That is a big off.T, but Myers couldn't
keep the promise if be made it. He
must talk, and just now lie has the most
interesting subject tiiat has been brought
tip in Ohio since the same Senatorship
was sold si years g. Mr. Myers knew
something alwuit that sale, and it is only
fair to a-vuine that'he is not entirely ig
norant of bis subject now.
Pokkhat will have no reason to
complain of the action ef the sub-committee
or tho House Committee on Klec
tions in arranging the order in which
the contested election cases are to come
up. It lias been settled that Republicans
and Ik'mocrats shall select cases or that
kind alternately for consideration until
hey are all dispose of. In the regular
order w hich has been made out for these
cases the West Virginia contest or Smith
ts. Jackson is expelled to come op first,
and the date lixed for its consideration is
Januarv 7.
Or owhse! Who ex peeled otherwise?
Nobody who knows the IVmocraey.
Tbe Contest Committee of tbe West Vir
ginia Legislature has reported in favor of
Fleming, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, on tet hnical:"grounds. That
nettle it. All the IVmocratic majority
in the Legislature w ill require is a report
in fcvor or their candidate. It matters
little what the grounds for tbe report
may lie, or w hether it has any founda
tion at all. The report will go through
without a bitch save such obstruction as
determined and courageous minority
will he able to offer, and in dne time
Fleming w ill I inducted into the offiee
to which he was not elected. And not a
IVmocrat will raise his voice against the
outrape. In tbe interest of party, tbe
best of tbem are dumb. HarriMmrg TeL-
TitE Montana imbroglio has become so
dangerous and offensive that the citizens
are elbowing the politicians out of the
way and are making imperative demands
for a speedy organir.tion of the State
Legislature and its speedy passage to the
transaction of purely local business. It
is of infinitely less importance to the
lople of the new Slate as to who shall
tie elected Seaators than as to w hat pro
vision shall be made for executing tbe
laws of the State and as to what those
laws shall be. The business of the State
is delayed, its credit impaired, its peace
threatened by the protracted and fac
tious conduct of the disharmonious Leg
islature. The Helens Herald in a very dispas
sionate manner calls upon tbe Democrats
in both houses to do tbe one thing that
can be done with credit to themselves
and to their party to unite in joint ses
sion with the Republicans a quorum be
ing formed without participation of any
meml-er of either hsute whose seat is
contested, and after organization 1 pro
ceed to regular business, leaving to the
election committees of each hoase to in
vestigate the validity of claims present d
to them by tbe contestants. This, cer
tainly, is the practical method of settling
the claims of various persons to seats in
either house. The present attitude of
the Ik'tuocrats is revolutionary. The
Republicans cannot aflbr I to trust them
too confidingly, even ir they make good
promises. Men who will encourage
fraud at the ballot-box will not be gov
erned by any high sense af honor in a
IcgiMstive body. I"x-Govcrnor Houser

of the Molly Magui reorganisation wrritc
to a local paper and says the lei of F. B.

statement, the e railroad jrriditi did not
commit suicide, but was luunWred by Lia

an ex Mo3ie. who looked much like th

Although th abort communication to a

well kaown that a number of Mollis Ma

who were sentenced to imprisonment have

Mr. Gowen had several doubles and there

mistaken for him. Add to this the fact that
thers whs no known reason why Gowen
should commit suicide, and the story gains
iu plausibility.
Petrolla In Ashes.
Bctlib, Pa.. December 22 The business
portion of l'etrolia is in ashes. A fire broke
out at 3 o'clock in the morning in Klingen
smith's grocery Were when a strong wind
was prevailing, and burned along both sides
of Main. Arpyle and Fainriew streets, de
stroying practically all of tlie business hous
es and many residences. The fire pines were
filled with mud and no water could be bad.
I'ndcr such hopeless circumstances little or
no eftort was made to fight the flames, which
swept over tbe little oil town with frightful
elocity. It was all tbe sleeping inhabitants
oould do to get out with their lives and
wearing aprel. Nothing of value was
saved from the burned district. Fortunately
uo loss of life is reported and no one was se
riously hurt. It is impossible to put any
thing like an accurate estimate on the total
loss, but it will range between $S5,0o0 and
$100,000.
The thickly settled portion of the town on
the north ide of Main street between Argyle
street and the offices of the Vniled Pipe
Line, including the latter, and on the south
side from the bank, which is still standing,
to Fairview street, is destroyed, as well as
the buildines on Fairview street as fctr south
as tbe Presbyterian Church and north on
Aryle street to the street lesding to the
cemetery. About 40 buildings were destroy
ed, The loss to the me chants is very heavy.
They saved neittier buildings nor slock
and it is believed that in most instances
there wss very little if any insurance on
either, as the buildings were generally frame
and tbe insurance rate was so high as to be
almost prohibitory. Petro'.ia has been
scourged several times with fir snd flood,
but this is th roost .disastrous visitation in
IU history. Its present population is TOO.
Bold Texas Train Robbers.
Temtle, Tex.. Dec 20. The westbound
passenger train on the San Angelo branch of
tbe Santa Fe was held up this morning early
at Bangs' s station, 132 miles west of this
city. While the train was standing at tbe
station the train guard, Al Wolf, was stand
ing on the ground, when he saw four men
coming toward him. He thought they were
passengers until they were close by, when
they drew their pistols and ordered him to
throw up his bauds. They then struck him
and knocked him down. He attempted to
cross tbe track but when on the platform
they knocked hitu against athe door of tbe
coach.
The noise attracted the attention of Brake
man 8. T. Penn, who, upon stepping to the
platform, snatched tbe guard's pistol and
fired into the gang of robbers. The robbers
returned the tire, shooting Penn three times
in the body, mortally wounding bim. After
tbe shooting the robbers compelled the guard
to uncouple the express car from the next
coach and ordered the engineer to run ahead
to a point distant, where the express car was
robbed. Only about $42 was obtained by the
robbers.
No arrests have yet been made, but it is
believed the robbers will soon be overtaken,
as pursuit was started immediately with
bloodhounds, and it is scarcely possible for
them to get away far. The bru tenia n died
al Goldthwatte, whither be waa lakes at G
o'clock this morning.
Influenza In the West.
Detroit, Mica., Dec. 16. The U issisn in
fluenza has reached Detroit, and curiously
enough'-ouironly bank employes are atHictte
This is attributed, however, to the report
that microbes travel in paper money, and
when the contagious paper has been freely
circulated in the city it is expected the dis
ease will become .epidemic. At the Penin
sular Bank nine of the employes were sick
at one time. In the Preston National there
are four casss. The entire staff of the First
National has ,it, and there are two cases in
the Merchants and Manufacturers' Bank
Tbe symptoms are different in nearly every
case. In some it produces "an all gone, tired
feeling." as one expressed it, while in others
the lining of the nose, mouth and throat is
affected ; still others have a cough. Lame'
ness is one of the general points in which it
shows up strong.
Ueulis. Dec 1G. Prof. Leyden, lecturing
on influenza, dwelt upon the necessity of re
moving tbe anxiety and fears of patients of
the harmless milady, which seems to be
causing the disappearance of more dangerous
diseases, such as typhoid fever.
Terrorized a Town.
Sr. Loria, December 20. Excitement ran
very high in .the little town ol Cullinsville,
111., a few miles from this city, last night.
Deinpsy Baroo, a toug'i character living near
by, became intoxicated and undertook to
clean out the town. Between ft and 9 a'clock
be rode up and down Main street, firing his
revolver in all directions as ha went and t!e
fyiog any one to arrest him. Wesley Braver,
engineer at Jung's flouring mills, who was
standing quietly on the corner of the stnet,
was struck by one of the shots, the ball tak
ing effect in his knee, snd making a very
ugly wound. Armed posses were suon form
ed to arrest him, but, altboiiKh several shots
were fired at Banco from Winchester rifles,
shotguns, Ac., and his horse shot from under
him, be msnaged to escape. The citizens
and officers are making a vigorous search for
him. It is generally believed that Bareo is
badly wounded. A short time before reach
ing town Baroo had a fuss with one Baiser
Heineman, whom he shot and seriously
wounded.
Later info-roution savs that Heineuian is
dead, and that Barco has not yet been capt
ured. .
A Frightful Seen.
8a Fsasiisco, Dec 19. One of tbe most
shocking suicides ever known in this city
occurred this morning. Milo Ballabosich, a
Slavonian who bad been suffering frjra gri
ping in the abdomen, became insane from
pain, and while in that condition cut out bis
intestines. Early this morning his room
mate was awakened, and standing on the
floor was Ballabosich with a horrible gash
ia his abdomen and tbe blood streaming on
the floor. His room-mate notified the offi
cers and on their return they found Balla
bosich standing in tbe middle of tbe room in
a lake of blood tearing out his vitais snd
cutting them up in se-tions and throwing
them on the floor. The officers overpower
ed him snd took him to s receiving hospital.
When be was brought info the hospital
three or four feet of his bloody vitals drag
ged on the' floor. Tins physician trimmed
ff the obtrudiag intestines snd did what be
could do to relieve the Srer, bat he died
is s short tme. .
Victims of Jaaious Rsge.
Niliw.0., Dec, Th authorities late
this slternoon furred an entrance into the
residence of Chsrles .Shaler. suspicion having
tx-en aroused liecause none t.f I he members
of the fasiily had been feen since last night
snd because llie biinds on the windows re
mained c!wl throunlxntt (lie day. It was
a horrible tight that greeted the persons who
broke open theOoor. Lying in a pool of
hlood on the fl.wr of the front room was' the
body of a little giil, ber throat cnt from ear
to ear. In an adjoining apartment lay a 7-year-old
child, butchered in the same man
ner. But tbe climax to the scene of borror was
reached ia the bed juuuw- There, lying at
tbe foot of the bed, was Mrs. Shaler and by
Ler side was her lnuband. Both were cold
in death and the blood from gsping wounds
in their necks soaked through tbe
clothes and mattress and wss trickling on
the floor, while directly in thepsthoftbe
jed stream that had run along the floor lay
little baby and Iu life's blood mingled with
the crimson fluid thst had poured from its
psrents' wounds.
BOW THE PEE WAS DOVE.
On tbe floor, by the bedside, as If dropped
from tbe husband's hand, lay a rasor dot
ted with blood snd it was evident that the
horrible butcheries had been committed with
his irstnimeot. In each case the throat
had been cut from ear to tar, the same as a
hog is butchered.
There were no matksof struggles in tbe
bouse, and it wss evident that the father
hsd early this morning taken two of his
children from their beds, cut their throats
before they could utter a sound, then going
into his bedroom hsd done the same with
bis wife and baby and lastly had drawn the
cold, keen steel across bisowa throat and,
dropping on tbe bed besidea his wife, died
ss the heart ceased beating in the woman he
bad sworn to love and protect.
F.ver since the discovery of the crime a
solid mass of humanity has been packed
around the bouse, and the police have with
the utmost dillktilty kept persons from
crowding into the dwelling.
JEALOt'ST PBoBABLT TUt CAISE.
A number of theones have been advanced
for the crime, but the most plausible, seems
te be that the deed resulted from jealousy.
It is known that Shaler has of late charged
bis wife with infiJelity, and his excuse for
being intoxicated several times within the
past year has been that family troubles
made liim desperate. The general opinion
is that his charges were without foundation.
The murderer and suicide was 3j years
old, and held a prominent position in a roll
ing mill here. His eldest child wasaged";
the youngest 2.
The Cronin Jury-Brlblng Cass.
Chicago, Dec 21. The work of preparing
for the prosecution of the Cronin jury -bribing
case bss been already bop tin in the State
Attorney's office. Said one of the principal
attorneys for the prosecution: "Every duy
that passes adds to the strength of the infor
mation in our hands and the case may be
the most sensational of this whole gigantic
conspiracy."
" A statement of all that transpired in the
jury-room will be prepared in a day or two,"
said Juror Bontecou this morning, " aud
then the public will know just what oc
curred." " Will the s'atement be signed by tbe
twelve jurymen?"
' By eleven, not twelve. One of the jury
men, I won't say who, is now engaged in
getting expressions from the rest of the ju
rors regarding a statement to the public.
Tie statement will speak for itself, and will
be a long one, because nothing will be left
out."
Mr. Ttontecou gave some interesting rere-ini-icences
of the nearly three months of jury
S7rvice. " Tbe bailiffs kept pretty close to
us all the time," he said, "but things hap
pened that should not have happened. For
instance, T was allowed to go home to see
my wife several times. On one of these oc
casions a prominent man a very prominent
man managed to get close enough to me to
say without the bailiff hearing it : "Now, do
your duty and bang every one of them."
On another oetasion another friend of one
of the jurors who got close enoegb said to
him : ' If you don't hang them all, we'll give
it to yon.' Now, of course, we onght not to
have heard that. It didn't influence us one
wsy or another, but it gave us an idea of
the feeling outside."
A Hospital on Fire.
Nkw York, Dec. 21. At 8 o'clock this
evening three alarms were sent out for a fire
it. tbe Presbyterian Hospital, Fourth avenue
and Seventy-flrst street.
The fire started on the fifth and top floor
of the hospital. The patients were removed
from the building in safety, and at 10 o'clock
the fire was under control.
Duringits progress a'wall on the Madison
avenue side of the building' fell and four
firemen were caught in tbe debris and badly
burned and braised.
There were eighty patients in the hospital.
They were naturally much alarmed, but the
nurses succeeded in keeping order. The po
lice also allowed civilians to enter the build
ing and aid in the work of rescue. There
were many exciting scenes. The sick were
carried out in mattresses and taken across
the street to another building belonging to
the hospital. Some were also taken into
private houses in the vicinity, and some into
the several club houses in the neighborhood
all of which threw open their doors. The
last patient was taken out of the upper story
just before the wall and ceiling fell, by which
the foui firemen were injured.
The fire was confined to the uppr floor,
but the whole Interior of the building was
badly damaged by water. The damage will
probably reach $ino,(VK).
A Female Detective.
Batavia, N. Y., December PI. Mrs. Amy
A. Hodges, tbe young wife of a well known
fatmer, is an accomplished horsewoman.
and knows by sight most of the good hor
ses within a circuit of several miles and who
their owners are. Last June she saw a horse
belonging to Dr. MoPherson being driven
past her home by a stranger. She surmised
that the driver was a horsetl.ief.and mount
ing her bay, followed bim. At Stafford, five
miles away, she overtook the Hranger, and
seeing a codotable named De Wolf she told
bim of her supieion snd asked bim to ar
rest tbe man. De Wolf made theanvst.
The supervisors of Genesee county offer a
standing reward of KK far information
leading to the arrest and conviction of
horse thieves in that county. Mrs. Hodges
and Ie Wolf both claimed tbe reward, and
at a meeting of the supervisors on Saturday,
by a unanimous vote, dtcided in favor of
Mrs. Hodges.
A Boy's Diabolical Deed.
Wabasb. Ohio, Dec. 21.-William Mar-
qtiiss, the 10 year-old boy who was aire-ted
some time ago on suspicion of having
wrecked the Atlantic express train on the
Wabash railroad, bas made a confession in
which he says he wrecked the train because
the station agent at Kellars would ret give
him a ticket for a ride in exchange for his
pocket handkerchief.
When asked if be did not take into con
sideration the fact that he had placed to
many human Uvea in peril, he replied tl at
he never thought of the pa.scnneos. He
simply wanted to put the raihoal contrary
to some expense for its diFcourtesy. Mar
quiss is a very bright boy. snd bis condi c"
is only scsour.tad for through his titious
desire for revenge.

WA8HINCTON LETTER.

WAsHiBfcTos. I). C Decemlier 20. 1.
Tbe citise its of Washington have all things
ready for an old fashioned Christmas, ex
cel snow. The ouly s'now visible here ia
on tbe roof of cars; through trains as cov
ered witb snow several inches deep. Many
strangers are in tbe city, and the streets have
the tppeersoce of being captured by loyal
citizens from tbe Stales.
Tbe dtfalcation of Cashier Silcott has
caused a sensation, but it will not last long.
Congress will have tbe good sense to pass an
appropriation at once and secure tbe pay to
Congressmen who are entitled by law to it
Treasurer Host on bss already adopted s
system of stamping checks, in use in his
Bank is Indiana, and says frankly thst every
precaution against fraud not been used
heretofore. Tbe Government, as wall as in
dividuals, must learn and profit by experi
ence. Strict laws will be passed, and there
will be no mora stealing ef tbat kind. Mr.
Silcott is a Democrat, and I hear tbat he
shouted long and loud. In Ohio this fall, "to
turn tbe rascals out." It is fair to suppose
tbat he was consistent enough to practice
what be preached.
Tbe President's Message wss well received
here by all parties, especially because be
takes a stand for National aid for Educa
tion ; such assistance is greatly needed here.
In 18841, 12,000 .scholars were restricted to
one-half day attendance in the Public
Schools for want of rooms in which they
could be instructed, aud in 139,G,000 schol
ars bsve been restricted to one half day's at
tendance each day. The high school for
colored children is also over crowded, and
more room is wanted, so all parties endorse
tbe President's firm stand to render National
assistance to tbe cause of education.
The newspajiers of this city are interest
ing; the Democratic party is well represent
ed, aud its interests carefully guarded ; but
tbe same cannot be said of Republican
papers. They do not do full justice to Re
publican principles, and they are not ag
gressive Can't you send some "Frosty Son
of Thunder" (s printer) down here to show
thc-m how to mauage a Republican paper?
The Washington Pott (Independent in poli
tics) is more widely read by Republicans
than any other paper. Frank Hatton, ex
Assistant Postmaster General, is one of the
proprietors, and a glance at the paper is
sufficient to prove that he bring to the work
the usual amount of western energy and
pluck. Many people accept the Smulag Post
as their gospel on the. Sabbath day, Mr. T.
0. Hatinum, well-known in Somerset, ia a
reporter on the i'utt and I am told tbe best
one. He does the political reporting, and is
welcomed by all.
Adjutant General Kelton, of the Regular
Army, in his annual reKirt to the Secretary
of War, suggests many ways of improving
the efficiency of the Army. With a R gular
Army of 25,000 men, desertions amount to
over 2.000 a year. I have read with much
interest many comment? on the subject and
am fully fotirtil that tbe beat, easiest, snd
most patriotic way to improve the efficiency
of the Uegu'ur Army in every way, is to
promptly put a stop to recruiting in large
cities. There are entirely too many foreign
ers in our Regular Army ; they have little or
no pride in our country aiid.uftener enlist to
get west then desert.
If recruiting officers would go to county
towns, and enlist true young Americans,
men wbo have principle and imtriotism, tbe
trouble alioutdeserting would be at an end,
and the Army improved.

School Children In Flames.
l'ETBOIT, M ten., Dec. 19. A shocking ac
cident occurred at the Tilden public school
early this evening while some sixteen girls
were rehearsing a Christmas cantata, which
was to be performed to morrow. ' The cos
tumes of the girls were made of light gauxe
snd trimmed with cotton batting. One of
the performers bad s wand, with which she
accidentally struck a candle, igniting the
wand. The flsiues were communicated to
the children's clothing, and all were bunied
more or less. Five who were enveloped in
flames ran into tbe street, where some work
men rolled tbem in the mud and extinguish
ed the flames. Jennie Lancashire was burn
ed to death, however, and the other four
seriously, hut not fatally injured. The fire,
which in the matitime bad communicated
to the fl sir of the srhool-hoase, was extin
guished without difficulty.
An Unfortunate Singer.
Baltimore. December 10. Ex-"MinUter
McLane left to day for New '.York, whence
he will sail for Paris on Saturday. While
abroad be proposes to assist a young Balti
more singer who has been very nn fortunate.
The lady is Mis Alice Godefroy, and she was
formerly a pupil in vocal mu-ic at the
Academy of Noire Dame, at Uovsnstown
Here she showed such unusual talent tbat
she was brought to Baltimore. She bas
been in Paris for several years, and became
emiuently successful, owing to ber beautiful
voice and the additional attraction of being
young and pretty.
Miss (iodefroy's health failed recently, and
owing to her continued illnes, she was com
pelled to relinquish her concert engagements
and her pupils, the only means of support
for both herself and an aunt who accomaii-
icd her to Psris. Miss Godrfroy is destitute.
Death In a Blaze of Dynamite.
Tovs Rivxr. N. J.. Dec 21. The mixing
bouse in the United Slates Dynamite Com
pany's woiks, about two miles north of here,
was destroyed by fire this morning. Wil
liam Tom peon was burned lo death and
Robert Mudkiff so seriously burned tbat bis
recovery is doubtful.
The building was'a mere shell, and con
tained several hundred pounds of dynamite,
w hich bunied instead of exploding. Thomp
son was taken from the ruins burned to a
crisp, his brains being exposed. Madkiff
was found outside tbe building near the
door, where he probably fell while trying lo
escape. His face and arms are frightfully
burned. Both men nside in Toms River
and have families.
Tbe cause of the fire is nol known, but it
is supposed tbat in mixing dynamite the
mixture caught fire and, flashing iusteid of
ei ploding, set fire to tbe bnilding. The loss
to the company will not exceed ll.WiO.
