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. He was taken to the hospital
with injuries which may prove fatal.
The busiini is prolwhly tbe largest of its
kind in the word, one hundred and twenty
five men were employed. Mr. Hi lira Stro
bridge, president of the company, says be
thought the building was fire proof, and is
astonished that it should go as it did. The
best estimate that can be made of the total
loss isabout J.-HHI.OO0, on which the insurance
is $15o,l)0. in forty companies, but the loss
on business 'during tbe time of enforced
Htlcness cannot l?e accurately eatiraatea.
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. Mrs. Ah Doc being
one of the five Chinese women in this city.

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.

siderable length favored the re-election of

sentative Breckenridgc, of Kentucky, was
nominated by acclamation, which compli
ment Mr. Carlisle acknowledged in a pleas

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."
