London, Jan. 14. Copyright. All Lon
don to-night is in mourning. Every theater
and place of amusement i- closed, the
blinds of all the great clubs in Pall Mall, St.
James street and Piccadilly are drawn, and
everywhere flags are drooping at halt mast,
while the streets and public homes are full
of people who are talkinjofthe lives and
deaths of the Prince and priest who passed
away within an hour of each other this
morning.
It is an unfortunate circumstance for the
royal establishment that the heir to the
heir of the throne should hac died on the
same day as Cardinal Manning- It his been
impossible not to draw comparisons be
tween the lives of the two men, though one
wa cut off in the prime of youth and the
other was far past three score and ten.
Een the sycophants and toadies of loyalist
newspapers, cannot write arcund the subject
without unconsciously establishing a con
trast between the possibilities ot the life of
the Duke of Clarence at its best and the
noble work and lofty accomplishments of
the saintly priest, who died full of years
and honors that maki the career of any
prince of England seem mean and paltry.
Announcement of Both Deaths.
These same newspapers afford an inter
esting study. This afternoon all came out
in deep mourning and announce the two
deaths in much the same manner. For in-

stance, the Globe says: "It is with the deep
est sorrow that we have to announce that
His Royal Highness, Prince Albert Victor,
the Duke of Clarence and Avondale, died
shortly after 9 o'clock this morning," and in
another column: "We regret to announce
that Cardinal Manning passed away calmly
soon after 8 o'clock this morring."
The St. Jamc GazctU has it thus: "With
profound regret we have to announce that
the Duke of Clarence and Avondale died at
Sandnngham House at 9:15 this morning,"
and, "We regret to announce that Cardinal
Maiin:ng died at his residence, the Arch
bishop's house, Westminster, at 8:20 this
mornirg."
The other newspapers make about the
same distinction in the degree of their re
gret, while not one can find words enough
to laud the dead Prince or express their
srmpathv with his royal parents and grand
parent or his prospective bride.
Opinions Iieard In the street.
But it is not in the newspapers that one
get1- the opinion of the people and view of
the cx'st.ttg social conditions in England.
The roil opinion of the people concerning
the death of an heir presumptive to the
throne is worth knowing. The first person
to whom I mentioned the death of the
Prinethi. morning was a hotel waiter.
"We can get along much better without
him," quoth the waiter, roughly, "than we
can without Cardinal Manning." The
waiter was not a Catholic, cither. He concluded-
"It's me, and the likes of me, that
supports them princes."
Only a short time afterward a friend told
n'e of a sce-ic he witnessed in an omnibus,
which may be termed a vehicle of the
populace. In this omnibus a man who wa,s
reading a newspaper said to his neighbor
precisely what the waiter had said, the
death of the Caidmal was a greater loss
than that of the Prince. One man was
highly outraged at his proposition and de-
tireu iu uin, uut every other person in the
vehicle upheld the first speaker.
Scenes Among the Clubs.
By 11 o'clock, when the prince's -death
was aenerallv known throughout central
London, the callers at Marlborough House
had become ery numerous. A small and
very quiet crowd stood on the pavement
opposite. Man women were in it. The
flag over the Marlborough Club, opposite to
the prince's house, was floating at half
mast. So was that of the Unionist Club,
next door. All along Pall Mall the clubs
showed rows of drawn blinds.
Through the little narrow outer doorway
ued lor foot passengers calling at the
Prince's house there passed in and out a
steady stream of ladies and "entlemon in
frilks and furs, who had dri en up in hand-'
some cuiiaca lubij;" meir names in con
dolence in the visitors' book. I failed,
however, to detect the tearful eyes and sor
rowful faces that the English reporters
' claim w ere to be oben ed on all sides.
In the talk that one overheard in the
. cro d that stood watching outside the house.

as if expecting that a prince's death must
be accompanied by some extraordinary
manifestation, there seemed to be little
thought of Albert Victor's princely posi
I tion.
Brldtcroom Store Than Kins.
That, if he had lived years, he would have
been a king seemed at the time to be not so
much in their thoughts as that if he had
lived a few months he would have been
married to a lady, whom the people have
come to regard with affection. Expressions
of sympathy were to be heard on all
hands, and yet it was whispered before the
Duke ot Clarence's illness that Princess
May was really in lore with Prince George,
instead of his elder brother, and that her
affections was reciprocated, so that the
young lady may be Queen of England yet.
One hears in'all parts of London express
ions of satisfaction that it is George rather
than Albert Victor who is now in the line
of succession to the throne. Nevertheless,
the death of the Duke of Clarence and
Avondale casts a gloom over London. The
circumstance that there is to be no royal
wedding next month means alone a great
loss to the tradesmen, and through them to
the working people. The fact, also, that
the court goes into mourning for three
months will bring about a dull London
season, which means further dearth of busi
ness in many trades.
Unexpected Birth of the rrincr.
It may not be generally remembered
that Prince Albert Victor was a seven
months child. The Prince was born in Jan
uary, and the joyful event, savs the annual
register of that year, was not expected until
March. It was intended that the confine
ment of Her Royal Highneis should take
place at Marlborough House, and the
Princess was to leave Frogmore for London
in about a fortnight. Her Royal Hirhness
was present at a skating party at Virginia
Water on the 8th. Upon returning to Frog
more she became so ill that the Prince of
Wales sent a telegram to the Queen at Os
borne, announcing the condition of Her
Boval Highness, and a messenger was dis
patched for Dr. Brown, who arrived at 7
o'clock, and at two minutes to 9 a healthy
prince was born. Messages had been sent
for medical men and for Sir George Grey,
but the Prince was born long before they
could reach Frogmore.
Dr. Sieveking was the first to arrive from
London. He was followed by Dr. Fnrre
and Dr. Gream, and later by Sir Charles
Locock. Sir George Grey arrived at 11
o'clock. The event being premature there
was no nurse in attendance, and no prepara
tion had been made at Frogmore for the
advent of the Prince. A telegram was
dispatched to the Queen immediately after
the birth of the Prince. Earl Granville
was the only representative of the Cabinet
present at the birth, and his presence was
owing to his having been invited torshoot
on ihe following day with the Prince of
Wales.
The Cardinal's I.at Illness.
Cardinal Manning's illness began in the
form of a slight cold toward the end of last
week. Comparatively little, it seems, was
thought about the matter by the Cardinal
or his household. On Saturday, however,
Dr. Gasquet, a relative of the Cardinal, ad
vised him, if only as a precautionary
measure, to remain in bed. This the
Cardinal did over Sunday, but by Monday
the symptoms had become 90 pronounced
that it was thought desirable to call in
another physician. Still nothing was felt
in the shape of serious alarm among the
members of the Cardinal's household. Ap
prehensions did arise, however, when it
was announced that bronchitis had set in.
Sir Andrew Clark saw the Cardinal in the
course of Monday and again yesterday.
The limes, it was then understood, had be
come affected. So grave, indeed, had the
position become that the Cardinal had the
last sacrament of his church administered.
Father Dillon, of Bayswater, officiated,
Canon Johnston, the Cardinal's private
secretary, and Bishop Vaughn, of Sallord,
being also present.
Last Sacraments of His Church.
When a dignitary of the Roman Catholic
Church is seriously ill he summons his
canons round his bed and makes his pro
fession of faitbi Dressed in their canonic
als the canons of the diocese of Westmin
ster grouped themselves round their Car
deal's bed. This was in the plain little
bedroom which His Eminence has always
occupied, at the very top of the Arch
bishop's house. "Weak, excessively weak,
ashe was, Cardinal Manning closely followed
the reading of the profession of faith.
Provost Gilbert, as the head of the canons'
court, read over the words which constitute
the profession. The Cardinal followed,
with his finger on another book, and now
and then he would pause to sav a word
upon any point which he wished specially
to emphasize.
Wheu the last word had been said the
Cardinal individually blessed the canons,
accompanying each blessing with a kindly
observation. Then the canons reverentlv
kissed his hand, and he embraced them as
in his weak state he best could.
Triiice Forgotten for Prelate.
It became evident that the prelate was
sinking at about 4:30 this morning, at about
which time the Bishop of Saltord, Dr.
Vaughn, who was in attendance at the bedl
side, said mass for the repose of the dyin
Cardinal's soul. It was, indeed, while the
Bishop was actually engaged in this solemn
office that the spirit of the illustrious prelate
left its earthly tenement. He remained
perfectly calm and conscious to the last. It
was yesterday that the fears of the worbt
were entertained.
The London Trades Council met to-night
and passed a vote of condolence unon the
death of Cardinal Manning. The death of
the Duke of Clarence and Aondale was
not referred to.
The lollowing cablegram was received to
night: Lincoln, Minister, London:

lences of the President by reason of the la

in the settlement of the labor disputes m
London for several years past. The cele

Sketch of the Prince's Lire.
Prince Albeit Victor Christian Edward,
Duke of Clarence and Avondale, was the
eldest son or the Prince of Wales and heir
presumptive to the throne of England, ne
was horn January 8, 1864. Ho was educated
at Trinity College, Cambridge, and nt tbe
University of nirtelberg. Before entering
college he served two years as a naval cadet
ou the Britannia, and in 1879 started with his
brother, Pnnco Georgo, on a three years'
vojage around the world in the warship
Bacchante.
After a visit to India ho returned to Ene
land, and in 1 SOT .took bis seat in the House
of Lords, having been in that j ear created
Duke of Clarence and Avondale and Earl of
Alhlone. Ho was third major in the famous
Tenth Hussar Regiment, or which nis father,
the. Prince of Wales, is colonel.
Prince Albert has been known to his asso
ciates ss "Prince Eddy," and has been dis
respectfully nicknamed "Collars and Caffs"
because of his careful attention to dress.
Not So Smart as George.
Intellectually he has been unfavorably
compared with his lounger hrother, Prince
George, who is a manly and popular youth.
Prince Albert's principal pastimo, part
from military lite, has been the collection of
photographs. Ho was very fond of music
and was himsolf a performer on the violin.
Most of the stories of the elder brother
concern the younger one as well. Perhaps
the best of them owes its origin to a ball in
some West Indian town during their tonr of
the world. Prince George was devoting
his attention to .some pretty girls
present, leaving the official dowagers to his
elder brother. At last Pi mce Albert Victor
rebuked him. It wasn't proper, he said, to
behave o; ho should maintain the credit of
the family and dance with the older ladies,
etc. ttThercat Trince George retorted, "Oh,
you go into a corner and sing 'God savo your
grandmother,'" and went on dancing with
the pietty girls.
CARDINAL GIBBONS OVERCOME
By the Coincident News ot the Deaths of the
Tiro Cardinals.
Baltimork, Jan. 14. Cardinal Gibbons
was profoundly affected when informed this
morning of the death of Cardinal Manning.
"May God have mercy on his soul," was
the simple and earnest prayer of His Emi
nence, upon reading the dispatch conveying
the intelligence of the demise of his distin
guished colaborer in the English-speaking
world. Before he could reach his room an
Associated Press dispatch was handed him.
It read: "Cardinal Simeoni died this mora
ine of influenza."
This announcement, following so soeedily
upon the cablegram giving the intelligence
ot the passing away of Cardinal Manning,
almost completely prostrated Cardinal Gib
bons, and ne immediately retired to his
room. Cardinal Gibbons had long known
each of his dead associates of the church,
and to-day dictated a long and fervent
tribute to Cardinal Manning's memory.
THE P3P EXPECTS DEATH.
He,SayS That Bo Focls- His Hour, Is Also
Approaching:.
Rome, Jan. 14. The coincident deaths of
Cardinals Simeoni and Manning so affected
the Pope that he exclaimed:
"I feel that "my hour is also approach

The barbarous treatment of the American
seamen in Valparaiso has aroused the old
soldiers here. Permission to enlist would
cause the veterans to pour into Santiago.

Columbus, O., Jan. 14. Special.' Mr.
Griffin, of Lucas, has been on record for
some time as being opposed to anv investi
gation of the right of Mr. Brice to a seat in
the United States Senate. To-day he sus
tained his position by voting with the
Democrats against referring the resolution
to the Committee on Elections. The resolu
tion was sent there, however, though Mr.
Reiter, of Montgomery, claimed it had been
carried to the table by not being called up,
when assigned as a special order for Wednes
day. Mr. Doty, of Cuyahoga, to day intro
duced in the House a bill which, he says, is
the only original scheme proposed for reor
ganizing the Congressional districts. It
gives the Republicans 14 districts and the
Democrats 7. This complexion is emphatic,
and will Dot be changed by Democratic suc
cess on the State ticket Mr. Doty claims
it is in line with the suggestions of Gov

supporters, and between the two the mem

entrance of Dr. Depew into the Club-House
was the signal for an outburst of cheers. '
Then the Bliss party took up the cheering
and made the walls resound.
Mr. Bliss was unable to attend the elec

WAsntKQTOif, D. C Jan. U. t
If the mental cuticle of Mr. W. S. Hol
man, of Indiana, were not peculiarly im
pervious to shafts of sarcasm, ridicule and
logic, it would certainly have ben per
forated like a sieve to-day. He ired not
only the Republicans, but his own party
almost beyond endurance with his stupid
demagogism.
There are probably not a dozen Demo
crats who, from choice, would vote for the
buncombe economic resolution introduced
by Mr. Holman yesterday, and discussed
to-day, but for the sake of harmony, and
avoid administering too severe a rebuke to
the Chairman of the Committee on Appro
priations, the resolution will doubtless be
passed by nearly a party vote, but I have
failed to find a single Democrat who would
admit privately his respect for it, and espe
cially among the young Democracy of the
House, who have little regard for the
"mossbacks."
Bitter Foellnff Against Holman.
The feeling is bitter against the ancient
member from Indiana, who, they say,
brought in his resolution without consult
ing any one. They must support it, be
cause to oppose it would be to range them
selves on the side of extravagant expendi
tures, by indirection. It is a poor argu
ment, but it is strong enough to hold them
in line at tbe beginniug of a national
campaign.
"Posey county politics." they term the
action of Mr. Holman. That gentleman is
not from Posey county, but he is from the
extreme south'of his State, -where even in
recent years the march of modern improve
ment had not penetrated, where only the
backwoods pedagogue was abroad, and
where, by the contracting influences of
solitude, men's minds were cramped and
their vision limited to the bare present
necessities of their shriveled souls. Once
in a while one man would stand out from
his fellows as possessed of great genius for
the advancement of small contemptible
things, and in this constftuency, so barren
and hopeless as a whole, such geniuses are
looked npon as oracles, and are selected for
representatives in Congress. "
TVhat Hulinanism TTould So.
. "Whether Mr.' HlniannieansnjJiinsf.
but mere camiiafgnclapfrap'try "his" resolu
tion or not, it is in spirit opposed to all that
has been done Tor the development of the
country by the use of public money. He
would nave the engineer stop his surveys
for river and harbor improvements, the"
mason aud carpenter drop their implements
that public buildings might begin to crum
ble while but half finished, would with
draw subsidies to owners of vessels who are
planning to put the flag of the country in
all waters where it is not now seen, would
lop off the sugar bounty, which develops
the native manufacture of this universal ne
cessity to an enormous degree, while de
creasing by 50 per cent the present price of
sugar in short, would reduce the appropri
ations to the exact sum necessary to conduct
the departmental business of the Govern
ment. With such a policy the Government
would soon stagnate and nave no business
to transact Is it any wonder that Mr. Hol
man's course is disgusting to every progres
sive Democrat?
Young Men Not With the Objector.
"I suppose I must vote for the resolu
tion," said one young member to me to
day, "but I believe it will be a great cam
paign card for the Kepublicans. We dd not
want that sort of economy in this way.
The young and intelligent element likes to
see the Government strain every nerve for
the development of this grand country of
ours, and an expenditure of $1,000,000,000,
if rightly directed, should rather be ad
mitted than censured."
It is somewhat strange that the young
men of the party in Congress did not sup
press Holman, feeling as they do. But he
took them by surprise, and they were not
equal to the occasion. Once into the fight
the chance was lost, and they must pocket
their disgust and fall in with the Posey
county political procession. One mav think
I that too much importance is given to this
resolution, Dut tne intensity ot the teeiing
in regard to it, openly against it on the Re
publican side and poorly suppressed on the
Democratic, makes it the leading matter of
the opening session. It is something that
will crop out constantly during months to
come.
Holman in Harmony With Himself.
. In originating this resolution, however,
Mr. Holman is quite in harmony with his
old self. He has always been a conspicu
ous opponent of all that would tend to de
velop and advance the country to the fore
front of inventive, constructive and com
mercial nations. His mission in Congress
is not to plan anything himself which
would bear the imprint of statesmanship.but
to place obstacles in the way of such plans
emanating from others.
He has earned a monument for himself
for being, of all men who were ever in Con
gress, the most enthusiastic in his political
bigotry, the most alert in all that is wretch
edly narrow, the most indefatigable in the
use of weapons for the obstruction of the
best and worthiest measures coming before
the Congress of which he is unfortunately a
member, and yet, with all his partisan en
ergy, he has, possibly by his course, given
more assistance to the Kepublicans than to
the Democrats by his successful attacks on
the patience of the House and of the
country.

of Michigan the question of the constitu

Presidental electors by Congressional dis
tricts. The case has not yet been taken to
the court, but probably will be.
After the conference between Alger and
Quay it was given out that Senator Quay
would introduce his resolution in the Sen
ate, which is to be referred to the Com
mittee on Beform in the Civil Service, of
which Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, is
Chairman, asking for an investigation to
leam to what extent the officeholders under
President Harrison have interfered with
Pennsylvania politics. Senator Wolcott is
opposed to President Harrison, and, of
course, such a resolution would be favor
ably reported.
It is said that Senator Quay has finally
thrown down the gauntlet to President
Harrison, and will henceforth openly fight
him "on the floor of the Senate and else
where and especially seek to defeat his
rnminations to office, with the solid co-operation
of the Democrats in the Senate, but
it is not known what will be required by
the Democrats as compensation.
The real purpose of all this is to bring
about the nomination of General Alger for
the Presidency. Senator Quay has thrown
aside the Blaine mask. The late Blaine
boomers realize that Mr. Blaine is not a
candidate, nor will he be.

A SOUTHERN SHOCK.
Slempht Shaken By an Earthquake That
Scared the Nervous Ones.
Memphis, Jan. 14. Special. Two
heavy shocks of earthquake were felt in
this city this morning. The first was at
2:04, duration about 4 seconds, followed by
a second shock 10 seconds later, duration
about 10 seconds. The disturbance was
from South to North.
The shock was quite severe. The massive
new building of the Athletic Club trembled
violently, and several members engaged at
cards and billiards fled in haste. There
was an exodus from several newspaper and
other offices occupied at night, and much
alarm was roaniiestea, as the, shoes was
almost as that felt here the night Charleston
was wrecked. Throughout the city
and suburbs sleepers were awakened by the
rattling pf windows, doors and crockery,
but nothing more serious than the breaking
of dishes falling from insecure shelves has
been reported.
The shock was accompanied by a rumbling
sound like distant thunder. Beports from
various points in Mississippi, Alabama aud
Tennessee are to the same effect.
CKABHED INTO A SIKEET CAB.
A Fort "Wayne Limited Train Cansei a
Frightful Wreck in Chicago.
Chicago, Jan. 14. A surface railway
crossing horror occurred to-night at Forty
seventh street and the Pittsburg, Port
Wayne and Chicago tracks. An inbound
Fort Wayne train struck a street transfer
horse car. Two passengers, unidentified,
on the horse car, were killed instantly.
Thirteen other passengers were injured.
The train was the limited, and the crash
was at a point whero there is a network of
14 tracks. The catastrophe was due to the
combined carelessness ot three men. Her-

EED HOT TIMES AHEAD AT ALBAST
rSPXCIAL TKLZOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.1
Albany, Jan. 14. This is the biggest
day that the yellow onyx walls of the
chamber of theSenate of the State of K"ew
York ever saw. At last the Bepublican
Senators went on their long threatened
strike. They were not well organized, and
they did not hold together. The strike was
a fizzle, and its only practical result is the
suspension of three Bepublican Senators
and the institution of contempt proceedings
against them.
The enumeration bill passed by a party
vote after a long debate, without any previ
ous question or limit to the discussion. It
was a test of Lieutenant Governor Shee
han's power as a presiding officer, and,
though the gavel was broken, he conducted
the proceedings with dignity and precision.
Following the programme of the session as
printed several weeks ago, the Democrats
called up the enumeration bill as the first
matter to be considered. They intended to
stay in session until the bill was passed.and,
in case the Bepublican Senators declined to
vote or absented themselves, to unseat
enough Kepublicans to give the Democrats
the three-fifths vote, or 20 Senators, neces
sary to have present in order to pass any
bill making an appropriation oi money from
the State Treasury.
Republicans Plead in Tain.
The Democrats had 17 votes, or enough to
pass bills, as only a majority of 32 Senators
are required for that, but the Constitution
requires the presence of 20 Senators when
appropriation bills are passed. The Demo
crats were determined that they would'have
20 Senators present if they had to unseat
three more Republicans. The Kepublicans
knew of this determination, and, with the
exception of three of them, who are sick,
they were all in their seats. Several Be
publican Senators made appeals to the Dem
ocrats not to act hastily on the bill, but to
postpone its consideration until next week.
They said the people of the State would
punish the Democrats next fall for their
hasty legislation and besought them to stay
their hands and rest themselves awhile.
The debate lasted for several hours and
died of itself. The roll was then called.
All the Democrats voted aye, making 17
votes, enough to pass the bilL The Bev.
SenatorsEdwanfe ''voted -ndTfc TJetbv aSW
Bichardson, two of the Bepublicans whose
seats are contested, voted no. The bill was
passed. The other Bepublican Senators
did not at first .vote. They sat in their
seats and declined to answer to their names.
Sheehan Forces the Issue.
Lieutenant Governor Sheehan said: "Ac
cording to rule 14, already adopted by this
body, every Senator who-is within the Sen
ate chamber when a question is stated from
the chair shall vote thereon, unless he shall.
be excused by the Senate, or unless he be
directly interested in the question. Under
that rule every Senator must vote unless
excused. The Clerk wilL call the roll
again."
When this was done Senators Coggeshall,
Erwin, Saxton and O'Connor still refused
to vote, pleading ignorance on the subject
under discussion. The Clerk then an
nounced the result 17, all Democrats, in
the affirmative, and 6 Bepublicans and
Bev. Senator Edwards in the negative. The
bill W3s passed, end goes to the Assembly
for concurrence.
The Democratic Senators and the Lieu
tenant Governor consulted for a few min
utes, and then Senator Cantor, as Demo
cratic leader, returning to his place on the
floor, said that it was his unpleasant duty
to offer a resolution to compel the Senators
to respect the rules of the Senate. He of
fered a resolution that the Senators who
were in their seats -and declined to vote be
declared in contempt, and that the matter
be referred to the Committee on Judiciary
for further action.
Three Senators In Contempt.
Senator Coggeshall, the first of the four
Senators who had struck, got up and ex
plained that he did not know that the rules
had been adopted, and that if he had known
that the rules had been adopted he would
with great reluctance have voted no.
On motion of Senator Cantor, Senator
Coggeshall's name was then stricken from
the list of tbe Senators in contempt, and
the list was Senators Erwin, O'Connor and
Saxton, all that were left out of the 14
presumably defiant Bepublicans.
This was a new experience for Senator
Erwin. He has been Speaker of the As
sembly, and this is his third term in the
Senate. He served six terms in the Assem
bly. He never thought that'the Democrats
would take the attitude they did. He had
hopes that the Lieutenant Governor would
follow the precedent set by Speaker Beed
and count him as present and not votintr.
He is a man with brains and a big voice.
He got up and said:
A Protest Vehement bnt Vain.
I protest against this dictation of the,
minority. I enter my protest here now.
You undertake to declare me in contempt.
What have I done? I have declined to vote
on this bill because I do not understand its
provisions and because time has not been
allowed to consider it. 1 am here to repre
sent my constituents and voice their wishes.
They are entitled that I should know
the contents and:have time to consider
the measures on which I am called to vote.
I am not obstructing legislation. Your bill is
Eassed. It received the constitutional n tim
er of votes. For what do you undertake to
punishme? The rules define what constitutes
contempt. I have not been disorderly in
this House, and I have not interrupted its
proceedings.
He held up the blue book in his hand and
read the grounds for punishment for con
tempt one by one.
I have not published any false and ma
licious report of the proceedings of thi3
House. I have notiefused to attend or be
examined as a witness. I am ready to bo
sworn and testifv to mv conduct and tbe
.reasons for my action. I have not expressed
my contempt ior tnis nouso, or ior cue ac
tions of its members. I have not expressed
ray contempt for your bill. Your bill is
passed. I shudder at the way jounre con
ducting business. I plead for the dignity of
this body. I plead for the rights of a Repre
sentative which are at stake. ,
A. Volnted Thrnst Parried.
The Lieutenant Governor asked whether
the Senator would say that he had acted in
ignorance of the rules. "I know of none of
,your rules. You have some, squibs for the
government of this House, that is all."
The roll was called on the motion to hold
Senators Erwin, Sexton and O'Connor 'in
contempt. "Cannot I ask bona fide to be
fie'tt easy, hunted Xetcsboy,
I'm strong, you tee, and can

excused from voting on thit motion?" said,
Senator Erwin. "If you want to put me in
jail, put me in. I almost feel like voting
for it myself. I ask in decency to be ex
cused from voting on my own case." He
was excused. Senators O'Connor and
Saxton were also excused.
The vote was 17 to 9, all the Democrats
voting In the affirmative.. The Lieutenant
Governor then said: "Th"e Clerk will omit
the names of the Senators in contempt
from the rolL"
"By what authority do you strike their
names from the roll?" asked Senator Van
Gorder.
"By the authority of party law as old as
the ages itself," replied the Lieutenant
Governor.
What will be done with these Senators
will not be determined until next week.
The Senate has the power to send them to
the Albany county jail for the rest of the
session of the Legislature and to expel
them.
A DYING MAN LYNCHED.
THE BRTJTAI. MUKDEKER OF 3UES.
IIOKTON STKTJNG UP.
Peaceful Citizens ot Oxford, C Aroused to
an Unprecedented Fitch They San;
and Itiddle With Bullets a Man Mho
"Was Dying From a 1'istol Shot.
Oxford, 0.,'Jan. 14- Special Tues
day, George Corbin, a colored coachman,
murdered Mrs. Horton, in whose employ he
was, nnder peculiarly brutal circumstances.
The crime aroused the community, which is
nnusually law-abiding and peaceful, to the
highest pitch of anger, and it was agreed on
all hands that Corbin, when, caught, would
be lynched. As no trace of htm could be
found after the murder, it was supposed he
had made good bis escape.
' - Late"to-SflghT it was learned that Corbin
was in Hiding in the village, and the Mar
shal started to arrest the murderer, but be
fore he arrived tat Corbin's hiding place the
assassin had attempted to end his life by
shooting himself. The aim was not the best,
and death did not follow, though a fatal
wound was inflicted.
In a dying condition the fellow was taken
to the frail prison, but before medical as
sistance could be summoned a mob arrived
on the scene and forcibly secured possession
of Corbin.
The wretch realized what was in store for
him and became frantic with terror, and
even in his dying condition struggled like a
madman for release. He 'creamed and
yelled in fear and anger, but the determined
mob dragged him stubbornly and pitilessly
to a tree, south of the scene of his awful
crime.
Without ceremony a rope was thrown
over a limb, and the quivering murderer
pulled up. Before he could strangle to
death a hundred bullets were buried in his
writhing body. The greatest excitement
still prevails in the village where is lo
cated the alma mater of both President
Harrison and wife over the two most sen
sational occurrences in the history of the
staid old place.
SOME BRIBERY IN OHIO.
The Grand Jury Finds Enough Evidence
Already for Two Indictments.
Columbus,' O., Jan. 14. Special. The
grand jury is still calling witnesses in the
Senatorial bribery case. A number of
Bepresentatives were before the jury to
day. Charles L. Kurtz, who managed the
contest for Governor Foraker, was among
the witnesses called, and Bepresentative
Griffin, of Lucas, who has been accused of
talking about bribery, has been cited to ap
pear to-morrow.
It is. learned from those who ought to be
formed that sufficient evidence has been se
cured to justify two indictments. This in
formation was given out to-day immedi
ately after Judge Pugh had been called to
give information to the jury on the point as
to what constituted bribery. His neces
sary instructions were that it is not that
money should pass in order to constitute
bribery.
The latest information is that the friends
of Senator Sherman in the Senatorial con
test are going to take a htfnd before the
grand jury as a matter of protection.
2H12PHY MUST AHSWEE.
It Will Be Recommended That Councils
Investigate His Conduct.
' A meeting of the Allegheny Committee
of Common Councilmen appointed to in
vestigate the charges against Chief
Murphy was held yesterday afternoon, and
after it was over Chairman Lewis stated
that a recommendation would probably be
made to Councils advising that a thorough
investigation be made. Another meeting of
the committee will be held early next week,
so that a report can be made to Councils
Thursday night. In speaking of what has
been done, Mr. Lewis said:
"We have examined all the evidence and
have found enough to warrant an investiga
tion by Councils, although on account of,
the greater part of it being outlawed, a trial !
by court would not be justified. We have
tried to get all the evidence we could, and
if any person in Allegheny his any infor
mation that has not yet Been reported, I
will consider it a favor if the party having
such information will send me his address
belore next Monday."
It was stated yesterday that Attorney D.
L. Patterson had been retained by certain
Allegheny parties to assist in the prosecu
tion ot the accused officials. Mr. Patterson
is the attorney who defended Jim Kutt.
The parties who secured his services are not
members of the Beform Association.

meeting. The wild, untrained spirit of tha ;
street boys was curbed while questions of
interest were being considered, and for over i
half an hour the young Americans deliber
ated as seriously as Congress in session. It
was an unusual sight to see the ragged 4
newsies speak of "our business," and de- '
mand protection in as determined a tone as j
liberty was asked in 1776. It was not only '
unusual,, but it was pathetic There was ,
a question of bread and butter at stake, '.
an issue of far more importance than '
the millionaire's fortune. It was a crowd J
which some might pity, but only admira- .

tematically they conducted their business.
All were enthusiastic, determined and H
thoughtfnl. There was not the mysteriousH
bluff and bluster displayed by the Law andi

and his short speech was received with ap-
