The lightning calculator Of the North
western league. Secretary Quin, OF Milwau-

Minneapolis and four Eau Claire games are
not reported, and in these thirty games
every one of the clubs is interested. The

Matthews, denomination.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The nomina-
ton of James G.. Matthews (coloredl, to
be recorder of deeds for the District of Co.
lumbia, which was one of those sent to the
senate to-day. was referred to the commit
tee on the District of Columbia. 1t is said
to have been accompanied by message
from the president giving his reason for
sending in a second time the name of man
whose nomination the senate had once re-
jected. 1t is reported that the message,
after reciting the fact of the first nOmina-
ton and rejection. states that'a large num-
Der of persons in the District had conceived
prejudice against Matthews. which fact
doubtless influenced the action of the SEN
ate; that Matthews had now been in office
several months and had proven his capacity
by reScuing the records of the Office from
loss. and that his management of the Office
had had the effect of removing much of the
opposition which formerly existed. For
these reasons, and protesting an earnest de-
sire to cooperate in securing for colOred
men just recognition, he ventures in the
utmost good faith TO send in the nomina-
ton again, disclafming, however. any in
tentiOn of questioning the previous action
of the senate III the premises.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-In the house.
O'DonnelI, of Michigan, from the COM
mittee on ventilation and acoustics, re-
ported a resolution directing daily cleaning
of the ventilating pipes leading to the hall
of the house. In its report the committee
says:
1.-THE great American habit of eXpectorat-
ing is fully etemplifed OH the part of the
memners of this branch of the law making
department of the government, and your
committee reluctantly, mournfully, but
firmly. cOnfesses itself unable to devise
measures which will put an end TO this
reprehens!ble practice-a practice that lowers
the dignity OF tnis august assembly and
impairs the health and well being of the
servants of the public. Attention IS directed
to the fact that there is in this chamber 2l6
nickel-plated cuspidors, furnished by the
munificence of the nation with the sole
design Of being employed for the purposes
for which they are provided; but, for some
reason unknown 10 your committee. they are
ignored. aud the perforations in the br ass
ventilati ons employed as the receptacles OF
expectorations."
Mr.. Buchanan, of New Jersey, said that,
notwithstanding the language OF the re-
port. the question of cleaning the venti-
lating pipes was very serious one to mem
berS seated in the center of the hall. The
air they had to breathe came up through
the openings, and these openings were
minute by minute defiled in the manner
spoken of in the report. The air would
also be improved if the practice of smoking
was discontinued. especially as the quality
of cigars used was not always of the best.
Mr.. Gibson. of West Virginia. criticised
the committee for rejecting in its report Oh
the habits and manners and decency of
members of the house. He suggested that
the report should be referred to the COM
mittee on civil service reform. which was
engaged in cleaning all the departments of
the government. The motion was adopted

.Fraudulert Failure.

NEW YORK. Dec. 21.-IG the special
term of the supreme court to-day. Judge
Van Brunt gave decision that the assign
ment of the firm of Kessuth Marx & Co..
the well known Maiden Lane jewelers. and
diamond dealers, made in September. 1885.
was null and void. He declared it to be
the consummatlon of scheme to defraud
their creditors, who were chiefly foreigners,
and ordered it to be set aside OH those
grounds. The firm was composed Of three
brothers, KeSSuth, AdOlphus and Jacob
Marx. The firm failed iii that month for
81. 600, 600. The failure created considerable
excitement. both here and abroad in the
trade. Attachments were at once procured
against the property of the hrm. and suits
were brought to set aside the assignment,
on the ground of fraud. by both home and
foreign creditors. They had extensive,
foreign dealings. jacques Myers and other
London creditors joined in the suits and
he case was tried by Judge Van Brunt last
month. HIS decision gwen to-day states
that, while there is no direct proof that the
firm paid certain claims evidently fraudu-
lent, yet circumstances point that way, and
indicate that the firm had made long prep
arationS for the assignment. In the spring
of 1885 the firm had purchased $3.50. 600
worth of goods abroad and had not paid for
them. They were imported and the pro-
ceeds paid up old debts. He said the firm
had protected friends and relatives at the
expense of others abroad. The individual
members of the firm drew heavily for eX-
penSes. The notes of Charles Rausch. a
debtor. were accepted and he was released
from payment on the notes. Their system
of bookkeeping was doctOred to deceive.
All of the circumstances. to the mind of the
court. were suspicious. therefore his decision
was against the validity of the assignment.

snug up to the reserved seats to give the
