THE KANSAS ELECTION,
Judge Puffer tclected Senator by an Over
wbetiuing Majority.
Topeka, Jan. 30.—For the first time in ]
tiie history of this state a United States
senator was elected without the aid of
the Republican party.
JUDGE W. A. PB4VKU.
At the joint session of the legislature,
William A. Peffer received 101 votes
and John J. Ingalls 58, Judge Peffer’s
majority being 43, which was a surprise
to his most ardent supporters.
When the result was announced, the
wells of the state house echoed and re
echoed with applause from tlie Alliance
members, who were anticipating the re
sult, but no one expected such a Water
loo defeat would befall Ingalls. During
the day a representative of the Associ
ated Press called on Mr. Ingalls, who
said:
“I have no plans for the future. I only
know that I shall remain in Kansas. I
came to the state three years before its
admission into the Union, I have lived
here ever since; all my belongings ore
here; all of my children were boru iu
Kansas. My dead sleep in her bosom,
and I hope to mingle my dust with her
soil.”
Republicans express fait isfaction with
Mr. Peffer as senator, and consider hjm
the best man of the several Alliance as
pirants. It is thought Peffer will act
with the Republicans in the senate, ex
cept in matters affecting the Alliance.
A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.
A Luadiu" Merchant in Uruzll Write* to
the Bureau of Republic*.
Washington, Feb. 4. —The bureau of
the American Republics has received a
letter from a leading merchant in Brasil,
who writes as follows:
“Almost everything made in America
is good for this country, U lass ware iu
wanted badly, particularly big tumblers,
water sets and small liquor glasses,
knives and forks, all kinds of tinware,
hardware, tools, and notions of every
kind, cotton sheeting, prints and cheap
light-weight goods. In fact, I can say
that Ido not know what will not sell,
We want paper and stationery of every
kind, varnish, felt shoes, woodenware,
gloves and blankets. We have recently
had the largest shipment of manufac
tured goods from tlie United States ever
landed here, and, all the prices charged
were outrageous, they met with a won
derfully quick sale. Lamps which are
sold in Now York at 85 cents were sold
Imre at tftt net, and I disposed of 200 in a
couple of days. If I were in business in
New York, instead of Rio Janeiro, I
would do a big business throughout ull
the provinces of Brazil. It only wants
some of tlie New York wholesale firms
to go for this market, and before long
our people would regularly send all their
supplies; but Blaine’s reciprocity idea
wilt lead to increased business with us.
It is a splendid notion, and, if Blaineoo.4
carry it out, both countries will have a
good deal to thank him for.”
ALMOST A RIOT.
The Testimony of \Vo«>4t'uflf in a Mur«ler
Trial i:imt;'t-H Spectators,
Decatur, HI., Feb. I.—During the
progress of the Crawford murder trial, a
riot was nearly precipitated iu the court
room.
William Woodruff, a witness for the
defense, was testifying to the character
of Mrs. Mathias, Crawford's victim. Tin,
husband of the deceased wa.sjdtting near
by. The witness said Mrs. Mathias had
held improper relations with different
mpn, wjth tlie knowledge and consent
of her husband, Before any one could
control Mathias, he arose and saidi
‘♦You’re a liar, d—n you!” and in the
same instance raised a chair to assuult
the witness. Mathias is a powerful uun,
and it required several bailiffs to disarm
him.
This aroused the crowd, who pried:
“Let him go, let him go! Lyncli flu,
brute,” etc. A hundred men started to
ward the witness, and several revolvers
were flourished, and some time elapsed
before order was restored,
A warrant was sworn out charging
Woodruff with perjury, and ho was
taken to jail under a guard. A mob of
desperate men had to be forced back at
nearly every step.

Eagle lias compile.! the following table
on the new apportionment, which is of
8) e 'Mil interest. That paper says:
While tlie apportionment bill is gener
ally regarded as a eempromiae, there
can be 110 doubt that it does injustice to
several states, ineluding New York.
Under its provisions the total member
ship of the house of representatives after
March 4, 1804, will be 356, an increase of
twenty-four over the present number.
No slave iuues a repmontutivv. One
member each is gained by thirteen
states, two each by four states, and
three by one state.

SecK'lurjr William Wtrdom Expired al
Dclmoitlco** Friday Night.
New York, Jan. 31.—The sudden
death of Secretary Window at tlie board
of trade banquet at Delnionico’s is the
solo topic of discussion this morning. lie
laid just finished responding to tiie first
S toast of the eve
ning, and had
sat down, when
liis face became I
deathly pallid,his j
inusclee contract-1
ed, his eyes were i
o’erspread with i
an unearthly film I
and to tlie horror ■
of the festive'
hanquetters he
dropped on the
floor dead. The
william windoh. cause is supposed
to have been heart disease. People
from all iKirts of die banquet hull
rushed to his assistance, hut bis tody
was already cold and die spark of life
extinct.
Tlie hanquetters dispersed to their
homes immediately, and soon Delinon
ico’s banquet hall, which was -to have
been a scene of gayety and revelry until
the early hours of the morning, was dark
and deserted.
Secretary Windom appeared to have
been in tlie lost of spirits. lie chatted
guily with his friends, and the pleasant
greeting between liimsolf tuid ex-Secre
taiy of Htuto Bayard was a subject of
comment.
During tlio progress of the secretary’s
speech it was noted that lie was hurry
ing through it, and at tlie end lie asked
that tliere he no applause.
A few momenta later he was dead.
The news was quickly telegraphed to
President Harrison, who had to break
the news to the members of the secre
tary’s family.
Tlie N©wh Ti'legi-aplicd to Washington.
Washington, Jan. 31.—The news of
the untimely taking off of Secretary
Windom was made known on tlx; streets
here before 10.30 o'clock at night.
It has cast a gloom over the entire
capital,
The dead secretary was personally
popular with both Democrats and Re
publicans, and was unusually well liked
in Washington's social firmament.
He was a progressive, public spirited
citizen, and contributed largely to all
charitable institutions.
The universal sentiment is sorrow,and
men of opposite political opinions are
prompt in expressions und praise for the
man's sterling worth and ability, mid of
sympathy for his bereaved family-
The bereavement in the familes of
Secretaries Blaine and Tracy are recalled,
and the remark is general that more
than tlie usual share of usefulness has
fallen upon the nearest frjends of Presi
dent Harrison.
Tito senate and house both adjourned
a few moments after meeting, ns a mark
of respect to the late secretary of the
treasury.
President and Mrs. Harrison were sit
ting quietly in their private apartments
talking of their family affairs, far from
anticipating tlie sad calamity. The ring
ing of tlie telephone bell, customary as
it is, did not concern tlio president until
the door kee|M>r asked him to answer it.
This unusual siiMiinons at once caused
apprehension, and the prosidont stepped
to tiie instrument with a certain feeling
of anticipated trouble. As the sad tid
ings came to him over the wire, his face
suddenly lost all color and lie dropped
tlio instrument, sliockod beyond expres
sion, and witli a voice full of anguish lie
summoned his carriage mid directed tlie
(xmokman to drive with all haste to Sec
retary Wanmnaker’s, where he was
aware Mrs. Windom was present at a re
ception.
A Brief Life Sketch.
William Windom was born in Ohio, of
Quaker parents. He went to Winona,
Minn., in 1855, having been admitted to
the bar at Mount Vernon two years be
fore.
Mr. Window practiced law until 1859,
when he was elected to congress, being
re-elected for four succeeding terms un
til 11-O'J. In 1871 he was elected United
States senator, and re-elected in 1877.
Re left the senate to enter President
Garfield’s cabinet us secretary of lire
treasury, in 1881, and resigned after Oen.
Arthur’s accession.
After bis defeat for the senate in 1888,
Mr. Window sold his residence in Win
ona, and he has spent the most of his
time in New York city with his family,
wliere his children are being educatod.
Mr. Window lias bconlnterested in
Hie Topoldbampo railway scheme, and
Uk- Bads ship railway. He made an ex
tended trip to Europe two years age
with his family, and again last year he
visited England in tiie interest of these
companies, as well as to forward the in
terests of tho Winona and Southwestern
Railway company, of which he was pres
ident, and which is building a road
from Winona to Omaha. Mr. Window’s
ap|*ointinent as secretary of the treas
ury. was, of course, gratifying to a ma
jority of the citizens of Minnesota, ami
especially Washingtonians, whevo he has

last evening 1111 attempt was made to
murder Lena Marks, about 20 years of
age, who resided with her father.
In the evening Lena left tlie room in
which her father, mother and several
blethers wore seated, and went out to
the bakery, a few rods from tlio house,
whore she was to pick over some fruit.

when the door opened and a stranger
stepped into tlie room. He asked the

that she did not. lie ttien said she did,
and had once refused to dance with hiiu
mid had shut the door in his face. He
askixl her to follow him, and, on her re
fusal to do so, ho turned toward her
with a bottlo and handkerchief in his
liuud*, aud after a moment's struggle
tlie girl lost consciousness.
At nliout II o'clock the family became
alarmed at her absence, and tlie brothers
wout to tlio bakery to find her. She was
found'lying in a pool of blood just out

may ho captured.

and tried to force his attentions upon
her, and afterward lie appeared at the
house as a peddler, and she refused to
look at liis wares. Tlie family is a re

question in the south:
“The race issue is for the southern
' jieople to settle among themselves. If
we had it in Kansas we would resent in
terferanco from outside. It is not a
northern or w estern issue, and the peo

the problem is. Let it alone, and the
two races will come to an agreement far
more satisfactory, intellectually, moral
ly, and in every other way, than any
that can be forced by Federal legislation
or northern lecturing.”
