PRIVATE CLERKS.
Opposition in the House to the Resolution for
Their Appointment.

IheIr AppOlnment.
Special to the indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-There is no chance of
the House passing the resolution to give each of
its members private clerk, to be paid out of
the contingent fund. The Democratic members
especially are against it, They say that it is
nothing more nor less than increasing members
salaries by subterfuge. There is going to be
pretty fight between the House and Senate
about the latter's private secretaries. These
secretaries are paid out Of the Senate contingent
fund, which is included in the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill. When that
bill comes up there will be put onto it, by the
House, clause prohibiting any money being
used to pay senator's private secretaries This
will bring the Senate right to its feet, and will
doubtless result in deadlock.

iOus, and that there is no necessity for the en-
actment of additional legislation.

CHICAGO, Nov. 17.-An extraordinary
surgical operation was performed recently al
the Mercy hospital i'll this city by city
physician. Some six months ago
the subject of the operation swallowed caustic
ammonia, presumably by mistake. The re-.
sultwas that the lower part of his gullet was
liberated or cauterized, and became con.
tracted, and the stomach began to suffer
The sufferer was Threatened with starvation
as he could not swallow food of any kind
He was then placed under treatment, and
the doctor succeeded by the use of instru-
mentS in opening the gullet sufficiently tc
permit the passage Of liquid food, such as
raw eggs, milk, etc. The patient be-
Geving after time that he could depend
on himself, withdrew from the hospital;
but, either through lack of care or through
NERVOUSNESS, was not able to use the inStru-
ments as recommended by the doctor il
opening the foOd-paSSage or SwallOw-pipe
He had to return to the hospital, and the
doctor failed in all efforts to open the gullet
so as to admit of food of any kind. AS q
last resort he made an iuciSion in the ablo-
men directly over the stomach, and by the
use Of the forcepS pulled the latter organ
through the wound, sowing it to the skin tc
keep it in the required position He then
cut into the stomach, inserting a tube
through which porridge, milk, eggs, and
food of a like nature have been introduced
1t is now five weeks since the operation de
scribed was performed and the patient has
daily grown stronger The doctor fears tina
the external opening will have to be perma.
nent, though he has has hopes that the gul-
let may yet be opened sufficiently to permit
of the sufferers taking food in the natura!
way The case as might be expected,
attracted great attention from the medical
profession.

SYRACUSE, n. Y, Nov. IA state of ter
ror prevails among the farmers near Cato,
Cayuga county, on account of barn burners
and many Of them now remain on guard
every night thoroughly armed. Within a
year six barns and one dwelling have been
burned in one neighborhood and several at
tempts at arson have been frustrated. 1t is
asserted that this destruction of property
arises from the division of the community
into bitter factions over the case
of Florence Brown against Morris
Campbell. The Browns and Campbells are
neighbors. About year ago, it is alleged
farmer Brown discovered an intimacy ex
isting between his daughter and Campbell.
The latter was indicted, it being alleged that
he was connected with a case of criminal
malpractice, Of which Miss Brown was the
victim. The jury stood eleven to one fol-
conviction after q two weeks trial. in which
all the neigborhood got by the ears. The
case has not been retired. Soon after this
affair the mysterious fires began.

Rrutnl Double NInrler-

CHIcAGoA, Nov. T.-News reached the
city Saturday afternoon Of double murder
near DeSplaines station on the Northwestern
road Three mics south of Desplaines
in the town of Maine lived a farmer
named John Danlon and his wife
md their son, a boy aged 10 years. At
o'clock Friday evening two unknown tramps
entered the house, it is supposed, for the pur-
pose of robbery, and when Danlon desired
them to go, they attacked him, and,
his wife interfering, she was struck
with club and killed almost instantly.
Tho murdererS then dubbed her husband so
brutally that he isnot expected to survive
his injuries. The lad escaped. He
describes the tramps as young man aged
about 25 and an old one aged about
60. Only a meager account of the
tragedy could be obtained up to the
time of writing. The murderers are
still at large, but the country is aroused, and
it is believed they will be captured before
long. If they are caught anywhere in
the vicinity of their crime they will stand a
first-rate chance of being lynched.

says: There have been many signs of an in

positions by walters, and colored people are
asking for work everywhere This is due to
the emigration from the south. The negroes
there have fear that Democratic success

has this belief been "born and bred" in them
that they are leaving for the north every
