MADE A TIE BY DEATH,
The Two Parties in the Illinois Legis-
Iature Again Equally Strong.


SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, March Ex-senator
Bridges, the Democratic member of the
State Senate, who suffered from a stroke
of paralysis one month ago, and whose
condition ever since has been very criti-
cal, died at his home near Carrollton, this
morning. The death of Mr.. Bridges fol-
lowing that of Representative Logan three
weeks ago, leaves the Illinois Legislature
once more tie on joint ballot.
In joint assembly 100 members an
swered TO the roll call. The Democrats
alone voted. Mr.. Streeter voted for Mr..
Stevenson, and Mr.. Mulherin for Mr..
Ward. Mr.. Haines did not vote. Mr..
Morrison received SO votes. On the fourth
ballot, Mr.. BTachtendOrf changed to j. J,
Curran, Mr.. Considine to MIR. Black, Mr..
MahOney to Mr.. Harrison, and Mr.. Mar
shall to MIR. Palmer. This reduced Mr..
MOrrisOn's vote to "a on the fifth ballot.
Mr.. Dorman voted for Mr.. Curran, Mr..
Quinn for Mr.. Lawler, and Mr.. Haines
for Mr.. Merritt. On the sixth ballot
Morrison received 80, Ward 2, Black /,
Lawler 2, Downs l, Stevenson l, Palmer
l, and Merritt 2. The seventh and eighth
ballots were the same as the sixth, and
the joint assembly adjourned.
AN ELECTION ORDERED.
Gov. Oglesby to-day issued a writ
calling for an election to I'LL the place of
State Senator Bridges to take place in the
Thirty-seventh district Saturday, April
IL. A large number of members are
leaving for home tonight, and it is not
expected that any business will be done
tomorrow. Mr.. Morrison is reported to be
in very despondent mood tonight over the
death of Mr.. Bridges. Speaker Haines
told an Associated Press reporter tonight
that before he could be expected to sup
port Mr.. Morrison or any other Demo-
cratic candidate for election the lies
which have been told about himself and
Mr.. Streeter will have to be taken back.
His personal reputation has been injured,
and he proposes to have it righted. 1t is
said that Judge Powell is possible can
didate for Senator Bridges place.
PROHIBITION NOMINATION.
A Dixon In.) dispatch says Capt. John
c. Mckenzie, of Fulton, Whiteside coun-
ty, has been nominated by the Prohibition
lists for Representative from the Nine
cancy caused by the death of Hon. R. Z.
Logan. The nomination is looked upon
with distrust by the Republicans, who
believe that the Democrats have been
fused with the Prohibitionsts. Mr.. Nc
kenzie states, however, that he is not
running in coalition with the Democratic
party, and also says that if elected he
will vote for neither Gen. Logan nor Mr..
Morrison, but will vote for some tenn
perance Republican.

ATLANTA, March 2O.-The Louisvilles
and Atlantas occupied the diamond here
this afternoon, crossing bats before a good
audience, considering the weather, which
was cool and crisp. Ten innings were
required to decide the game, the ninth
inning closing with five runs to the credit
of both mines. On the decisive inning the
Atlantas passed out without scoring, and
the Louisvilles won on Browning's run.
The game was a good one in every re-
spect, both mines pulling hard for the su-
premacy. Cleveland, Of the Atlantas,
and Mclaughlin, of the Louisvilles, scored
home runs. Atlanta's stock is on boom.

RICHMOND, March 20.-There was no
investigation to-day into the case of r. J.
Cluverlus, charged with the murder of
Fannie Lillian Madison, whose body was
found in reservoir last Saturday. The
prisoner was brought before the Police
Court, but without examining any wit
ness the case was postponed until March
80, the common wealth's attorney stating
that owing to a press of business in his
cOurknext week he would be unable to
attend to this case. A cOlored barber at
the hotel where Miss Madison stopped
last Friday was in court and pointed
out the prisoner as a man he saw come
to the hotel and leaYe with Miss
Madison the same evening. CIuverius
yesterday stated that he did not see Miss
Madison at all during his visit here last
week. The court room was densely
crowded, and many persons were on the
sidewalk, being unable to get in. 1t was
with great difficulty that the police could
make their way through the crowd on
entering and leaving the court room. The
prisoner was remanded to iail.

A Marshals Disappearance

RICHMOND, VA, March 2O.-United
States Marshal r. P. Hughes, of this dis
trict, disappeared more than a week ago
and his whereabouts are unknown. An
investigation of the books in his office
shows an apparent shortage of from 81, 900
to $1,000. tits rumored that he has gone
to Manitoba, where he has an aunt who
is in affluent circumstances, and whom
he has visited at various times. Nothing
in Marshal Hughes actions since bis ap-
pointment, more than three years ago.
affords ground for the belief that he has
done wrong, although his Office business
is said to have been very loosely conduct
ed and his books to be in a very unsatis-
factory condition. He came Originally
from Mecklenburg county, where he has
wife and several children.

DUBLIN, March 2O.-Bishop Donnelly
has, it is reported, been summoned TO
Rome. The National leaguers are much
irritated over this report. On March 10
the Catholic clerical conclave of this
Archdiocese met and nominated three
candidates to succeed Cardinal McCabe
in the ArchbishOpric. OF these Bishop
Donnelly was named as the second
choice: The other two candidates
were DR.. Walsh, President of Maynooth
College dignissimus, and DIR. lyman
dignus. The names We're sent to Rome.
and 1t was hoped that DIR. Walsh would
be selected by the Vatican, because, in
addition TO his great learning and virtue,
his political leanings, the doctor being
a moderate Home Ruler, endeared him
to great majority of the Catholics in
ireland. Bishop DOnnelly, on the other
band, is a LOyalist, and his election is
discountenanced by the league. The
NatlOnalists fear, however, that Bishop
Donnelly has been chosen at Rome for
Cardinal McCabe's place, and they lootx
upon this as another instance of the
ascendency of British influence over the
Pope.

tion.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Misappre-
hensiOn appears to exist in regard to the
office of chief Of the appointment division
of the Treasury department. The pres
ent incumbent Of the office, MIR. Trevitt,
rendered his resignation about two weeks
ago, and it was accepted by Secretary
Manning to take effect April l, and Mr..
Trevitt was granted leave of absence till
that date. In the meantime Eugene Hig-
gins, Of Baltimore, was given a position
on the ''fraud Toll'' of the special agents
division, and assigned to duty as acting
chief of the appointment division, and it
is understood that he was promised the
office as soon as Mr.. Trevitt's
resignation shall have taken effect. A
question has arisen in connection with
tins Office which is receiving careful at
tentiOn. and which in its settlement is
liable to disarrange, or perhaps re-
arrange, the civil service rules
in relation to offices under the govern
ment, and which may prevent Mr.. Hig-
gins from receiving the appointment to
the Office for which he has been selected.
STAND OF THE COMMISSION.
The Civil Service Commission holds
that only those government officers are
service act who are nominated by the
President and confirmed by the Senate,
and few minor cases of officials holding
positions OF a financial or fiduciary ma
ture. Yet by rule 10 of the civil service
rules chiefs of divisions or bureaus are
exempted from examination. Chiefs of
bureaus are nominated by the President,
but chiefs Of divisions are not, and right
here is the hitch. An apparent incOnsis-

ON EQUAL FOOTING.
The chiefs of bureaus in the State De-
partment are Of equivalent rank with the
chiefs of divisions in other departments,
and IL the first are to be exempted it is
claimed that the others should be. Before
the close of the last administration an
effort was made to secure uniform clas-
sifcatiOn in all the departments in accord
ance with the intent of the act as con-
strued by the Civil Service Commission,
in which the chiefs of divisions should be
included. If Mr.. Higgins is permanently
appointed without examination to the
office for which he has been selected it is
claimed that it Will be in violation OF the
civil service law, but yet in perfect accord
with the rules as published by the Civil
Service Commission.
CLEVELAND'S ATTENTION CALLED TO IT.
The Star of to-day, in an article on this
subject, says:
