DOORKEEPER.

DOORK EEPER.
When the election of doorkeep-
er was called, Mr.. B. B. Dovener,
of Wheeling, rose and said that he
desired on the part Of a respectable
minority: to put in nomination for
that position man who was well
and favorably known throughout
this State, and the United States,
and probably to some extent in the
District Of Columbia. He had
known him for some twenty years
himself, and oorl1 vouch for nis
qualification =; ,Iv ollice of door
keeper. He hoped that
KING CAUCUS
would be willing to yield at least
so humble position as this to the
minority. He thought they were
entitled to it, and said that he had
the honor Of naming as their can
didate, James P. Nealis. (Mr. Neal
is was the nominee Of the Demo
cratic caucus.) This little "goak"
of Capt. Dovener's created some
merriment, and Mr.. Hall, rising,
said that he hoped the suggestion
would be adopted and party ties
be laid aside-by the Democrats
and all vote for Mr.. Nealis.
SIxTY-ONE FOR MEALS.
Upon calling the roll Mr.. Nealis
received every vote in the House,
and is now happy doorkeeper

Horrible Sacrifice.


We have to record the destruct-
ion, with its awful consequences,
of another one of those massive
piles of kindling wood, called "Ho-
tells" that seem to be built special
ly to entmp and destroy those that
need shelter.
Without reproducing the col
umns of heart-rending particulars
crowding the Dailies of the past
week, we give the first dispatch
from the terrible scene as below:
"Mr1wAUKEE, Wis, January 10.
The Newhall House, "a six-story
brick building, at the corner of
Michigan street and Broadway, was
burned to the ground this forenoon.
The fire was discovered at 4 a. m.
In less than half an hour the whole
building, which has long been des-
ignated as death trap, was en-
veloped in flames. Scenes of the
utmost terror prevailed the in
mates of 1.-THE doomed building Jump
ing by dozens from the upper sto-
ries, covering the stone sidewalks
with their lifeless bodies. The
shrieks of the unfortunate filled
the air in heart-rending manner,
the people below being unable to
render any aid. A number of ter
rified guests and employees of the
hotel appeared at the windows,
ard seeing the distance to the
ground, fell back to perish in the
flames. The employees of the hotel,
which accommodated 800 guests,
numbered eighty-six, mostly lodg-
cd in the sixth story The exit by
way Of the roof was cut off by the
fire, and the two stand pipes with
fire ladders were not available for
the same reason. Very few were
saved by jumping or the canvas.
All the stores and offices on the
ground floor, with the contents,
were entirely destroyed"

networks of telegraph wires, that
it was impossible for the fire COM
panies to use to any advantage,
their ladders, canvas, &c, for say
ing life.
The scenes about the ruins while
the charred bodies of victims were
being recovered, were most sad and
appalling. The latest accounts
place the number Of the dead at
about seventy.
There were but few guests in the
house at the time, most of the vic
TINS being employees.
