Fatally Shot by Burglars.

PIrTsBURG, Feb. 12.-William st. Clair,
proprietor of q gents furnishing store at
Williamsburg, a suburb of this city. was
fatally shot by burglars at 29O O'Clock this
morning. Mr.. st. Clair lives with his
family back of the store, and was awakened
by noise of something falling. AS he
opened the door leading to the store he saw
outlined against the light outside the forms
of two men. Before he could raise the
pistol to fire, the burglars shot twice at
him. He then returned the fire, following
them out to the street. AS he reached the
pavement. he was shot twice, one ball
entering the left leg and the other taking
effect in the left breast. The noise alarmed
the neighborhood, but before assistance
arrived the assassins had escaped. ST. Clair
was carried, unconscious. into the house
and a physician summoned, who pronounced
his wounds fatal. The borough police
were notified and the burglars tracked in
the snow for eight or ten miles, when all
traces of them were lost. st. Clair's store
was robbed about four months ago by two
thieves who were arrested and are now in
jail. 1t is believed that the burglars of this
morning are pals of the former house-break-

In a Strong Speech He Demonstrates His
Right To a Seat i'm the House.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12-Hon. Robert
Smalls, contestant for seat in Congress
from the Seventh South Carolina district.
whose case is being considered, made the
speech of the Fiftieth Congress in his own
behalf. Elliott, contestee, charges that
Smalls was unpopular, because of a con-
viction of the charge of bribery while q
member of the Senate in South Carolina.
Smalls affirmed his innocence, and his ex-
posure of the mode of his Indictment and
trial and the destruction of his appeal to
the Supreme Court of the United States
by an unsolicited pardon by ths
Democratic Governor, was convincing and
crushed out every vestige of valid claim
that Elliott can make. He spoke one hour
and quarter, and was given afine hearing.
His speech bristled with facts, and each
point was clinched and riveted fast There
are two leading points in the contest:
Smalls received over twelve hundred ma
jority of the legal votes cast OF the votes
returned by the election boards. Smalls hard

threw out enough precincts to give the GER
where o free and undisputed election was
held, and where every man who desired to
vote did vote, was thrown out because tho
polls did not open until 10 A. NJ. while an
other was counted which did not open until
noon. The former was overwhelmingly Re-
publican, the latter Democratic. The other
point is this: In one precinct, where the
Republican majority was over 800, the
Democrats, who, under the laws, have all
the election officers, moved the pols for
Congressman six miles, to place known as
the Brick Episcopal Church. and all the
votes were rejected because the voters did
not have certificate of registration 10 vote
at the church in addition to the one author
izing them to vote in the township. The
law does not require duplicate certificates
of registration. Mr.. Smalls offered his own
in evidence, and showed that in his pre-
cinct he voted at one poll for county and
State officers, and at another poll, moro
than mile away, he voted for Congress-
man, and yet no one there was ever re-
quired to have two certificates. To refuse
to seat Smalls upon the evidence in the
record will be an outrage upon the people
of the Seventh South Carolina district.
Smalls made many friends by his able
speech.

ROME, Feb. 12.-The Pope, in his allocu-
cution, after declaring that the negotla-
tiOns between Russia and the Vatican are
progressing satisfactorily and will soon be
concluded, deals atlength with the position
of the church in the modern world. He
says that it is now more than ever neces-
sary for the powers to make common cause
with the church by reason of the perils by
which they are threatened, proof of which
was afforded by the recent unfortunate dis
turbances in Rome. Arms alone, the
progress of military science and the per-
fecting of weapons of destruction are in
sufficient. Moreover, even though it is per-
mitted to employ arms in self-defense,
nature does not tolerate might being held
sufficient surety for right. Peace must be
preserved by rendering to each what be-
longs to him, and strictly adhering to the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The computa-

to the probable effect on the revenues of

have been made public. They show that
