The Election Bill Disposed OF.

The most important event Of the pres
anl Congress took place in the Senate
On Monday afternoon when the much
talked about Lodge Bill or Force Bill
Qas sidetracked and the silver bill
pushed ahead in its place. This was &C.
cDmplished by revolt Of eight Repub-
lican Senators who have been known to
We unfavorably TO the elections bill but
70 be. extremely anxious for the passage
II the measure for the free coinage of
n YER. Senator Hoar, who hes had
cl,arge OF the bill and who has ably
e,lampioned it in the Senate, was COM
R,etely taken by surprise. For some
reason Vice-President Morton left the
etair and called Senator Harris, Of Ten
sessee, to take his place. Senator George,
of Mississippi, was speaking on the bill.
The News-Herald. [volume] (Hillsboro, Highland Co., Ohio) 1886-1973, 1891-01-08

Steward, the Republican member from
Nevada, asked George to yield him his
place. and before any one knew Just
what had happened Stewart had moved
to take up the free coinage bill. Senator
Hoar was furious, as he claimed George
had violated an agreement with him in
yielding the floor to Stewart. Harris, of
course, sustained Stewart, and when
Hoar appealed it was found that ma.
jority Of the Senate sustained the chairs.
The following is General Boynton,s s
graphic account of the scene in the Sen.
ate
Mr.. Harris was presiding when Mr..
Stewart asked MIR. George to yield for a
motion.
"Does the Senator from Mississippi
yield to the Senator from Nevada ?" in.
Quired Mr. Harris, in the most matter
Of fact way. Almost before MIR. George
had signified his willingness Mr.. Stewart
was moving to take up Senate Bill No.
4,675, ITO provide against the construc.
ton of the currency, and for other pur.
poses" Senator Hoar actually gasped
for breath at this proposition, but he
managed to make the point instantly
that the Senator from Mississippi could
not yield the floor in that manner after
his understanding with him (Hoar).
Senator Harris promptly overruled
Mr.. Hoar, who was getting redder and
redder with indignation, as he begun to
realize the situation. He continued to
appeal, but in Q oignified way, against
Mr.. Georges breach of faith, but Sena-
tor German, taking the cue, made de.
mands for the regular order, which was
Senator Stewards motion. Mr.. George,
with show of innocence that did credit
to his power OF acting, asked unanimous
consent to reply to Mr.. Hoar's point OF
order, whereupon there was vigorous
chorus Of Democratic "noes" at once,
which was evidently just what Mr..
George expected. Mr.. Hoar found that
he could not fight the Chair and the
whole Democratic side, when they were
supporting 30 active . skirmisher as
Stewart, and he gave away sullenly with
9 hnal demand for the yeas and nays.
During this ll.call, upon which the fate
OF the elections bill practically hung, it
was an interesting study to watch Sena.
tor Hoar's face. When Jones and Stew.
ott VI NoV6ua VOt6u WIN tno DemOCf0CS,
he made no sign, but when Stanford and
Teller and Walcott and Washburn, and
the two new Idaho Senators went over,
he grew pale and compressed his lips as
if in pain. The desertion of Mcconnell
and Shoup, of Idaho, was the worst fea
tnre of the proceeding from Senator
Hoar's point of view.
The federal elections Republicans had
been counting on these two votes for
weeks to increase the majority for the
bill, and their cases had been expedited
by the Committee on Elections. Shoup
was sworn in last week and Mcconnell
was sworn in to day. Their first vote
was with the Democratic combination.
Although the financial bill has been
taken up by decided majority. it does
not follow that there will be financial
legislation. The majority of to day is
for free coinage, but the Republican mi.
nority is OPPOSED to it. The financial
bill is therefore in exactly the same po.
sition as the Federal elections bill was
with the forces changed.

HOW CINCINNATI RECEIVED THE MARIE

HOW CINCINNATI RECEIVED THE MARIE
GREENWOOD TROUPE.
There are plenty Of good amusements
ahead to be given at the Opera House.
They come as follows VeIdetta, Oct.
9Th; Last Days of Pompeii,' - great spec
tacular play, Oct. 9th; Shakespeare come
dy Of "Twelfth Night, with ulia Marlowe
in the leading character, Oct. 18th, and the
''Herminie" opera troupe, Oct. 18th.
The Marie Greenwood opera company
appeared in Cincinnati Monday night, for
the first time in so large a city, and it's sue
cess confirmed Staunton' judgment Of it's
merits. We extract the following from
the Enquirer's notice of the troupe:
1t isn't often that the public gets more from
show than they expect, but such was the
case with the performance OF the Marie Green
wood Opera Company at the Pike last night.
For several years this organization has been
playing the cities and smaller towns in the
South being too modest to venture into place
the size Of Cincinnati From the character of
its work last night it can hold its own with
many OF the more pretentious companies pre-
senting comic opera, and the large audience
was agreeably surprised by the excellence OF
the production of little French opera called
''Denisette''
Cincinnati had the first opportunity last
night to listen to Miss Marie Greenwood, who
is great favorite wherever she has appeared.
She has very pleasing soprano voice which
she uses like ali artist. Her method is good
and she gives much taste and expression to
her singing. The country prima donna made
a decided hit and her rendition of the waltz
song, STELLA was such an admirable bit of
singing that she was most enthusiastically
encored. She responded with Southern
melody which was also most heartily APP
plauded and she was compelled to repeat it.

A Troublesome Record.

1 lie w OOuSlOCh, IOlleHdIluOttu, dofUtu vi
last Friday has the following:
VIM. Windle, who calls himself the State
lunatic, and, who, as our readers will remem-
Der, raised hurricane i'll the Jail here one
night a few weeks ago, escaped from the Asy-
lum at Staunton for the second time the first
of last week. He made his way to the lower
end of the county where he has been living,
and soon went to work to show the devil that
is in him. On Sunday night he set fire to a
shed containing drill, buggy rake and other
farming implements belonging to his brother,
having first chained them together so that
they could not be pulled out even if discover
ed in time. Sheriff Wightman was notified,
him. Windle managed to elude them, and on
Monday night went into Strasburg armed
with large butcher knife for the purpose as
he said, of killing some parties. He vapored
around there until a number OF men got after
him when he attempted to escape by flight
but was overtaken knocked down and tied
and brought to Jail here. On Tuesday Sher-
if Wightman returned with him to the
Asylum.
The Woodstock County Record adds
shis paragraph, showing pretty warm
state of feeling among the people of that
locality F:
From all that has been published concern,
ing Windle it becomes more and more evident
beyond either question or shadow OF doubt
that he must be properly secured where he
can injure neither person nor property The
lives Of many good and innocent people are
at stake. Windle's life is at stake, We
understand that the people OF the lower
end of the county are in that state OF
mind in which they have come to the conclu-
sion that forbearance has ceased to be VII
tue, and that should he again appear in theil
midst and begin anew his hostile demonstra'
tions, his sudden taking off would be consid-
cred in the light of justifable self,defense
We hope in consideration Of these facts, the
officials of the Western Lunatic Asylum, t6
which institution he has been returned, will
observe the proper caution with regard to his
body

Trouble Behind the Scenes.

MI. w. ii. Hayes of the "Jim the Wes-
terner" company, which arrived here We'd
nesday evening from Roanoke, was enquir-
ing around how he could obtain a warrant
for A. M. DeLisser, the Manager of the
company. His story was that on the stage
at Roanoke during the performance TIES
day night, he accidentally tripped up one
of the lady performers and she fell on the
stage. The Manager fined him IS fer it,
but in addition charged him with not hay
ing been gentleman enough to apologize to
the lady. Hayes said he had apologized:
the Manager applied an epithet to him and
a fight came off, in which Hayes says the
Manager drew pistol on him. IL was for
this last act that Hayes wanted the warrant.
He was informed that a warrant could not
be issued in Staunton for a misdemeanor
committed in Roanoke. Mr.. Hayes did
not appear here with the company We'd
nesday night, but left with it yesterday
morning.

its semi-annual decoration day last Monday.
The store was closed early Saturday even

it opened in all it's glory. The front was
an arbor of many-hued autumn leaves, from
which peeped out the legend ''La Saison

dressed and had many curiosities, such as
sentences spelled in buttons, and the like.
Inside, the store was decorated with autumn
