PATTISON NOW GOVERNOR.

Democratic Anti-Liquor Man Inaugurated in Ohio. Under unwonted conditions—both physical and political—John M. Pattlson wag inaugurated at Columbus as Governor of Ohio Monday. The political peculiarity of the ceremony was that the new executive is a Democrat—the first the buckeye State has called to office in many years. Mr. introduced a unique feature at the inaugural ceremonies by reviewing the parade while standing In a glass cage which had been erected on the reviewing stand to guard him from the wintry air. Gor. Pattison had been ill with a severe cold for several days and under no other conditions would his physician permit him to venture beyond his home. The spectacle pf a new Governor standing in a glass case to review the parade celebrating his induction into office attracted an immense crowd of people, every section of the State being represented. Gov. Pattison and his party stood in the cage, which was ten feet high and about twelve feet square, with a peaked roof, and watched the troops and civic organizations as they filed past While trying to arrest some Italians at Torrington, Conn., Robert Newitt, a policeman, was fatally shdt and L. 8. Hull, chief of police, was stabbed. Eight Italians were shooting at each other when the police appeared and the rioters turned their weapons against them. Chief Hall will recover. v President Faulkner, in a letter issued at Cleveland, urges the members of the Amalgamated Window Glass Worker* of, America to accept a reduction of wages' In order to meet the competition of machine made goods.
