been best known, spent his earlier years around about Maineville and Posters crossing-the latter little station on the Little Miami railroad. His father was Will liam Butterworth. his mother Linton, a family noted throughout the entire line for their keenness of intellect, powers of per- ception and strength in speech and debate. Both parents were of Quaker ancestry.
 Maj. Butterworth's keen intellect and re- markable powers of perception were inher- ited from his mother. Butterworth's first acquaintance with law was made in the office of Durbin Ward, then a successful practitioner in Cincinnati. During the war he attained the rank of major in an Ohio regiment. He was commissioner of patents first during the administration of Garfield and Arthur, and his record made then and dent Mckinley in selecting him for that position.
 He was made secretary the worlds fair project early in the inception of that great enterprise at Chicago during the early nineties and worked along in that capacity with honor to himself and profit to the company until it's close.
 A wife and four children survive the dead statesman. His wife was Miss Mary Schuyler, of Pennsylvania. The children are Mrs. Howe, of Washington, D. C., a widow; William, who married a Miss Dee req, of Moline, Ill.,; young Ben. who was injured in a college game early in life, a..d Frank. whose prowess as a foot ball coach and full back Is almost international

DANCED UNTIL MIDNIGHT
Failed to Return Home and Searching Party Was Organized Evidence of Grave
 Crime Discovered.

Pensacola, Fla, Jan. 17.-Last Friday night Herbert seeley and Miss Alice Caro. of Warrington. a town surrounding the navy yard, left in buggy to attend party at Mill View. abbut ten miles away. They arrived safely and were among the gayest of the guests. Dancing was kept up until after midnight and about ? a. m. the young couple left to return home.
 Miss Caro and her escort did not appear at Warrington Saturday, but no alarm was felt by her family as it was supposed that she had remained with relative who resides near Mill View. It was learned yesterday evening that the couple had left Mill View the night of the party and the young lady had not stopped at the home of her relatives.
 This morning a searching party was or ganized, and near a bridge, few miles from NH View, the horse, attached to the vehicle, was found tied to a tree A few yards farther, in a clump of trees, the bodies of the two young people were found. The young lady had been killed by a pistol ball, which entered her head over the ear and the young man had been killed by pistol bah, which had shat tered his skull. fIis head was lying on the young lady's lap.
 Coroner Jones, of this city, was immedi- ately notified, and he went out and held an inquest. Dr. J. H. Pierpont was also summoned from the city. and on making an examination, he found evidence of grave crime. There were evidences of severe struggle, as a portion of the wo- mans clothing was found yards away from where the bodies lay.
 After viewing the bodies and surround ings, the coroners jury was convinced that the young man had killed the girl and sub sequently committed suicide.
 Miss Caro- was about 22 years of age It is understood that they were engaged to be married, and so far as is known there was no opposition to the marriage.

Philadelphia, Jan. E.-Samuel Tender son. the 15-year-old boy who is charged with the murder of 5-year-old Percy Lock- year, was committed to prison today to await the action of the coroner.

 Today'S hearing was not without its sad scenes The boy apparently unconscious of the extent of his crime, stared stolidly at the magistrate while his father knelt by his side and wept over and caressed his boy. NIT. Henderson believes his boy, but asserts that he Is not in his right mind. Samuel had an attack of typhoid fever some years ago and his father maintains that he has acted strangely ever since

to be used to barricade the courts and break down everything that means the freedom of the government He differed, he said. from the leader, MT. Bryan. whose cause he had followed to the pit. He was rot willing to subscribe to the idea that free silver was the single end to be fought for. There was necessity, he said, for return to the true democracy which had for its end the freedom of the individual as an individual Mr. Lewis quoted tele- gram which he said Senator Hanna had received from Frankfort, Germany. signed by A. SeMgman. as follows:
 q congratulate you on your election. It Is most satisfactory to me-
 That message. he said, came from the man who helped to place a mortgage on this government of $2OO,OOO.OOO. It's inso- lence, he said, had no parallel in history save in the message sent by Pontius Plate to the executioner of Jesus Christ con- graduating him that his work was well done.
 MT. Grosevnor interrupted to ask If MT. Lewis was aware that MT. Seligman was an American citizen.
 "I am," responded MT. Lewis. "He is an unpatriotic citizen" Applause on the democratic side).
 Grosyenor Defends seligman.
 MT. Grosevnor recalled the fact that MT. Seligman with the credit of his house rem dered invaluable aid to the union cause during the war. To this Mir. Lewis replied with the statement that MT. Seligman had removed his residence from this country at time when he feared the income tax law would compel him to pay his share to the support of the government. "He is the last man." said he, "whom should take pride in calling an American citizen"
 MT. Hull (rep.) of Iowa, chairman of the committee on military affairs, expressed concurrence in the views of MT. Mcclellan to the extent that he believed that the army should be reorganized, as the present organization was obsolete. The discussion of the needs of the army was continued by Messrs. Wheeler (dem) of Alabama, Cox (dem.) of Tennessee and others.
 Without completing the bill, the commit tee rose and at 5:10 p. m. the house ad- journed.

MT. Lewis (dem.) of Washington, made a vigorous speech against any increase In the army. He created something of an inno- vation by taking his position in the area in front of the speakers rostrum and speaking to the house face to face as to a congregation. He charged that the trusts were in control of the country and constituted the mailed hand of power be- hind the decree of courts. If the army were increased the people would, he said.
