Kai.ioting for ft United States Sen ator continues in the Illinois Ix'girilnturc. The twenty-tliird ballot was the same as all the previous ones: Palmer, Dcm., ll'l; Ofileshy, Kcp., loO Streatir, Alli ance, 3. A mil. has been introduced into the Legislature of Indiana providing that iinv man that shall le proven guilty of whipping his wife shall himself receive ( lashes, and that the public shall bo admitted to the jailyard to Fee him whipped. Attounky General Kirkpatrick, of Kaston, realized JH.CKKJ from his four years' service ntuler I Sew leaver's ad mini.-tration $lt'.,0(0 in falary and fll.s.OW in cotiiiiiissions. The position was worth moro in a monetary cense than that of the Governor. I'liiM'E Hot iki is, heir to the throne of IVL'ium, died suddenly at Brussels, Friday, ag-d L'2. There are conflicting reports as to the caiije of his death. Ollicial reports state that it was produced by inlliun.t. Oilier reports state that there is a scandal in the case, and that the tragedy is a repetition of Archduke Rudolph of Au.-tria. Geokce G. F. Kibling, of Norwich, Vt.t was lined $.S,(MH) for selling 715 drinks in violation of the Vermont pro hibitory law. Not being able to pay the f ne, he received the alternative sentence of sixty-one years, seven months and twenty days in the House of Correction in Rutland, where he has been set to work polishing marble. This Wks like fanaticism gone mad. The Republican members of the Leg islature at llarrisburg, are talking of reading IVn Cameron out of the g. o. p since he voted with the Democrats in helping to defeat the Force bill. As Cameron has six years to serve as Uni '.ed States Senator after the -1th of next March, it is not at all likely that he will fret himself over any action the uf ore paid members mav take. The successor of Senator Ingalls was balloted for in both Houses of the Legis lature at Topeka, Kans;is on Tuesday, i lectins Judge V. A. 1'feffer, the nominee of the Alliance caucus. In the Senate the ballot resulted: Ingalls, 5; 1'feffer. In the House the result was; Ffeffer, t5; Ingalls, 3; C. W. Blair, 5. The joint ballot was taken on Wed nesday arid resulted in Ffeffer's dec: tion. Ai-TF.it 21 days of a double-headed Legislature at Hclana, Montana, the Democrats and Republicans have agreed on a plan of compromise. The rival houses are to meet as one IkkIv, the Republicans getting 2S members and the Democrats 27. Tic Democrats are also to have the Speaker, the subordin ate ollieers and the control of the com mittees. The compromise was draVn up by the Senators of lxth parties, and will be signed to-day (Thursday.) Is the case of Senator Hearst there is a grim race between politics and death. The Senator's decease would le followed by the appointment to the Senate of a Republican chosen by the Governor of California, anil the transfer of a vote from the Democratic to the Republican b'ide might undo the work of this week. A day or two ago Mr. Hearst's ca se B .omed hopeless; but he has since rallied n little, and the news of his respite is welcome to a circle vastly wider than that of politicians. The Democrats in the Senate on Mon day again succeeded in downing the Force bill. The cloture bill, which is intended to aid Republicans in their attempt to psiss the Force bill was under consideration when Senator Wolcott moved to lay its consideration aside and take up the Apportioimient bill. A vote was taken and the motion carried by a vote of 3 j for to o 1 against. The Dem on its were assisted by the votes of Cam eron, of this State, Jones of Nevada, Stewart, Teller, Washburn and Waleotf. A Washington dispatch says: From a programme agreed ujion by the "steering committee,, of the Senate it would seem that the elections bill has been placed in its grave. The "steering committee" consists iif four llcbublican Senators Messrs. Plumb, Zvarts, Hoar, and Sherman and they are charged by the Republican caucus with arranging an order of business for the Senate. At the mei ting on Tuesday it was de cided to call up the bill for the adjudi cation of claims of lalorers and me chanics arising under the eight hour law immediately after the apportionment bill is disused of. This will l-e followed in turn by the copyright bill, the Indian depredation claims bill, the pure food bill and the Nicaragua canal bill. This programme is however, subject to disarrangement by the consideration of appropriation bills, which are privi leged matters and have the right of way over all other business. It is probable that several appropriation bills will be called up lieforu tho programme ar ranged in carried out. 'Die Mammoth Cal Mines situated in Westmoreland county, on the Se- wicklv branch of the. Southwest Pennsyl vania railroad on Tuesday was the scene of the worst mining disaster that ever occurred in the United States. About nine o'clock in the morning those outside were startled by the Sound of the explosion coming from the mine. It is supposed to have leeu caused by the igniting of a miners oil lamp, and of the one hundred and ten men who Worked in that part of the mine there are probably none left alive to tell the tale of the explosion. The terrified and more than half-suffocated miners who were not killed are nearly all in such a condition that they may die at any moment; while the the eighteen bodies of the dead already recovered present a ghastly suggestion of what is vet to be brought out of the mine of death into the light. The tire which broke out after the ex plosion was soon extinguished by the immense fans which were put in opera tion. The gas has, therefore, alout all been driven from the pit, and the work of rescuing the entombed miners has lieen legun. General Manager Lynch, of the Frick Company, is on the scene devising means to rescue the victims. The affair has cast a gloom over the entire coke region. Hundreds of miners are Hocking to the scene of the disaster and offering assistance. Horror is piled over horror. Coffins have al ready been ordered from Pittsburg and Mount Pleasant for eighty persons. The only man who escaped uninjured from the fatal mine was Boss Eaton. It has In-en estimated that there are sixty widows and families that are left wholly dependent on charity. They are almost penniless, as the plant has not been running full for some time, and work has been exceedingly 6carce since the dullness set in. A dispatch from the scene of the ex plosion dated Wednesday evening says that all the bodies have been found and taken out and that the total number of dead is 100. Of these 71 have been identified. The balance 35 have been so badly mutilated that identifcation was inuKissible. On Wednesday afternoon a train left Mammoth for Scottdalc bear ing sixty-three of the dead miners in collins, and about three thousand peo ple. Two long trenches had leen pre pared and on reaching the cemetery the sixty-three Uxlies were hurried side by side. At the head of almost every cof fin a mother, wife or sweetheart stood mourning for her loved one and the sight was one that those who witnessed it can never forget. Congressman James Kr.ER, Chairman of the lemocratic State Central Commit tee of Pennsylvania, yielding to the solicitations of his many Democratic friends in the present and next House, has consented to le a candidate for clerk of the next House of Representa tives. Mr. Kerr has many claims upon the Democratic party, which should not be overlooked. It was due to his efforts, more than any otler Democrat in the Fifty-first Congress, that the State of Pennsylvania elected a Democratic Gov ernor and gained several members in the next Congress. It will lie remem-l-eretl, also, that while Mr. Kerr was se curing these results he sacrificed his own return to Congress. Another particularly strong argument in his favor is that he comes from a sec tion of country which has no candidate for Speaker, and his candidacy can, therefore, not interfere with the elec. tion of that officer. Then the office of clerk to the House of Representatives has been held by Tennsrlvania almost since the founding of the Government, and there is no reason for departing from the time-honored custom. In the great money centres of this country there are millions of dollars bunting for safe investments at three and four per cent. per annum. Yet there is not a country town in the State that has not got an agent for the Swam poodle Building and Loan Association of New York, or the Mutual Investment Company of Highflyer, Massachusetts, promising fifteen or twenty per cent, dividends every year and fair prospects for doubling the principal at maturity. Are the capitalists in the cities blind to these chances for investment or are these companies that stray away 60 far from home to distribute their favors, looking for suckers? These are ques tions that every man ought to ask him self when he finds an investment hook dangling in front of him baited with an unusually long worm. A will, to bo valid in law, must be signed by the testator at the end thereof. Such, in brief, is the law of this State as clearly expounded by Judge Hanna, of Philadelphia, the other day, in a case in which a testator, after having signed his will in the presence of witnesses. tacked on a codicil to which he append ed neither date nor signature. It was held by the court that the will itself was valid, but that the codicil was not. This of course, ia not new law, tut it may be to many persons; and the judge's decision, which covers the ground thoroughly should be a caution to testators against the addition of post scripts or explanitory clauses of any 6ort to instruments already completed in a legal sense. Senator Faitlkn er, of West Virginia, talked for seven hours and fasted for fourteen hours in the late trial of endur ance by which the advocates of the Force bill hoped to break down opposi tion to that infamous measure. He de serves a statue in front the Capitol for this great service. William F. Vilas, was elected United States Senator at Madison, Wisconsin, on Wednesday, to succeed Senator Spooner. Senator Vilas was Postmaster General and Secretary of the Interior under Truculent Cleveland. Waskinzten Letter. Senator Gorman is proving himself for the Republican more than a mau n Senators and that with he is still confident the active and determined support of Democratic Sen ators and the moral support of the con servative masses of the country, the Force bill and its revolutionary forerun ner, the gag-rule, can be defeated. He fairly ami squarely outgeneraled the Republicans when they attempted to wear out the Democi a ts by a continuous night and day session of the Senate, and now he is winning new parliamentary laurels bv the manner in which he is blocking the Republican attempt to force j a vote upon Senator A Idrich's gag-rule j resolution. He compelled Mr. Morton to acknowledge that he had made an er- . roneous ruling. The Republicans have vania will permit. , If It should become but one hope of succeeding and that lies : a law all ballots would 1-e required to lie n Vice President Morton making an ar- officially printed and delivered at public bitrary decision in their favor, and the . expense; so that no fraud could here probabilities are rather in favor of his , after te practiced in printing and dis doingso, a. hough it will be because of; tributing ticket Nor could any op the trreat pressure brought to bear upon portunity le thus afforded for black- him and m-i. because he wants to do it. j Even if tho Senate adopts the gag - L . - 1 . 1. ' rule resolution and passes the Force bill, there will still be grounds upon which to base hoe for its defeat. The amend ments made to the bill in the Senate will make its return to the House ne cessary, and there the Democrats can re new the fight, which the nearness of the 4th of March and the end of the session, may make successful. At any rate the Republicans in the House must have a quorum of their own members in order to pass it, and that's moic than they have had for three successive days dur ing the session. Czar Reed as he iicars the end of his power shows a disposition to resume some of his tricks of the last session. By the denial of a request that was right and fair, he, this week, provoked Mr. Mills into an exhibition of temjier that is very much regretted by that gen tleman's friends; not on Reed's account, he deserved all that Mr. Mill's said of him, but on account of the effect that it may have upon the candidacy of Mr. Mills for the Speakership of the next House. "You are perpetrating a fraud ujiori the House, "shouted Mr. Mills, advancing tlown the aisle, and shaking his fist at the Speaker, "and you know it." Mr. Mills then intimated in lan guage not to be mistaken that the Speaker was not an honorable gentleman. A minute or two later Representative Kerr, of Iowa, had the bad taste to call Mr. Mills a "traitor." "You are a trait or yourself, "retorted Mr. Mills," to the constitution and the laws. You are trying to surround and to deprive the jcople of their right of representation." This was followed by a scene hard to de scribe. The lv-mocrnts cheered Mr. Mills loudly and the Republicans hissed. Rcprvscntative Perkins of .Kansas said "put the dirty loafer (Mills) out." and in a moment he found the big fist of Representative Martin,of Indiana in close ( proximity to his nose and was infeirmed that if there was to be any putting i out he (Martin) proposed taking a hand in it. That was the last heanl of Perkins. In the meantime the Sear-gent-at Arms trottetl out with the gold head iiihcc, tho emblem of authority in the House and quiet was re-storcd. The Dockery resolution providing for an investigation of the Congressional Silver jotls in bearing fruit. Senator Vest has te-stifie-el thp.t Senator Cameron told him that he had made money spec ulating in silver bullion, and Senator tamcron uus acknowledged it, claiming that he had as much right to sjiecuiate in silver as in corn, wheat or any other product. How is that for cool audacity? The chanrman of the committee, Rep resentative Dingley, of Maine, is accused ol having adjourned the committee from last week until Wednesday of this week in order to prevent Senator Vet from testifying until after the Pennsylvania legislature had re-elected Cameron to the Senate, although Mr. Vest had stated his willingness to testify. It is believed here that Cameron would have been le feated had his cemnection with the sil ver speculation been made public before his re-election. There are other big Re publicans who will be exposed if the committee does its duty without fear or favor. The latest scheme of Reed and his henchmen in the House to force the silver Republican Senators to vote for the Force bill is outlined in the announce ment that the House committee on coinage, before which the fre coinage bill now is, will not report that measure to the House until the Senate passes the Force bill. It remains to le seen how the silver Republicans in the House will take this. They will be giv en an oirortunity of votine with the De-mocrats to discharge the committee and take the bill up in the House. Re presentative Bland has already offered a substitute for resolution to be rejiorted from the committee on Rules to limit the debate en the appropriation bills, making the fn?e coinage bill a continu al order from and after January 27. a Fiendish Father. New Egyit, Y Jan. 4. Fiend ish cruelty was rierpetrated by John Meiser, an Ocean county fanner, living near here, upon his son, who is not yet 4 years of age. The child was in the house at the time and committed some slight offence. The father fled into a race, and, seizine the child, placed it upon the top of a hot stove, burning its flesh in a terrible manner. The screams of the child quickly brought its mother to the scene, and she carried it to another room, where she dressed its injuries as best she could. Meiser was ashamed to admit that he did the deed intentionally, and said he merely held the boy over the stove to frighten him, but that he accidentally dropped him. Immediately after the affair Meiser fled to escape arrest. The child's con dition is cr itical. HapPT Iloalers. VTst. TlmmoEi, rortmaMsr !

The first rending in the House at this early day in the session of the Ballot Reform bill introduced by Mr. Baker, of Delaware county, affords a cheering , promise of its sin-cdy enactment. This bill is substantially the measure formu- lated by the Ballot Reform Association, and introduced in the Legislature. It is not likely that the bill will encounter serious opposition in either House, since both parties are pledged to its support. OpjKisition would cause only needless and vexations delay. As this bill has leen repeatedly dis cussed in these columns our readers are familiar with its details. Briefly de scribed, the provisions of the bill con form as nearly to tho Australian ballot system as the Constitution of IYniiswl- mailing candidates and raising corrup vtw.ni.. - I. 4 - M 1 " tion money with the pretext of needing cash for printing and distributing bal lots. The separate booths for voters in preparing their ballots would protect the weakest citizen from intimidation, and reduce to a minimum the means of ply ing the arts of bribery and corruption. the most reckless corruDtion-moneer would hesitate long before making any bargains for votes as boys swap jackknives, "unsight unseen." As a final protection for voters, the poll lists would have to be scaled up before the election officers bhould proceed to count the ballots. This would effectually baffle the attempt of any dishonest elec iion officer to betray the secrete of the ballot-box. The ballot Reform bill once enacted and out of the way, the Legislature wciuld be enabled to proceed to the more important work of summoning a Con stitutional Convention to accomplish the wider re-forms which the public interest demand. As the members of the Con vention would be elected under the Bal lot Reform law, if passed, they would be the better able to determine from ex perience what amendments of the Elec tion lawg should le submitted to the people for adoption. Should this work l-e hastily or carele-ssly performed there would le the-risk of its rejection at the polls. In order to prevent any such danger the people should; have sufficient time to select the ablest and best repre sentative men for the Convention, and the Convention should have sufficient time for delilerating ujKn such projiosi tions of amendment as might lie intro duceel for its consideration. As the amendment of the organic law of a great Commonwealth like Pennsylvania is a political act of the hiht solemni ty, there should be no precipitation in any of the steps to its accomplishment. In the meantime the Ballot Reform bill lief ore the House, which has the ar- proval of all partie-s, would go far toward i satisfying the public demands on this suojcci,. i vu.ii. liecwa Jlie Fcrce rill's Backset. t lelf 1 The eWtions bill was la id on the she by the Senate yesterday (Mondavi to take up the apportionment bill. If it e-oines to the front again after be-ing turned down the second time, it will have to lie e-reIited with as persistent vi tality as the proverbial cat, although it cannot claim as much usefulness or value as that domestic animal. But the re is not much likelihood that it will display that vitality. The Senate has now left only five weeks iu which to do practically all the work of the ses sion. That time is not more than suf ficient to give projier scrutiny to the ne-c-essary appropriation bills. Even if at tention should lie devoted exclusively to that purp-, a gi-e-et many ef them would have to lie pushed through in a way that would give the greatest facility to jols. Some of the Re-publican lead ers are fixilish oiiOugh to permit neces sary legislation to suffer, in order to car ry out their darling hope of legislating an indefinite extension ol jiemer for their party; but the indications are multiplying that others of them are lic ginning to understand the jieople will not staud much more of that tort of policy. We think the elections bill is finally and conclusively defunct. It would have been better for its supporters if its demise had happened earlier. They have shown their utter blindness to any other consideration than prolonging their power by act of Congress, and af ter thus exposing themselves they have had their lalior for their pains. 1'itU bury DitpaLh lie;.) The Vlg Storm la the Hest. !ew York, Jan. 1G. It will take nearly 1 1,000,000 in cold cash and two weeks of incessant labor to repair the damage done by the storm of Saturday night to the telegraph, telephone and electric companies hereabouts. The destructive effects Of the storm ex tended over a comparatively limited area. A short distance lielow Philadel phia was the southern limit of telegraph demorlization, and Boston was the northern limit. Old telegraph hands said that their had been nothing like the prese-nt storm since the famous 6leet of Sunday, January 23, 1SS1. when the telegraph lines all through the East were ( paralyzeel. An ide-a of what wrecking of lines was done may lie gathered from the fact that out of l,5O0 running out of this city the Western Union had but three wires working this afternoon. The Pos tal Telegraph Company actually has not one wire wtirking from the city, while the Metrojiohtan Telegraph and Tele phone Company roughly estimate that 2,500 of its wires are laid low. The to tal damage to companies mentioned which will rvsult from this condition f affairs is estimated at toOO.000. Two weeks of unceasing effort will be re quired to get the wires back into the con dition v iiich existed before the storm broke. BtmsrkaSI Keeewe. Mrs. Mlebal Curtain.
