 Town, Where the Desperate
 Was Located. 

Columbus. Miss, May 22-(Special. J. Ike Watson, the negro who killed Po- liceman White at Meridian yesterday morning, was shot to death by a sher- iff's posse about eight miles west of Columbus this afternoon.
 Watson Is a native of this county, and after the homicide made tracks for his old home in the Brooksvflle neighborh ood. A sheriff's posse was in search of him yesterday and located him, but failed to effect his capture. About o'clock this afternoon, Sheriff Prowell received telephone message from Captain W. L. Ussery. who lives near wayeriy, stating that the negro was in the neighborhood. Captain Prowell quickly organized a posse and the party hastened towards Waverly on a special train which was furnished on short notice by the Southern Railway.
 When the party got within about two miles of Waverly. they saw the negro coming down the track. Watson jumped off the track and took to the woods. The posse commenced to shoot, and Watson. who was armed with a SS-ca1ibre Winchester rife, returned fire. The train was stopped and the party alighted, keeping a constant fu- silade of bullets flying towards the ne- gro. who fought fiendishly to the last. One of the bullets having struck him in the right arm, he shifted his gun to his left hand and continued to shoot. The battle lasted only few seconds. and the negro. reiinquishing his feeble grasp upon the weapon. which had been powerless to save him from the hands of the law. fell over a corpse.
 The body of the negro, which was literally riddled with bullets, was brought to an undertaking establish ment in this city, where it was pre- pared for burial.

LnLEY CASE CLOSED;
 WILL NOT BE EXPELLED

Washington. May 22.-No action looking toward the expulsion of Rep resentative George L. Lilley of Con necticut from the House is contem- plated. This statement is authorita- lively made today to the Associated Press.
 When the special committee appoint ed by Speaker Cannon to investigate the charges brought by Mir. Lilley against the Electric Boat Company sub mitted its report to the House last Tuesday, and more so after the report had been read on the floor the next day. there was much speculation as to the probable outcome The severity with which Mir. LiIIey was handled in the Committees findings. gave color to q report that these were to be made the basis of a discussion of expulsion.
 The following authorized statement, made today, is eontrariwise and con- elusive.
 The House of Representatives has nothing more to do with Mir. Lilley so far as the investigation episode is com cerned. The special committee investi- gated fully Mfr. Lfiiey's charges and re- ported fully It's findings to the House. The House by a substantial majority adopted that report No further action in the matter is contemplated. The ease Is closed."

BALLOT FOR BISHOPS
CHANGES IN THE POSITIONS OF
 THE LEADERS.
Rev. Charles GoodeIl is Dropped Be- cause He Is . Divorced Man. He Gives Out , Hot
 stntement.

Baltimore. May 22--The results of two ballots for bishops were announc- ed today at the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church today.
 Neither ballot produced an election, but they disclosed significant changes in the positions of the leaders. the chief feature of which was the drop of the Rev Charles u Go0deII pastor of Cal vary Methodist Espfseopal Church. New York City. from fffs fifth to the tenth position with 4 loss of f6a votes From the last preceding ballot. This was believed to be due to the publication of a story that pr. Goodell was di- yorced man. Dr. Goodeil. in state ment to the Associated Press. attrib- uted his loss of strength to, that fact and also admitted the truth of the charge against him, hut added that he divorced his wife on statutory grounds and did not re-marry until after the death of his first wife. which he un- derstood had occurred. MT. GoodelfE statement follows:
 T am assured by those who have led this movement against me that there is no reflection, in 1t upon my moral character
 ''The only thing charged against me is that am a divorced man. That is true. put the QIVOTCS was HNdhtSu Oh statutory grounds. recognized by the Bible. and I understood that at the time of my second marriage, my first wife was dead. For twenty-two years I have had the fullest confidence of the Methodist Episcopal Church and have filled her greatest puipits. My present church is the largest Methodist Episcopal Church in the world.
 '"The bringing of this charge at the moment when my election to the epis- oopacy seemed possible. regard as a political move. which is below the dia- nity of the average political conven- ton. The fact that it was brought at so late a moment that I could not meet If and that am not q member of the General Conference and so have nc right 10 the floor, will carry Its own lesson to all rlght-minded people. and think that in the end will prove a boomerang in the camp of those who have hurled if"
 pr. Gooden, who is regarded as one of the finest platform orators in the Methodist Episcopal Church, and is noted for his pastoral evangelism, said he secured the divorce at Providence in 1888 while in charge of church there. He asked for and obtained a ehurch trial, the result of which he said was a vindication of his course in the matter
