His Appointment to the Cabinet
Unexpected.


CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-J. Sterling Nor
ton, who will be the next secretary Of
agriculture, reached Chicago Saturday
evening from New York. "Was my
appointment unexpected" said Mr..
Morton. smiling. as he repeated the
question that he had been asked. GIN
deed it was. [ received a telegram
Wednesday from Mr.. Cleveland, asking
me if | could come to Lakewood at once
and see him. | reached there Friday
afternoon, and he offered me the port
folio befo.e l had been five minutes in

Speaking of the other cabinet places
yet untitled, Mr.. Morton says: al have
not the slightest idea as to who will be
asked 10 fill them, and no one | met in
New York seemed to know anything
definite. Mr.. Cleveland himself was
reticent on the subject. One thing | did
notice, and that was that there did
not seem to be any jealousy In the least
regarding the prizes that have fallen to

DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.
Turnover OF the City Govern
ment of Pittsburg.

PITTSBURG, Feb. 2l.-The municipal
elections here today ended the bitterest
campaign in years. The result on the
mayoraIty is still in doubt, with the in
dications pointing to the election of
Bernard McKenna, Democrat, over
John S. Lambie, Republican, and
Messrs. Kerr and Bienbauer, Independ-
ents. Hon. IL. |. Gourley, the present
mayor, elected on the Republican tick
ct three years ago, was elected comp
trOller on the Democratic ticket by at
least 5000 majority. Joseph E. Denni
son, Republican, was reelected treas
urer. If McKenna should be successful,
it will DE the first Democratic mayor
elected in twelve years. At midnight
the result was still in doubt. In Allie
gheny Mayor Kenny, Republican, was
reelected by about $500 plurality.
The election was probably never so
holly contested as today. The contests
we're between the politicians Oh one
hand, who have controlled the city gov
eminent for twenty-five years, and the
Democrats and citizens on the other.
The fremen and police officers were
working at the polls all day in the in
terests of the politicians ticket. AS
result, when an alarm of fire was turned
in this morning there were not enough
firemen on duty in the district to com
bat the flames. One building was de-
Stroyed almost without an effort to save
it. In the Fifth ward the ballots were
stolen and not recovered for three hours
after the polls opened. The ward is

MARSHFIELD. Wis, Feb. Cit was
made known this morning that the
large brewery firm OF Scheibe & Schnei-
der, of this city, had made assignment
yesterday for the benefit of their cred
itors, wages of employees preferred, to
w. Il. Jones, of Centralia, Wis. The
brewery is among the largest of the
kind in the Northwest, having
a capacity of from $4,000 to $4,000
barrels yearly, with yearly sales
amounting to 10000 barrels. The
assets of the company are placed at
$1,000. with liabilities aggregating
between $4,000 and 100000. The failure
is due to improvements and machinery
put in during the past two years. A
complete list OF creditors cannot be as
certained. Among the Milwaukee firms
concerned in the failure with amounts
due them averaging from $500 to IS, 800
are the FrOdert Malt company, Kiewert

William Topper IL Son, Il. Roenheimer
