habit of being present at her evening re-
ceptions in the Priory at North Bank,
will remember how Lewes, in the midst
suddenly breaI off S, and a maRe signal for
silence: Hush! hush! Mrs. Lewes is
going to speak And again, when the
two happened to be discussing any ques-
ton, and Lewes had expressed any
views with which the great novelist did
not entirely agree, she would never be-
gin her answer without first saying in
her beautifully melodious and gentle
voice: Yes, yes; what you say is true.
Yes-but still, don't you think, perhaps
and SO go on to state her side Of the
argument.

A dispatch from Madison, Wis, says: ''The
death Of Senator Carpenter will make impossi-
BILE for the Republicans to control the organiza-
ton of the next Senate Immediately npon its
assembling, even if Malone or David Davis
vote with them, for the Wisconsin Legislature
can not constitutionally fill the vacancy prior
to the second Tuesday after receiving notice
from the Governor of its existence. Hence no
election can take place before March 8, and it
will probably be delayed beyond that date as
number of powerful competitors for the success
sion are already in the field. Philetus Sawyer,
who has been elected to succeed Senator Angus
Cameron, comes from Eastern Wisconsin, and
the Western portion of the State will now claim
the right to furnish a successor to Carpenter.
Among the. most prominent candidates are
Senator How, 'Boss" Keyes, Governor Pound,
and possibly Senator Cameron, whose present
term expires on the fourth proximo.'

EIGHT Persons Perish I'm the FLAMES.

four-story building at East Liverpool,
Ohio, occupied by Sloan Bros drug store, and
J. Kaufman, grocer, burned at an early hour
on the morning of the 23d of February, and in
ii persisted eight persons. The upper stories OF
the building were occupied by J. Sloan and
family Of seven persons, and the fire was first
discovered by Mr.. Sloan, who woke all, and
picking up q little daughter three years old,
told them to follow. The stairways were by
this time burned away, and escape by that
means cut on. Turning to the front Of the
building he told his wife with O babe in her
arms) and children to follow him, and leaped
to the ground. The wife and children we're
either overcome by the flames and stif1ed fumes
from the drug store, or failing to get the
children to jump, preferred death with them.
Mr.. Sloan hoped by jumping first to be able to
catch the others and break the force Of their fall
and although breaking his leg in the leap, hob
bed around crying out piteously for the others.
The building was perfect fire trap, having
numerous elevators running up through the
fourth floor, which opened up an inviting path
way for the fiery fend and nearly every floor
being flled with hay, the flames spreading with
frightful rapidity, and in twenty or thirty min
utes the entire structure was consumed. When
the ruins were searched, Mrs. Sloan was found
with her babe In her arms, and both burned
nearly TO crisp. Around them were huddled
the bodies Of the other five children, all having
hustled into one corner, and died as close tc
the mother as they could cling. Mr.. Skeels waf
sleeping In back room, and possibly nevel
knew of the danger until escape was impossible
From the position Of the bodies it WAS eviden
that Mrs. Sloan had evidently essayed to follow
her husband, but had been prostrated by tn
smoke, or went down in the crash which fol
lowed an explosion Of powder in the store be
low. The bodies were charred beyond recogni
ton, those OF the grown persons being guesse
by their sze, while the child burned to cris
on the breast Of It's mother, makes hers tn
only identity certain. The origin Of the fire
not known.
