Gerrymandors.
The president devotes much rpace to
the gerrymander question, having par.
ticular reference to the recently adopted
Michigan plan OF choosing presidential
electors by congressional districts. That
concurrence in plan should be broken is,
the president thinks, unfortunate and a
threatening episode and one that may
well suggest whether the states that still
give their approval to the old method
ought not TO secure by constitutional
amendment practice which has had the
approval of all. Gerrymander schemes,
he SAYS, have already found effective ap-
plication to the choice of senators and
representatives in congress, and now an
evil start has been made in the direction
# applying them to their choice of presi
dental electors. Ii this end is accomp.
ished we shall then have three great de
partments Of government in the grasp
of the gerrymander, the legislative and
executive directly. and the Judiciary in
directly through the power of appoint.
ment. The essential features of re-
publican government, he says, are
the right of the people to choose their
own officers and the nearest practicable
equality OF value in the sutfrages given
in determining that choice. The state
is to choose and, under the pretense of
regulating methods, the legislature can
neither vest the right of choice elsewhere
nor adopt methods not conformable tc
republican institutions. 'lt is not my
purpose here" says he, "to discuss the
question whether the choice by the legis-
lature or by the voters of an equal single

Negotiations for New Management of the
Hotel Windsor.

Some time ago the REGISTER an
nounced that parties from Chicago and
Ohio were negotiating with Hon. John
H. Hobbs for the purchase Of the Hotel
Windsor. For some reason the transfer
was not made, although the parties
made an examination Of the Hotel equip
ment, and were in the city for several
days.
Last Friday Messrs. S. B. Todd and
Alex Miller, practical hotel men, OF
Chicago. arrived in the city to make
arrangements for transfer CT the
hotel, provided it could be done salts
factorily. The negotiations are in
such state now that it requires but
the signature of the parties to the arti-
cles of agreement, before the transfer is
made. 1t is understood that the pro-
prietor of one of the prominent hotels
In the city is also making negotiations
with the present management. If he
secures it, it will be made a popular

the Windsor Is held is reported as $l2,-

Fatal

Fatal.
Mrs. Patrick Welsh, the victim of the
shocking burning accident at Benwood
on last Saturday night, died from the
effects at seven minutes of & o'clock
yesterday morning.
1t seems that Mrs Welsh was in the
second story of the building when the
lamp exploded, and in endeavOring 10
put out the flames after it. had tumbled
to the floor, in the excitement, she
placed her foot once or twice against
the source of the blaze TO quench it, and
in this way her garments caught fire and
In a few moments she was almost COM
pletely developed in flame. Seeing her
danger she rushed TO the stairway,
missed her footing and fell down the
whole flight of stairs. Her husband,
hearing the noise, rushed out FROM the
saloon on the first floor, and was horri-
fed TO see his wife at the mercy OF the
flames. He tried TO remove the clothes
while they were still burning, and in
doing so was severely burned about the
arms and legs, so much so that he will be
confined to the house for several weeks.
A large comforter was secured, and
this proving unavailing, another was
obtained, which finally quenched the
fire. During all this time, however,
Mrs Welsh was wrapped in flames, and
her hands and feet were literally burn
ed To crisp, and her chest aud limbs
were also badly burned. She was
placed on a bed, physician was sum-
moned and every thing possible was
doue to alleviate her Suiferings, but
throughout the night she suffered IN
told pain, the misery only being ended
by death.
Two gentlemen who assisted Mr..
Welsh in subduing the flames, Patrick
Dixon and Mr.. Smith, were also con-
Siderably burned.
The deceased was most eStimaole
lady and her untimely fate is deeply de-
plored. She leaves two small children.
The older is about three years.
The deceased was % years and 10
