CHARLESTON, ". VA, January 19.-The
Smith-O'Kane contest case in the House OF
Delegates NAV be regarded as permanent
ly settled, the House having refused TO
order a recount Of the ballots OF Ohio cOun-
". The question came up in the House
this morning, on mOJion of Mr.. koontz, OF
Fayette county, 20 take up the resolution
offered by Judge Maxwell, instructing the
Committee on Privileges and Elections 70
recount the ballots of Ohio county. Mr..
KOontz Republican) Of Fayette, made an
acrimonious speech, in which he charged
the Democratic side with violating their
promises to give Smith his seat II II
should appear that ne was elected.
McAllister, of Cabel, proposed an
amendment to the resolution providing
taat the expenses Of the recount should
be paid BY Mr. Smith. Mr. Wilson made
the point that the House could not properly
order a recount Of Ohio cOunty's vote until
a contest was instituted by Mr.. Smith In
the regular way. No such contest had
been instituted, and he maintained that
without the institution OF contest proceed
ings, the House had neither law nor pre-
cedent for ordering recount. Mr.. Nc
Allister SAID he was in favor OF acting
fairly with all concerned in the matter,
but theQuestiOn Of the right OF Mr.. O'Kane
TO the seat claimed by him, had been passed
upon by the House, that the resolution to
reopen the case be regarded as only piece
of political buncOmbe, and he would there
fore vote against the resolution, He with
drew the amendment proposed by him 10

taken on its adoption. IL was defeated by

CHARLESTON, W. VA, January 19-The
friends Of Mrs. John r. Kenna have been
circulating a petition to-day among the
mem 0ers of the Legislature TO secure for
her the Charleston postoffice, but ii seems
that they have not met with the success
which they anticipated. Nearly every
body in Charleston who possesses any pO-
ltical influence in the Democratic party
has already signed the petition of Capt.
Sam MatheSOn, chairman OF kanawha
Caunty Democratic Committee, and they
all seem 20 want Capt. MathesOn TO have
the pOstOiliCe.
Ithas been reported that Senator Kenna
left his affairs in pretty bad shape, but an
inquiry shows thar it is probably not the
case His Washington residence is not
paid for, but the late Senator carried life
insurance policy Of $4,000, and THIS, il is
thought, will more than cover his debts II
is presumed that if Mrs. Kenna should sue

the Office during Cleveland's first term,
would take charge OF the Office and be the

the case draws to close. To-day the de-

much length that it was not alone moral
conditions that had led TO the arrest
and prosecution of the accused. Po-
litical considerations, ne declared. had
much to do with the prosecution, and be
emphatically insisted that the men he
was defending should rot be made scape
goats for the advantage of any party or
faction, or to advance the design of am
bilious men. He mai ntained that the pro-
bitv OF his clients was in no wise affected
by the indictment on which they were
standing trial. NJ. Barbeux eulogized NJ.
Ferdinand De Lesseps as man OF the
highest character. When Maitre Baroeux
had finished, the court adjourned until

But They at Length Came Out All Right.
very strange story was heard Thurs
day i'll regard to the wholesale hocus-
sing OF Wilmington real estate men. On
investigation it appears to have great
deal of truth in it.
The story is that mar visiting here on
business from New York city got himself
caught in certain company here, and while
i'll condition that left him unconscious
OF what was going on around his pockets
were riflGd by his entertainers. 10 the
establishment of the latter they found in
his pockets q bank check for $4,000.
result OF this was that the visitor was
taken the best care Of. He was driven
around town in fine livery team and he
Jared sumptuously every day.
The man accepted his good fortune so
the story goes, and assumed the role of u
rich citizen from the metropolis looking
around Wilmington for gilt.edged real
estate investments.
Meanwhile rumors Of the rich mans
presence here and his mission in Whining
ton reached the real estate men ears. They
were at once all agog, and fguratively, but
none the less truly, stood hat in hand in Il
circle around their idol, bowling and scrap
ing, ami offering their wares with profuse
explanation and crowding of one another
TO see how much they could unload on the
Several bargains were accepted and
others placed On train. The first purchase
was Broome street house for which q
deed and the papers were passed for
$4,000. Other transactions are rumorcd.
Suddenly, however, dark rumors got to
the ears of the real estate agents. II was
discovered that the $4,000 check was
bogus. The story was. traced down to how
the paper came to light. No one could
blame the New Yorker as he never pro-
duced il. Then everything fell Hat. The
men who had made the bargains hustled
around to undo them again. There was no
difficulty in this, us the New Yorker had
not the slightest intention of really de-
frauding any one or of allowing the Incl
dent to go too far. He Immediately re.
leased all the real estate men,
Those who feel the worst over the matter
are his first entertainers who now have to
pay the champagne and livery bills.
