Only Ten Representatives In Their Seats In
the House Yesterday,
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-THE approach of
the holidays was manifest IN the House to-
day. Few of the very few members in at
tendance paid any attention to the pro-
ceedings. The committee on military
affairs succeeded in passing a few bills Of
MINOR Importance.
Mr.. Breckinrid &c of Kentucky. from the
committee on appropriations. reported the
Notifications appropriation bill. Ind it was
placed on the calendar. He gave notice
Jan. 5.
Mr. Otis. q Kansas Populist. asked con
sent for the passage of a resolution in
structing the committee on ways and
means to report back at an early date a
bill imposing q income tax. Mr.. Springer
objected.
On motion of Mr.. Anderson q resolution
was adopted calling on the Secretary of
the Interior for n statement showing the
names OF persons who have resigned or
been discharged from the Census Bureau.
Then the special order was called up. be-
ing the bill authorizing the Secretary of
the Treasury to settle the accounts
between the government and state or
Florida. This measure being In committee
OF the WnOie, Mf. BULLOCK, OF flOrluas
moved that the House resolve itself into
such committee for it's consideration. but
Mr.. Burrows proved q stumbling block.
He demanded u division. and in n House
which ought to be composed of 3z5 MEM
bers there was q vote by division of 8 af-
firmatlve and 2 negative. Mr.. Burrows
suggested that this was a bill that involved
the appropriation of half q million dol
lars. and raised the point of no quorum.
No quorum appeared. but MIR. Burrows re-
Tented and withdrew his point, with the
understanding that no vote should be
taken to-day. The effect of this agreement
IL that the bill will lose its privileged char
acter and will De relegated TO the calendar.
The House then. In the committee
of the whole, proceeded to the con-
sIderation of the measure. Represent
atives Bullock and Mansur were It's chief
advocates. and Senator Pasco was an inter-
ested listener. In the course of inquiries
addressed to the two former gentlemen.
bir. Dingley ELECTED some information.
The claim is to reimburse the State of
Florida for EXPENSES incurred in the Semi
mole Wal of 1851. According to Mr.. Ding
ley there were but ninety-six Seminoles en-
gagged in the outbreak. Congress had al
ready paid 10 the persons who had put
down the outbreak the amount of $500 per
Indian. 1t was now proposed to pay them
$1,000 per Indian additional. No action
was taken on the measure. and then Mr..
Meyer announced the death of Senator
Gibson, of Louisiana. As q mark OF respect
TO the memory of the deceased, the House
adjourned.

Justice Lamar's Condition.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Dec. 17.-It is probable that JUS
tice Lamar, OF the United States Supreme Court,
viii not sit again with the court during the pres
ent term. The illness which has confined him
to his bed for several days past, and for inter-
mittent periods before the present attack, does
not show any signs Of rapid improvement. Al
though lie Is not considered dangerous, the fami-
ly OF the venerable jurist think Ii best TO remove
him To some climate better suited for treatment.
Justice Lamar, &c Ia believed, needs rest more
provement which was perceptible yesterday and
to-day should continue he viii probably be re-
moved from Washington to some place not yes
decided upon.

two GREAT ATTRACTIONS.
A Great Spread of Choice Cigars, Hunt
doris aud Smokers Materials for
the Holidays.

Indianapolis can step to the front with
two paramount attractions. One of these
is the ldier monument, the other Is just
half a square further east-Louis G. Desch-
ler's cigar store, corner of Market and
Pennsyivanis streets. opposite the post
office.
This Is the handsomest cigar store In the
West and unexcelled in beauty and arrange
ment anywhere on earth. 1t 10. indeed. q
tobacco emporium to which Indianapolis
can point with pride, and which should be
shown to visitors as one of the sights of the
city.
Mr.. Deschler has the largest and choicest
stock of fine cigars ever in the State OF In
diana, ranging from the ordinary prices to
$50 a hundred-that Is half a dollar each.
OF course this is the limit es to price, and
Is only noted TO show the extent of his
stock and it's variety. His showing os i'm
ported cigars is q delight and revelation to
any smoker.
In the line of holiday specialties he
shows an assortment of fancy Cigar boxes
called HunlIdors. arranged to keep choice
cigars In prime condition. These boxes are,
therefore. not merely ornamental. but
highly useful TO gentlemen who appreciate
o good cigar.
Mr.. Deschler also shows q large line of
pipes. Gun oIaclDR every tniDR from the
genuine French briars, which he shows In
many shapes. mp to the finest meer-
schaums. In cigar-holders his offerings
are the finest and ~fanciest this city has
ever known.
Naturally enough smoking tobaccos
should be considered with pipes, and of
these Mr.. Deschler has the very choicest
and best that are manufactured. he has
two special mixtures for which there is
great demand and of which he has in this
city the exclusive sale.
Here are displayed articles which will
be in demand for Christmas presents. They
are silver-Dlated pocket lamps, and are
neatly and conveniently put up in plush
cases. One of these Will make q very hand
some little gift from q lady TO a gentleman.
This beautiful store invites the patron
age of ladies who desire something TO pre-
sent to gentlemen friends. 1t is as tasty
as a parlor. and no lady need hesitate to
enter, as there are never any loungers
about the place. About Christmas times
ladies remember that the gentlemen al
ways swear off on Jan. !, and should always
help to make thor last DAYS pleasant by
presenting them q last box of fragrant
Havanas.
Byron has sung of tobacco:
Divine in hookahs, glorious In q pipe
When tipped with amber rich and ripe,
And Mr.. Deschler has an assortment OF
beautiful water-pipes-nargileha hookahs
and hubble-bubbIes that would
Delight a Hindoo FROM the Irrawaddy.

STUART CONTEST.

Last weeks voting was large and
interesting and brought Miss Tyus
close to the two leaders. The posi-
tions of the candidates, at 9 o'clock
Saturday night, were as follows
Miss Villa Williams, Arkansas.
Mrs. Dave Edwards, Texas.
Miss Mozelle Tyus, Texas.
Miss Lizzie Rosborough, Texas.
Miss Carrie Tylor, Texas.
There is an exciting and interesting
contest, which yet seems to be confin-
ed to the two leaders, Miss Williams
and Mrs. Edwards, though 1t is posi-
BILE that some lady may yet get in the
lead of both, as large blocks of ballots
were cast for Miss Tyus, during the
past week. On next Friday evening
we will publish the last official an
nouncement of the standing of the
candidates. The polls will close on
Monday, at 10 O'Clock a. m. All par
ties who have been running accounts
are urged to settle same this week, so
that they may secure the votes they
are entitled to cast II will only be

NOT so BAD.

There has been a great deal of talk
about Texarkana being a bad town,
and having hard name and like all
young, growing and thriving Western
towns, it has, no doubt, given some
ground for the accusation. But if we
are to judge by external evidences
Texarkana is not worse than her
neighbors, perhaps better, in some
respects. Take for example the re-
ports of two Grand Juries which met
recently, one in this city, and the other
in Paris, Tex, for their respective fed
eral districts. These courts were es-
tablished at or near the same time'
and cover relatively about the same
space of territory, with the following
difference as to results, The Texar-
kama Grand Jury returned less than
20 true bills, all told, while the delib-
erations of that body in Paris, Tex,
is told thus: The federal grand jury
adjourned to day after being in ses-
sion nearly five weeks. During its
session 3l6 cases were investigated.
No bills were found in 1l0 cases and
bills in 206 cases. The indictments
returned are as follows: Murder 20,
assault to murder 27, horse theft "a,
introducing and selling liquor in the
Indian territory rs, bigamy 8, perjury
5, adultery 5. miscellaneous l6,
Of course this includes large scope
of surrounding country, but then, all
towns are made up from the country,
and may be judged to a greater or
less extent by their surroundings.
This is not, in any sense, intended as
reflection upon our sister city, as we
regard Paris as the Queen city of
North Texas, and the equal in every
respect, of any other Western town of
like size, but, is merely one of the
many comparisons that might be made
to prove TeXarkaua no worse than
her neighbors.
