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. AT SHERIFF’S AUCTION. Valtiuble Pennsylvania Iron Plant and Ore Lands Sold.

HE SPOKE AND DIED. 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 lived so iong. Since Mr. Window's acceptance of the treasury portfolio in Harrison's cabinet, lie has of course lived in Washington, His financial policy has not been entirely acceptable to the people of tlte country, but his reputation as a man of ability and financial integrity has Deen un sullied, The secretary loaves a wife and several children. Mr. Window is popularly supposed to have been wealthy, but tliose in a posi tion to know say that a quarter of a million would be a liberal estimate of bis ]xjesessioiiß. nac-t at Half Mwf. Washington, Jan. 31.—The president, through the secretary <4 state, has di rected that all the executive depart ments be closed on the day of Secretary Window's funeral, and that flags on ail public buildings throughout the Oiutniry lie placed at half maat on that day. ( of Hlit Nkw York, Jan. 31.—Physicians and the coroner now say that Secretary Window died of valvular disease of the heart, and not ai>oplexy, as was at tirst supposed. ATTEMPT AT MURDER. A limits Women's Throut Cut liy a Man She V-.ml Sptu-iietL Utica, N. Y., Fell. 4.—ln the town of Newey, about five miles from this city, 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. She had been there hut a few minutes when the door opened and a stranger stepped into tlie room. He asked the girl if she knew him, and she replied 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 side tlie bakery door, with her throat cut from one side to the otlior. SIIO was taken to tlie liou.-e and a doctor sent for. After hours of work the girl became con scious, and though she is badly wounded and lost a large quantity of blood, it is now liolieved she will recover. Tiie doctor thinks the girl was first criminally Assaulted, nnd that iier as sailant then attempted murder to escA[>o detection. She is still too weak to tell tlie story in all its details. Enough has been learned to know that she knows who her assailant is, and, though she does not know his name, it is probable that, from her description of him, lie may ho captured. Tlie man liad iuot her once at a dance, 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 spected German family, and tlio young lady is very comely and bright DIED OF HER INJURIES. A School Toucher AMNUultnd for Coriect ltt£ h Scholar.
