Lats! ens to The Sa SENATOR BRICE. There is no Bolt in the Ohio Legis- Jature—Brice Gets the Persimmons. Corvmnvs, Omo, Jarh, 14—There were no signs whatever of a bolt against the democratic caucus in the election of United States Senator today, In the senate Shaw of the Lima district nominated Brice; Gaymer of Zanesville sec- ouded the nomination, saying that the nominge was a brave soldier in time of war and a bril- liant statesman in time of peace. Schneider of Cincinnati nominated Murat Halstead, It was received with cheers, hisses and laughter. Massie of Chillicothe nominated ex-Gov. Foster. ‘Ihe vote in the senate was: Halstead 1, Foster 14, and Brice 19. In the house a call was demanded to bring in members, Brown (Dem.) of Hancock, who is sick, was carried to the hail ina ch The only other democrats absent were ‘Troeger of Holmes and Lawler of Franklin, who is ill, Willis and Biair, republicans, were absent. Hunt of Sandusky presented the name of Calvin §. Brice, which was seconded by Belleville of Montgomery. Representative Bramin named Chas. Foster, which was secouded by Kepresentative Laylin, On the roll call the vote of counts for Brice was re- ceived with cheers as was also that of Munson, twoof the members who were credited with being bolters. Smith, the third caucus bolter, voted for J. T. Neal. His vote was received with a sub- dued murmur. Pennell, a strong Brice man and worker, voted for Foster by mistake, and before he ‘could make the correction the House was in an uproar with threats that the hali would be cleared unless order was main- tained, The vote in the House stood: Brice, 57; Foster, 52, and Neal, 15. Brice was de- clared the oice of the Hause, having re- ceived a majority of the votes. The result will be canvassed by the senate and house in joint session tomorrow. Ebed rares result of the two branches iy: Brice, 76; Foster, 66; Halstead, 1, and Neal 15. i THE CZAR’S INTELLECTUALS, Rumor That They Are Badly Clogged and Russia Has Trouble Ahead. Loxnoy, Jan. 14.—The repeated assertions of the insanity of the czar are duly denied, but it is true that the officials nearest his person fod it difficult to gain access to him even for the purpose of obtaining his signature to docu- ments or conferring with him upon the most important subjects, It is well known that some months ago, in consequence of the importu- nities of the czarins, he had determined to pur- sue ® more hberal policy for the future; that among the measures concluded upon were the pardoning of the greater number of political offenders, greater frecdom for the press and a gradual remodeling of colleges and schools, in- cluding an abolishment of the censorship over the text books used in them. While these con- ciliatory projects were under consideration came the discovery of the latest plot involving Officers personally dear to him and in whom be baa the most undoubting trust, and the his- tory of Kussia under the remainder of his reign will be that of an unceasing struggle be- twen the cunning of unscrupulous tyranny and the craftiness of desperate anarchy. The de- ition of Pom Pedro has still further con- rmed the Russian monarch against the advis- ability of allowing a people too much liberty, and the upusualiy loug period of mourning appointed in memory of the empress of Brazil is the inauguration of a defiant attitude toward the new republic that will be permanently maintained, FROM A FOREIGN SHORE, CABLE TO SAMOA, Loypnoy, Jan. 14.—The St ndard’s Berli respondent says that German, American Dutch bankers intend to lay a cable from San Francisco to Tutulle in Samoa, EXPOSITION LOTTERY, Pants, Jan. 14.—The exhibition lottery draw- ing takes place January 27. cor- EARL CAIRNS DEAD. Loxpoy, Jun. 14.—Earl Cairns died today from inflammation of the lungs. He was born December 21, 1861, and succeeded his futher April 2, 1885. The immediate cause of death was inflammation of the lungs. Deceased was only twenty-eight years of age. In 1845 he succeeded his father, Earl Cairns. Several years ago as Viscount Garmoyle he figured conspicuously as the defendant ina suit for breach of promise brought aguinst him by Miss Fortesque, the actress. ‘Ihe plaintiff wax awarded damages in the sum of $50,000. Lord Cairns subsequently married Miss Ulivia Be- rens. SIMMONS AND THE POPE, Rome, Jan, 14.—Gen. Sir J. Simmons, the British envoy extraordinary to the pope, ap- pointed to settle the difficulties of clerical juris- diction in Malta, has suspended his negotia- tions and will return to London to consult with the government couceruing the demand made by the Vatican. GRAND MASTER FONSECA. Rio Jaxzmo, Jan. 14.—Gen, Fonseca has been elected to the grand mastership of all the Brazilian lodges of the order of Free Mu- sons. — THE KNIFFEN INQUEST, The Mother of the Murdered Woman Exonerates the Accused. Trextox, N.J., Jan. 14.—At the inquest in the Knifin murder case today the witnesses were Mra, James Murphy, the mother of the murdered woman, and County Physician Levitt, whose examination occupied all the morning. Mrs. Murphy _ testified that her daughter and Dr. Kniflin lived together as pleasantly as any married couple, and that Dr. Kniffin was a good pro- vider for his famil suid, never com! (Mr: Mrs, Kniffin, the witness jiined to her of neglect, and never kuew of any | par- friend: tweenwr. Kuiffin and Miss Purcell. Dr. Kuthn married Miss Murphy with- obtaining her parents’ consent, but not Murph against ther wishes. The witness stated positively that Mrs. Kniffin's life was not d. thus upsetting a recent theory as to tive for the murder, She also said that lieved in the burglary theory and that she no reason to suspect either Dr, Kuiflin or Miss Pursel. Witness said the stomach of the dead woman had been sent for chemical analysis, not be- cause of any suspicion of poisoning, but as » precaution against such a contingency. County Physician Leavitt then gave a tech- nical desertption of the results of the post mortem exatination whieh fixed on chioro- ; forum as the case of death. ; FAILED FOR HALF A MILLION, A Big Michigan Flouring Concern Goes Unde Jacusos. Micn., Jan. 14.—Jackson is in the midst of a huge financial s¢ on. The Geo. days T. Smith middlings purifier company has failed, with liabilities at half » million.

The City of Cleveland Swindled by Her OMicials Out of $3,000,000. Curcaco, Jan. 14—A special to the Times from Cleveland, Ohio, says: A morning paper will publish tomorrow a statement submitted by an expert bookkeeper showing irregulari- ties in the city’s old accounts about $3,000,000. Nearly all of this money was paid out by the city without the approval of the council. Nearly a year ago # board of revision examined the books and report was made to the coun- cil. itis said that irregularities were found, and that the experts who signed the re- port did so under protest and only after it had been represented that these irregularities had been investigated before. Last night Julius Lembeck, one of the ex- perts. sent the council a communication asking that his name be stricken from the record, say- ing that he had been induced to sign the same under false representations, that the former investigation was not complete, that glaring irregularities had occur and that if given access to the books again he would make a full ex free of cost to the city. The council, however, adjourned with- out any action. After the council adjourned Lembeck gave the a complete statement. It showed that $3,000,000 had bee: ‘id out in a most peculiar manner. The entries upon the books were ali made in a misleading and un- certain way. One entry shows $234,579 paid for Lakeview park, although the property had been offered the city for $59,000. The amount paid was never included in the claims ordi- bance, _ The startling feature of the report. however, is a table showing that one or two million dol- lars were paid out and asserted to have been paid out without any entry in any book to show to whom the money was paid or for what pur- pose. A public meeting will probably be culled to take action if the coun nores the start- ing disclosures contained in the report. GOV, STONE INAUGURATED, He Says Something Nice About the Blue and the Gray Reunion Next May. Jacrsox, Mrss., Jan, 14.—John Marshal Stone was inaugurated governor yesterday. Tn 1875 when Ames was governor and resigned and A. K. Davis, colored, was lieutenant gov- ernor and was impeached, Stone was elected presiding officer of the senate and became Ames’ successor, serviag two years of his term d one full term—four years by election, The ugural address was lengthy. | il _refer- ence is made to the reunion next May at Vicks- burg of the men in blue and ied The gov- eruor expressed the wish that hearty co-opera- tion be given the movement. He said the vet- crans of the opposing forces had long since laid down their arms and were now following the peaceful avocations and desire continued peace and friendship. He expressed the be- lief that Congress would not pass obnoxious election laws to apply to the south because of a luck of endorsement from the northern peo- ple. He recommended strongly the abolish- ment of the present convict-leasing system and proposed that theconvicts be employed by the state on state farms, most of them being negroes. He called the attention of the legis- lature to the important subject of a constitu- tional convention and said it needed full and cureful deliberation and cousi i FORMALLY RE- Ephriam K.

Various Subcommittees Appointed To- day—Plenty of Work for Them. Citizens of the District who are interested in the various bills before Congress can at least have the satisfaction of knowing that they are being carefully considerea by various sub- committees of the House District committee. The meeting thin morning of that part of the House most interesting to Washington was at- tended by nearly all of the gentlemen who have charge of the District's interest. The follow+ ing subcommittees were appointed: a Grout, Burton and Hem- phil Ways and means—Messrs, Post, Snider and Campbell. Education, labor and chairitable instita- tions—Messrs. De Lano, Moore. Lee Ellis. Streets and steam rail ‘Messrs, At- kinson, Post, Heard and Compton. IMPORTANT BILLS BEFORE THE JUDICIARY SUB- COMMITTEE. There are about forty bills which are before the committee and which have been divided among the various subcommittees. The judiciary has a large number of the biljs of especial interest to the citizens of the District, This committee will cousider among others the charter of the American security and trast company, Mr. Morrow’s biil to en- courage co-operation in the District, the bill for the protection of hotel oe the bill to unish drunkenness, the bill to regulate rogulate mortgages, the bill o revise the to regulate m re e re ie District criminal an the charter for the United States eecurity company, Mr. Hemp- hill’s bill to extend the ordinances of Washing- ton to the rest of the District, the billto ex- tend the streets and avenues and the bill to revise and consolidate the municipal laws, TMPORTANT MEASURES BEFORE DISTRICT SUB- COMMITTEES. The subcommittee on ways and means is also an important one, as before it will come Mr. Compton’s bill for a bridge over the Eastern branch at the foot of South Capitol street and Mr. Eprieere's bill for the extension of the mall and for an avenue through from the Capitol to the monument. The subcommittee on education, labor, &c., likewise start out with plenty of work before them. Iu their hands are a number of im- portant bilis, as the bill to provide for the ap- Propriation and valuation of land for school arposes and the bill providing for the King eological building. STREETS AND RAILROADS. The subcommittee on streets and steam rail- roads is last, but far from least,as all of the railroad bills rest with them, Already they have before them the charter of the George- townand Tenleytown roud, the Washington und Great Falls, the Subarban road and the amendment tothe charter of the Eckington und Soldiers’ Home road, It is not known yet what bills the different subcommittees will tackle first, The judiciary subcommittee, however, will probably first con- sider the various charters for trust organiza- tions before it.

Why Robert E. Hall Says He Changed His Name. Inthe Criminal Court, Chief Justice Bing- ham, yesterday the case of Robert E. Hall, charged with false pretenses in obtaining money by means of a fraudulent check on No- vember 4 last, was placed on trial, Mr, Lips- comb for the government and Mr. T. C. Tay- lor for the defendant. It is alleged that the defendant on November 4 last, obtained $18 from B. P. Wagrous by means of a fraudulent check, sending the check with a note by a boy. Hall was arrested here at the instance of the Colorado authorities who claim that he ob- tained money from parties by false pretenses in that state, The defendant denied that he was the | eek who passed the check. He acknowledged that his correct name was Robert E, Hall; that he had lived in Colorado and that a requisition from that state was here. He denied that he fled the state, but asserted that he came east to consult physicians for stomach and heart trouble. Dr. Ward advised him to bave his teeth filled as that was the cause of the trouble. He used the name of Frederick C. Harper here and in his account with the bank, stating that he did so for a domestic and not for a criminal reason, ‘Lhe court directed him togive the reason and defendant said that it was for something which happened eleven years ago and would subject him to the menaces of an angry man.

We became intimate, [did not then know that she was a married woman, but knew afterward. The hus- band and I met; he opened fire on me aud I returved it, wounding him severely. Subse- quently we met and we made a contract, I pay- ing him certain money to support the child and promising to go west, never to return again.” On being questioned further by Mr. Lips- comb he said that the man’s name was Thomas Wilson, living at Magnolia, and that it was sole time after the birtn of the child that he ‘WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

A French Woman Who Came Near Ending Her Lite This Morning. This morning one of the female domestics in the house 1628 16th street northwest failed to putinan appearance at her usnal hour. One | of the other servants went up to her room and knocked but received no response, About 8:30, becoming worried, they called in a man from the neighborhood and he went up and looked in over the transom of the woman's room ahd saw her lying on the floor. He thought she was dead and summoned & policeman. The officer broke in the door and was met by a strong odor of gas, and found that the gas was turned on full head. On lifting the woman it was found that life was | not yet extinct and Drs, Dooley and Sowers were at once called in and did their best to restore her to consciousness, Late this afternoon she was reported somewhat better and it is now thought she will recover. It is not known whether she left the gas turned on all night by accident or whether she intended to commit suicide, The woman is an utter stranger here, as she has ouly been in the city two weeks. The house has been taken for the winter by Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Beck of Pough- keepsie, N.Y., but they have not yet come on to this city. The woman who has had 80 narrow an escape is Mrs, Beck's maid. She isa French woman about forty years of age, and is known to the other servants in the house only as Sophie, Mra, Beck sent her on to this city to reopen the house for her arrival. If the act was an attempt at suicide there is no cause which can now be ascribed and the whole event is involved in considerable mystery. —___ Nominations Today, The President today sent to the Senate the following nominations: made this contract, He went to Maguolia to see about the child, He was a printer by trade and worked here some weeks when he was here in 1877 and 1878, He was unable to remember where the office was, the name of his employer or any of his fellow-workmen, ‘The testimony having been completed yes- terday the counsel probeeded with the argu- ment today. a WORLD’S FAIR COMMITTEE, The Committes on Rules Meets, but Takes nv Action About It.
