Bayers for several tobacco packers wet In the country the past weck, and made an honest effort te buy the Crep of '89 tobacco at what It was really worth. They met with little success, because the farmers will net take .what the buyers consider a fair price. One et the buyera who was seen by an Intelligencer reporter last evening said the crop Is net as geed as desired by the packers. There are only a few geed crops In each locality, and ninety per cent, of the crop Is net worth having. The geed crops In any one vicinity, he continued, can lie counted en one's Angers. A great portion of the seed leaf Is rotten, and that which Is net rotten new will be se when put In cases and sweated. He said tbere was comparatively little buying thus far, nn J he did net ex poet te see an improvement in March. Ills ex perience was that packers when they get 60 or 100 boxes of tobacco delivered at their warehouses called off their men. They would prefer te have no tobacco at all than te have their warehouses filled with cheap, unsalable goods. The reasons he gave for the unsatisfactory condition of the '89 crop were that Hues cut In wet weather and went out of the sheds damp; and in conclusion he re marked that it was the worst crop of tobacco ever raised in Lancaster county. Buyers would be willing te give 19 te 20 cents per pound for geed Havana seed, but It cannot be hed. lie dreve two days, saw many crops, and In all that time did net see a crop worth the money asked. 8.

A MAID IN MASCULINE ATTIRE. Her Sex lloveuled by the Way She Wrung Out a Dish Cleth. Annie Fisher, a handseme young girl apparently about 16 years of age, was found in a hallway of a Butler street house, Pitts burg, in a comatose condition at uti early hour. Monday morning by the pcople of the heuse. She was taken te the hospital, where bIie is in a critical condition. She waseidently drugged, and It Is thought she tried te commit sulclde. A romantic story has been developed la her case. Some tlme last week she made her appoarance in Pittsburg drossed in boys' clothing, and applied at various place for work. As she looked the simple country boy te perfection, a lady living en Stanteu avenue took pity upon the friend less boy and gave him a temporary home at her heuse. The girl could net have had her dlsgulse Senet rated had It net been lura mere aeel nnL Havlmr had occasion te wash a cud whtle sitting at the table she went and get a dish-cloth for the purpose The lady who had bofriended her happened te notice the manner in which she twisted the dish-cloth as she was wringing It out after wanning the cup, and at once became convinced that the supposed boy w as a girl, and taxed her with being In a disguise. The girl thereupon broke (low n and made u com plete confession. She claimed that she bad run away from her father's farm, near Franklin, Pa. Her mother had died home years age. She claimed her father hud net treated her right, and she denned boy's clothing and ran away. The Cluarniaket's. Last evening the Clgarmakers' Union, of this city, held a meptlng w hich was largely attended, and eigkt-new-meinbers were elected. Delegates from the Tailors Union and Central Union were present, and speeches were made by Elmer K. Greena wait, Jehn J. Beyle, Jeseph Iletl'man and William Meglll.

Stockholder or the Llacela Bank te Pay Their AaeeeSHteat. The examination of the books and papers of the Lincoln National bank waa tedious work. Bank Examiner Greene does net care te have each job seen again. He has net mack te say an te the actual defal cation. He did say, however, that the 50 per cent assessment en the capital stock would restore It te the amount the bank started with, and that the bank doers would be opened whenever the amount required by law one-half of the assessment was paid in cash into the bank treasury. The bank with the assessment pskt la will be solvent and the depositors will net loses cent. The stockholders are anxious te resume business at an early day and will pay In the amount v( their assessments without delay. If any stockholders refuse te pay the amount of their assessment their stock. under the law is sold In the market, and after paying the amennt of the assessment If any money la left ever it gees te such stockholders. In this case there are no stockholders known at present who will refuse te pay the amount aasessed against their stock. '' A large number of residents of Lincoln and vicinity came te Lancaster te-day te attend the hearing of F. W. Hull and Cashier Bard before United States Com missioner Kennedy. The charges against Bard are altering the bank books, embezzling money and con cealing the condition of the bank from the directors. These against Hull are aiding and abetting as an accessory of Bard or the oflences of which he stands charged. The hearing was originally announced te take place In Commissioner Kennedy's office, but for want of room an adjourn ment was had te the orphans court room. HULL AND UARD U1VKN A HEARING. One o'clock was the hour designated for the hearing, but it was adjourned until the arrival of the "Fast Line en which U. S. District Atterney Reed and his assistant, James M. Beck, were passengers. They desired te be present at the hearing te leek after the Interests of the government. It was after 2:30 o'clock when the hearing began. Hull was represented by J. L. Stelumetz and Jehn E. Malene, and Bard by W. U. Uensel and B. C. Kready. Bank Examiner Greene was the first wit ness aud his testimony was: My position is bank examiner for Eastern district of Pennsylvania since October, 1889 ; en Feb ruary 11, was directed te examine Lincoln National bank by the comptroller of tbe currency; I examined the accounts and papers or the bank. At this stage of the case Mr. Hensel for Bard waived a hearing as te the charges against him. The result of my examination, the examiner continued, was that the books show that en August 14, 1888, the deposit account showed an alteration or $10,000 In the depositors' account ; February 2, 1889, of 13,000; August 21, 1888, bills discounted, an alteration of f2,000 ; July 18, 1888, $2,000; January, 25, 1888, $2,000. These ngures represent Hems paid by tbe cash ler and carried by him in his private drawer. The books show the following errors in the totals or the depositors' account : Sev enth National bank, Philadelphia, $10,000 ; First National bank, Philadelphia, $3,000; Farmers' National bank or Reading, $8,000; sanie bank, $1,000, and that the total defal cation was ever $39,000. Of this amount $29,053.15 were traced te Reyer and Hull's accounts, and $10,245.06 te F. W. Hull's, .making the deficit $39, 298.80. The shertage was caused by the cashier paying te F. W. Hull money en cheeks, drafts and notes which were aaerwards protested aud carried along as puld, when the fact Is these checks were nover paid, and Bard altered the books te make it appear that Hull's obliga tions were paid. These unpaid protested notes, checks and drafts efHull's were sur rendered by Hull. Cress examined by Mr. Stelnmetz : The additions made In the books were made orroneeusly for the purpose of deceiving the bank officers; they were In lead pencil; I knew of no notes dis continued for Mr. Hall, that dep net appear en these books ; but his notes ap peared among the papers concealed by the coshler, aud surrendered by that eillcial, after this scandal was made public; can net tell from the books whether Reyer A Hull or Hull get rrem the bank the race value or tue notes or checks protested and aOerwacds round In the possession or the cashier. District Atterney Reed said he had ether witnesses te examine who would show that Hull get this money but he did net care te take up any further time with the examination Mr. Read said the only question new was that or ball. Mr. Stelumetz said be was wlllldg te any Auther hearing, and after a consultation Commissioner Kennedy fixed the ball at $15,000. Beth parties will secure the required bail for their appoarance at the May term of tbe United States district court, te be held In Philadelphia en the third Monday of May. A GOOD STORY OF BKAVER. What Came of An Effbrt of the Gorer Gerer nor te Teach Etiquette te a Private. Frem the Pittaburg Dispatch. Geerner Heaver is known by every Pittsburg boy in the National Guard te be a very strict disciplinarian In military eti eti eti quotte and the drill. Austin Curtlti, of the governor's native town, told this war reminiscence about him en Monday night te seme of the delegates at the G. A. It., encampment: While lieutenant colonel of the 45th regiment, Bcaer was ene day sitting lu front of his tern, when a slouehy sleuehy slouehy leoklmr soldier with ill-llttincr uniform came along, stepped and Inquired : " Vere Ish der doctor? " " Is that the way te address your supe rior officer, sir? " reared Colonel Beaver. The German stared at his superior officer In blank amazement, but said never a word. "Here, sir; take this chair. Yeu be tbe colonel, and I will teach you bow te ad dress an otllcer." " Vas me der boss of der regiment T" " leg; uike tins cliair, ana l will sliew you hew te act." The soldier sat down In front of the tent. Colonel Heaver walked off a few paces, turned about, returned te a position in front of the officer pre temiwre, squared himself around, made a military salute, aud Inquired: " Colonel, can you inform me where I can find the surgeen of the regiment?" The soldier aiese, and looking seriously and straight at Hea or, rephed: "D if I knew where he Is!" Pole.' Baker's Fortune. In the morning papers thore appear ac counts ofafertuno awaiting the belrs or Peter Baker, w bose will Is alleged te be en re-erd in Lancaster county. A careful examination of the records made this afternoon shows the will of biit one Peter Biker en record In the last century.

According te the t-tatemeuts In the morn ing ierHllie Peter Baker estate Is worth about $$0,000,000, but it is likely te be a cold day when the heirs get It. DEATH OF MRS. WORST. TIE WIPE IF TIE STEWAH IP TIE ALMS MUSE BIE8 SODDEMLT. he Retire Monday Evening In Appar i eatly Geed Health, And U Attaeked by Heart Dtsaaae After MidnlBht. Mrs. Henrietta Worst, wife of Geerge E. Worst, steward of the Lancaster county almshouse, died very suddenly at the alms house, where the family live, this morn ing. She was about as usual last evening andferatlmechatted pleasantly with mem bers of her family and ethers In the bully ing. About nine -o'clock she retired and apparently was lit the best of health. A'Aer midnight she was awake, as one e' the children called te her. At that tlme ,Mr. Worst spoke te her and she said nothing about feeling unwell. About half past four o'clock this raernlng,Mr. Worst wasawaV ened, as his wife was making strange noise. He caught her by the nrta and trled te arouse her but he received no re sponse. She seemed te be unconscious and Mr. Worst felt her pulse, which was beating. He aroused seme of the people in the heuse, aud Dr. Clitic, the resident physb'iau, was hasttlysummoned. When he arrived Mrs. Worst's pulse was still beating, but she expired in a short tlme without speaking a word. She eeemed te have no pain whatever, and did net move even her lingers. 'About five weeks age Mrs. Worst was taken with la grippe and she was confined te the heuse for elght days. She had fully rccoverod from that, as she hed been In Philadelphia ence since, but she still had a cough. The doctor at tributes her death ie heart failure. Mrs. Worst was 45 yeani old en the 21th of January. She was horn and raised In Salisbury township. She was a daughter of the Inte Jehn Amnion, and n cousin of Peter Amnion, proprietor of the Keystone house. Her mother dled years age rather suddenly. Besides a husband, Mrs. Worst leaves 'three sons and three daughters. Miss Nettle, the eldest dnugbter, Is attend ing school in Philadelphia, and was sum moned home by the sad news this morn ing. The ether daughters are Sue and Pearl ; the sons are Jehn, Ralph and Edgar. The last named Is but four years old. Mrs. Worst bad two sisters who reside in Hai rlsburg. They are Mrs. Emma, wlfe or Alenzo Martin, an engineer en the Pennsyl vania railroad, and Mis. Cera, wife of Oscar Mlller, also an engineer. Since Mr. Worst moved te the alms house and took charge llve years uge Mrs. Worst has been tlie matron. She took care of everything about the household. One glance at the splendid condition of affairs would convliice auyone of her knowledgo of housekeeping. She was a kind and loving mother and an estlmnble Christian woman, bolevod by all who knew Her. She was a member or tbe Pequea Presbyterian church. The Interment will likely be made In Woodward Hill ceme ceme tery, although the funeral arrangements have net been completod as yet. There was an air or sadness about the almshouse this morning when an Intelli ekncku reporter called. Tbe Inmates soemed te feel the death of Mrs. Worst al most as keenly as did her Immediate family. Sbe was a warm friend te them, always looking after their comfort, and they will greatly miss her. PHILOSOPHY OF SNEEZING. A Short Chapter Upen tlie Convulsion of the Nasal Organ. Frem the Dally Graphic. A witty Frenclnnan of the last century based an attack upon the snuff-box en the ground that it was mainly responsible rer tbe decay of that ancient ierm of polltcness, the custom of blessing a person alter sneer ing. He contended that it was sacillcgleus te bless a suee.er who had coerced iiature into the performance of ene of her most in in Igeratiug hiuctlens, aud that the beuiseii was no longer in any degree the same thing. We, hewcer, who knew that the de thronement of the snuff-be led te no actual revival of the bonedletory fashion may ap peal te conscience te threw light upon ene or the most ancient form of in neceut super stition. According te a Rabbinical legeud, siieezing, as a habit, is only roferablo te the tlme of Jacob. Bofero patriarchal days no man sneezed mera than ence ; for the sutll dent reasen that the shock was invariably fatal. At Jacob's intercession this law was abrogated, but only en condition that all races of men should thenceforth employ fit words of congratulation for tbe sneezer's happy dellveraiice. Whatever Its origin anil it may be doubted if it evor had a particular or local starting point the Itractlce has, without doubt, been derived ty the Christian world from the tlmes of heathenism. Polydero Vergil avers that It took its riseat tbotime of the plugue lu 558, when the infected roll down dead sneezing, though apparently lu geed health. The Remans certainly made oblations te the genius of sneezing j but Catullus treats the Infliction with gayety, as we find from the lines in lowieys translation : Cupid, tickled with the sound, Hmttzed aloud, and all around Tlie little Leves, that waited by, liew'd and bleau'd the augury. It is clear, however, that the Remans simply followed an established Green cus tom. Centuries before, Aristotle had given his own account of the omen, and was se far refined In his explanations as te tell his readers why sneeziug from neon te mid nlixht was geed, aud from nlulit te neon unlucky. It would be fruitless te Inquire through what channel the practice came te the Greeks, for traces of its existence are te be found net only in the widely contrasted civilizations of antiquity, but even among the barbarous tribes of e very quarter of the glebe. Before Greece was a nation, the sneezer was blessed nlike In the " Dark Continent" and beyond the Ganges. The lnoffable Buddha himself ence sneezed, wbercupeuallhls priests exclalmed, "May the wolcemo ene live!" Buddha, how ever, took them soverely te task, and the right th say "May you live, sir!" te a Buddhist prlest is still a fruitful subject of popular contention. Although sneezing is a purely involuntary act, it is posslble in seme inoasure te guard against its attacks. In the caHO of fully de eloped cold the suf ferer must nocessarily submit te the inlllc inlllc tlen ; but, as te the sucoze casual, It would appear te have Influence only in a listless or weakened condition of the bodily powers Peeple seldom sueoze when their faculties are in full tension. Great nervous oxclte exclte oxclte ineut will hardly admit of the relaxation of a sneeze. Hence we often find a church, a hall or a theatre filled with an audience ready te Indulge en the smallest provoca tion. Thev are in the passive aud reci pient mood. On the ether hand, u strong nervous concentration possesses the preacher, lecturer or actor. His faculties are girded up for tbe feat before him, and iie can at least temporarily defy the draughts that inake martyrs of seme of his n carers. Death or Woodward Althnuse.

DUrriCULT TO FRAME. A Bill te ChMCft the Read Laws Will Net Salt Alt Parts or the State. Frem the Philadelphia Recerd. Sanies A. Gundy, of Lewlsburg, Fa., as chairman of the Stats Beard or Agricul ture's committee en reads, gives his ides of hew te obtain better highways In the state, as fellows t " A general read law for Pennsylvania suited te the varied condi tions of the several sections or the state will be dlffleult'te frame. But such s law Is needed, and should designate the kind of read te be constructed, which should be suited te the kind and amount of traffic en the read. Many reads are se little used that te macadamise them would be reck less extravagance. "A county supervisor should be ap pointed who should be competent, aud should authorize the kind of read te bs con structed. A township supervisor should be elected who should be made primarily and individually liable for damages re sulting from his negligence, and should give bends for faithful performanee or hla duty. The read taxea should be made pay able In money In all eases. But no law will be enforced unless the people are iu sympathy with It. They can only be brought In sympathy with a new read law that would make radical changes In the jnaklng or reads and collecting or taxes, by education, by showing them by actual demonstration that It will be advantageous and econo mical Ter them te support such ohanges. This can beat be done by the construction or short stretches or macadam reads en the most Important highways in each town ship, selecting the worst portions or such reads rer such improvements. Seeing such reads and using tnetn in comparison with poorly made mud reads will be the most potent educator that can be had. "This Is well shown In theCassatt read In Montgomery county, as also In a short st i etch or about eighty reds or macadam read made In ene or the townships or Union county some fifteen years age. The portion macadamized was about the worst section of a four mile read leading out or Lewlsburg. The stones were at tbe side of the read, and were broken and the road bed cevered wide enough for two tracks, depth of stones unknown, at a cost, I am told, of only $4 per lineal red, or $1,280 per mile. The supervisor who constructed the read was voted ent of office the following spring, as might have been supposed. But te-day, II ft eon years after, with net one dollar spent en this soctlen since, this piece of read Is considered the most economi cally constructed In the whole township, and the supervisor new rocelves the credit due htm at the time. Reads en which such permanent Improvements are te be made should be properly located, aud changes contemplatod should be made be fore tlie work Is begun. " But Is the macadam system te be tbe mad of tbe twentieth century? I think net. The Appian Way, running from Reme te Capua, has been In use for 2200 years, and the macadam, a cheaper form, has been In use for 100 years. Surely tbe genius of the twentieth ceutury will de vise a better plan. If this improved read be a steel rail resting en a steel tie, like the atroet railways of our cities, or whatever form is Ukely te be adopted, all work done should be such as will be suited te the new reads, and probably nothing mera nearly fills this requirement than the macadam system. But whatever Is dene, let us go Just se fast as the education of the peeple will warrant. It' they are educated te de mand geed reads, they will come; If net, It will be difficult te get them under any law." FAILURE Or JOHN A. liniTTON.

Fer that oflense he had net been proseoutod up te 10 o'clock this morning, but St Is probable that he will be complained against. He la wanted en ether charges. Win. Procter, the Seventh ward political boss of the colored men, claims that Wiley as saulted and threatened him en last Wed nesday. Wiley was badly beaten In that disturbance and was net arrested, because he was unable te leave his home. The warrants for the above offenses were served en him last evening after the assault noted In the first paragraph. He was unable te furnish ball. Wiley is also wanted en a charge of as sault and battery preferred against him at the office of Alderman Halbach. The prosecutor there Is Jacob Miller, ene of the Russian colony living in that section or the elty. Mlller alleges that last December Wlley, without provocation, attacked and Injured him.

A large fratne barn belonging te Samuel Wltmer, or Celeraln township, was en tirely destroyed by fire en Monday ovo evo ove nlng. Mr. Wltmer rosldes near Wesley M. K, church and net far from Cellins post pest office, en a farm which belonged te a large tract called the "Old Scotchman Place." The barn was orectod by D. D. Hess, who then owned the farm. Mr, Wltmer pur chased It aud moved there seme years age. The 11 re was discovered about eight o'clock in the evenlug by Mr. Wltmer himself. He was down In the cellar pick ing potatoes and when he came up he caw that the barn was In a blaze. The fire did net seem te lw confined te any particular place but all ever the upper part of the building. It was then tee late te save any thing but the llve stock and that was dene, In the building was a large quantity or hay, much or which had been baled aud was ready for shipping, and last seasen's crop of wheat, etc. Many farming Implements, the wagon and harness were all consumed. The building Is insured In the Southern Mutual company, but tbe amount will net cover the less by any means Thy origin or the II re Is unknown, but It is supposed te have been the work of an Incendiary. Illda Ter Market Stalls. The market coinmittee or councils met en Monday evening and epened bids for the building and altering of market stands. Fer building stalls In the old market house the bidders were Gable A Smeych, $157 j McLaughlin A Gesell, $175. Fer widen, lug tbe stalls In the new market heuse the bids were: Gable A Smeycb, $57; Mo Me Laughlln A Gesell, $70. Fer building fish stalls lu the rear uf the new market house tbe bids were : Gable A Smeych, $35 ; Mc Laughlin A Gesell, $33. Tbe cominlttee decided te recommend te councils the awarding or the contract rer the stalls In tbe old market house te Gable A Smeych and tbe remaining work te McLaughlin A Gesell. ALMOST A FIRE. A Little Bey's Experiment With a Lamp Causes Trouble. The heuse occupied by William Butler, a barber, who lives at Ne. 414 Seuth Duke street, had a narrow escape from destruc tion by fire te-day. Mrs. Butler went away from the heuse and left her little boy Frank, aged six years, alene In the house. They boy took a stick, which he placed in the stevs and lighted. He then started upstairs te light the lamp, which steed ii neli tbe bureau. He applied tbe stick and lighted the wick, after which he accidentally upset the lamp. The covering of the bureau caught fire, and was consumed in a few mlilutes. The little boy gave the alarm, and Mrs. Eliza beth Lebar, a nolghber, ran In aud extin guished the flatnes. Tlie top of the bureau was badly bu med, and It was altogether a very close call for the beuse. Hew llutler Shakei. Anyone looking closely at Gen. Butler's hands, says the Bosten Gazette, will notice that the base of Ills right thumb Is a very well de eloped, full aud firm ploceof llesh, while at the same place en his left hand it is very n.iicii surunxen and ruiieu away. The ditlnrouce Is due te shaking hands. Probably no living American who has never been president has shaken bunds with se many thousand iioeple as General Butler, and he has developed the muscles of his right hand aud arm by It, Instead of letting It exhaust and paralyze them. The general says that the reason handshaking does net try him is that he dees net let any man grasphlmby the fingers, butadvances bis hand te meet the ether man's, Instead ( retreating it, and seizes the ether hand hlinsell in a firm grasp. Then he manages the proceeding te suit himself. Deinocmtle Galnu In tlie County. Lancaster county Democrats were active In last Tuesday's election, and w here they made a vigorous light, large gains are the result. In Eden township the greater part of the Democratic ticket was elected, and rer the first time In It) years tbere Is a Democratic Judge. In Pulton township u Democratic supervisor and school director were elected. This has net happened be be be fere for eyer 'JO years. In Bart township pirtef the Democratic ticket was elected, and in Little Britain thore Is a gain of a Domecratlcjudge. In Celeraln the Demo cratic majority was largely increased. In Salisbury, the Democrats elected a att of the ticket. In Brecknock there has been a Democratic Justice of the poace chosen. Lltitz has a Dotuec-ratlc burgess, and In Republican Martlu the Democrats oleclod two school dlrocters and a supervisor. Will the 1'rlnue Spill t The Duke or Orleans was en Monday removed te the prison of Clalrvaux. Thfs prison is the building of the ancient abbey founded by St. Bernard, aud the principal Industry iu which prisouers are empleyed Is that of spinning cotton and flax. THE HOUSE FAVORS CHICAGO. Eight Ballets Required te Select a Sits Fer th World's Fair What Will the Senate say I The Heuso by a small majority decided en the eighth ballet that the world's fair tf 1802 should be held In Chicago. The Senate, being rer Washington, has yet te be wen te this wsy or thinking. Senater Quay is quietly fishing In Flerida. 12x 12x Senater Piatt is quietly managing his ox ex press company in New Yerk. Dcpew, Mlller and Hlsoeck, the rest of the big four, were In Washington working sealeusly te act the fair for New Yerk. But Quay and Piatt did net want the fair In New Yerk In 1893, because they thought it might help the Democrats and se hurt the Republi cans; and Quay and) Piatt absent were stromrer than the ethers nrescnt. It was a foregone conclusion that the fair would net go te New Yerk, simply because theso two gentlemen had said It would be Inexpedient for the Republican party te let New Yerk have It. It went te Chicago qulte naturally, be be eause Chicago has the beat organisatien and the best werkers. On Monday, for example, the Chicago commlltee had three ex-members en the fleer or the Heuso te the ene that any ether city had. Warner Mlller and Jehn II. Starln were the only members or the New Yerk committee who get en the fleer. Chauncey Depew, ex-Secretary Whltney, Mayer Grant aud ethers were the guests or the press gallery because there was no room rer them oisewhero, and they were net entitled te admission te tbe fleer. The New Yerk Democrats de net take their do de fcat painfully. They soe that Its, political effect will be te their advantage, in New Yerk, widening, as It will, the breach, be tween the Republican factions. Dopew, Miller and Starln, en the ether hand, are disgusted. They have no hoiie In the Sonate, except that they might be able te help te defent Chicago. Tliny see it all new. They see that Quay and Piatt outwitted them. Nothing shows tills mero plainly than the vetes or the Republicans or the Pennsylvania dolegatton, which, at first apparently at random, were gradually massed en Chicago until at last fifteen vetes were cast for Chicago, Including all theso of Quay's particular followers, while only flve fell te New Yerk. Rey bum signalized bis entry Inte Congress by almost giving the casting vote en the seventh ballet for Chicago. Seeing that she had 164, and forgeMiig that she needed 150, he changed his vote from Washington te Chicago, but could net prevent anether liallel. Otherwise the Philadelphia mem mem mem borsvetod Ter New Yerk. The great Chi cago committee, after the Chlcageans had fintsbed their war whoop of victory, which was the only reward 2,000 peeple had rer sitting through eight ballets In the Heuse, began te think or the Scnate, where they had dene comparatively little wcrk. What bethers them most Is the fact that se many senaters are personally Interested in Wash ington real estate. Seme, like Shermau and Cameron, have very large Investments. Many ethers have comparatively smalt ones. It was reported that a syndicate of millionaire senators had secured an option upon a large amount or Washington real eslate, valued at $0,000,000. for thirty days. The sale will turn upon tlie location or the world's fair. On the final ballet Pennsylvanlans veted: Chicago Atkinson, Bayne, Craig, Cul Cul bertsen, DaUell, Darlington. McCennlck, Osberne, Ray, Reybnrn. Rife, Scranton, Scull, Townsend and Watsen.? New Yerk Bingham, Brunner, Bucks low, Harmer. Kerr, Malsh, O'Neill, Rellly, Wright and Yardley. Net voting Bresfus, Mulchler and Ran dall. The stroet sceuea In Chicago Monday afternoon and ovenlng told of enthusiasm unmistakable. The Incidents were net unllke theso familiar te every ene when a national convention Is en. In the crowds surrounding the newspaper ollleos and ether places whero bulletins are displayed woie representatives from all classes or so se so clety. It was easy te bee from the faces that the majority fett an Interest lu the re sults that wan little short of personal. Such cordial effusiveness warm hand shakings, gratified smiles, hard back slap plug, genuine shouts or pure Jey with also much geed reeling, Is net often wit nessed anywhore. Usually tien pews of this sort, or rather at news from political conventions and the llke, thore Is te be seen the Inovltable losing side, but here all were winners. At night the toots of resur rected election horns mlngled every low minutes with the boom of cannon en the lake front, aud at all the clubs, hetel s and ethor resorts the coming or the world's fair te Chicago waa celebrated with vim. ii ' Granted by the Register.
