A CRISIS IN OHIO.

A Disruption of the Senate Caused by the
Hamilton County Contests Republic
ans, Under Governor Ken
nedy, Declare the Body Adjourned and
Democrats Reorganize Under the Presi-
dent Pro Tem-Each Claims to Be the
Legal Senate.
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 23.-The expected
crisis of revolution came in the State SEN
ate yesterday, and last night there were re-
ports that the police and militia will have
to be called out. Investigation shows,
however, that all the reports about Lieu
tenant-Governor Kennedy consulting with
Governor Foraker and Adjutant-G General
Axline, or with Mayor Walcott, to secure
support are entirely without foundation.
The fact, however, that the Senate chamber
wal the scene of a disgraceful row yester-
day can not be eontradicted.
Lieutenant-Governor Kennedy, the pre-
siding officer, is a Republican. There are
seventeen Republican Senators and twenty
Democratic Senator's. The pending ques-
ton was on the contests OF four of the
Democratic Senators from Hamilton, and
the issue wal on the ruling OF Kennedy that
the four could not vote on cues
lions involving the investigation into
their title to seats. This would leave the
Senate stand seventeen Republicans to six
teen Democrats. A motion had been made
to discharge the committee INVESTIGATING
the Hamilton County cases, and hear the
contests in open Senate. This was carried
by a vote of II to 16, or rather by a vote
OF IL to 0, as the Democrats refused to
vote. When the Chat held that the Cincin-
natl Senators could not vote on their own
cases, the last movement of the Demo.
Gratis, after the motion discharging the com.
mittee had been carried, was to demand a
call OF the Senate, and when all the mem.
bers had answered to their names the Chair
declared that, the object having been Sc.
cured, further proceedings under the call
would be dispensed with. He ordered the
clerk to note that certain Senators who
previously responded had been present and
refused to vote.
Then followed such tumult that the lob
by took as much part as the Senators, and
finally a Senator on the Republican side
moved to adjourn. The motion was put
and carried on Il viva voce vote. Lieuten.
a~nt-Goverpor Kennedy accordingly de.
clared the Senate adjourned till this
morning. He had no sooner left the
chair than Hon. John O'Neil, the
President pro tenn, took it and
the gavel fell. The other nine
teen Democratic Senators, who were about
to leave, resumed their seats and proceeded
to the routine business. After going
through the form Of getting out from un.
de1the call, by d motion the rump Senate
adjourned till Monday afternoon at four
p. H.. Both sides now claim to be the
true Senate OF Ohio.

about four miles from the city. 1t was re.
| Gently built at a cost of twelve Thousand
dollars. The fire, the origin of which is un.
known, broke out in the inmates's kitchen,
and the whole interior was destroyed. The
Thermometer at the time registered ten de.

John Dohcrty. the hired man, brought
three of the lunutics down the fire escape in
his rms thus saving theirlivcs. An imbe-
Gle boy, nineteen years of age, was
found in bed and was rescued by
means of the fire-escape. There were
only two men, besides the inmates,
about the place when the fire broke
out, and they rescued the inmates before
other help arrived. William Mills, one of
the inmates, was the man who first issued
Sanders spelling-book. At one time he
was worth $3.50 900.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Smith, the Keepers
OF the county house, told the story of the
fire as follows: Shorty after midnight Mrs.
Smith was awakened by IL noise which she
thinks was the falling plaster. She went to
the kitchen and found the mems dining.

in flames. Rushing back she seized her baby

the next room. She then vent to a neigh
boris to awake them. Mr.. Smith spranr
out of bed and, putting on a few clothes,
called the hired man and told him to call
the men, while he looked after the women.
Much trouble was had in getting the female
inmates out. Most OF the women had to
be forced or carried out, and all were res
cued uninjured except the five whose names
are given above.
The county house was built of brick and
two stories high, with basement. The in
terror departments were all wood. The fire
is supposed to have caught from q detective
chimney between the first and second
floors, where probably it had smoldered for
hours.

DENVER, Col, Jan. 25.-An Aspen special
to the Tribune Republican says that
Maroon Pass road has been the
scene of fearful loss during the re-
cent storm. The horrors of Thurs
day are intensified by the develop
ments OF Friday, which show the Pass to
be a s%now-bound tomb. While men were
hunting for bodies in Thursdays snow
lanche further up the canon took place at
Garrett, Sol Camp, Charles slut Tut
tie, Martin Riley, Jap Farris,
August Goodwin, Al Sons and Martin
Patterson were asleep in a cabin, which
was supposed to be sale, as it was built in
a grove of heavy timber, but when the
slide came down it snapped the trees as
though they were pipe-stems, hurting
them against the cabin and crushing
everything into a mass. Martin
Riley and August Goodwin had their backs
broken, and Riley was sufiocated. When
the slide struck the timber it divided, part
rushing across the gulch, burying a cabin
on the opposite side, occupied by three
men, without injuring them.
These men worked their way out at noon
and started to rescue their friends. Wedies
day evening, after cutting through mum
berless fallen trees, they effected an entrance
to the cabin and found three dead ard the
other five suffering terribly. Sol Camp lay
on his face dead. The body of Jap Farris
was pinioned across Che back by
heavy timbers. Riley died in five minutes
after the disaster. His dying commissions
nearly caused the death of a nan under
meath him. All the men alive were nearly
crazy when found. All were undressed and
had bitten themselves on the hands and
arms in their delirium, and presented q
sickening spectacle. They may all recover.
