MRS. CLAY is TURNED OUT.
Wife OF the Kentucky General Subject of
Many EamiIy Quarrels.

Valley View. Ky. Jan. 17.-"Clell'
Richardson has driven his sister Mrs.
Dora Clay, away from his house. where
she has been staying ever since she left
her husband, General Cassius NJ. Clay,
Nov. 10 last. There has been. many
quarrels with pistol accompaniments in
the Richardson family because "Clelr'
allowed his brotherin-law, William
Bryant, to remain at his house while
Dora was there.
Several days ago "Clell'' took sick and
has been confined to his house. He took
Dora to task for allowing young Bry-
ant to show her so much attention. His
mother-in-law, Mrs. John Bryant, was
present. A family quarrel ensued and
resulted in "Clell' driving the three
from the house. 1t is thought that blood
will yet be shed over Mrs. Clay.
General Clay has vowed renewed
vengeance on his brother-in-law, Clell
Richardson, and swears to kill him on
sight. The entire county is stirred up
and bloodshed is expected. The off,
GERS are taking no action in the mat

I-SCALPERS' BILL.
Hearing Resumed Before Inter.
state Committee.
THE STATEMENT OF BERT W. LYON.

Editor of the st. Louis Commercial Travel
er Tells the Committee That Drummers
Are in Favor of the Passage of the Pend
ing Bili-Proeress of Work on the War
ships Now NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Pardons
Murderer-Capital Notes.
Washington Jan. 17.--The senate
committee on interstate commerce re-
sun7ed its hearing on the anti-scalping
bill. Pending the resumption of the
testimony of George NJ. Mckenzie of
Chicago, a statement was submitted to
the committee by Bert w. Lyon, ed
itor Of The Commercial Traveller of ST.
Louis. Mr. Lyon said that f. j. Feely
Vt Chicago and p. L. Dow Of New York
did not represent the 100000 travelling
statesmen Of the country. While he did
not desire TO be understood as claiming
dreds of thousand of commercial trav-
elers of the country, he was absolutely
satisfied that the great majority of
these travellers were in favor OF the
pending bill.
He thought it absurd TO suppose, as
Messrs. Dow and Feely would have the
committee to suppose, that the hun
dreds of thousands o commercial trav-
elers could not make arrangements with
the railroads as favorable to themselves
as the few thousand ticket brokers
could make for them.
Mckenzie Resumes Testimony.
If it were not for the severe restric-
tions placed by the railroads upon local
rates made necessary by the business Of
the ticket broker, il would be possible
for commercial travellers TO make much
better arrang aments for their trans
portation than they are now able to
make. Mr.. Mckenzie. the Chicago
ticket broker then resumed his testi-
mony. He presented affidavits from va
rious ticket brokers in Chicago. St.
Louis, Boston, Louisville and other cit
les setting forth that they had pur-
chased tickets directly from the au-
thoriZed agents OF railroads. and in
some cases receiving commissions
thereon.
In response to inquiries by Senator
Cullom, Mr.. Mckenzie named among
the lines with which he had done busi-
ness in Chicago. the Big Four. Chicago
and Great Western. Chicago. Burling-
ton and Quincy, Chicago and Alton.
Union Pacific. Monon route. Wisconsin
Central. Canadian Pacific Rock Island.
He was unable to afford the commit
tee details and particulars concern
ing the business done with those lines.
Aggregated S66O,OOO Last Year.
Senator Elkins inquired what the an
nual volume of Mr.. McKenzie's busi-
ness was and he replied that 1t aggre-
gated last year $660,000.
mo wonder you are making a fight
against this BILL" said Mr.. Elkins.
The questioning Of Mr.. Mckenzie
brought out the statement that the
bulk Of his business was done over the
weak lines. lie said that he could do
little business with the Canadian Pa
cific, because a law OF Canada prohib-
tied brokerage in railroad tickets with
in the limits OF the dominion. Mr.. Nc
Kenzie did not say that he himself had
received commissions from the rail-
roads for the sale OF tickets, but he
presented statements from other bro
kers that they had been paid commits
sions from various railroads
