ing lad Happened.
Columbus, Ca, April 8.-George
Reid, a young negro drayman. this
afternoon killed his wife, Aquilla
Reid, in the negro district in the
southeastern part of the city.
While delivering goods for a whole
sale firm of the city he stopped at his
home, and while there, it seems, had
d quarrel with his wife It ended
in his shooting her while walking by
her side in the yard, he placing the
pistol so close to her body that the
powder burned her clothing.
She did not fall at first and as
, she staggered along he walked behind
her, pistol in hand. She fell after
few steps, and he stood over her,
threatening to snoot her again, when
another negro woman appeared on
the scene, and he walked out to his
dray and remounted it
The second woman began calling
tor the police, and he remarked that
he would fix three or four policemen
the same way. The Reid woman died
in a few minutes.
Reid drove off on his dray, delivered
two more orders, ana then tying his
horse to post made a beak for the
county, escaping from the city. A
posse Is after him tonight.

DEMOCRATS OF THE HOUSE TO
MEET ~ CAUCUS AND DECIDE
WHAT STEPS THEY WILL TAKE
IN THE MATTER.
coNcEDE THAT COMBINATION OF
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS
WOULD MAKE THE FINAL ISSUE
VERY DOUBTFUL.

Washington. April S.-A caucus to
consider the matter of the proper
democratic attitude toward the pro-
posed reciprocity with Cuba, as out
lined in the bill introduced by Chair
man Payne, of the ways and means
committee, was called by Chairman
Hay this evening. The petition for
| the caucus, which will be held tomor-
row night, received the necessary
number of signatures within fifteen
minutes after being put in circula-
tion among the members. 1t grew
out of an informal conference between
several prominent democrats and the
| favorable manner in which it was
received greatly encouraged tnoae
who are of the opinion that the party
will benefit as a result OF a full con-
sideration of the knorty question.
Will Get Together.
Heretofore there has been a ma
-erlal difference oil opinion, but it is
believed that by getting together and
going thoroughly into the matter it
will be possible to arrive at some plan
which will obviate the necessity of
aither voting for the measure which
the republican majority on the ways
and means committee has prepared
or directly against that measure: in
other words, it is hoped that the eau
Gus will be abe to agree on some plan
which will show clearly the demo-
cratic position in the premises, and
at the same time make it possible for
the party to profit by It's action.
The move caused some agitation
on botn sides of the chamber in con-
nection win the opening of the de-
pate on the Cuban bill tomorrow, as
1t was thought to introduce new
element of doubt as to the final vote
on that measure.
1t was conceded by the supporters
of the Payne bill that a combination
between the minority and the repub-
| licans who oppose reciprocity would
make the final issue doubtful. Repre-
sentative Watson, of Indiana. who Is
acting as the republican whip ON
the Cuban bill, expresses confidence
that the bill will pass
