The Force Bill Dead.

The vote on setting aside the
cloture rule in the Senate on
Monday last, shows conclusive
ly that the Force Election bill
is dead and buried beyond the
hope Of resurrection.
The full Senate consists of 81
Republicans and 81 Democrats,
giving the Republicans IA ma
iority. The following named s
Republican Senators voted with
the Democrats on Monday to set
aside the cloture rule:
Cameron, Pa. Teller, Col.
Jones, New. Washburn, Wis
Stewart, New. Wolcott, Col.
In addition to these, Senator
Stanford, of California, is
known to be hostile to the Force
Election bill. He was absent
and impaired on Monday. He
had been thrown from his car
rage in New York on that morn
ing, and. was unable to reach
Washington, but he has since
authorized the statement that
he would have voted with the
majority, Had he been present
the vote would have been Sc "a
I34.
There are, therefore, 7 Repub.
lican Senator'S now on record
against the revolutionary policy
Of Force, and in q full Senate
they would make the Senate 3
tie If all the other Republicans
voted with the reyolutfonist; but
Senator ingalls, was absent and
Il paired against both the Force
Election bin and the cloturs
rule with Senator Allison, *
that a full vote in the Senat,
would now leave the mad Fore,
leaders in d minority Of two.
/ 1t is safe to say that both tn,
Force Election bill and th,
Culture rule are dead for til,
session, and that means thai
they are dead forever.

THE STATE PRESS.

Biblical Recorder: We are
heartily in favor Of education
common school education for
the masses, and higher educa-.
ton for those who wish it and
are willing to pay for it. But
we have never deemed it pos
sible to educate and elevate
every member Of the human
race, white and colored, and we
have never been enabled to see
that such education, if it were
possible to give it, would be a
blessing. Thattit is impossible
to educate, in the ordinary sense
of the term, every boy or girl,
white or colored, in any State,
we have not the shadow Of d
doubt. Therefore, we have new.
er grown enthusiastic over any
such utopian dream.
Charlotte Democrat: Not

to make taxation equitable il

PAVING DUST AGAIN.

Webster's Weekly, the mad
bovine that bellows, paws the
air and kicks up the dust at
Reidsville whenever it smells
the smoke of a cigarette, had
another spell last week, and
raved to the extent of two col
umns. The red rag that excited
its latest exhibition of rage was
Brodie Dukes house, which has
recently been fitted up some
what deliberately and in keep
ing with the means and tastes
of a gentleman who enjoys liv-
ing in style and can afford it.
The Weekly's article is intend
ed to be facetious, and therefore
amusing; but instead thereof, it
is puerile and therefore anus
ing, intensely amusing-a wide
difference, you see, but the re-
suit is ALT same. tits enough
to make. a horse laugh; and
doubtless all the old raw bones
in Rockingham and thereabouts
laughed till they grew fat, &C
cording to the good old proverb,
There is however, a serious
feature connected with the
article, and that is the fact thai
it has placed two very eminent
citizens of North Carolina in a
very ridiculous light by print
ing alleged interviews with
them. The distinguished cit
liens referred to are no less i'm.
portant personages than Elk
Gov. Jarvis and Ex-G Gov. Scales.
Unfortunately, The RECORDER
cannot quote from either of the
interviews, because its copy Of
the Weekly was borrowed and
not returned, though repeated
Chords were made to get it back
Itmay be stated generally, from
the writer's recollection, that
Mr.. Scales talked like a school
boy about the American Tobac.
co Company melting the people
to mob law, and that Mr.. Jarvis
declared that he was against
the whole business and that he
did not believe that Washing.
ton Dukes money should b.
used to build Trinity College
There is reason for believing
that the interview with Mr.
Jarvis took place about the lat
ter part of last September a
Reidsyille. In that view of tn.
case, he probably modified hi
views before he delivered an ad
dress at the laying of the cor
ner stone of the college il
November. If the interview
took place subsequent to til,
corner stone speech, Mr.. Jarvi
has stultifed himself.
1t is but charitable to suppos
that the Weekly's recollection
Of the utterances of both tn
gentlemen in question is at fault

F1NDLAY, O., Jan. 1S.-An explosion of
natural gas occurred at the Hotel Marvin,
wrecking the building, killing two girls
and injuring dozen Others Mr.. Marvin,
the owner, of the building, with three
plumbers, had spent the entire forenoon
trying to locate gas leak, and about I
o'clock found it in chamber underneath
the dining room, the accumulation of gas
being SO great they could not breathe. :.
A hole was sawed through the floor into
the dining room in order to obtain fresh
air. One of the dining room girls, who
was sweeping the floor, stepped upon 8
match, and in an instant the explosion oc-
CURED. The whole city rocked as if in an
earthquake by the conclusion, and all the
windows on the square were demolished.
The only rooms in the hotel escaping de-
struction were the parlors and the Office.
Had the explosion occurred ten minutes
later the effect would have been fright
full, as nearly hundred people were wait
ing in the rooms to be called to dinner.
Frank Poundstone, ono of the clerks, was
on his way to make this announcement
when the explosion occurred, and was pain
fully hurt by the falling debris. :
Katie WaIt0rS waitreas WAS killed
outright, and Ella johnson, dining room
girl, died soon after being removed from
under mass of brick and mortar.
Katie Rooney, another dining room girl,
was fatally injured.
Arson Marvin, owner of the building,
was probably fatally injured by inhaling
the flame.
Albert French, porter at the hotel, was
cut on the neck and head.
Frank Andrews, one of the proprietors,
had his right eye knocked out and was Sc
riously bruised about the face and throat.
Charles Graves, Philip We'll and Jack
Cahill, the plumbers, were most painfully
shocked and stunned.
The financial loss will be about $25, 900

lure, all fully covered by insurance. It is
a question, however, whether the explo-
sion was caused by gas.

The Elections BiIito be Taken mp To-
Day-The silver Coinage Ell I'm the
House.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-The elections bill
will come up in the senate tomorrow
as the unfinished business. How long 1t
will remain 80 Is largely matter of con-
lecture at best. Progress was made with
the bill Saturday, but it was the belief
of the friends Of the bill that the minority
permitted this in order to weaken the ar
gument that might be advanced in support
of the closure rule, while reserving suffici-
emit material and resources to protract the
debate on it for an indefinite period of
time. -ss.5,s- 49,.
4 "a The procesdipGs in the house during the
week will be governed in large measure
by the progress of the debate with the
elections bill, the purpose of the democrats
manifestly being to delay business as long
as this measure remains pending in the
senate. The senate proceedings will, there
fore, furnish the motive power for what
ever scene shifting takes place in the
house. The District appropriation bill has
right of way and the present indications
are that it will make no moro rapid pro-
gress this week than during the last.
Other appropriation bills are treading on
the heels of the district bill ready for con-
as soon as the departing shadow
of the bill now before the house points the
way. Tomorrow, under the rules, will be |
committee suspension day and the post
Office committee wish to pass the bill to re-
class the railway postal service, but the |
outlook is not promising. The shipping |
bills and bills for private relief are posi- |
bilities though not probabilities, for action |
during the week. |
The principal interest is centered in the |
proceedings of the house committee to |
which the free silver coinage bill has been |
referred. The fate of tho bill depends |
largely upon its action as the committee |
practically has power to sbelve it and thus |
render action by the house almost if not |
quite impossible. For this reason the pro-
,eedings of the committee will be followed
with the iveliest interests. Its first meet
ing of the week will occur Wednesday
when Mr.. Leech, director of the mint, is
expected to be present and give his views
with regard to the effect of silver legisla-
ture. It is the understanding that no at
sempt shall be made to order report on
he bill at this meeting of the committee,
70 that at the very earliest the silver bill is
not likely to engage the attention of the
house until the following week

about dozen more rifles were given up
to Captain Pierce by the hostiles. They
informed him that systematic search

tomorrow. The exact number of guns
surrendered cannot be ascertained from

number at about 500. At headquarters
it is claimed the arms surrendered exceed
in number any received by them under
