THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1893.

JJreidentbal shutoiTtbo demand and called upon Mr. Todd to dismiss the congregation "with a benediction. The eve of the meeting of the Kansas Legislature presents a puzzling situation of affairs. The enactment of all legislation and the election of a Senator depends upon the organization of tho House. Everything pointing to the organization is In a chaotic state. The Kepublicans have a majority of one over the Democrats in the House, and it wonld apcear that they ought to ellect organization. The entire aixtythreo Republicans attended a caucus this morning, and they can be depended upon to stand together upon every issue. They aro confident of being able to organize. The Populists, too. nre confident of controlling the organization, although they decline to make known the basis of their confidence. They have been in canens almost continually throughout the day, but no definite news of their plans have been permitted to leak out. One conteraflatrs the exclusion from tho floor of tho louse of all members whose seats are contested. The Populists have tiled eighteen contests and the Republicans but seven, so that the exclusion plan would give the Pooulists a good, safe majority. The Secretary of State may appoint door-keepers and may instruct them to admit only such persons as he desires. In this manner members whose seats are contested may be excluded. This would necessitate the employment of a large guard to keep the contesting members from forcing their way. and that would doubtless result in a riot, 'which both sides say they are anxious to avoid. Another plan is for the Secretary of State, in reading the list of members-elect, to omit the names of members whose seats Are contested, to refuse to swear them In, and in calling the roll on temporary organization to refma to allow them to vote. The Republicans have arranged to counteract the scheme by proceedings in the Supremo Court. The court opens its January term to-morrow and an injunction could be speedily procured to prevent the plans being carried into effect. Pending the proceeding no act of the Populists or of the Republicans would be legal and no legislation coald be enacted or a Senator chosen until the Supreme Court abould decide between the two parties. Tie Democrats held a caucus to-day, bnt they would not make pa blio the proceedings, liyan and Dinsmore have attended tho Populist caucus, and they say they did lo on the understanding that they werenot boned by the caucus action so far as it concerned the election of Senator. There is no doubt that the Democrats will do ail in their power to maintain the power which they bold on joint ballot as between the Republicans and Populists. Jerry bimpson, in his speech at the inangural exercises thin evening, made sensational utterances indicative of the policy which tho Populists intend to pursue in the organization of tho House. His speech echoed the sentiments expressed by Governor Lewellyn in the latter's inaugural address this evening. Simpson said that the people had expressed their will at the polls. That was that the Populists should govern the State in all its branches. The Republicans, by means foul, bad stolen a majority in tho lower house. Unfortunately the jaw of the btate as Interpreted by a Republican Supreme Court not only sanctioned the robbery, but legalized it. In the development of civilisation it became necessary at times, to override unjust laws and place above them tho Fights of th people. Such a time seemed sow to have arrived, and the law which permitted the Republicans to obtain by fraud the organization of the lower house must be made subservient to tho will of tho people. THE ELECTORAL VOTE.

Xleaolt of the Balloting In the Various States Yesterday North Dakota's Surprise. The formality of voting for President and Vice-president was carried out at the various State capitals yesterday. The electors met. cast their ballots as directed by the people at tbe polls last November (except in North Dakota), signed three certificates to that eilccr, and selected a messenger to carry one of the certificates to Washington and deliver it to tbe president of the United States Senate. The second certificate was mailed to tbe Senate ana the third was deposited with the United States judge for the district in which the electors met. The three electors in Kotlh Dakota evidently wanted to create a little sensation. It was understood that two wuld vote for Weaver and ono for Harrisofr, but when they met each cast a vote for difierent candidates Harrison. Cleveland and Weaver. Proceeding in the other States was not marked bv nnusual incident, unless tbe "firing" of reporters from the Illinois Electoral College could be regarded as such. The Suckers preferred to cast their ballots in secret, and they dtd so. The following table shows the vote as recorded by the electors yesterday: CI eve- llarri- Wealand. ton. rer.

J Davidson, member of the Democratic li at fohal committee for Montana, and one of the members of the House of lieprcsentatiTes from this county, was carried into the ball. It was understood that a vote on the Hamilton-Leech contest would be taken to-day, and Davidson's physicians gave their consent to have him taken to the session. Arriving at the House, he was put into an invalid's chair, and four stout men cj$ried him into the ball. The chair was deposited in the center of the hall, and the bueaker came down to him and administered the oath of office. The lobby was jammed with people, and no sooner had tho oath been subscribed by him thau a cheer went up that could bo heard for a Mcclc. An appeal was made to the Republicans to pair with the sick man. but no one reepended. After eoin discussion it was determined to postpone action upon the Hamilton-Leech case until to-morrow. Davideon was excused aud another cfiort will bo made to secure a pair for him. Kteventon Thanks tho Elector. SrniNGHFLD, 111., Jan. 0. Clovernor Altfeldt will bo inaugurated to-morrow.

Kichard Croker, according to a report to-nisht, has within tho last two days personally assured Presidentelect Cleveland that, should I'd ward Murphy, jr., be chosen to the United States Senate, he would, in no way embarrass tbe administration. On tbe contrary, he would seek to co-operate with Mr. Cleveland in every way possible to make his regime harmonious nd successful. Mr. Croker was said to have carried Mr. Murphy's pledga to this effect. What tbe reply of tho President-elect was could not be aecertained.

'I'olitical Note. William J. .Stone was inancruatcd Governor of Missouri yesterday, the exercises taking place in the Capitol at JclTerson City. The Populists of Wyoming in caucus last evening nominated William Hinton for Senator, and announce that they will stand by him. All but threo of tho Kew York presidential electors, at their meeting yesterday, voted for a resolution favoring Edward Murphy, jr.. for United States Senator. It is generally believed that Stephen White, Democrat, will be elected United States Senator by tbe California Legislature. The balloting takes place on the 17th inst. The Columbus Jackson Club, tho leading Democratic organization in central Ohio, celebrated St. Jackson's day with a banquet last evening. Senator Urice was the principal speaker. The dead-lock in the Colorado Senate was broken yesterday by a combination of Populists and Democrats. Kennedy, tho Democratio candidate, was elected Secretary by 0 to 15 votes, - The Washington Legislature will probably choose a United States Senator to-day or Wednesday. The organization has not been perfected, lioth Senator Allen aud Judge Turner are confident of winning. SECRETARY .NOBLE OVERRULED. Oklahoma's Chief-Justice Awards a Valuable Homestead to a Deputy Marshal - Guthrie, O. T., Jan. 0. Chief-justice Green decidod to-day that Hansom Payne, a deputy United States marshal, who was acting at the time of the opening of this Territory, under Col. W. C. Jones, was entitled to his rights, as a bona tide settler, of the north half of East Guthrie. The judge hands down an opinion which makes over three thousand words, in which be says that Secretary Noble has no right to add to laws made by tho national Congress which would debar a man who was in the Territory lawfully and acting as a United States official from hrraesteading a piece of land by going on it after 12o'clool, April 22, im BRAYE XEIY lORK FIREMEN". By Frompt Action They Save the Lives of Three Women Fire Lom of 0330,000. Nf.w York, Jan. 0. Fireman Patrick O'Keefe deserves a medal for bravery. While on an elevated train early this morning he noticed a fire in tbe paint store at No. Ill Second avenue. The building is a four-story apartment-house. On the third floor lived Mrs. Abrams, aged eighty-three, her daughter, Mrs. Getz, and Mrs. Gotz's daughter. The smoke from the burning paint filled the atmosphere, and when tbe women attempted to escape they found it impossible to do so. Fireman O'Keefe caught sight of the women at 'the thirdstory window calling' for help. O'Keefe ran to the front platform of the car, and polling the gate open, sprang off on to the narrow board walk at the side of tho track. He then ran back to tbe Fifty-seveuth-streot station and dashed down stairs. A minute later he was in front of the burning building. A noliceinan had jnnt placed a stepladder from the sidewalk to tbe narrow shed over the storo door, and was' part way up it. O'Keefe called him down, and mounting the step-ladder to tbe shed, hanled tho ladder up after him. Placing it on the roof of the shed, which is only about four feet wide, he made his way up to the window where he had seen the women. They had disappeared. Making his way Into the room, he groped his way to?ough the thick smoke to tho rear room. There ho found Mrs. Abrams lying on the Hour, nearly sufiocated. He carried her to the front window. Uy this time other tiremen were a the scene. Firemen Hanbnry and Devin placed a thirty-iive-foot ladder up to the window, and ran np to assist O'Keefe. Giving the unconscious woman into Hatibury's care, O'Keefe and Devin went back for the other two women. Tbeyountz: woman was clad only In her nightdress, aud was nearly frantio with fright O'Keefe took Mrs. Getz in his arms and ctrried her down tho ladder, while I )evjn followed him with Mis Getz. The throe women were taken to the rooms occupied by Mr. Abrauis'a son. bnt it was sometime before Mrs. Ahram recovered. The Humes burned out tho paint store and tho hall and stairway of the tirst ilocr and did slight damage in the tirst flat. Shortly after ? o'clock this morning fire was discovered in tho six-story building. Xos. 43 to 47 Elizabeth street, occupied on 1 the lirst three iloors by Drederick, Doll & Co., furniture dealers, and by iierliner, Strauss & Danzor, and Altman, Summer .V Co., neck-wear manufacturers. The structure was destroyed and a loss of $25J,CKK) sustained. There was a uamo ninong tbe hundreds of men and women employes, but all got out safely. V Fire at Crested Unite. Crfptkd BtTTTE. Col., Jan. 9. Fire broke out on the main business street here early this morning and spread with wonderful rapidity, destroying several largo business houses. Investigation has shown that some one maliciously interfered with the water supply by putting obstructions into the watermainp. Thefire was undoubtedly of incendiary orisin. Tho loss will exceed $T5.LC0. Heavy Failure nt Toledo.' Tolfdo, Jan. y.The lirra of Duey.

The assets of the firm are set at about i.50,00a The failure, it is said, was occasioned by a disagreement of the partners. About a year nco W. A.

O.A longexiiting feud between tho Lawsons and S winefords, who live about six miles southwest of this city, resulted in a deadly battla yesterday morning in Forrest Chapel just alter tho morning service was over. The church was iillect with women and children at the time. The battle was precipitated by a savage attack upon Sanford Morris by Louis Swineford. Morris was knooked senseless by a blow on the head with a "sling-shot." Others interfered, and soon a dozen men were engaged in a fierce and bloody oil ray. Windows were smashed, the seats uptoro and broken, and tho wildest confusion prevailed. Knives and clubs were freely used by the clashing parties. Finally the Law son faction, who had been get tiug much the worst of tbe fight, broke away and escaped, Sanford Morris was seriously cut on the bttad, faoo and arms. Irwin Lawson received seven severe scalp wounds, and one in the Bide. He is dangerously injured. William Lawson was stabbed in tho neck and head. Louis Swineford escaped with several severe cuts. Five others were also badly injured, hut not so daugerously. Warrants were issued to-day for tho arrest of the entire party. Tbe event created the most intense excitement in that community, and it is not improbable that another clash may occur belore the parties are placed under arrest. BROTHERHOOD 3IES NOT ALAR3IED. Sir. Deba Say There Is Kn Danger or the 1'ennsjlvanla Policy Spreading. Special to taa 1 mllanapolls Joarnal. Trimi; Haute, Ind., Jan. 9. Tho press dispatch printed this morning to the effect that tho Vandalia railway system had decidod to follow tho example of the Pennsylvania and discharge all freight-handlers who refuse to leave tboir unions was news to General Manager Williams. Tho dispatch, further said that the Pennsylvania's agent at Indianapolis had said all tbe roads had decided to make a determined stand against every class of organized labor. There is reason for believing that this cannot be true as regards tho Vandalia, whose rnauagerhas frequently said that he did not look with disfavor on the railway employes' labor organizations, bnt, on the contrary, found that he could settle difficulties much better with tho executive officers of pome of the organizations than it there were no organization. At tbe headuarters of the Brotherhood of Locomotive J iremon the alleged stand taken by the Pennsylvania was discussed, but with a doubt as to tbe truth ot the report that this powerful corporation would make war on labor organizations, Tho brother;hood has the largest membership and is perhaps the strongest of any of the railway employes' orders. Grand Secretary Debs, who has been a grand officer for ten years or more, said this morning that he did not believe other railway systems wonld adopt tho policy, though the Pennnylvania succeeded in wiping the unions off that system. He believes that, with bol: exceptions, tbe managers of railways and the executive officers of tho brotherhoods are becoming more conservative, and that there is no longer tho feeling of distrust, to say tho least, between the two sides, which too often in the past led to hasty action and disastrous strikes. He believes that the timo is coming within ' a 4 esr4 few years when both the - railways manager and the brotherhood executiTe ollioer wpnld consider it a personal disgrace to be in any way connected with a strike. He is confident, from information received in a personal way and from his acquaintance with the sentiments of the managers of many of the larger corporations, that no general warfare, such as the Pennsylvania is said to contsmplatu this year, is at all prooatde. Tho Pennsylvania has had no. irritatlngcontroversies with irstnen in late years, nothing to provoke the heroic course proposod. It is true, however, that tho system i3 better prepared for such a contest than any of tbe other large ones. The brotherhoods are not so strong on the Pennsylvania as elsewhere, and especially those organizations that are elsewhere the strongest and at the same time the most conservative. For instance, perhaps not more than two-thirds of the engineers belong to the brotherhood. The cause of this discrepancy dates back to tho strikes oflS73 and 177. In the latter year the Pennsylvania employed scab engineers, and these, owing to rnks of the order, as well as inharmonious personal relations, bavo not become members of the brothorhood. S3IAP.T ALECK GAS CO 31 PAN Y Slay, L.oe Its Charter for Attempting to Btlll4 dozo Loganvport Citizens. f?pecisl to the Indi&naoolis JoaraaL Looansport. Ind., Jan. 0. The gas war which hns been waging in this city against au increase of rates readied a climax today. During the recent cold spell about four-fifths of tbo mixers wero bored out by private consumers who were beiag frozen out. The gas company, ifatnrday, turned otl'the gas of abont forty of these, and the Loganspott Journal attacked the company severely for it This morning the gas company turned oflf the Journal company's gas in retaliation, though no mixers had been bored there. Kind friends brought a wrench and turned the gas on again, aud when the gas company tried again to shut it off a crowd of four or five hundred, who had assembled, carried the gas company's officers away. The crowd then placed a rock, weighing a thousand pounds, over the shut-off, while the Journal company got an injunction. The City Council met in extra session to-night, and passed on ordinance making it a penal offense to shut off consumers who had paid. The State of Indiana commenced proceedings for the appointment of a receiver for the company under the statutes. Abont thirty other complaints were hied against tbe gas company, and citizens are unanimously demanding that its charter bo taken away. The .Journal office is brilliantly illuminated to-night, well-heated, and thronged with congratulating citizens. A SLOW-FOOTED VARMINT.

The strange animal that has made its unwelcome appearance in this vicinity was again seen Sunday evening, and it came very near capturing ono of IJrownsburg's citizens. James Adams, who resides in the south part of town, was milking his cows when tbe animal suddenly slipped up from the other side of the cow and struck a powerful blow at Mr. Adams with its paw. Mr. Adams started for the house, with the auiinal close at his heels, and luckily he reached tho floor aSead of tbo beast. He then "sicked'' his two large bull-doga on tbe varmint and slipred out to a neighbor's houne for a gun. When he returned tbo animal was gone and Lis blooded dogs bad heen whirp-d and torn so badly that one of tbem had to bo killed.

That Ytf runt Scnpecunt Thouaht to Ue Iteponalble for a Suicide, f peciil lo the Indianapolis JunuL Sot'Tit B::ni. Ind., Jan. X The circumstance surrounding the death of Charles II. Knobloek, who was found hanging in his barn, are such that coroner Varirr has ; begun an investigation. Knohlock looked 1 us natural as life. Contrary to tho rule of

persons dying by strangulation his faoe had a natural color, his mouth was closed and his eyes wero shut, in the hay near him was a depression as if some one had sic pt there, and in tho depression a whisky bottle was tound containing about a teaspoonful of liquor. The evidence of lou I play seems so strong that the coroner deems a searching lnuniry necessary. If Knoblcok was fonllv mnrdered thero appears to b no real motive for it. A watch and $5) were found m his pocaets. contradicting any desire at robbery. However, tho surrounding circumstances are peculiar, and coroner Varier will make a diligent investigation.

fcTKUCK BY AN ICE-FLOE. The Steamer Mary Houston Sank In the Ohio at Cincinnati. Cincinnati, Jan. 9. The palatial steamer Mary Houston, tied up at the foot of Main Ftreet. no longer able to stand the strain of ice against her, commenced to 6ink at 2 o'clock to-day. The Houston lay moored at the company's dock. An immenso icefloe camo down the river and struck bcr on the side. The shock was a terrific one, and drove the steamer with g:eal force against the wharf-boat, sendine it heavily against tbe bank. For a few minates it was ! impossible to tell what damage had been done, and it was feared tbat both the steamer and wharf-boat had been wrecked. Then the Houston settled back, and immediately the rush of water into her hold conld be heard. The pumns were manned, and every eftort made to keep her on top of the water, but the task was useless. At 0 o'clock this evening oho settled down, gave a plunge forward, and eanSt to tbo bottom of the river, 'ihe Houston was one of the largest and finest steamern in tbe New Orleans-Cincinnati trade. The loss is 20,00O. insurance, 815.000. Another formidable ice gorge formed above this city this afternoon. Its lower extremity is at tbe mouth of tho Little Miami, abont eight miles above tho public landing. With the present falling temperatura and declining river this new gorge threatens to be formidable. Allthe steamers hero will crowd into tho Licking river for safety.

The Allegheny throughout its entire length is covered with ice, except in a few spots where ripplos or strong springs disturb tho surface. The ice will bear teams, and boats are frozen to tbe shore. On the Monongahela a similar condition exists, the coal men between this city and Brownsville being at tbeir wit's end to secure their Meets against destruction. They are safe just now, but, with tho Hret warm weather, tbe snow melting will cause a sudden flood of snQicient magnitude to drive the ice out, causing gorges at many places. If both rivers rise and go out at once the flood created at the junction with the Ohio will be something terrilic Tlie Gorge at JeffenonTllIe. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
