The H«*y wood Celebrities are all Kine Artists.

The Lafayette Choral Society, desirous of furthering the musical interests of the city and anxious to i.uild up a taste lor things harmonious, seemed the str\ ice.i of Heywood's troupe of celebrities for a concert at the Crawl last night. Those who were fortunate enough to ati-ml the concert heard one ol the most ei'j".\able entertainments piven lor a Joisi?. time. The management very sensiblj •and very graciously ascettamed just how Lafayette's mu.-ical tnMe ran. and prepared a program which was sure to please the audience. The singe:.s were not required to tear through a lot of heavy music, which would have been totally to.- on an audience larger and less cultivated than the one which heard 'their sweet sjiig.s as introduced in the programme of popular music. Nearly all of Lafayette's thoroughly musical people were present, and it was the verdict of each and all that the concert was fine. Every performer is an artist, and several of them quite famous. The ladies were charmingly attired, and their 'personal appearance added largely to the pleasure of the evening.

SUNDRY CIVIL BILL PASSED.

It Include# an Item Appropriating Over

Five Million Dollars For Sugar Bounties.

Silver Discussion An Kxcitinar Jfight

Session of the Senate—A Bush of Busi

ness in the House.

WASHINGTON, March 1.—The senate passed the sundry civil appropriation bill yesterday, including the item appropriating over $5,000,000 for sugar bounties and the provision for a commission to represent the United States at an international monetary conference. The latter feature brought out a vide difference of opinion among the silver men of the senate as to the advisability of participating in an international conference.

Mr. Stewart of Nevada sought to have the United States delegates instructed not to make any agreement short of a recognition of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. This was opposed by Mr. Wolcott, who has always heretofore co-operated with Mr. Stewart on the silver question. Mr. Wolcott severely arraigned the Navada senator for his intolerance on financial questions. Mr. Stewart commanded only 10 votes for his (5 to 1 ratio amendment, most of the leading silver men, Democrats and .Republicans, voting against it. It was expected that a further contest would be made against the sugar bounty payments. but the reversed vote was not insisted upon.

The senate chamber was the scene of an extraordinary demonstration at the night scission, beginning with sensational speeches and culminating with an exchange of personal epithets almost without parallel in the history of the senate. Mr. Chandler personally arraigned many Democratic senators. Mr. Hill responded, characterizing Mr. Chandler as a hyena for having dug up the private records of Senator Roaoli.

Mr. Martin, who had been arraigned by Mr. Chandler, replied with intense bitterness, characterizing Mr. Chandler as a "buzzard" and declaring that if half was true that was charged against Chandler he should be in the penitentiary instead of the United States senate. At times there was great confusion and excitement in the galleries, and the vice president threatened to clear it. The mingled confusion, debate and excitement on the floor of the senate and galleries lasted until after midnight.

At 12:25 tho senate adjourned after passing the diplomatic, legislative and judicial appropriation bill.

House Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, March 1.—The rush of the closing hours of congress showed itself yesterday in the miscellaneous character of the business transacted. An attempt to pass a bill to pension Hiram Rhea, an alleged member of the Tenth regiment of North Carolina mounted infantry, over the veto of the president, failed, 9(5 to 153, both the veto and the report of the secretary of the interior showing that Rhea was alleged to have been at the time he was wounded a member of an armed band of guerillas.

The house, by a vole of 115 to 150, decided to further insist on its disagreement to the senate amendment to the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill, providing for tho Hawaiian cable. The senate Dill to regulate the deductions from the gross tonago of vessels tor the purpose of determining the net foliage (winch from the basis of port charges), was passed, and several conference reports in bills of minor importance was agreed to. The house, after passing a lew bills relating to tne District of Columbia, adjourned.

TOOK BISSELL'S PLACE.

Congressman Wilson .Appointed Vostmaster Oenerul ly 1'residciit Cleveland.

WASHINGTON, March 1.—Tho president lias nominated William L. Wilson of West Virginia to be postmaster general, vice Wilson S. Bissoll, who resigned Wednesday evening.

This nomination was almost a foregone conclusion, and places in a very agreeable! position a gentleman who certainly deserved a reward for the gallant light he, made for .Mr. Cleveland's policy of tariff reform. It was thought last week that Mr. Wilson would be given the mission to Mexico, but Senator Ransom having captured that prize, it seemed only the fair thing to do to put Wilson in the cabinet.

In executive session the nomination of William L. Wilson to be postmaster general, was referred to the conimitteo on postoffices and post roads and immediately reported back favorably, but no action was taken because the Sioux Falls postmastership stood at the head of the list, and senators interested in this case would not allow any action until this was disposed of.

Died of Starvation and Cold.

BOSTON, March 1.—Two aged blind men, who occupied the basement of 1!M West Eighth street, Boston, were found in the midst of the filth and squalor in their room, apparently dead, by a policeman last night. One of them, Joseph Saunders, aged 60 years, was dead from starvation and cold. The other, Emanuel Smith, 70 years old, was still living, but can not recovor, as a result of similar privation. While searching tho premises, officers found #50 in bank bills under the mattresses, on which the dead men lay, and in another part of the room a bankbook in Smith's name, showing deposits in a savings bank of $224.

An Old Veteran Instantly Killed.

WABASH, Ind., March 1 .—John Chambers, aged 55, an inmate of the soldiers' home at Marion, was instantly killed on the Michigan division of the Big Four by the northbound express No. 2(5. Tho train, which is due nerc at 10 o'clock, was boarded at Summit ville by Chambers, who had no money, and was put off. The passengers made up a purse, and the veteran was allowed to ride. In attempting to get off at his destination he fell under the wheels.

The high school lecture course endeavored to procure a concert company when making up their course, but owing to the expense were unable to do so. The Heywood Celebrities could not be gotten thron'/h a lecture bureau for less than $150. The enterprise of our Opera House manager in seeming the well known organization ought certainly to be appreciated and our literary and musical people should see to it that they sustain no loss.

Mr. John Milrov, who has been living on the farm of A. J. Banks for the past three 3 ears, will move next week to a farm he has purchased near Craigsville, Wells county. During the past three years, by industry and good management, Mr. Milroy has made a living and accumulated sufficient money to enable him to make a good start on paying for a farm. He is a good citizen and we recommend him to the people of Wells county.

Mr. Ralph Colescott, stepfather of Mrs. Elbert Tyner, of this city spent his boyhood days not far from where Fred Douglas was raised and the two spent many a summer day together flying kites and making mud pies. At the age of ten or twelve Fred was sent to Baltimore. Five or six years later the boys met again on the eastern shores of Maryland, Fred had grown restive and embittered with his life of drudgery and the two boys talked on his escape, which was accomplished a short time thereafter, Mr. Colescott helping to hide Fred cn the old tug on which he finally got away.
