WANTED THE MAYOR.
Believed She Would Have Told Him
Something Had He Listened.

On the night following the arrest of
Mrs. Hamilton she sent for Mayor
Glendinning. saying that she wanted to
see him at the city hall at II p. m The
messenger who carried the news to the
mayor informed him she wanted to
make a confession. The mayor con-
suited with the city attorney about it
and he decided that 1t would be best
for Glendinning to have nothing to do
with the case at all, and if she at
tempted to make a confession to him.
to refuse to take it. In the meantime
she was sent home TO her fathers
house, and not wishing to break his
word-for the mayor had half way
agreed to meet her-he walked down
there and was there for little time.

Theorv OF tha Prosecution.

The county attorney has theory
which he explained to Herald man
yesterday. 1t is that the first shot did
not kill Hamilton, but the last. He
concludes there was q struggle in the
yard and that Hamilton grasDed his
wife by the wrist. This would leave
her hands free to move as they wished
and she kept turning it and firing until
at last the bullet struck him in the
vital point and killed him instantly.
Mr. Van Colt illustrated his idea yes
terday and the theory seems a plausi-
BILE one to say the least.

LOOKS LIKE DEBOE.
Kentucky's Struggle, However, iWll
Not Be Over For Several DAYS.

Frankfort, KY. April 2i.-More interest
than ever was manifested IN the legisla-
ture by the public today in consequence
of the possibility of a senator being
elected, TIE steering committee dis
covered in the early forenoon that many
Republicans were absent on pairs. Their
failure to return prevented q quorum.
Nevertheless the temper of the legisla-
ture was tested by a ballot showing &C
for Deboe out of 60 present, exclusive of
the gold and silver Democrats more of
whom answered at roll call Deboe
really received g. votes, but one was from
a paired Republican and could not be
counted.
The Republicans did not conceal the
fact that they are greatly disappointed
at today's failure to elect the nominee
They are very secretive about their
further intentions, but tonight ii is
known that 10 pressing attempt TO elect
Deboe VIII be made till next Wednes-
day. as some of the pairs now out 90 not

MISS Goss SUMMONED.
She Will Have a Chance to Tell
What She Saw Last Monday.

Miss Goss, the young lady who is al
legged to have seen the affair after the
first shot, was served with a summons
TO appear before Justice Wenger to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock. 1t will
be remembered that The Herald yes
terday announced exclusively that she
had related she saw the affair from
the time the first shot was fired until
Mrs Hamilton went in the house. The
police caught on soon after reading the
paper. and took the clue and had a
summons issued. 1t was gathered at
the station last evening that the state
ment made in The Herald concerning
what she would testify 10 had been
confirmed in almost every detail. and
that Miss Goss would tell her tale as

The family of Mrs. Hamilton is not
feeling well toward Seldom and yes
terday when her father met Seldom he
would scarcely speak to him. 1t was
noted, too, that other members of the
family were very cool in their deport-
ment and it may be inferred that his
action in making a statement is re-
garded by them very unfavorably.

THE PIONEER JUBILEE.
COMMISSION HELD A LONG
MEETING LAST NIGHT.
CONSERVATION Created by the Report
of the Senate Committee on APP
preparations, Amending the Pend
ing Bill-Contest of the Plains.

The Pioneer Jubilee Commission held
a very long session last evening, but
most of the time was devoted TO dis
cussing the subjects that are as yet in
a formative state and of which nothing
can be said at, this time.
Ben Haywood, the well-known cattle
man, was present and outlined a plan
for a great contest of the plains, which
he believes would attract here 100 of
the best riders in the world. They
would give an exhibition roping wild
cattle, with all sorts of novelties in the
way of riding. The matter was taken
under Amusement
The announcement of the chair of
the report of the senate committee on
appropriations as to the amendments
made to the bill pending for the jubilee
simply created CONSERVATION among
the commissioners, who made no dis
cussion of the matter at all for publ
cation. This amendment would require
celebrations at Ogden and Provo to be
given by the commission as part of the
jubilee and to be met out Of the appro-
priation. What can be done in the mat
ter remains to be seen.

Talking in Their Sleep.

You think 1 am dead
The apple tree said.
Because l haze never a leaf to show.
Because I stood
And my branches droop,
And the dull gray MOSES over me grow
But I'm alive in trunk and shoot;
The buds of next May
l fold away.
But 1 pity the withered grass at my
root
''You think 1 am dead
The quick grass said,
Because have parted with stem and
bladeI
But under the ground
[ am safe and sound.
With the SHOWS thick blanket over me
laid.
I'm alive and ready to shoot.
Should the spring of the year
Come dancing here;
But 1 pity the flower without branch or
rooti'
'.You think L am dead
A soft voice said.
Because not a branch or root own?

But close / hide
In plump seed that the wind has sown.
Patient l wait through the long winter
hours;
You will see me again
I shall laugh at you then.

Campaign in Cavite.

New York, March 10.-A special cable
dispatch TO the Herald from Manila
says:
Reports to hand state that General
Lachambre has been forced to with
draw his troops from the campaign
against Salitran, in order to protect a
convoy, which was attacked by large
force of rebels. The Spaniards lost 300
killed and wounded.
The result of the campaign in Cavite
so far, is that the Spaniards have taken
Siland and Las Marinas only.
The rebel positions at linus Baco or
Cavite Viejo and Novaleto are very
strong. The rebels flooded the coun-
try in advance and the Spanish troops
find it difficult to move artillery.
General Polavieja has applied for
5000 more troops. Dysentery and fever
1t will take several months to clear
the province of Cavite of rebels.
Manila is agitated by the confessions
of some prisoners, who declare that
native regiments were implicated in the
late rising in the suburbs. Several car
bineers of the One Hundred and Seven
ty-first regiment and three civilians
were tried by court martial and shot
There are so prisoners who have not
yet been tried.
Native soldiers are deserving in large
numbers.
The political situation is worse, and
it is evident that there has been an
increase in the supply of fire arms
among the rebels.

My Lady's Tea Gown.

Ny lady has Il tea-gown
1t is fiounced and ruffed and plated and
pulled
AS a tea-gown ought to be;
And l thought she must be testing
Last night at supper when
She remarked, by chance, that it came
from France.
And had cost but two pounds ten.
Had she told me fifty shilings,
l might land wouldn't you)
Have referred to that dress in way
folks express
BY an eloquent dash or two;
But the guileful little CT eature
Knew well her tactics when
She casually said that that dream in red
Had cost but two pounds ten
Yet our home is all the brighter
For that dainty, sentient thing.
That floats away where it properly may
And clings where it ought TO cling,
And l count myself the lucl.;est
OF ell us married men,
That l have a wife whose joy in life
Is a gown at two pounds ten.
It isn't the gown that comDels me
Condone this venial sin;
It's the pretty face above the lace
And the gentle heart within.
And with her arms about me,
l say, and say again,
'"Twas wondrous cheap"-and I think a
heap
Of that gown at two pounds ten.

porter, in his visits to the hotels during

OF the wagers so far made publicly are
of small amount. There is plenty of
Corbett money displayed around, but

Evansville. Ind, March 1O.-The Chicago
& Nashville limited passenger train,
southbound from Chicago, was wrecked
this morning at 1880 o'clock at point
ore mile east of Hazleton, Ind, and 81
miles north of Evansville on the Evans
vile & Terre Haute road. 1t was a very
difficult matter to obtain accurate in
formation. as the railroad officials were
unusually reticent, and refused Evansville
and Hazleton newspaper men transporta-
ton to the scene of the wreck. The latest
and most reliable report is that five men
were killed and two seriously injured, as
follows:
Killed:
Herbert B. Allen of Evansville, caught
in the smoking car and drowned.
Joseph Boleman, Evansville fireman.
John Sears, Terre Haute conductor.
Two unknown.
Injured:
Brakeman Haueisen, Evansville
}. b. Henderson, brother of eX-State
Auditor Henderson. Both are seriously
injured.
The accident was the result of recent
heavy rains in southern Indiana, and
when the train reached the fiIi,. the en-
bankment suddenly gave way, and the
engine, baggage car and part of the
water.
A telephone message from Hazleton
says there is another crevasse between
White river bridge and the one where the
train was wrecked. 1t is spreading rapid
