A VIRGINIA ROMANCE.
story of Husband Who Shielded
His Wife's Crime.

RICHMOND, Va, April 12-The an
nouncement made to-day from the Gov
ernor's office that Connal;y Fields could
return to Virginia with the disgrace at
tached to the crime of murder removed
from his name. has brought to light a TO-
mantle story, in which man sacrificed all
to save his wife. In 1884 Fields was re-
spected farmer of Scott County His wi-e's
brother. W. A. Scott. whose reputation was
not of the best, had given him considerable
trouble. and finally he forbade him to come
on his place. One day Scott disregarded
the order. fist fight followed. and Fields
was beaten. His wife rushed to his assist
ance and stabbed her brother to the heart
with pair of scissors. u-.--
Fields took the first train for the West
and, as there were no witnesses. all be-
iieved that he was the murderer His wife
some years afterward became involved in
a difficulty with a woman and killed her.
for which she was sentenced to the peni-
tentiary A short time ago. as she was
dying of consumption, she was pardoned.
The truth then became known, and
amends were at once made as far as pos
sible for the wrong that her husband had
suffered. Fields is said to have prospered
greatly in his new home. and ii is doubtful
If he will care to return to the State of his
birth

SENATOR CLARK'S CASE.
He Is CounseIcd by Friends Not to
Resign.


Senator William A. Clark will not resign.
He has made no formal statement COZ
cerning the course which he will pursu-,
ether than that he will be guided by the
advice OF his friends. but 1t is understood
that these friends have counseled him to
fight rather than resign.
The first proposition on which he and his
friends will stand is that the Senate can
not oust him by mere majority vote, but
that two thirds vote is necessary to ac-
eomplish this result If this proposition
can be sustained. and Senator Clark's ad-
visers are confident of this. it is though.
by many that he may retain his seat.
1t is said that among those Senators who
are prepared to undertake the fight that
the Senate cannot unseat on a majority
vote are Messrs. Clay and Bacon OF
Georgia, Mason of illinois, and Heitfeld of
Idaho
Senator Clark has received thousands of
kilograms of confidence in him large
proportion of these messages are from
Montana. These Senator Clark and his
friends regard as significant of the general
sentiment in the State and throughout the
country. In advising him not to resign, Mr.
Clark's friends are actuated largely by the
fact that the report OF the committee.
which. it is thought. will be submitted
early next week does not sustain the di-
rect charges OF bribery against him. but
merely condemns the wholesale use of
money in the contest before the Legislature
that ended in his election. II the commit
tee had found a result of its investisa-
tion that Mr. Clark had been guilty of aD-
solute bribery he would have regarded the
rebuke as OF such a nature as to compel
him TO resign,

NO ELECTION In MONTANA.
Governor Smith Says He VIII Not
Call an Extra Session.

HELENA Mon. April 12.-In an inter-
view here this evening Governor Smith ar
nounced that under no circumstances would
he call an extra session of the Legislature
to elect a successor to United States Sena-
tor W. A Clark
The Democratic press Of the state IS
clamoring for an extra session. on the
ground that the present Legislature is
Democratic and would naturally elec. a
Democrat IL anyone. In these editorials
the Governor is plainly warned of the prob
ability of the Legislature to be chosen this
fall being Republican, in which event his
appointee to the Clark vacancy would lie
succeeded by a Republican, thus costing
the Democrats Senator for five years at
least. Senator Carter's term expires
March next, so the Legislature next vim
ter will elect two Senators.
