TIIE SENATORIAL FIGHT.

Yesterday's Developments in the Contest Between Democratic Aspirants! Gray Feete Sdmewhat Encouraged Orer the Action of the Democratic Senator1101" man Declares Himself in the Race. The senatorial question received less atten tion yesterday than for several days, Owing, perhaps, to the excitement among the members of the General Assembly over the opening proceedings in the Senate. There was not any material chanpe in the situation, though the action of the Senate is regarded as a stroke in favor of Gray, and the fondest hopes of that gentleman now are that Green Smith will continue to hold the fort Gray is an avowed candidate under these conditions, and has his forces well in hand. Speaking of tho matter yesterday, his son and private secretary said that "All we want is for Smith to hold on. We don't want anything better." With the brightening of Gray's hopes, McDonald is, of course, correspondingly weakened, though it seems apparent that he still has , much the largest following. There are indications that the fight between Gray and McDonald may besome so bitter that a third man may have to be considered, and in that event there will be a chance for Holman. or Bynum, and there is some talk of Judge Turpie as a dark horse by the men who are in the habit of proposing him for every office in sight. Bynum is upon the ground, - and while he is not openly working for the nomination, he is planning to reach out after the plac when the proper occasion comes, if it does como. Judge Turpie is in no wise a candidate, but is regarded by many of the Democrats as a very available man on whom to compromise should no agreement be reached on any of the avowed candidates. Holman's arrival In the city, yesterday, and his formal announcement that he has decided to become a candidate, created somewhat of a sensation ampng the members, though his move was not altogether unexpected. Dr. W. D. H. Hunter, of Lawrenceburg, is here, working in Holman's interest, and said last nieht that he considered the chances of the "Great Objector" quite bright. His candidacy is not regarded with favor by the Democrats who denounce Cleveland's civil-service policy, for the reason that Holman is a supporter of the President's policy. Said a Democrat last night: "It was Cleveland's infamous 'civil-service nonsense that lost us the State, and it is out of the question to talk about electing a United States Senator who upholds his doctrine." However this may be, Holman has a following and is destined to become a formidable candidate. From the moment of his arrival he began to receive encouragement, and last evening formally announced, himself as a candidate for Senator. ''The Re publicans. I siinnose. still exDect to return Gen. Harrison to the Senate?'' was his first remark to a Journal reporter who called upon him last night. When be was answered in the affirmative, and asxed whether or not it was true he had aspira tions in that direction, he said: "This is a free country, and the right to be a candidate is granted to every one. The coming senatorial fight is going to be an interesting one, and I have been urged by my friends to become a can didate. After coming hero and looking over the field, I have put myself in the Lands of my friends." "It can be said, then, that you are a candi date?-' "Yes, you may say that I am in the race." When asked about how long he would remain in the city, Mr. Holman said: "It depends upon what comes np in Congress. I shall return whenever any important legisla tion comes up. We are expecting the tariff bill to be before us Saturday, and if it is not de layed I shall start back to-morrow evening." AMUSEMENTS. GRAND OrERA-IIOUSE JAXACSCHEK. After an absence of two years, Mme. Janaus chek began a brief engagement at the Grand play of that name, dramatized from "Guy Mannering," and the performance was one that can be highly commended in every respect. Janauschek's acting has lost none of that intensity and tragic force which has made her so famous, ner Meg Merrilies is an impersona tion of wonderful force and vividness, express ive in all its details, and rising at times to absolute greatness. Her first appearance, which came comparatively late in the play, was the signal for a hearty reception, and after that her - splendid acting was closely followed and commended frequently by outbursts of applause. The charac ter is a very exacting one, and none but an actress of fine powers and thorough schooling could give it even intelligently, but Janauschek invests it with an artistic finish and dramatic power that only she could give. The characterization is one of strong individuality and thorough excellence. The play itself was presented with the original music and choruses, and scenic accessories, which added much to its picturesqueniss. The first two acts, in which considerable comedy is introduced, make a striking contrast with the heavier scenes which follow, and the comedy is of such a character as to require capable people to properly present it The company is an unusually good one, every part in the cast heing carefully and intelligently sustained. Mr. Eberle's Domi nie Sampson was admirably done throughout, and equal excellence can be attributed to the worK of Mr. Chaplin, Mr. Stuart, Miss Shannon, a pleasing and graceful actress, Mies Kate Fletcher and Miss Lcicb. "Meg Merrilies" will be repeated to-night and to-morrow night, and at tho matinee to morrow Janauschek will appear in tho beautiful play "Mother and Son." English's opera house. At English's Opera-house. Bartley Campbell's great spectacular drama Clio;" was presented last night V? a large audience. The play has been ftn hire before, and the size of the audi ence that witnessed it last night demonstrated the favor with which its previons presentations have been received. It is written in Mr. Campbell's best vein and possesses sufficient dramatic merit to hold the interest throuehout,. independ ent of the unusual scenic and mechanical accessories, which are of the best. The company, as a whole, is fairly good, equal to all reouireraents, and the performance f.oes smoothly and evenlv. Mr. John L. Burleigh, who takes the part of Fabian, the artist, is an actor of talent, and will be remembered by play goers as the leading support of George C. Miln, the preacheractor. "Miss Syril Johnstone took the role of Clio with credit She is possessed of a good stage presence, an excellent voice, and acts with spirit and understanding. Miss Johnstone Ben nett, as Didi, and Mr. Odell Williams, as Mar quis iUatto, 'an oia- campaigner, are deserving of mention, while the other ladies and gentlemen ot the company average fairly well. The ballet, led by JUlle. Cornalba, is by no means the least attractive feature of the entertainment, while the premiere is with out a superior. The scenery is good, especially the earthquake scene, in which the palace of the king of France is made to collapse. Clio may be see acain to night and to morrow night and at tho matinee to-morrow. NOTES. On account of the constantly increasing busi ness it has been decided not to change the bill at the Mnseum, but Mr. Frayne will continue playing "Mardo, the Hunter," throughout the weeu. The Lden Musee is drawing many people with its new attractions. Mr. Julius Kahn is in the city arranging for the Wallaek Theatre success. "Jack; or, Life in Bohemia," at the (rnd the latter part of next week, with Mr. Ehen Plrmton in the title role. The play had a run of two hundred nights at the Royalty Theatre, London, and is a comedy drama. Prosperity of an Insurance Company. ine Indiana r ire insurance uompany nas in creased its capital stock to $150,000, besides .which it has increased its set surplus and de-

clared a dividend. At the annnal meeting of the stockholders this week, X. S. Byram was reelected president, Charles E. Dark, vice-president; M. V. McGilliard, secretary, and Theo. P. Haughey, treasurer. The last year's business of the company was unusually large and profitable. ENTERTAINED BY THE EXECUTIVE.

Governor Gray Gives His First Reception to the Members of the Legislature. , Governor Gray and wife extended their hospitalities, last evening, to the members of the Legislature, and nearly all accepted the invitation and were present. The connecting parlors are well adapted to entertaining. The Governor and Mrs. Gray were assisted by their son, Mr. Pierre Gray, and his. wife, and Mis3 Anderson, their guest from Dakota, Mrs. Allen Zollar?, Mrs. H. C. Levi and sister, Mis3 Wolf, Misses Virginia and Caroline Cooper,-and Miss Genevieve Elliott The dining-room was arranged for the serving of refreshments, the eenter-table being tastifully decorated with flowers. The reception will probably be followed by one or two others of a like character, and will give an opportunity for the members to become better acquainted socially with each other and with citizens of the city. Among those present last night were Senators J. M. Dresser and wife, of Lafayette; J. S. Day and wife, of New Albany; O. A. Tiopett, J. P. Cox. L. P. Mullinix, J. H. C. Mitt, S. W. Hall, H. M.

THE RECOUNT OF VOTES. It Progresses Slowly Under Watchful Eyes Dr. Wagner Loses Three Yotes. Tho recount in the quo warranto proceedings instituted by Wm. Irvin and Dr. Theodore Wagner against Ayres and Rooker began before Judge Howe yesterday morning, the bags con taining the ballots being carried from the United States Clerk's office, where they are yet in custody, as they are needed. The work of recounting is exceedingly slow, and goes on under a sufficient number of widely awake eyes to insure exactness. Those attending to the count are seated at a long table. Judge Howe, at the head of the table, takes the ballots out of the bag; Henry S. Spaan, with every eye rivited upon him, takes them one at a time off the string and hands them to the Judge, who examines the ballot calling from each the candidate voted for for judge of the Criminal Court ''and coroner, passing it to Mr. Elam, who, after examination, passes it to John Duncan, who strings it. The clerks are Howard Cale and Sullivan, Rooker's constable. Attorneys Spencer and Van Vorhis are seated at the table, representing Mr. Rook er. Messrs. Duncan and bpaan are in the inter est of Ayres, and Mr. Elam is for Mr. Irvin and Dr. Waener. Dr. -Wagner . is on hnd as an in terested spectator. Mr. Irviijlst- side-table, keeping ta'ly for himself, and Albert Ayres is also making believe to be at the same work. Tne First ward and two precincts of the Sec ond ward were recounted. In the first precinct of the First ward Dr. Wagner lost one vote, which was a gain - of one to Morrison, and also one in each of the two becond-ward precincts that were counted, making a net gain of three for Morrison. There were no changes in the vote for criminal judge. Spectators were not al lowed within the court railing while the count is going on. Mr. "Goose" Eden was present a mere looker-on but was not called upon for any suggestions. ' Trying to Work the City. Some of the county officers are trying to make the city pay for certain county advertising. There are twelve or fifteen different kinds of blanks used in the Mayor's Court by the prosecuting attor ney for State cases. County Commissioner Sahm is of the opinion that because the name of Caleb S. Denny, Mayor of Indianapolis, is upon these blanks, the cases coming before him as a magistrate, the city ought to pay for them. The indications are that Mr. Sahm will shortly have access of information that will induce him to reverse his opinion. Legislation for the Militia. The captains of nearly all the military com panies of the State held a conference at Adju tant-general Koontz's office, yesterday, regard ing needed military legislation. It was deter mined to make another effort to procure an annual appropriation for the support of the mili- ... v - tary companies, and a committee of five was ap pointed to draft a bill to be presented. The mem bers of the Assembly have been canvassed by the interested persons, and the outlook for the passage of a bill of the nature asked is thought to be quite favorable. Small Losses from Fire. C. H. Holdt's bakery, No. 343 South Delaware street, caught fire at 4 o clock last evening from oil boiling over into the fire. The inEide of the baking-room was badly damaged. The total loss is estimated at $200, covered by insurance. The residence of John Teckenbock, No. 241 South Mississippi street, was partially destroyed by fire last evening, originating, it Is supposed, from a defective flue. The second story of the residence, with its contents, was entirely destroyed, involving a loss of $300. The property was insured. Maliciously Prosecuted for Larceny. James Hamilton, who was arrested at his mother's residence in this city on New Year's day on a warrant from Terre Haute, charging him with grand larceny, returned from that place last evening honorably acquitted of the charge. Mr. Hamilton spent a few weeks in Terre Haute the latter part of last year, and his arrest is said to have been spite work on the part of some enemies he made while there.

ONE HUNDBED AND THREE

And He Played on the Harp a Thousand Strings. of Hoase Which Daes Not Hans: Its Harps Upon the Willows, hut Sends Them Broadcast to Gladden and Cheer Humanity. "And be played on the harp of a thousand strings." So said the ancient hard-shell Baptist in his famous disquisition. Who this famous musician was nobody knows, and probably no one ever will know. And that harp with a thousand strings, what a wonderful instrument it must have been. None like it was ever heard of before or since. There are several churchorgans in the city which have more than a thousand pipes, and it. is easy to understand how, by a manipulation of stops with hands and feet, the notes upon a thousand pipe 3 could be made to send forth their sweet tones. But imagination is lost in wonder when a harp with a thousand strings is placed in position, and the performer is expected to touch with artistie power so large a number cf notes and bring from them perfection of melody. In this Nation and among this people the old-fashioned harp has no place. Ever since the children of Israel hung their harps upon the willows this sacred instrument has, in a measure, taken a position of disrepute. It has at least assumed a different form. Few persons ever stop to think that the piano of to-day is the harp of the long, long ago. It is but the mark of science and art in so arranging the strings that ease of manipulation is attained, coupled with power and sweetness of tone, which give it the leading place in the hearts and minds of this music-loving age. In the past quarter of a century there has been great advance made in bringing the piano to a state of perfection, but it has remained for the last year or two to develop an artistic finish and superb design in style which astonish and delight the esthetic, mind. When Mr. Theo. Pfafiln caught a Journal representative, yesterday, and led him captive through a perfect labyrinth of magnificent pianos and organs, at his extensive salesrooms, an enthusiasm of more than usual fervor lit up the features of this prince of piano dealers. "In all my experience of twenty years in the piano trade," said Mr. Pfafflin, "I have never seen pianos and organs broueht to such perfection in all their details. Did you ever look upon any musical instrument which is the equal of this," said he, as he conducted the easily led representative to the display window with its Turkish draperies hanging gracefully and forming a booth in which was exhibited a solid mahogany upright Knabe piano. The instrument is barren of veneer, and only the rich-colored natural wood reflected its brilliance and beauty. The whole is inlaid with beaten brass. The finish of the wood is so complete that its surface is almost like a mirror. Running his fineera over the keys there burst forth the sweetest sounds soft, rich, voluminous, and the music-loving knight of the pencil was lifted so near to heaven's border land that he could almost see the pearly gates and catch the echoes of the angelic choir. Near by was an ebony piano of the same make, with carved panels, which, for beauty of exterior, has never been surpassed, it being only a question of taste as to color between this and the first named instrument. Either one of them would grace the palace of a king. Several genuine French walnut and solid mahogany uprights of the celebrated and popular Hallett & Davis manufacture were conspicuous in stock. An English walnut upright of the same make comes in for its share of praise. But to givo a perfect description of all these superb instru ments is utterly out or the question. J. be Hallett & Davis has grown in great favor amone the musical classes on account of its smeing quality and power of tone, which are produced by the double agraffe bridge peculiar to this in strument, and which is contained in no other piano manufactured. There have been more of these instruments sold in this section of late years than of any other make. In addition to the Hallett & Davis and the Knabe, the Everett piano was prominent in stock. This is un doubtedly the best medium-priced instrument on market Its style of finish is scarcely a grade inferior to the high-priced pianos, and only the expert eye could detect the difference, as only the cnltured ear is able to detect the contrast in tone. Amid the hundrads of pianos were displayed a line of organs for parlor, church and lodge. Among them, and well known as the leading organ of the country, was the Story & Clark. Like the Knabe and the Itallet & Davis pianos, tne Mory Ac Clark organ nas a reputation which needs not to be added to, and which competitors cannot detract from.. It may be a source of satisfaction to the host of friends of Theo. Pfafflin & Co. to know that during the month of December alone their sales of pianoA and orsraus numbered one hundred and three. The books were displayed showing the date of sale, number of instrument, price and by whom 6old. Every piano and organ on this list was a bona fide sale. None of them were sold during October and November and then classed as holiday sales, but all were sold actually and positively durine the month of December. Of these one hundred and three instruments a number of them were of the highest-priced class, and many homes of the city and surrounding towns were recipients of most elegant holiday offerings. The sweet strains which shall issue from these superb in struments during the next twelve months will largely condu;e to a happy New Year to all such homes. Said Mr. Pfafflin: "We feel specially grateful to the public for their generous patronage the past year, due, we are satisfied, to an appreria tion of our low prices, easy terms and superi ority of instruments." Certainly the friends of Theo. Plafflin & Co. can all join in wishing this enterprising firm renewed prosperity during the new year just entered upon. v mo IS OUR MOTTO.
