IT'S SENATOR SANDERS.

He Receives all the RepublicanVotes
of Both Houses in Joint Session.
HELENA, Mont, Special Telegram,
The first United States senator from
Montana was elected to-day, and, as fore
shadowed in the caucus, Col. Wilbur F.
Sanders is the one so honored. At noon
the Republican members of both branches
of the legislature went into joint session.
There were thirty-eight members present
two more than quorum. On the first for
NAL ballot Col Sanders was elected by the
unanimous vote of the body. The lobby
was crowded, and when the result was an
nounced cheering and hurrahing nearly
raised the roof. 1t was several minutes be-
fore order was restored. Col. Sanders was
brought to the floor and made short
speech accepting the Office. His appear
ance created great enthusiasm. A bal
lot for second senator was then
taken, with the following result: Lee
Mantle of Butte, II; Lieut.. Gov. Rick
ards, IL; E. D. Leavitt of Butte, 8; J. C..
Powers of Helena, 4: l.. H. Hershfield of
Helena, 3; B. Platt Carpenter of Helena, l..
The Joint session then dissolved until to-
morrow without balloting again. The fight
tor the second senatorship is still waging.
Judge Knowles of Butte could be elected if
he wanted it, but to-day he absolutely re-
fused to stand for senator. The most
prominent West 81 de candidate now is Lee
Mantle and of the East side T. c. Powers.
The vote given Richards and Leavitt is re-
garded only as complimentary. 1t is i'm
possible to predict a result. The Demo-
Gratis of the legislature attempted to hold a
Joint session t0-day but could not get q
quorum. 1t is rumored that Hauser, who

Horrible Massacre of Negroes.

f1OTTlOIe massacre OF negroes.
The Chicago Times has the following &C.
count from Columbia, S. c., of the lynching
of eight negroes at Barnwell, SouthCarolina:
Three hundred armed men, with faces
masked, surrounded the Jail just at the
darkest hour before dawn, while the inmates
are sleeping heavily. They move with eau
ton and as an organized body. The jailer
is quietly seized and quickly overpowered,
his keys taken from him, the heavy
doors unlocked and be. ore the eight negroes
sleeping within are awakened from
their sleep their cells are filed with strange
figures. They are seized and carried out in
to the night. Their cries for mercy, prayers
and curses are alike unheeded by their silent
executioners, The body of men is put in
motion and proceeds quarter of mile and
halts in the outskirts of the town. The eight
unfortunate wretches are secured, several
hun dred shots are fred and eight bodies lie
on the EARTH with blood running from a hun
dred wounds, literally shot to pieces. Such
was the scene Of the terrible tragedy enacted
iu the town of Barnwcll. The most terrible
retribution for not extraordinary offense,
as the crimes records will prove. Four years
ago five men were lynched in YOrkville for the
brutal murder oi a little boy who caught
them stealing. But they belonged to an Or
ganized gang, whose members were sworn to
kill whoever caught them stealing, and they
were believed to have committed several
murders previously. Their conviction was
their own hands. But the wholesale lynching
at Barnnell is without parellel in the records
of crimes, and there was less grounds for the
act than probably any lynching before. 1t
is dOu bttnl If the country can show like
record.

At the hearing given by the Mary

Shaw on behalf of the Maryland w. C..
r. u, a young member, desiring to
show his opposition to the presence of
women, took seat in front of the
speaker, deliberately lighted cigar and
began to smoke in her face. Miss
Shaw, in the course of her address, OBJ
served that there were some people
who objected to the appearance OF
women before legislative bodies as inn
proper. 1t could not be improper for
women to come into the presence OF
gentlemen. Therefore this sentiment
must be based upon the assumption
that some members of the Legislature
were not gentlemen, and would not act
as such. AS she spoke, she looked
steadily at the smoking member, and
the eyes of the whole assembly were
turned in the same direction. The

The Maryland Legislature contains
a number of alleged Ballot Reformers
who never have comprehended the fact
that an official and secret Ballot is the
very substance of the whole reform. 1t
has been truly said, that any attempt
to devise a secret ballot, and still per-
nit candidates or party managers to
furnish these ballots, or to allow any
one under the disguise of interpreter"
to assist the voter in casting his ballot,
practically destroys the object of the
measure, and makes it IN the hands of
corrupt men the means of defeating the
will of the people.

ANNAPOLIS, March 2O.-The House to-
night turned it's back squarely ON one of
the most earnest and just protests that
| it has ever been asked to consider, and
thrust upon Baltimore city and the agri-
cultural interests of the state a bill unfair
in it's conception, vicious in principle,
| and that is bound to work an incalcu-
| liable injury to one of the most important
branches of Baltimore's trade. The bill
| for state Inspection of grain at Baltimore,
| which nearly every member OF the Corn
and Flour Exchange most solemnly pro
tested against, was passed tonight by
vote of AZ to %.
Two influences secured the passage of
the bll-one political, and the other the
| misguided belief of the farming senti
ment, who have only repeated their old
and fatal mistake of swallowing the
sugar coated pill without detecting the
| bitterness until too late. The vote shows
a marked change in the sentiment since
yesterday, when it was, apparently, very
neary equal, and all the pressure that
could be brought forward since then has
brought about the result.

Improvement of Elk River,

Il is a fact greatly regretted by every
thoughtful citizen of Elkton, that the
shallow condition OF the channel OF the
Elk River at and near the town, Seri-
ously threatens the trade which has
been built up here by water, and which
Mas added so much to the prosperity
I'D improvement of the town. Ten
: Yrs ago the market value of the wharf
Serties here did not reach $4,000.
assessed value of the same lands
by with the improvements is about
1000. The population of Elkton
ears ago was about 1900, and it is
& Fed by conservative estimates to-day
$500. Ten years ago the total 'front.'
.age on the river of wharves did not eX-
I. coed 400 feet, where 5000 feet OF sub
kantlally built wharves are now located.
: number of vessels discharged at
Stown last year exceeded two hun
I'd. The Singerly Pulp Works receive
Enually by water 5000 cords OF poplar
GOOD, and the Scott Fertilizer Co., re-
:teived and shipped last year over seven
Thousand tons of their materials.
These two industries give constant
EMPLOYMENT to about I5o men, and
the Providence Paper Mill few miles
north of the town which is operated in
connection with the Pulp Mil at Elkton
and depends Oh it for stock also, en-
ploys about seventy-five men. These
two hundred or more men represent a
population of at least eight hundred
people maintained by these industries.
The poplar wood which is used so
extensively in the big mill here grows
on the water courses in Maryland and
Virginia, and the cost of hauling it to
distant railroads, together with the
heavy freight by rail, adds so much TO
its cost, as to put it out of reach for
economical manufacture. Mr.. Slngerly
established this great enterprise on the
water so as to get the advantage of
vessel treights, IN delivering the wood.
This poplar wood is the principal pro-
duct consumed, and 1t is essential TO
lay 1t down at the mill at the lowest
possible cost.
Mr.. Singerly has shown the most
liberal and enterprising spirit in equip
ping this great plant with every con-
trivance and improvement known, and
has placed it in the front rank of sue
cessful pulp making establishments.
His enterprise has done more than all
others established here in generation
to increase the population, taxable
property, and general prosperity of the
town, and it is not pleasant thought
that the busy machinery of this great
mill should be threatened with stand
still from any cause.
We are sure that we represent the
wishes of this community in expressing
the earnest hope that our Representa-
tiyes In Congress will secure the appro-
priation recommended for Elk River.
