This is the third time it has paused tire Senate, but lot!i times Is-forc it whh largely defeated in the Home and little can le expected for it from that quarter this time. It looks as though the measure was Lrsinj popu larity the more its provisions are discttss i1 and understood.

The New York Ix-jrislature is likely to follow the lead of Pennsylvania in the assage of a law providing that the pau (er insane shall be maintained in the State asylums instead of in the the coun ty almshouse. A bill of this kind has lieen introduced in the Assembly, having teen drawn by the State Charities Aid Association. It provides that the coun ties to which insane paupers are credited shall pay f 1.50 er week for the board of each, the lutlance of the expense to lie liorne by the State. U. S, SENATok Qt ay, who for sonic time past lias Urn one of the most outspoken Blaine men in the Slate, when asked his opinion nlsitit Xilaine's letter, said : 'Oh, I take it Blaine is out of the race, lie couldn't afford to lie a candidate af ter that letter. If. under the ciicustan-.i-s he were nominated and accepted the nomination, he would lie defeated. It would lie disastrous to him. The icoplc mild not stand it ; they would not he trifled with. If Blaine were to take the nomination, tin-re would Is- noend to the caricature that would Ik- (rotten out. They would he worse than any that ap fieared in ls.sj. No, I think Blaine is iuf entirelv." Daviii Boss Imke, better known to the American public under the uin dt fJtiuu of "Petroleum V. Nasby," died at liis home in Toledo, Ohio, Welnesday, in the fifty-fifth year of his fo. For a icr:od of over thirty years Mr. lxx-kc had Ikh prominently liefore the public as a writer, an editor ami a lecturer, and dur ing all that time there Were but fen journalists in this country more wide'y or favorably known. At the time of his death Mr. Iockc was the editor and pro prietor of the Toledo IHmlf, one of the most widely circulated and influential journals in the West. Mr. Boutwcll once said, "the I'nion was saved by the army, the navy, and the Nasby letters." He was probably the me4 iuoted man in the count rv. .Va. Blaise's letter, declaring that his name will not be presented to tie lie publieau National Convention, has excit vl the political world more than any one thing lias done for years. Thisannounce luent, although auticiKited by some of Mr. Blaine's close. U lends, caused many rxprassiousof regret, as it was lielieved Ir a large numlier of Ue)blicaiis that lie mas the strongest and ii.oat available candidate that could have beeti uomi nated. lu.leed this formal declination is not received in many quarter and the fKilicy ofoffering him a sKintanoous nom iuatioo in the hojiethat he would change liw 4trptiHe and aovpt the proffered honor is heiug discussed. But such ideas may as well le dismuvel The withdrawal of Mr. Blaine is voluntary and deliberate and it must be held to te final. In thus quitting tlw Jield, aad leaving his friends free to choo iAlu candiihites, he has taken a step that can not wv J I lie rctrsM-ed. The contingency if a (aitare to nominate in the convention is so fat from likely to arise that it niay as well be left out of view, lib nomina tion, under such circumstances, would lie the humiliation of ail other candidates, ud a coufession that the party was in w(xablc of the union necessary to uccess. Tlie Iu-jmblicau arty, uioreover, is suf fering; from no such lack of material as to be driven to the necessity of forcing the nomiuatiun in an unwilling candidate. With Mr. Blaine out of tlie list of candi dates a new organization will probably take place in the party at once and it is impossible to foretell who the coming nan st ill 1 hut, fortunately for the Be imblieau lrty, it is not without men rtrong ldurc the count ry and eminently fit for the Pneaidvncy. With such an ar ray of names to choose from as Sherman, Harrison, Ureshaui, Allison, Lincoln, Iliscock, Ifc-jiew, Cameron, Hawley, Con kling, Xluriuu and Shtridut there need lie no danger that the arty will iuA. st left for its standard-Is irer one ho w ill be worthy of iu best efforts and w ho wiB command success. Trrii much may be safelyararmed as to the rfnblican temper in relation to the Presidential nomination: It di'sires man who is always IJepublican, who is for jtrotection to American industry, who is f.ir a free vote and s fair count in all the States, and w ho w ill use all the means at his command to enforce it ; who will be as bold In demanding reparation for wrongs inilicted by Great Britain upon American fishermen as for those inflated upon a malodorous American tramp by the feebler government of Mexico; who will not bully weak nations and cringe before strong ones; who will not profess devotion to civil- sen-ice reform and use the servii-e for the cxtremest ends of fac tion. Of such men the Republican par ty has plenty ; the qualities possessed by thero arc necessities of party existence, are inherent to the party creed ; but the question of availability is also to be con sidered. The nominee must have no list of lavorites to reward, no list of enemies to punish. He roust have offended none by hauteur, have disgusted none by sub servience. He must command the re spect of capital and the confidenc of la bor. He must represent in his person that which the Republican party repre sents n its organization rwted belief in tlie equality of all men before the law, earnest desire and effort toward condi tions in w hich every man shall be uhU to do the best for himself, according to the meaire of bin natural ability : main tenance of the political and commercial independence of this United States; and he must do this w ith acceptance to all, with hostility or envy from none. Th.-se qualities are esseutial to a suc cessful candidate; the jwrty is looking for the man in whom they are most no tably united ; when it has found such a one it will uominate and elect hitn. For the Republican party is more numerous to-day than ever before. But nuiuljcrs alone do not make strength ; it is num-ls-rs in unity of purpose that conquer. The ItonocraU are not now in (tower lie cause there are more I K-mocrats than Re publicans, but liecause there was IKmiio cnitic unity and Republican division in 1S4. The nominee of IMS must com mand the united support of the Republi can party. To the attainment of this ob ject all personal preferences una all otlier w is laudable ambitions mast give way. The manly and candid letter of Mr. Blaine glows like a beacon of self abne gation ; its light will illume the proceed ings of the convention. J,r-"rii. PRESS COMMENT. Philadelphia Pro": Don't fool with the Phil Sheridan b Kim. It is loaded. C'juncil liiu.Ts Xmiitirr'J ( ilep.): The party will be similar with Allison as its leader in the content thin with Blaine or Coukling. Boston Trmrlrr ( K p ): We prefer to be lieve that Mr. lilaine has considered the whole matter, has made his final division, and nn'Hic- just what he says. Brooklyn Miadnrd (Ib-p.): Mr. Blaine's unselfish patrioti-m has relieved the leaders from ail embarrassment in the matter of muking up delegations to the National Re publican Convention. Philadelphia 'nvwif: General Sheridan's mother says ' Little Phil" was burn in Ohio. Her word will stand ; and she did honor to Ohio when she brought so great a Buckeye into the breathing world. Brrtoklvn Rvilr ilVm.): The Republican cry of" Protection " will lose its fon unless the Ik-mocrats raise the counter cry of" Free Trade." It is evident tiiat the Democrats can not be induced to do this. Cedar liapids (Iowa) OaztJtr (Rep): Wher ever ,the feeling of the eople has been tested during the past year Robert Lincoln has fol lowed Mr. lilaine very closely and in some places eren led him as a Presidential prefer ence. , Locfcport Journal: Phil Sheridan turned the tide of battle at Winchester and sent the Icmocratic Confederates once more to the rear. He could do it again. What is the matter with "Little Phil" hcin;:the Republi can candidate for President? St. Louis ll'i-r jiemiirrnl : It makes little difference what States General Sherdian was born in, since his fame was won by liL-litintt to establish the theory that it is National and nut .Slate citizenship that is most inqiurtaiit and valuable. Philadelphia JSrfrd (Item.): If the Grand old Party call muster the moral courage to put such a man as Judc Greshaiu on its ticket for I'resitlent it may go before tlie country unabashed. Judge Greshaiu would be a hard mail to defeat. K.'h-stT Urr.ilH : It is interesting to luar a journal like theCbUago JfcrM calling John Sherman "that audacious hypisrite." It shows that even a mugwump organ has eiHi(:h brains in its make up to develop a imsk-rate cae of intellectual gaiigniie. New York llnrnhl : After N'ivemler next quite a number of prominent American xil iticians who have nursed Presidential booiu lets will take to the woods, to the dense, deep, dark woods, where, as the Irishman said, "the band of man bath never set foot." Cleveland ljtniln (Rep.): The Democratic party has never develojssl any such man. When in power, it has tilled the otlices from President down with inferior and incapable men. Thercf jre the Democrats are unable to understand or appreciutc Mr. Blaine's lc tcr. Xew York .Sun (Dent.): The withdrawal is creditable to Mr. Blaine. It shows that he possesses an elevation of ambition and a pa triotic devotion to his party Which forbid him to subject it to the risk of defeat for the mere purjsweofa personal gratification for himself. St. Louis CM Iitmorrot : There are no Innper any stalwart or half-breed factions in the Republican ranks. The next Presiden tial candidate of the RepuNican arty will recciw the earnest and efteetive uport of both R'asnx-Coiikling and James (J. Blaine, and of all their follower. Brooklyn Timn (Rep ): Mr. hlajn d,MV not ulxliute lie can not abdicate tlie pjixiuu be holds as leader of the Republican party. Whomsoever the candiilate may be, the in fluence of Mr. Blaine's great wroiiali'y can not be ignored, and in any Republican Cabi net his voice must needs be potential. Philadelphia AVm (Rep.): Now, neither tlie Iieniocratic nor the Republican candi date's name U so clearly to be seen in the ulitical sky. The Republican candidate, w hoover he may le. will surely be man a lio can win, and if a free-trade Ifc'mocral he nominated, a IU.-publicau will he surely clucUsl. t'BiUSeiJ f'o: Julge Walter Q. Oreshaiu ofjudiaAia, who was one of Presi dent Arthur's u-osl trvA i Cabinet advisers, i looming up as a PresidevitiaJ .candidate in the West, home mbasistjc fcicuds of JudL-cirelim say thai lijs decisioe wthen W abash case would alone almost insure bis election. Chicago J.mrDul : Adricn from Indiana are to the etfect that the State dch-gation will he feir Hon. Iienjamin II. Harrison for Pres ident. Mr. Harrison is a very strong man, and is stronger than Judge Gresliam with the politicians in Indiana, but Judge tin-sham has a stronger pull whit the people in In. liana and ail over the country. St. Paul I'kuutr Vest ; As the net result of yielding to party and distributing the spoils, the President sees the certainty of a unanimous re-nomination turned into a ruiwdly increasing probability uf defeat. Tlie moral may come too late for him. It oiurbt to be treasured by every man and every arty would not only win Kiwer, but retain it. Chambcrsburg Itrjuitoiy t M r. Blaine was almost certain of receiving the nomination, but now that he has positively declined to be a candidate the arty must determine, well ami wisely and quickly njwn a man who can lead it to victory next November. We believe thfre b no wan in the country who can fill this biil better tlian Hon. J. Donald Cameron. onr distinguished Senator. N. V. Tr3int : Tlicre is the best reason fijr beliering that no apprehension of the re sult this year has prompted Mr. Bbunc's withdrawal. The simple truth is that he lias at no time felt willing to be a candidate again, and desired to make that known so early that the Irty Hi!d select with due delilicration a candidate uiion whom it could heartily unite, and whose election would be a rictory in the best and highest sense. New York Fmt : Mr. Childs has declined with a declination that declines. And now for his residuary lecatee the Pirn hereby nominates Colonel Alexander K. MeClurc, another great Philadelphia journalist. The Colonel is coy : in fact, he has already de clined an offer of a promising Presi.lential boom more thsn once; but. unlike Mr. (liilds, lie would' not, if elected, decline to be inaugurated. M lure and any body would be a lively ticket, about as appropriate fir one party as for the other. New York Tr&ue : If Mr. Blaine really wants the nomination, is insincere in his letter and has planned a great political stroke after the manner of Mr Tilden, what encour agement does the Democratic statesman's fate in 1S0 offer? Did the nomination go to Mr. Tilden after he bad written his letter of declination? He received thirty-eight votes in the first ballot, six in the second and one in the last. There was no spontaneous movement in his favor. The Democratic delegates voted for General Hancock with one accord. The great ilitk-al coup, if it were intended to be one. was a complete fiasco. Why should Mr. Blaine if he really desired the nomination, have been inspired by that fiasco to repeat Mr. Tildeu s tactic The failure of a plot is not ordinarily con sidered a good omen for its successful relcti-tion." Can Cleveland be Beaten In Con vention? Wtihi,fjjm IHxUrk Ui '.he B'rffm Jtmrnnl. Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, has the reputation of licing a sagacious politician. He maintains that there is a probability that Cleveland may fail to receive the nomination, and puts it in this way : "Two hundred and sixty-eight votes will prevent a nomination. U-t us start with New York, Virginia and Pennsylvania. I, think Hill will get a ma jority of the New York delegates, and under their State rule this delegation w ill act as a unit. Tlie unit rule also prevails in Vir ginia, which will carry the entire vote away from Cleveland. Tlie unit rule d.x-s not prevail iu Pennsylvania, but Randall will cany one-half of the delegation. To tabu late the situation 1 give the following figures as my estimate of the Randall-Hill or anti Cleveland strength: New York, 72; Vir ginia, 24; Pennsylvania, 40 ; New Kngland, 35 ; Western States, 30 ; Pacific States, 1 ; New Jenn y, 12; West Virginia. 12; North Carolina, IS ; Tennessee. 2" ; Louisiana, 16 : Alabam. 10 ; Tex is, 4 ; total, 2!s, or 3o more than will be sufficient to defeat Cleveland's renomination. The sentiment is existing, and all that is nircssary is to crystalize and organize it. If the anti-Cleveland jieople have the pluck to make the fight Cleveland will never be the nominee. Mr. Childs Positive. Philadelphia, Pa February Pi. The Public Ledger of Friday will say editorially : It oiuiht not to lie necessary for Mr. George W. Childs or for the Public Ledger to say another word concerning the connection of bis name with the nomination for the presi dency : Y'et it apis-ars to be indisinsaole. It is embarrassing to add refusal to denial, and then to le obliged to reiterate both with emphasis. The feeling which prompts such use of his name is too generous. The ex pressions of g'Hxl will show too kindly a dis position on the part of those who make them to get for an answer a curt and cremptory "No!" yet it is incumbent upon him that he shall say what is equally decisive, viz: That under no circumstances can he or will he permit the use of bis name as a nominee for the presidency or for any other iolitical office. The reason w hich makes this additional refusal inevitable is brought alsmt by the publication in the Baltimore American of yesterday, a journal that stands among the foremost in tlie country in character and in fluent, referring to Child's repeated objec tions to being brought forward as a candi date or ot lieing considered for the nomina tion in any way. The American says : "We can state, however, from the very best au thority that his mind has undergone a change, and that should a cordial tender of the nomination lie made he would not de cline it. When this fact is well known the recent movement iu Pel may vania iu his fa vor will quickly multiply its enthusiasm.'' It is m-ccssary to say it courteously, but de cisively that the American is wholly misin formed. Mr Childs has not changed his mind ill tlie least degree and it is not possi ble that he w ill change his ujind iu that re gard. As to declining and refusing to lie a I . .. r ; . . 1 : 1 :.. 1 T caiii;oaie lor proiucm ins nono is urn, win unalterable. It is awkward to decline what is not authoritively offered, but so far as it is i' contemplation by any iiersou, few or many, organized or unorganized, to put Mr. Childs in nomination for the .residency of tin; Cuited States, he relsjts bin refusal to be a candidate or to be voted for. and that he would lie compelled to dn-line the office, honorable and exalttd as it is, if by any chaiK-e in the chapter of utiforseen events he should happen to he elected. Petroleum V. Nasby Dead. Tolkiki, Feb. IS David R. Lu ke, better knowi to the world as " Petroleum V. Nasl.y," died here this morning, aged ."4 years. He had beell suffering fir months ith Pright's disease and bis death has beau exjiected for sometime. Mr. Locke's chief reputation rests on his authorship of the celebrated Nasby letters, kited "Confederit X Roads, State uv Ken tucky," although these form but a small portion of bis literary work. He was bom iu New York State, learned the printer's trade and drifted to Ohio, w here he founded several weekly fiajtep before and during the war. It was one of these, in March, lvll. that be begau the publication of the Nasby JeVers. which made a great sensation. Pn-si-deut Ciucoln was greatly attracted by them and every public speaker in the North bor rowed expressions from tbctn. They were soon considered a powerful factor for the In ion cause. Locke raised a coniiany for the war in Ohio, but blunt old Governor Brough refused to commission him as cap tian, saying that his pen was more valuable than his sword. It 115 he liecamc eidtor and later propri etor of the Toledo Bladt, the weekly edition of which attained an enormous circulation. Some years ago he visited Kune and wrote some Nasby letters on the home rule ues tion, but these were mil as popular as his political letters. Aside from these be worts a numlier of novels, plays poems. Some of his religious hymns are quite celebrated. In Is.sl be became a total abstainer, and has sivee been a strong Prohibitionist. His father a Auterau of the War of 1S12, is still living, ijear this .city, at the age of ninety four years. The Fisheries Treaty. Washisgtox, February 11. The fisheries treaty, which was signed last evening, was the subject of much speculation and discus sion at the Capitol to-day. While declining to give any secific information as to its pro visions. Secretary Bayard to-night said to an Associated press rejiorter that for many years tlie great contention among American fishermen bad been for a fair and just con struction of the treaty of ISIS and that the present treaty I tad been framed by the American negotiators with a view to meet the needs and necessities of our fishermen, and be believed that if the treaty is ratified that end will have been accomplished. From a trustworthy source it is learned that to our fUherincii are secured all the commercial privileges tr which they have been contending, w ith the exception of the right to purchase bait in Canada waters, which is expressly withheld. The Dlair Bill Passed. . Wasiiixoto.v Feii. Hi. After the usual rcutinc to-day the Senate resumed conshicr ation of the Blair educational bill, and was dressed at some length by Mr. Hale in op position. A paper contributed by a consitutkmal lawyer, on the constitutional objections to the bill, was read by Mr. Morgan. , ' Mr. Sagisbury said that the riew which he bail expressed on fonner occasions against the bill remain uncliangcd, excel that they were strengthened by reflection.

' Gallant Phil an American. Wasiiitk.tos, 1. ('., Feb. Pi The interes ting story about Oiin. Phil Sheridan's Iri.-h nativity which this time comes fiom an alle ged cousin in Milwaukee, has appeared i:i Washington so often in various form that it is growing monotonous. The General him self has denied it several times. His broth er denied it on its apciir.ince last year, ami to-night it is authoritively denied again. Its origin is hardly known, but its recurrence has ls"eii regular for almost every year since Sheridan came, into prominence. Whitelaw Rcid, in his book on "Ohio in the War," makes note of the f.u t that Massachusetts is sruuptiiucs claimed a his birthplace, and the paragraph iu which Ire disjKises of that story is sent as applicable for the present ro mance of his birth in Ireland. It reads: " Philip II. Sheridan was boru on the titli of March. ls;;i, in the village of Somerset, Perry, County Ohio, scarcely more than a dozen miles from the next county seat west ward where eleven years earlier William Te euineh Sherman first saw the light. Sheri dan's parents were recent emigrants from county Cavan, in the North of Ireland." I'nderncath is an explanatory foot note saving : " It lias been widely believed that Sheri dan was bom iu Maac!iusctts, a few moths before the removal of his parents to Ohio. Tiic statement has been made in sev eral biographies of the trvnerul, audit is confirmed by the army register. Tlie account in the text, however, is given in the author ity of Sheridan himself, who probably has authentic information concerning the event. Gen. Grosvener, who represents the dis trict in which Somerset is situated, said this evening that be has denied the story fre quently before, both from bis own personal knowledge of Sheridan' boyhood and the authority of .-lleri'jau's mother. " I saw her last summer," said lie, " and had a long talk with her and at that time I referred to the rumors uf her sou's Iriah parentage. She told uil' that such storiv; 4 ere a mistake and that he bad been born in Souielset, O., just a he himself had often stated." Gen. Sheridan was at the capitol to-day and spent a few moments on the !l.r of the House. Many of tlie Republicans shook hands with him, and pari of Hit time be wa the centre of the crowd, who gave him a verv heart v welcome. -s. Nearly Two Millions. Nttr Youk, Feb. Is. The news that the great Reading strike was to end to-day was received with inii'h satisfaction here. Opinions were divided, however, as to w hich side bad gained the victory. The friends of the conyany claim it to be a complete back down on tlie part of the men. Tlie other side claim that the comjany has surrendered and point to the fact that Mr. L'orbin was willing to arbitrate now. though all along he hail declared there was nothing to urbitriite. It is also prophe-iud that the company will have to pay higlicr wages than it was willing to pay previous to tlie strike. What the strike cost furnishes no end of speculation. A close calculation, however, places the loss to the men as follows: R1ilro.1I hands, $KI2, (tO; miners. Sl.fWl.'KH; total, 1, 872.0 .. Tlie loss to the comoatiy could not be ascer tained, but it is estimated that it will aggre gate many times tbo amount lost by the men. I'HiLAiiLLruiA. Feb. 1$. Every body seem ed in good humor at the Reading railpmd headquarters to-day w hen a n'prescntativeof tbe I'nited Press called there. Mr. Mcla-od said that there was nothing new, and the company has not changed its attitude in any resjiect. In answer to tlie question as to whether the company could git suflieicnt help to transiort the coal by the return of miners to work, the gentleman said that the company could transport the coal turned out 110 matter how large the production. " Will the Congressional committee investi gation have any effect npon the standing of the company ? " " No. You must remember now that you are talking about tbe new Reading, with no ilebts. and money enough iu bank to pay her fixed charges tor another j year, should she not earn a cent in the mean 4ime." In speaking of liie striking rail rood employees Mr. McLa said the settlement of the miners strike has qothu,g to do with the railroad strikers. , They cau have no in fluence with the miners. The strike is ended and there is a general feeling of peace and quiet that is absolutely refreshing. Tlicre seems to be a unanimous r.joieing in the mining districts over the settlement and the outhsjk for both sides is very encouraging. Virginia Confederate Pension Bill Passed. RicHMoxp, Feb. in. Tlie Virginia House ot lielcgales thiseveniug unanimously pafs ed a bill allowing a I .elision of &io perunnurn to Confederate soldiers from this Slate who were )eriiiaiieut!y disabled by wounds re ceived during the late war. It also allows the same amount yearly to the widows of Virginia soldiers who lost their lives in the Confederate service. ' Cen. Simon Cameron Talks Politics as Interestingly as Ever. Hauktskl-bc, Feb. Is. General Simon Cameron left lor Florida to-day, and w ill re turn to this city in time to celebrate the an niversary of his 89th birthday. Before de parting be stated he wa surprised at Blaine s refusal to be a candidate for the Presidency, although be had information looking to such a movemnnt. Being asked whether his son had Presidential aspirations, he said : " I haven't talked to my son recently, hot I do know that lie lias no desire to be President anyhow, not at this time. Later iu life he may change his mind, bat it is not safe to say he has no intention of being a candidate at present. My son was for Blaine, or, in other worda, the State of Pennsylvania was for him und Don is for the State. Mr. Blaine might not ba thought JAro was for him, but I know he was." - At the mention of Conkling's name. Gen eral Cameron showed a kindly f.sling for Blaiue's bitter enemy. " Conkling is a great roan indeed," said he. " He is the brightest man I ever saw, far more able than Blaine, and without a superior in the country. No one dare question his integrity or his hones ty. He is tbe sort of man who would not give up right to be President I tbiuk he ac quired a fortune since he forsook politics for law. He didn't make anything while Sena tor, and he lost liis law practice. A man shouldn't be a politician unless he has plen ty of money. Poliths without money har asses a man and prevents him from doing justice to the people. He enjoys life more 011 the path he now pursues, but I would like to sec him hack in the active ranks of Republicanism. We have few men like him. I A in' 1 think he will return to public life again." The General declared himself in favor of one Presidential term, but the trouble was j the friends of the President make him he- i heve bis re-election 1 esseutial to tlie na tion's welfare and he consents to become a candidate again. General Cameron says Andrew Carnegie informed him of Blaine's intention, not to be a candidate for President. He told Car negie that he did nut know Blaine as well as he (Cameron) did, but now that Blaine had pot off the trick he would be obliged to write the great iron merchant a letter of aiology. Delusions of a Maine Family. Bostox, Feb. Vi. The family of Thomas Stevens, of West Gardiner, Me., are just now affording considerable interest to the com munity. Mr. Steven's family consists of himself, wife and two daughters, one of fourteen und the other of twelve. In the early part of the winter the father ami mother liecaine tbe victims of the delusion that a lot of monkeys infested the neighbor hood. S'Xin the two young girls professed to see the same images that the parents did As time passed the delusion grew more fixed. Monkeys were all about them. Koch one took turns in watching for them at night armed with double-barreled guns, kettles of hot water, pitchforks, etc. Their fancies led them to believe that there was a small mon key that came down the chimney at night and let in bis fellows. They threatened to burn their neighbors' buildings for harbor ing these animals, and they appealed to the Selectmen and also to Marshal Norton, of Gardiner, to protect them from the pests. Physicians pronounced the fathcrand moth er insane, though on other subjects they ap peared rational. The children were brought before Judge Larralwe, who ordered them sent to the Industrial S:hool at Hollowell. The father and mother were earned to the Insane Hospital. A Boy Kills. His Father. CisciXNATi, Feb. 17. James Taylor, a lad seventeen years old, was put in the Coving ton, Ky., jail last night with bis mother by direction of the coroner, charged with the murder of the boy's father at Independence on Monday last. The story, is develiqivd by the coroner, is that Ionising Taylor, the dead man and his wife were engaged in a fight in the presence of this boy and two elder sons. The woman says she called on her sons for assistance, but only 'this boy responded. He seized a gun and struck his father with it. Tfic gun was dischargsl and Lansing Taylor was killed. The boy says be did not know the gun was loaded. The family lived in the most abject wretchedness anil ap-ar to be but little above the brute in intelligence . Lansing Taylor was said to lie slightly in sane. Great Destitution Among the Miners. SiiCTASno.tii, Pa... Feb. IS. The destitu tion among the families of the miners that is being developed here is terrible and such that it cannot longer lie hidden. One family named Fogel was found to day to have actu ally lieen without ftsnl for two days, and the children were so weak from fasting that when relief came it had to be sparingly given to avoid killing them. There were nine iu the family. Another family of six, named Burns, was in the same-state, nnd one named Jolnsnn was almost ns bad. They are but instances that have many parallels. It has been established that mist of the contribu tions intended for the miners has been obsotlss by the railroaders, who have been living in clover w hile their allies starve. The Michigan Election. Detroit, Mich., Feb. IS. The vote of the Eleventh Csmgressioiial District is all repor ted except Munilou County, which consists entirely of islands in Lake Michigan. It will be several weeks liefore t is reported but the county is solidly Democratic, and its major ity will be about one hundred. The changes made by the completion of the returns are all in favor of Seymour, the Republican can didate. Seymour's plurality in seventeen counties is 320, and these figures will scarce ly vary from the official count. The Mani toti County vote w ill leave hitn a plurality of about 42o. Epidemic In Brooklyn. Brooklyn, Feb. 17. The icoplcof Brook lyn nre in no small degree alarmed over the that every day proves more convulsively fact that the city of cbun-lies may be on the verge of a smallpox epidemic. For some weeks cases have bwn daily rcjiorted, and since July 1, the numlier has reached l:W. They are not on lined to any one locality. In nearly every part of the city cases have lieen of the milder form, but tbe wide area over which they have spread leaves no por tion of the town free front inpending dan ger. The cheap lodging houses are being insiected a:id fumigated. Jay Gould's Case Before the Grand Jury. Xaw Y'obk, Feb. 17.

Eloped With a Horse Jookey, Kaksas Cirr. Mo., Pen. 17. An elopement in high life, with an unusually pleasant do noument. came to light hers last evening, the parties being Miss Mary Morris, daugh ter of the Rev. Dr. John C.

WIND SCATTERS DEATH. Illinois Town Wiped Out by a Tornado and Fire. An Evaxsviua Isn., Feb. 10. A special from ML Vernon, 111-, states that a cyclone struck that city about 4:35 r. M. to-day. The storm came from the uorthwert and sweeping around its half circle, razed the town, level ing half of it and setting fire to ' the remain der. High above the fierce wind could be beard tbe crackling of Barnes and tbe groans of the dying: Te Western I'nion office was destroyed and all the wires broken except one leading to this city. Assistance was tel egraphed for to Evansvillo and a special train with fire engines and reels, also a num ber of physicians, was immediately sent to the rescue. The entire town of Ml. Vermin is practically destroy ed. Tlie latest reports from the scene of the trouble state that so far 49 bodies have been taken from the ruins. It is estimated that 230 people are injured. Owing to the absence of telegraphic facilities it is iniiossible at this hour to obtain the names of any of the killed and wounded. Relief trains will be sent from this city and St. Louis as soon as possible. Tbe same storm is reported as de vastating portions of the State of Kentucky, near Norlonvilie, but no particulars are at hand. Before tbe tornado began it had been thun during and raining fur some time, w hen sud denly a low rambling noise was heard. A black, dense cloud that seemed to touch the earth swept over the city and it became very dark. Hundreds of houses were wrecked and people were crushed in the ruins. The south and east parts of tbe square are completely destroyed. The large building known as the Crow's block was demolished. Tlie Metho dist Kpisoqial Church is almost a mass of ruins. The Baptist Church is also a wreck. The public school building is razed fo the ground. COfttSE OF THE TOKXADO. The town is about two miles long, east and west, and the course of the tornado took in aliout two-thirds of the east end, the wes tern portion of the town escaping. The bus iness part of the town is completely ruined. Tbe place lisiks as an earthquake had visited it. The county court house is one of the most complete wrecks. As I write tbe fire is dying out utter a stubborn conflict to extinguish it. All of the largest and best buildings seem to have suffered most. The Commercial ho tel is completely mined, but none of the guests were injured. A!f tliE.V 'OK THE DtMXOE. The damage to property is variously esti mated at from S-VXWK to s?1,00i,im. It is not known what damage has Ihvii sustained iu the country. East Main street, for a quarter of a mile, has hardly n house left standing, and as near as can be ascertained, this is the case all over the city from near the centre to the East End. Funeral of Petroleum V. Nasby. Toleiio, O., Feb. 17. The funeral of the late D. R. Locke took place this afternoon at his late residence. The religious exercises were conducted by Rev. Robert Met 'line, Congregational minister, of 1 ronton, a devo ted friend'of Mr. Locke of thirty-five years' standing and at one time an editorial writer on the Jlfade. Following this was an ad dress by ex-Gov. James M. Ashley, of New York, once Congressman from the district, and a close friend of the deceased. The Ma sonic order then took charge of the ceremo nies, which were conducted according to the beautiful ritual of the order. The body was placed in the vault of Wuodluwn cemetery. An enormous throng of citizens was in at tendance, including a large number of noted persons from other places, among whom was ex-Preiident Haves. Three Death Warrants Signed. Harbisbi:bi!, Eeb. 17. Governor Beaver to-day issued three death warrants. They call for tht) execution of Alam Volkvovitch of Luzerne county, ou April 3 ; Luther Shaf fer of Clinton county, on April 4, and David Vincent of Philadelphia, on April 5. The Board of Pardons will probably be asked to hear applications for executive clemency in the cases at the March meeting. Shaffer's defense will be that John W. John son, who was recently convicted for partici pation in the murder of Isaiah Colby and wife, planned the crime nnd tired the shots which killed the couple, and that he, Shaffer was an innocent spectator, drawn to the stene by the deception of Johnson. Ohio Cets a Shaking Up. Chicago, Feb. 10. An Akron (0.) special says : A remarkable phenomenon manifested itself near here early yesterday morning. People in the vicinity of the trouble were thrown out of bed and windows and ceilings crumbled, while the earth rocked, the con vulsions being preceded by terrific rcjxirts a of an explosion. A great fissure in the earth is the only sign of the strange occurrence. People Hew from their houses and the great est excitement prevailed, while many in this city got up and inquired the cause of the houses swaying. Aggressive Kentucky Republicans. Fbaxkfobt, Ky., Feb.
