The Illinois S5natorship.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE Daily News
Springfield, Ill.,, special says: The two par
ties in the State Legislature have been
watching each other closely to-day, each
hoping to reap some advantage at the meet
ing to morrow to ballot for United States
Senator. The democrats held caucus to-
night and decided TO force ballot to-mor-
row if possible. The democrats have heard
from all their members and expect to have
every one here by noon tomorrow. The
republicans on the other hand, have nine
men from whom they have not heard and
who ara probably showed in, besides Sena-
tor Brown, who is sick The dispatch also
asserts that is the intention Of the demo-
Gratis to secure vote, if possible, in both
houses, separately, and then proceed to a
Joint ballot with the assurance of SUCCESS,
holding that bare majority Of the votes
cast will elect and that majority of the
members elected is not necessary.

A NIGHT OF HORRORS. The 300 inhabi-
tants of Jones Island, desert strip of land
in Lake Michigan at the mouth Of the Mil
waukee river, narrowly escaped destruction
Tuesday night. On the lake shore of the
island the ice is piled ten feet high and on
the opposite side huge snow drifts are piled
one after another. A fearful gale ragged on
the lake, and the waves began washing
over the icy barriers. The people were
aroused by the flood, and many narrowly
escaped death trying to cross the ice to the
main land. The ice was found broken, and
they had to return. They were thoroughly
drenched by wading through the sIush, ice,
aud water, knee deep. When it was found
escape was cut off they repaired to the Sec
ond stories of Lhe larger houses, and
wherever they could perch out of reach of
the water. The night was one Of horror,
aud the sufferings of the poor people were
e1cruciating as the mercury was 1s0 below
zero. The gale subsidized by daylight, and
the angry water receded. Many Of the
people were almost crazsd by fear and
their terrible suferings. 1t was almost
miracle that no lives were lost.

Colliery Explosion.

HALIFAX, n. s., Feb. 11.-At 9 O'Clock
last night an explosion occurred in the old
pit of Vale colliery, Westyille, Pictou. The
severe storm of yesterday and last night &C.
riously interfered with the telegraphic SER
vice and little more than the bare fact ofthe
casualty can be obtained. In this city it is
rumored that there were 100 men in the
mine at the time, but from New Glasgow it
is reported that the people there had heard
OF only Is being down. The latter report is
likely to be nearer the truth, as New Glas.
