IVt. 3.-The republicao The election in Atlanta, Georgia, resulted ; members uf tlie House of Rerreiita in the defeat of Prohibition by about one j lives held their first caucus of the session thousand majority. In the last election, two j Ihtsafiernoon. Of the republican rejiresenu vmts am. the ProhibitionisU carried the ! tion of 153 memliers. 117 were in attendance. eonntv br SJ. and the " Antis " the city by leaving 2W majority lor the Prohibition ist. Tliti was reverseil saturaay oy me " Antis" carryins the county by SOU and the city 1 WX). The "Antis" carried every one of the six precinct in tlie city and all but one of the sixteen in the county. For a month the citizens hod been engaged in the contest. Meetings were held almost every night, and local speakers ana foreign statesmen stumped the county from almost every curbstone in the city and every cross road in tke county. Early in the campaign the Prohibitionists leased tlie largest ware house in the city and fitted it up with a seat ing caiac!!y for eight tbonsand people. Al most nightly that building was filled, and such wenes uf wild enthusiasm was enacted a have been rarely witnessed. Among the prominent Prohibition speak ers who plunged into the fight early in the campaign were Cnited-Statee-Sciiator A. H. Colquitt and Hon. H. W. Grady. They were assisted by nearly all the ministers in the city, who preached Prohibition from their pulpits Sunday after Sunday to deeply interested congregations. The most pnvmi neut leaders of the "Antis" were Senator Joseph E. Brown, Captain E. P. Howell, and Captain John B. Goodwin. B.itli sides had full campaign funds and managed their re iinive causes for all they were worth. The negro vote was the bone of contention, and was the balance of power. Each side made the mt strenuous endeavors in every way possible to secure it. The negroes were con siderably divided on the subject, though a majority of them voted with the Anti-Prohibitionists. One of the features of the contest was the active part taken by many women of the city, Several ofthechurch congregations or- ganinsl committees from among their female members, who took an active part in the cauiiaign. These organized tbe women of the colored churches into societies and met with them and prayed with them day after lay. The result of their work was shown Saturday by the apiearanceof large numbers of women at thelsills with blue badges. They served hot rotTee and sandwiches at every pilling plat? and conducted praycr- incctings and singing crusades iu the oH-n air. The principal fight made oh Prohibition luring the campaign was that it did not pro hibit, and that intoxicating drinks could be iieiily purchased in a number of pla.vs throughout (he city which paid taxes to the Cnited Stalls" verument for the sale of wliikv. The result, showing public opinion ou the suhject, is accepted with good humor by the Prohibitionists, but they do not prosse to J giv up the fight. j A Fire's Quick Work. Ciscisxati, O., lec. 2. At 1:30 this morn ing a general alarm was sounded and called the entire fire department to the Strobridge Lithographing company's great building, on the northeast corner of Elm and Canal. The flames devoured the entire building, and in less than forty minutes the walls 6-11 in. The building was a fine structure, live storii in height, and fronting over a hun dred feet on the north side of the canal. It was tilled with costly machinery, including tiftien lithographic presses. Its stis-k of p'iper and of finished and partly finished work was very large, estimated to be worth 5; I .io,0O0. Most of the winter work of tbe atrical companies was finished, but a large portion was still in the building, and a num ber of theatrical companies will be without material to proier!y bill their plays. The scene during the tire was startling. The height of the building, the combustibil ity of it? contents and the substantial style of its structure served to make tbe tire fierce and comparatively slow. It burned floor after floor, and the falling of the heavy lith ographic atone gave sounds like the discharge of a battery. Later the falling of the walls sent sheets of flame and showers of sparks high into the air. During this part of the catastrophe a fireman John Shuler, w ho was on a ladder thirty-five feet from the ground, missed his f siting and tell to the ground.

A Curious Transaction. New Yokk, lee. 2. A document recorded to-day in the Register's office transferred the custody ofacbild in the same manner that a piece of real estate changes hands. It was termed a deed, as are real estate conveyances and its legal vebiage was almost identical ! with that used in !apers transferring land. The tiauMtion was between Jane Cluing. Wing Ah Doc and Mrs, 4b Doc. The child is six years old, a hoy, whose name ts Arthur Chung Wing, and the transaction involves his custody until he is twenty-one years old. The child is one of four which have been born of the mother, who is a native of this j country, and who, in 174, wedded a Mongo lian cigar maker, who abandoned her and the chlblrtu jo IfH-l. The mother ban since supported herself and children and she now lives with her mother in this city. The foster parents are ftill-hl.HHled Celestials.

Increase In the Public Debt W tsHis.iToj, Dec. ii.-.Ihe public debt, ac- cniing to tlie statement of tbe Treasury Oe- latrtiuent, increased (1 ,4,sso in coruwsjuence of the unusually large pension pay menu, amounting to $1S.2S7,3S0, ajaiuat $12,500,000 in November 1N86. Xone of the four independent members elect were present. Uepresetutive J. O. Cannon, of Illinois, and Representative Lonis Mc Coruas. of Maryland, were respectively re elected to the positions which they held during the last Congress of chairman and secretary of the caucus. When these preliminaries bad been ar ruiiKed Representative' McKinley, of Ohio, n.miitmlod Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, for Siieakcr, and the nomination was confirmed bn acclamation. Mr. Reed made a brief speech, in which he counselled lrt harmony and predicted a republican victory in tbe next Presidential election. Nominations for the remaining officers of the next House weretben made as follows : Edninnd McPherson, of Pennsylvania, by Representative Bayne, Sir Clerk: Daniel 8hepard,of Illinois, by Adams, for Sergeant- at-Arras; W. T. Fitch, of Ohio, by Mr. Butterworth, for Doorkeeper; Charles H. tirey, of Dakota, by Mr. Nelson, for Post master, ami Francis W. Thomas, of Indiana, by Mr. Browne, for Chaplain. The nominations were agreed to without debate, except in the case of fi rey, nion whose nomination some little discussion arose as to the propriety of recognizing tbe Territories in the distribution of House offices. Mr. Thomas, who was nominated for Chaplain, is a minister of the Society of Friends and is well known in tbe West as tlie " (Quaker preacher." After a long discussion as to the advisabil ity of such action the caucus authorized the chairman to appoint a committee of eleven meinlwrs, to be known as the " caucus com mittee," and to be charged with the duty of calling the caucus together whenever it may be neccessary. Only an incidental mention was made of the tariff during the session 1 and no attempt was made to outline a policy to be followed by the republicans of the j House. ! the iikjks-batu t Ai;cr. Wasiiinutox, Dec 4. The Democratic members met in the hall of the House of Rcpnsx'iitniives to-day to nominate a Sjieak er. Representative Cox, of New York, called the caucus to order, and in a sjieech of con siderable length favored the re-election of Speaker Carlisle, who, on motion of Repre sentative Breckenridgc, of Kentucky, was nominated by acclamation, which compli ment Mr. Carlisle acknowledged in a pleas ant ieech.

They made mutual afsjlogies and shook bands be fore the caucus adjourned. The Bureau of Agriculture. Washington, D. C. Dec. I. The annual report of the Commissioner of Agriculture was laid before the President to-day. The Cotninissioner recommends substantially the alsilition of the seed division of Jhe Depart ment and the transfer of its duties to the State and Territorial experiment stations. The Directors of these institutions, be says, ought to know what kind of seed the farmers of tlieir respective neighborhoods are inter ested in and what kimls are best a.lnpted to locality. " If," lie says, " this work of test ing and distributing seed could he done by tlu stations, and the Department be relieved of this duty, it would euahleitto work in other directions of greater inijiortuuce to the agricultural interest of the country." The Commissioner discussca the scope and functions of the Department in a way which leaves room for the plain inference that he disappnives the efforts to make it an execu tive deiartment with a member of the Cabi net at its head. The Department's position, he thinks, should be that of an adviser in those investigations and enterprises which bear upon the agricultural interests of the conntry. The Commissioner says it is yet too early to make an official statement of the results in detail of the present year's experiments in the development of sorghum sugar manu facture; " but." he adds, " enough is known already, I think, to enable this country to anticipate, at an early day, the production of a sugar supply from a plant as easy of cnltivation as corn, but little circumscribed by climatic inUuences, and one whose by products have a value espial to the cost of raising. The w ork of the Bureau of Animal Indus try has been greatly extended during the past year. The (Joverncrs of thirty-one Stati-s and Territories have accepted the rules ant regulations ol the Bureau, and promised the assistance of lK-al siliceofB(m to secure their enforcement. In addition, the Legis latures of Rhode Island, Virginia, New York and Illinois have enacted laws providing for co-operation. The work of the Bureau has thus been carried on in all the States wnere pleoro-pnenmonia has been know to exist except Pennsylvania, tbe authorities of which found but few- infi-ctcd hprds,' and re(Hrted that these were promptly disposed of according to State luw. " There has not been a time in vears," the Commissioner writes, "when this malady has been confined to such restricted areas as at present, and consequently the conditions are very favorable for its complete eradica tion. If the Slate authorities shall continue tlieir co-oiemtion as at present, which there is every reaaon to exjiect, and if an appro priation shall be made by Congress etpial to that of the present fiscal year, and with no thurify for its similar use, it is believed that this dangerous plague can tie extreminated by the end of the tiext fiscal year."
