Trying ToWed A Child.
Lexington, Ky., Nov. 12.—All Ken
lacky is watching; with bated breath,
the efforts of General Cassius M. Clay,
aged 84, to marry his 15-year-old finau
cee, Dora Richardson.
The aged lover procured a license for
t he marriage one day last week and the
ceremony was to have been performed
Saturday, but at last accounts received
today it had not occurred. In fact, the
doughty general is encountering great
difficulty in his effort to wed his child
sweetheart.
The general's children, the most prom¬
inent of whom arc Mrs. Laura Clay, of
this city, president, of the Kentucky Equal
Rights Association, and Brutus Clay, of
Madison county, the best known politi¬
cian in the mountain section of Kentucky,
strenuously object to the match and no
magistrate can be found to perform the
ceremony.
It is possible that the old man and his
infant financee will have to elope. Jo in
cur the ill will of the general's children
would mean political suicide, and hence
Squire Million this morniug declined the
invitation to perform the ceremony.
The general is reported to be iu a rage
at his home, and the neighbors aie
afraid to go near.
General Clay has been acting with un¬
usual eccentricity for two years, and has
lately placed an armed guard around
White Hull. He fancies that he is being
pursued by enemies, and lias picketed
and garrisoned his place to be prepared
for their coming. The knowledge of this
and General Clay's reputation for cour¬
age has effectually shielded him from in¬
trusion for some time.
General Clay is exactly 84 years old.
He retains much of his physical and men¬
tal powers, except that he has grown very
eccentric.
The girl # whoro he arranged to marry
is tin orphan girl named Dora Ricliard
son. She is barely fifteen years old and
has no relatives except two brothers.
f er mother was run over and killed a
'•ear ngo near White Hall by a railroad
rain, and since then Generel Clay has
aken care ot the daughter. He has been
ending her to a neighboring school, and
It was known that lie intended to Educate
er. No one dreamed that he thought of
carriage. Miss Richardson is said to be
. rather [iretty country lass of ordinary
ental attainments. Her parents were
erv poor.
The old home of the Clay' family is a
plendid blue grass estate, ten miles from
tichrnond. It was bought from the Li¬
lians by General Clay’s grandfather, and
no other man outside of the Clay family
ins ever lived on it.
Until two years ago General Clay still
rook an active part in politics and made
•e publican speech-s. Since then be has
occupied himself ia writing an occasion
il letter to the newspapers. The fierce
spirit he showed when he became the first
ibolitiouist of Kentucky and took his
life in his hands to go upon the stump is
inehanged. He once was minister to
tussia.

YVhitecaps On Trial.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 12.—W. II. Morri¬

rison and J. M. Morrison, all hardy look
ng mountaineers from Murray county,
vere arraigned for trial in the United
States court before Judge William T.
Cowman today. They are under indict¬
ment for conspiracy in one of the most
remarkable whitecap eases on record in
Georgia.
One night about a year ago Will Roper,
a stalwart young mountaineer, 25 years
of age, was surprised in his bed by a par¬
ty of masked men. lie had been a wit¬
ness in several revenue cases for the gov¬
ernment and the whitecappers had sworn
vengeance upon his head. After being
dragged out of bed he was bound, hand

rie 1 several miles into the head of the
f'ohutta mountains to an old copper
shaft, which pierced the mountain side to
a depth of sixty feet. Roper was taken
from the mule and after each of his cap
tors had shot a bullet into his body be
was thrown into the copper pit to rot.
After five days he was found by a
mountaineer who was searching-tor stray
cattle. He was still alive and today ap

So Sorry For Mr. Hill.
Fred Holmes, is a democrat, so much
of a democrat, that he broke his pledge
on Tuesday night, drank all the whiskey
in sight, and finally, when the last elec¬
tion returns were at band, shifted his
di inks to Paris green and water and ca’
bolic acid. As a result there was a good
ileal of post election trouble yesterday in
the household of Mr. Holmes at 274
Spring street. By a bare scratch the
vote of the head of the iainily was pre¬
served for another election.
Holmes is a hard working longshore¬
man at the Morgan line pier. lie leaves
his wife and two children at 0 o’clock in
the morning and returns at G p. m,, to
stay at his home until the next day. He
drinks only ©n election days when he
hears that the democrats are wiping up
the ground with the enemy. Aside from
domestic enjoyments, Holmes finds his
only relaxation in the general rejoicing
oVier democratic victories. He was in a
state of nervous anxiety on Tuesday
evening when Tobn McGorman of 278
Spring Street came along where Holmes
was standing in the doorway of 274.
“Hello,” said McGorman, “1 hear that
there ain’t enough left of the republicans
to put in a tin cup.”
“Is that so? Let’s tave a drink,” said
Holmes.
That was a starter for a drink was
pleasant enough and until Holmes went
down to Printing House square and read
the returns. There was not enough whis¬
key in town to dull the shock. He went
back to Spring street and drank at differ¬
ent saloons. Early yesterday morning
1 e went to several drug stores and paint
shops in the neighborhood, and at 9
o’clock returned to bis family, who live
on the fifth floor of an apartment house.
Mrs. Holmes was sitting in a rocking
chair with a baby in her arms.
“Hill is gone to the devil, and 1 am go¬
ing to join him,” said Holmes, “and I am
going tq do it with this.” He threw' a
package on the table in the center of the
room and dropped over on a chair. Mrs.
Holmes jumped from the rocking chair,
with her child in one arm, and reached
for the package, but her husband grasped
her by the hand. The baby fell to the
floor, afid Holmes and wife fought for the
possesrion Of the package. Hrs. Holmes
is a stout Irish woman, and her husband
was weak from the effects of liquor, and
after a short, sharp fight, in which the
parents and the baby were rolled over
and over on the floor, he was finally forc¬
ed to give in. Mrs. Holmes brought her
fist down on his arm, and he released her
left hand, which held the package. Mrs.
Holmes got to her fret, picked up the
package and threw it in the stove. A
blue'flame shot upward.
Holmes dropped overon the sofa again
and whined: /
“Why didn’t you let me have it—Hill is
beaten.”
“Never mind,dear,” saidhis wife. “Just
have a good rest now. There will be an¬
other election next year.”
“But they beat Hill,” moaned Holmes,
“and I want to die.”
Dr. John P. Nolan of 41 Charlton street
was called and prescribed the usual rem¬
edies for post-election paralysis. Holmes
went to sleep and his wife returned to her
household work. While she was iu an¬
other room he sneaked out and returned
an hour later.
“Well, Mary, I guess L fooled you this
time,” he said.
“Of course you did, Fred,” she answer
Ml. “Now do sit down. Maybe the dein
oerats will win next time.”
“1 am sorry, Mary, but I can’t stay
long, I have just taken a big dose of car
bolic acid,” Holmes said ia a pleasant
^ on( ,
The shrieks of Mrs. Holmes brought in
a dozen neighbors', who were sent out for
the priest and the doctor. When the
doctor had arrived, Holmes had derided
life was worth living.
“Take care of me; I don’t want to die!”
lie cried.
Holmes was a bit sick, but ho was able
t„ walk to the M«,legal ttmt pdife
Station, where he told the seigeant that
he had taken a dose of Paris green and a

parody: “Lives of great men oft remind

From Bulloch County comes the story
of an old fellow who got jealous because
his wife went to a ball with a good look¬

day-light. The old chap went to a justice

ing up with, “1 want you to help mo, for
that'ere thing has been going on about
long enough.”
“Well,” says the justice, “you can write
down to Statesborcf nud see if someof the
lawyers can’t get you a divorce.”
“Divorce!” roared the angry man.
“Who the dickens wants a divorce?”

A quack, having invented a wonderful

it in these terms, calculated, we should
think, to convince the most skeptical:
“A little applied totheinkstandhasgiven

ft is pleasant to become a parent; twice

twins; but when it comes to triplets, we
are a little dubious. Now, there dwells
in Screven county a worthy German who
a few years ago was presented by his wife
with a sou. Fritz said to her, “Katrine,

A couple of years later thegood woman
placed before his astonished gaze a
bouncing pair of twins. “Veil,” said
Fritz, “dot ish petter ash der oder dimes.

A WEEK IN WASHINGTON.
President Cleveland is quietly attend¬
ing to his official duties just as though
there had never been such a thing as an
election. He hasn’t said a word on the
subject to anyone who had authority to
male it public, but it is certain that he
has been doing a lob of thinking, and
those able to read between the lines will
be able to form a pretty good idea of the
trend of his thoughts when, in a few weeks,
his annual message to congress shall be
made public. While be has said nothing
publicly, bis closest personal friends have
left the impression upon those with whom
they have talked that the President does
not consider himself in any way respon¬
sible for the unexpected democratic de¬
feat.
While few democrats of any consequence
to be personally quoted on the sub¬
ject of the elections, every one with whom
correspondent has come in contact
agrees that the greatest single source of
democratic troubles bus been the lack of
harmony within the party, which was
made so painfully apparent during the
last session of congress. The result of
the election is merely an application of
the proverb—“United we stand, divided
we fall,” and the lesson must be taken to
and profited by if the party is to
into the campaign of '00 with a rea¬
chance to win. “A house divided
itself must fall.”
Senator Faulkner, Chairman of the
Democratic Congressional Campaign
committee: rises from the wreck to say a
few words, which are both explanatory
ard wise. He says: “The history of poli¬
tics will show that every land-slide is the
of a dissatisfaction, discontent and
want of confidence in the members of the
majority party, whose action produces
the result that surprises and astonishes
the people—not by voting the opposite
ticket, but slinpl.v by remaining away
from the polls. The result of thiselection
when ascertained will, I am sure, verify
this conclusion. We have os many voters
in the country hr we had in ’02, who be¬
lieve in the principles of the democratic
party, but the recent business paralysis,
financial string“nc.v, economical legisla¬
tion—the benefits of which have uot been
developed—party dissentions, crimina¬
tions and recriminations resulted in such
apathy ns to cause the stay-at-home
vote to produce the surprising result.
That is my honest judgment. If we hope
for success iu '00 we should maintain with
fearlessness and determination the atti¬
tude assumed iu ’02; let personal and
party bickerings of the past bury their
and unite in an earnest effort to
harmonize those differences which have
seriously affected onr organization.”
gulling enough to democrats in Washing¬
ton, but there was another tiling con¬
nected therewith that was evenmoregall
ing to democrats. That was, that some
of the loudest cheers from the crowds
which surrounded the newspaper bulletins
with all the eagerness of a Presidential
election, when the news was favorable ,to
the republicans, cuine from the mouths
of republicans who bold office under the
democratic administration.
The friends of Reed, Harrison and Mc¬
Kinley are very much alarmed at the
prominence of Morton as a Presidential
candidate. They know that Tom Platt
intended when he nominated Morton for
governor of Now York to push him for
the Presidential nomination of his party,
if he succeeded in getting him elected gov¬
ernor, and they know that Morton's bar¬
rel will be on top at the next republican
national convention, and they fear it.
The Washington democrats, who all
belong to the never-say-dio family, think
they are playing in hard luck indeed, this
wee k, They stood up under the election
returns with all the stoicism with which
they have in the pust received a long
Ht ring oI national defeats, comforting
themselves with the reflection “we’ll lick
