HOW ABOUT THIS?
JUDGE BOWER THE ssSOUND MON.
EY,, CANDIDATE.
Second District Politics Discussed Away
From Home. Col. Guyte McLendOn
Talking Through His Hat

in Savannah.
From the Albany Herald.
Hon. Guyte McLendon, OF Thomas
vile. who spends but little ofihis> time at
home and evidently knows but little
about the sentiment of the people of the
second congressional district on the cur
rency question has, been stalking
through his hat'' to reporter of the Sa-
vannah News. He is quoted as predic t.
ing, for instance, that the second district
will elect "sound money" man, which,
being interpreted, means d goldbug, 70
congress.
But we find some things in the follow
ing from the local columns of the Savan-
nah News which are suggestive. Mr..
McLend on is himself goldbug, and he
clearly intimates that Judge Bower is, or
will be, the goldbug candidate. We
quo'e as follows from the News:
Hon. S. G. McLendon, of Thomasville,
is in the city. Mr.. LcLendon always
keeps an eye on things political and es-
pecally down in the seconl COMPRESSION
al district, but when seen he was not in
clined to discuss politics.
II will say this, however," Mr.. McLen-
don said, 81 think the secondwIll elect a
sound money candidate. So far as /
can see there is little doubt that it is a
sound money district. 1t is too early
yet however, to say anything about the
race or the candidates"
Mr.. McLendon is consid favorable
to Judge B. B. Bowers candidacy for
congress, but that he would not discuss.
Judge Bowers resignation as judge of
that circuit takes leffect to-day, and he
will be succeeded by Hon. w. N. Spence,
the solicitor general. Hon. w. E. Woot-
en- succeeds Judge Spence as solicitor
general.
Judge Bower will probably announce
hts candidacy within very short time
after his resignation goes into effect
He will probably be the sound money
candidate of the second, as it is known
be stands on a sound money platform
and the cambridge Democrat, his home
paper, viii CHI is controlled by Congress
man Ben Russell, is supporting him OF
| that basis.
The only announced candidates in thu
second so far are Hon. Jim Griggs, judge
of the Pataula .circuit, and Hon Jess
| Walters, of Albany, both of whom are
running squarelY on free silver plat
form, and the only fighting the distric
| has had so far has been between them
Hon. j. l.. Hand, of Pelham, is talked o
as probability, and Hon. w. NJ. Ham
mond's name has also been mentioned il
connection with the race. Everything
looks, however, as if Judge Bower vii
be the only sound money candidate t.
go before the convention, and it is con
sidered that he will 60 there with th
odds strongly in his favor.

The Ashburn Advance Comes Over to the
Terrell statesm an.
There is no doubt that Judge Griggs
and his cause are growing among the
people of the second district.
The AshbLrn Advance, a sound mon
ely paper which has heretofore been
neutral between the candidates, Inow rec
ognizes Judge Griggs' worth and abli-
ty, and in its last issue came out strong
ly for the Terrell gentleman. The Ad-
vance says;
"The Advance will support Jim Griggs
for congress because it believes he is the
best nan in the race for the place.
''He is quick to make up his mind.
And is firm in his opinion.

DIRECT NEGOTIATIONS.
Britain and United States Resume
Discussion Of the Venezue-
Ian Matter.

Washington, D. c., March 20.-No de-
NAL is made in official circles here of the
fact that direct negotiations with Great
Britain respecting the Venezuelan bound
airy dispute have been resumed by our
state department at the point where they
were left by the exchange of notes of
Secretary Olney and Lord Salisbury of
last July and last November respectively.
Lord Salisbury had the last word. ac-
cording to the published correspondence,
and the sending of the special message
to Congress by President Cleveland had
the effect of delaying a response to Lord
Saliburys note but did not relieve our
state department of certainty that once
such an agreement is reached as to the
limitation of the arbitration, the re-
mainder of the task of arbitrating khe
title to disputed tracts or of adjusting
the matter by direct negotiation. while
perhaps involving the consumption of
much time. will not present particular
difficulty or threaten to cause discord.

MILWAUKEE TRAGEDY
Mother-in- Law Killed and Wifs
Fatally Wounded.
Awful Crime Of John Holzingor Domes.
: tic Troubles the Cause,

Milwaukee. Wis, March 21.--John
Holzinger's family troubles were ended
last night by an awful crime. He shot
and killed his aged mother-in-law, Mrs.
Catherine Miller, and fatally wounded
his young wife as she sought to escape
from his murderous rage.
Holzinger is a laborer. 26 years Of age.
His father was a wealthy man, but the
estate he left his sons was soon squan-
dered. Five years ago HolZinger mar
ried Annie Miller. A daughter was
born to them and she was 4 years old
few days ago. Holzinger and his wife
did not live happily, and two months
ago she began proceedings for divorce.
He left his home and took up his abode
at the California house, u cheap lodg-
ing place.
Just before O'clock last night Efol-
Finger went to his former home at 1888
Barclay street. He found the kitchen
doors locked. When he raped for adj
mittance they were not opened. This
enraged him. and kicking down the
doors, he pulled a big revolver from his
pocket.
His wife and her mother, together
with Miss Catherine Engbring, aged IA
years. niece of Mrs. HolZinger, and
the 4-year-old child were in the kitchen.
When the doors gave way before Hol-
fingers powerful blows they ran screaE,-
ing toward the front part of the house.
Mrs. Miller, who is 60 years of age, ran
into a bedroom. Holzinger followed the
terrified old woman and sent bullet
through her heart. She fell dead by the
side of Holzinger's little daughter.
Mrs. Holzinger had by this time sue
ceeded in getting out of the house
through the front door, but she tripped
and fell hcadlong upon the steps. While
she was lying PROSTATE her husband fired
bullet into her back. which penetrated
the left lung. The murderer passed by
Miss Engbring as she crouched low with
fear in the hallway.
Leaving his little daughter crying by
the side of her dead grandmother, Holz-
niger fled from the scene of his bloody
deeds. NeighborS were attracted by the
report of the shots and they carried Mrs.
Holzinger INFO the house. Later she
was removed 70 the emergency hospital.
where the physicians said her life could
not be spared. \ crowd pursued Holz-
niger down along the tracks of the ST.
Paul railroad, but he frightened them
away by pointing his revolver at them.
When the police were notified they went
to the California house, where they
found Holzinger, and took him to the
south side police station.
He appears unconcerned and says his
wife and his mother-in-law had attacked
him with knives. The police do not be-
lieve his story, as no knives were found
near where the women were living.
