jim MUTT CASE RECALLED.
Application for . Pardon for Mutt
Results In the Death Of
Jesse p. Payton.

ATCHIsON, KAs., June 6.-(special)
Jesse P. Payton died here to-day under
peculiar circumstances. For two weeks
he had been i'll with pneumonia and was
recovering. Saturday a man named Nell
son Reece called on him and asked an ap-
plication for pardon for man named
James w. Mutt, who Is in the penitentiary
for an assault on Mrs. Payton, in 1885. The
attending physician says the shock on the
sick mans nerves caused by the request
resulted in q relapse and was the indi-
rect cause Of Ms death. The pardon ap-
plication was not signed.
On the night of February 1, 1885, James
NJ. Mutt, a farmer living in Brown county.
called at the home of Jesse Payton. in
this county. Payton was away from
home, and Mrs. Payton- and q hired man
named Colgan had q thrilling adventure
with Mutt. who first attacked Colgan with
a revolver and after shooting him In the
arm aimed the weapon In the direction OF
old baby was sleeping. Mrs. Payton
picked UP the child. When Mutt fired two
shots, one striking her in the mouth and
the other In the neck. Colgan. in the
meantime, regained consciousness and
grappled the frenxied Mutt, and Mrs. Pay
ton rallied and. with an az. struck him on
the head. Then they bound him with a
clothesline and delivered him to an ON
Ger. He was sentenced to the Kansas
penitentiary for five years and Is still
there. Nuts father Was treasurer Of
Pennsylvania In 1883. and was killed by a
man named Dukes in quarrel because
Dukes would not marry Nuts daughter,
whom he had ruined under promise Of mar
riage. Jim Mutt afterward killed Dukes,
and then came to Kansas.

their work. Nothing has. therefore, devel-
oped as to the actual results Of the meet
ing, except that excellent feeling was
manifested on the part Of the representa-
tives Of both houses, which gave rise to
the expression on all hands that the con-
ference would not be SO prolonged as they
had been led to fear 1t would. The house
membefs wete found to be generally will
ing to accef the changes made by the
senate, wherk those changes were merely
questions of phraseology. and to meet the
senator's half way upon the more material
alterations.
There was comparatively little talk over
the general features OF the measure but
the work began promptly with the first
paragraphs OF the bill, beer and tobacco re-
ceiving first attention. It is known that
the representatives, Of the house stood out
stihy for THEIR original provision for the
taxation Of tsbacco on hand, and also for
the house reading on tobacco packages, but

BELFAST. June 6.-During the celebra-
tion of the anniversary of June 6. 1856,
when seven civilians were shot on Shank
Hill road by the constabulary, the Ma
tionalist procession. while returning this
evening from Hannanstown, was broken
up in riot. Several thousand Orangemen in
the Shank Hill road attacked and over
powered the police. and chased them back
into the Brow Square barracks. Several
mounted constables were severely injured
and one had his leg broken.
/. The police reinforcements which arrived
were compelled to threaten the crowd with
their reyolvers before they were able to
rescue their comrades from the fury of the
mob. which took up the street for miles.
The troops were then called out, but the
. mob cheered them and sang "Rule Brit
tania."
The disturbances then ceased. though the
excitement continued. The feeling of the
Orangemen against the police Is very bit
ter. Many civilians were injured. A score
of arrests were made.

bered in one strand of less than five miles

which the sea had driven upon the shore;"
and the country people told him "the like

still infected the country. saw with amaze

the lord deputy's hands. A grim smile
must have fitted over his face as he read
the words: Take great heed lest you fall

Messrs. Harrity and Guffey were notified
Of the change by Senator Jones, Of Ar

The substitution Of Mr.. Guffey's name il
the results Of a poll of the national COM
m!ttee, made through the mail by Sena-

tions of the Democrats Of Pennsylvania,
who. first through their state committee
and latterly through their state conven-
ton. requested that Mr.. Harrity's name
be dropped and Mr.. Guffey's added on the
general ground that Mr.. Harrity had
ceased to be in accord with his party. Not
desiring to take the responsibility Of max
ing the change himself, Senator Jones sent
all the correspondence bearing upon the
subject to the various members Of the
committee. This was done on the ith Of
April last. All but three of the members
cast their ballot and these three were no.
titled ten days since that the result would
be announced to-day.
Mr.. Jones declined to give the figures
