TURLEY wins SENN@SH|R.
TAYLOR'S FRIENDS WENT OYER


A Nashville, Tenn, special says:
After nearly two weeks deadlock, the
democratic caucus on the hundred and
forty fifth ballot Tuesday night nomi-
mated Hon. Thos. B. Turley 10 fli the
unexpired term Of Isham @. Harris
in the United States senate.
Immediately previous to the assem-
bling Of the legislature II looked like
Congressman Benton McMillin had
the race won, but Governor Taylor
entered the race and took enough
votes te cause q deadlock.
Mr.. McMillin led on every ballot
and once came within three votes OF q
nomination.
The impossibility Of making o nom
ination so long as three candidates re-.
mained in the field became apparent
and IL was necessary for some one TO
withdraw or have q permanent dead
lock. So Governor Taylor, failing In
his effort to have Senator Turley
withdraw, after he dropped into third
place, advised his friends TO vote for
Turley, aud Tuesday night when the
roll was called enough Taylor men
voted for Turley TO give him the NOM
ination, the ballot resulting:
Turley, 48; McMillin. 48; Taylor, 1.
The nomination was made unani-
nous and the three candidates were
invited to the hall TO address the
caucus.
Governor Taylor was the first
speaker, and while he said he had
thrown himself into the breach to save
Turley, he thanked those of his sup.
porters who had voted for him and
represented their constituents and
told those who had voted against him
that they must answer to their con-
stituents, who would tell them whether
or not they had misrepresented them.
He announced himself candidate
for the long term against Senator Bate
in 1899.
Senator Turley spoke briefly, ex.
pressing his high appreciation of the
support OF his friends who had won
the fight for him, as he entered the
race comparatively unknown.
Mr.. McMillin said il the governor
vos satisfied, he was; and while he
bore bald spot out Of the contest, he
did not bear sore one.
The liveliest interest will be aroused
in the coming campaign, as Senator
Turley's friends will unquestionably
rally to the support of Governor Tay-
lor and endeavor to pay the debt due
him both for the appointment and the
assistance in electing Turley.

According to the Chief Of the Penn
sylvania State Bureau OF Railroads,
the bicycle is hurting the business of
the railroads. He says 'In cities
like Harrisburg and many others it
cannot be gainsaid that the bicycle
has become q most serious competitor
OF the railway. To reinforce this view
of the case an observation was made
on Third street in that city during
the month Of October, 1897. The
observation covered two days, from
seven in the morning to six in the
evening. During that time COTS per-
sons passed given point, 1862 in the
cars and 4116 on bicycles; G7 40 per
cont. on bicycles and 80 $40 per cent.

CALIFORNIA NOT AFFECTED

by Germany's Prohibitive Action Against
American Fruit.
Among the fruit exporters in San
Francisco the news of the action of
the German government prohibiting
the importation Of American fruit has
created no alarm.
Albert Castle, of Castle Bros, voices
the general sentiment in the statement
that California sent too little fresh
fruit to Germany to feel the prohibi-
tion. He agreed with J. X. Armsby
& Co.'S representatives, Thomas F.
Porter Bros. & Co. and Rosenberg
Bros, & Co., that at present the mar
ket in Germany for that states fresh
fruits was not of sufficient importance
to justify alarm.

CLARK STANDS HIS GROUND,

Wyoming Senator Maintains That His
Vote On Teller Bin Was Consistent.
No business Of Importance was trans
acted by the senate in open session
Monday.
The feature Of the short session was
a statement made by Mr.. Clark, Of
Wyoming, as a matter of personal
privilege concerning his vote in favo-
Of the Teller resolution. He main
tsined that his vote was in no way in
consistent with his republicanism, and
declared that he would not permit
anybody to read him out of the party
as he was satisfied the masses Of the
party would not convict him OF
political heresy.

Anent the agitation in the South for
more diversified farming as q partial
remedy for the alleged over.produc.
tion of cotton, correspondent Of the
Charleston News and Courier directs
attention to the fact that many years
ago South Carolina had place in the
records as an exporter of wheat -four
and of corn. The -four exports began
about 1850 and continued into the
present century until cotton sup
planted wheat. It is believed that
much more -four was manufacted in
the State one hundred years ago than
now, although population and re-
sources have multiplied many fold. A
century and q half ago corn was "an
important article Of export" from the
State, and the trade continued for
over fifty years. as there is record of
about 100000 bushels exported in
1892. Not long thereafter corn became
an article Of import, and some years
ago was reported as "the largest"
article Of that character. What was
done with the soil Of the State 100
years ago, the Courier says, can be
done again. In one country the grow
ing and grinding of wheat for local con-
sumption has been undertaken, and
other counties are advised to follow
tho example. "We have proved by a
long and stumbling experience" the
Courier says, that cotton does not
take the place Of wheat as the staff of
kfe,' and that no community can thrive
whose only manufacturing industry is
Ahat of ginning the fibre for market" I"

Kills Aged Esther. Mother and His Son
and wounds His wife.
A special from Little Rock, Ark,
SAYS: Five miles north OF Mulberry,
in Franklin county, Sol F. Autrey, o
farmer, accompanied by his family,
went out Wednesday morning to visit
his aged father and mother living near
Mulberry.
Shortly after his arrival Autrey be.
came engaged in religious argument
with the old folks.
Suddenly he grasped an iron bar,
killed his aged father, mother and his
ten -year-old son and seriously wound
ed his wife and three remaining chill
dren, two Of whom are not expected
to live.
When the maniac started the deadly
work his wife and eldest daughter
made their escape, notifying q near
neighbor, but when the neighbor ar.
rived the man was standing in the
door swearing he would kill any one
who dared to enter.
Other neighbors came and found
Autrey a raving maniac, with his
clothing on fire.
He was overpowered, and the sight
that met their eyes was appalling
dead victims on the floor, beaten,
burned and mangled almost beyond
recognition. He has been swearing
that witches were the cause Of the act,
and that the last lick was when he
killed his boy, land then says he awoke.
Some doubt his insanity.

Says the Philadelphia Record
Justice Patterson of New York, in q
speech before the Law Club of that
city recently, deplored the fact that
che law had become so largely trade
instead of o profession; and on the
following day DR.. Edward Everett
Hale, in an address before an educa-
tional body in the same city on "Mor-
ality in the Public Schools" made the
declaration: "There is danger Of the
managers of a great machine taking
more pride in the machine and its
workings than in the results it turns
out. This is the danger in our public
schools" These words will, Of course,
be resented as the views Of pessimists;
yet they come from men qualified to
speak as public teachers, and com.
ing simultaneously they gain an en-
phasis which must command atten-
tion. We are accustomed to hatter
ourselves with the idea that our devel-
opment along material lines neces-
sarily involves q corresponding de-
velopment along intellectual and
moral lines. However that may be,
tho fact can no longer be denied that the
commercial instinct is beginning to
dominate almost every action Of our
psople.

PROCLAMATION.

Executive Department, Office of the
 Governor. Phoenix.
 To perpetuate the memory Of a great patriot, and as a slight evidence Of the love and gratitude ali Americans feel for the name Of that noble Frenchnan who, in the dark days Of the Revolution. did SC much for freedom and independence, it is proposed to erect a monument to Marquis De Lafayette, to be unveiled during the great exposition at Paris in the year l950- The idea Of erecting monument over the grave of Lafayette as tribute Of this great nation is being received with earnest and patriotic en- ti.usiasra everywhere. It is conducted un- der the auspices of the committee ap- pointed by rhe Commissioner of the Uni ted States 10 the Paris Exposition, and it's supporters and agents include mem hers of the National Government the Chief Executives, and those most closely connected with education in the various States Of the Union. The plan adopted is to obtain the funds to defray the cost Of the monument from the school youth Of the United States. It is believed that the children Of this country will be glad to have. and should be given, an opportu- nity Of doing honor to General Lafayette.
 l am sure that the youth of Ar:zona who are being educated cannot be ex- celled i1 noble resolve and patriotic purpose, and that in the fuilness of their gratitude to the hero who befriended their country in it's hour of need they will respond most heartily to this worthy object.
 Wednesday, October 18th. being the an niversary Of the fall of Yorktown. an event in which General Lafayette bore a conspicuous and honored part has been named as an appropriate day for receiv- iEg contributions from the students in the higher educa tionaI institutions and from the scholars in the city and district schools.
 Now, therefore. ', N. o. Murphy, Gov ernor of Arizona. recommend that on Wednesday, October 13. 1898, voluntary contributions be made Of Q small amount by each and every one Of the young pso- pie who can afford to give; and I further recommend that the Honorable Superin- tendent of Public Instruction take the matter in charge, for the purpose of per fecting whatever organization nay be necessary for receiving and receipting for the contributions. which are to be re- mitted to the Honorable Charles G.
