Ilattlo In a Chapel.

ANDKRRO.V, Ind., Jan. 10. Forest chapel is a modest country church situated in the edge of a forest of oalcs, elm, hickory, ash, beech and other natural forest trees 5 miles southwest of this city. The community surrounding it, were it not for the LawsonSwinford vendetta, would be a quiet and peaceable one. '1'he Lawsons are Kentuckians and number fully a score. They are long, withy and full of light. The .Swinfords, who live in acommunily a mile from the Lawson settlement, are clannish and have been for years deadly enetaies of the Lawsons. Sunday the two factions fought in the chapel immediately after the services. When the smoke of battle had cleared away and order was partially restored the following list of casualties was found as a result of the fight:

In the LawHoti Party—Hill l.awsoii. two cuts on head, nose smashed, anil *kull fractured will probably die. Suint MunK bruised and cut about head and face seriously hurl. Arthur l^awson, several bruises and cuts :tnd weak from loss of blood. Irviu Lawson. seven bad outs on the scalp reported dead line In the evening.

POPULISTS NOW RULE.

Lewoliing: Inaugurated (iovornor of Knu-siis-SynopGls of tils Address. TOPEKA, Kan., .Ian. 10.—The triumph of the populists of Kansas, made possible at the polls in November, was fulfilled a few minutes after noon Monday when the state government was formally surrendered by the vanquished to the victors and Gov. Lewelling was inaugurated. The ceremony took place in the hall of the house of representatives and was witnessed by probably the greatest crowd that has ever assembled in Kansas on a similar occasion.

After Gov. Humphrey, the retiring executive, had made a brief address, he introduced Gov.-Elect Lewelling, whose appearance was the signal for a heart}' demonstration. Upon quiet being restored the govcruur-elect spoke at some length, a syonopsis of his remarks being as follows:

He srtid that the '•survival of the Httet* was the government of brutes ami reptiles. utnl such philosophy must give pl ic« to a ^overtiment which rceogmze.s human brotherhood to protect the rights of the Uiborer and producer, that sectional nr'mo^itius bo forgotten. The state, he continued, wsis grrsitor than party, but the citixcn is greater than tho state, while tho furnily ly the priceioss jewel of our civilization. The problem was bow to make the state subservient to the individual, rather than to become his master. The povermnent then must make it possible for the citizen to live by his own labor. If it falls of thewe things it ceases to be of advantage ti the citizen. He is absolved from hi* allegiance and is no longer held the civil compact. But government Is noi a failure. This is the generation which has corue to the rescue. Conscience is in the saddle ami the grandeurof civilization shall be emphasized by the dawn of the new era,.in which the people, shall reign, "when the withered hund of want shall not be outstretched for churity, v. hen lib erty, equality and justice shall have permanent abiding places in this republic.'' i* Having finished his speech Gov. Leweliing waived his hand in. token that he desired the audience to cease its applause. When the applause had subsided the oath of office was administered by Chief Justice Hor'j'ii,

IILAINIC IS I) YIN, .TON, Jan. 10, 3 Dr.

WASMIN

Johnston was summoned to the Maine mansion shortly before I o'clock this morning, and a few moments later informed a correspondent that Mr. Blaine was sinking rapidly. He returned to the bedside of the patient, saying that he would remain there until daybreak.

It is not believed Mr. Blaine can rally from this sinking spell, though the powerful restoratives which were probably at once administered may cause him to retain his hold on life a few hours. But he is dying and it seems now to be only a question of hours until the end comes.

Story of the Day.

The day for the family and friends of Mr. Blaine was one of constant strain. When Dr. Johnston came away from the house soon after sunrise the air was murky and chill and it was recalled that this was the weather which in the beginning of Mr. Blaine's illness was so much dreaded for its effects on his spirits.

The front of the house, was opened and through the windows, the interior exhibited signs of activity, betokening the beginning of another day's work. The few early visitors hurried by the house without stopping to inquire of more than Mr. Blaine's condition. The fact that he waa yet alive seemed to satisfy them.

A Pcaeefnl Night.

When Dr. Johnston appeared, without waiting for the questions of the reporters, he said: "Mr. Blaine has passed a peaceful night. It was very like that of a well man. lie has been awake only when it was necessary to give him medicine or nourishment

Inquiries at the house were met with the statement that Mr. Blaiue was resting quite easily, though very weak. Dr. Hyatt came at 0 o'clock, and remained till the return of Dr. Johnston, a couple of hours later. Some members of the cabinet and a few personal friends were admitted to the house during the morning.' while President Harrison in the white house was kept informed of every change. Mr. Blaine's sister-in-law. Miss Dodge (Gail Hamilton*, earne in on the morning train from Boston. When she readied the mansion Mr. Blaine was iu a better condition than nt. any time for the twenty-four ho'trs previous. He It ad M.une consciousness of what was going on around him and when Miss Dodge entered the sick chamber he recognized her presence.

I'ell into a St npor.

Mr. Blaine remained half conscious of his surroundings for a little time after Miss Dodge's arrival. Then he fell into the condition whiuh has ni:irked-so many hours of his illness. He lay perfectly still with his eyes wide open, but without the slightest sign of existence. It is one of the effects of water on the brain. Not ail the day. however, was he. so vacant, and at various intervals under the stimulants which the. doctors still administered, though in less powerful form than on his sinking spells, he seemingly took some note of his surroundings. Physically he. was so weak that he could scarcely move his head on the pilhrw.

To the friends who were admitted to the house the word was sent down from the sick chamber that while Mr. Blaine was better there was no change in the general symptoms, and tlie beM that, was now hoped for was that his life might be prolonged. Dr. Johnson returned to the house at 11 o'chvk and remained tiearly an hour, and when ho came away he said: "Mr. Blaine is much letter. He is as well as he was four days ago, and has entirely recovered from the relapse, of Saturday night ami Sunday morning. He is quite cheerful and 1 feel much encouraged respecting him."

When Dr. Johnston left the house about 0 o'clock Monday evening he .said that in his opinion Mr. Blaine would not die during the night, but he refrained from saying how much longer his life would be spared. lr. Hyatt (.'tilled at Nin* OVloek.

y:- ms. Mt.vKU VCKSTION. WASHINGTON. Jtlit 10. —The silver question was brought forward prominently at both ends of the eapitol Monday afternoon. In the senate Senator Aldrich Ml. I.), at the conclusion of Senator Mcpherson's (N. J.) financial speech, offered :t resolution which among other things provided for the suspension of silver purchases at the discretion of the president, and tried to get immediate consideration for it. Although he did not succeed in this he will make another attempt to-dav and possibly precipitate a silver debate on the senate.

Work of the Itou*c Commit!«-e. While this was going on at the other end of the eapitol the bouse committee on banking and currency was considering the Andrew bill regulating national bank circulation and repealing the Sherman law. The committee decided to report the bill favorably to the lum.se, with an important amendment, offered by Mr. Cate. providing for the coinage of all silver at present in the treasury. The committee authorized Chairman Bacon to press the bill a« reported before the house and secure a hearing for it as early as possible.

Proceeding* In the Senate.

The senate was in session over five hours. Half of the time was spent ou Senator MePhcrson's joint resolution authorizing and directing the secretary of the treasury to suspend ail purchases of silver under the Sherman act. and the other half on the bill granting additional quarantine powers and

imposing

additional duties upon

the marine hospital service. «imior Ahlro'li'ii Snbn U' («». Senator Mcpherson addressed the senate at length in support of his joint resolution, and when he resumeu Ids seal Senator Aldrich gave notice of a substitute which he proposed to offer to it. and he asked unanimous consent —in order to lest the sincerity of the democratic side of the chamber, which he accused of "masquerading"—to have a vote taken on the substitute and the original measure to-day. Objection came from Senator Daniel (Va.). nnd the matter went over indefinitely and without any agreement.

Senator AIdrich'ssubstitute proposed to authorize the issue of bonds to procure gold if necessary to maintain the parity bet ween gold and silver coins and its treasury notes, ami also provided for the suspension of the purchase of silver bullion on the 1st of July, is'.t-t. if before that time there be not, an international agreement reached by which gold and silver shall be givtNJ etjual mintage rights at an agreed ratio.

Souutor 'IVIIer'H View.

The prospect of the passage of a bill to repeal the Sherman act may be judged of from an emphatic declaration by Senator TelIcr (foi.) thai those who desire it-repeal might butt their heads against the wall as much as they chose, but ihat they had not yoi the vote in the. senate or the house to repeal that law: that it was morally certain that it could not he repealed before the -ith of March, and that, in his judgment, it was no more likely after than before that date.

Tin* Onaranline Dill. •--.

The senate then took up the quaran tine bill. Senator White O.a. oflVrci an amendment t* the thmi .section twhich was agreed toj adding the words "all rules and regulations made by the secretary of the treasury shall operate uniformly and in no way dis criminate against any port or phtce Senator White also offered an amendment providing that all the provisioned" the bill expire January J, JRO.S.

Arguments in support of Hie amendment. were made by Senators White (dem., Da.) and Palmer (dcm.. Ill,), and against it by Messrs. Harris idem,, Tenu.) and Chandler (rep., X. 11. j. Xo disposition had been made of it before adjournment.

In tho Hon**,

I The house passed the district of Columbia appropriation bill. Then an hour was consumed in the considerntion of a bill to promote the efficiency of the militia. This bill involves on expenditure of Ji#00,000. There was no action taken.

Mr. Kaynor, from the house commit tee on interstate and foreign commerce, made a favorable report on a bill for the establishment of a national quarantine. The measure is similar to the Harris bill, now under discussion iu the senate, and contains all the amendments to the Harris bill adopted by the senate up lo and including Friday last.
