BOutelle in a Sanitarium.

Boston, Mass, Dec. 2S.-No infor-
nation could be gained to-day at the
Mclean asylum in Waverly, to
which Congressman c. A. Boutelle OF
Bangor had been taken for tre tment.
E. p. Boutelle, brother of the con-
gresham, admitted that the latter
was at the institution. Mr.. Boutelle,
while refraining from disclosing the
exact nature of his brothers disease,
said that the patient had been taken
to the Mclean asylum, as his eymp-
toms were such as called for the most
skillful treatment. A rumor gained
currency during the day that the
congressman was dead, but E. p.
Boutelle denied it. He said: There
is really nothing in my brothers con-
dition that would Indicate that his
illness is fatal
DR.. Daniel A. Robinson, the Bou-
telle family physician, is with the
congressman, and he will remain for
the present.

M'c0Y In FIVE ROUNDS.
Peter Maher Knocked Out at the Coney
Island Athletic Club.

New York, Jan. kid" Mccoy
won in the fight with Peter Maher at
the Coney Island Athletic Club this
afternoon in five rounds.
Maher had the worst OF it from the
start. In the first round he went
down twice, once from a left hook
from Mccoy and the second time by
a slip in trying to return a blow. In
the second round Mccoy knocked
Maher to his hands and knees. No
knockdowns followed in the third and
fourth, but the fifth was over i'll two
minutes and twenty-five seconds.
1t was a hard, fast and very scien-
tific battle with all the science on
McCoys side. Maher depended on
rushing tactics. He appeared very
unsteady on his feet and missed swing
after swing. Neither man was mark
ed to anyextent. Naher' cheek bore
slight cut and McCoys nose was
slightly redeemed.

BLACKBURN IS THE MAN.
Nominated by Kentucky Legi,-
Iature For United States
Senator.
ELECTION MORALLY CERTAIN.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 2.-After four
Iyears OF retirement Joseph c. S.
Blackburn was chosen tonight by
the joint caucus of the democratic
members of the legislature as the
successor to William Lindsay in the
United States Senate. Notwith-
standing Blackburns nomination was
q foregone conclusion and his cleo
ton morally certain, the proceedings
in the caucus tonight were enacted
in the presence OF a galaxy of Ken
lucky beauty and dense throng of
Blackburn admirers. The caucus
convened at 8 O'Clock and was called
to order by Senator Goebel, chair
man OF the joint caucus. There was
wild demonstration in the galleries
when Goebel came into the hall before
calling the caucus to order, and the
cheering continued for several min
utes. Senator's Alexander and Hays,
democrats, and Mcconnell, populist,
staid out of the caucus.
Blackburn was placed in nomina-
ton by Senator Goebel, who said the
longest and bitterest fight ever
fought for senator in this state, which
began four years ago, when Deboe
defeated Blackburn, was about to
reach it's just termination. The state
capitol rang with cheers as he placed
Blackburn in nomination. Senator
Farris made short seconding speech
and was followed by other members,
who eulogized Blackburn and con-
graduated the party on the union OF
oil the democratic members in return
ing him to the senate. Senator Thos.
asked that the roll be called SO that
every democratic member might have
an opportunity to go on record for
\ Blackburn. Senators Alexander and
Hays failed to respond to their names.
otherwise the vote was unanimous;
dOebel was applauded when he voted
for Blackburn.
i, After the ballot was announced
fshowing that Blackburn has received
the vote of every member present, he
was brought into the hall by a COM
mittee headed by Senator Triplett.
In his speech of acceptance Blackburn
said that the state election, when
purged of fraud, would show that
every democratic candidate for state
Offices had been fairly and honestly
elected He said he believed the dem
socrats won the fight in November,
and he believed that democratic
legislature would not fail to carry
the contests to a successful conclusion
and give the state Offices to the dem
Ocratic contestants.

CHANGE OF VENUE.
Alleged Murderers Employ Ralph
Latshaw and Humphrey & Hudson.

Attorney r. NJ Latshaw of Kan
sas City, who came down yesterday
to consult with the Silbee brothers,
alleged accomplices in the murder OF
Leopold Edlinger, was to-day finally
employed in the case and he there
upon engaged Attorneys Humphrey
4 Hudson to assist in the defense.
When asked this afternoon if they
would be ready for trial next week
Mr.. Hudso., of the defense, said he
didn't know, they had just been en-
ployed and were not yet familiar
with the circumstances of the case
Mr.. Latshaw is said to have stated
before his departure for Kansas City
this afternoon, that the defense
would ask for change of venue on
the ground that public prejudice
would make an npartial trial inn
possible in this county.
In order to get a change of venue
the defense would have to get affida-
Wits of citizens and this would be hard
to do as it is generally thought no
harm will come to the prisoners if
they are not guilty. County Attor-
ney Sheppard says a change OF venue
would cost the county 5000.
This afternoon informations were
filed against the prisoners. Phillips
will be tried alone and the Silbees
will be tried together unless they de-
mand separate trials. In accord
ance with the law, copies of the in
formation were this afternoon fur
nished to each prisoner in person
The names OF fiftyfour state witness
es are endorsed on the informations.
Phillips had a long talk with his
attorneys this afternoon.-Ft. Scott

suit in the United States court i'm
kanas City against the town and
| ten OF its citizens who were in the
mob.
Mr.. Spellman has the petition
drawn up which he will file in the
| United States court ii the mayor OF
Liberty ignores the demands of Mr.
Robinson. In this petition Mr. Rob-
inson states that the only thing that
saved him from death at the hands
OF the mob was that he was a Free
Mason, and while the mob had him
tied to a tree whipping him he be-
thought himself of the Mason's cry
OF distress and gave it in as loud a
voice as he could. He says that two
men in the mob gave the answering g
signal and at once the abuse stopped
and the mob dispersed, allowing him
to 60 home.
Mr.. Robinson describes in his petit
tion how the mob broke into his hotel
after midnight and took him out
by force. He was barefooted and
wore only a thin muslin gown; the
weather was cold and raw rain was
falling. In this condition of dress and
weather he was marched to the
square, out on Water street to the
Hamilton & ST. Joseph railroad
tracks, down the tracks to the new
cemetery over road of broken rock
which cut his feet. He begged to be
allowed to walk on the grass beside
the road, but this was refused. In
the cemetery he was stood with his
face to tree and beaten and punch
ed until he gave the Masonic cry of
distress. When he was released he
walked home and two towels were
soaked full of the blood that ran from
his cut feet.
Mr.. Robinson alleges that the mob
gathered and abused him, with the
connivance of the town marshal and
his deputy. In proof OF this he says
his wife will swear that after the mob
had taken him away she ran to the
square and shouted for help and the
deputy marshal heard her and laugh
ed at her.
Mr.. Robinson has paper signed
by 80 men of Liberty who say his
hotel was an orderly and respectable
one, although the excuse of the mob
for beating him was that he kept a
