War to the End.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 9.-Govs
ernor Taylor finally refused last
night to sign the peace protocol
and now it is war to the bitter
end.
The Democratic seat of govern
rleat has been taken to Louisville
and the Republican to London,
temporarily at least, while the
leaders of each side will definitely
decide what plans will be followed
in the contest.
The House and Senate, page
boys, with the other employees,
left to-day for Louisville, to be
present at the meeting there to-
day of the Democratic Legislature.

ton from the executive house

to do so. He has won the uneL-

Louisville Agreement Hangs
Fire.
It is plain that the war with a
gun is ended in Kentucky, and a
war with pen and tongue inaugu-
rated. When the American pen
and American tongue take charge
of a subject they invariably lead
on to a result that is at least en- i
durable. This will be the case be-
fyond reasonable doubt in Ken
lucky. The haggling over terms
may some time, but the
longer the time the less likely an
outburst of passion.
The Democrats are. of course,
contending for full possession of
| the State government, and the
Republicans want above all else a
repeal of the Goebel law, which is,
to say the least, an unnecessary
law in Democratic Kentucky. If
the Democrats of that State will
pull them selves together they do
not need any such law, and it's re-
peal as a means to peace and
Democratic supremacy should be
conceded, and is conceded in the
Louisville agreement, but not in
terms explicit and definite enough
to suit Mr. Taylor and his friends,
who are holding the fort at Frank
fort. Neither party to the Louis
vile agreement can afford to be
tricky and dishonest. A public
agreement should be fully and
honestly carried out, and there is
no reason to doubt that the Louis
vile compact would be kept to
the letter,
In the course of the conflict
which will doubtless be known in
history as Tayler's Rebellion
two blunders we're made by the
State House crowd, namely, the
detention of Alonzo Walker, and
the removal of the legislature to
London. But Walker has been
turned loose, and the legislature
at London cannot muster q quo
rum. These blunders have there
fore proven harmless, and Taylor
is practically a prisoner himself
in the State house. He does not
hold much else. He is therefore
ready to negotiate.
It will be a relief to American
institutions when the ~disgraceful
Kentucky middle is put out of
sight. The Goebel law is not an
ideal measure, and the attempt
on the part of Taylor to override
and dispense the legislature was
essentially revolutionary in it's
nature. 1t was done in the teeth
of the constitution of the State,
which provides that s%scontested
, elections for governor and lieu
tenant governor shall be deter~
mined by both houses of the gen
: eral assembly according to such
. regulations as may be established
by law" The Goebel law
was passed before Tay-
lor became a candidate, and

and to accept its operations, TAX

WILD WEATHER.
Billiards. and TOrnadOes Sweep
Over The West.

st. Louis, Feb. 8.-A tornado
swept through eastern Illinois
and western Indiana today, in
juring at least Is people and lev.
cling houses, telegraph poles
and other structures.
The storm seems to have pass
ed down the Indiana-Illinois line
to Evansville. and the reports
from many places indicate that
the wind reached almost the We
locity of a torn ado at many
points.
Near the village Of Cantane,
ILL.,, not far from Collinsville, a
large farm house was completely
destroyed. The farmer and the
members Of his family escaped.
In the same locality a mile and a
half of telegraph lines was
blown down and much debris
piled on the track of the Van
dalia Rsilroa The farmer
whose home had been destroyed,
while out looking for his live
stock, noticed that the track of
the railroad was obstructed, and
hurrying west a mile, he tagged
No. II, the fast passenger train,
due in indianapolis at 500
o'clock. It was not yet daylight,
and the officers of the road say
that the train would surely have
been wrecked but for the warn>
ing Of the farmer.
st. Louis, Feb. 8.-The town
of Collinsville, IL miles from St.
Louis, on the Vandalia railroad,
narrowly escaped destruction by
a tornado to-day. Fifteen persons
were injured in the immediate Wis
cinity of the village, some of them
fatally, end there was much dam
age to property. The miners who
live on the outskirts lost most Sc
verely by the wind. A group OF
three fine residences standing on
a hill were reduced to ~splinters.
About $3.50 a. N. the storm
was felt at a point n mile south
of CollinsvilIe. The first house
demolished was that occupied by
Frank hobart. He, his son and
daughter, we're buried in the de-
bris, and it was some time before
they we're rescued, bruised and
bleeding from the wreekage. Thew
were carried to a neighbours house
and given such car as could be
had until physicians arrived from
the village. The great smokestach
of the Hight Club Coal building
was leveled and the building was
somewhat damaged. From there
the wind swept to the Vandalis
tracks, laying waste telegraph
poles for a distance Of a quarter
of a mile. Beyond the Vandalis
tracks several large frame houses
were leveled and nothing is LEFT
save a mass Of tangled wreckage

Poughkeepsie, Feb. 9.-The
Rev. George Allen, of Milton,
and Miss Minnie Gedney were
married at Milton, n. T., to-day.
The welding is the elimination Of
a ttagical romance. A few months
ago the wedding was set, and the
young clergyman attempted sui

Miss Gedney having nursed him
through his suffering. He was for
several weeks a sufferer from his
self-inficted wounds. He blames
his rashness to overwork and ner-
vousness, and Miss Gedney be-
lieved him. The congregation still
believe in the young pastor, and
a big reception will be rendered
him and his bride when they res
turn.
