The Mnssachusetts seuntorshIp Contest

The Massachusetts seuatorshIp Contest.
BosroN, January lS.-The balloting for
United States Senator to-day was as fol-
lows: First ballot-Hoar, 14S; Long, So;
Bowerman, SS Hoar was declared elected.
The confidence expressed by the Hoar
men early this morning is now explained
by the fact that Crapo sent a dispatch with
drawing from the contest, and requesting
his friends to vote for Hoar.
BosroN, January lS.-A private dispatch
from Washington indicates that forgery
was committed which resulted in the elec.
ton OF Senator Hoar. There was published
to-day dispatch from Congressman
Grape, which was circulated among his
supporters in the Legislature to the effect
that those who voted for him and
friends OF his were requested 10
vote for Mr.. Hoar. Intimation to this
effect in an evening paper caused much
comment. 1t is now known that Crapo
never sent out authority for such dis.
patch.
The Journal (Republican) says: "The
reelection Of Geo. f. Hoar Is a great
victory for the Republican party in Massa-
chusetts. 1t battles the cunningly con.
trived schemes OF Governor Butler and his
Democratic followers.
The TraryLer (Rep.) says: "The net re-.
suit is ia victory for the Republican factiou
at the expense OF the whole party and to
the imminent perils Of future ascendency
in this State. AS such it isa fit subject for
rejoicing only among Democrats"

WHAT is coNTgNpgD FOR

The substance Of the contention on the
part Of the complainant is that the city OF
Parkesburg has levied charges upon their
river steamboats,, their tonnage and cargoes,
disguised under the name Of wharfage, but
which is in fact a tax upon commerce
for the purpose Of raising money to defray
It's own obligations; that the city under
said ordinance has collected Wharfage dues
sufficient in amount to pay over and over
again the cost OF the construction and

ton OF any kind. The District Attorney
stated to press agent that Schellers pre-
liminary examination will not be had until
after the inquest, which will take fully a
week. In the absence OF the statement
promised by Landlord Antisdel to the
press, it is positively impossible to figure
ut the number OF bodies yet in the ruins.
1t is supposed to be from twelve to fifteen,
which would make the total number Of
victims seventy-fve to eighty.
THE LOST AND SAVED.
Careful compiling places the number OF
victims at 75-l7 bodies OF those killed by
jumping, taken to the morgue on the morn
ing OF the fire, s survivors died since,
8 identified aud 43 unacceptable re.
mans taken from the ruins up till
tonight. The list OF the saved embraces
l02 names. Taking Chief Clerk Tice's
statement Of the ITO guests and 81 en-
ployes in the hotel ut the time Of the
lire ior granted, these figures still
leave four unaccounted for who are
presumably in the ruins. Thus the total loss
Of life will be seventy.tive as near as can
be ascertained. The work ofsearching the
ruins will be finished to-day.
DAMAGING EVIDENCE AGAINST scnELLER.
The most damaging evidence in connec-
tion with sCheller's arrest on the charge Of
having set the Rewhall House on fire,
came to light to-day, despite the efforts Of
the police to keep the direct causes lead
ing to the arrest secret. On the day
before the FIRE Scheller removed part Of
his stock OF liquors from the Newhall
House bar room to his private residence.
The stock so removed was valued
at seven hundred dollars. Insurance agents
have done nothing towards the adjustment
SCheller's policies since his arrest, but sur
prising developments are expected. The
insurance men now openly assert that
Scheller's stock was worth hardly one.half
OF the insurance.

WASHINGTON, January l8-The fast mail
service was saved to New England and the
Atlantic coast to-day, by the Senate insert
ing, on vote OF 50 to 90, the money to pay
for it in the postal appropriation bill, over
the opposition Of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad. The southwestern Senators voted
nearly solid. Senators Allison and Plumb,
acting on broader and more liberal poll.
CIV, insisted that, because the West could
not at the present secure the facilities they
desire, it was no reason why the East should
be deprived OF what they had. The House
will probably concur, us the majority by
which 1t was omitted was not large.
WHISKY DEALERS DEFEATED.
The whisky men came to grief to-day,
having tried to get up their bill to extend
the time Of taking whisky out Of bond,
and failed by vote Of 1G4 to AZ, Robeson
taking the floor from them for the Naval
appropriation bill. This finally defeats
the measure as 1t develops the. fact that
there is large majority against it on It's
merits and it will be abandoned, and o

The unknown man who was run over
by the Cotton Accommodation train on
Wednesday afternoon, near Ell Monte,
and who was brought to this city by the
Pacific Express, dying shortly after his
arrival, was not identified yesterday.
Dr.. Nadeau impaneled coroners jury
yesterday morning and an inquest was
held upon the body of the deceased.
Conductor Sippy, the conductor of the
train which did the killing, was put on
the stand, and he testified that he was
standing in the baggage car. after hav-
ing passed Ell Monte, and CHANGING to
look out he saw man on his hands and
knees crawling along the trestle, not a
hundred yards in front of the engine.
He made every effort to stop the train,
but did not succeed, as there was not
room in which to bring the train to
stand-still. Engineer Stewart who was
running the train, testified that he did
everything in his power to stop his train,
but was upon the man before he could
succeed in the attempt. The jury
brought in verdict in accordance with
these facts, generating the railroad en-

Attention. Bald Heads !


We can not cure badness, as a bald
head is beyond help; but if those who
have hair and desire to retain it will fol.
low our advice, they need never show a
clearing on the top of their heads. The
cause of badness is the habit men have
of pulling their night-shirts off over their
heads. There are some who will laugh
at this idea, but it is not intended that
they should, as this is not funny article.
This is business. The pulling of shirt
or night-shirt off over the head causes
friction of the scalp. which in time sears
the roots Of the hair. and leaves barren
plain, Sahara, forever after. Suppose
the night-shirt comes to mans feet,
there is from five to six feet of tail to be
drawn over the tender hair, which, kept
up for series of years, would wear out
any head Of hair. Add to this the fric-
ton of taking off the shirt, and then
the natural scratching of the head for
ideas, etc., and the hair has no rest, and
the wonder is that there is man who
has a spear of hair on his head.
Now the preventive is for men
to walk out of their night-shirts the
front way. Women are never bald,
and some sneering men account for the
fact by claiming that women do not have
brain enough to become bald. This is a
campaign lie. Women have more brain
and better quality than any bald-head-
ed man on earth. But thay do not wear
their hair off by pulling their garments
over their heads. They open the front
door Of garments, and walk out into the
light of day, and never disturb hair.
This we state upon information and be-
lief, and if we are wrong we can
easily be corrected. 1t is alleged
that they get out of their dry
goods different from men and there
by make great saving in hair. TAX
ing all the facts, there is but one sensi-
bic way for men who desire to retain
their hair, and that is to break the de-
structive habit of pulling their garments
off over their heads. They may have
to be instructed in the best manner of
getting out of a night-shirt without
using the head for pivot, but that can
be arranged. Let societies be formed,
classes, if you please, and secure
teacher to illustrate how to take off
night-shirt from the front way. If our
discovery is acted upon bald.headed
men will be unknown in the next gen.
