Between the Two Urarches of the Indiana General Assembly. A 'IOUAT THE SI-NATE DOOR3. Colonel Robertson Kemoved From the Chamber A Stormy Time. Before 9 o'clock yesterday morning the corridor of the Capitol near the Senate Chamber wa3 filled with an eager and excited crowd. There were some innocent -minded rersoES present as spectators, but the purpose of tbe larger part of the crowd may be inferred when it is known that they were Republicans, and that a good-sized club, an Iron bar and at least two revolvers were in their possession. It was doubtless thought that these weapons would be sufficient to overpower the doorkeepers, break down the doors of the Senate Chamber, and establish raobocracy within. Doorkeepers from the llouae, ward, heelers, in short r. mob chosen with a view to muscularity, was headed and incited by AttorneyOeneral Michener, Supreme Court Cierk Noble, Secretary of State Griffin, Auditor Bruce Carr, General ilcUinnis, Speaker Sayre, and above all by that redoubtable knight of the white hat, Sam Kercheval. Inside the chamber all was quiet, it was a suppressed, expectant quiet, however. Most of the Democratic members were in their seats before 9:15 o'clock. President Smith had said on Wednesday evening that the Senate would continue its proceeding with the usual officers, and the faces of the Democratic Senators revea'ed a confidence that the prediction of their leader would be fallfiled. Besides the Senators no one hid been admitted to the chamber except the employes, the reporters and a few others. Several ladies were admitted to the galleries, but no men were allowed to pass the vigilant guards. The Republican Senators were late in arriving. Mr. JIacy was the first to confront the mob through which he must pass to gain admittance to the chamber. When he bad straggled through the crowd of his zealous fellow Republicans and had reached the outside door-keeper the Senator was in no good humor. His spleen was vented, not on the mob which had jostled and hindered him, but on the door-teejrs, whom he denounced in terms that' he had learned from his colleague Huston on the day before. Behind him came Colonel Robertson. A subordinate, not recognizing the wouldbe Lieutenant-Governor as a member of the Senate, at first refused him admittance. Captain 1'richett was called, however, and quickly ordered that Celonel Robertson be admitted. The Colonel nervously removed bis overcoat, walked about a moment and then took a seat beside Colonel John C. New, looking altogether uncomfortable. Mr. Dresser was the next Republican Senator to come in. He pushed excitedly up to President Smith, and, referring to the confusion at the doors said : 8mith This is an outrage. The President replied that it was all the fault of the mob who tried to break into the Senate Chamber on Wednesday. Senator De Motte, after struggling In the mob for some time, reached the door, very much excited. He began damning the doorkeepers, not because he could not get in, but because everybody ehe could not get in. This door shall be open," he cried, and the iron bar which he handled added some force to his threat. Finally he went pell mell into the Chamber, he going one way and his silk hat another. Senator Johnson, who was already ia the room, joined Senator De Motte at the door. Their violent language attracted Senators Howard, of Decatur, Cox and others. Clinched hats were brandished and altogether matters looked serious, when Senator McDonald, the Democratic member from Whitley, hurried into the midst of the meiee, "For God's sake, boys, stop," he said, and began separating the belligerents. Srnator Johnson, the Republican member from Wayne, fell over the arm of a settee in the fracas. Recovering himself he assaulted Senator McDonald. The Utter protested that he bad no vio!ent intentions and only wanted to avoid trouble. "God damn you, I want to hit you anyhow," shouted Johnson, and he struck Senator McDonald a blow on the none Senator Cox, seeing Senator McDonald's face bleeding, started toward the cowardly assailant, whereupon Johnson put his hand into his hip pocket, exclaiming at the same time, "I am armed, and I will kill the first man who touches me!" The revolver was not drawn, however, far doubtless Mr. Johnson noticed, even in his extreme excitement, that muscular Senator Mullinix stood by his side with a very large cane partly raked, ready to break the arm tnat drew a weapon on his colleague. Senator Cox came to the relief of Senator McDonald and, together with Senator Howard, of Decator, quieted the untamed bandit from Wayne. The disturbance at the door continued, but Senator Howard, cool and determined, was master of the situation. Dy eonce very positive language and a more positive expression of face he restored order. At the sight of Johnson's hand in his revolver-pocket there had been a retreat of discreet ladies and others to the remote sir's of the Chamber. Shortly a-'ter ):'.)) o'clock President Smith rapped for order. While he was rapping and betöre anything had been said Colonel Robertson arose and walked rapidly toward the President's desk. At the foot of tb.4 steps leading up to the chair Colonel Robertson was stopped by Assistant Door keepor D. K. Eulger, of Bluffton. Persisting in his effort to ascend the stairs Colonel Robertson was pushed back somewhat violently by Mr. iiulger. Robertson Ihen Haiied to the e:ret&ry'i desk tad be

gan speaking simultaneously with President Smith. Colonel Robertson said: "I have by force been excluded from the position to which the people of Indiana have elected me. I want to make a formal demand " President Smith If the gentleman does not desist be will be put out of this chamber. Colonel Robertson I want to make a statement. Senator Bailey Mr. President, I rise to a point ot order. No person not a member of this Senate has a right to speak here. Mr. Harness This body has not been legally called to order and he has a right to speak bere. President Smith The point of order is well taken by the Senator from Marion, and if the gentleman persists in speaking the Doorkeeper will remove him. Colonel Robertson I am at your mercy. I resident Smith You are safe. We are all unarmed but we are forewarned. Serator Bailey If the gentleman has any grievance he can present it at the proper place. Senator DeMotte was en his feet in the rear of the room during this interchange and tried repeatedly to speak. President niitb The Senator from Porter (Mr. DeMotte) will go to his seat, and if he leaves it again I will see that he leaves the Senate. Senators Harness, Campbell, Huston, in fact all of the Republican Senators, were on their feet quick as cash, protesting that the President had no right to expel members. Pursuant to the order of the chair the doorkeeper bad gone to Senator DeMotte and three times had asked him to take his seat. Upon the Senator's refusing the third time Captain Pritchett forced him to his seat. The chair was broken and Mr. DeMotte temporarily came in contact with the floor. Bat he was seated. There were hot words and a right seemed imminent. President Smith rapped for order and gradually the crowd dispersed to their seats. After a hurried consultation with Colonel Robertson, Senator Huston took the tloor, saying that he wished to explain Colonel Robertson's position. To attract the attention of the chair, Mr. Huston had not addressed him as "Mr. President," but had merely snapped his fingers at him. The insult was evident. Senator Howard, of Decatur Mr. President, I rise to a point of order. The gentleman has not properly addressed the chair. Senator Huston refused to address the President, and, being ruled out of order, took his seat. Colonel Robertson Again I demand President Smith I direct the doorkeeper to remove this person from the Senate and to lock him out. Senator Campbell The Chair has no right to do that; the .Senate alone has the right. President Smith I know what I have a right to do. Senator Fowler I move that this man be taken from this chamber. The motion was put and carried. Captain Pritchett took Colonel Robertson by the arm. The latter secured his overcoat and quietly accompanied the doorkeeper out of the chamber. The Republican members immediately walked to the cloak-room, jeering and yelling at President Smith, who stood quietly in his desk. They found the cloak-room door locked, slowly came back to their seats and proceeded to act, during the rest of the session, the part of "I wont play with you no more." Colonel Robertson was received outside by vociferous cheering. Bruce Carr took his arm and urged an immediate attack on the doors of the chamber. "I will be one of a party to put you back," he said. Representative Kercheval was a second, but, like Samson without his hair, he was no longer himself, for, in sooth, he had lost his white hat In one of the sallies against the door the valorous km'ght wa3 downed and made to lick the maible. He arose, and was very mad, and cried: "You had me down, but I want you to know that I have got a pistol here." And then he missed his white hat, and no one could find it, and Kercheval was inconsolable. So it was that Bruce Carr had to command the forces which had been innamed by Colonel Robertson's announcement that a "big, black man had thrown him thirty feet." Colonel Robertson led the way to the northwest corner of the Capitol, and from the step leading to the third story addressed the crowd. He recited the occurrences within the chamber; said his blood was hot, and he saw that theirs was too, and he urged them not to do anything which in their cooler moments they weuld regret. Obedient to his advice, the crowd gradually dispersed. SCENES IN THE KANSAS HOUSE.

Kx-G over nor St. John Bitterly Denounced by Republicans. Chicago, Feb. 24. An Inter-Ocean special from Topeka, Kas., says: A bill changing the name of St. John County to Legan County was passed in the House of Representatives this morning by a vote of 1 to 54. The county was named in honor of John P, St. John, who, at the time the county was named, was the Republican Governor of Kansas. Several violent speeches were made, among the most bitter being that by Speaker Smith, who declared that St. John was a hypocrite. He said the Republican party had raised Mrr St. John to the office of Governor ot the State, and failing to be elected a third time he played the part of a traitor. He hoped that the name of a man whose infamous treachery to his party had elected a Democratic President, could be obliterated from the history of Kansas forever. Of the sixty-four who yoted for the bill seventeen were Democrats. Four Democrats voted against it. The radical prohibitionists were about equally divided. The bill has already passed the Senate, and received the Governor's signature this afternoon. KEFKES1LNTAT1VE C. II. FA OK. First Democrat Elected to Congres From Khode Island for Thirty-foor Tears. Special to the Sentinel. YVashisitor, Feb. 25. The Democrats in the House to-day were delighted, and the Republicans correspondingly depressed, over the swearing in of C. H. Page, Democratelect from Ü node Island. Three weeks ago the House adopted the report of the committee, that neither Pierce, the sitting member, nor 1'age, the contestant, wre elected. The Republicans were very sore over the matter, and blustered and said they only hoped the election could be held to tret Pierce back bv a thumping big majority before the House adjourned. But it was the Democrat, Page, instead of Pierce who was sworn in this evening, amid applause from the Democrats and hisses on the other side. Fage has six days to serve, and gets the salary i for two years, including mileage, stationery and postage, or $10,0. Mr. Page is the first Democrat elected from Rhode Island for thirty-four years, and he said to the Sentinel that the district is now permanently Democratic. Democrats Feeling flood. Special to the Sentinel. Warsaw, Feb. 25. The Democracy of this county feel better to-day than they ever did before. The entire action of the Democrats in the legislature this winter has met their hearty approval, but there always has been a lingering fear that the Republicans would in some way gain an advantage before the session closed. But that is all clear now, thanks to a Democratic Senate and Governor A. G. Smith. The Republicans are wanting somebody to hold them while they kick themselves. They realize the fact that their leaders at Indian a pol is are simply third-rate clowns in a sec-ond-class circus, instead of men that can lead. Flashingn their pearly sheen, From the glorious coraline, See those teeth untarnished! White alike the back and front Yet, by the fragrant Sozodont, May beauty's jngutfi be garnished

NEW YORK'S GOVERNOR

A Dinner in His Honor by the Yoang Men'i Democratic Club of Brooklyn. Governor Hill' Enthusiastic Reception Hl Address Letters of Kegret From the President and Ills Cabinet. New York, Feb. 22. The annual dinner of ths Y'oung Men's Democratic Club of Brooklyn was given to-night in that city partly in honor of Governor Hill. Senator Cclquitt, of Georgia, and General John C. Black, of Illinois, were among the guests. Letters of regret were read from President Cleveland, Seoretary Bayard, ex-Secretary Manning, Serator Thurman, Attorney-General Garland, Postmaster General Vilas and Secretary Whitney. In the course of his opening remarks President Frederick R. Lee, of the club, said: "The Democratic party has been strengthened by the continued success of President Cleveland's Administration, and his enforcement of the civil service law meets our heartiest approval. We approve the policy of the Administration in steadfastly opposing a rupture with our Cananian neighbors. The recent courageous veto by the President of the dependent pension bill receives our heartiest commendation." GOVERNOR HIT.L'S RECETTIO Gov. Hill was received with loud and long continued acclamations when he rose to respond to the toast "National Democracy." The speaker paid a glowing tribute to Thomas Jefferson, whom he characterized as the) founder of the Democratic party, whose historic principles the speaker glowingly described. He said these principles had guarded the party in Its earlier days and later was added the now fully accepted "Monroe doctrine," and later still, under Jackson, that admirable system of an independent treasury adopted and ever since maintained. Subsequently the party's demands included the support of an honest currency, opposition to all sumptuary laws, the reduction of war taxes in times of peace, economy in public expenditures and liberal pensions for deserving soldiers. The speaker declared that the Democracy was wrongfully chiselled out of United States Senators in New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island by Republican election machinery. The control of the United States Senate was maintained by the two votes of Ntvada, which, he said, was decreasing in population, and had only O'j.OJO inhabit-' ants. He declared reform was necessary to prevent majorities from misconduct. The history of the Democratic party was that of the country itself. Its every page was emblazoned with the achievements of Democratic statesmen and Democratic soldiers. Every important acquisition of territory total had been made was by Democratic administrations, comprising over 3,000,000 square miles. Kvery struggle against foreign foes was instituted by Democratic statesmen. The speaker continued: Governor F.raker, of Ohio, spoke at the late Republican dinner here. He is a gentleman who came into this State in LSS5 to aid in my election by injecting into the canvass the 'bloody shirt' issue. I feel under great obligations to him for his valuable services unremittingly rendered in my behalf. I take this, my first appropriate opportunity, to tender him my heartfelt thanks. I trust he may live long and visit us again in our campaigns. The Republican party was brought into life upon a sectional issue and ever since has continued to be a sectional party, having no foothold in one-third of the states of the Union. It appeals to prejudices which forbids it ever becoming a national party or securing the confidence of the people. It has been a minority party ever since its eisistence. It, in troublesome times, trampled on the rights of the people. It usurped arbitrary power; it invaded the personal liberty of the citizens, it violated the right of the habeas corpus, carried elections by force and the aid of visiting statesmen. It gives away public land to railroads corporations instead of reserving them for actual settlers. Yoa can't point to a single instance wherein the Democratic party has been guilty of either these wrongs or wherein a Democratic Legislature has failed in its constitutional duty relating to representation. It must be owned that Mr. Cleveland's Administration has given the country the benefit of honest economy. His integrity and sincerity have never been questioned. The laws have been faithfully executed, the revenues collected with diligence, the expenses of the Government have been reduced, foreign affairs conducted with conservatism ar.d dignity. In fact, Cleveland's administration has fulfilled every promise." Senator Colquitt replied briery to the toast, "The New South." General John C. Black, of Illinois, replied to the sentiment, "The President of the United States." A SOLEMN AND RELIGIOUS SCENE. I.ajlng of the Corner Stone of the Canadian Chnrch College at Home. Rome, Feb. 24.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE HOUSE.

A Number of Dills Passed Mr. Gardiner's He c old During the War. The House was opened with praver yesterday by Rev. W. H. Widman. Mr. Buckles moved to take up the unfinished business on the Speaker's table. This was agreed to, and Mr. Carrick's bill requiring owners of hedge fences to trim them during certain seasons of the year was placed upon its passage. The yeas were 71 and the nays 20. Mr. Leighty's bill fixing the time for the commencement of th; terms of office of Township Trustees was read a third time and passed. The yeas were 83 and the Eays 0. Mr. Pleasants' bill regulating weights and measures was read a third time and passed. Mr. Patton said he was opposed to the bill, as it was useless to take up and print a bill like this just to cheat the old lady out of a few pounds of butter. Yeas, 22; nays, 00. Mr. llarley's bill for improvement in water courses was passed yeas, 68; nays, 15. Mr. Foster's bill to prohibit the killing or trapping of quail provoked a good deal of discussion. Mr. Robinson and Mr. Stubblefield made about the same speecnei that they did when the bill was first presented. The bill was passed by a vote of yeas, 51; nays, 32. Mr. McCrea's bill amending the act for laying out streets and alleys and highways and water courses was passed by a vote of yeas, 72; nays, 15. Mr. Morse's bill requiring notice of accident to be given in cities of 70,001 inhabitants by persons injured through the negligence of tne city within sixty days from the date ot such injury came up. Mr. Cox opposed the bill because it required a person to give notice at the time he may be still disabled by the injury and required him in that short time to set it out as particularly as an attorney would in a bill of facts. Mr. Gardiner did not think the city ought to require such a notice. Mr. Maior opposed it because it was class legislation. The bill failed to pass by yeas 2S to 01 nays. Mr. Morse's bill to fix the boundaries of cities of over 70,U.n) was opposed by Mr. Gordon, who thought the scheme of the bill was to bring in all the outside suburbs and farm property. Mr. Griffiths explained that the intention was to exclude farm property that was already in and not to include more, and he therefore voted aye. The vote on the passage of the bill was yeas, 78; nays, 10. Mr. Niblack's bill creating an Appellate Court was then read, and a motion to take a recess until 2 o'clock was carried. When the House was called to order at 2:30 o'clock, Mr. Gardiner arose to a question of privilege, and proceeded to refer to Mr. Patton's remarks, made on Monday, in which he referred to Mr. Gardiner as "having once been an honored member of the Democratic party and during the war was a member of the Knights of the Golden Circle." Mr. Gardiner tuen, under the privilege of the House, made a stump speech in which he admitted having been a Democrat up to 1SC4, since which time, he claimed no connection with that party. He denied having been a member of the Knights of the Golden Circle, but said that in 1S02 and lso:; he was a member of the Circle of Honor, a Democratic organization In James County. This was previous to the organization of the Knights of the Golden Circle, and since that time many of his fellow members of the Circle of Honor had reached high and honorable positions. Mr. Garrison raised the point of order that Mr. Gardner could not, under the privilege, deliver a tirade against the Democratic party. The Speaker overruled the point, and Mr. Gardner continued his speech condemnatory of the Democratic and laudatory of the Republican party. Mr. Patton, in his reply, said that for Mr. Gardner personally he had some respect; for his political affinities he had the utmost contempt. The gentleman had said: "Would to God that I had the sword of a soldier." When the war broke out Mr. Patton shouldered his musket and went to the front. But where was the gentleman from Daviess, who, in his magnificent manhood, preferred to remain at home away from danger and to engage in the organization of secret political societies. Mr. Patton had no apologies to make for having left the Republican party and joined the Democratic party. He charged that Mr. Gardner had voted for Greeley in 1872 which the latter admitted when put to the test. In his behalf Mr. Patten said that in 18iK he was placed on the Democratic ticket in Sullivan County because of his opposition to the amendments to the Constitution conferring suffrage upon the negroes, and he became a Democrat because he could not endorse the tenets and practices and corruption ot the Republican party of the war. No man could stand up before him, face to face, and charge that he had chaaged his E)litic8 for a little office. He had become a emocrat through conviction that the Democratic party was right, and because that party was the people's party, and he had no apologv to make. Mr. Haley moved that when the House adjourned it be until Monday at 2 o'clock. The yeas and nays were demanded. The vote was yeas, 40; nays, 41, and the motion was adopted. The order of business was then resumed, and Mr. Niblack proceeded to explain his Appellate Court Bill, which was under consideration when the House adjourned at noon. It creates an Appellate Court at Indianapolis. Mr. Jewett spoke against the bill as not being the best thing obtainable, and thought that House Bill 414, introduced by himself to create a Court of Appeals would more readily relieve the pressure now upon the Supreme Court. He did not lind fault with the Appellate Court Bill, but he did not approve of that plan of relieving the courf. Mr. Brown pointed out reasons why the Dill should not pass. Mr. Kellison spoke at length in opposition to the bill, claiming that what relief it afforded, if any at all, would be too expensive to justify. He favored intermediate county courts with exclusive probate jurisdiction, to powers in suits now conferred upon Justices of the Peace. At the closs of his remarks Mr. Kelilson moved that the bill be recommitted to the Committee on Organization of Courts, with instructions to strike out all of the enacting clause and insert a bill in according with resolution offered by Mr. Gardner. Mr. Niblack moved that the consideration of the bill be postponed until Monday at 2 o'clock. The House then adjourned. Terrible Mortality, Rome, Feb. 24. Details have been received this morning of the results of the earthquake yesterday, showing that the effects were far more serious than was thought. The loss of life and destruction of property is learned to have been terrible. The most startling news comes from the Genoese Riviera. Overl,500 people were killed in that district. At the village of Bajardo, situated at the top of a mil, a number of the inhabitants took refuge in a church when the shocks were first felt A subsequent and greater shock demolished the church and 000 of the people who were in it were killed. The destruction of property in the sections of Italy visited by the earthquake was immense and widespread. H or sford's Acid Phosphat IVESSATIFCT0RT RESULTS. Dr. O. W.

TERRIBLE STATE OF AFFAIRS.

Condition of the Sammlt Connty Infirmary at Akron, Ohio. CLEVtLAKn, Feb. 24. The committee, with Secretary Bayers of the Board of State Charities et their head, who have been investigating the management of the Summit County Infirmary at AkroD, made their report today. The committee request the resignation of Superintendent Hamiin and physician Fouser and suggest numerous reforms in the system of management. The report declares that it is remarkable that more illegitimate births have not resulted from the indiscriminate herding of sexes, and says the air is foul and sickening in the insane building, and that the cells afford neither seclusion nor isolation. The report condemns the superintendent and his wife for failing to visit the insane department for days at a time, and says: "Sick inmates have died, we believe, from want of proper care and attention. Sick persons who needed a quiet place and wholesome, pure air, have been placed in the stinting air and shocking noise3 cf the crazy house, locked in a cell and left to get well or die, with only such attention as could be given by one man, who not only had the crazy house and its inmates to take care of, but also th9 duties of a steward and the work of a repairer of shoes to perform." The Strike a Fallare. Nrw Y'ork, Feb. 25. The strike of coopers has proved a failure so far as the men are concerned. The return of the Jersey City coopers to work to-day has had a very depressing eflect upon the strikers in this city, who have not been able to find work elsewhere or get back to their old places. The non-union shops have had quite a little harvest in supplying M. E. Connelly and S. E. Briggs with barrels. These two have borne the heaviest part of the fight asainst the strikers The men are now trying to effect a settlement but can not as both firms refuse to treat with them. Utilizing Gas at Marion. Special to the Sentinel. Ma eiok, Ind., Feb. 21. The natural gas at this place was utilized for heating purposes at 3 p. m. to day, and the large flouring mill of Lillard fc Co. is now run by natural gas. A large force of laborers are at work laying the maines on the principal streets, and in a few days the citizens of Marion will enjoy the lull benefits of cheap light and fuel. The two additional wells being sunk have now reached a depth of about two hundred feet each, and the borers predict a rich flow from both. The dank and decaying vegetation of regions newly cleared of timber, exposed to the rays of the sun, is sure to breed malaria. Dr. J. H.

To night the joint assembly adjourned without electing a United States Senator. This leaves the appointment to the Governor who will probably appoint a man with free trade ideas. Scrofula Is ono of the most fatal scourges which' afflict mankind. It is often inherited, but may be the result of improper vaccination, mercurial poison, uncleanliness, and various other causes. Chronic Sores, Ulcers, Abscesses, Cancerous Humors, and, in some cases, Emaciation and Consumption, result from a scrofulous condition of the blood. This disease can bo cured by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I inherited ascrofulous condition of tho blood, which caused a derangement of my whole system. After taking less than four bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla I am Entirely Cured and, for the past year, have not found it necessary to use any medicine whatever. I am now in better health, and stronger. than eyer before. O. A. Willard, 218 Tremont St., Boston, Mass. I was troubled with Scrofulous Sores for five years; but, after using a few bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, the sores healed, and I have now good health. Elizabeth Warnock, 54 Appleton street, Lowell. Mass. Some months ago I was troubled with Scrofulous Sores on my leg. The limb was badly swollen and inflamed, and the sores discharged large quantities of offensive matter. Every remedy failed until I used Ayer's Sarsaparilla. By taking three bottles of this medicine the sores have been healed, and my health is restored. I am grateful for the good it has done mo.
