TUESDAY, DEC. 3, 1895.

THE present Congressmen average the youngest of any Congress in the history of this country.

Now is a splendid time for farmers and others to fix their young fruit trees and grape vines so that they *vill not be injured by field mice or rabbits. The trees can be wrapped with wire gauze or paper.

EUGENE V. DEBS, who has. just got out of jail, and Senator D. B. Hill, whose New York machine was so badly smashed, have both taken to lecturing on "Liberty," As the people did not flock in large numbers to hear them, they have quit.

IN the face of the conduct of William C. Walker for the past two years, it seems there could scarcely be any defence against the appointment of a guardian In that time he has practically squandered the accumulations of a life time.

TWO FIRE STATIONS.

THE CITY MCIliDING AND UVEKX BARN.

HUSTON'S

The Fire Department Now la Good Shape To Fight Fire. Bat More Water "Would Be Needed For A Big Fire.

The city fire department has been completing its arrangements recently and is now well prepared to get to afire quickly and do efficient work after it gets there. A gong has been put on the horse's stall at the fire department so that the gong can be rung and the stall door opened at the same instant. As chief Crosby could under the old way give the alarm from the gong on the wagon, run 15 feet and throw the stall door open and then hitch up in 20 seconds—much better time is now expected. Bill Thomas, the "fire hoss," is well trained, understands his duty and comes out promptly. The hook and ladder wagon which is stationed at Huston's livery barn, is now well equipped to fight a fire. A gong has been put on, swinging harness, so a quick hitch-up can be made, 250 feet of hose, nozzles and wrenches have also been placed on it and running boards for the fireman. By the way it is against the law for any one except a fireman to jump on or ride on either the hose or hook and ladder wagon. In case of fire persons are requested to go to the nearest telephone and send in the alarm to the telephone exchange, giving the exact location of the fire. The operator will notify the engineer at the water works and those in charge of both wagons. The big whistle will also be sounded at the water works. Theidepartment is now just a year old and we feel that it is well organized and equipped to fight a fire, but we hope they will earn their salary easily.

AN UNEVENTFUL MY

Republicans in Full Charge of the House.

HOW THEY DREW FOR SEATS.

Indications Point to IVIr. Payne of New York as Leader of the Majority and Chairman of the Ways and Means—Nothing Done in the Senate but Swearing

ill

of New Members—Details of the Day. WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—The house of

representatives has passed into the control of the Republicans and Thomas Brackett Reed of Maine again triumphantly assumes the speaker's gavel.

The opening session was, as is usual, an animated and brilliant occasion, set off with crowded galleries in holiday attire intoxicating with the perfume of hundreds of floral tributes to popular members and pervaded with a spirit of jubilation and good nature. Old familiar faces were absent, but there were plenty of new ones to take their places. Still, the proceedings themselves, as usual, with opening sessions, were of a routine character and devoid of interesting or sensational features. The house simply organized, adopted the usual resolutions to notify the president and the senate that the house was ready for business and wound up by indulging in the biennial lottery or seat-drawing contest. Speaker Reed was beyond question the star of the occasion.

THE NEW SPEAKER.

His appearance was the signal for a most flattering and enthusiastic demonstration. His inaugural was modest and full of good feeling but noncommittal as to policies. However, it was not expected that the speaker would touch the questions to be dealt with by the house. Ex-Speaker Crisp assumed the leadership of the minority and it was significant that Mr. Payne of New York made the motion which usually devolves upon the leader of the majority. This is taken to mean that he is to be chairman tif the ways and means committee and the recognized leader of the Republicans on the floor.

Drawing For Seats.

An arrangement was entered into by which the Republicans should have the first tier of the seats on the Democratic side and also the two last tiers.

Three hundred and fifty-six members were placed in a box and shaken up. A blind-folded page drew out the ballots and the members selected their seats as their names were drawn. According to the usual custom the house granted the ex-speaker, Mr. Crisp of Georgia, and Mr. Grow of Pennsylvania, the privilege of selecting their-seats without drawing.

Mr. Crisp selected a seat in the heart of the Democratic minority and Mr. Grow took a seat near the center of the Republican side. The name of Mr. McClure (Rep., O.) was the first drawn from the box Mr. Owens (Dem., Ky.), the successor of Mr. Breckinridge, was the second Mr. Perkins (Rep., Ia.) the third.

Popular members were applauded as they came forward and selected their places and the page boys scooted from desk to desk conveying floral pieces sent by admiring friends. Before the drawing was half completed the array of desks was transformed into a bower of roses. Among those who were thus remembered were ex-Speaker Crisp and Messrs. Hepburn of IoAva, Bromwell of Ohio, Henderson of Iowa, Wheeler of Alabama, Linton of Michigan and Mercer of Nebraska.

Some of the oldest and most prominent members on both sides were unlucky in the lottery. Mr. Hitt of Illinois, who will be chairman of foreign affairs Mr. Henderson of Iowa, who will probably be chairman of appropriations, and Mr. Walker of Massachusetts, who will have the banking and currency committee, were obliged to content themselves with seats in the last tier on the Democratic side, known as "the Cherokee Strip." Among the last names called was that of Mr. Payne of New York, who is much talked of for the chairmanship of ways and means. He found a vacant chair on the remote left.

Mr. Bartlett (Dem., N. Y.) drew the "booby" prize. His was the last name called. As soon as the drawing was completed the house, on -motion of Mr. Payna of New York, adjourned.

In the Senate.

Nothing happened in the senate yesterday that nad not been anticipated. The body was called to order by Vice President Stevenson. The new senators and those who had been re-elected were sworn in. A committee was appointed to notify the president and the usual resolutions incident to the beginning erf a session were introduced. The senate took a recess of an hour at 12:28 p. m., and at 1:30 adjourned, after an absolutely uneventful session. The new senators and those re-elected were sworn in groups.

In the first group were Messrs. Bacon, Baker, Berry and Butler. Then came Messrs. Caffery, Carter, Chandler and Chilton.

Following them were Elkins, Frye, Cullom, Gear, and after them Han-is, Hoar, Lindsay, McBride, McMillan, Burrows, Martin, Morgan, Nelson, Pettigrew, Sewell, Slioup, Thurston, Tillman, Walthall, Warren and Wetmore.

The last group attracted special attention, being led by ex-Governor Tillman of South 'arolina dispensary fame, arm-in-arm with Mr. George of Mississippi, behind whoiii came Mr. Waltham

... A

af Mississippi, on the arm of Mr. Blackburn of Kentucky. Mr. Wolcott's name was called, but he was not present.

CHARCOAL FUMES

Take the Life of Three Men in a Sugar Refinery. NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—Three men will

die and two more narrowly escaped with their lives as a result of an accident in the Mollenauer sugar refinery at Williamsport.

Mollehauer's refinery shut down last Thursday. Last night five charcoal workers were ordered to begin work in the underground charcoal pits, which, when not in active operatic^, are generally closed. As the thick fumes of the charcoal, which has accumulated for several days, struck the men, they fell down insensible, one after the other.

Those who can not recover are: Herman Fuchs, 28 Thomas Kolilman, 27, and Thomas Levy, 38. Two others were taken out unconscious, but will recover.

SIX MONTHS

Mrs. Cottier Must Stay in .Jail For Contempt of Court. CHICAGO, Dec. 3.—The sentence of

Judge Payne in the contempt case of Lizzie D. Cottier was. upheld by the appellate court. Judge Payne sentenced Mrs. Cottier to six months in jail for refusing to answer questions in regard to the whereabouts of her daughter, Florence, in her divorce suit against her husband, Alonzo D. Cottier.

Mrs. Cottier is now in Buffalo, but her attorneys have telegraphed her to come here, and they state that they will carry the case to the supreme court.

Lawyer Swadener Dying.

DAYTON, O., Dec. 3.—The startling news was announced yesterday when Judge Dwyer's court opened that Charles E. Swadener, the ex-attorney whose sensational suits come to trial this week, is lying at the point of death. There has been a collapse in his highly nervous condition and he is rapidly sinking. It was thought at first his illness was assumed but investigation shows that the actions brought against him by the many who claim he defrauded them will never come to trial and the attorney will answer to a higher tribunal.

Caught by Decoy Letters.

BOSTON, Dec. 3.—Henry J. Files, a letter carrier of the Back Bay station, was arrested for stealing letters and money from the mail yesterday afternoon. A decoy letter was used to detect him, and two $1 bills marked for the purpose were found in his pocket. It is stated that he has confessed and will plead guilty to the charge in court.

Charged With Arson.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 3.—W. R. Clark, alias William Roberts, was arrested here yesterday. He is wanted by the authorities of Dallas upon a charge of arson, and J. D. Womack, sheriff of Milan county, Tex., who arrived in Kansas City last night, will take Clark back to Texas. He has agreed to return without requisition.

Mrs. Neilson's Grown Daughter. NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—That the years

are slipping by is made plain by the announcement that Mrs. Frederick Neilson will give a large reception to introduce to society her daughter, Miss Belle Neilson. Mrs. Neilson is the sister of Freddy Gebliard, and it seems only a few years ago that she was the "belle of the ball."

Four Below.

ST. JOSEPH, MO., Dec. 3.—Monday afternoon a cold wave struck this vicinity with a strong northwest wind, which increased during the night. This morning at 7 o'clock the thermometer registered 4 degrees below zero, unusual for this time of year. Stock will suffer from the cutting north wind.

LAVIGNE WON. f/

Walcurtt Worsted After Fifteen Rounds of Hard Fighting.

MASPETH, L. I.. Dec. 3.—A good sized crowd assembled at the Empire Athletic club's arena last night to witness the bout between Joe Walcott, the Boston colored boy, and "Kid" Lavigne, the Saginaw lad. In order to secure a man to meet Walcott, Tom O'Rourke agreed to get Joe down to 133 pounds, and if Lavigne should last through 15 rounds he was to be declared the winner. O'Rourke said that the fact of his man having to reduce to 133 pounds would not lessen his chances of success, and the betting was 100 to 60 on Walcott.

Sam Fitzpatrick, who trains Lavigne, was equally confident of his man's ability to stand off the colored lad and secure the purse.

In the 15th round, to everyone's astonishment, Lavigne did the greater part of the fighting and rushed the colored man to the ropes twice, standing up to his work in wonderful shape. Although Tom O'Rourke shouted long and loud to Walcott to do his man, and Dixon's cries of "go in Joe show him the old trick," Walcott could not get in on the Saginaw boxer sufficiently hard enough to stop him and the gong sounded, ending the fight.

The din and tumult just then was deafening and everyone in the house wanted to shake Lavigne's hand. The referee awarded the fight to the "Kid" according to agreement.

PLAYED-WITH FIRE.

Three Children Burned to Death During Tlieir Mother's Absence. WINNIPEG, Dec. 3.—At Gladstone vil­

lage Sunday, during the absence of their mother, three children named Gangel, aged 4, 2 and 1 year, were burned to death. They were playing with fire and set fire to the house, which was burned to the ground.

Out on Strike.

Owosso, Mich., Dec. 3.—About 300 miners of the Coruna Coal company are out on a strike. Meetings are being held with a view7 toward a settlement. The company claims the reduction made, consisting in the allowance made for the powder, in consideration of leaving pillars to support the roof standing will only amount to about $1.80 per man in three months time. A meeting held yesterday afternoon resulted in no agreement.

Poisoned in a Dive.

STURGIS, S. D., Dec. 3.—E. A. Sturgis, a prominent government contractor at Fort Meade, was poisoned here Sunday night. He was found dead in the doorway of a dive. The inmates said he was thrown from the place drunk. The police declare he was given "knock out" drops, which are said to be fatal. A large sum of money, known to have been on his person, was missing. Five persons have been arrested.

Typhoid, Not Trichinae.

DES MOINES, Dec. 3.—The state board of health is at last satisfied as to the cause of the sickness and death which followed the Sabula (Ia.) wedding feast of last August. Reports have been received from Dr. W. R. Stokes of the Boston city hospital, who, with Dr. Councilman, made a thorough investigation, which state that the disease was undoubtedly typhoid fever.

Anticosti Sold Again.
