TWO LOCAL BILLS
OF GREAT IMPORTANCE NOW PENDING 1T
CHARLESTON.
The Rlsctrie Light Measure Passed to It's Stoont
Reading in the HOuse-A Bill TO Consolidate the
Wheeling Street Railway Companies.

The Wheeling Electric Light bill, au-
thorizng the city TO manufacture elec-
tricity for sale to private consumers. is
making good progress at Charleston, it
having been reported fayorably from
the committee yesterday, and read 4
first time and ordered to its second read
ing in the House.
A report was set ahoat in this COM
munity, yesterday. that the bill had
been adversely reported from the COM
mittee, and had been rejected by the
House, and the gross misstatement
created a great deal Of indignation
among members of Council last evening,
as well as among citizens generally. A
tirSt-clasS Indignation meeting could
have been started at the City Hall
about o'clock, with very little effort,
and there was talk among members OF
urging the new Council TO appoint
committee to go TO Charleston, at its
first meeting.
Happily, however. the exact reverse
OF tnc report III circulation WAS true,
and when the truth became known, a
half hour or so after Council adjourned,
there were evidences of much satiSfac-
tion.
The following telegram from Charles
ton, will explain the situation at present,
regarding this important measure:-

MRS. sCOTT-sIDDONs RECITAL.
A Rich and Varied Pr ,gramme of Elocu

The audience at the Opera House last
evening TO hear Mrs. Scott-SiddonS in
her dramatic recitals was not large. but
it was responsive. Those who remem-
bered the famed parsonage as she ap-
pearcd here some years ago saw in her
queenly presence the same strength and
vigor and all the artistic details that
characterized the hiStrionic field, save
perhaps that her talents were a triile
diminished fer the time being by an ag-
gravating cold. She well OVercame
the difficulty, however, and In
many OF her selections, the
afllction was scarcely preceptible. The
selections were notably OF a high char
acter, and were rendered with care
full attention TO every nicely OF detail,
such that one could almost see the sur
roundings in realism. The Shakes
pearan scenes with which the celc-
brated reader is specially well acquaint-
ed. were finely enacted, and were loudly
applauded. One of the most amusing
selections OF the evening was THE
Senator Entangled." which kept
the audience In ripples OF merriment.
The impersC n ltiOns we O excel sli, and
the interchange of voice most admirable.
Among other selections that were high
ly enjoyed were those from Twain's
"Innoccnts Abroad" and Dickens
David CopperfeId." The programme
closed with Sheridan'S "School for
Scandal" which was one Of the pleas
ing features of the evening. The re-
cital on the whole wa- one OF the most
entertaining that has been given here
for long time, and IL is TO be regretted
that there was not larger gathering
present.

money working In the cause and now
that she is old, intirm and pennileSS the
charity Of those with whom she worked
in her way seems exhausted and she is
left to the charity OF whom? The Old
Ladies' Home at Wheeling was pro-
vided by Anton Reymann. the wealthy
beer brewer Of that city. Is IL not
a remarkable fact that a woman
once at least in comfortable cir
cumstances but whose worldly pos
sessions were exhausted in her sup
port for many years, should when old
and inirm be the recipient OF the hos
pitality OF one of those engaged In a
business she spent part OF the years of
her life in trying to crush out? Does it
not suggest the idea that in radical re-
forms the leaders do not look far ahead,
or that there is a screw loose somewhere?
We refer TO this matter only because ii
strikes Us that time in its flight has
brought about what seems TO be a most
remarkable change, aud that what the
world calls charitable and Christian
seems cold and uncharitable In peculiar
instances at times. S.-Belldire mdepcn-

A BAD YOUNG MAN.
How Two Oncers Captured an Incorriga
bic Youngster.

A few days ago a father aud mother
went before Justice Davis and swore
out warrant for their incOrrigable son
of twenty summers. He wont permit
his father to come home at all under a
threat to blow his head of with double
barreled shotgun. He is so naturally
malicious that he torments and mutilates
the chickens by cutting their feet and
spurs and claws off, saws and breaks up
the furniture. an. destroys everything
generally. Yesterday was the day fixed
on for his arrest, aud the sequel shows
the officers accomplished it successfully
by little strategy. They went To the
house, but neither OF them knew the
young man by looks. They had been
told before they went to the house that
he was a chicken fighter. That settled
it. They told him they were looking
for game chickens, and asked when out
in the yard TO show them. In answer
TO the question, what is your name? he
answered by telling It. This concluded
the chicken part of the plot. The
Young man was then told that he was
the fighting rooster they wanted, and
nut him under arrest. He was brought
before the Justice and in default Of $500
bail was committed to jail for hearing
next Saturday at p. m.

HARRISBURG, January 9O.-When the
House reasSembled this afternoon the
floor and aises were crowded with
politicians and Others who have taken
more interest in the fight for, or against
Senator Cameron's reelection. The OPP
position to the Senator mustered but
eleven votes, divided among three can
didates. OF the 204 members of the
House POI were present. Ex-L!eutenant
Governor Chauncey i. Black received Il
Democratic votes. or the l24 Republican
votes cast 1l3 went to Senator Cameron
TO A. l.. L, t, TO DR.. I. l..
Flood and l to Judge Harry White.
Something of sensation was created
when III. Wallace Brown, Republican,
of Crawford whose name is near the
top of the list, voted for Rev. Dr..
Flood, of Meadvlle. DR.. Flood s name
had not previously been mentioned in
connection with the Senatorship, and
Browns vote for him was a com
plete surprise. Representative Morrow,
of Indiana County, voted for Harry
White, OF Indiana. Those who voted
for Mr.. Taggart were: MeSsrs. Baldwin
(Lancaster), Cory (Luzerne), Lewis
and Sumner (Bradford), Magnin Della
ware), Potter (Crawford), and Seanor
Qndiana.)
These eleven votes constituted the
outSpoken opposition to Senator Cam
eron. Mr.. Taggart took his defeat
philoSophically and expressed himself
as being perfectly satisfied with the re-
suit Twenty members, he said, had
assured him OF their support, but when
the important moment arrived they cast
their votes for Cameron. Two or three
Representatives in voting for Mr.. Tag
CART filed their reason for their action,
in effect that they had voted in accord
ance with the wishes of their constitu-
entS.
AT the conclusion OF the roll-call,
Speaker Thompson said: "Hon. j.
Donald Cameron having received ma
jority of all the votes, declare him duly
elected on the part of the House to
serve the commonwealth in the United
