent, carrying with i, large
amount Of drift.
Misses Ella Cox and Ella Waring
were out in a two horse carriage with
two children, enjoying drive, when
the storm broke. While the carriage
was near the creek the rush OF water
from above surrounded it suddenly,
and so deeply as TO come into the
vehicle The horses Aoundered about
for a time, but soon a considerable
amount of drift lodged against them
and the carriage, and for time il
looked as though the four occupants Of
the vehicle as we'll as the horses would
be drowned and swept away. Forum
ately, the peril of the ladies and chill
dren was observed by Messrs. J. NJ.
Sullivan and William Boyle, two oil
men, and they plunged into the water
up to their shoulders, and at no little
personal risk succeeded in getting the
horses and vehicle to place of safety.

made that the increase in the paper

TO THE END,
Joseph Windrath Kept Up His Sham
ing, and Not Till the Moose Was
Strangling Him Did He Cease His
IncOherent Cries.

Chicago, June 5.-Manacled, but
struggling feebly with his guards, and
with incoherent cries ringing from his
lips, Joseph Windrath was executed
this afternoon in the county Jail.
Even to the last second Winrath
feigned insanity. AS the steel brace
lets were snapped on his wrists he
kept UP continued cry Of Hang lip
MannOw," Hang up Mannow, "
Hang" Hang" Then he changed to,
Il will sleep bye and bye" AS the rope
was placed around his neck his eyes
glared again, and he commenced shout
ing this time: Put the straps onr'
"Lenox, open the bad box" the cries
coming chokingly as the jailor tight
ended the moose. Not until the drop fell
and the rope tightened for the last time
around Windrath's neck were the awful
cries stilled. The condemned showed
great vitality, and it was fourteen min
utes later before his heart stopped
beating. Death was caused by stran-
gulation.
Windrath was executed for the rob-
berry and murder of Carey B. Birch,
money receiver at the Armitage avenue
station of the West Chicago Street Rail
way Company. Birch's murderers
were masked. but Wirdrath and julius
Mannow, an ex-convict, were arrested
for the offense.
Mannow turned States evidence.
WindTath. whose behavior in court and
in jail was wildly eccentric, was sem
tapcod m ha bouOod b,t ot tho mo
ment fixed for his execution a respite
of three weeks was granted pending in
vestigation as to his sanity. A jury
found that he had been shamming.
Windrath was born in Germany, and
is said to have long criminal record
there.
