The War at Washington. The Parliamentary struggle in the House at Washington, during the past few days, has attracted the attention of the entire nation. It began with a motion made In- Representative Dalzell, last Wednesday, to take up one of the West Virginia con tested election cases. The Republicans have a majority in the House and there fore a quorum to do business, in them selves. but a few of their number were absent, and the Democrats noticing this refused to answer to their names when the roll was called, though sitting in their seats, thus blocking all business. But Speaker Reed had the names of a few of the Democrats called again, and upon their again refusing to answer, he directed the clerk to enter their names on the journal as being present, and an nounced that there was a quorum present and that the business of the House would proceed. This brought about a tumult, the Democrats protested and threatened, the Speaker remained firm and decided, and for three days a war of words raged. On Saturday the Democrats gave up the fight, and the first contested election case was argued and on Monday a vote was taken and the Democrat was ousted and the Republican sworn in. Some of the absent Republicans had re turned and the vote stood 106 to 0, the Democrats refusing to vote. On Tuesday there was more filibustering on the part of the minority and but little was done, though it was understood that the committee on rules would meet that night and agree upon a set of rules that would put it out of the power of the minor ity to block all business by dilatory mo tions and refusing to answer. On Wednesday the new rules were completed and presented to the Republi can caucus and by it adopted. They give the Speaker the power to disregard dilato ry motions, and count members in their seats as being present whether they answer or not. These rules will probably come np for consideration, in the House to-day. TnE Spaulding Iron Works at Brilliant near Stubcnville, were closed last Thurs day. Bad management was the cause. A QAHG of scamps in Xew York bought three banks, turned the securities into cash, and were getting ready to decamp when arrested. THE steamer Bothnia, containing Miss Bisland, arrived at Xew York last Thurs day, five days after Miss Cochrane's arriv al in the city. GEORGIA has a boy preacher thirteen years old. lie will be that age f.. the next forty years. INDIANA has five healthy sets of triplets. The people are evidently preparing for the new census of Indiana. Miss BLY is getting lots of proposals for marriage from dudes. But she was smart enough to buy a monkey on her route home. IT is currently reported that Postmaster General Wanamaker has a strong desire to succeed Don Cameron in the United States Senate. IT is a significant fact that nearly all the ehnrches have entered on an epoch of creed making. Such periods are rare in the history of the church. One was the century following the conversion of the Roman Empire, another was the Informa tion. Each of these periods was a re ligious revolution which c hanged the whole character of Christianity. The West Virginia Steal. Those who have been indulging the hope that at least two or three righteous Democrats would be found iu the West Virginia Legislature, and that the man who was chosen Governor by the people would be awarded the office, have been djomed to disappointment. There is scarcely room to doubt that Fsrd and Merrill went down to Charleston with strong inclina tions to vote for Gen. Goff, and that they wouid have done so had they been left to the promptings of their consciences and the freedom of their own wills. This view is strengthened by the conduct of Harr, in raising the cry of bribery. It is apparent that this was only a ruse to gain time aud bring the recalcitrant Democrats to terms. As soon as the kickers were "fixed" the bribery issue was abandoned. It had served its purpose, aud the committee re ported that the charges were not sustain ed, thus entirely exonerating all the Re publicans alleged to have been implicated in the attempted bribery. On the question being takeu in the joint assembly, there was a solid Democratic vote in favor of Fleming and against Goff. The President of the Senate, Mr. Carr,who has been figuring as a Labor Republican, voted with the Democrats in pursuance of an agreement, it is said, by which he is to be the Democratic Labor candidate lor Congress in the Third district. The villainy has been successfully con summated, but the day of reckoning is not very far distunt. The people can be relied on to right these outrages sooner or later, aud in this particular case the retri bution is not likely to be-, long delayed.— Pittsburg Com-Gasette. TIIK secret county convention, in Cum bria county, that elected Delaniater dele gates wan not in (tension over twenty niin utes and as soon as the delegates were el ected the President announced "there be ing no further business tlio convention stands adjourned." No call had been pub lished and not one Republican in twenty in the county knew of the convention. But the scheme has proven to be a most vicious boomerang and has aroused deep indignation in the minds of all fair Repub licans and Air. Delumater has lost standing in the party. If he expects to secure his nomination by such disreputable prac tices, he manifests a deplorable ignorance of the sort of stuff the average Republican is made of. —Indiana Mtuscnycr. THE Centennial of the establishment of the U. S. Supreme Court, was celebrated in- New York City, where the Court held it's first sessions, this week. A WRITBB in the London Tout - uttrib Utes the origin of the grip to the floods which a year or so ago devastated China, and subsiding left hundreds of thousands human bodies ucburicd, causing at the timo a local epidemic similar to ihc grip. The theory is far-fetched, but decidedly agreeable. Dead or alive the Chinese arc bound to get here. NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. The County Controller of Allegheny CO. estimates the receipts of the connty for IS9O at $833,000, and the expenses at sl,- 155,000. leaving $322,000 to be raised by taxation, pins SIOO,OOO dae the managers of the workhouse. Alfred Ilardwick. an Englishman, who for several years ran a woolen mill at Kennerdeli, Scrubgras town ship, recently eloped with a young woman of that township and is believed to have returned to his old home in England. He left a wife and several children in a des titute, condition at Kennerdeli. Before leaving Hardwick gathered together all the funds he could and took everything that he owned with him. On Friday last the Oliver Iron and Steel Co. of Pittsburg paid $103.000. the last of their million and a half indebtedness. In January of ISSS the firm was forced to al low some of their notes to go to protest, but their creditors gave them five years and they came out all right. A member of the firm said: ••We have been most fortu nate in having a strong market most of the years since 1885. and with the advantages of a protective tariff, have not only been able to free ourselves from debt, but also to frequently advance the wages of our employee. We are naturally very glad that the debt has been cleared ofT, and hope that the present era of prosperity has come to stay." B. W. Bredin. Esq., of Franklin, Pa., is seriouslv ill. Major Lightcap of Kittanning. formerly of Freeport, died last week. Mr. B. C. MoXutt of near Parker and Miss Dade Parker, eloped to Jamestown. X'. Y. last Sunday night. Carlisle, this state, is a paradise for tramps, and out of one hundred and twen ty tramps in the jail there sixty-one of them were found to be stout, able-bodied fellows who could work if the}' were put to work. Why don't the Carlisle authori ties fix up their streets with a chain gang of these burly tramps? But doesn't it look a little strange to see one hundred and twenty tramps in one jail—and men, at that? It was only a few years ago that the members of the Legislature from Cum berland succeeded in passing a tramp law which it was thought would do away with the boarding and lodging of a horde of of tramps in the county jail. Either there is some ddfect in the law or it is disregard ed. Xo wonder the sheriff of Cumber land county can draw thousands of dollars every year from the treasury for boarding and lodging inmates of his county hotel. A lot of big, lazy loafers do not want a softer thing than a life of ease in Carlisle jail. And, come to think of it, the sheriff has a soft snap, too. A Sharon butcher was badly taken iu by buying a wagon load of calves lrom a She nango township farmer. The latter tied them in the bottom of the wagon so as to hide a lot of convenient sized stones amongt them. The whole cargo was weighed and the stones thrown out on the slaughter house, then the weight of the wagon was deducted, minus stones. Lat er developments led the mtcher to believe he had been tricked out of at least fifty lbs. of veal. A Lancaster county Judge a few days ago sentenced a young fellow to pay a fine of fifty dollars, costs of prosecutiion and undergo an imprisonment of of 40 days ia the county jail for giving a boy a drink of whiskey on an excursion twin one day last summer. There is a warning in this sentence that should suggest a better em ployment than putting the bottle to his neighbor's lips. The murder of Grover McCausland will cost Greene county upward of SIO,OOO. The trial of Jim Xeff, who was acquitted by a Washington county jury, cost (ireene county $2,791.92. The trial of the Clarks will no doubt swell the cost to at least the first named amount. The murder of Her man Umberger, lias cost Somerset county $2500,54. It will take SIOO,OOO to put the famous stone bridge at Johnstown in the condition it was before the flood. At Bellcfonte, Pa., Tuesday, Andrews was convicted of murder in the first de gree, for the murder of Clara I'rice, whom he followed the woods, assaulted, outrag ed and murdered. The only sensation of the trial was the evidence of Sheriff Cooko who testified that shortly after the incar ceration of Andrews he was taken sudden ly ill and sent for him. He went to his cell and found the prisoner in a broken condition, lie said, "Sheriff, you would n't like to hang me, would vouf" "Why, no," replied the Sheri fF. "Well, my God," replied Andrews, "you will have to, for I was the only man that followed Clara I'rice down to where la wns murdered, and there is nothing under the heavens that can save me." A Penn Twp. Wedding. One of the greatest social events that has taken place in liutler Co. for some time was the wedding of Mr. Harry LI. Bricker of Jefferson twp. and Miss Mary K. Graham of Penn township, at the home of the bride's parents, on Thursday, Jan. 30, at eleven o'clock. After the guests had gathered into the parlor, a wedding march was played upon the organ by Mrs. A. L. Graham when the bride and groom marched in. accompanied by Mr. Howard Graham and Mi.s Barbara Henninger. Then cere._ouy was performed by the Uev. K. Ogden of Glade Mills. After congratulations were extended to the happy young couple came the best ol all an elegant dinner, in which all ■ took a very active part. When dinner was over they left fur the depot amid bountiful showers of wheat and well wishes of all those prcsjnt, not only on their wedding tour but all through life. The presents were grand and numerous. A reception was tendered them by Miss I.die at her home oil North Ave., Alleghe ny, on Thursday evening.
