Kentucky Democrats Expel Two Repub
lican Senators.
IT IS A WAR OF RETALIATION.
For the Republicans Have Ousted Kaufnnan,
a Democratic Member No Prospect That
a United States Senator Will be
Chosen at This Session.
FitANKFOitT, Ky Mnrch 19. March 11,
1800, will bo unenviably momorablo 111 tlio
history of Kontucky stnto politics. Blind
partisanship and bitter pusslon usurped
tho placo of oool judgment nnd sobor
thought. At times It looked o4 If thorn
might bo nn outbreak of vlolonco. Whon
It became known outsldo that tlio houso
bad uUsentod Kauffman, tho Democrat,
and that tho senata had unseated tho Ho
publlcans, Jiimos nud Walton, the aspect
looked so threatening that many of tho
groat crowd that thronged tho corridors
made a rush to got away. Thore was nn
unseemly rush for the joint assembly door,
which was guardod by a largo body of
armed men.
At ono timo tho cxploslvo point was al
most reached. That point would doubt
loss have been roachod If tho Republicans
had attempted to forco tho unseated sena
tors Into tho joint assembly meeting.
Kauffmau, tho Democrat unseated by the
houso, was already In the hall, and Sonu
tor James, ono of tho unseated senators,
EF.MATOIt BLACKnUKN.
got In by strategy. This loft ono unseated
Democrat nnd ono unseated Republican In
tho joint assombly hall. Tblsmado honors
about oven on that scoro, nnd tended to
promoto peace. There wero rovol vers wait
ing, silent but ready, at tho hall door, and
had anyono wanted troublo ho could hnvo
had it.
Within tho hall of tho joint assombly
matters wero made, to run moro smoothly
by tlio ruling of Speaker Worthing that
tlio clerk of each houso should call tho roll
for tho voto of tho houso. Onco under way
tho joint assombly proceeded to business
In truo parliamentary stylo. In calling
tho roll tho sonato's chief clork, In calling
tho names of tho membors of tho senato,
omitted to call thoso of .Tamos nnd Wal
ton, nnd tho clerk of tlio houso omitted to
call tho nnmo of Kauffmau. Tho Itcpulv
llcnns refused to vote at all, with tho ob
ject of breaking aquorum. Tlio ballot ro
sultod: Blackburn, 51; Cnrllslo, 10 Buck
nor, 1.
Tho choir decided that as only sixty-five
votes had been cast thero was no quorum,
nnd thoroforo no election. Upon motion
tho assembly adjourned at onco.
When It ndjournod ovory monibor of It
went out Into tho open air In n good
humor. Tho breaking of tho quorum In
dicates that this will ba tho stratogy of
both parties through tho fow days that re
main of this session, and that nolthor party
will olect n senator.
Through all tho cxcltomont Senator
Blackburn sat In tho senato cloak room
except for n fow minutes. This was whon
an altercation occurred botweon Bronston
and Wnlton. Thon ho started up nnd ox
claimed: "Lot mo got out." Ho was finally
restrained by his friends.
W. O. Duulnp, who on Tuosday after
noon withdrew from his contost of tho
teat of Ueprosontntlvo Kauffmau, roturnod
to Frankfort yostorday, and immediately
was besieged by tlio friends of tho Repub
lican senatorial nomlneo, who ondoavorcd
in vnln to lnduco him to withdraw his let
tor nddressoil to Mr. Blanford, speakor of
tho house, lu which ho abandoned tho con
test. Ho declares that, though declared
elected, ho will not tako his seat unless
forced to do so, and will not voto In any
ovont.

The sound of tlio explosion rovcrbernted
throughout the region to such an oxtont
that It aroused tho Inhabitants of tho en
tire volley. A flereo snow storm provontcd
peoplo from reaching tho spot. Tho tolo
gmph operator, togethor with William
Tulley, n surviving member Of tho crew,
got to work, and after hard labor rescued
the Injured from tho wreck. O'Donnell

Tho engine was completely wrecked, to

Efforts For the Project Quashed by the
School Board.
HEW HEATING SYSTEM ADOPTED
The Pock-Wllllainson System of Heating
and Ventilating to be Placed in
tho New Building and High
School Addition.
Tho School Board met in special session last
night to take action on matters bearing upon
tho erection of a new school building on
White street and an extension to the High
school building. Edwin It. Williams, who
was elected at tho last meeting to succeed
Charles Hooks as Director for Uio Third
ward, was in attendance. Tho other Direc
tors present wero Messrs. Ogdcn, Trezise,
JIanley, Lee, Edwards, Devitt, Morgan,
Smith, Conry, Hanna and Price.
Immediately after tlio opening of tho
meeting the representatives of two heating
and ventilating companies introduced them
selves and took turns in explaining tho
merits of their respective systems. About
half an hour was consumed in this way and
then tho Board settled down to business,
starting out with tlio reading of Director
Williams oath of ollieo and its approval by
tho meeting. President Ogdcn announced
that Mr. Williams would servo on all com
mittees on which vacancies had been created
by Mr. Hooks' resignation.
The committee on new buildings mado
its report and recommended that tho propo
sition of tho Peck-Williamson Ventilating
& Heating Company, of Cincinnati, Ohio, bo
accepted. Tlio company will put its system
in tho proposed new Wiiitc street building for
f 1,250 and lu tlio High school additiun for
fl,050. The recommendation wasadoptedand
tlio Board has notified Architect Davis to pre
pare his plans and specifications suitablo for
tho introduction of tho Peck-Williamson
system.
Tho adoption of tho system carries with it
tho introduction of what is known us the
Otis Mechanical Beguhitor. a now invention
which automatically controls tlio heating
and ventilating apparatus of each room in a
body. It is a U shaved thermometer so con
structed that.tho mercury in tlio tube at re
quired times connects with a wlro connected
with a dry battery and a magnet and these
appliances operate tho heating apparatus
connected with the Peck-Williamson system
automatically, and without any attention
from tho janitor of tho building. When
tho temperature of tho room reaches 73
degrees tho mercury in tho thermometer
connects with the wire connected with tlio
dry battery and magnet and causes an opera
tion by which tho heat is shut oil' and cold
air turned on. Tho mercury in tho ther
mometer then works in reverso order and
when tho temperature drops to (13 degrees
the electrical connections are again put in
motion by connection of the mercury with
tlio wiro and tlio hot air is again turned on
and tho cold air shut oil'.
Tho adoption of tlio l'cck-Williamson sys
tem of heating and ventilating N a new de
parture, as the West and Jardin street school
buildings contain tho Sinead-WilU system.
In making tho chaugo the Suhuol Board was
guided to some extent by tlio report of the
committeo on building and repairs made
after au exhaustive Inquiry into the merits
of both systems. The committee decided
unanimously that tlio Pcck-WilliuuiMm
system was the best and especially com
mended the separate stacks for hot and colli
air and a third stack which makes it Im
postibio for tho odors arising from tlio water
closets to pormeato tho air whicli the pupils
arc comiPllcd to brcatlio. Tho committeo
received several complaints recently in the
latter conneition.
At the sainaFftnttho securing of tho con
tract is a big yictory for"th'dT-tt.'K. Williamson
people. They are now comers to tin eastern
Held, the nearest introduction of their sys'j;m
being Tyrone, Pa., but their field through
out tho south and west is very largo.
After tho disposition of tho question of
heating and ventilating tho question of
putting a clock iii tho tower of tho new
school building was revived, but again went
down before a majority of votes. Director
Leo started tho discussion by moving that
a clock bo placed in tho tower and Director
Devitt seconded the motion with lusty voice.
Several Directors spoko for and against tho
proposition. On tho atllrmativo it was stated
a place tho sizo of Shenandoah should cer
tainly have a town clock, as tho town lias a
population of 18,000, and Port Carbon and St.
Clair with tlio grass growing in tho streets
havo fine town clocks. In opposition it was
stated that the clock would bo of no benefit,
except to people in the immediate vicinity of
tho building. Tho tower will bo but 71 feet
hts, the clock would cost from f 125 to $250,
Slid to increase the height of the tower,
with tho cost of the clock, would make an
pKpcnsy which would bo better appreciated
if turned into metallic ceilings for the rooms
lu the, building. Tlio motion was defeated
by a vote, of 0 to 5.
