THE BALLoT-Box CONTRACT.
Gov Campbell, of Ohio. Tells What II
Knows of the Fraud.

Gov Campbell, of Ohio. Tells What He
Knows of the Fraud.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 4-The ballot
box contract investigators got to work again
yesterday, and Gen. Grosvenor made a state
ment in which he complained of The Cincin-
natl Commercial Gazette, which, he said.
was INDUCING in unnecessary and severe
criticism ON the method of investigation
Representative Butterworth appeared before
the COMMITTEES, and for himself and every
other congressman whose names appeared in
the forged contract denied the newspaper
statements that any one of them desired the
Investigation shut off They ALL he said de-
manded that it he full and complete. Repre-
entative j. X Whiting repudiated the sigma
ture pnrporting to be his on the contract a
document of which he had no knowledge
Governor CampbelI's Statement
The next witness was Governor Campbell
He was shown the forged ballot-box con-
tract, and stated that he had never seen ii
before. He had never signed his name like
the signature on the paper. He denied any
knowledge of any ballot-box contract. He
had introduced the ballot box bill as a favor
to 7. c. Campbell. The witness told all he
knew of the ballot-box matter Some three
years ago he had seen patent ballot-box in
the office of T. c. Campbell. The box was
manipulated by r. G.. Wood. Some time
afterward Mr. Campbell had brought one Of
these patent boxes to Washington City to
exhibit to the congressional committee ON
elections. IL was at this time that the wit
ness agreed to introduce the bill His atten-
ton was first brought to his connection with
the ballot box matter by the publication in
The Commercial Gazette

Peculiar c.,n.,a.,..

1t is recalled that ON March 1, 1874, the
only violent death in cabinet took place,
when gun ON the war-ship Princeton ex-
ploded during fete on the Potomac near
Washington City, killing Secretary of State
Upshur, Secretary of War Gilmer, Mr..
Maxey, an ex-foreign minister, and
several marines. The bodies of all
the victims were laid in state in the
East room, where the body of President
Harrison had lain few years before. 1t is
thus recalled by the superstitious that it was
during the term of the presidency to which
Gen Harrison was elected that this first
great cabinet disaster occurred. Another
phase of the coincidence is the fact that the
year 1874 was also grip or influenza year,

SAT DOWN ON A TWIN RELIC"
The Supreme Court Decides an Impol
tanf Norman Ease

The supreme Court Decides an Impor-
tant Mormon Case.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. "A decision
was rendered by the supreme court yester-
day which indirectly involves the question
of religious liberty and what that phrase
means in the United States. Directly, the
decision was on the constitutionality of the
"test oath of Idaho, which requires citizens
of Idaho to make oath, when they apply 10
register as voters, that they are not biga-
mists or polygamist; do not teach, advise or
encourage bigamy or polygamy, and that
they are not members of any order which
practices or encourages such teachings
Upon this point the court declares that the
statute prescribing the test oath is not a law
respecting a religious establishment; that
bigamy and polygamy are crimes by the
laws of the United States and of Idaho To
call the advocacy of these crimes tenet of
religion is an insult to common sense
Some Notions Not Religious
The court refers to religious freedom as
follows: 1T is assumed by counsel of the pc
titioner that because no mode of worship can
be established or religious tenets enforced
i'll this country, therefore any form of wor-
ship may be followed, and any tenets, how
ever destructive of society, may be held
and advocated, if asserted to be a part of the
religious doctrine of those advocating and
practicing them. But nothing is further
from the truth. While legislation for the
establishment of a religion is forbidden, and
its free exercise permitted, it does not fol
low that everything which may be so called
can he tolerated. Crime is not the less odiou
because sanctified by what any particular
sect may designate religion Justice
Field read the opinion.

DEVOTED WIFE'S HERolsM.
The secretary's Wife Died Tryin; to Save
Her Husband.

Her Husband.
1t was not until the excitement had some
what subsidized that the trua cause of Mrs.
Tracy's death was discovered, and il was
found that she had died while performing
an act of rare heroism. Ii is evident that
when Mrs. Tracy and the secretary were
reused by the cry of fire, and they realized
the imminent peril they were in The secre-
tary attempted to lead his wife down the
stairs and out of the front door But at the
head of the stairs he was overcome by the
smoke and fell in stupor. The position in
which he was found shows that his wife, a
delicate woman, and but just recovered
from severe illness, had attempted to drag
her husband back to the bedroom so as to
take him TO the window and give klm air.
But the secretary Is "a heavy D.ar. and the
desperate struggle caused Mrs Tracy to rup-
ture blood vessel 1t is the opini on of the
physicians that 1t was the rupture o. this YES
sci which caused her death. They do not
think that she had inhaled any of the smoke,
and are of the belief that the distance from
the second story to the ground was not great
enough to have caused her death had she not
first ruptured 4 vital artery. Mrs Tracy
sacrificed herself to save her husband

The bodies of Mrs and Miss Tracy were

But while Cattsll was proving himself a
hero, scenes were TRANSPORTING outside in full
view of the great throng which had gathered,
which froze their blood and made strong men
shed tears. They had seen three women
leap to what seemed certain death, and they
had seen fourth slowly burn up while they
stood there powerless to help or in any way
render assistance. 1t seemed an intermina
BILE time before the firemen arrived, and the
people who had congregated on II street In
the rear-of the house. while waiting for lad
ders and engines to put out the flames, saw q
woman clad in white standing in the second
story back room. It was evidently with the
greatest difficulty that she attempted to raise
the window She succeeded In hosting it a
few inches, and then paused as II the exer-
ton was too much for her feeble strength
The crowd encouraged her by all the means

minute the firemen would be there with the
ladders.

Again the woman applied herself to the
task before her, and again succeeded in
raising the window couple or more inches.
Now the excitement below was almost un-
eontrollable, as from the street it could be
plainly seen that the room was rapidly fill
Ing with flames, and the rose-colored sheets
of fire only served to bring out the agonized
face Of the woman and her white night robes
In more intense relief At last, as If sum-
moning all her strength in one desperate ef-
fort, she again applied herself to the window
and It went up more than half way to the
top. She stood before the open easement as
II transfxed for one brief moment, and
then almost imperceptibly she slipped out of
the window and landed on the hard stones
below, alighting ON her side.

EvIcTED FROM THEIR HOME.
A Family Turned Ont in the Rain, but
Move In Again,

Family Turned Ont ia the Rain, but
Move In Again.
Thomas Gangtoh, wife and family, who
live at the head of South Eighth on
Clinton streets, were evicted from the house
in which they lived yesterday morning for
the non-payment Of rent. and the household
furniture was sold under the hammer Of the
auctioneer.
The crowd of neighbors, who gathered in
the poorly furnished rooms, were there in
sympathy, more than for the purpose of
buying the household effects of the un-
fortunate family.
The goods were disposed OF for 50 cents
This sum bought several bedsteads, stove
and other articles of Punishment. The
constable and his attendants took the goods
and piled them up near the railroad. About
this time it began to rain, and most pitiful
scene was presented.
The buildings are owned by Mr. Griffin,
and the landlords warrant was issued
through the real estate office of Baxter,
Thompson & Co., Fourth avenue.
The debt of the landlord was apparently
satisfied, as the evicted family moved again
into the house. The wife could not under
stand the proceedings at all, and stood as
though dazed.
