A special car containing thirty member1
OF the Ohio Legislature, went to Washing
ton over the b. so. yesterday. They are
3 committee of the Ohio Legislature 70 at
tend the Garfield Memorial Services.
This is the way they do il according to
the woodfield papers:
A day or two ago William Montgomery
opened up . saloon in the town OF Gamer
on, and \ number of the "boys' called IN
to dedicate the concern. and before the day
was over one man had his leg broken IN .
wrestling match; another. Harry howell
nv name, his leg broken by u club in the
hands of q third, named John Holland. who
was arrested on a serious charge Of assault
with intent to.kill. as Howelfs wounds are
serious and may result in death Holland
was brought before Squire James Rough
ner, OF Adams township. who bound him
over to court, and in default Of $1,000 bail
he was sent 10 Jail.
The funeral of Mrs. Chas. Hanke took
place, yesterday. from ST. Johns church,
and was one OF the largest that has taken
place here for q long time. A number OF
Wheeling friends came down.
Not a drink of whiskey can be obtained
bv the drink. for love or money, in this
city, now Some of the saloonists think of
shutting up. Judge Kelly says that while
he is on the bench the law shall be strictly
enforced.
The family of ex-Mayor Cassell will join
him in Canada in a few days. Mr.. Cassell
is we'll satisfied with his change Of residence.
A gentleman from Columbus discussing
the superintendent measure, has this to
saw in regard to the counties composing
this district:
am the General Assembly the question
of re-districting the State for Congressional
purposes continues to be the absorbing
tonic of discussion. Representative Thorp,
OF Ashtabula county, n of the counties
in the old Garfield district, introduced, on
Thursday, q bill providing that the
districts shall remain as at present
constituted, and that any additional
members of Congress allotted TO Ohio shall
be elected at large ON the general State
ticket. This plan meets with much favor
among members who are satisfied with
their present districts, and it looks as
though the bill might be put through with
A rush, being supported by members Of
both ~parties. Unless this is done a long
wranele may be expected over the sub
iect. ending in much ill feeling, which it
is feared may %endanger the result of the
| election next fall. The Senator's and
members from the 10th district OF both
| nartleS are uIldIilUlOuS III
the districts as they are. The Democrats
expect nothing, in any event, and the Re-
publicans prefer TO endure the present ills
rather than fly to those they know not OF.
They oppose all the re-districting schemes
heretofore published. They oppose the
proposition to annex Monroe county to
The district, because that would en-
danger Republican ascenda ncy; they
oppose taking in Columbiana county, be-
cause they know this is only 4 scheme to
transfer the fight now going on IN the
Columbiana district between Major Nc
Kinlcy, of Stark county, and Judge laubie,
of Columbiana county, 10 a contest IN the
10Th, between Judge Laubie on one side
and DR.. Updegraf, Col. Poorman and
Others, who are understood to be candi-
dates for Congressional honors, on
| the other; they oppose having Carroll
! county taken in, because the Republicans
of Carroll have expressed a desire to re-
main where they are; they oppose putting
Guernsey and Noble counties into another
district, because it would look like an eff
fort to gerymander the district so as to get
rid of Col. Taylor and Private Dalzell as
opponents of Updegraff, Poorman & Co. IN
the race for Congress; they oppose,
for a similar reason, the latest prop
osition to put Harrison county into
! Major McKinlcy's district. In brief, they
are satisfied with the district as il is, and
propose TO make a fight against any change.
| Even if the General Assembly should con-
clude to enter fully upon the work of re-
districting, there is no need OF changing
the 10Th district, rs it will have, under the
new census, exactly the population requir-
cd by the apportionment act OF Congress,
which gives Ohio u instead Of ~, the
present number of congressman
