THE GOVERNOR OF OHIO
CALLS ON THE RANDALL CLUB AC-
CORDING TO PROMISE.

More Than a Thousand Democrats and
Republicans Throng the Club Rooms
and Shake the Hand of Governor
CampbeIl-He is the Guest of the
Club for Five Hours-The Matter
Said Nothing that lad Any Hand Hold.
PITTsBURG, March 1s.-More than a
thousand Democrats and considerable
sprinkling of Republicans-among the
latter Mayor McCallin, of Pittsburg, and
Mayor Pearson, of Allegheny, Judge
Slagle, and others too numerous to men,
tion-says The Pittsburg Dispatch,
thronged the rooms of the Randall club
Campbell, of Ohio, by the hand, the oc-
casion being the return game, the first
being played by the Randnl club at Co
lumbus on the occasion of Governor
Campbells Inauguration.
The matter was entirely social, and all
efforts to draw the distinguished guest
out on the subject of the Ohio gerryman-
der and the McComas bill were futile.
He talked freely, but showed his ability
to talk and say nothing that had any
hand-hold to it, except by implication.
Governor Campbell arrived at Union
station on the 7:10 p. m. train, where he
was met by the reception committee.
Taken to the Club Rouse.
The distinguished guest was escorted
to the Seventh Avenue hotel, where, after
being refreshed, he was escorted to the
club house on Sixth avenue, arriving
shortly after O'Clock, and handshaking,
congratulation and repartee filled the
time for three hours. The floral decora-
tions of the room were fine, and the
governor was received in a style that
evidently made him feel safe from the
start. Each member of the club, and
many beside, wore roses-red or white
in the lapels of their coats, and the bust
of Grover Cleveland showed up gor-
geouSly, also decorated in the same man.
ner.
President F. J. Weixell introduced
Governor Campbell generally, and then
the guests filed past him, taking his
hand as they passed. The greeting was
cordial, but brief, except when Governor
Campbell stopped to warn Judge Magee
not to attempt to sit down on the beer
men, as it had been tried with disastr-
GUS results in Ohio.

THE TARIFF ON WOOL.

David Harpster, President of the Ohio
Wool Growers Association, and Judge
William Lawrence, a member of the
same association, have prepared for pub
lication the following statement, explain
atory of the wool schedule in the tariff
bill, now under consideration by the
House Committee on Ways and Means:
"We have examined for the first time
to-day schedule X, providing duties on
wool and manufactures of wool, prepar
ed by Hon. William Mckinley, Chairman
of the House Committee on Ways and
Means, and his associates on the COM
mittee, and heretofore agreed to. Itpro-
poses duty of II cents per pound on
clothing wool, double on washed and
treble on secured; on combing wool II
cents per pound, and treble on secured
wool; unwashed carpet woods of the
value of II cents or less, including
charges at the last port of export, the
duty to be 81 cents, and if washed z
cents, if secured 81 cents; on carpet
woods valued at over II cents the duty
on unwashed is s cents, double if washed
and treble if secured. 1t provides for
standard samples to be deposited in the
custom houses, and contains provisions
to prevent round lot frauds, sorting
frauds admixture frauds and defines
washed and secured woods.
As TO so-called carpet woods, the pro-
posed provisions are much better than
were ever incorporated in any tariff law,
and these are the woods that Just now
are injuring the wool industry of the
United State more than any other, We
learn upon reliable authority that under
the law as it now stands IS per cent of
the carpet woods being imported will
make excellent clothing, such as was used
by our soldiers during the war, and that
if shaggy goods continue to increase in
fashion as they have during the past two
years, Is per cent Of the carpet woods
imported will be used for clothing, and
further, that if clothing wool can be i'm
ported as carpet wool at p cents, the
duty of II cents on clothing wool will
not be operative; that if the cost of
merinO is too far above the cost of carpet
woods, manufacturers will abandon the
use of merinO wool to some extent for
the cheaper carpet wool, thus bringing
down the price of merino wool.
"The farmers of the United States and
the people generally whose prosperity is
dependent on the success of our agricul-
tuIal industries are to be congratulated
on the fact that Major Mckinley and
those cooperating with him on the
Committee of Ways and Means, have
proposed measure of such immense
value. The proposed duty is an increase
of l cent per lb.on clothing and combing
woods over the present law. The Senate
bill which passed Jan. p, 1889, proposed
4 cents on carpet wool whether washed
or unwashed, but the rates of the pro-
posed bill of B cents on unwashed with
the higher rates on washed and secured
make it much better for wool growers
than the Senate bill.

A FIRE broke out in large building
occupied as book store in Indianapolis
on Tuesday afternoon, and for two hours
the fireman worked to extinguish the
flames, which were not visible and were
difficult to locate Entrance to the build
ing could not be gained owing to the
dense smoke until the fire was supposed
to be extinguished, when many firemen
assembled the roof and others entered the
building. The danger was thought to
be over when without warning the walls
collapsed, burying the firemen in the
ruins Ten were taken out dead, and
fifteen persons more or less injured were
taken from the debris. Others are suppos-
ed to be buried under the mass of ruins.
The fire had eaten hole in the center
of the building and left the walls without
support. The scene at the location of
the accident is described as appalling.

THURSDAY. MARCH 20, 1890.

THE inflictiOn of Democratic Legis-
lature on any State is deplorable mis-
fortune, but with the species of waller"
dog Legislatures the State of Ohio has
been peculiarly cursed. The breed seems
to be incapable of improvement, and
manifests features of retrogressiOn with
each succeeding elevation TO authority.
The only, ly,commendable characteristic of
the animal is that il can not survive for
a period of more than two years. but dies
of strangulation at the polls. \ Sena-
torship sold, an honestly elected Lieut..
Governor fired unceremoniOusly, all the
city governments ripped, and zigzag
shoestring gerrymander enacted, is the
record. This alone is sufficient to con-
denim them before the people, but that
is not all. They pledged their word,
honor they cCuld not pledge, to repeal
the Owen law, and on this point they
seem to have run into stump. The
liquor men declare that the Democratic
party is goner if it does not repeal this
law, while the temperance people hold
up warning finger and say to the Leg
islature you are goner if you do, and
the party is in such position that it is
a goner if it does and gOner if it don't.
The statesmen are thus placed in a very
grave position. Retreat or progress
alike means defeat. Not single piece
of needed legislation has been enacted
and their harvest must needs be one of
barren regrets. Their infamous and un-
paralleled work is in the scale of public
opinion, and whatever efforts they make
they cannot regain the confidence of the
people.

THE bill to create special road dis
trict of Pultney township, and to author
ize the Commissioners to locate and
macadamize or pave five roads leading
out of Bellaire to the township line, has
passed the lower house of the Legisla-
ture, and will probably become law
this week. The bill provides for grad
ing 30 feet wide and paving or mlcad-
amizing not less than 16 feet. The cost
of grading and mlcadamizing to be paid
by an issue of bonds not to exceed &c.,
0)0, interest and principal to be paid
by levy upon all the taxable property
of Pultney township and Bellaire. The
Commissioners are to construct the
bridges, culverts and stone work, but are
to be limited in their appropriation for
this purpose to pro rata of the bridge
fund of Puitney township and Bellaire.
The question of the improvement is to
be submitted to vote of the people at
the April election, and will be deter
mined by a majority of the votes on the
proposition.

The Kent House Totally Destroyed and
One Man Dangerously Burned.
BUTLER, March 1s.-A special to the
Pittsburg Dispatch says: The Kent
House, situated near the Pittsburg &
Western depot, and kept by Mrs. Fink,
caught fire at II o'clock last night by
the upsetting of lamp and was totally
destroyed, together with the greater part
of its contents. 1t was only after des-
perate struggle that the fire department
got control of the fire and prevented a
general confagration. A dance was in
progress at the time, and many of the
guests narrowly escaped with their lives.
Frank Blaine, a boarder, in attempting
to get some personal effects and money
out of his room, was caught in the

Five Banks Well Worked by John c.
Brosi's Cleverness With the Pen.
Habits Regular and Moved in Good
Society.
PITTsBURG, March 17.-John C. Brosi,
prominent Southside jeweler, has sue
ceeded in proving how easy matter it
is to secure money from banks nowadays
on forged paper. An information was
made before Alderman Succop Saturday
morning by Joseph F. Erny, cashier of
the German Savings and Deposit bank,
charging Mr.. Brosi with forgery. The
amount of Brosi's alleged speculations
will reach $500, and possibly twice as
much. The peculiar part of the affair
is that the amounts which he received,
on worthless paper, range from $50 to
$500, and no less than five banks are in
volved.
Mr.. Brosi seems to have been very
systematic in his transactions, as he used
only the names of his nearest relatives,
beginning with his father and extending
to his uncles.
The Banks Involved
are the German Savings and Deposit
bank, 1885; Peoples National bank.
$500, and possibly S1,400; the new
Manufacturers bank, of the South Side,
S275; the Iron and Glass bank, 800 to
$1,000; the First National bank, of the
South Side, 1925, and possibly S625.
John c. Brosi has left the city and it
is not known now where he is, although
he was seen on Friday evening by one of
his friends. to whom he made confes-
sion of his guilt, but did not give any
reasons for his strange actions.
The question that puzzles every one is:
"What did Brosi do with his money? ?"
He was young unmarried man, of
quiet disposition. He had regular
habits, moved in good society and was
considered by all who knew him as an
exemplary young gentleman.
