GEORGE WISE TAUNTS REED.
Tom Stole Democratic Thunder.

The Representative from the Richmond
District Relates Little History Which is
Very Interesting at This Time of Quorum
Counting.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 18.-In
the house to- day Mr.. Wise, democrat,
of Virginia, read from the Record to
show the position taken by exSpeaker
Reed when the amendment offered by
J. Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, to
the rules providing for the counting of
a quorum, was under discussion in the
49th congress. He showed that Mr..
Reed opposed the amendment, and
added. with much spirit. that this
adulation of Thos. B. Reed by the re-
publican party was a miserable pre-
tence." Mr.. Wise went on to say that
Mr.. Reed was not the originator of
this proposition to count quorum. 1t
was at first proposed by a democrat
from Virginia.
Mr.. Grosvenor, republican, of Ohio,
who had several times attempted with
out success to interrupt Mr.. Wise, ask
ed: "Was that democratic congress?"
Mr.. Wise replied that it was; and
added that it was his purpose to strip
Thomas B. Reed of the false colors un-
der which he had sailed. He added
that Mr.. Springer, of Illinois, had vot-
ed and spoken for the rule.
THAT" said Mr.. Reed, sotto voce,
accounts for its defeat" "Garfield,' -
continued Mr.. Wise, 'voted against it
and denounced it as unconstitutional;
so that this pretense that the house is
indebted to the republican party for
this rule is bald lie. On that occasion
no rIIl a
as a violation OF the constitution and
the republican leaders joined him in
the denunciation." Mr.. Wise stated
that he refused to vote yesterday for
the rule because he had had no oppor-
tunity to examine it, and because there
was no chance to debate it. But lie
believed that if the power rested with
the house to bring man from Cali
fornia to his seat, the house had a right
to demand his presence for the trans
action of business. While Mr.. Wise
was speaking Hon. J. Randolph Tucker
entered the house and was warmly
greeted by his old friends on tie floor.

DIR. l. HI. Trimble met with an acct
dent last Friday evening which might
have been very serious. On his way
home he stopped at Mr.. Swadley's near
Hightown, when his horse became
frightened and started to run. The
DR.. was master until the bride rein
broke, and in reaching for the broken
rein, while the horse was running at
full speed, the saddle turned and he
was thrown headlong into a pile of
rocks at the side of the road. Mr.. Hull
Kramer, who was near by. carried the
DIR. to a house where he remained I'M
conscious for over an hour. He was
then brought home in buggy. After
a couple of days he was able to be out,
but he still feels the effects of the shak-
ing up and is fearful that it may prove
serious yet.-Hdghland Recorder, April
Goth.

THE ALABAMA GOvERNoRSHIP.-
Hon. Joseph G. Rich, mayor of Mobile
has withdrawn as a candidate for the
democratic nomination for Governor
of Alabama. Mr.. Rich has become
satisfied that his candidacy has nc
promise of success and will only en-
barrass his friends, and so he steps
down and out. This leaves but two
candidates in the field, Congressman
Oates and Captain Johnston, of Birm
ingham, between whom the contest
promises to be exceedingly warm.

DIspensary Liquor-Law UneOnstitu-
tiOnal.

Last week, the Supreme Court of
South Carolina, in the trial of test
cases, decided the Dispensary liquor
law of that State to be unconstitu-
tional. The Court consisted of Chief
Justice Henry McIver, Justice Samuel
McGowan, and Justice V. J. Pope-the
former two deciding the law unconsti-
tutional, and the latter dissenting
The case will probably go to the U. s.
Supreme Court for final decision. 1t
is unfortunate that the decision was
not rendered before the tragic affair at
Darlington.
The court holds that in no view of
the case can the act be regarded as a
police regulation of the business of
selling intoxicating liquors, and that
if it could be SO regarded such police
power does not include the power on
the part of the State to engage in car
rying on such business. AS to the
revenue feature, it holds that the legis-
lative department under the general
power of taxation cannot impose any
tax except for some public purpose,
and that any act of the Legislature
which is designed to or has the effect
of embarking the State in any trade
which involves the purchase and sale
of any article of commerce for profit is
beyond its constitutional power.
SALE OF THE WAYNESBORO' SENTI-
NEL.-The Waynesboro' Sentinel of
last Friday makes the announcement
that Messrs. J. T. Cooke & Bro, have
sold that paper to Mr.. w. Lee Hanger,
possession to be given on the list of
May. Under the management of the
Cooke Bros. the Sentinel has been a
good paper, and such it will continue
to be, we doubt not, under the conduct
of Mr.. Hanger, who possesses the
requisite qualifications to publish a
good paper.
The GREAT STRIKE.-The strike of
lbituminous coal miners. ordered by the
United Mine Workers of America, went
into effect on Saturday. The order
was generally obeyed in the Pennsyl-
vania soft coal region, in Ohio and in
Illinois. The miners of Indiana and
Kentucky gave partial compliance
A few of the West Virginia miners
struck. The Maryland miners con-
tinued at work, and the prevailing
sentiment is against striking. NJ. John
Mcbride, president of the United Mine
Workers, claimed that $4,000 men
struck.

GLASS THAT REsISTs FIRE.
Experiments With Various Materials
Which Resulted Surprisingly.

with various Materials
Which Resulted Surprisingly.
From the Scientific American.
An interesting test of the fire-resisting
materials and construction was recently
carried out in Berlin. under the auspices of
the fire brigade and the insurance COM
panies of the city. The idea of the tests
was mooted as far back 1889, but there
was considerable difficulty in arranging
for series Of fires" which were in
tended to be as natural as possible. and
yet should not be dangerous. Finally the
municipality gave the experimenters the
use of an old warehouse for their pur-
pose. and this building having been fitted
up to represent various types of flre-re-
sisting structures. was duly set on fire.
Care was taken to subject the exhibits to
the temperatures, Irregularities of heating.
sudden shocks by falling weights or jets of
water, &c, which generally occur at con-
nagrations and 1t was found possible to
take fairly exact observations. Among the
most satisfactory results obtained were
with the fre-resisting glass made by
Messrs. Siemens of Dresden. The assessors
declare 1t to be most suitable for any sky
light or window necessary in a division
between separate. risks, as it will resist a
temperature of 1900 degrees c. for half an
hour and more, bearing all manner of
shocks and strains without suffering an
probable damage.
Care is required in fixing the glass, how
ever. as the iron frames generally used
for the purpose buckle under heat and
show, between the glass and the iron, OPEN
ings through which flame can pass. Some
of the so-called fire-proof floors made of
iron Orders and concrete came to speedy
grief in these tests. while iron and brick
floors stood very well, as did the ..Monier''
construction. AS regards fire-proof doors
nothing stood better than double oak COW
cred with sheet iron. between which and
the wood there should be a layer of ashes
tos cloth. Seeing how many warehouse
fires are propagated through windows, the
assessors attach great Importance to their
demonstration of the capability of Siemens
glass for withstanding flame.

MONEY FOR THE POOR.
Over $1,000 Collected by the Canvass
ing Committee.

The results of the house to house canvass
which has been going on during the pas,
week, unde- the auspices of the citizens
committee, with a view of affording an op-
portunity for every citizen to contribute
either money or food or clothing for the re-
lief of the destitute in the city are being
tabulated at the headquarters of the COM
mittee which Is at the office of the chair
man, Col George Truesdeil. The canvass
was supposed to begin Monday last
but the work was not fairly begun until
Tuesday.
Since that time it has been prosecuted
with commendable promptness and dill
gence by the corps .of voluntary canvass
ers, who cheerfully undertook this toilsome
ard, IN many respects, disagreeable task.
The public spirit manifested by people Of
all classes who responded to the call of the
committee and freely gave their time and
their labor TO this work of love is an i'm
preSSive instance of the unSelfiShneSs which
prevails in the world.
The canvassers under the instructions
issued by the committee reported each day
to the chairman of the thirty-three districts
into which the city was divided for the pur-
pose of this canvass, and in turn the chair
man reported to Col Truesdell the amount
of money received in their districts The
returns have not al been made up as yet,
but the amounts received on the first three
days are given below:
Tuesday ....................... s4O6 II
Wednesday Observation-Disclosures. $50 ~
Thursday NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. LOIS IL
The total received by Col. Truesdell up to
Saturday night was S5,T :, md this amount
he has turned over to t. treasurer of the
committee, Mr.. John E. Herrell To some
extent these amounts represent only the
cash which was given to the canvassers
and there are large number of the blanks
which were left at the homes of the people
visited. which have not yet been returned
to the committee.
The returns made are not up to the ex-
pectations of some of the members of the
committee, who had hoped that every house
in the District would be represented by a
contribution, even if it were q very small
one 1t is thought that the department
employees will this week contribute to he
fund, pay day comes during .Sa -.,eek,
and all will have ready money. -

Two Socialist Leaders.

Our Vienna correspondent reports that
two female socialist orators were sentenced
yesterday in Nienna-Charlotte Glass to
four months Imprisonment, and Amelia

first made offensive remarks about the
archdukes. the second spoke slightingly Of
the legislative assembly. Our correspondent
adds: Fraulein Glass spoke some time ago
with great ability. from her point of view,
at a woman's meeting in the open air NOT
far from Schonbrunn. She is comely

confession. and looked very enthusiastic
