His Neighbors Bejolce at Bis rth-Though 70 Yearn Old nil Feared Him -A Mutch of Ills History, Gainesville, November 17. Near Jimtown, I. thirty miles northwest of Gainesville, on Monday last, the notorious Captain John Miller was killed by one of his tenants named Jim Abies.

From the account given, it appears that Jim Abies had rented a piece of ground from Captain Mil ler, and they were farming on shares, about three-quarters of a mile from Jimtown. Miller is alleged to have stated that Abies had gone to St, Joe, and purchased goods and left him to pay for them. Abies went to Miller and asked him to retract this statement, as there was no truth in it. Miller denied having mado any such statement, and the matter vested. Abies proceeded to gather his cotton, having about two days' picking in the field, when some person or persons carried off 234 pounds of his seed cotton.

The tracks of the horses and men were measured and corresponded with tho tracks of Bill '''nomas and John Parker and their horses. These men live near to and were the friends of Captain John Miller. They were charged with the theft of the cotton, and this made Miller very angry. He said the cotton had not been f-tolen, but that Abies had run it off to avoid paying his debts. Monday afternoon Abies left the field, where ho was at work, to get some water from a well near by.

Miller was about sixty yards distant, and whon ha saw Abies he remark, "Now is as gojd a time as any to settle ihis litfle thing." Saying this he started toward ths well, with an opeu pocket-knife in his hund. The well was snrrtiunded by a rail fence, and as Miller started to git over the fence he paid to Abies; "You or one has got to die!" Abies saw him place his hand behind him in a threatening manner, end, drawing a pistol from his pocket, he pulled the trigger and Miller tell dead with a bullet through his brain. Md er's head was bent forward and the bullet entered the head just above the hat-band directly over the left eye, and and came out at the back of his head, killing him instantly. Miller was an old man, said to be 70 years of ago, but did not appear to be more than 50. He was well-preserved and muscular and more than a match for Abies.

Some two years ago hs was tried at Fort Smith for murder, and while there stated to a press representative that he hud killed twenty-nine men. Just before his tragic end he told some of his neighbors that he had killed thirty-two men two of the-n having beeu killed on his present place. He is said to be a native of Mississippi, ami went from there to Missouri, where he enlisted in the army and commanded a company for four years. After the war he removed to Texas, and served a term in the state penitentiary on aooount of the murder committed in Parker county. Ho was regarded as a desperate man, and his neighbprs dreaded a difficulty with him, and all are much rejoiced over his tragio end.

Abies left here to-day for Fort Smith, to deliver himself to the United States authorities. KANSAS WOMEN, the State Equal Suffrage Directing; A Kansas Council of AVotncn.

An Interesting Arrav of Reasons The Democrats Could JSot be Aruised The Strong Jiut Ijiutuccessful fcllorts iUhiIo. Indianapolis, November 10.

Gov ernor Gray was entirely serene in manner and philosophical in mood at the state house to-day. He had acoepted the results and was w.lling, after a little reflection, to discuss the causes of defeat and givo his view of the proper policy of his party to pursue in regard to the tariff issue. To the inquiry, "What did it in Indiana?" he replied rather seiitentiously: "Votes." "But what made the votes?" he was askedV The governor looked out of the window thoughtfully and thij question was added suggestively: "Was it money?" "No," (ha governor said, "money was nsed to some extent. It always is in eloo- tionp, but the purchasable element in In diana is no larger than it is anywhere The governor said this with some as if repelling an insinuation against hi people. are other he went on: two years ago there was somie feeling in this state of diseatisf action with the presid dent's course.

Many republicans were in office. The postal Btrvioe in ludiana whs, and still full of republicans. I am not saying that the feeling was jusi. I am not criticising the president's coursa. I aux only referring to a condition of sentiment which existed at that time.

When this paign came on I thought that feeling unfavorable to the administration had died out. But there wa3 probably more of it than showed openly. It aeanis so now. Aa the campaign progressed we found it hard to awaken the tnthusiaam which means sue-' csss. There wasn't that spirit among Indiana democrats which men to throw up their hits and tear their olothei for the ticket, as you might say." DEMOOEATIO APAXBTX.

The governor dwelt for some little time on the extent of the apathy among Indiana democrats, and his manner showed that he regarded that as the most striking factor iu contributing to defeat in Indiana. Replying to inquiries, he said tho party management in the state had been all that could be desired. The leaders ot the party had done their very be3t to hold Indiana in the democratic column. He did not think that any fault could be attributed to the national committee. The committee had treated Indiana fairly, so far as he but the faofc remained deeply impressed on his mind that it had been impossible to awaken among Indiana democrats tnat enthusiasm, or.

aa lie once more expressed "tnat reel ing which prompts men to throw up their hats and tear their clothes for the ticket." "I observed the absence of that peculiar enthusiasm," Governor Gray continued, "when President Cleveland visited indiau-apolis. You might have expected Indiana democrats would go wild over their president, but they didn't. I was afraid then that it would be hard to aroose the party for him in this state. There was, of course, gt eat curiosity to see the president, and a creat crowd and warm applause; but there was not that warmth, that intensity of feeling, which we know leads to democratic success in this state." Governor Gray at this point dropped into an interesting analysis of the character of Indiana democracy. He said the party in this state was somewhat peculiar.

Indiana democrats were not only loyal to their party they were more than that. Ihey were intense in their devotion to party. He proceeded to show how Indiana democrats, holding such sentiment had judged the national administration by their Btandard of democracy and had found it wanting. IT WAS BUT NAT0BAL. The resultant lnkowarmness was oniy nat-aral, but not for a momen' did the governor admit that the dissatisfaction with the administration was the disappointment over the slow distribution of spoils, lie pictured the zeal of the Indiana democracy, which had been so chilled by the administration, as something better than tho office-seeking spirit.

It was the strongest type of party fealty. To a question if personal pride in the candidate had helped General Harrison to carry the state, he said that some voters had probably been influenced by that feeling, but not many. No other conclusion conld be drawn from the returns. When all were in, he thought that it would be found that General Hovey, the republican nominee for governor, and the most of the state tioket had run pretty close to Harrison and Morton at any rate within a few hundred votes. Governor Gray referred to the returns from this (Marion) county, as dispelling any theory that state or pride in the candidates had had much to do with the result.

Marion oounty, the home of Harrison, gave a plurality for Blaine in 1884, and now went for Cleveland by a plurality, a democratic gain of several hundreds. PERSONAL ANTAGONISMS. To the inquiry if he thought the personal friends of Hendricks had been lukewarm because of the feeling that the president had not treated the late vice president fairly, the governor replied that that might have been the case in some instances, but he did not think personal antagonisms were to be considered responsible for the results. hat will be the effect of this upon fha democratic party?" he was asked. "Willi! cause the darty to recede in ony degree from the position on tariff reform?" "No," he replied promptly and with emphasis, "the party will go on in the course ithaschoeen.

When a patty has taken a position it believes and feels is right, it makes nothing by abandoning or changing the position." "You think then, that this campaign doesn't end it; that the tariff question will continue to be the great isue between the parties and the democrat will stick to their side?" "Yes, 1 do," said the governor; and he went on to amplify his view, that the democrats should, without the slightest wavering, maintain their p' siiion on this issne. and keep np the fight in succeeding campaigns. While he looked upon the tariff question as only a minor factor in particular contest in Indiana, he thought it was the great issue in the country at large, and that the democraoy would eventually win by sticking to their side of it consistently. He declared emphatically that it would be the greatest folly for the party to retrace its steps or in any way to dodge the issne, and expressed great confidence that the democrats would continue the fight for tariff reform more aggressively than ever. Governor Gray was.

asked if there was any tariff reform significance in the gain of democratic congress men in Indiana. THE NAVY. Its Prestint Strength and Condition of the Vesnels, Washington, November 17. Chief constructor of the navy Theodore Wilson, hae submitted to Secretary Whitney his annual report of the operations of h'i3 bureau dur mg the las fiscal year. It shows that the turn of was expended in the repair of ships, purohase of tools, etc The payments mode on account of vessel building under contract up to October 31 last, aggre ate $3,208,195.

The report that the old sloop of war, Hartford, can be repaired for $175,000, and would be valuable for service as a cruiser for several years. Ho adds that her past record, of Admiral Farragut's flag Fhip, victorious in battle, bath over ironclads and forts, not only endears her to the American people but when she has outlived her usefulness as a cruiser, she should be preserved as a receiving ship, as a monument of her pat achievements. Tools are now being delivered to the New York and Norfolk yards, mid the chief constructor says that we shall soon be in pos session of two yards well equipped for building steel and iron vessels of war, of every size and type.

Of the Mare Island, California yard he says: "That being the only one on the Pa cilic coast it is now being fitted with a com plete outfit of modern ship bmldmg tools. The climate is suoh that it is perfectly practicable to conduct ship buildiug without the ship houses, which are expensive, both in first cost and repair, nnd do not favor rapidity of construction or excollence of workmanship, on acoount of the darkness.
