Wellington, .Tan. 21. A few days ago thu inciiiorlal ot Henry A. Dupont for iiilinlsslon to a seat In the senate from the state of Delaware was presented by Mr. Chandler, of New Hampshire, uml was referred t6 the committee on privileges and elections. Today a cer tllleato of election was presented by the same senator, and was similarly re ferred, to the effect that John Edward Addleks has been legally elected to the vacant seat In the senate from the state of Delaware. An unsuccessful attempt was made by Mr. 11111, New York, backed by Mr. Chandler, to have a bill considered and passed llxlng the term of olllco of all postmasters at four years. Mr. Hale, of Maine, objected, however, on the ground that the bill would only Inten sify the scramble for postolllce appoint ments, and the bill was not taken up. Most of the morning hour wns taken up today, as It had been for the two previous days In the wrangle over the bill as to electrical conduits In the city f Washington Mr. Hill making an ad ditional argument In opposition to the bill. It went over without action. When Mr. Turpiu" began his third days' argument against the Nicara guan canal bill, Illumining the subject with scintillations of bitter sarcasms. There was no similarity, he said, but a dissimilarity iwtweoui the lUiitlsli government buying the control of the Suez canal and the United States buy ing tlie control of the Nicaragua yanal. The llrst was' a case of "bird In the hand," the second a ense of "bird In the bush." If the proposition made In the pending bill were made to the Brit ish parliament, the reply, lie said, would be: "You have no right ,to make the transfer. That Is forbidden by the terms of your own contract. Do you think we are going to give you a hun dred million dollars for a corpse and then have to bury it at our own ex penwj?" When Mr. Turple closed his speech nn effort was made by Mr. Mor gan, Alabama, In charge of the bill, to have a day and hour llxed for taking vote, but objection was made both by Mr. Turple and Mr. Vilas, of Wisconsin. Ths senate at 4.20 adjourned until to morrow. YOST-TUCKER CONTEST SETTLED. After 12G members of the house of representatives, Including 5" Republi cans had, voted, In accordance with the recommendation of the majority of the committee on elections, No. 3, Mr. Tucker, (Democrat), was entitled to re tain his seat as n member of the fi4th congress from the tenth Indiana dis trict, which was contested by Yost (Re publican), two hours were spent in making the vote effective, and llnally settling the mutter. The case had been discussed from noon until 4.30 o'clock, the committee recommendation being supported by Messrs. Dearmond, Mis souri; Walker, Massachusetts, Tucker (the contestee), and McCall, Massa chusetts, chairman of the committee reporting thecase. The recommendation of the minority that Mr. Yost, (who is the representative-elect from the dis trict in the filith congress) be given the seat was advocated by Messrs. Grow, Pennsylvania; Taylor, Ohio; Lacey, Iowa; Hrumni, Pennsylvania; Thorp, Virginia; Wnlker, Virginia, the latter of whom with Mr. Thomas, Michigan, constituted the' minority of the elec tion committee,' The vote In favor of Yost was 120 (Mr. Thomas having changed his vote in order to liiovo a reconsideration) and this closeness Induced the friends of the minority, 'led by Mr. Hepburn, Iowa and by Mr. Thomas, to make a parlia mentary light lasting two hours to force an adjournment In the hope that n different result might be reached to morrow. But their efforts were futile and the resolution declaring Tucker en titled to the seat was adopted at C.20 o'clock by a vote of 119 to 47, fourteen members being present and not voting. The result was clinched by the adoption of the usual formal motion to reconsid er the vote and to lay that motion on the table, and the house then adjourn ed, r CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR UNION. Preparations for the Rig Convention to lie Held in Sim 1'rnncUco. Hnrrlsburg, Pa., Jan. 21. Tills af ternoon a meeting of the executive com mittee of the state Christian Endeavor T'nlon was held In one of the parlors of the Commonwealth Hotel. Rev. Dr. Allan 11. Phllputt, of Philadelphia, a president of the union, presided. The arrangements for the transportation of the states representatives to the big San Francisco international conven tion next July, nnd the program for tho state convention at Easton in Septem ber were discussed. Rev. Mr. Stonesifer headed the 1897 convention committee present from Easton and enlightened the members of the executive commit tee on the work nlready accomplished by the Euston endeavorers for a suc cessful convention.

IRON AND STEEL TRADE. The Outlook ns Viewed hy the Ameri ca n .Manufacturer. Pittsburg Pa., Jan. 21. Tho American Manufacturer, in Its edition tomorrow, will say concerning the outlook in the Iron and steel trade: Our reports of the Iron and steel mar ket nt various points this week show the trade to bo dull nnd featureless. There seems to be a continuation of the waiting policy. The eastern market re ports dullness, but negotiations are now under way for a large amount of business which Is expected to be closed within tho next two weeks. At Phila delphia more of tho common crude of pis Iron is now being sold tlinn for a long time. Chicago leports very little general Improvement, but the under tone Is better. The unsettled condition of the bessemor Bteul market Beetns to have a bad effect on all lines. In the western market foundry Irons are weaker, and some quite low figures on bar Iron have been mentioned. At Cin cinnati pig Iron ifrlccs arc lower nnd bars very dull. One New York report states that there Is considerable business pending In southern Iron for shipment. Louis ville states that the large southern concerns arc being materially bellied by tho export demand. MEDAL OP HONOR AWARDED. Michael Dougherty Rewarded for Distinguished Calliuitry. Washington, Jan. 21.

WITCHES IN OHIO. Denizens of n German Hamlet Suffering from a Peculiar DiscaseThcy Ascrlbs It to Witchcraft. Toledo, Ohio, Jan. 21. Richfield Cen ter, a little village in this county, sev enteen tulles south of hero, Is In tho midst of a genuine witchcraft scare. The little community is composed prin cipally of Uormnns, and they are thor oughly convinced that they are being made the victims of some witch or other agent of the Satanic Majesty. There are seventeen families afflicted with the peculiar malady. Thu thing has been going on for nearly a month, and some thirty persons arc on tho verge of death. The peculiar malady seizes a whole family at n time from the youngest to the oldest. They cannot sleep or rest at night nnd keep pining away until they become mere skeletons. The sym toms In all the cases are similar. Sev eral of those alllicted claim that they are being constantly pursued by black cats, which make faces and snarl at them. Some of them nlso claim that certain rooms in their houses are in fested with this strange evil spirit, while other rooms nie free from Its inlluence. A. M, Miller came to tho city and re ported the matter last night. He Is a victim of the strange disease and had to be carried to and from tho carriage which conveyed him, owing to weak ness. His wife and four sons are down with the dlseuse and are likely to die. Richfield Center Is located ten miles from a railroad station. .Mr. Miller says that the people firmly believe the whole thing Is the work of some witch whom they ennnot locate. Some of the cattle, horses, sheep, and swine are victims of tho disease. Some of the people hnve burned their feather beds and resorted to thelranclent meth ods In hope of getting rid of the spell, but they claim they cannot shake It off. Physicians cannot diagnose the tho malady, but assure the patients that It Is due to natural causes, pos sibly resulting from an unsanitary con dition of the village. MEETING OF FIREMEN. Delegates from Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Vork, New Jersey, Indiana and Illinois Alect at Cleveland. Cleveland, O., Jan. 21. Delegates from Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Indiana and Illinois, met this morning to discuss questions per taining to the welfare of the Brother hood of Locomotive Firemen. Dele gates from one hundred lodges to the number of five hundred were present. Secret work took up all the forenoon. The llrst thing taken up In the afternoon was the question of amalgamation. A delegate said: "It is proposed to amalgamate the firemen, engineers, conductors, railway trainmen and railway telegraphers into one organization, the whole to be char tered by tho American Federation of Labor. This proposition will bring out a bitter light. The southern and a great many northern men are opposed to this plan. In the first place we do not think the engineers will come with us. In the second, we would lose our Identity In a degree by alllllating with the Federation and such a course would abrogate the color line which Is now sharply drawn, "On the southern roads there are many negro firemen. They are work ing for less wages than a white man re ceives. The southern members are bit terly opposed to their recognition. Un der the Federation we would have to recognize them, for most of them be long to some organization which Is rep resented In the Federation. 1 believe the amalgamation plan will go down on those grounds." DELAWARE SENATORIAL WAR. Candidates Addieks und Kenucy Will Transfer the Tight to Washington. Washington, Jan. 21. The struggle for the senatorial seat from the statu of Delaware will soon be transferred to Washington. This afternoon J. Ed ward Addleks, who claims n title to the seat, reached Washington, carrying his credentials and on the same train came R. R. Kenney, with a certificate signed by the governor. .Meanwhile the claim of Dupont for a rehearing is being con sidered by the committee on privileges and elections. Mr. Addleks held a long conference with Senator Chandler, act ing chairman of tho elections commit tee, and Mr. Kenney was closeted fot some time with Senator Gray, of Dela ware, who was the chairman of this committee under tho Democratic ad ministration of thu senate. The manifesto Issued by the mem bers of the bolting leguslature of Dela ware, signed by the residing olilcers of the two bodies appears In. the shape of a petition asking congress to luvestigato the recent elections In Delaware, Chicago Live Stock.

New York, .Inn. 21.- The tendency ot tho stuck ninikut was toward u lower range of prices again today. Considering tho sharp break In some of the specialties and other unfavorable developments, however, the lending shares held comparatively steady, tho net losses for tho dny In such stocks as thu Grangers, Chtcagu Gas, Su gar and Louisville and Nashville showing losses of only U to per cent. The dull ness and absence of outside orders oper ated against any Improvement In prices, The sensational Incident ot the day was a break of lUffo In Hocking Valley Pre ferred nnd of S'-iU In the common. The de cline was started by an effort to market a small amount of stock. In tho absence of supporting orders tho benrs found It nn easy matter to bring about the silb-ie-qucnt sharp fall, especially as a rumor wns circulated thnt a receivership for the property was imminent. Vlco lVosIdolit Davis subsequently denied tho rumor, nnd the common rallied 3 points. The com pany, In common with the other bitumi nous coal carriers, has suffered from the Ilerco war that has been waited between them for a long time. Speculation closed steady In tone, nt a rully in the general list of fe to 'i per cent, from the lowest of the day. Total sales 153,250 shares.
