THE persecution to which Hon. S. II.
RUSSELL was subjected seems not to
have interfered with his position, either
socially or professionally. His public
speeches are enthusiastically received,
and everyone seems anxious to testify
regard for him. In order to disgrace II
man it is necessary to do more than
close prison doors on him. The public
must be convinced of his guilt, and that
ii was something more than malice that
encompassed his conviction.

SPRINGFIELD, May l9.-In the joint
session Gen. John A. Logan was re-
elected United States senator.
In thejoint session of the legislature
there was great jam in the house, both
on the floor and in the galleries. Fifty
one senators were present, and 1853 rep
resentatives. When the vote was taken
a dead silence prevailed. The Demo
Gratis refused to vote. The Republican
senators all voted for Logan, giving him
70 votes. Ruger's vote was received
with cheers. When Sitting was called,
in long speech explaining his position,
he voted for Logan under protest. The
announcement was received with
cheers. This gave vote of l03 for Lo-
gan.
On the call OF the absentees the Demo-
Gratis voted solidly for Judge Lambert
Tree.

McAliney, Caldwell, Quinn and Crafts,
changed their votes to Charles B. Fars

John A. Logan, and the widest con-

This insures his election. The roll
call was proeeeded with, and after a
time the Democrats attempting to elect
Farwell (Republicsn) hoping to get some
Republican votes. Barry withdrew his
vote from Logan, but stated he would
not allow any other Republican but
Logan to be elected.

| The announcement OF LOgan's cleo.
ton has not yet been made. at this
hour the Democrats are changing to
Farwell and trying to drive all their
men in, but as all have not yet re-.
sponded and no Republican has shown
any inclination to leave Logan, he will
without doubt be elected.
LOGAN ELECTED AT LAST.
No republican support went to Farwell
and Speaker Haines finally announced
the vote declaring Logan elected.

Ii FOR FAIR WOMAN.
LOUISIANA LASS MARRIES HER
FATHER RS SLAYER.
Died Because He Was Too Poor to Marry
believed to Have Murdered His
HIother-in- lava Naiad
in Court Train.

BALTIMORE, May 25 Miss Ely Coghlan,
the well known actress, and sister to Miss
Rose Coghlan, who has been playing here|
for the past week as the "Naiad Queen" has
created quite sensation among the|
theatre -goers, and has lost her position
through her opposition to short skirts and
her refusal to wear the orthodox fairy cos
tune. Miss Coghlan is quite a pretty young
woman, and, as the Naiad Queen scored
quite success. The play opened here last
week and had been well patronized. Miss
Coghlans appearance in a long dress occa1
stoned some criticism, and Messrs. Mann
and Benoit, the managers, notified her that
the dress must be shorter. Her costume was
of handsome white satin, and she ordered il
shortened by some two inches; but when she
appeared Monday night the change was
scarcely perceptible. The following even
ing she was ordered to have the dress re-
duced to certain limit, which she de-
clined submitting to, and quite scene
|ensued, in which Miss Coghlan had resort to
tears. The crying made her sick, and after
the second act sLe asked leave to go home.
This was ref used, and she went any how and
was consequently discharged Her part was
taken by Miss Caldwell. and the play pro.
ceeded, The following evening she ap
peared, but was informed her place had been
filled by Miss Helen Widsor, bright and
accomplished lady from New York,
who had no objection TO wearing
fairy's costume. Miss Coghlan then de
manded her full salary for the week, but
this was refused her, receiving only her pay
for one performance. She has entered suit
for the whole amount, and has gone to New
York pending the hearing Messrs. Mann
& Benoit claim that they were perfectly jus
titled in discharging Miss Coghlan, and bel
