MARTIN KEEriNG ouIEr.

There is much curiosity umoug the
republican senators regarding the delay
of Standardized Martin of Kansas in
presenting his credentials as the sue
SCISSOR of Senator Perkins Several nt-
lemplN nave been made TO get am cx-
plantation of the situation from senator
feher. While the politicians Ia knu,gts
are rioting among themselves. MIR
Ie1er maintains n discreet silence ns tD
the motives of his future colleague. A
few days ago a Republican srnator who
might be termed an offensive partisan.
NJ the suggestion OF some of bis coi'
leagues undertool, 20 interview senator
PETER ON the subject. The conversation
which followed was something like this.
Good morning, Brother PETER | un-

senator where Is Judge MARTINI"

replied Senator PETER

Senator PETER adjusted an additional
pair of Roldrimmed eyeglasses ON his
nose, looked inqulrinely at his Repub-
llcnu friend. and said
''Ihe atmosphere Of Washington ia

II Is understood that Judge Martin Is
acting upon the advice Of his friends In
Withholding his credentials for the pres

them until aftcr The 9Th Of March when
the seat win probably be given him with.

that the Republicans are DESTROYS tint he

POOR HOUSE CONTROVERSY.

The Commissioners of Carroll County
Want to Collect Bill From the Stark
County People.
The inflrmary directors are today hold
ing their regular monthly meeting In the
basement of the court house, setting up
claims and formulating plans for the con,
Quoting of Stark county poor house. This
afternoon they are at loggerheads with
the inflrmary force OF Carroll county.
The Carroll county infirmary directors,
P. W. Adams, Louis E. Snieltz and John
Eick, reinforced by Superintendent
Hiram Long and Prosecuting Attorney r.
E. Mcdonald appeared before the direcS
tors of the county and asked them to
settle a bill of about S400, which
they claimed Stark county
man had contracted at the Carroll county
poor house. The facts in the case show
that one John Messerly formerly was an
inmate of the Children's home at Mt.
Union. He was bound out to man in
Mahoning county but he ran away and
fidally brought up in Carroll county where
he took sick and was thrown onto the
public. The infirmsry people there claim
they cared for him $400 worth and they
want the money. Stark directors don't
want to pay il as II is not clear that Mes.
serIy was q citizen of this county.

HIS MIND IMPAIRED.
g. W, Todd viii be sent to the County
Inflrmary.

q. W, Todd Will be 5ent to the County
Infirmary.
The fellow who gave his name as G. W.
Todd, and who was arrested on last
Thursday at midnight at the car barn in
this city, says the Masslloniap, was ad.
judged an unfit subject to be at large, by
Judge Fawcett yesterday afternoon, and
will be sent to the county inflrmary for
the present, until 1t can be seen how his
case develops and whether his state is
caused by drink or otherwise. At diffors
ent times when the officials would enter
the jail Todd would become terribly inc
sane and remark that he was going to be
shot. On Saturday night as Marshal
Hagan entered Todd exclaimed that the
A. p. A. society were after him and ins
tended shooting him. He also stated that
his wife was in the next cell and that
either he or she had to be killed. At an>
other time he was found partly undressed
and when questioned why he was In that
state, he answered that he was to be shot
shortly, and that he was preparing for
his coffin, which he claimed. with q sbroud,
was Just outside the cell. During Judge
Fawcetts interview with him he seemed
rational and perfectly sane, and when
asked il he remembered his saying about
being shot and the coffin, answered that
he did, but remarked that IL was caused
by drink. The man Ia very weak, and II
was found necessary to send him TO the
infirmary, which the township trustees
did.

WAYNE COUNTY POLITICS.

Louis p. Ohliger Seems to Have Won.
Louis P. Ohliger seems to have won In
the factional Democratic fight In Wayne
county. The convention met Saturday
and the following ticket was nominated:
Representative, G.. A. Weiser; Probate
Judge, John c. McClarran; Auditor, Henry
Marshall; Treasurer, C. M. Lovett, Res
corder, Florian Shaiter; Commissioner,
Michael M. Miller; Inflrmary Director,
John Martin.
The contest for these offices was very
close and there Ia some comfort in the list
for both sides.
1t was pretty we'll understood, however,
that the election OF the central commit.
teemen from the different precincts was
the big bone of contention between the
opposing factions In the ranks of the
Democracy of Wayne county, the attempts
of Chairman OhiiRer's party opponents to
down him with Judge Dowelps decision
that the Executive Committee is "the
controlling committeen stirring up the
Democrats generally to unusual exertions.
The MarchAnd mon got nothing but the
Barber law, apparently, out of ell their
resorts to the courts, the Ohliger faction
claimed, in the election of the Central
Committee for the ensuing year.
The Executive Committee met on the
stage of the Academy of music after the
convention and organized as follows:
Chairman, L. =. Ohliger; Vice Chairman,
A. ID. Metz; Secretary, Il. E. Pickinphugh,
Treasurer, b. II. Eason.

A GLORIOUS TIME.

Over 100 Guests Received by Teacher
Fierstos, Yesterday.
A pleasant surprise was rendered the
teachers and scholars Of Freeman's
school house, District No. 3, Perry town
ship, by their parents and friends yester.
day.
The Visiting contingent marched into
the school house In n body while the
teacher was engaged in recitiDg class.
The party numbered seventy fvo. 1t ia
needless to say that the teacher almost
lost bis self control by the invasion of
such an army of friends, but after slightly
recovering, he dismissed his school and
greeted his visitors cordially. A large
table was set under the shade trees In the
yard, which was soon filled with tempting
delicacies. Twenty large cakes were
there, one of which was present to the
teacher from his grandparents. In due
time dinner was announced, and over one
hundred sat down to as fine meal, from
all points Of view as,ever graced a table.
The afternoon was n most enjoyable
one, being spent In social chats and a
good game of ball, after which the teach
er made brief address followed by two
class recitations aud declamatioua by The
following pupils: Nelson Bauruch, doe
Rogers, Estelia Rogers, Anna Koons,

SAN FRANCISCO, June THE steamer
Galile has arrived from Hong Kong ana
Yokohama via Honolulu, bringing ad-
vices from the latter place. 1t may be
positively stated that Minister Blount
has come heartily to approve of the
revolution and probably justifies nearly
all of the course of ex-Minister Ste
vens. He has never for an instant
thought of restoring the ex-queen or
causing it to be done, notwithstanding
the general and persistent assertion Of
the royalists that he so intended.
Whether he will recommend annexa-
ton is not clear. He may possibly take
the grounds that it is undesirable on &C
count of the large proportion of nom
American population.
A royalist rumor is now unusually
strong and positive that the eX-queen
will be restored on June II. The gov
ernment is we'll advised of the existence
of a definite conspiracy among the baser
class of whites to carry out this plan.

some source of supplies. 1t is expected
that Minister Blount will soon be pre-
pared to proceed with negotiations look
ing toward a proclamation of a tenn
porary arrangement leaving the way
open for treaty Of annexation. There
is some reason to believe that some. cor
respondence on the subject has already
passed between Blount and the govern
ment, which will probably give friendly
consideration to such propositions as
may be made from Washington.
Claus Spreckels returned few days
ago from his second visit to Maui in a
violent temper at having been unable to
bring the planters and other leading
business men over to his plan of an in
dependent government. Although he
| previously had no decided idea of re-
| storing the monarchy, he now speaks of
| 1t as probable and has even threatened
that it will come. He is in constant
communication with the ex-Queen and
her chief adherents. 1t is nearly GER
tain that the conspiracy is based upon
the expectation Of his support, which, il
| given, would render it extremely for
midable in Honolulu. Spreckels has
demanded the immediate payment OF
sos, 900 owed him by the government.
In making the demand he said he did
not consider that his plans for republic
had received proper consideration and
he did not see why his money should be
used to further the plans of his oppo-
| nentS.

TOLEDO, o., June 7.-lSpecial. REV.
Dr.. j. A. P. MacGaw, Toledo delegate to
the Presbyterian General Assembly, who
has rendered his resignation as pastor of
the First Presbyterian church, says that
this action was due to variety of causes

and John Morgan Gets Stuck on q Sand
Bar.
Landlord Simonds and Mrs. Simonds Of
the Hurford House, Mrs. Mclaughlin and
Mr.. John Morgan, went to Congress Lake
Tuesday on sailing cruise. After fleeting
over the waters sometime under the
maneuvering Of the white wings they re>
turned to shore and Commodore Simonds
exemplitled his ability by starting the sail
boat out upon the lake with his own
hands. He got on the other side of the
lake when little sidewind and the
sails got tangled up together and
the boat turned over throwing Mr.. Sims
onds into the water. Morgan, who was
on shore, attempted to rescue MIR. Simonds
but his row.boat got caught in the wild
growth, and Mrs. Simonds succeeded in
launching a row-bost upon the water and
after vigorous rowing, rescued her hus-
band. The affair created considerable
excitement for q while.
