DOUBLE MURDER
 NEAR FORT GAINES Ali Boynton and His Wife Shot
 in Their Home. THEY WERE CALLED 10 DOOR By Some Unknown Person Who Asked for Protection from the Gold, and
 Death Was the Reward for
 Their Hospitality.
THEY WERE CALLED 70 DOOR

Fort Gaines, Ga., February 10.-A revolt ing double assassination was reported to- day from the Grimsley plantation, several miles east of this city.
 At midnight last night, Ali Boynton, who lives the plantation with his wife, mother and four children, was aroused from sleep by knock at the door, On answer ing, Boynton was asked who lived there. Suspecting something wrong, he gave a flc- titious name. The voice then requested that the door be opened as a stranger want ed protection from the cold. Boynton complied and as the door was opened box of matches was thrust into his hand and he was asked to light one. Boynton again compiled with the unknown mans request and as the light fell on his face, a shot from revolver sent a bullet through his head, killing him instantly.
 His wife, hearing the shot, arose from bed and came quickly to the door, infant in arms. As she was about to step across the body of her husband to see who was her life and she fell across the dead body of her husband.
 The coroner instituted an Investigation to- day, but so far no clue to the murderer or mendous excitement in the neighborhood and if the guilty party is found he will un- doubtedly be lynched.

General Stampede to Dispensary
 Bill is Feared by "Antis."
ARMfOF LOBBYISTSON HAND
The Jefferson County Commissioners Court Bill Was Not Placed on the Senate Calendar Yesterday,
 as Was Expected.

Montgomery, February 10.-(Specia1.) J. The dispensary bill Is a special order in the house tomorrow morning at 1O:15 o'clock.
 It is the all absorbing topic among the legislators and the army of lobbyists here tonight.
 The "antis'' are trembling lest the bill be made applicable to the entire state, and some express fear that there will be a general stampede to the measure.
 Not Placed on Calendar
 The Jefferson county commissioners court bill was not placed on the senate calendar today as had been expected It is said by the advocates of the bill that such action could have been taken had they cared to force matters.
 The advocates now say that they may be forced into asking report from the com mittee. They may do this tomorrow. They allege that the committee is extremely dil- atory and is wasting time. Attorney F. S. White spoke before the committee for two hours tonight. It is asserted by the friends of the measure that they could pass a mo- tion calling for the committees report to- morrow. If this should be done the bill would be acted on next Wednesday.

BALLOON AND DEAD BODIES.
Remains of Andre and Companions Be-
 lieved to Have Been Found.

Krasnovarsk, Siberia, February IDA gold mine owner named Monastyrschin has received letter saying that tribe of Turgusos, inhabiting the Timbur penin- sula, north Siberia; recently informed the Russian police chief of the district that on January last between Komo and Pit, in the province of Yeniseisk, they found a cabin constructed of cloth and cordage ap- parently belonging to a balloon.
 Close by were the bodies of three men, the head of one badly crushed. Around them were a number of instruments, the uses of which were not understod by the Turgusos. The police chief has started for the spot to investigate, as it is believed that the bodies are those of Aeronaut Herr Andre, and his companions.
 The balloon eagle, with Prof. Andre and two companions, Strindberg and Fronkel, in the car left Danes island, of the Spits- bergen group on July Il, 1897, in an attempt to cross the north polar point. No definite news of the aeronauts has been received beyond tho message attached to a carrier pigeon found by the whaling ship PalkeT which arrived at Copenhagen on Septen ]. Der ?. The message read:

Americans Drive Natives from Caloocan
 and Reduce the Town.

Manila, February 10.-7:40 p. m.-The American forces at $40 o'clock this after noon made a combined attack upon Caloo- can and reduced it in short order.
 At signal from the tower of the Le La Lome church the United States double -tur- retted monitor Monadnock opened fire from the bay with the big guns of her fore turret on the earthworks with great effect.
 Soon afterwards the Utah battery bonn barded the place from the land side. The rebels reserved their fire until the bonn bardment ceased, when they fired volleys of vanced on the jungle.
 The Kansas regiment, on the extreme left with the Third artillery deploying to the right, charged across the open and car red the earthworks under a heavy fire.
 Supported by the artillery at the church, the troops further advanced, driving the enemy fighting every foot, right into their own line, and penetrated to the presidencia and lowered the Filipino flag at 5:3O D. m.
 The enemys sharpshooters in the jungle to the right fired at long range on the Penn sylvania regiment, but the rebels were soon sienced by shrapnell shells, and the Penn sylvanians remained in the trenches.
 As the Americans advanced they burned the native huts.
 The rebels were moved down like grass, their loss being very heavy, but the Ameri- can loss was slight.

 The American line today is much the same as on Wednesday, On the right General Ovenshine's brigade extends to the beach, two miles north of Camp Dewey and to the Pasig river; Lieutenant Colonel Treumann, with the North Dakota volun- teers, has established his headquarters on the beach, whence he is in signal commu- nication with the Americans. The Second battalion of the Dakota regiment extends along the front, and all of the Fourteenth infantry, with the exception of Companies M and B. is stationed at the Pasig rlver and extends thence to San Pedro and Ma lita in a complete line.
 Scouting parties of the Dakota regiment yesterday, surprised some Filipino scouts on the bridge across the Paranque river. The enemy retired hurriedly, swimming the stream in order to reach the main body or the rebels entrenched opposite Troop K, of the Fourth cavalry.
 A few rebels have concentrated at Pa ranaque. While they are entrenched, they are fully exposed from the water front

 The Nebraska regiment, Colorado regi- ment, South Dakota regiment, and the Utah artillery are occupying the same posts.
 On the left General Otis brigade, con sisting of the Twentieth Kansas regiment, eight companies of the Pennsylvania regi- ment, the Montana regiment and four bat teries of the Third artillery, stretches back near Caloocan to the Chinese cemetery, where there is an excellent signal station on a hill, where from church tower the signal men can communicate with the fleet.

THE L. A. w. ADJOURNS,
Summary of Work Accomplished by
 the Convention.

Providence, R. T., February 10.-To con tinue the control of the bicycle racing, both professional and amateur, took the former from membership, but to allow them a rep- resentatiye at the national assembly, and, according to President Keenan, a repre- sentative on the racing board, were the main results of the 1899 national assembly of the League of American Wheelmen, which finished its work in this city this afternoon.
 The racing question was, of course, the al-important one before the assembly, but so thoroughly had the ground been gone over in the past and so well was the situ- ation understood that there was scarcely any debate upon the question: and the prop osition to divorce the league from racing was overwhelmingly defeated The assembly was strongly opposed to
 the admission of professionals within the
 league ranks, yet that class of racing men
 received for the first time due recognition
 from the league, the call for representation
 where there was taxation being answered
 by giving them membership in the assem-
 bly,.
 The business of the day passed off with
 great smoothness, there being no attempt
 to fiilibuster any of the questions, while numerous and important amendments to the
 constitution and bylaws were discussed
 calmly and as a rule passed with little show
 of feeling.
 The assembly will next meet in Jackson vile, Fla, and the members left for home
 tonight with the grim satisfaction that next
 year they would come together under more
 favorable climatic conditions.

AFFECTING SCENE.
Beautiful Incident at the Convention of
 Essenic Knights.

New Orleans, February 1O.-The supreme senate of the Essenic Knights concluded it's convention tonight, remaining in session until work was completed. A resolution was adopted providing for badge to be worn by lady relations of the members to entitle them to the protection of rights every where.

It was also decided to grant no more charters to state grand sen ates, the senate reporting to the supreme body direct.
 A thrilling incident occurred tonight, when Colonel Slater, of Lawrenceburg Ind, a Grand Army man, was speaking on the womens badge question. He referred to Colonel Christy, speaker of the Pennsyl- vania legislature. as a gallant veteran who lay wounded for three days on the battle a southern soldier.
 Colonel David Fable, Louisiana dele gate, and ex-president of the Army of Northern Virginia, interrupted to say that he was southern soldier who had lain three days on Charlottesville field, but Hdu iol seen HIS ieuerdi companlon since. Colonel Christy rose and he and Colonel Fable recognized each other as the friendly enemies of long ago. The house rose with them, flags were pulled down and furled around them, and as they embraced the entire gathering cheered and sang patriotic songs.
 Pittsburg was selected as the meeting place for May, 1900, William Armstrong; of New Orleans was elected supreme senator B. c. Christy, of Pennsylvania, supreme senior senechal.

 An effort apparently to throw doubt upon this statement of the witness was made when two reporters were asked to stand up and Osborne asked Cornish if he had not said to them previous to the inquest that he had wished to be questioned regarding his relations with Mrs. Molineaux.
 Cornish denied this and said that after searching for a man with a common mo- tive against him and against Barnet his mind closed upon the name of Molineaux when It was suggested.
 Roland B. Molineaux sat in the court room by the side of his father, General Molineaux. He had strolled in late, smok- ing a cigar and showing every evidence of complacency.
