warrautH for abeonteeH none of whom
were in the city a lluul vote waa taken
ou the adoptiou of the preamble ami
resolution. Not a ulngle republican
member had bin vote recorded and
but two democratic members Mr.
Mills of ToxiiH and Mr. Morse of
Massachusetts voted in the negative.
The atllrmutlve vote was a hundred
and forty-seven ivid tlio preamble and
resolution were declared adopted.
There was a good deal of coufuslou
uproar and excitement throughout the
body but no demonstration attended
the announcement of the result. Mr.
Uteveua did not vote an he waa paired.
An inoldeut occurred over thin ques
tion of pairs which at one time
threatened to be serious. Mr. Goode
of Virglula had been paired with Mr.
Loiltig of Massachusetts who was in
the city but sick and was when Mr.
Qoode stated the fact he had given no-
tice to Mr. Lorlug of the termination
of the pair and that under the cir-
cumstances be felt It his duty to vote.
A sneering remark that it was bIiui
ply a question of honor was made by
Mr. Conger of Michigan. Mr. Uoode
retorted with a strong feeling of in-
dignation that he would take care of
bis own honor and that if Mr. Conger
assailed him (Qoode) he would hold
him to a persoual responsibility. The
response was loudly applauded on the
democratic side and was received with
jeers and contempt and luughter on
the republican side.
Mr. Conner remarked sarcastically
that Mr. Goode's threat was makiug
him tremble in his boots.
Mr. Goode's remark was objeoted to
by Mr. Hale of Maine as being un-
parliamentary nut tneBpeaKer ueciueu
that the first offense had been given
by Mr. Conger and that it would be as
reasonable to expeot a child not to
" holler " when struck as to expect a
man not to resent an insult. The
speaker's ruling gave intense satisfac
tion to the democratic side aud oorresn
ponding displeasure to the republicans.
Mr. Potter of JSew YorK win De
chairman of the select committee.
Tt Is understood as soon as possible
after its organization the sub-oom
mlttees will be appointed and will
proceed to Florida and Louisiana. It
is expected that Mr. Bpringer of Illi-
nois will be a member of the commit'
tee and probably chairman of the
Florida sub-committee. It Is very
probably that the republicans will
offer resolution to extend the inves
tigation to Oregon Mississippi South
Carolina and other states.!

The court of appeals has reversed
ml remanded for a new trial this
most remarkable case The readers of
TitH l(KiiALi) will remember that In
August IH7d the Englaud family
consisting of father mother daughter
aud two sons one uf whom escaped
were murdered lu Montague county iu
cold blood the act being oue of the
most heluuus aud blood-curdling uiurs
ilers on record In this state.
Old inau Knglaud was a Baptist
preacher but did uot depend upou bis
calling for a support but with the aid
of his sous made a comfortable living
by hard toll ou his farm One bright
moonlight night tu the mouth and

bad not retired aud on going
to the room lu which they were sit-
ting the meu began shooting promis-
cuously at them bitting the mother lu
the body who ran out lu the yard
closely pursued by the murderous
fiends. While her mother was run-
ulng her daughter a girl some seven-
teen years old oalled out to her "Old
Krebbs Is shooting me" and the next
lustautslio lay a corpse ou the ground.

The mother stumbled and fell and
her pursuer thinking that she was
dead abandoned bis work aud returned
to his oomrades. Regaining her feottu
her bewilderment she ran through the
bouse aud while doing so saw oue of
the meu cutting tbe throat of her aged
husband who sat In a chair. Hhe ran
as fust as she could to a neighbor's
where she related as best she could
the terrible occurrence and soon the
shooilng news spread like wlldilre
over the country.
body of thirty urmed men were
soon upon thasoene where they found
the murdered bodies of the old man
bis daughter and youngest son who
had ulso been slaughtered. Strange to
relate the oldest sou had escaped
without bulug so much as shot at
milking bis way safely to u neigh-
bor's bouse.
The man named Krebbs
whose name called out by the
dying girl lived about a quar-
ter of a mile from tho murdered fam
ily aud it was a well known fact lu
that neighborhood that he eutertalued
any but friendly feelings towards
Eugland's family Boarding at his
house at tbe time was a young man
named Taylor and a maa named
Preston who owned a plantation lu
that neighborhood but bis wife hav-
ing died be had lived about
In different places spending a
a part of his time at Krebb's. Mrs.
England died the next day but before
her death she made a dying declara-
tion that the murderers were Krebbs
aud Preston or "a Dutchman and a
tall young man with light moustaohe."
The son that escaped said that he
did not recogul8 iu the murderers
either Krebbs Preston or a youug
mau named Zaoharlah Taylor
who was suspected as being the one
referred to by Mrs. England but did
recognize iu the persou an older
brother of youug Taylor. Heariug of
this tbe three men acoused went to
the home of tbe murdered family
while the armed force were yet there
and presented themselves when they
were arrested and held for trial.
It was stated by witnesses in the
trial that Preston and Krebbs
had blood on their shirt fronts. Be
fore Mrs. England died tin oue oalled
tbe "Dutchman" Was oarried before
her but she failed to reoognize bin) as
being one of the murderers. Preston
begged to be taken before the woman
but from some unknown reason it was
never done. Tracks were found lead
ing from the house which were traced
to that of Krebbs and the shoos worn
by the eldest Taylor corresponded ex
actly with them.
Old man England had but a short
time before he met bis horrible death
preached tbe funeral sermon of tbe
wife of Preston. Krebbs' wife and
children and a number of children
visiting tbe bouse swore that the three
acoused men were at home at tbe time
of the shooting which they all dis
tinctly heard.
Old man England was an outspoken
man and had been a denouncer of dis-
order and It is claimed by the friends
of tbe accused that some of the out
law! of the oountybad committed the
crime.
KrebbsPreston and Taylor were soon
thereafter arrested and Indloted for
the murder. Krebbs waa first convict
ed and tbe death penalty fixed as bis
punishment. Young Taylor was next
tried and oonvloted and his punish
ment assessed at oontltiement in tbe
penitentiary for life he being under
the age wherein the death penalty can
be Inflicted. James Preston took a
obauge of venue to Cook county and
In July 1877 his case waa tried and
after a long and hotly contested
trial a verdict of guilty was ren
Uered aud his punlahmeut fixed
at death from which be appealed
to the higher court where the case
was argued and submitted on the 4lu
Instant. The decision was rendered
by tbe court ou Thursday This case
has excited much Interest throughout
the state. AU admit that the murder
was a very cruel aud Inhuman one.
But the defendant Preston was cons
vlotod tuululy upuu prejudice Which
it Is said was very great at tbe time of
the trial. The evidence anal us t him
was solely circumstantial lie proved
snub facts as conclusively established
bis Innocence and auionu other thlnua
the most lutlmate terms of friendship
with the murdered family No motive
was shown why he should turn demou
lu his old age with a large family of
chlldreu around him aud murder hie
must lutlmate friends.
Preston Is of a good family. He la
honorably oounected in this oountv.
aud is related tu the Prestous of Kens
tucky aud Virglula whose names are
among the best iu the oountry.
Messrs Hurt aud Smith of this
city represented the defendants In tbe
case They have had a world of cir-
cumstantial evidence to oouteud
agiilust and should the defendant es
cape entirely the handling uf the
case will be as remarkable as the case
