Senator Matthew's speech Thursday
in opposition to the bill restricting
Chinese immigration was one of the
finest efforts made in the Senate in
many months. He spoke about une
hour and held the attention of all.
Upon its conclusion he was warmly
Congratulated by dozen Senators.
The Democrats in Congress are said
to begin to see the risk they hazard in
assuming before the country the re-
sponsibility of an extra session, and
hence there is much probability that
there will be none.

Burning of the Main Building of
the Soldiers and Sailors Or.
phans' Home at Xenia.

A disastrous fire occurred at the Sol
diers' and Sailors Orphans Home
near Xenis, on Sunday morning, at Z
o'lock, entirely destroying the main
building of that institution. Since the
burning OF the Central Insane Asylum,
at Columbus, no such a loss has been
met with by the State.
The building destroyed contained
the offices, parlors, sleeping apart
ments for officers and teachers, and
large dining hall, with culinary de-
psrtment, bakery &c, and it was hanked
on either side by cottages, which we're
occupied by the children as their quar-
ters. The six hundred children at the
Home had just finished breakfast In
the main building and returned to
their cottages when the fire made its
appearance in the first story. Owing
ing to the dense smoke which at once
filed the halls the widest confusion
prevailed among the teachers, who
were at breakfast, and who vainly
sought to return to their rooms In the
third story to save their personal ef-
fects. Several members OF the Legis-
leture, visiting the institution, narrow
ly escaped with their lives. Senator
Richards, of Jefferson county,. and
wife, escaped by jumping from Sec
on story window on to blankets held
by men below. eSenator Sabin and
wife, Representative Dodds and Mrs.
Brelsford, wife of the steward, saved
themselves by leaping from I'd story
windows on to the porch below from
whence they dropped to the ground in
safety. In two hours, the entire build
ing and contents were destroyed, inclu-
ding the personal effects of teachers
and officials which were considerable.
No lives were lost and so serious scci-
cidents are reported. The loss to the
State by this fire will be about sew enty-
five thousands, upon which there was
no insurance. The origin of the fire is
unknown.

BRIDGEPORT.

A MEETING, preliminary to active
work in favor OF "lOcal option" was
held in the NJ. E. Church, on Monday
evening. A bill is pending in the Leg.
islature fsvoring this movement, and
it is q good time now for the people in
favor OF it "to move Immediately oD
the works" of the Legislature.
SURELY the way of the transgressor
is hard. James Lawless, recently out
of the Ohio penitentiary, for killing
Sailor Jack, languishes in our lookup,
unable to pay his fine for drunkenness
and disorderly conduct. The man who
sold him the liquor is enjoying his
liberty, and there is nothing molest-
ing him.
REVIVAL SERVICES are in progress
at Scott's NJ. E. Church, with consid-
erable manifest interest.
SERVICES are being held in the Pres
byterian Church. Rev. Johnston, of
Steubenville, is assisting Rev. Chal-
FAINT.
IT WILL take ten days yet to repair
injuries to Etna Mill, though work is
progressing fsvorably. Meanwhile or
ders are pouring 10 for its wares.
THE C. & P R. R. has its newly ar
ranged outfit of running stock on the
road. The passenger coaches are very
pretty and comfortable.
IF IT ISN'T personal, we would in
quire what has become OF the County
Seat removal question? We have
heard nothing from it for at least 30
minutes.
FARMERS are holding their wheat
for better prices, and our mills, mean
while, are buying grain abroad.
THE Masonic Supper on Friday
night, was In every respect a success.
All present enjoyed themselves fully
with superb supper, whirled many OF
the hours of the night away in the
dance.
WE SUGGEST to the Ohio Legislature
that it resolve itself into ''committee of
the whole" and then pull the hole In
after them, and stay there.
NEVER did animal show its teeth
more vIsibly than do the Bourbon pa
triots, like Jim SteedDan and other
Democratic worthless in the Ohio Leg
islature. A movement to invest the
surplus of the sinking fund In Govern
ment bonds, thereby saving many
thousands to the State, is met by these
party vipers with all their envenomed
opposition, preferring to sacrifice the
interests of the State, to their silly, big
oted, hatred of John Sherman -who,i in
spite of their Thurmans, their Bis hops,
their Pendletons and Ewings, made
Resumption success.
The reason, 1t has been discovered,
why Sammy Cipher never married,
grows out of his hatred for the sex,
because Pharoah's daughter found
"Moses" In the bulrushes.

Sam gave his kinsnan, according to

THE New York Tribune says the
probability Is that there viii be no ex-
ira session and that Thurman will re
turn to his home burdened with the
consciousness that he has loaded him
self with another needless and stupid
blunder. The poor man has dreadful
Iy bad luck of it nowadays. He jump
ed into the Greenback train just before
It smashed up, and lost the benefits oi

of bulldozing and ballot-box stuffine
