GEORGE A. BEERS.
His Death Announced at the County
Hospital.

T1OSPlIdi.
Among the deaths reported at the
county hospital during November was
that of George A. Beers, aged 80, the
stated cause of death being the opium
habit.
This is believed to be the George A.
Beers who assisted in the capture OF
Vasouez, the noted Mexican bandit,
near this city about twelve years ago.
Mr.. Beers was correspondent of the
San Francisco Chronicle at the time,
and accompanied the party of which the
late Major H. M. Mitchell was a member.
He took an active and plucky part in
the capture, and Immediately afterwards
telegraphed vivid account to his paper.
This dispatch he afterwards amplified
into pamphlet.
He was brilliant reporter and excel
lent writer and was greatly esteemed by
managing editors as worker.

City Attorney Mcfarland yesterday
commenced suit on behalf of the city
against Louis Wilson to recover posses
sion of and obtain an injunction against
him from any right, title or interest in
a piece of land on Buena Vista street,
and bounded by the Zanja Madre, upon
which Wilson "squatted" some three
years ago, not knowing that it belonged
to the city. He now refuses to give up
the property, claiming that he has
lived upon it long enough to have a
right to remain there.

Reception.
Governor-elect Markham was rendered
a reception last night at the house of
General and Mrs. e. p. Johnston, which
was most enjoyable affair, and one
which in itself was great compliment
to the Pasadena sycamore. The gath
ering was a representative one, parti-
cularly from Republican point OF view,
though distinguished Democrats were
by no means few. From an early hour
until ten O'Clock guests arrived in con-

and nothing could have been done to
make the affair more enjoyable. A full

LangstOn an NJ. c.

Mr.. Venable has been unseated
and his place awarded to Langston.
An accomplished gentleman and
useful representative who was elect
ed has been retired in favor OF a
willy and scheming Negro who was
so clearly defeated that he made no
real preparations for a contest until
it was apparent the House meant
to reward the Republicans and pun
ish Democrats without scruple as to
right or wrong.
Langston was not the party nomi-
nee. He was a bolter, and In the
division that he created in his party
ranks in the Petersburg district Mr..
Verable succeeded in running in
between him and Arnold. The bulk
of the Negroes went to Langston
while the white Republicans led by
General Malone, and some ColoreC
men supported Arnold. The victory
was honestly won by Mr.. Venable
Malone conceded it to him, and was
outspoken at Washington with re
spectto the baselessness OF the contes
tant's claims. His representation
we're unavailing, however, and /

mined to defeat both Malone and |
MIR. Nenable.
The committee having reported in
favor OF Langston, it's chairman on
the 9th instant moved TO take up
the case for consideration. and the
time of the House was occupied
almost exclusively from that day to
yesterday i'm an effort TO undo the
right and accomplish the wrong.
The Democrats, led by Mr.. O'Ferrall,
made gallant and stubborn
resistance.
They did all that braveand honest
men could do. AS often as quo
rum of the House was about TO be
secured they broke it by absenting
themselves. 1t was their only weap-
on and they used it as long as pos
sible. No alternative was left the
Republicans but to summon their
members back 90 Washington, and
many who were engaged in exciting
contests had to abandon their fields
and report for duty to Speaker Reed.
They were mustered ia sufficient
force yesterday afternoon to do
] their work. In what manner our
telegraphic dispatches fully relate.
Messrs. Waddill and Browne were
recorded as present, but not voting.
That it would come to this at last
we all saw, for Reed is too shrewd a
politician ever TO have been willing
TO allow the session to close with
the Democrats on top" This was
his chief reason for desiring to GUST
Mr.. Venable, but he and his cocoon
srirators were almost moved by the
demand of the Negroes OF the North
and West that LangstOn should be
seated. There are very few States
that are Republican except with the
help of the black vote. These two
considerations had more force than
any conviction that Langston was
really elected, for he was not, ant
; the Republican members OF the
House knew the fact
Mr.. Venable can and will bear hii
defeat very well; TO him PERSONAL,

Reed Checked.

The democrats have at last found |
n wav to check the unbridled pow
er of Mr.. Speaker Reed. For a long
week or more now, by absenting
themselves from the hall at the prop

One reason may De the large absen-
teeism of Republican members, who
mt the close of the session, and as
the day of election draws near, have

reason we presume, is that.this meth

the frozen shades of private life.
And how does the Hon. William
Malone, the weightless Warwick of
Virginia Republican politics, feel
over his defeat in the Langston
contention.
Cheadle of Indiana was the only
Republican who voted against Mr..
Langston. Ii there are any Afro
Americans in Cheadle's Congress dis
tiict they should vote against the
reelection OF Cheadle TO the full
extent OF their votes. lie is no

The Democratic minority fought
these two contested cases as the
Democracy always lights Afro

at it's command. When the final
vote was taken there was not one
Democratic member on the floor Of

LIVE WASHINGTON TOPICS.
Things Of Interest Happening In and
Out OF Congress.

"WAsHNGToN, Sept. 23.-By it's
action to-day in seating Langston,
the House ended what was probably
the most protracted aud bitterly
contested election case it has ever de-
cided. During the closing days OF
the last Congress the Democrats
made a strenuous effort to unseat
FELTON, and put in Sullivan as Rep
resentative from ca iIornia; but they
were defeated by the refusal of the
majority of the Republicans to vote
upon the proposition. The result OF
to-day's proceedings was surprise
to the Democratic minority, which,
after two weeks successful operation
of what has become known as the
Mason plan" of obstruction, was
confident that it's opponents could
not secure a quorum. But the
''whips" had been active and the
word passed around before the
House met that a quorum would be
present. The result of the first roll
call-to approve a iournal-was
awaited with considerable nervous
ness by the Republicans. During the
call it was discovered that Mr.. Mill
ken of Maine, who had Just returned
to the city, was not present, and i'm
mediately messengers and pages
went securing the city to look hin
No. AS the Clerk proceeded it waa
also noticed that Mr.. Mudd OF Mary

Eat last the glad tidings have been
heralded-Langston anu Miller have
both been seated in Congress. The
Democrats had resorted TO all means
to obstruct a quorum, and have
been quite successful for nearly two
weeks. But remember Boss "
Reed is the presiding officer OF the
House, and his indomitable power
amounted to more than the obstruct
ions of all the Democrats put. tOgeth-
err, and on Tuesday when least ex-
pected by the men who think any
thing but equal rights before the

quorum was present and John Mer-
