JJOf CONFESSES MUKDER
Say He Arid His Mother Killed
His Father FiTe Years
Ago.
Middlesboro, Ky., ,Peb. 9.
Abput five pears ago the com
muftity was startled by the as
sassination of Thomas Howard, a
yyelLrknown lumberman. "While
he was eating his supper, a shot
was fired through the window,
killing him. No clue could ever
be found to the assassin, This
afternoon John Lewis Howard,
his fifteen-year old son, who is
dying of consumption, sent for
the town officers and to them
confessed that he and his mother,
Amanda Howard, did the killing.
He described how his mother ar
ranged the table so that his fath
er could sit with his back to the
window while eating, how he
placed a rifle on the outside of
the house before his father came
in, how the shooting was done.
Upon his confession Mrs. Howj
rd was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Charlie Cecil. She will
be held under guard till tomor
row morning-, when she will
have her hearing.
The Key. George Alien Married.
Poughkeepsie-, Feb. 9. The!
Re?. George Allen, of Milton,!
and Miss Minnie Gedney were
married at Milton, N. Y., to-day.
Tbe wedding is the culmination of
a tragical romance. A few months
ago the wedding was set, and the
young clergyman attempted sui
cide by shooting. He recovered,
Miss Gedney having nursed him
through his suffering. He was for
several weeks a sufferer from his
self-inflicted wounds. He blames
his rashness to overwork and ner
vousness, and Miss Gedney be
lieved him. The congregation still
believe in the young pastor, and
-a. big reception will be tendered
him and his bride when they re
turn.
War Figures.
Philadelphia Times.
Our Spanish war was neither
a great conflict nor of long dura
tion, and the Philippine rebellion
which followed it has never ris
en to the dignity of a great strug
gle, Fighting at long range,
even wheu there is little real
fighting to be done, is expensive;
however, and the figures furnish
ed by the various departments at
Washington show that war, even
on a small scale, comes high.
The total cost to date, includ
ing the $20,000,000 paid for the
Philippines of the combined mil
itary and naval operations since
the outbreak of Spanish hostili
ties, is $355,000,000, of which the
hon'a share, or 1255. 000. 000, has
been spent upon the army. Of
the $69,000,000 expended upon
the nayy a goodly portion at
least may be classed as anexpen
diture ."of a permanent character
which will have a future value.
Tbe vessels purchased or built,
with their armaments, constitute
an important addition to our na
val equipment.
Great as the expenditure has
been the country can well afford
it, in view of the wonderful ex
pansion of our commerce, which
is certain to follow. When to this
is added the greater motive for
the war, the overthrow of Span
ish tyranny in the West Indies
and the Philippines, there will be
few to criticise the government
of the United States for engag
ing in it, costly as it has proven
to be.

Blizzards and Tornadoes Sweep
Oyer The West
St. Louis, Feb, 8. A tornado
swept through eastern Illinois
and western Indiana today, in
juring at least 15 people and lev
eling houses, telegraph poles
and other structures.
The storm seems to have pass
ed down the Indiana-Illinois line
to EvansvilkV and the reports
from many places indicate that
the wind reached almost the ve
locity of a tornado at many
points.
Near the village of Cantane,
111,, not far from Collinsville, a
large farm house was completely
destroyed. The farmer and the
members of his family escaped.
In the same locality a mile and a
half of telegraph lines was
blown down and much debris
piled on the track of the Van
dalia Railroad. The farmer
whose home had been destroyed.
while out looking for b;s livejaDa American tongue taKe cnarge
stock, noticed that the track of j of a subject they invariably lead
the railroad was obstructed, and
hurrying west a mile, he flagged
No. 14, the fast passenger train,
due in lndiauapons at 8:20
o'clock. It was not yet daylight,
and the officers of the road say
that the train would surely have
been wrecked but for the warn
ing of the farmer.
St. Louis, Feb. 8. The town
of Collinsville, 12 miles from St.
Louis, on the Vandalia railroad,
narrowly escaped destruction by
a tornado to-day. Fifteen persons
were injured in the immediate vU
cinity of the village, some of them
fatally, and there was much dam
age to property. The miners who
live on tho outskirts lost most se
verely by the wind. A group of
three fine residences standing on
a hill were reduced to splinters.
About 2:30 a. m. the storm
was felt at a point one mile south
of Collinsville. The first house
demolished was that occupied by
Frank Kobart. He, his son and
daughter, were buried in the de
bris, and it was some time before
shey were rescued, bruised and
bleeding from the wreckage. Thev
were carried to a neighbor's house
and given such care as could be
had until physicians arrived from
the village. The great smokestack
of the Hight Club Coal building
was leveled and the building was
somewhat damaged. From there
the wind swept to the Vandalia
tracks, laying waste telegraph
poles for a distance of a quarter
of a mile. Beyond tbe Vandalia
tracks several large frame houses
were leveled and nothing is left
save a mass of tangled wreckage.
War to the End.
Frankf ort, Ky., Feb. 9, Govs

Agreement
Hangs
Fire.
It is plain that the war with a
gun is ended in Kentucky, and a
war with pen and tongue inaugu
rated. When the American pen
on to a result that is at least en
durable. This will be the case be-
Jyond reasonable doubt in Ken
tucky . The haggling over terms
may consume some time, but the
longer the time the less likely an
outburst of passion.
The Democrats are, of course,
contending for full possession of
the State government, and the
Republicans want above all else a
repeal of the Goebel law, which is,
to say the least, an unnecessary
law in Democratic Kentucky. If
the Democrats of that State will
pull themselves together they do
not need any such law, and its re
peal as a means to peace and
Democratic supremacy should be
1 conceded, and is conceded in the
Louisville agreement, but not in
terms explicit and definite enough
to suit Mr.Taylor and his friends
who are holding the fort at Frank,
fort. Neither party to the Louis
ville agreement can afford to be
tricky and dishonest. A public
agreement should be fully and
honestly carried out, and there is
no reason to doubt that the Louis
ville compact . would be kept to
the letter.
In the course of the conflict
which will doubtless be known in
history as Taylor's Rebellion
two blunders were made by the
State House crowd, namely, the
detention of Alonzo Walker, and
the removal of the legislature to
London. But Walker has been
turned loose, and the legislature
at London cannot muster -a quo
rum. These blunders have there
fore proven harmless, and Taylor
is practically a prieoner himself
in the State house. He does not
hold much else. He is therefore
ready to negotiate.
It will be a relief to American
institutions when the disgraceful
Kentucky muddle is put out of
sight. The Goebel law is not an
ideal measure, and the attempt
on the part of Taylor to override
ana disperse toe legislature was
essentially revolutionary in its
nature. It was done in the teeth
of the constitution of the State,
which provides that 'contested
elections for governor and lieu
tenant governor shall be deter
mined by both houses of the gen
eral assembly according to such
regulations as may be established
by law." The Goebel law
was passed before Tay
lor became a candidate, and
it was his duty to obey it,
and to accept its operations, tak
ing an appeal to the people at
the next general election in the
state if any injustice were done
under it. This be did not do, and
on this account the de facto gov
ernor will stand condemned. He
attempted a revolution on the
plea that 'insurrection" existed
throughout the state. He dispers
ed the legislature, ordering it to
meet in a distant "fued" county.
He claimed to act under this pro-
vision of the State constitution:
"Th9 first general ssembly
and the members of w' tch shall
be elected under the institution
shall meet, on the fir Monday in
January, 1894, and ereafter the
general assembly snail meet on
the same day every second year,
and its session shall be held at the
seat of government, except in
case of war, insurrection or pes
tilence, when it may, by procla
mation of the governor, assemble
fcr the time beiug elsewhere,"
This provision manifestly re
fers to thg organization of the
legislature. Oace organized, as
the legislature was, ic was itself
the judge as to whether -'insur-rection"
existed or not, and a joint
resolution instead of a proclama tion
from the executive house
would make the fact known. Tay
lor imagined himself another
Cromwell, and he attempted to
disperse the Kentucky parlia
ment without a shadow of right
to do so. He has won the unen
viable reputation of being the first
American who ever "run" a leg"
islature out of a state house by
force. He became himself an in
surrectionist, surrounded by
more of the same sort armed with
Winchesters.
