 that he will probably be assigned
 to the Navy Department, although
 it may be necessary to place him elsewhere.
 Judge Nathan B. Golf, of West Virginia, has accepted the office of Attorney-General. He served with Mai. Mckinley in Congress for several terms, and is one of his best friends.
 Judge Joseph McKenna, who oc- cupies seat upon the distrct bench in California, has been invited into the cabinet, and will probably be made Secretary of the Interior, al- though the President-elect has re- served the privilege of transferring him to some other department. Judge McKenna is native of Phila- delphia, went to California when a boy, studied law and practiced there until he was sent to Congress. Presi- dent Harrison elevated him to the bench, and it is supposed that he is willing to exchange judicial for exc cutive honors for time, with the expectation of taking the seat of Justice Field in the United States Supreme Court when the latter con cludes to retire. These two selec- tions will enable the President. elect to make two judicial appointments in the Pacific and the Virginia circuits.

Marion Trantham was the victim, and Ennis the perpetrator. It seems that MT. Trantham had leased his farm to Mrs. Ennis, and her time was out and Mir. Trantham had demanded possession. and her son not being satisfied to turn thefarm over to the owner, took his Winchester rifle and walked up within a few yards of Mir. rrantham, took deliberate aim and fired the ball taking effect in the breast of Mir. Trantham and kill ing him instantly. Ennis has escaped and so far, no trace of him can be found.

TIE LUCKY ONES.
HAS CHOSEN FOUR
 MEMBERS OF HIS CABINET.
Sherman, Bliss, Golf and McKenna, It Is Believed, Will Be in the Official Family Allison and
 Hanna Possibilities,

WASHINGTON. D. C., Jan. 9.-From
 the best information we have in
 Washington-and several friends of
 the President -elect have arrived hereU from Cleveland and Canton
 within the last few days-Maj. Nc
 kinley has selected four members of
 his cabinet, and they have accepted invitations to join his official family. Gen. William Mckinley Osborne,
 tine cousin of the President and Sec retary of the Republican National Committee, arrived here yesterday morning with q message to Senator Sherman, asking him to accept the portfolio of State. Mr. Sherman re piled that he would like to sleep upon the matter, and confer with his wife, and suggested that it might be better for him to have a talk with Maj Mckinley before giv- ing definite answer. Gen. Osborne approved the plan, and Mr Sherman will gc to Ohio within the next few days to confer personally with Maj. Mckinley concerning the appoint ment. It is believed that he will accept, and if he does so there will
 be vacancy iu the Senate, which Mr. Mckinley hopes will be filled by the appointment of MT. Hanna, al
 though I am assured that there is no understanding, and that neither of them has ever exchanged a word
 with Gov. Bushnell on the subject.
 Gov. Bushnell has been a candi- date for tfe United States Senate for several years. That has been the summit of his political ambition, and he has been looking forward to the time when Mr. Sherman should retire from public life. If he ap- points Mr. Hanna to the vacancy he must practically abandon this ambition, because the latter would undoubtedly be able to re-elect l himself two years hence, when his term would expire by law. Some of the Ohio politicians think Gov, Bushnell can be persuaded to accept a foreign mission, and that he will designate MT. Hanna for the vacancy when MT. Sherman re- signs, but Ward Thoron, of this city, who married the daughter of Gov. Bushnell's partner, says that the Governor will not appoint MT. Hanna under any circumstances; that nothing will induce him to do so. In that event it is understood that Mir. Hanna would become Post master General in the McKinly cabinet, and immediately commence preparations for the senatorial cam paign of 1898.
 Senator-elect Foraker and Coy. Bushnell are very close personal and political friends, and it is sup posed that they will stand together in opposition to MT. Hanna. They have the political machinery of the State with them, while Mir. Hanna would have the benefit of the fed eral patronage Such a contest, however, would be deplored because of it's demoralizing effect upon the Republican party of Ohio. It would be split wide open.
