FRIDAY, JAN. 31, 1896.
THE REPUBLICAN publishes the decision of the Supreme on the apportionment acts today. Both the acts of 1895 and 1893 were declared invalid this makes, The act of 1885 in force as it has never been attacked. The present decision puts an end to gerry manders as they are declared unconstitutional and the decision is so plain that no party will again attempt it. Bead the decision. The Republicans are in good shape no matter whether the law of 1885 is left in force or the legislature called together to pass anew act. The Senators who were elected two years ago are now a little uncertain as to where they are at.
Ou* people are being served with a good deal of matter a^out the Glass Workers' Union by our afternoon newspapers. In the same journals one can see advertisements for "Girls wanted to learn the printing business," who are paid one and two dollars per week by these great advocates of unionism. "Consistency, thou art a jewel."—Hancock Democrat
We do not speak for the other afternoon paper but so far as the REPUBLICAN office is concerned the prices paid by it have always equaled the prices paid by the Democrat for similar services. The last two lady composi.ors the REPUBLICAN had received $4.50 each per week. We believe that the employes of either the Tribune or REPUBLICAN are fully as well satisfied at the treatment they receive from their employers as are those of the Hancock Democrat. While the Democrat is talking about wages John F. might state IKS opinion about the amount per day he thinks glass workers ought to receive. John has opinions about protection and protective wages.
Trustee Manche, of Sugar Creek township, was transacting business here today.
Miss Gertie Oldham, of Charlottesville, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Chas. McKown.
Wm. Geake, of Ft. Wayne, one of Jthe contractors on the new High school building, was in the city yesterday.
Mrs. Quitman Jackson, wife of County Supt. Jackson, died about one o'clock today, from blood poisoning. Mr. Jackson has the sympathy of the entire community in his sad affiction.
Miss Millie Goble who has been such a faithful and capable worker at the office of the Home and School Visitor for the past fifteen years, has been in poor -wealth since last August. For the past month, however, she has not been able to do any work at the office, being confined to her home the greater part of the time.
The non-union glass blowers, of the bottle house, met last night at the glassworkers' hall. The vice-President of the glass-workers' union met with them. They sent for Pres. Kranthe, of Mellville, N. J., President of the bottle-blowers' union, to come here and the probabilities are that they will form a union, and the bottle house will change from a nonunion to a union factory. We would be glad to s®e them do this, as it would be better for the men and better for the town.

The President Called on For the Nicaraguan Canal Report Election Contests Decided—The Vote on the Bond Bill in
the Senate Again Postponed. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—The attendance in the house was slim yesterday. Mr. Wadsworth (Rep., N. Y.), from the committee on agriculture, reported the agricultural appropriation bill. The report of the elections committee in favor of the sitting member, D. B. Culberson, from the Fourth Texas district, and against T. H. Davis, was adopted without division. The unanimous report on the case of J. H.

On motion of Mr. Doolittle (Rep., Wash.) a resolution was adopted requesting the president, at his earliest convenience to transmit to congress the report of the board of engineers on the Nicaraguan canal.
The bill to amend tlie dependent pension act of 1S1X) so that in considering widows' claims seven years of unexplained absence should be deemed sufficient proof of the death of the soldier, was passed. Mr. McClelland (Dein., N. Y.) made the point of no quorum, but the speaker counted one.

IN THE SENATE.
Tote on the Bond Bill Again Postponed With the Consent of Mr. Jones. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—A very animated debate closed the senate session late yesterday afternoon over the question of taking the vote on the pending silver bond bill. It had been expected throughout the day that Mr. Jones of Arkansas, in charge of the measure, would hold the senate in session until a vote was forced. He had given notice of this purpose and the senators were prepared for it. But at 4:15, when Mr. Vilas secured the floor for a speech, he yielded for a motion to go into executive session. Mr. Jones said he felt satisfied that a vote could be taken in the near future. This led to much discussion.
Mr. Chandler was sarcastic at the abandonment of a plan for a vote. Mr. Stewart declared that it made no difference when a vote was taken, or whether a vote was taken. It was all "dress parade" and "buncome." He added the significant statement that the pending silver amendment would be germane as an amendment to the tariff bill, and that when the latter measure came before the senate he would offer a free silver amendment to test senators on their choice between tariff and silver.
After a lengthy discussion the senate went into executive session and then adjourned without any exact understanding as to the vote, although the talk had shown a purpose to secure a vote on Saturday.
ENTRAPPED BY FIRE.
A Man, His Wife and Their Two Sons Burned to Death. MARSHALL, Mich., Jan. 31.—Harvey Page, wife and two sons, aged respectively 3 years and 3 months, were entrapped and burned to death in their home in Marengo township, six miles northeast of this city, at 2 o'clock yesterday morning.
Harvey Page and family occupied one-half of the double log house where they lived, his brother Wilbur and family the other half. The latter family, however, slept on the first floor. Harvey's family slept upstairs. When Wilbur discovered the fire he and his hired man tried vainly to reach the hapless people upstairs, who were overcome by smoke and burned to death. There was but one window in the upstairs room. The house burned to the ground, and the bodies, horribly charred, fell to the cellar.
Aliners Strike.
ASHLAND, Ky., Jan. 31.—Although it is apparently being kept a secret, it is reported that there is a strike at the mines of the Winifrede Coal company at Winifrede, W. Va., that may include the entire valley. The company made a reduction in the wages of the men, who at once refused to acccpt it. The plant has been shut down and will so remain according to announcement until the nieii see fit to accept tlie rates. In case the reduction is accepted there it must follow all through the Kanawha region.
Passenger Ship in Distress. ST. JOHNS, N. F., .jan. 31.—The brigantine Gratia, which has just arrived from Oporto, reports sighting a large three-masted steamer, supposed to be a passenger ship, before daylight Sunday, off Cape Race, burning distress signals.
Ended in a Draw.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—The bout between Dixon and "Pedlar" Palmer was declared a draw at the end of the sixtii round.
G. A. R. RATES.
tt. Pa«l Citizens Making Great Efforts to Retain the Encampment. CHICAGO, Jan. 81.—Another plan is on foot to
keep
the encampment of the
Grand Army in St. Paul. A committee of citizens of that city has made a proposition to Chairman Caldwell of the Western Passenger association that tlie time limit on the tickets shall be 15 days, with the understanding that a person wishing to have his ticket extended to 30 days may do so by paying the difference between the rate of 1 cent per mile and one fare for the round trip.
Chairman Caldwell explained to the committee that he had no power to call a special meeting of the association, unless on the request of two or more roads, but that he would submit the plan to the members of the association, and if they were desirous that a meeting should be called, he would issue the call at once.
The St. Paul committee were very anxious that the meeting be held before Feb. 7, and said that they were certain that the arrangement they proposed would be agreeable to the Grand Army.
Chairman Caldwell has received no •word from a.iy of the association lines that they winhed to hold another meeting, and the feeling is general that no request for a meeting will be made.
RUNYON'S FUNERAL.
Services Over the Body of the Late Ambassador to Germany. BERLIN, Jan. 31.—A memorial funeral service was held in St. George's Episcopal church in Berlin at noon yesterday in honor ot" the memory of the late Theodore Runyon, United Suites ambassador to Germany. The services began with singing, which was followed by the usual burial service, confession and absolution. Rev. Drs. Frye and Dickie of St. George's church officiated, the former conducting the service and the latter delivering the address.
Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern was present as the representative of the iuperor, and the entire court, the diplomatic corps and several of the imperial and Prussian ministers were in attendance. The church was not of sufficient capacity to hold all who desired to attend. In consequence of this Dr. Dickie, at the request of Mrs. Runyon, will hold an overflow service on Sunday in the American church. The emperor and the empress each sent wreaths, tied with ribbons, bearing their initials. The members of the United States embassy and the consulate also sent wreaths, as did many others.
Insurrection in Formosa.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 31.—The steamer Rio Janeiro has just arrived from Hong-Kong and Yokohama one day overdue. The Japan mail says: In the northern districts of Formosa, where it was supposed that order had been completely restored, a general insurrection has broken out. The Chinese are making a desperate effort to drive out their Japanese conquerors. The Japanese troops which have just returned from the subjugation of the island will be returned to Formosa and a permanent garrison established.
Will Ask For a Receiver.
PORTSMOUTH, O., Jan. 31.—President M. Stanton, Levi York and Mr. Rennick of Chillicothe, the committee appointed by the stockholders of the Farmers' National bank, have gone to Washington in company of Special Inspector Lynch, who has been here the past week. Their object will be to secure the appointment of a receiver, which at present seems the only satisfactory settlement. The name of the appointee has been kept a secret.
Brass Manufacturers' Meeting. CLEVELAND, Jan. 31.—The meeting of the National Association of Plumbing Brass Manufacturers lias ended. During the meeting new members were taken in, and now 90 per cent of the output is represented. At a meeting to be held in New York in April it is expected every manufacturer will be represented. The members claim that they are not seeking to change prices, but. only to have a uniform price list without rebates.
I.et the Water Get Too Low. SOUTH CHARLESTON, O., Jan. 81.—At the coroner's inquest on the bodies of Engineer Clark Trimble and Fireman George Walters, who were killed in the recent explosion of a locomotive engine near here on the Pennsylvania road, it was conclusively shown that the explosion was caused by their own neglect in letting the water in the boiler get too low.
Explosion Kills Five.
BLACKSHEAR, Ga., Jan. 31.—At Offerman Mills four boilers were wrecked by an explosion, five negroes were instantly killed and two have died since, and another is dying from his injuries.
Below the Fifty Million Again. WASHINGTON, Jan. 81.—The treasury yesterday lost $212,000 in gold coin and $5,500 in bars, which reduces the reserve to $49,926,003.
