FOrty.seventh Congress.

The first regular session of the 47th
Congress convened at Washington last
Monday. The main interest centered in
the organization of the House and the
galleries were crowded by interested
spectators long before the body was call
ed to order. Clerk Adams, of the last
House, promptly at noon announced the
session open and proceeded to call the
roll, 29O Representatives answering to
their names. The organization was
then perfected by the election of the
candidates nominated by the Republican
caucus last Saturday, as follows:
Speaker.-Gen. Joseph Warren Keifer,
of Ohio.
Clerk.-Edward Mcpherson, of Penn
sylvania.
Sergeant at atArms.-Col. Geo. w. Hook
er, of Vermont.
Doorkesper.-Walter P. Brownlow, of
Tennessee. f.
Postmaster. Capt. Harry Sherwood.
of Michigan.
Chaplain.-Rev. Frederick ID. Power.
of Washington.
General j. Warren Keifer, Speaker Of
the House will be As years of age in Jan
uary next. He graduated at Antioch
College when it was under the direction
of Horace Mann, and had just entered
upon the practice of law at Springfield,
Ohio, when the war broke out in 1861.
He was among the first to enter the ser
vice from Clark County, and as early as
April q was commissioned Major Of the
Third Ohio Infantry. He remained in
the army until June 9th, 1865, and left
it with the breyet rank Of Major Gener-
al. He always served with distinction
and was wounded three times while
fighting the battles of his country, hav-
ing his left arm shattered at the battle
of the Wilderness, but kept the field and
Joined gallant Phil Sheridan's army at
Harpers Ferry and with his arm in a
sling fought at Opequon, Fishers Hill
and Cedar Creek. At Opequon he was
wounded in the thigh by she'll. This
did not prevent him rendering further
service and he commanded his brigade
successfully in several succeeding bat
ties.
In 1868 General Keifer was elected
member of the Ohio Senate. and in 1876
was elected to Congress, and has been
an influential member since that date,
being returned at each succeeding elec-
tion by increased majOrities. In 1876
his majority was 3,716; two years later
he was reelected by majority of $500
and last fall his majority was increased
to 5,917. He is a self made man and
has always proved equal to the situation
in whatever position he has been placed
which is conclusive evidence that he is
man of considerable ability and where
he is best known, even his political 0p-
pOnents cOncede that he will make an
ableSpeaker of the House. The Cincinnati
Enquirer, the leading Democratic paper
Of Ohio, previous to his nomination said
eff Keifer should be elected Speaker, the
facility with which he would preside
over the House would probably surprise
even his intimate friends"

A ROUGH EXPERIENCE.

row Escape-Being Beached to Save
Her and Those On Board.
Last Tuesday forenoon the tug Pen
dell started with the schooner c. Hart,
loaded with lumber for the new court
house for Presque Isle county. They
reached Rogers City safely that after
noon and after some delay succeeded in
getting the lumber unloaded about 10
o'clock that night. Learning at the tel
egraph Office that the storm signals had
been ordered up they were anxious to
get back home and as it was calm at the
time they hastened to make preparations
for returning and started back about
midnight. When they left Rogers City
there was no sea running and but
light breeze blowing. All at once the
gale set in and blew with terrific
force and having the Hart in tow it
made heavy work for the tug. At times
the wind, which was dead ahead blew so
strong that the schooner would drag the
tug astern and sea after sea would
sweep over her threatening to swamp
her. For sometime the unequal contest
was kept up, Capt. Kitchen still hoping
to make this port all right. The heavy
strain on the tow line caused it to part
and the schooner drifted off and was
left to be cared for by the crew. In the
meantime the water continued to fill the
hull of the tug and gained upon them
so fast, Notwithstanding all their efforts
to keep her free, that all hands came to
the conclusion that she had sprung
leak and as the water threatened soon
to extinguish the fire Capt. Kitchen con-
cluded that the best thing that could be
lone was to head her for shore, and done
50, striking shoal water on the beach
| about 10 miles down the shore, about
o'clock Wednesday morning. All hands
succeeded in getting ashore, being COM
PEELED to swim. The morning was quite
cold and, thoroughly wet as they were,
they started to foot it to Cheboygan,
where they arrived before noon. We'd
nesday was terribly stormy day and a
very heavy sea was running all day and
fears were entertained that the tug
might prove total loss. Capt. Hart, of
the little schooner proved equal to the
occasion and making sail run back to
Hammonds bay with his vessel and that
evening succeeded in making this port
all right. Thursday morning the tug
Bennett started down to see what could
be done to release the tug, taking num-
Der of pumps and men to work them
and also John Dodd, the diver, in case
it might be necessary to stop any leaks.
They reached the tug and found her well
covered with ice. A line was run from
the Bennett to the Pendell and the men
and pumps put on board. They found
no trouble in freeing her from water
and when pumped out came so near float
ing that the tow line did not have to
be stretched to pull her off. She was
not injured in the least and was towed
into porG Thursday afternoon. AS she
did not leak it is evident that the water
that was fast filling her all came from
the heavy seas that continually washed
over her. After being brought in her
boiler was filed and steam got up and
yesterday she was as ready for business
as ever.
