TERN KENTUCKY.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, April S.-The
most severe electrical storm in many
months passed over this city and
Southern Indiana this morning, and
reports of damage to trees and fences
and small buildings continue to reach
here. The downfall of rain that fol-
lowed the storm, and which continued
until late this afternoon, was heavy
and flooded the streets, greatly inter-
fering with travel on foot and with
street car rattle Lightning struck
several houses in this CITY, among
them being, the home of Mrs. Clara
Hulvershorn on Chandler avenue.
Several of the occupants of the house
were shocked.
The rain has caused many of the
side streams of the lower Ohio River
to start to rise again and it is feared
another rise will come on the present
flood which which is the most serious
since the flood in January Many
bridges were carried away by the
rain and high water and in many
places rural route mail carriers were
forced to abandon their trips for the
day.

suant to an agreement between the
attorneys Gov Wilson will hear the
argument in the application Of Caleb

necessary the hearing will be extend

Attorney Franklin was in George

the papers submitted to him, which
will include a complete transcript OF
the evidence in the famous cases, and
while it is hardly fair to guess what
he will do, the friends of the two pris-

NEW ORLEANS La, April S.-A
plan to invite tobacco growers from
those portions at Kentucky, where
there are hundreds of thousands of

FOR CORRECTION.

NEW YORK, April S-Because his
mother, Susan Carlin, had sent him to
various reformatory institutions in
which he was a prisoner for many
years, Bernard Carlin shot and in
stantly killed her today at her home
in Quincy street, Brooklyn.
Young Carlin had just been released
from the reformatory at Napanoch,
where he served a sentence for steal
ing horse and wagon. He was ar
rested after the shooting When Car
lin was freed from the reformatory
the Superintendent gave him $40 for
a new start in life. He arrived in
Brooklyn yesterday, bought a revolver
and went today to the apartments
where his mother lived with his sis
ter Mary. When his mother opened
the door in answer to his knock he
thrust the revolver in her face and
fired five bullets into her head. He
then attempted to shoot his sister,
but the revolver was empty.
Carlin fed, but was pursued and
captured after a desperate struggle,
in which he severely injured one of
his captors

thrilling and tempestuous a struggle
as has been witnessed here since the
S0-cent gas contest, the senate this
evening defeated the Agnew-Hart an
ti-racing gambling bills by a vote Of
20 to %
Enraged by the killing of the chief
project for which he has been waging
war since last New Years day, Gov
Charles Evans Hughes will in all
probability call an extra session of the
Legislature, unless meantime he sue
ceeds in pamming through the bills
he wants.
Concealing none of the resentment
and chagrin he felt, the governor to-
night emphatically declared: Tt is
impossible to believe that the people
will permit the plain mandate Of the
constitution to be ignored. The con-
test has not ended; it has only begun.
1t will continue until the will of the
people has been obeyed."
The finish in the two heats run in
the senate was as soul-stirring as that
of any Futurity ever raced. The neck
and neck dashes home were so
by floor and gallery that an
order, subsequently withdrawn, was
issued to have them cleared

SOUTH DAKOTA
FOR W. J. BRYAN
DELEGATES ARE INSTRUCTED TO
VOTE FOR coMMoNER WITH
GREAT ENTHUSIASM.

MITCHELL, S. D., April S.-The de-
mocracy of South Dakota in state
convention here assembled today in
structed its delegates to Denver to
vote for the Hon William Jennings
Bryan first, last and all the time.
Tumultuous applause greeted the in-
dorsement.
Col W. A. Lynch, of Huron, was
elected permanent chairman. The
platform adopted at the night session
favors the abolition of the tariff on
all trust controlled articles, graduated
income, an inheritance tax, a law
compelling all foreign corporations to
appear and stand trial before state
courts, demands the vigorous enforce
ment of the criminal law against
trusts and magnates, and urges tariff
reforms.
Henry Volkmar, of Milbang started
a fight over the positive instructions
for Bryan, urging that the convention
should permit the delegates to have
second choice.
A dozen speeches were made against
the possibility OF voting for Johnson.
Volkmar's amendment was defeated
unanimously. Andrew u.
Lee was endorsed for governor.

COLUMBIA, Tenn. April 9.-While
prices remain unchanged trading is
very active today and the receipts are
heavy. Eggs at IL cents are in good
demand and the indications now are
that there will be an advance with

will be maintained. Easter season
nearly always send the price up and
there is no reason why this should
not be the case this year. Spring
lambs will command top notch prices,
