work to place a new lock on the door, leaving
Kennedy in possession of the original key.
In short time Kennedy made his appearance
on the scene with numerous band of enthu-
siastic followers, and then the fun COM
menced. Doran remarked to Wilson that he
was now in possession Of the school, at which
Kennedy seized a poker and advanced
his supporters to "giye it to him."
The odds seemed all against Doran for awhile
and he beat a hasty retreat to the door, fol-
lowed by his demoralized forces. At this
critical juncture, however, he received inn
portant reinforcements In the shape of an
old man by the name of Alternately, support
ed on either flank by his wife and daughter,
both viragos of the most warl1ke type. They
proved themselves ready with tongue and
hand to aid the waning fortunes of the school
treasurer. The belligerent females Immediate
ly set upon Kennedy's cohorts with clubs. and
belabored them in the most vicious manner,
striking right and left with great yigor. Young
James Munson, one of Kennedy's
chief lieutenants, was hit upon
the head several times with clubs,
and would have been knocked down
had not his friends caught him. So the con-
fict ragged, fast and furious, for some time,
with varying fortunes to the contending
forces. Finally, the school treasurer Was
forced to retreat with his Amozonian cohorts,
which he did sullenly, with drawn pistol in
his hand, and breathin vengeance. Kenne-
dy and Wilson both remained in the school
house the balance of the day, glaring at each
other across the desks. The children all went
home, but a large crowd of their parents and
other friends of Kennedy remained
with their chief. The forces are
resting on their arms to-nis hit
with the intention of renewing the strrsgle
in the morning. 1t is feared there may be a
dangerous collision between the factions, as
great excitement and much bad blood exists
in the city, every man, woman and child of
which is arrayed one side the other.
Marietta has long been noted for the conten-
tious and quarrelsome character of many of
her citizens, and the present difficulty is but
repetition of what occurs there every few
months. Most of their rows originate over
school troubles for which the town has be-
come famous, and which have made il a
nuisance to the county.

of the same, to the investigation and to the

taken, but they lake pleasure in testifying
that the rulings of the chairman ana his
manner of directing business were
marked by the most equitable and
even generous spirit. They differed from
the msjority as to some of the res.
olutions adopted by them. limiting the scope
of the investigation. but this difference OF
judgment did not diminish their sense OF
personal courtesy shown them. The refer to
the origin of the committee, pointing out that
the original resolutions for its appointment
did not ask for general investigation OF
all the frauds connected with the last presi
Dental election, but only what might be found
in the acts of officials and persons of one po
litical party, In only two of the States in which
fraudulent practices were charged. They say
they took this view OF the afiais in the com
mittee, but the majority paid nl
attention to them. They say that the

The Attempt to Pass Articles of Impsach-

Causes Large Amount of Filibustering
in the House.
sEwsY NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL

Special to the Sentfnei-
WASHINGTON, March 3.-It is claimed by
those who have been here for many years that
the closing hours of Congress were never
marked by a scene of such wild confusion.
The frantic efforts of Mr.. Springer. chairman
of the committee to investigate Seward, to se-
cure vote on the articles of Impeachment
are being strenuously opposed by the
Republicans, who are insisting upon the read
ing OF the majority and minority report of the
Potter committee.
The sergeant-at-arms had to be called within
with his mace TO preserve order, and it looks
as If the entire night would be spent in the
attempt to keep the Seward case before the
House.
Atll p. IN. all the appropriation bills are
disposed of, except the army and legislative
bills, and as the latter contains the repeal of
the election law. little hopes are entertained
of reaching compromise, although
rumors are plentiful to the effect
that an arrangement has been effected by
which the Senate will consent TO the repeal Of
the test oath for Jurors and TO prohibit the use
of troops at the polls, while the House will
consent to an amendment of the law to
appoint supervisors, which Will divide the ap-
pointing power between the two parties.
The president and members of the cabinet
are at the capital engaged in the examination
and signing of bills. 1t is estimated that the
crowd in the galleries and the corridors of the
capital is greater than was ever before known
