Ohio Deadlock Broken.

COLUMBUS, May "a settlement!
of the Senatorial troubles, it is be-
lieyed, has at length been reached.
The absence ofthe Democratic men,
bers contributed to a result which If
was their purpose to avoid. Taxing
the counsel of Judge West, the Re-
publicans, after outlining their ac-
ton in caucus, met on Saturday.
The journal for each day sine Tues
day was read and approved, no OBJ
jections being offered, and then a
motion was adopted to take from
the table the report of the Republi-
can members ofthe Senatorial Com
mittee, which made the inquiry
into the October election frauds at
Cincinnati. The resolution accom-
panying the report, recommending
that the Republican claimants be
seated and take the oath of office,
was then adopted by a unanimous
riUa uoce vote. The four Republic
cans thereupon came forward, took
the oath of office, were assigned TO
seats, and entered upon their duties
as Senators.
None of the Democratic members
were present. Senator Van Cleat,
who had remained to look after
their interests, was out of town, and
there was nothing to interfere with
the Republicans carrying out their
program. Had he been present to
demand a call of the Senate and es-
tablish the fact that there was not a
quorum present the Republicans
would have been unable TO accom-
plish anything. There is nothing
on the journal to show that less than
a quorum vas present, and it is
claimed with confidence that the
record viii bear out the Republicans
in their course.

Blood Shed m Iowa.

DIES. MoINEs, May S.-The first
blood-shed over the attempted en-
forcement of the new prohibitory
law occurred here yesterday. A con-
stable named Pierce repaired to
South Des Moines with a warrant to
search the premises of Nym Wyatt,
who runs a billiard hall. His efforts
were rewarded b. the discovery of a
small keg of a beer in the cellar.
which he seized and carried to the
floor above. Here Mrs. Wyatt took
hold of the key and attempted 10
recover possession OF it, when Pierce
drew a revolver on her. Harry
Lloyd. employed upon the premises,
struck down his arm. The two men
%thereupon became engaged in q
struggle, which did not end until
they had tumbled out of doors and
rolled down an embankment, the
officer alighting uppermost, when be
put his pistol against Lloyd's body
and fired, following this with a ter
rife blow on the head with the re-
volver. The ball struck q rib and
glanced, following it around nearly
to the spine, where it lodged and was
extracted. The wound is probably
fatal.
After the shooting Pierce hastily
retreated. but was arrested and plac-
ed in Jail. Great excitemen followed
and a large crowd surrounded the
court house and freely talked OF
lynching. Forty armed men guard
ed the Jail all night and the militia
were kept under arms. 1t is thought
that Pierce is slightly demented. He
has made many enemies by his
methods of searching private houses
and other places for liquor.

OF course, the friends Of Major
Montooth, of Pittsburg, who is a
candidate for Lieutenant Governor.
do not want the old ticket re-nomi-
mated. but they are making a great
mistake in our opinion, by circulat-
ing through this county marked
copies Of the Chronicle Telegraph
containing an interview" OF Thorn
as 81. Marshal, Esq, in which that
robust old kicker threatens the Re
publican State Convention in ad-
vance, with a reorganization of the
Independents, a coalition with the
Democrats, and sundry other dire
consequences if Beaver and Davies
are nominated. A reference to the
returns Of the election in 1882 will
show that the Republicans of this
county "doa't scare worth a cent"
anG they only smile sardonically at
the rant of the venerable Thomas.
But If Major Montooth viii take

viii conclude, we thiak. that his
fool friends are not strengthening
his chances by blowing into a blaze
the slumbering embers of the unfor-
tunate revolt of 1882.

Ohio Legislators IA Hiding.

CHATTANOOGA, May S.-Fourteen
OF the twenty Democratic members
of the Ohio State Senate arrived in
this city to-day in a special car and
are occupying the car, which now
stands in the Cincinnati Southern
Railway yard. They left Columbus
secretly Tuesday night, met at Gov
ington, Kentucky, where they took
the car for Chattanooga in order to
get beyond the jurisdiction of a pro-
cess that might be issued to the Ser
geant-at-arms of the Senate. They
state that they are merely standing
by their constitutional rights and
have no intention or disposition to
obstruct legislation that the appro-
priation bill has been passed and all
important measures disposed of,and
they now leave the Senate to pre-
serve the Constitution of their State
and defeat the plans of scheming
politicians. They are firm in their
determination not to yield an inch
and will remain until a compromise
is effected.

Gen. Arthurs' Condition,

New YORK, May 9.-There was a
little change in the condition of ex-
President Arthur to-day He is not

that are exceedingly annoying, and
give rise to the belief that he is worse
But when they pass away his spirits

than his usual time, as he had not

irritability Of the digestive organs

TIE Democratic Senators of Ohio
have fled from Columbus and taken
refuge in adjoining States, where
they are free from arrest. Their OBJ
lect was to leave the Senate without
a quorum, so that the four Senators
from Hamilton county, who were
fraudulently returned as elected, can
not be turned out, and the legally
elected Republican members be CIV
en- their seats. This action is sim
ply revolutionary, and shows to
what extent Ohio Democrats will 60
to maintain q fraud that has been
clearly established. No stronger
proof could have been given by these
absconding Democrats, that they
have no faith in the Justice of their
cause. Having resorted to intimi-
dation and chicanery to prevent any
decision being made, as a last resort
they ran away and thus blocked the
wheels of Legislation. As the receiv-
er Of stolen goods, knowing them to
be stolen, is rs gsiltv as the thief,
so are these Senators as guilty OF
fraud as the seoundrels who forged
and altered the election returns.

So, the runaway Democratic mem
bers of the Ohio Senate bit off more
then they could chew. They de-
prived the Senate of a quorum, and
left a sentinel on guard, who follow
ing their tactics, also deserted his
post. The Republicans seized the
opportunity, adopted the report of
the committee which declared that
the Democratic claimants of Hamil-
ton County were not elected, swore
in the duly elected members and
thus secured the majority they are
entitled to. The runaways can now
come back and submit to the newt
able, or set up a rump Senate of
their own and attempt a revolution.
