The Illinois Legislature,

Chicago, Nov. lo-The present esti-
mate as to the completion of the Illinois
state Legislature, Is that it will be tie
on joint ballot, the senate having a
majority of one republican and the
house majority of one democrat.
Contests are likely to ensue in three dis
tricts which may reverse this condition
of affairs. The situation is made more
interesting from the fact that successor
to General Logan is to be selected.

The Late Fire in River Avenue.

The fire that occurred on Wednes-
day a week ago at the residence of
Mrs. Boyd, on South River avenue,
was discovered by her daughter,
who gave the alarm. Mrs. Boyd,
who resides in the house, is a quiet
inoffensive woman, and has as board
ers John II. Butler, Ashton Ball and
Marshall Fisher. The facts as stated
at the Mayors office, are as follows;
The two gentlemen, Ball and Fisher,
who use one trunk in which to keep
their clothes, had gone to work early
in the morning, Butler, it appears,
stole coat from the trunk belonging
to Fisher and pawned it on Market
street, and then set fire TO the other
clothing in the trunk. 1t is thought
his intention in stealing the coat was
to pay his board, as he was in debt
to the lady with whom he boarded.
The evidence of arson was very con-
elusive, Butler being held on two
charges, in $1,000 bail for court. He
admits to stealing the coat, but denies
the other charge.

bright and cheerful all day, the
weight of century of years seeming
to rest lightly upon her. Conversing
freely with those about her she
showed that the hand of Time had
dealt kindly with her. No marked
impairment of her faculties was no.
ticeable. The day was spent in a
pleasant, social way, aad none enjoyed
the occasion more than the honored
matron. During the afternoon and
evening addresses were made by Rev.

were received by Mrs. Gator from
her friends. The gathering was en-
joyable alike TO the century-oId

blessings and good wishes all separ-
ated for their different homes.
