THE WEST VIRGINIA SENATORJ SHIP. West Virginia has a curious senatorial muddle on her hands. Senator Camden's term expired on the 4th of last March. A deadlock prevented the election of his successor and the legislar tufe adjourned without one having been chosen. Shortly thereafter the governor, who had been an opponent of Senator Camden, appointed a Mr. Lucas Senator. Mr. Lucas had been a member of the legislature and had led the Democratic minority in that body in opposition to Camden who was the regular Democratic caucus nominee. Having wasted considerable time on this Senatorial question the legislature had adjourned without, passing some important appropriation bill. By the constitution of West Virginia the Governor can convene the legislature in extra session. But he must specify the objects for which they are assembled and they on their part cannot depart from that schedule and must confine their labors to the specified object*). In spite of this, however, the legislature, in special sessiou did elect a Mr. Faulkner Senator. They testify their violation of the state constitution by quoting the \J. S. constitution which requires fche legislature of a state at its first meet ing after a vacancy in the U. S. Senate occurs to elect a Senator. The whole question will go to the U. S. Senate for settlement, fot the conflicting credentials of Mr. Lucas, the Governors appointee, and of Mr, Faulkner, the elect of the legislature at its sperial session, will be laid before that body. Ordinarily the Republican mujority in the Senate would not take long to decide a on

Hict between state and federal authority in favor of the latter. Both the contestants in this case are Democrats. But the appointee of the Governor, who stands as the representative of the State constitution, can only hold the Sehatorehip for two years when the next legislature meets, whereas his competitor was elected for six years. This may make the Senators reflect.

THURSDAY. MAY 12, 1887.

JEFFERSON DAVIS, lafce president of the Jefunct confederacy, has written a reply to the recent article of General Wolseley, commander-in-chief of the British army, on General Robert E. Lee. Mr. Davis' article was written for and was published in last Saturday's issue of the Louisville

Courier-Journal,

•occupying nearly six columns of that paper. .Davis sharply criticised Gen. Wolseley for his assertions that Lee's failures, wherever he failed, were due to a lack of support or interference by the confederate authorities. The truth of the matter pfobably is that if J. \Davis had attended to the whole business himself, personally, and not trusted -at all to subordinates, he would have had the north on its knees in a few months pleading fof mercy. Unfortunately this never occured to him antil several years after the war was over.

Mr. Fairbanks -Definitely Decides To Build the Distillery,

A Hundred Thousand Dollar Building Will be Put Up.

It has now been definitely settled that the distillery will be rebuilt. The contract for the work has been let and the men are now on their way to this city to begin the work. The ground for the foundation will be broken within the next few days and the work will be pushed with all possible haste until the building is completed. It is the inten tion of the company to finish the work within ninty days if possible.

The new structure will bemuoh larger in every particular than the old one and but very little of the old foundation can be used in its construction. It will cover considerable more ground and will be a few feet higher than the old building. It will cost in the neighborhood of $100,000 which is considerable more than the cost of the old building and when completed will be one of the largest buildings in the city. It is to be constructed entirely of brick or stone and will make a magnificent structure.

Standing as it will on a high bank of the river, it can be seen tot miles up and down the river and is visible from quite a distance west of the city on any of the roads leading to town. The capacity will be increased to 7,200 bushels, which is double the former capacity. The distillery is of the greatest industrial importance to Terre Haute as it is a source of employment to a large number of men both"directly and indirectly. Previous to the tire there were about 150 men employed by the company, and with the great increase of capacity this number will be increased about two thirds.

There area great many institutions which are benefitted by the distillery. Their oooperage is all done by contract, the railroads receive probably more shipping from them than from any other one institution in the city and the govern ent derives a large revenue from this source. When running at full capacity before the fire a revenue of nearly 318,000 per day was paid in to the government. With double the capacity this amount is propostionately increased. Under th« pool regulations the distillery never ran at full capacity but at present the pool is suspended and they can run full if they so desire.

As yet Mr. Fairbanks is sole proprietor of the distillery, but it is probable that Mr. John Begge, of the Shelby ville, Ills-s distillery will purchase a half interest soon.

Our Daily Bread.

Heavy and sour bread or biscuit has a vast influence through the digestive organs upon the measure of health we enjoy. How important to our present happiness and future usefulness the blessing of good health and a. sound constitution are, we can only realize when we have lo6t them. Notwithstanding these facts, thousands, of persons daily jeopardize not only their health, but their lives, and the healths and lives of others,' by using articles in the preparation of their food the purity and healthfulness of which they know nothing. Perhaps a few cents may have been saved, or it may have been more convenient to obtain the articles used, and the housekeeper takes the responsibility and possibly will never know the mischief that has been wrought. Paterfamilias may have spells of headache, the children may have lost their appetites, or look pale if so, the true cause is rately suspected. The weather, the lack of out-door air, or some other cause, is given, and the unwholesome, poisonous system of adulterated food goes on. Next to the flour, which should be made of good, 60und wheat and not ground too fine, the yeast or baking powder, which furnishes the rising properties, is of the greatest importance, and of the two we prefer baking powder, and always use the Royal, as we thereby retain the original properties of the wheat, -no fermentation taking ilace. The action of the Royal

Baking Powder upon the dough is simply to swell it and form little cells through every part. Taese eel's are filled with carbonic acid gas, which paseeB off during the process ol baking.

The Royal is made from pure grape acid, and it is the action of this acid upon highly carbonized bicarbonate of soda tbat generates the gas alluded to, and these ingredients are so pure and so perfectly fitted, tested and adapted to eaoh other, that the action is mild and permanent, and is continued during the whole time of baking, and no residue tf poisonous ingredients remain to undermine the health, no heavy biscuits, no sour bread, but if direc tions are followed, every article will be found sweet and wholesome.

Sued For TresDass.

Attorney Joseph H. Blake has filed suit with Justice Wildy against William Soules, claiming damages in the sum of $10 for trespass. The gentlemen are neighbors, Mr. Soules living west of Mr. Binke's place on the National road east of the city. Mr. Blake notified Mr. Soules that he would no longer fence his place against Mr. Soules' stock. Yesterday morning Mr. Blake found two of Mr. SouleB' cows on his premises and action is brought with this as its basis. Mr. Blake alleges that one of the cows did damage to his garden, The case will be tried Thursday after-

CATARRH CURED.

Kepublicans Take Control of the Council Last Night.

Nevitt Elected City Attorney and Wimer Street Commissioner.

Trom Wednesday's daily.

There was a large attendance at the council chamber last night to see the old council go out and the sew council come in. The old council first went at the usual order of business. All the members were present except Mr. Haslet.

ORDINANCE.

An ordinance fixing the pay of day laborers in the employe of the city at $1.50 per dayfor eaoh day of eight hour's work was read but ruled out of order on the ground that at the first Monday in June the council nxes the salaries for the city employes.

POLICE COMMISSIONS®.

Mr. O'Sulhvan moved that the council go into an election for Police Commissioner to fill the vacancy caused by the acceptance of Mr. Coffin's resignation. Dr. Preston moved an amendment that the counoil do not proceed to the election. The amendment was defeated by a vote of 7 to „4 Dr. Preston insisted that the election was out of order and that it should be left to the new council. The City Attorney gave his opinion that the election was legal. The original motion was oarried by a vote of 7 to 4. Mr. Hybarger placed Denn Barrett in nomination. The vote 6tood Barrett 7, blank 4. The mayor declared Mr. Barrett elected to fill the unexpired termof Mr. Coffin.

The retiring members then introduced their successors. ELECTING NEW OFFICIALS.

On motion of Mr. Grimes the offioes of city attorney, street commissioner, city engineer, market master and board of health were declared vacant.

The following were then elected by a party vote, 7 to 5: H. C. Nevitt, city attorney George R. Grimes, city engineer Jos. A. Wimer, street commissioner Francis A. Boyd, market master Drs. Jenkins, Glover and Larkins, Board of Health Weinstein, Hirt end Storz, Board of Public Improvements.

The street committee was granted $1,000 for the month. The council then adjourned.

THE GAS WELL.

Prospects for a Big Flow.---The Clinton Well.

From Wednesday's daily.

The drilling at the natural gas well is going steadily on. In the 24 hours ending at 10 o'clock this morning only 15 feet' was drilled in the rock which is a combination of flint and lime stone. There is still 130 feet more to be drilled through this hard rock before softer rock is reached. As* soon as the soft rock, is reached an iron casing will be put into the well to exclude the watei and from that on, a dry hole will be sunk. The hole is now being drilled eight inches in diameter, which added to the bouyancy of the water, retards the progress of the drills greatly.

As BOOH as the drive hole is begun the drilling will be much more rapid as there will be nothing in the bole to bony up the drille, the rock will be be softer and the hole will be smaller. They expect to advance at the race of 50 or 60 feet per day until Trenton rock is reached. There is every prospest of gas being found here as the ground lies exactly in stratas which the charts showed and in no case has one strata been more than five feet deeper or closer to the surface than was shown by the charts.

Thus it will be seen that the projectors know exactly where Trenton rock lies and the only question is whether the supply will.be lasting or not and how 6troug the flow may prove to be. The well is now down to a depth of 900 feet and if they have no further mishaps it will not be many days before the question will be .decided.

THE CIirNTON WELL.

Mr. Diall, superintendent of the Terre Hanfce company was in Ciinton yesterday and while there he visited the gas well. He says he don't think they have a gas whioh will last for any length of time. The hole is only 145 feet deep and a little over an inch in diameter. The gas when lighted gives an orange colored flame which, is different from, that of any other natural gas wells. He says that if the hole was made larger the gas would soon play out

It comes from a west hole from which is a constant flow of salt water. The proprietors of the well

sinking the

drill deeper into the rock in hopes of securing a ptronger flow of gas. Dr. Hay of Coates College pronounced the rock, in which the gas was found, Trenton rock but Mr, John Murthy the drillman at the well in this city says it is saTd rock. This is a vast difference of opinion as both men are well calculated to know, the latter having been in business for over twenty years.

Almost a Fatal Slip.

A little daughter of Mrs. Patrick Ma honey, living on north second street met with a peculiar accident yesterday, She was hanging on the front gate when she slipped and fell catching her neck between the pailings. Had it not been for the timely discovery of a lady next door, the child would have been choked

Editor O'Brien's Arrival in treal This Afternoon.

Mon-

An Enthusiastic Demonstration in His Honor.—His First Speech Tonight.

MONTREAL, May 11.—From the moment that Editor William O'Brien, of United Ireland, left the Grand Central depot, New York, until his arrival here this morning at 8 o'clock his journey was without incident. He met and was introduced to Chauncey M. Depew, who was on the train. The two gentlemen passed compliments. H. J. Cloran, President of the National League of Montreal F. Donavon, of St. Anthony's Young Men's Society, and P. A. Muldoon, of the Montreal Post, went down as a deputation from the Montreal National League and boarded the tram at St. Johns, Quebec, about 30 miles from Montreal. Mr. O'Brien recognized Mr. Cloran, who was standing on the platform and whom he met last year at the Chicago convention.

Mr. Cloran, when asked about the feeling in Montreal and the rumors of a possible disturbance on account of the visit of the editor of the United Ireland, laughed and said it was all exaggeration. "Montreal is an Irish city," he said, "and the only place where it is possible that anything in the nature of oppression will be offered is at Kingston, where the Orange element is strong and the feeling bitter."

An immense crowd was present on the arrival of the train in this city and cheered lustily as Mr. O'Brien stepped on the platform. Mr. Cloran then stepped forward and read an address of welcome.

Mr. O'Brien replied as follows: "Mr. Cloran and fellow countrymen: Even at this distance I recognize a good many kindly Irish faoes around me. I am most deeply and sincerely grateful to you for these words of kindness and good will which yon have greeted my arrival in this, the principal city of the Dominion. I am at a loss for words to express to you my gratitude for the warmth with whioh our fellow-country-men are rallying around me and my friend, Mr. Kilbride, in the struggle we are making for the poor and oppressed against their exalted and powerful oppressor. [Groans.J For my part, I never for one instant doubted you. I never believed and never will believe that the Canadian people, whose Parliament again and again gave testimony of their approval of home rule and their sympathy with our poor suffering people, will refuse me the common fair play of a hearing for our cause. [Applause.] "The result of my visit will, I am certain, disappoint the false prophets who were predicting to the contrary. [Renewed applause.] I come not to offer offense to any section or class of the Canadian people. Quite to the contrary. I come not to meddle in Canadian affairs, not tq deal with the career of Lord Lansdowne as Governor General, but as the enterminator of 500 human beings. [Groans.] This being a free country, we cannot expect everybody to agree with us, but I believe we have such strength of justice and truthr upon our side that when all have heard our story, all will be convinced [applause,] and" that the Canadian people will stretch out their hands and save the lives and properties of these 500 poor tenants of Luggacurran, for both are at this moment at your mercy and in your hands. [Applause.]

There was a tremendous rush to shake hands with Mr. O'Brien at the conclusion of his speech, and on his way to the carriages, which were in waiting to drive the party to the hotel, he was nearly lifted off his feet. He occupied the same suite of rooms at St. Lawrence Hall that Michael Davitt and Mr. Parnell did when they visited this city. His first regular speech of the campaign will be delivered at amass meeting in Albert Hall this evening. So far there is not only no sign of opposition, but no talk of it.

River News.

The river is falling with 5% feet in the channel. The Ida Lee arrived from Hutsonville at 2:45 p. m. yesterday with a large cargo of wheat and corn. She left at 10 a. m. on h6r regular run to Hutsonville.

The Dauntless left at 9 a. m. today for Little Horse Shoe near Yincennes. Jno. Barbazette is building a fine skiff which he will soon launch in the river near the distillery. It will be one of the finest boats on the river when completed.

Fire.

HAVEBHILL, Mass., May 11.—A large fire occurred at Newtonvillage, N. last night. The conflagration started at about midnight in the livery stable George H. Hoyt. It was caused by a horse kicking over a lighted lantern. Twenty-one buildings were burned causing a loss of $25,000.

A good story is told on the proprietor of a drug store in the east end Recently a colored gentleman dropped in on a collecting expedition for a colored church. Not being in very

that morning he cut the solicitor for do nations off rather short or rather tried to. But the deacon wouldn't have it that way. He reproached the pronrie tor with having "no interest in Heaven"

Oh yes "I have" replied he, I own six acres there." "Boss have you got a deed for it." "Yes" replied the unsuspecting vie tim. "Well boss does you pay yer taxes."

The alacrity with which a half a dollar was handed over is said to have been remarkable.
