ORTON still holds the dispatches. Though the Speaker of the House has caused a subpoena to be issued against him to appear forthwith before the Morrison Investigating oommittee with the required telegrams.

MR. FRYK'H head is level. He said in tbe House, Wednesday, that the faot that men were talking about war, and gold stood at 108)4 and not at 150, showed Nearly that the people did not take any «tock In the Democratic cry of war.

Irtho new Turkish constitution, recently proclaimed, were carried out in good filth it would make the Turks and their Bstfjects as free and as happy a people as are to be found on the face of the earth. But Turkey has a bad record for keeping promises.

THK Turkiah muddle is still unsettled. The European powers have agreed upon a programme and announced it to the Sultan as their altimatum. It la not probable that he will accept it. If be refuses to do so, the foreign ambassadors will probably withdraw from Constantinople, and Turkey and Russia wUl proceed to fight it out.

SOME rather curious statistics are presented in the report of the Warden of the State Prison, south. Of the 704 oonvicts, one hundred were formerly faimers two hundred and twenty-six claim to have been of strictly temperate habits, and only one was a saloon keeper. Among them is one set down ss a clergyman, one a "dead beat," and one a sewing machine agent. Mire than a third of the whole number were sent from Marion county. Only five are over thirty years of age, and of the foroign born Ireland contributes the largest number and England next.

THE recount in South Carolina gives the State to Hayes and Wheeler by about 700 majority, but shows that Hampton and the entire Democratic State ticket is elected by a much larger majority. Hampton has written letters to both Hayes and Tilden announcing his determination, tinder all circuuri stances, to preserve the peace and accept either horn of the Presidential dilemma that is presented, without making a fuss about it. The Fldrida Returning Board, under the direction of the Supreme Court, has made a new count and Hayes is still ahead. Louisiana is now the last hope of the Democracy

BY authority of the Weather Bureau, his name has been changed and hence forth "Probabilities" is to be known as "Indications." The change of name is intended to express the increased confi dence on the part of the public i» the weather wisdom of the party aforesaid Ifc may be said, too, on the part of the Bureau, that thus the modesty of first effort gives place to the serene assurance of conscious power. The success of this important branch of the public service has been most marked, and affords gen eral satisfaction. Statistics show that verifications of the meterologiqal prophecies have averaged about 84 or 85 per cent and have never been so low as 75 per cant. Millions of dollars worth of property has been preserved along our coasts by means of them. Sucoess to

Indications."

A TERRIBLE accident took placo en tho Lake Shore railroad about 8 o'clock last night. A passenger train of seven coaches and two engines went through an iron bridge and down seventy-five feet into the rivor. The latest reports place the number killed a? 100, and wounded at 60. It seems that the falling train and tyridge smashed the ice in the areek, and those not killed by tbe fall or burned up by the burning cars, wore held down by the wreck and drewned before they could be extricated Many, too, will be or have been frozen as the weather ia bitterly cold. It is the most shoeklng railroad calamity that has taken place since tbe Angola horror. Later information may show that the loss of life was not so great as is now believed, but it will undoubtedly, at the best, prove an awful affair.

SENATOR EDMUNDS, in his eulogy delivered upon tbe late Senator Caperton, stated an interesting fact as Illustrating the mutations possible in a brief time to even so ond tiring a body as tbe United States Senate. Ho remarked that the Senate has new only three members who held their feats during the administration of President Lincoln, and only eleven who participated in tbe impeachment trial of Andrew Johnaon in 1868. The three Senators whose terms of service date baek to the time of President Lincoln are Mr. Anthony, who took bin seat in 1859 Mr. Sherman, whose first term began in 1861 and Mr. Howe, whose membership also dates back to 1801. Mr. Cameron was in the Senate as long ago as 1845, but he resigned in 1801 to take the office ef Secretary of War, aad did not return to his seafN 1867. Mr. Hamlin, although not a Senator during Mr. Lincoln's administration, presided over the body in virture of hie office as Vice-President of the United States.

GEORGE J.

VERY little pork was raised in this vicinity the present season, owing to the shortness of the corn crop. Two or three small packers are buying but a large portion of the hogs are sold alive and shipped to Indianapolis and other points.

A large number of men who formerly depended in the winter for work in the pork boases are left with nothing to do.

IT is supposed that tbere are people in tbis city who appreciate flno operatic singing above everything else in this world —to whom wealth is as 4ross, compared with music—who constantly bewail the dearth of such sestbetic nourishment in tbe rude and uncultivated West, and who pine to live in Boston or New York that they might lavish untold greenbacks on the great artists of the lyric stage.

SA VK YOUR GAS!

Mr. J. W. Dever, agent of tbe Stlener Patent Chamber Gas Burner is now in the city for tbe purpose of supplying gas consumers with this new invention for the saving of gas. Last evening we witnessed a test of its operation. Six burners—the ordinary brass burnerswere lighted and fouud to burn two feet of gas in 3 minutes and 4S seoonds. Then the Steiner burners were put on and it required 5 minutes and 40 seconds to consume the samo amount of gasthus showing saving of 37 per cent.— or to put it the other way the old burn ere consumed 63 per cent, more than the Steiner burner. The light, as near as we could judge was about the same. Some ten or a dozen other tests have been made in this city. The following is one of the results: J. W. Dever, Agent for tho Steiner

Chamber Gas Burners. DEAR SIR Previous to purchasing your burners we made a comparative tost between those formerly used by us and yours, the exact result proved as follows, viz: From the 27th of Nov. till the 13th of Dec, we consumed 2900 et till 6 o'clock. With your« we consumed from the 13th of Dec. tilKhe 27th of Dec. 1700 feet. Durlngtbe latter we kept our store open 3 nights till 9 o'clock, an unusual bour, thus making tbe time with yours, equal to 22 nights against 10 regular nights with ours. The light produced from yours is fullv equal to our former lights.

Manager for Foster Brothers, Terre Haute, Ind. December 29,1870. *ff'

Persons interested in the consumption of gas, desirous of having good lights and reducing tbe consumption of gas from 30 to 60 per cent., can do so beyond doubt, l»y adopting tho Stoiner chamber gas bnrner. During the past five weeks, 110 persons have purchased them in this city. Among those who have made absolute test by the watch and meter, are Messrs. W. S. Ryce A Co., Mr. A. Arnold, Mr. A. Herz, Messrs. D. C. Grelner A Co., Messrs. Foster Bros., and Mr. J. H. Briggs.
