What VIII Happen u the House
Falls to Organize Today.

WASHINGTON, December 6.-The Fifty
second Congress will assemble tomorrow
az tnoon. The usual decorous quiet Is ex-
pected to characterize the assembling of
the Senate. An unusually large number
ofSenators Will stand before the vice Presi-
dent to take the oath of Office for 81 of
them, nearly one. half Of the membership
OF the Senate, are either new to that body
OF begin new terms. David b. Hill Of New
ork, Is not expected to appear In the
senate for some time, and his credentials
nave not yet been filed with the secretary.
hedneld Proctor has also failed In this
respect, but he may yet hand his letter Of
appointment ~ pLo to the secretary In time to
nave IL presented tomorrow. In two cases
tnere are rival claimants to seats. Mr..
Duools Oh Idaho, Is challenged as to the
validity OF his title by Mr.. Clagett, but as
the name OF the former appears upon the
secretary's list, he will be sworn In and
Mr.. Clagetts claim be examined by the
committees on privileges and elections.
Mr: Cal, OF Florida, also finds a contestant
10 Mr.. Davidson, who Is armed with the
governors certificate, and this case may
possibly be referred to the same committee
LOT a report before either party Is admit ed.
Should the House fall TO organize t0m0r-
row, tie Senate win not transact any busi'
ncoo. COnltreuce3 Will Dc n6lu Dy tno SeL-
ators OF the different parties early 10 the
week TO arrange the membership Of the
committees. The task Is of more than or
binary Importance this time, In view Of
the incoming Of fifteen new Senators. I'M
less there should be a radical change In
the speakershlp situation tonight or early
tomorrow morning, the House for the first
time since the 36th Congress will meet
without previous selection by the don't.

there be failure to decide upon the
Speaker at the caucus tomorrow forenoon,
II will be necessary for the House to
adopt one or the other of the two methods
established by precedent; namely,
to elect temporary chairman or tempo
rary speaker. or else commit the duty OF
presiding to the clerk. Ve:y little busi-
ness will be transacte In the House dur

Will be received and read on Tue day If

AxoNc THE GRAVES.
Where Farmer EiiIns Found the
Horse He Thinks Wss Stolen.
Especial to the Press. !

WALDoBoRo, December 8 There was a
case of horse stealing or something else in
East Jefferson one night this week which
is causing considerable comment. Brad
ford Ellins is a farmer. living in remote
quarter of the town, with no neighbOrs
nearer than quarter of mile except his
brother-in-law, Martin E. Cleary, who lives
within stones throw, across the road.
Mr.. Ellins went to his barn at night Just
before going to bed, as he always does, to
make sure that everything was as it should
be. He found, as soon as he went into the
barn, that one of his two horses was miss
ing. The harness was there hanging on a
peg, but the hsrse was gone.--ssFhe halter
that the horsenad on when last seen was
IN the feed oobln the stall and everything
sise 81 encs Ssi BIS ohsre vrd MI EIns
his brother-in-aw secured the town for
several miles looking through all of the
dooryards and pastures they could get into
but without success. Alter coming back
they searched around Mr.. Ellins's door
yard for tracks finally fading some scat
tered prints of horses feet. There were
not enough to lead to any clue as to the
direction taken by the missing horse.
In the morning Mr.. Clea-y took his team
and continued the search driving toward
NoIth Waldoboro. Upon coming TO
grave yard, he was astOnished to see his
brothers horse in amongst the gravestones
cropping grass as contentedly as though In
Mr.. Ellins's pasture. Mr.. Cleary tried to
catch the horse, but he could not get pear
enough so he finally drove back home and
took Mr.. Ellins and the halter and went
again to the graveyard. Between them
they managed to corner the horse and lead
him back home. The horse showed no
signs of having had harness on and was
cool and apparently in good condition, ex-
cept that the off hind leg had three small
cuts on it, looking, according to the men,
as though there had been an attempt at
hamstringing.
The barn is kept fastened and MIR. ,Ellias
found it SO when he went in with his Lam
tern. 1t is mystery to all whether the
horse went through the door or was let out
by human hands.

"and have the confident expectation of ma
terially increasing this following early in

election even after 10 h0nrs of balloting,
the two leading candidates have demon

One of a Band of DynamIters-
Crank season Booming.

NEW YORK, December 6-The crank
season Is booming here. Otto Weyrauck
was afraigDed in the police court today,
charged with sending threatening letter
to a retired wine merchant named Conrad
Harris. Weyrauck is avid looking fel-
low, about 90 years old, a German, with no
permanent residence. About a year ago
he asked Mr.. Harris for money, which he
got. He repeated his requests for aid un-
til Mr.. Harris grew tired Of him and re-
fused to give him more money. Saturday,
Mr.. Harris received letter from Wey-
rauck demanding $500 and informing him
that If he paid no attention to the request
he woufd be the next man TO be blown up.
Mr.. Harris handed the letter to the police,
and Weyrauck was arrested. A large en-
yelope was found on him containing pho
tOgraph of himself and letter headed
'My last will and testament to the grave
digger" Following this was the state
ment, please do not handle me rough un-
til you know am dead" Weyrauck told
the judge he wrote the letter In spirit of
fun. He was committed pending an exam
instion as to his sanity.
Joseph flasher, an idiotic fellow, aged %
dressed in the uniform Of an United States
soldier, attempted to shoot Thomas Farrall
mere today he Sald man naQ called
him Bismarck" and he fired at Farrall in
mistake. He was held in $500 for trial.
The inquest In the case Of the Russell
Sage bomb thrower will not be held until
the wounded have recovered sufficiently to
appear and testify. The brain of the
bomb thrOwer Is undergoing the hardening
process at the Carnegie laboratory. A
microscopic analysis will be made. His
head has been picked and will be shown
at the inquest. Hundreds Of people have
viewed the chastity features at the operat-
ing room of the morgue, but thus far no
one has Identified them.
w. ID. S0uthw worth, who came from San
Francisco some time ago, was arrested here
today. 1t is thought he knows something
about the bomb throwing in Mr.. Sage's
Office and that he belongs to an organized
band of conspirators in this city, who have
sworn to kill the monOpolists. SOuthworth,
when shown the head of the bomb thrower,
said he had never seen the man in his life.
Captain Harry Horne, dime museum lee
turer, asserts that the bomb thrower was
introduced by Southw0rth to him. South
worth was formerly an anarchist. The
chief of police of San Francisco telegraphs
a good description of the prisoner and says
he was crank on railroads and subject to
crazy spells.
Tonight Russell Sage is said to be still
greatly prOStrated.

DANCE AND DEATH.
Their Friends at q Fete
When Miners Died.
Seventy-three Killed In a
French COlliery.
Festivities Stopped as
Work of Rescue Began.

PARIS. December 6.-An explosion OF
fire damp occurred today in one OF the
numerous coal pits near ST. Etienne, In the
department of the Loire. According to
the first advices eighty men perlshed 10 the
pit. Later. the number of the dead was
said to be seventy-three.
The explosion occurred In the Puietz de
la MdnTacture belonging to the st. Ell
enne Colliery Company. Dense volumes
of smoke issued from the mouth of this
and the connecting pit. Soon crowds OF
relatives and friends of the imprisoned
workmen gathered about. the entrance OF
the pit prepared for the work of rescue.
Today was observed as fete day and
comparatively small number Of men
were at work In the mine. A the first at
tempt to rescue the imprisoned meD, the
rescuers were driven back by the foul
fumes that poured from the shaft, and for
nearly an hour, nothing could be done to
aid the miners in the pit. When the shaft
was sufficiently cleared, the rescuers de-
Icended and began the work OF exploration
The gallery they found had collapsed, pre-
venting access to the imprisoned men.
After working several hours In relays, the
rescuers cleared away portion OF the
debris and few minutes later came across
the bodies of four miners. The men were
unconscious but still alive, and were quick
ly sent to the surface where they soon re-
vived. Soon afterwards, another rescning
party sent to the surface four more victims,
all of whom were quickly restored TO con-
sclousness. The rescuers found IT I'M
possible to reach the other Imprisoned
men.

Bosworth Post Fair.

To The Editor OF the Press:
No moIe worthy appeal has been made TO the
public this season than the one now made for
Bosworth Post fair.
Certainly we must have home for the Young
Mems Christian Association, and we must have
funds to care for our friends the dumb animals.
but more important than these is the duty and
care Of the needy soldier or his widow and
children. To bs sure many OF Them receive
pension OF sS month, although the average
pension Is much smaller; but when we remem-
Der that at least O. a month must be paid for
rent 1t will be seen that something more Is to be
done. This responsibility rests upon every
home. The only object OF the coming fair Is 10
raise funds for this relief work. That this re.
lief work Is Of signal importance may be real
lied from the following statement; boswOrth
Post through Its relief committee paid In S5S,
Sl,065; 1889, S2,t72; 1880, 81, l,lBO, and dur
ing the past 20 years s2l,Oo0 has been pald.
and much OF this money paid TO soldiers who
are not members OF the post.
BOswOrtn Post has not held iair Tor IL
years, and do rot ask charity row. IL only
claims the generous support, which Portland
gives to other worthy objects.

Tne Seventeen Weary Roll Calls
Which Ended In a Truce.

WASHINGTON, December 5.-When the
Democratic caucus assembled today the
roll call showed the presence of all the
Democratic members except seven. The
absentses included the five candidates. and
Messrs. Ryan Of Missouri, who has a brok-
en- leg, it is said. aud Buchanan Of Vir-
gina, who is sick.
The various candidates were placed In
nomination. Mr.. Mills was nominated by
Mr.. Culberson of Texas; Mr.. Crisp, by
Mr.. Blount of Georgia; Mr.. Springer, by
Mr.. Newberry of Illinois; Mr.. McMillin,
by Mr.. Richardson of tennessee, and Mr..
Hatch by Mr.. Bland of Missouri.
Mr.. Springer's candidacy was handl-
capped by the fact that three men of his
own state delegation deserted him, and
went to Mr.. Mills upon the first ballot.
Roll call followed roll call from after
noon until late at night. When the 18th
ballot had been taken the members were
so exhausted in body and spirit that the
leaders, although reluctant to do so, were
forced to agree TO an adjournment TO 10 a.
N. Monday. The story of today's ballot
ing follows:
