the local attorney of the Chicago and Rock Island R. R. Co., and the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe R. R. Co., at that place. In March, 1873, Horton was associated with the Hon. Caleb Cushing, of Massachusetts, in the defence of Senator S. C. Pomeroy, before the U. S. Senate Investigating Committee, charged to inquire into certain pretended charges of bribery, connected with the Senatorial election in Kansas, in January, 1873. After a lengthy examination, Senator Pomeroy was acquitted by a majority of the Senatorial Committee. Afterwards the charges against Mr. Pomeroy were dismissed in Kansas, and the case against him never came to trial. In the Fall of 1873, Horton was elected by upwards of 500 majority to the Legislature of Kansas, and took a prominent part in the impeachment of Hon. Josiah E. Hayes, State Treasurer of Kansas. Mr. Horton was chairman of the committee which reported and carried the impeachment through the House, in February, 1874, and was then appointed Chairman of the Board of Managers to prosecute the impeached Treasurer before the State Senate. The State Treasurer then resigned, and the impeachment ended. In politics Mr. Horton is a Republican, but belongs to the Conservative side of the party. The celebrated York-Pomeroy Bribery Case was brought to a final termination on the eleventh of March, 1875, and the $7,000 historic package was turned over to Mr. Pomeroy's counsel, the Hon. A. H. Horton. Great credit is due Judge Horton for his untiring efforts in having such an unjust and malicious prosecution brought to a close. IV. ANNA ELIZA, daughter of Parmenas H. Horton and Milicent Howell (_Barnabas_, _Silas_, _Barnabas_, _Barnabas_, _Caleb I._), born in Middletown, N. Y., 15 Jan., 1830; married in Middletown, 23 March, 1859, by the Rev. Daniel F. Wood, to John Wheeler Gardner, son of John Gardner and Elizabeth Wheeler, and born in Warwick, N. Y., 7 Feb., 1827. Children, born in Middletown: 1. Charles Horton Gardner, born 11 Feb., 1860. 2. John Wheeler Gardner, Jr., born 27 Jan., 1866. They reside in Middletown, N. Y., and rank among the first families of that village. Mrs. Gardner says: "Milicent Howell was the name of both my paternal and maternal grandmothers, and yet they were not at all related as we know of; we have often spoken of it as quite a singular coincidence." Mrs. Gardner was the first to propose a GENERAL GATHERING and SOCIAL UNION and RE-UNION of the Horton family of our country, which is to take place in Philadelphia in July, 1876. VII.
