celebration in the Buchtel college last
evening thirty lady students were gath
cred in the society's library building.
They were entertained by eight, who
wore masks and loose flowing garments
with high hats, also covered with cot

mler OF Utica, N. Y, caught fire and
communicated to the entire party.
Every effort was made to save the
young ladies whose screams were heard
throughout the building and whose
blazing costumes seemed to fill the
room. Lulu Steigmier, of Attica, o..
and May Steves, of Clifton Springs, N.
u, who were the worst burned of the
victims, died early this morning. Both
were burned almost beyond recognition.
Miss Steves was one of the most beauti-
1al and most popular students in col
lege. Not spot on her body, except
the soles of her feet, ecaped the fire.

WARRINGTON, August l3.-Commen
to-day on Senator Quay's resolution III
to the order OF business in tho Senate IL
varied. As has been frequently stated
opinion has been divided in the Senate
from the first as to tho expedienay o.
passing the Elections bill at this session
While there is little or no opposition to
the bill in itself, Quay's resolution has
but one aim, the early adjournment oI
Congress, so that members Of the House
may get to their districts as soon as pos
sible, and this is what everybody de.
sires. But there will bo decided op.
position to any postponement Of the
Elections bill among those who reason
from past experience, that instead OF re-.
forming their methods the Democrats
will simply take advantage Of the re-.
spite given them to break all records for
every kind OF corruption in order 10
gain control OF the next House. This is
the view taken unanimously by the
members OF the Committee on Privileges
and Elections, who will report the bill
favorably at this session.
The minority who will vote for @ lays
resolution, il it even reaches q vote,
want to give the Democrats one more
chance to make good their promises Of
reform in case the measure is held up.
This, together with desire for an early
adjournment influences them more than
the present considerations, but the end
is not yet reached. The House will have
something to Say before any final action
is taken, and the temper Of the House
in this srespect is unmstakable. Mean.
while the course of the Senate is watch
ed with much interest.
