WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 14--~Nearly
every member of the Ohio legislature wants
congressional district fixed up for his
special benefit" remarked one of the Ohio
delegation in congress, but in my opinion
the congressional districts as they are now
will not be changed by the present Demo
cratic legislature The history of the gerry
manders in Ohio is not pleasant reading for
those who have done the geiTymander-
ing Not one of them ever reached
congress. The history of the last
e;er-r.y-nandeT by the Republicans in Ohio and
those who accomplished it is fair example.
Five members of the general assembly were
the leaders in that move: Horr, Morton
Wallace, Brigham and Coates Kinney Nor
ton, Wallace and Kinney were defeated in
the nomination in their congressional conven-
tions, and Horr and Brigham were defeated
by the people in districts made by themselves.
Mark my words-the Democratic members
viii not meddle with the present congres-
sinnal districts -

The Whisky RiIl In a BAD Nar.

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan l4.-The friends
Of the Willis bill for the extension of the
bonded period of whisky are beginning to
admit that it has little show of passing.
Phil Thompson says he understands that
there is a majority Of 5 against it in the
ways and means committee. He says Her.
bert, Hewitt, Mills and Blount announce
themselves against it, and probably all the
Republicans will oppose it, so it is past hope
He thinks bill permitting all whisky to re-
main i'll bond at the pleasure of the owner
might pass, but one for the special benefit of
the few viii not. He also thinks that the
only hope of the holders of Bourbon whisky is
in expectation.

pondent has just returned from a visit to the
different peach orchards in this vicinity,
known to the public as the "great peach belt" "
made to ascertain the effect of the recent cold
snap upon the peach trees. 1t is the unani-

have not suffered particle from the severe
cold, and, providing the temperature does not
become more intense than it has been, the
trees will be all right The lowest point the
thermometer has reached here was 10 degrees

could relieve them from the embarrassment,
and turn did not occur. Coleman & 60.
have made an assignment for the benefit OF
their creditors 1t is impossible al present
to estimate their liabilities, but they are
heavy, and the assets are chiefly of such a
character that they are not available at pres
ent Most of the firms Indebtedness Is due
outside of this city.
The firm OF e. w. Coleman 81 Co. was sup
posed to have capital of 100000, and the
Colemans' individual wealth was estimated
at S1G0,Q00. At their Office all particulars
were declined except that they had sus-
pended and had made an assignment.
1t is supposed that the failure of J. M.
Fuller & Co. was precipitated by the decline
in the market consequent upon the sus-
pension of Coleman & Co. The firm has been
loilg a speculative business and was "long"
Of the market. 1t is not supposed the
firms liabilities are extensive. The firm
was embarrassed about three months ago,
but managed to tide over the difficulty at that
time without suspension. Mr. Fuller year
ago, claimed cash capital of $4,000.
His father is wealthy brewer of
Brooklyn, and advanced him money
occasionally. James NJ. Fuller made
an assignment to George C.
Martin, giving preference to his
father, James A Fuller for $4,000 for
money loaned. At the office of the firm, it
was stated that the liabilities would probably
not exceed S100,0o0 The failure is due
directly to the heavy decline in wheat, and
also to losses by the failure of Lane & Son, a
Detroit house, few months ago
New YORK, Jan. IA The schedule in the
assignment Of William p & Ambrose Par
sons, builders, to John c. Orr, were filed
The liabilities are S537, 900; nominal assets
