Wednesday it was quite generally talked
or, and two or three hundred persons viz
tied the house during the alter noon. The
shocks began at l 80 and CO.. tInupd un il
$40. A gentleman visited the house
Wednesday evening at 80 and remained
about fifteen minutes, during which time
al least q dozen shakes occurred, six Of
which were stronger than any he has ever
felt, except the tirst one, Aug. 81. The
Rev. John ID. Pitts, the Rev. +. n. Frier-
son and ). f. Todd were al the house. They
all, as well as many others who came and
went, expressed them elves as being sat
listed that the shakes were genuine earth
quakes. Mr.. Pitts, who had epent about
two hours IN the house, said that there
had been at least seyenty-lye quakee, not
counting slight tremoTs. No one has
offered any explanations. There are
houses within 100 wards, aud nothing Of
the KIND has been felt. 7. +, simpson,
who lives next door 10 Mr.. Anderson, says
that no quakes have been felt at his
house, except such as were felt through
out the town.

plosion. Several of the company's
officials and expert boiler-makers
and mechanics were examined be-
fore the jury, and all were of the
opinion that the boiler was in a nor
NAL condition at the time of the ex.
plosion.
The company officials said that
the company felt anxious TO bear
their just and reasonable share Of
the disaster.
The jury found verdict shortly
after four clock and were then dis
missed. The verdict found that the
deaths of Peter Burke, john Detem-
pei and John King were caused by
the explosion of locomotive engine
No. 35l. Burke had been killed in
stantly while the other two were
fatally wounded by the same explo-
sion, and died later The explosion
had occurred on the right hand side
of the boiler about one foot from
the center Of the bottom seam. The
cause of the explosion was that the
safety-valye or "pop-off" bad in
some way been impaired so that the
steam rose above 12s pounds and
had thus caused the explosion.
The officials have gone back to
Milwaukee. They assure those con-
cerned that the company feel dis
posed to act fairly in the matter.

long as these papers remain buried
in the files of Departments, office
seekers will remain in ignorance of
the deception practiced upon them.
Most of the Democrats concede
that the Senate has right to ask
for information relating to appoint
ments, but they hold that any pa
pers containing charges against
incumbents who have been removed
cannot properly be called for. Yet
all through the campaign they said,
"turn on the lights and turn the ras-
Gals out" The Republicans hold
that if dismissed officials had char
ges brought against them, their per
sonal and party friends have a right
to know what they were, for the
"Reform Administration" said, no
one should be moved Except for

Senators refuse to abandon their
secret sessions. Gen. Logan tested
this question fully a few days since.
He proposed that all executive bust
ness be considered with open doors,
hereafter, introducing resolution
to that effect lie held that the PEG
pie had as good right to know
what was said and done in the Senate
in regard to nominations as in regard
to legislation, that they were equally
interested in both. He said that
while he never violated the injunc-
ton of secrecy, he was willing to
have everything he said or did in
executive session published to the
world.
There was a great deal of conster-
nation at this attack upon an ancient
precedent, and loud protests were
heard from both sides of the
Chamber. Only one Senator, Van
Wyack of Nebraska, supported Gen.
Logan, and he withdrew his resolu-
ton finding there was no hope for It.

Death of Joseph Rankin.


The not unexpected news of the
death of Joseph Rankin, representa-
tive in congress Of the Fifth district
Of this state, was received last Sun
day. His health has been failing
for over year past, and he was
obliged last winter to spend the
greater partofthe season in the south.
For some months his friends had
nearly abandoned all hope of his re-
covery, and when he left the state,
at the beginning Of last December,
it was with little expectation of re-
turning alive.
Mr.. Rankin was native Of New
Jersey, and in the SD year Of his
age. He came to this state 50 years
ago, and setsled in Manitowoc coun-
ty, where he has since made his
home. During the war he served
three years in the Union army. In
the state Legislature he had long
experience, having been elected to
the assembly five times, and to the
state senate four times. lie served
one term in congress before the
present one, having been first elected
in 1882. He was supeme in the
councils of the Democratic party to
which he belonged, and they will
seriously feel his loss. His chief
regret in regard to his illness and
its inevitable result, which he knew
from the beginning, was that he
could not serve, in the matter of
Federal appointments, his Democrat
ic friends, with whom he had long
labored while his party was out Of
power.
Without any pretensions as pub
lie speaker, Mr.. Rankin had shrewd
knowledge of men, and welded a
large influence over those with whom
he was associated by his practical
good sense, his frank and cordial
manners, and his kindly and gener-
Gus traits of character. He was
strong partisan, but at the same time
always on friendly personal terms
with his political opponents. lie
had few if any enemies, and bis
death will cause profound sorrow in
the state where he was so generally
known and esteemed. During his
long illness, and with full knoWl-
that there was no hope of recovery,
he preserved his cheerfulness to
remarkable degree, and almost
shocked his friends sometimes by
droll illusions to his approaching
dissolution, as when, on the occasion
of drawing seats in the house last
December, he said he did not expect
to occupy one much, but he hoped
to get one that wsuld "look well
when it was draped." Such remarks
were not made by him in spirit Of
brayado, but were characteristic Oh
Il natural vein of humor which
formed a part Of the man. HJteaa-

way has been provided for getting
it. The state expenses of Ohio for
all purposes are about 100000 a
year, but the estimated receipts for
the coming year are about $4,000
600. Democratic fnanciering is a
mixture of stupidity and dishonesty,
with some uncertainty as to which
is the predominant element.

TsE u. S. Senate is about to in

PAYNE, of Ohio, secured his election

by bribery and corruption in the
Ohio Legislature, and that there is

clared vacant.

lFrom apothor eorrespondent.l }

WAsHINGToN, JAN. ga rather
lively debate arose the other day in
the House upon the bill to increase
widows pensions from IS to $l2
per month. Mr.. Reagan, of Texas,
bitterly opposed it, and claimed that
those who advocated it were doing
so mainly to maintain their political
supremacy-to curry favor with the
soldier element, in other words. The
time might come when public opin-
ion would revolt at giving away the
money Of the toiling millions in this
way. "What are we coming TOP"
asked Mr.. Reagan. Mr.. Matson, Of
Indiana, in reply, said; On all kind
ness to my friend, say he ought to
have though about this long ago"
Abiding of course to the fact that
Mr.. Reagan had done his full share
as a Confederate in making these
widows.
Yesterday the sectional question
came to the front. Again on the
resolution inquiring into the alleged
erasures of inscriptions and dis
charge Of Union soldiers from the
Norfolk Navy Yard, and by much
the liveliest tussle of the session
took place. This seems to be very
small matter, scarcely worth the
time and feeling layished upon it.
1t shows clearly, however, that the
passions which led to and were en-
gendered by the war are still upper
most in the minds of men. Mr..
Wise, speaking for the South, spoke
of the willingness with which they
voted pensions to "your soldiers"
"Your soldiers!m Your soldiers" de-
manded Mr.. Read. Say "our sol
diers,' prompted the Democrats
nearest Mr. Wise, who promptly ac-
cepted the amendment. He hit
pretty hard, however, by saying that
the only Union soldier removed
from the yard was removed at the
instigation of Mr.. Malone, because
Of his failure to support that doughty
warrior. at is sad, indeed, that
| Union soldiers are thus brought I'M
der the lash Of Confederate Briga-
diers," he sarcastically remarked.
The resolution, with TIE amendment
extending the inquiry to the preyi-
I ous management, was finally passed,
The Democrats tried to prevent de-
/ bate on the resolution, which led to
sharp exhibition Of tactics-diyi-
/ sion df the House-the ayes and
+ noes on the resolution, and finally
/ ea 3f the House and a general
groua up" Of absentee members.
/ Their excuses when brought to the
/ bar OF the House led to some very
funny scenes.
