OHIO SENAToRSHIP.
TT Is THE ABSORBING QUESTION
NOW AT COLUMBUS.
FIRST TEST. OF STRENGTH.
Tbf. 60 Take Place on the Organise
ton of the Legis1nture-Propos
Combination Between Anti-Hanna
Republicans and Democrats.

COLUMBUS, o., December 29.-There
was an influx of legislators tonight.
and tho scenes about the hotel lobbies
indicated that the senatorial election Is
the absorbing question. although the
scramble for place in the organization Oh
the House and Senate is live!ier than for
several sessions.
That the anu-Hanna Republicans, Ied
by Charles Kurtz, Esq, Will test the
strength of their forces I'm the organlza-
ton of the Legislature was indicated by
the unofficial announcement that Repre-
sentative Mason, Of Cleveland, would OPP
pose Representative Boxwell, of Warren
county, for Speaker. Mr.. Mason, accom-
panied by Representative Brambley, OF
Cleveland, both of whom are known 10
be unfriendly TO Senator Hanna, opened
headquarters at the Great Southern Hotel
to-day. and IL was generally understood
that the anti-Hanna men would conduct
their campaign from that place. On the
question of his candidacy for the speak
ership, Representative Mason is non-com-
initial. 1t is significant that the Demo
cratic State headquarters are located IN
the same hotel. Allen o. Myers is the
apparent leader of the Democrats in the
proposed fusion with the anti-Hanna Re
publicans. Mr.. Myers has given out th>t
the Democratic members of the House
will support Representative Mason for
Speaker. The anti-Hanna Republicans.
IL is generally understood, are to turn all
the other officers of the House over TO
the Democrats in consideration OF the
election of the men chosen by Mr.. Kurtz
for Speaker and Clerk.
A conference of Democratic members
of the Legislature and party leaders Is 10
be held here Friday, to discuss the pro-
posed fusion with the anti-Hanna Re-
publicans.
Within the last few days strong oppo-
sition has arisen from certain Demo-
Gratis TO the proposed fusion, and 1t is
now certain that all the Democratic mem
bers cannot be whipped into line. Seve-
raj Democratic members who arrived III
the city tonight stated emphatically that
they would not vote for any one except
Democrat for United States Senator.
These members will serve their first
term. and say that if they voted for any
Republican TO defeat Senator Hanna,
they would not be returned.
There was q conference of Republican
leaders at Major Dicks rooms in the Neil
Hotel this evening but it was stated that
they were merely talking over the situa-
ton. Major Dick stated that Senator
Hanna's reelection was assured. 1t was
significant that Representative Snyder, OF
Green county. who was formerly counted
as an anti-Hanna man, was conspicuous
at Major Dicks headquarters. and work.
ing in Senator Hannas interest. Several
Republican members. upon their arrival
to-day. were claimed by Mr.. Kurtz's lieu
tenants as opposed to Senator Hanna, but
on being pressed, admitted that they in
tended to vote for him. While Mr.. Kurtz
denies himself to all public interviews,
he still asserts to his confidential friends
that Senator Hanna will be defeated.

WARRANT OUT FOR HIM.
weu-Knovn WaII-Street Man
Charged With Grand Larceny.

Charged With Grand Larceny.
NEW YORK, December "a warrant
Is out for the arrest of Henry oliver
Goldsmith, one of the best-known men
of Wall street. The specific charge
against him is grand larceny in the first
degree, for appropriating a check for
81 900, the property of Oscar e. A. Wies-
sner. of Brooklyn.
The officials of the District-Attorney'
office allege that Goldsmith has managed
to get away with something like half
million dollars by operations similar to
those which brought the q. S. Dean Com
pany before the public
Goldsmith was indicted by the grand
jury on Tuesday last. Detectives have
forwarded clues all over New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Boston, and other places,
but so far Goldsmith has eluded them.
Goldsmith and a man named Webster
operated under the frm-name of Hoyt
& Co. George Hazel Weide and William
A. Mitchell, who were their brokers,
were arrested three weeks ago, for their
part in the operations, but the charges
against them have not been tried. They
have been dropped from membership in
the Stock Exchange. 1t is said that 1t
was upon their evidence that the grand
Jury found the indictment against Gold
smith, The latter is about IS years old,
and, in the opinion of the District-At-
torneys office, he is one of the shrewdest
men that ever engaged in Wall-street
speculation after the manner of Dean &
Co. They say his victims are numbered
by the thousands.

Death OF DIR. George w. pollard

christian Observer
On Friday night last the venerable Dr.
George William Pollard, father-in-law OF
the senior editor Of this paper, passed
away from earth to Heaven. He had
been a ruling elder In the Samuel Davies
church. In Hanover county, Va, for
sixty-two years. and largely by his eff
fort, at the close of the war. when the
whole country had been devastated by
armies, this church was resuscitated. AS
long as his strength lasted he supported
its services by his presence, even In great
feebleness. Since he passed his four
score years, and had not been able 10
leave his home, he has abated none OF
his interest in its welfare He was also
the oldest living alumnus of Hampden-
Sidney College. He died i'll the s4th year
OF his age. The spirit of his life cannot
be better exhibited than by quoting the
lines which he wrote thirty years ago to
make complete the beautiful hymn by
Horatius Bonar:
/ heard the voice Of Jesus say,
My Fathers house above
Has many mansions; I've a place
Prepared for you in love.
/ trust I'm Jesus-in that house,
According to his word,
Redeemed by grace my soul shall live,
Forever with the Lord.

spent the night at his stable, was erro-
neous. He said further, that Mr..

men who spent the night in the stable
said no one else came there during the
night. Mr.. Garner had one of the stable
