twice as long. Make a thick paste or
dough with plaster of Paris and water, and
with it form upon the stick an elliptical lump
four inches long and two inches in diameter
at the middle. Set the stick away for
day or two, placing it so that the ellipse
cannot be impaired by contact with any
other object When the plaster is dry and
hard, wind the thick wire about it to form
spiral like the picture. When this has
been done, cut off the balance of the wire,
break the plaster from the stick, remove the
latter from the center of the coil, and the
result will be an elliptical spiral. Plug the
lower end Of the candle socket with a piece
of wood, driving small lacks through the
tin and into the wood to hold the latter in
place. then push the socket through the
spiral. Cut the two strips of sheet iron half

.. A REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
They Seem to Be Badly Split Up on tho
 Tariff Question.


 Washington, Jan. 6.-The republicans of the senate will hold a caucus tomor- row at 1030 o'clock to consider the tariff bill now pending before the senate finance committee The republican mem- bers of that committee have been unable to agree and no headway was made to- day in the full committee. Immediately after the vote was taken on the free coinage substitute the democratic mem bers left the committee room and the republicans remained in conference for upwards of two hours. Several tentative propositions were submitted looking to notifications of the house bill Those consist of raise of the house increase of 15 per cent on all schedules of the Wilson act to 20 per cent in the sched- ules covering agricultural products, crockery, tobacco and spirituous 1iuuors Mir. Jones of Nevada insists that the duty on raw sugar, which was not touched by the house, shall also be increased to 15 per cent. In this matter Mir Jones Is in- dorsed by the senators from Nebraska and the senators from California. As the vote of MT. Jones, who is now ranked as popullst, is necessary to enable the republicans to report their bill from the eonD9ittee it is thought that if he per- ' schedule he will compel the change to be made.
 The republicans being unable to agree among themselves and not knowing what policy would be pursued by their asso- ciates it was determined to temporarily lay the bill aside and call a caucus. At

CASUAL TIES.
A Number of People Meet Their Death by Burning, Freezing and Being
 Blown to Pieces.

Petersburg, Va, Jan. 6.-The Peters burg club house, a magnificent four story brick building on Sycamore street, one of the most fashionable thorough fares of the city, was the scene this morning about 930 o'clock of a terrific explosion, which occurred in a room on the second floor of the building. The ex- piosion was caused by a defective gas pipe. When William Rives and Arthur Porter, two colored porters of the club, went up into the room to clean up they discovered the room full of gas. Porter struck a match to look for the leak, when the explosion occurred. The ceiling of the room was shattered and the flooring above was torn up. Almost every win dow glass of the building was knocked to pieces. Rives and Porter were badly burned. The explosion was so loud that it was heard a considerable distance.

 There is little doubt that such is the intention of the new purchasers; and in- deed, it has been whispered for some time that certain negotiations have been in progress by which this line could be brought into Atlanta from Marietta.
 Judge Newman signed the decree, to which all parties assented, and the long pending settlement of the affairs of the Marietta and North Georgia has been brought about

SUGAR TRUST BRIBERY CASES.
The Defense Is Making a Stubborn Fieht
 Over Every Point

Washington, Jan. 6.-At the first of the sugar trust senatorial bribery cases. which was called this morning, being that Of Elverton R. Chapman of New
 York on an indictment for declining to answer the Investigating committees questions, it was evident that the legal battle, for which an eminent array of counsel had been retained, was to be fought inch by inch with all the vigor at
 their command, and that not an iota of evidence would be permitted to escape
 the severest scrutiny. Ex-Senator Ed
 munds, Judge Dittenhoeffer and Messrs. Shellabarger and Wilson for the defend- ant demonstrated this fact at every turn and the governments prosecuting off, cers, however strong their evidence, will be only able to get it before the jury, which was empaneled on Saturday, by the exercise of considerable legal inge-
 nuity.
 The district opened the case this morn
 ing by reviewing the theory only to show that the questions had been asked before
 the senate Investigating committee and the witness, now the defendant had de- clined to answer.
 Judge Shellaberger at this point inter- jected in an undertone, How about the
 senators? Could not they be required to answer?" The district attorney offered
 In evidence certified copies of the new
 treasury law and the certificates that the sugar trust was incorporated Judge
 Dittenhoeffer objected to it's admission
 because the indictment gave the capital
 stock at $75,00O,000. while the certificates
 showed $50,000.000 He contended that the defense came prepared to meet the indictment and not things showed out
 side of it. An exception was noted when
 the objection was overruled. Judge Dit tenhoeffer objected to admitting a cer- tificate showing the increase of stock,
 which he declared irrelevant. During
 the formality of identifying the Wilson tariff bill another contention arose over
 the introduction of certificate with the senate journal. MT. Edmunds declared under that interpretation the clerk of the house was a part of the senate journal, for the certificates showed that he ap- peared to present the bill The district attorney said there was no other practi- cable way to present the evidence But it is not a matter of practicability," re- joined Judge Wilson, nor Is it a matter of convenience to the government When you indiet al man you are obliged to prove guilt, and we submit that the certificate Is not evidence"

Political Excitement in Canada.

Ottawa, Ont, Jan. 6.--The excitement in political circles here is intense So far the general opinion is that Premier Mac kenzie Bowell will endeavor to recon struct his cabinet, and 1t is thought by some prominent politicians that he will succeed in doing this, but others say that he will not be q ble to do so. At any rate, the conservative caucus, which has been called for tomorrow, will decide the ques- ton. Meantime there is nothing new in connection with the resignation of the six ministers. That the bolters will be able to form government is thought to be out of the question. A few of the conservatives are trying to patch up the present cabinet, but it is believed to be beyond patching up.
