Senator Renna Beaten.

A BREAK AMONG THE WEST VIRGINIA DEMO
CRATs-THE REPUBLICANS HOPEFUL.
A Charleston, W. Va, special to the Balti-
more American says: The first break in the
democratic column has appeared, and it has
sealed the fate of Senator Kenna, if it does not
ensure Goffs election as governor. Delegate
ID. NJ Starr, the union labor candidate from
Marion county, refuses to go into the demo-
cratic senatorial caucus or agree to be bound
by its decision. His action is the more signi-
ficant. as the senatorial caucus is at least a
week off, and the democratic leaders consider
it final notice that he does not intend to sup
port Kenna.
Judge Fleming and his friends considered
that they had secure claim on him, in the
fact that he was miner and an employe of
Flemings mine. He was the one that made
up their majority on joint ballot, and with his
revolt that majority is wiped out. There will
be more to follow Starr.
The republican leaders sent their ultimatum
to Judge Fleming's friends to-day It was to
the effect that they would never organize the
senate until the democrats consented to de-
claration Of COTS election as the law plainly
provides. The proposal was rejected and an
other day was spent in deadlock. The
greater part of the time was consumed in a
heated debate over resolution calling on the
democratic Senators to withdraw and meet the
house in Joint session. The democrats had their
suppers brought in, hoping to starve out their
opponents. but failed The democrats in the
house have inaugurated their contests to un-
seat two republican members. Their action is
in direct violation of the law, which prohibits
the Transaction Of any business before the joint
session Is held. 1t was carried through by q
strict party vote. It II expected that these
contests win take mp the time Of the house foz
at least week.

FUNERAL OF MRS. GOULD.
Very Simple Services at the Residence
i'm New York This Morning.


New YORK, Jan. 16.-Every effort was made
to-day by the sorrowing members of the
Gould family to have the funeral services of
Mrs. Gould conducted as privately and quietly
as possible. The residents of the immediate
neighborhood were evidently in sympathy
with the family, as all the blinds were drawn
down. Those who came to attend the funeral
approached the 5th avenue mansion on foot,
having left their carriages some distance away.
Miss Helen Gould. who was so closely identi-
fed with her mother in the charitable works
IN which the deceased was engaged, did not re-
tire last night The young lady kept lonely
vigil over the remains of her parent through
the night. while the other members of the fam
lily sought much needed repose.
The body was laid in the front parlor. Ii
was encased in a plain black cIoth-covered
casket with unique silver handles. Flowers
were scattered over the lid of the casket and
at Its head and foot were floral emblems On
the silver plate was the inscription, Helen
Day Gould" The attendance at the service
was not large. Mr.. Gould did not appear
among his friends but remained with his fam
lily in one of the recesses of the stairway. Just
above where the services were conducted A
quartette sang, asleep in Jesus" and Rev.
DIR. J. r. Paxton read the Episcopal service for
the dead. Rev. DR.. Jno. Il. Terry then offered
prayer and the services concluded with the
singing of a HYMN. The family and clergy
men only remained after the services. The in
terment will take place this afternoon.
About an hour after the services the remains
were taken to Woodlawn cemetery for inter-
ment. Following the hearse was carriage
containing Mr.. Gould and his daughter, Miss
Helen Gould. In the next carriage were the
other members of the family-George. Eddie.
Frank. and Hannah. Several other relatives
occupied four other carriages.

THE "SUNDAY REST, BILL.
A Flood of Petitions from the w. c.
Il. u. Praying for its Passage.

The prevailing tint of the Senate to-day was
red, and at first glance an observer in one of
the galleries might have imagined that some
one who had been engaged in giving the city
a coat of carmine had extended his con-
tract a little and taken in the Sen
ate also. On the majority of the desks
there was at least one roll of
red material-some of the desks were adorned
with half dozen. Nobody seemed to know
what the rolls contained, and there was con-
siderable anxiety in the press gallery until the
first of the cylinders was sent to the desk of
the secretary. 1t proved to be petition pray
ing for the passage of the Sunday rest" bill;
and that's what they all were.
SENATOR AFTER SENATOR,
as rapidly as possible. relieved his desk of the
petitions, and the pages piled them upon the
secretarys desk until the identity of that sedate
looking piece of furniture was completely lost
in unmistakable resemblance of the bargain
counter of big dry goods store that wanted to
get rid Of its surplus stock of winter under
wear.
Nearly all of the memorials were submitted
without any especial remark from the Senator
whose constituents had charged him with the
duty df seeing that it arrived at its proper
destination.
SENATOR CAMERON SMILED
quietly when he read the title of the petition,
and in his minds eye he could probably see
all the trains on the Pennsylvania road stand
ing empty and idle on every Sabbath day.
Senator Chandler secured the insertion in
the Record of the names of few of the more
prominent signers on the New Hampshire pc
titions which had fallen to his lot.
SENATOR RIDDLEBERGER OPPOSED TO THE BILL.
Senator Riddleberger, however, made a
speech when he hauled in the somewhat bulky
roll that had for some time obstructed his view
of the presiding officer. He said that while he
presented the petition and believed heartily
in the right of petition. yet he wanted to put
himself on record as being unalterably opposed
to any such legislation. Mr.. Riddeberger was
listened to by the Senators, and he secured an
especial amount of attention from the ladies'
gallery, in which were seated a number of
members of the Woman's Christian Temperance
union, the organization which put the petit
tions in circulation.
The signatures on the petitions are said to
represent IA. ia. 734 people.

From Wall street To-Day.

NEW YORK, Jan. l6, IL a. m.-The London

this market did not fully respond to the good
feeling on the other side, first prices here be-
ing somewhat irregular, although generally
from to g per cent higher than last even
ing's figures. There was less animation than
during the previous days at that time of day,
and the business done was more than usually
confined to few leading shares, among which
Atchison, Reading. Erie, Lackawanna. and
st. Paul were most prominent The tone OF
of the early trading was fairly firm, and most
of the stocks traded in showed advances over
first figures of small fractions Atchison lead
ing; but the weak point in the list was Lacka-
wanna, which retired 9 per cent. The mar
ket became stationary toward the end of the
hour, and at IL O'Clock il was quiet and steady,
generally at slight fractions better than the
opening figures.

THE ANTI-BLAINE MOVEMENT.
His Adversaries Dispirited but Still
Pegging Away.

The anti Blaine men, though a good deal
disheartened by the growing indications that
Mr.. Blaine is to go into the cabinet, are still
making Jealous efforts to keep him out. They
will evidently leave nothing undone the doing
of which they think will injure his chances of
preferment.
Some of the anti Blaine members of both
houses of Congress have dug up the old Peru
vian claims scandal that was investigated by
the House committee during the Forty
Congress, and are attempting to show to Gen.
Harrison that Mr.. Blaine's association with
the matter was too intimate for dis
Secretary of State. great deal was said at
the time about this Peruvian business and the
connection of Walker Blaine and Senator
Blair with it attorneys for the company.
Mr.. Blaine, the elder was before the COM
mittee, and at that time the famous tilt be-
tween him and Perry Belmont occurred.
About a week ago some Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress who want to keep Blaine
out of the cabinet caused a search to be begun
among the files of the State department re-
lating to these Peruvian claims, in the hopes
of finding something which, in connection with
the developments at the investigation, might
turn new light on the subject. They have
gathered all the information on the subject
which could be construed to reflect upon Mr..
Blaine, and have SENT or intend to send, at
once paper on the subject to General Harri-
son an argument why Mr.. Blaine should not
be made Secretary of State. The searches
the way of securing evidence smirching Mr..
Blaine, but the investigators appear to think it
will tend to show at least that he would not be
a discreet Secretary OF State.
