There will be balloting for United States senators in several states this week.

The Democratic legislature is hard at work doing nothing and preparing for a called session.

It is reported that the president will veto the Fitz Jin Porter bill if it is Bent to him bv congress.

'Die lire at the Newliall house and at the Planters calls attention to the fact that the servants' quarters in large hotels are almost entirely without protection from lire.

On this side of the line there does not seem to be much good sense in the rumored purpose of certain Republican members of the Illinois legislature 1o bolt the nomination of Governor t'uilom for L'uitcd States senator.

The wires bring the news that the Vale college oarsmen have gone into training for the contest with the Harvard crew, which again reminds the public that these seats of learning are losing none of their grand reputation for best..wing the wealth of knowledge on our vouth.

The great succc.ss of Miss Livingstone in her suit for damages for breach of promise, receiving a verdict for J575,000 ihe lull amount asked, has had the etfect of bringing on numerous like suits by those of the fair sex who had been promised much and received nothing. Among them is the belle of Brooklyn ethiopian society, who wants $10,000 from a coachman. It behooves the young man to bo very guarded in what he has to say to his lady fair.

An Indiana).olis correspondent of the Cincinnati News suys: The legislature has done but littleas yet hut make an appropriation of $i23,60u to pay themselves, introduce a few bills, appoint an extravagant number of doorkeepers, it-., but it is to be hoped thu when they return from their homes tomorrow that they will settle down to business with the thought that their eonstltu.nls are watching them, and will hold them responsible for their misdoings, or no doings.

In announcing what has been done the correspondent tells briefly the principal idea that controls the Democratic legislator in the performance of his duties. The spoils are distributed with a few exceptions, the appropriation for the nay of the members is made, and there is nothing to be done beyond a few minor matters concerning public affairs.

England is making known her plan for the future government of Egypt, and France admits that she has sat by as a confiding friend only to learn in the end that England does not intend the re-establishment of the status quo which France favored at the conclusion of the rebellion. France refused the presidency of the debt commission as she did the joint military control of Egypt, and now we see England has prepared for a European minister of finance, who will be English to all intents and purposes, and an English general is reorganizing the Egyptian army. Our telegraph columns this morning give the points in Lord Granville's note regarding the Suez canal, which it will be seen gives England another advantage. On the whole, it look* as if the obstinacy of France is to work very much to her disadvantage.

No bill for metropolitan police will meet with the approval of those who sincerely want a non-partisan police torcc that does not provide against any chance of partisan control. It would be difficult to frame a law that would entirely preclude partisanship because after all much depends on the commissioners who would act in compliance with it. The Ferriter bi'l now before the legislature is clearly open to the objection that it! leaves the control of appointments in the hands of one political party. It provides that the governor and three state oflicers shall appoint the commissioners. At present the governor is a member of one political party, jnid the three state oilicers belong to the opposite party, so itiat the naming of the governor as one of those who shall appoint the commissioners is a mere sham. As si matter of course the three state oiHers would select two of the three commissioners from men of their own po-1 litical

faith

and these two would con-j

trol all the appointments.

the

jority in the legislature is really de-j Minus of furnishingnon partisan police forces for the large cities in the state it can furnish much better evidence of such purpose than the bill which has apparently received the sanction of the democratic leaders .-t Indianapolis.

Miss Cameron's "Wedding:. Special to the Cincinnati Gazette. WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—An important social event to-night was the first German of the season of the army and navy, but the occurrence of commanding interest was the wedding of Miss Virginia, second daughter of Senator Don Cameron, to Lieutenant liodgers, of the Fourth cavalry, son of Admiral Rodgers, of the navy. Like the wedding of her elder sister to the sou of Justice Bradley, it is a love match, the young officer's rank and pay not making him eligible in the ordiuary sense of the word, for a bride whose family areso prominent in wealth aud station. But it was the old, old tale of Cupid's touch, and accordingly the nuptials came off in great pomp tonight, it being the whispered understanding that the VOUIIK groom has been assigned to General McKenzie's stall', for the purpose of allowing his young happiness an easy bower to clwel! in. Only the president and members of the two families were at the ceremony, which was performed at the senator's house by Rev. Dr. Pax to n, former pastor of the New York Avenue Presbyterian church. The bride was attended by her two little sisters, Misses Mary and Margaretta Cameron, am! there were neither groomsmen nor ushers.

Senator and Mrs. Cameron stood at the drawing-room door, and received the guests, who were then presented to Mrs. Rodgers. The bride's dress was of heavy white satin^ made with the greatest simplicity. The train fell in unbroken folds, and the front of the skirt was laid in deep plaits, and looped in a loose knot low down on the

•M

right side. The plaiting was cut in block at the foot, and fell over a ruffle of satin. The high corsage was laced in front, and the square neck and elbow-sleeves were edged with point loce. A fleur-de-tis in diamonds was suspended from a white satin ribbon at the throat, and the long tulle veil was held by a coronent of orange blossoms.

MONTGOMERY PAliACE STOCK CAR COMPANY.

Senator McPherson Charged with Manipulating: a Scehine for Ills Personal Benefit Under Guise of Humaue Feeling for Live Stock.

NEW YOEK, Jan. 13.—Action in equity was began this afternoon when complaint was filed in the IT. S. Circuit court by Joseph S. Rusling, of Pennsylvania, against Hon. John R. McPherson, of New Jersey. The complaint sets forth that early in '77 defendant was elected by the New Jersey legislature, United States Senator. Previous to that he dealt in live stock and their transportation, the slaughter of live stock, sale of meat and had contracts from railroad companies, among others from the Erie railway and its receiver, Hugh J. Jewett. In consequence of certain complaints made by humane persons regarding the treatment of live stock while in transit over railways from the west to New York, the defendant devised a plan by which the railroad companies should be compelled to use certain patented appliances, some of which the defendant controlled, and others of which he intended to purchase, and should be compelled to make terms which should accrue to his benefit also that for the purpose of bringing about this object, defendant proposed that the statutes of the United States should be so amended as to compel shippers and transporters of live stock to incur great expense or delay in such transportation, or else to use cars fitted up with the patented appliances in question that by agreement with defendant on July 9,1877, lie (the complainant) was to bring suits to the attention ol congress by petitions for the forming and managing of a corporation which should become owner of the patent in question, etc., and it was understood between them that a company should be formed with a paid-up capital of $100,000 and that the complainant should receive $20,000 stock at oar for his compensation, or if the company should not be formed then that the complainant should receive for his compensations one-fifth of all the net proceeds received by defendant from the sales of patents from the dealers and transporters of live stock. This was to be paid whether or not congress took action in the matter. In pursuance of such arrangement complainant says he frequently visited Washington during sessions of congress in 1S77, 1S78, 1879, and 1880, and uuder direction of the defendant brought the matter to the notice of members of congress and others. The complainant alleges that he derived much of his information in regard to these matters secretly from the defendant who in public" disavowed any connection with him, and in his place as the senator declared he was influenced only by motives of humanity for suffering brutes, and a desire to piomote public health, and had no interest in the matter. The complainant further alleges that on the 19th of January, 1880, when the subject was under discussion in the senate, the defendant said, among other things— "When you undertake to say that there is something in the shape of a patent car that we intend to impose on the people, it is the simplest nonsense in the world, because the bill does not state any such thing. It says that if inventive genius can or has devised a car whereby that very same thing can be done without delay or accident to and attendant upon unloading them, then you can run them sixty consecutive hours." The complaint then sets forth the organization of the Montgomery Palace Stock Car company, the capital stock of which was fixed at ten million dollars, in shares of one hundred dollars each, and alleges that prior to the organization of that company, defendant had negotiated with it for a sale of patents for §100,000, payable in installments. It is also charged that defendant has received $80,000 par stocks of the company. The complainant avers that he has frequently applied to defendant for an accounting, but the latter has refused the application or to name the promised payment, but gives out that the sale of patents to the company has been rescinded, and at other times says the company is about to be reorganized with a reduced capital of $100,000. The complainant asked answers to a number of interrogations touching several exhibits attached to the complaint, among which are: "Who is Scott? Does it not refer to the late Thomas A. Scott, at that time president of the Pennsylvania Railroad company? Who are Butcher and Depew? Is not reference made by that language to John B. Dutcher and Chauncey M. Depew, officials of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad company, and did not these three threaten to denounce the defendant before a committee of the house of representatives as being secretly employed in assisting complainant in the passage of house bill No. 2,206, in March, 1878." The complainant prays for accounting on part of tbe defendant.

To-day" the telegraph company obtained an .order in the Circuit court, order restraining Hyland from permitting any one obtaining the quotations from liis instrument until the hearing. The case will be heard on the 17th inst.

A Description of the Panic.

Special to tile Terre Haute Express. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 14.—About 4 o'clock this morning a fire broke out in the Planters' house on the Pine street side. An alarm was turned on from box 41, the engines responding at once. After this a second alarm was given in a few minutes and a large number.of engines were at work throwing water on the flames. The guests in the hotel were awakened immediately by the night watchman, who w?nt from door to door and rapped until he obtained an answer from the sleepers. This was done on every flo.or and all through the building. He cried as he rapped .at each door: "Fire, fire wake up don't wait a minute." As a consequence the halls were soon filled with a frightened, panic stricken crowd of men, women and children, who evi* dently had followed the advice about neglecting the donning of the apparel. The watchman said that the elevator was on fire, and therefore everybody rushed down the stairs, dressing as they went, crowing each other in a frantic endeavor to reach the street the rotunda was filled in a very short time with a mob of grotesque looking people, who. as they failed to see anything but smoke, stopped to put on what few articles of clothing they carried. They poured out into the street in a thick volume, without heal or feet covering, and with little to cover the body. Tne refugees were taken Into the newspaper offices, where the women and children huddled together and began telling their experiences. The house was

almost immediately after the alarm was given and the effect of their efforts was to check in a short time the progress of the flames. It was then realized that tlii scare was greater than the fire.

THE FIRE ORIGINATED

In the kitchen, probably from the range, and spreading rapidly at first, and filled the few who were aware of the existence of it with horror. The smoko found Its way all through the halls and accelerated the speed of the guests in evacuating the building. The lights were turned on In them and something like order followed In the retreat of the guests. The

one, and though the flames at no time leaped high, the firemen stayed at work until the middle of the forenoon.

After order had been restored it was found that there were two lives lost. Carte Elboll was a dish-washer. He was alarmed and started down the stairs from his room in the third story in his his night shirt. His body was found in the kitchen on the ground floor, partly burned, but death was evidently from suffocation.

Dennis Itaponti was the carver and slept in a room on the third floor with H. Blaney, an employe. Blaney when aroused wakenea Rapontl. Then Blaney threw a rope fire escapeout of the window and, as was reported, descended to tbe ground.

FROM THE THIRD STORY WINDOW and broke her leg. A number of others were slightly Injured. The loss is only about 525,000, but the houses will be unable to feed the guests. For three days there were about 200 guests in the house, among them were the following:

J. "W. Porris, of New Harmony, Ind. I. Henson, Terre Haute. T. M. Williams, Evansville, Ind. T. E. Marsh, Indianapolis. They were in the hotel at the time and were all rescued. |The Mr. I.

When he commenced to speak he was howled down by an organized gang, Vvho attempted to storm the platform, but were repulsed with chairs by the occupants of the platform. A free fight followed, chair legs and brass, knuckles being the principal weapons. Many persons were hurt. Davitt called the disturbers a cowardly crew and declared if twenty men would follow him he would clear the hall of the gang. He thereupon advanced toward the mob but was restrained by policemen. Addressing his opponents again 1'avitt said they were miserable, contemptable, cowardly dogs. When they were sitting in taverns, he said, he was fighting the British government. They were drunken blackguards and were a disgrace to the name of Nationalists. If Ireland were made up of such that she would earn the contempt of the civilized world. He had traveled throughout En land, and Englishmen, although

enemies, had given him r. hearing. What a spectacle for the English, he exclaimed, was afforded by these professors of blackguardism at the time when Ireland was asking for self government.
