in 1885 was elected to the legislature in q
Democratic district.
u In 1888 he was city solicitor of Lowell,
and the same year was chosen d member
of the Fifty first Congress. In Congress
Mr. Greenhalge took high rank rs a de-
batter He was elected governor of Mass
achusetts to succeed Governor Russell in
1895, and reelected in 1894 and 1895. He
was about to make trip to the South
for his health when his illness assumed a
seri Gus character.
From the moment the Governor entered
upon his duties at the State House he ex-
hibited fearlessness in action which
surprised the memb bers of his party, even
as much as it did his political opponents.
What he thought was right he proceeded
to do, regardless of the consequences to
his party or himself.
He vetoed the bill to authorize the Bell
Telephone company to increase its capital
stock and refused to sign the veterans
preference bill. His last official act was
a message to the legislature, the 24th Of
February announcing the death of ex-
Gov. Robinson.
Mr.. Greenhalge was married in 1879 to
Isabel Nesmith, whose father. John
Nesmith, was lieutenar6 governor of
Massachusetts in 1862. He had three
children, Frederick Harriet and Richard
Mr.. Greenhalge was, member OF several
clubs of Lowell, president of the Lowell
Humane society for three years, and
trustee of the Rogers Hall school for
girls and the Lowell General hospital.

THE NATIONS LEGISLATORS.
What the Two Houses of Congress Did
Yesterday.

Washington, March 4.-The House in
committee of the whole resumed con-
sideration of the legislative, exc cutive
and judicial appropriation bills. The
committee refused to make any change in
the schedule save in two instances. The
salary of the attorney for the western dis
trict OF Pennsylvania was increased from
$500 to $4,000, and that of the attorney
for the western district Of Michigan from
$4,000 to $4,000. An amendment was
agreed to requiring the.attorney general in
appointing assistant district attorneys to
make selections from residents Of the dis
trict in which they are to serve. Tho
committee rose after completing sections
of the bill relating to district attorneys.
In the course of the afternoon mes
sage was received from the Senate an.
nouncing disagreement of that body to
the House substitute for the Senate Gu
ban resolutions and asking conference
thereon. No action was taken on it. At
five O'Clock the House adjourned.

Consideration of Sugar Bill Leads to Excit-
ing Scenes In German House.

Berlin. March 4.-The taking I'D of
the sugar bill in the Reichstag today
was the cause of scene of great excite
ment in the Chamber. When the measure
came up Herr Richter, Radical leader,
moved an adjournment on the ground of
no quorum.
4 Before he ceased speaking, members be-
gan to troop into the Chamber until
many more than the number requisite for
a quorum was in attendance. A call of
the Chamber was made, and while the
counting was in progress, Heir Richter
induced Socialist Firessinig and Volks.
party members, to leave the House.
whereupon the members Of the Right be-
came greatly enraged. When Riohter's
name was called he did not respond. and
the conclusion of the count disclosed
only 165 deputies, who answered to their
names, not number sufficient to
comprise quorum.
At this announcement the Rights he
came furious. Their angry shouts could
be heard above the dsrisive utteranoes of
the opposition. The government falling
to count quorum the consideration Of
the bill was delayed.

In THE SENATE.

t In the Senate the House regulating
proof of death in certain pension bill cases
was passed. The Dupont,contested election
case was taken up for consideration. AL
though the facts in the case are conceded
on both sides OF the chamber the legal
point is one on which the two political
parties take opposite views. In the Della
ware joint assembly May 9th, 1895, Mr..
Dupont received Is votes of total of sc
cast. As to one of the thirty votes it is
contender on the part of NJ. Dupont that
it was illegal and void, 1t having been
cast by MI. Watson, a Senator who had
on the death of the governor succeeded to
ttat office, who could not as claimed by
the Republican members of the commit
tee legally or fonstitutionalIy act as Sen
ator. In that case the total vote cast be-
ing fourteen, Mr. Dupont would have re-
ceived majority and be entitled to a
seat in the Senate. The contention on
the part of the Democratic mem bers is
that the exercise of the duties of the
governor by Mr.. Watson did not divest
him Of his rights as State Senator, and
that at all events that question was to
be determined in the Senate of Delaware
and not by the Senate of the United
States.
Mr.. Mitchell, Republican of Oregon,
chairman of the committee of privileges
and elections made the opening argu-
ment in favor of the rights of Mr.. Du-
pont. Mr. Mitchell recited the facts in
the case an argued that Mr. Watson could
not aot as State Senator while exercising
the office of governor, and main tain ed
that the United States Senate had the
power to inquire into the pending matter
for itself. He spoke three and one-half
hours and had not concluded his speech
when the matter was laid aside for the
day. A number of bills were passed, and
at 5 pm. the Senate adjourned. x =

FIRE FOLLOWS FLOOD.
Lewiston Visited By Another Grave
Disaster.
BEEF HOUSE AND GRIST MILL
BURNED LAST NIGHT.

The Loss Was $50 ,OOO-Favoring Wind
Prevented FrightfuI Holocaust-No
Assistance Could Be Obtained From
Auburn for Lack of Bridges-Portland
Needed.
Lewiston, March 4.-Hams's grist mill
and Fred Penley's Armour's dressed beef
and provision house burned tonight. The
lire Is supposed to have caught from an
electric light wire, blaze being dis
covered in both buildings about the same
time, near eight O'Clock.
A fierce wind was blowing and there
was danger of the fire igniting the
Lewiston, mill Jordan, Frost COM
pany's coal and lumber yard. E. W.
Gross's beef house and the large group of
adjacent buildings in the Grand Trunk
depot yard.
Auburn could lend no assistance be-
cause of lack Of bridge communica tion,
and for time things looked desperate.
GOOD luck favored the flremen, the wind
blowing away from the Jordan, Frost
lumber yard, ard by hard work the fire
was confined to the Ham grist mill and
the Penley beef house.
Hams house was burned, and e. W.
Gross's beef house which was next north
of the Ham mill was damaged. Penley's
beef house was one of the finest in Maine
and was built and opened two years ago.
1t was altogether separate from Penley's
large slaughter and packing house which
Is in Auburn
Hams mill was an extensive plant nd
was run under the firm name of j. B.
Ham & Co. Their loss is $50, 900, with
an insurance of $40. 600; Penley's loss is
$40, 600; insurance So. 900.
