THE FOURTH WARD.

We have thus far refrained from
comment on the complications of the
Fourth Ward preferring to leave their
adjustment to the healing influences
of the time. The contest for the
councilmanic nomination between
Messrs. Bailey and Caylor has been
very spirited, to say the least. The
first primary resulted in tie. Ow-
ing to the blunder for which neither
of the candidates was responsible, the
respective friends each held primaries
afterward, on different days, and both
candidates were declared nominated.
The matter was submitted to the
Executive Committee for arbitration,
which withdrew both candidates and
placed in nomination Mr.. Smithers.
This was not satisfactory, and both
by mutual agreement between Mr..
Smithers and Mr.. Caylor new
primary was held on Tuesday last, at
which Mr.. Caylor was nominated
This last primary was one of the most
hotly contested ever held in the ward
and it is safe to assume that there are
not a-half dozen Republicans in the
ward who did not take part in the
primary. Mr.. Caylor assured us that
had Mr.. Bailey or Mr.. Smither

Springfield. Ohio.

Since our last wiring, sorry to say, father
Time with his keen blade, has visited us and
cut down two of Spring fields old, and most
respected colored citizens, Jacob Johnson,
and Samuel Dudley. The former was born
in Loudan County, Va, in 1926, the latter
also in Virginia, in 1917, The former died
Friday the 22d, 2 a. m, and the latter Sat
urday %, 6 a. m. Both were respected
members of the North street A. NJ E.
Church. The funeral services of Jacob
Johnon were conducted by the Rev. j. w.
Gazaway, on Sabbath morning, 10 a.
m, and of Ssm1 Dudley, Monday p. m.
Both services were attended by host of
friends In the death of these two men we
have but gentle reNinder of what is in
store for humanity at large, it is a question
settled beyond dispute, that all men must
pass away; the old and the young. By the
death of these two men Springfield loses two
of her best citizens, the North street Church
two of her shining lights, and both families
kind and indulgent father, none knew
them but to respect them; both died as they
had lived, In the full triumph of
faith, AMI the circumstances warrant us in
saying that our loss is their gain. The FAM
lilies have the symathy of large circle of
friends.
Sumner literary society for some reasons,
which in the MAN, can be attributed to the
oppressive heat, WAS not so

those who did attend were we'll paid for
the trouble of coming out. The exercises
were very interesting as whole, but we
take occasion to mention particularly the
reading Of "Clarence's Dream" by Miss
Hattie Yates, while we find it almost impos-
sibe to command words to express our ap-
probation, we nevertheless believe that al
! who heard it will join us in saying that as
an elocutionist Miss Yates occupies the
place preeminent in this society. The Sum-

THE EMPEROR's LIFE.
How the Gar of All the Russias Lives In
His Castle-New Mines.


NEW YORK. April 2S.-A letter from st. Peters
burg gives gloomy account of the new Cars
life at the Castle of Gatschna, thirty miles from
the Capital. Before the Court removed thither
several hundred artisans of the Precobrajinsky
Regiment were sent to make the necessary altera-
tions. At midnight they assembled In the Church
Gatschina. and were sworn to silence. death or
Siberia being the penalty of an infraction OF the
oath. Ten roubles were the price of each mans
silence. The alterations were made in forty eight
hours. Todki soon lOosened the tongues of the
workmen. and the following i the description of
the precautions against the assassination
made in the Palace OF the Car: sub
to the stables where number of horses are kept

posted at intervals to guard all around the build
ing. The Imperial bed room has Two windows

eau only be reached from the outside by passing
through three spacious ante-chambers in which
are posted eighty C0Ssacks armed 10 the teeth.
They are allowed TO speak and move about in two
outer rooms, but in the hall adjoining the Cars
bedroom perfect silence l. main taned all night.
The General on duty for the day sits on easy
chair his Cossacks sitting ON divan which runs
around the whole room. AT the Generals right
hand is n knob OF an electric appai atus which
rings bell in every guard house WITHIN the Pail
ace grounds. When the Emperor is about To re-
tire. before shutting the door he removes the outer
handle so no entrance can be efiected until he
himself persona ly opens the door from the inside.

to every town along the river a. far south OF

here, aud the streets are constantly thronged

comfortable for those rescued from the cold
water previous TO removing them to their several

Plymouth Church Serrice.

Yesterday Rev. Mr.. Rogers, of Marshall,
preached in the pulpit of Plymouth church.
He came from Rochester, where he was at
tending a session of the conference of the
Congregational church, to asst Rev. DR..
Dana in the ministrations of the Sabbath,
who is still suffering much pain and incon-
venience from his broken arm.
The text was from Matthew $3.50:
"And he went little further and fell on his
face, and prayed, saying, oh, my Father if it
be possible let this cup pass from me; never
theless, not as 1 will, but as thou wilt" The
preacher dwelt with touching pathos upon the
innumerable prayers offered for the recovery
of the late president, during his weeks of in
tense suffering, and claimed that
such prayersswere not uselessly uttered, or in
vain, though apparently unanswered, the
specific object of the recovery not being
granted. So the prayer of Jesus, though ap-
parently unanswered, by u specific passing
by of the cup, was in Gods own way answered
to the healing of the nations. The corollary
was, that the great and good president did
not die in vain, and all chrlstendom
was chastened by the earnest offer
ing of fervent ard continued prayers.
The great lesson, not "as Will, but as others
will" was impressively brought home to
Christian minds and hearts, as scarcely ever
before, in the just and afflicted providence
which removed the president from earth. The
distress produced by the tragic event was an
expressive reminder of the days of Gethsemene

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.

The effort OF the Pioneer Press yesterday to
create sensation by alleging that compact
had been entered into between the Democrats
in the Legislature and certain Republicans OPP
posed to the election of Bill Window as Sena-
tor, caused little comment among the senator's
and representatives in the city yesterday. 1t
was generally regarded as one of the night
mares to which the editor of the P. P. is
subject-the effect of guilty conscience.
One prominent Republican representative, in
speaking to GLOBE reporter, said: 81 have
no doubt Window will be elected, and unless
man who suits me better, appears before the
legislature, shall vote for him, but 1 am not
at all frightened by the Pioneers roorbacks.
don't thiak there is any necessity for eau
Gus, and If one is called won't go into if, for
by doing so would surrender nv indepen-
dence. This won't do for anybody.n Said
another, opposed to Window: az haven't
heard of any compact or conspiracy, nor do 7
believe there is any. l shall vote for the best
man, whoever he may be; but think Window
has had more than his share of public honors
and ought to step aside" Nearly a score of
Democrats were spoken to, and without excen-
ton they laughed at the idea of combisatiop
with any faction of Republicans. They sill
were opposed to holding party caucus, and
wished that every member of the party should

be left to follow his own inclinations. 1t is
safe to say that no concerted action on the
part of the Democrats will be attempted,
There is every prospect that the present
week will be one notable in the annals of Min
nesota for CAB. A score of members are preg-
nant with speeches on the bond question, and
are anxious for the opportunity to be deliver
ed. The senate committee on finance will
probably report early id the week on the Pills
bury bill, while it is expected that the house
committee on the governors message will re-
port on Wednesday. The battle between the
debt payers and regulators will therefore bt
in full progress before the close of the week
in both houses.
But little is said as yet on the congressiona
apportionment matter. An effort will bt
made at this session to face some sort of 6
bill, but it will not come up for active discus
sion till after the senatorship and the bono
business are disposed of.

This play was the metropolitan success of last
year, and it is good for another season. The
company is a strong one, and large audience
may be looked for. The Detroit Free Press
of FebruaryI2, says:
The everlasting "Humpty Dumpty" was
produced again last evening to delighted au-
dience at the Detroit by Jay Rial's combina-
ton. The speciality acts introduced by this
company are specially worthy. of commenda-
ton. The dog circus is whole entertain
