4 LEADING PROFESSOR SPEAKING
OF SENSIBLE PEOPLE.

DIR. S, the prominent Eastern medi-
cal lecturer, says; Every day sensible peo-
pie come to me complaining of their health
being broken down. The answers to my in
quiries always are-what surmise-nature's
laws have been totally disregarded; conse-
quently the blood, the stream of life, BE-
comes contaminated-aud as a result of this
blood poisoning, find dyspepsia and disor-
dered functions of the heart, lungs liver
and kidneys, accompanied by headache, ner-
vous debility and other impaired organic
portions, often verging on paralysis. In
order to keep the digestive organs in proper
health and strength, 1 and my friends in the
profession have recommended Browns Iron
Bitters-they act SO mildly and soothingly,
never leaving any unpleasant after effects,
strengthening the organs digestion, and per.
manently removing every symptom of i'll
health, languor and debility. No remedy in
the East gives such good satisfaction as
Browns Iron Bitters, and all druggists can
procure it for you. Don't be persuaded to
use substitute. This remedy contains no
alcohol, and is the only preparation of Iron
that does not blacken the teeth.-SUN.

The Indians.

SAN Francisco, October IA
Wilcox, Ariz., dispatch reports from
San Carlos that the Chiricapoa
scouts, who deserted, killed one of
the White Mountain Indians. Fears
are entertained that the latter will
retreat, and if general fight takes
place among them no one can tell
where it will end. General McKen-
zie is at the agency. Chief George
is reported as going toward Ash
Greek with his men, and some of
Cars troops are in pursuit. Col
onel Sanford has been directed to
place his troops in such opposition
as to prevent all discussions of the
hostiies along the border between
Arizona and Sonora.

Ohio Election.

COLUMBUS, O., October 1.-THE
falling off in the city and county
vote is estimated at nearly one
fourth. Sufficient is not known at
this hour to determine which party
will gain on account of this falling
off except in one or two isolated
cases. Wards will come in slowly on
account of heavy scratching on the
local ticket. In some quarters there
was enough scratching, both of Fos
ter and Bookwalter, to make the re>
suit very doubtful. Some we'll known
Republicans aud Methodists scratched
Foster, and perhaps corresponding
number of Democrats failed to vote,
or scratched Bookwalter.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 1.-The election
in Ohio has been unusually quiet,
and from all points from which news
comes there are reports of an excep-
tionally light vote. In this city the
vote will fall off from 25 to 80 per
cent. The party lines were much
broken over by voters, therefore the
process of counting the votes will
be very tedious.

The New York Fire.

New YORK, October 1O.-Carl Up
mann's cigar factory, in East 18th
street was burned this forenoon.
Two hundred employees were in the
building, which is five stories hi h.
The fire began in the engine room on
the ground floor, and escape by the
stairs and fire escapes was cut off al
most as quick as the fire was discov-
cred. A frightful panic ensued. Event
ually all got uponth roof through the
scuttles and made their way to
adjoining buildings. Many women
and girls tainted and had to be
carried out, and some of the men
was SO demoralizad that force was
necessary TO compel them to make
use of the means at hand of saving
their lives. Within two minutes
after all had escaped the flames broke
through the roof. The loss is about
100000; insurance $4,000
New YORK, Oct. 1.-THE cause of
the fire in the Fourth Avenue stables
is believed to have been the acci-
dental upsetting of lamp on the
Third street side of the stables.
Owing to the great amount of hay
and grain stored in the building, the
flames spread rapidly. Park Avenue
hotel, opposite the stables, was ex-
PoSed to fearful heat, but on ac-
count OF the iron front, escaped
INJURY About 100 animals perished
IN The flames. 1t is rumored that
thfee men lost their lives in trying
10 rescue the horses. At 2 a. m. the
hre was burning fercely.
Ihe latest estimate made of the
loss by the fire last night, in the
destruction of furniture, etc, stored

THE SENATE.
The New Senators Sworn IN
Yesterday.
Adjournment Without Electing a
Secretary.

WASHINGTON, October 11.-Im-
mediately after the reading OF the
journal. Senator Edmunds, rising to
q question of the highest privilege,
moved that the oath of Office be ad-
,n;n;stered to Nelson W. Aldrich,
Sonator-elect from the State of
Rhode island. There being no OBJ
lection, the motion was agreed to-
and Mr.. Aldrich was sworn in.
Senator Edmunds then made a
similar motion in the cases of the
Senators-elect from New York.
Senator Mcpherson interposed,
and stated that he desired to present
Il petition, pending that motion. He
held in his hands communication
from certain members of the New
York Legislature, alleging certain rea-
sons why Messrs. Lapham and Miller
were not entitled to seats in the Sen
ate. With regard to those allegations
he knew nothing. He did not pre-
sent the petition with any desire to
delay action upon the administration
of the oath. He offered the petition
and would refer it at the proper time
to the appropriate committee.
Senator Edmunds said that as the
petition referred to the propriety of
swearing in the new Senators from
New York he would not object to its
reception at the present time. The
petition was received and laid on the
table and the oath of office admins
tered to the Senators from New
York.
A committee, consisting of Sena-
tors Pendleton and Anthony, was ap-
pointed by the presiding officer to
wait upon the President and inform
him that the Senate was ready to re
ceive any communication he might
be pleased to send them. Then, at
1915 p. M, the Senate took recess
for half an hour
After recess, Senator Edmunds
offered a resolution declaring that
the standing committees of the Sent
ate be continued for the present
session, and authorizing the Presiden-
pro TEN. to fill any vacancies which
may exist therein.
Senator Harris asked that the reso
luton lie over for one day under the
rule. So ordered.
The committee appointed to wait
upon the President reported that it
had performed it's duty and that the
President had stated that he would
communicate in writing with the
Senate tomorrow. The Senate then
adjourned until to omorrow
