Home Matters in Washington.

WASHINGTON. January l2.-Sena-
tor Tillman concurs in the opinion OF
Governor Ellerbe, as expressed in his
message, relative to the dispensary
system. When spoken to on the sub
ject to-day, Senator Tillman author
lied the following statement 1T is
we'll understood that the dispensary
as now conducted, with such safe
guards as would prevent abuses or
speculation, would be the best sys-
tenn. The only question is what the
Legislature had :oest do pending de-
cision by the Supreme Court Of the
United States or the action Of the
House of Representatives OF the bill
already passed by the Senate. If ST.
monton decision is sustained by the
Supreme Court it destroys the license
system throughout the country. and
gives liquor, in original packages. free
entry into every State in the Union
under Interstate commerce. The
Legislature cannot afford to leave the
original package stores pursuing their
pernicious traffic, which has resulted
in a large increase Of drunkenness and
crime already. l agree with Governor
Ellerbc that we had better destroy the
profit feature Of the dispensary than
undertake any form of license, and
prohibition would. in my judgment,
be practical continuance of the ex-
listing condition, which is free whiskey
throughout the State. A great many
people have always opposed the dis
pcnsary because of the profit feature,
and, while l could never understand
the difference between accepting
money for license and obtaining it by
profit from liquor sold in the dispcn-
say. | believe it is best. for the peace
and good order Of the State to forego
the profit entirely rather than risk
profit or license. We will gain time,
and can determine what is best to do
next winter, after the Court has de-
cidct the question. and after the
House has passed or refused to pass

special to the pimes-Union and Citl-
zen from Pensacola says:
Last Friday night Herbert Aeely
and Miss Alice Caro-. Of Warrenton, a
town surrounding the navy yard, left
in buggy to attend party at Mill
view, about 10 miles away. They ar
rived safely and among the gay
est Of the gay. Dancing was kept up
until after midnight, and about 2 a.
m. the young couple left to return
home.
Miss Caro- and her escort did not ap
pear in Warrington on Saturday, but
no alarm was felt by her family, as it
was supposed that she had remained
with a relative who resides near Mill
view. 1t twas learned yesterday eve
ming that the couple had left Mlllvlew
the night Of the party, and the young
lady had not stopped at the home OF
her relative.
This morning searching party was
organized. and near a bridge a few
miles from Nlillview, the horse, at.
tached to the vehicle, was found tied
to tree. A few yards farther, in
clump of trees, the bodies Of the tive
young people were found. The young
lady had been killed by a pistol ball,
which entered her head near the ear,
and the young man had also been kill
ed bv pistol ball. which shattered his
skull. His head was lying on the
young lady's lap.
Coroner Jones of this city was ina
mcdiately notified, and he went out
and held an inquest. DR.. j. FL. Pier
pont was also summoned from the
city, and on making an examination:
he found evidence of a grave crime.
There were evidences of severe strug-
gle, as portion Of the woman cloth
Ing was found yards away from where
the bodies lay.
After viewing the bodies and sur
roundings, the coroncr's jury was con.
vinced that the young man had killed

eide.

A society Woman Seriously Shot.

W.lsniyaroS. Jan. 16-Mrs. Lucille
Lane. Youngest daughter Of cx-Sena-
tor Joe Blackburn, of kentucky, shot
herself in her apartment at the Wei
linston hotel last night. According
to the statement given oat by the
family the shooting was accidental.
Both of bIrs. Lane physicians re-
fused to discuss the subject even to
the extent Of saying whether or not
the wound would prove fatal, but from
the best that can be learned she will
probably recover, although now suf-
fering severely from the shock.
a friend OF the family nominated
to give out u statement of the occur
renee. said that about midnight on
Saturday Mrs. Lane was preparing to
retire. Her husband at the time was
in the adjoining room looking over
some papers. Mrs. Lane opened a
bureau drawer to get handkerchief
and picked up handful Of gloves and
lace which had been tossed together
in the drawer. Under this fluffy mass.
was tiny lady pistol. gift to Mrs.
Lane from her father. and a posses
sion of which she was particularly
fond. 1t caught in piece of lace as
she raised her hand and falling of it's
own weight struck the hammer on the
edge Of the open drawer. The pistol
exploded and the ball penetrated her
left breast What became Of it is i'm
possible to say. According to the
statement given out, it struck a rib
and ranged around beneath the left
shoulder, making only superficial
wound. At the same time it is said
Mrs. Lane in suffering from shock:
that the physicians have devoted all
their energies to rallying her, without
attempting to definitely ascertain the
extent of the injury.
The most precise statement that ell
ther physician would make tonight
was that Mrs. Lane would probably
live till morning. At the request Of
the family the block in which the he
tel is situated has been roped off.

yirginia's anti-Flirting Bill.

RlcuMoSD, VA: Jan 14.-Senator
NIcCune' anti-Airting bill, which. has
heretofore been regarded as the joke
of the Legislative session, took Sc
rious turn to-day. and will probably
be favorably reported and become a
law: The bill was considered this af-
tcrnoon before the committee on pub
lie institutions and schools, and the
testimony in letters from various
principals Of girls schools was so i'm.
prcssivc that those members who had
heretofore treated the matteras a joke
declared themselves in favor of the
measure. 1t was laid over in order to
give the committee time to fully con-
slider the provisions in detail.
The measure is designed to protect
school girls from the annoyance and
the lettering around girls schools of
young men of Objectionable character.
The need of such law vas felt so
much in this city that when the Leg
islature. two years ago, failed to con-
slider such bill. the city council pass
ed an ordnance which etfectually broke
up the attentions of young mashers to
school girls. Several arrests were
made and no more trouble was exper-

City Struck by a Tornado.

Fort SMITH. Arb january Il
Two score OF human lives and upward
of one million dollars worth OF prop
crty we're destroyed BIZ i terrible tor
nado, which burst upon this city a
few minutes past II o'clock last
night. The storm struck near the
National Cemetery and tore its way
through the entire city: leaving its
path marked by death and desolatiol'.
Men, women and children: peacefully
asleep in their homes, were without Il
moments warning awakened to a hor-
riblc death in the fearful storm, while
others momentarily more fortunate,
and who escaped the fury Of the wind,
met far worse fate a few moments
later in the flames, which soon en-
quilted many of the wrecked buildings.
The list of the dead and wounded,
so far as is known, is forty-fve.
The scene following the first terrific
crash Of the storm was one OF awful
grandeur. Business blocks, handsome
mansions, hotels and humble cottages
were razed TO the ground and scattered
in shapcless masses. Several of the
wrecks caught fire and the inhamma-
Bile timbers burned furiously.
The city was crowded with rural
visitors, many Of whom were sleeping
at the boarding houses unregistered.
For this reason the number Of victims
who perished in Fort Smith last night
may never be definitely known.
The storm struck the city near the
National Cemetery and swept its way
through the heart Of the town. Leay-
ing Fort Smith, it bounded by Ven
Buren, and con tinued down the river,
demolishing everything in its path.
News from outside points is not yet at
hand, but rumors Of much damage as
far south as Alma have reached here,
it being reported that a number OF
persons were killed near that place.
Fort Smith lies at the confluence OF
the Pitou and Arkansas rivers, which
wash it's south and west sides, and to
the north and east are hills, which
form a barrier about that section Of
town. The storm struck this city in
the southwestern section. right at a
point where the two rivers come to-
gether, and near the old fort. From
there it spread out over the whole
city, dipping down and scattering de-
struction here and there There is Il
rise in the city toward the east, to
meet the hills on that side, and most
Of the damage to property and loss OF
life was in that section.
