al $50 o'clock the Republicans,
led by Speaker Reed, the Port
land parliamentary porker, con-
sumated their wishes regarding
the Smith Jackson contest. Then
the vote was announced-166
votes, in the Affirmative and none
in the negative. and Jackson
was declared unseated and Chas'
B. Smith, the contestant, took
his place. 1t was cat.and-dried
affair, the result of which every
body anticipated.
Probably never before has sue h
a travesty on jnsiice or decency
been perpetrated. without con
sidering tie evidence. without
going into the merits of the case.
The Republic ans unseated Judge
Jackson by a party vote. the
Democrats refusing to participate
in the. swindle. After al the
bluffilns the speaker has done.
after .hisoutrageous preliminary
rulings, after his repeated falsifi-
cation of the record, it was sup
posed that he would declare
Judge Jackson unseated by a
quorum of his own manufacture.
1t was evidenced, however, that
the speaker feared to jeopardize
Smiths claim to his seat by his
illegal and unconstitutional ac-
tions. and a Republican quorum
was drummed up with difficulty.
During the progress OF the de-
bate, our Congressman, Mr.. Jos
eph 0uthwaite, after arguing in
support of.the contestee, defend
ed thes Democratic party in at
tempting to postpone the consid
GRAFTON !of the case. and argued
that it was perfectly proper for
it too seek protection under a
code of rules. In reply to the
invitation of the other side TO
leave the. hall If they did not
wish to be counted, he said that
the Democrats were here repre-
senting a majority of the people
Of the country, and would do
their duty and insist that busi.
pess should be done only under
a code of rules. He then turned
his attention TO the merits of the
election case. taking up the con
tested votes IN detail, and en-
deavoring TO establish the fact
that they we're properly counted
for Jackson. In conclusion lie
said that it would not do for the
to try TO take ad-
of the disturbed state Of
affairs in est Virginia to seat a !
representative wrongly. They |
could not get possession of the
State, and The money of the Re
campaign committee
1ad done much to ruin the party
here.

they were willing to submit
the case at once. Mr.. Lamp
son stated that they would
probably have some, and On
motion Of Mr.. Corcoran a
recess was taken until three
o'elook.ssa The roll call re-
vealed the fact that Senator
Massie: was not present, he
being confined to his room
by sickness.
In the Senate in the after
noon the committee on priv
ileges and elections reported
having taken some oral tes-
mony. The counsel for the
contestee declined to pre-
sent any oral testimony to
the committee, claiming that
it should be presented to the
Senate sitting as a court
With this refusal on the part
of Lampson to present testi-
mony to the committee, the
report was made to the Sen
ate and the evidence closed.
Arguments were then COM
menced. Mr.. Powell opening
for the contestor.
The vote stood for unseat-

DEMOCRACY TRIUMPHANT.
Cincinnati ENQUIRER. 5th

Nlucknuau enquirer, oLn.
One thing u quito clear. to wit
That tho cause of the psople did
mot suffer in yesterdays special
legislative elections in Ohio.
John B. Lawlor, elected a. q
Democrat to the House Of Repre-.
ssntatives from Franklin County;
had died. He is succeeded by q
Democrat, Al Heffner.
Judge Ashburn, elected as q
Democrat to the Senate from the
Fourth District. had died. He il
succeeded by q Democrat, j. N.
Pattison.
Thus the Legislature remains un.
changed.
But that is not all. Mr.. Law
lor. popular a. he was. had q plu-
raiity last fall of 1860. Our
friends are claiming for Mr.. Hef:-
ner . plurality of over 1000.
In the Clermont and Brown
Senatorial District Judge AshburI
surprised every one at the Move M
Der election. with the unusual plu-
rslity Of 1897. L. Looks very
much as If Mr.. Patterson might
reach as high as 1900 or 1000.
notwithsta nding the vast amount
of money that the Cincinnati
Board Of Public Affairs poured in :
to both counties with the hope of
defeating him.
Altogether the party of the poo
PIE has cause to be proud of the
days record. It casts a beautiful
shadow of coming events. Itseems
TO give q tolsraSly clear indication
as to what will Happen shis spring
and in the coming fall.
1t remains only for the Demo-
Gratis to be Democrats, and not to
be afraid of their faith.

..
THAT WILLIAM V. MARQUIS
WAS ELECTED
LIEUTENANT aovERNoR AND
LAMPSoN IS UNSEATED.

In the Senate the hearing
of the Marquis Lampson con-
tinued, Senator Howells hav-
ing arrived. Mr.. Converse
began to offer testimony for
Mr.. Marquis, reading from a
summary of the depositions
made by the committee on
privileges and elections.
When the hands of the
clock pointed to II, Mr..
Lampson who was occupy
ing the chair, announced that
the hour had arrived when
the contest for the lieuten-
ant governorship should be
resumed. President Adams
took the chair, and directed
the counsel for the contest
ants to proceed with the fur
ther introduction of the tes-
timony. Gen. Voris, one of
the counsel for Mr.. Lampson,
asked that the exceptions
made yesterday to evidence
and rulings Of the president
be recorded on the journal.
The request was not granted.
Mr.. Converse was given
the floor and proceeded to
read the evidence which, he
said, had been prepared by.
the committee on elections.
Hon. T. E. Powell, his CO.
counsel, relieved him and
finished the reading of the
statement. The dispositions
were for the purpose Of show
ing that Irregularities had
been present in the election
in the following counties -
Auglaize, Adams, Trumbull,
Lake, Knox, Williams, Lo-
rain, Dark, Muskingum and
Erie.
A number of names were
read, whom the counsel for
Mr.. Marquis claimed had vot-
ed illegally. A list Of stu
dents at Oberlin college, who
had voted for Lampson, was
read, it being claimed that
they were not at home when
at college, and had no right
to vote when at the latter
place.
A list of soldiers being
cared for at the Soldiers
Home at Sandusky, who it
was claimed voted without
right. Judge Nash entered
an objection on the ground
that the law gave the IN
mates of Soldiers Home the |
right to vote.
During the offering of the
evidence frequent objections
were made by the counsel
for Mr.. Lampson, which the
president ordered noted and
directed the objecting coun-
'el to place them before the
Senate when it came their
;urn to offer testimony.
When the offerieg of depo-1
;itions on behalf of Marquis
lad concluded, Judge Nash
moved that the case be dis
missed on the ground that |
here had been no testimony
offered by the contestor,. but
only a statement by his at
The motion was
overruled. Judge Nash ask
I'd that the counsel for Mr..
Lampson be given time to
and that the Senate

,erning their mode of action,

containing fifty pounds of powder ex-
ploded in August Smiths grocery store
at Industry, near Scott Haven. Pa, Sat
urday evening, completely wrecking the
building and iniuring seven children,
four of them fatally. The explosion was
caused by sparks from Jackson cracker,
which exploded prematurely in the
hands of August Smith, Jr., aged four
teen years.
The store was a resort for children,
and at the time of the accident largo
number were present firing crackers.
The powder exploded with terrific force,
lifting the building, which was two
story structure, from its foundations
and wrecking it completely Young
Smiths body was burned to crisp and
he was otherwise terribly mangled.
John Branner, aged ten years, had the
soles of both feet torn off, was fright
fully burned about the body and both
eyes were blown out. George Kohler,
aged eight years, was badly burned
about the body and the flesh was torn
from his limbs. Willie Kohler, six
years old, was burned about the head,
breast and stomach.
Emma Smith, aged nine years; Mary
Smith, nineteen months, and Charlie
Shoul, eight years, were all badly
burned, but will recover. The first four
named are still living, and every thing
possible is being done to alleviate their
sutferings but their deaths are moment
arily expected. The ruins took fire, but
were extinguished before the flames had
gained much headway. Several kegs of
powder were stored in the cellar, and
more horrible calamity was averted by
the prompt and heroic work of the
neighbors in extinguishing the fire.
