The City of Paris Broke Her Shaft.
LiverpooI, April: 15. The Liver
pool Post of to-day fully confirms, under
the special head "Important Discov
ery," the. report cabled on April 11
concerning the City of Paris. W hen
the ship-was docked on Friday morn
ing and the water allowed to run out of
her the dry casing covering the screw
shaft was removed and the whole outer
shaftiner fell into the dock, A later
inspection to-day showed that the
length of the shaft within the stern
tube had broken clean off just where
the flange was coupled to the interme
diate shaft. .Crowds of experts, who
daily visit the ship, express astonish
ment at the nature of the accident, and
all believe that when the shaft broke
the engine began to race, thus causing
the breakdown. Passengers whose
berths were over the shaft confirm the
statement that a whirring sound pre
ceded the explosion. '

Chester ChurchiTo-SIorrow.
Washington, -April 15.- At the ur
gent request of a number of members
of the House of Representatives, Mr.
O'Neill, of Pennsylvania, called at the
residence of the deceased Congress
man to ascertain Mrs. Randall's wishes
in regard to the" funeral ceremonies.
There was an earnest desiro on ; the
'part of the members that the funeral
should assume a national character,
andjthat the ceremonies should be cele
brated in the chamber whlsh has been
the scene of the dead statesman's du
ties and labors. Mrs. Randall, while
appreciating fully the friendship and
affection which instigated Mr. CNeill's
action, and while . being thankful to
Mr. Randall'e colleagues for their de
sire to do him honor, decided that the
original programme should be carried
out and that the ceremonies should
toke place in the church. This is in
accordance with the wishes of the de
ceased. Among the telegrams of condolence
received by Mrs. Randall to-day was
the following from ex-President Cleveland:-
"Accept my sincere sympathv
in your great aflliction and be assured
that the American people will remem
ber with gratitude the devotion of
your distinguished husband to his pub
lic duties." . I
The services of George G. Meade
Post, No. 1, G. A. R , of Philadelphia,
of which Mr. Randall was a member,
have been accepted PS an escort from
the railroad station to the grave. The
members of the appropriations com
mittee of the House this afternoon
called in a body at the Randall resi
dence to view the remains of their dead
colleague, and to express to the sorrow
ing widow their tender sympathy. In
the list of honorary pall bearers sent
last night the name . of Postmaster
General Wanamaker was accidentally
omitted.
A Missouri Tragedy.
Doniphan, Mo., April,15.--Two of a
gang of four masked- men who visited;
the residence of an old man named
Holland, living near here last Saturday
night for the purpose of whipping him,
were killed by Holland's fourteen
year old son. Ed. Gilliam, Jr. one of
those killed, was the son of a well-to-po
farmerof that section and the
other, Alexander Gatewood, bore an
unenviable reputation. Upon the ar
rival of ithe Ku-Klux at Holland's
house, one of the gang held the horses
while the others forced their way Into
the dwelling. They knocked the old
man down and were kicking him when
the boy opened fire on them with a
double barrelled gun, killing Gilliam.
Gatewood attempted to shoot the boy,
but his gun missed fire, and the lad
emptied ttie contents of his second bar
rel into Gatewood's breasts. The men
then ran out of the . house but Gate
wood fell and lay all night, dying
shortly after he was found in the morn
ing. The identity of the other Ku
Klux is unknown.
Iteferred to a Sab-Committee.
Washington. April 15. The Sen
ate and House Republican committees
on the silver question were in joint
session two hours this morning. Very
radical differences in the views of the
Senators and Representatives were dis
closed by the discussion, but an earnest
purpose was shown to harmonize tho
differences, if possible; One of the
chief points upon which the committees
could not agree, was the proposed in
crease of! national bank circulation.
Such a proposition, it was said, could
not secure a majority vote in the House.
Finally it was decided to commit the
subject to a sub-committee of five Sen
ators and five Representatives who
will continue the work of hunting for a
common ground upon which they can
stand. ; .
The Motion Was not Made.
Raleigh, April 15. Special.

he'returned to-day. He, however, saw
Mr. Samuel F. Phillips, who is asso
ciated with Mr. Andre ws of New
York, of counsel for the bond holders,
and Mr. Phillips promised that the
motion should not be called up before
the 23th instant, when it will probably
