DEFEAT FOR HANNA.

Opposition Successful I'm Organising
the Legislatures. 55
columbus, Ohio, Jan. 5.-The sena-
torial contest in the Ohio legislature
has become desperate. The combine
OF the anti-Hanna Republicans with
the Democrats won at the caucuses
and also in organizing both branches
OF the legislature in the interests Of
the combine opposition to the re-elec-
ton OF Senator Marcus A. Hanna.
There are two more dates for tests
OF strength. the joint senatorial eau
cuses next Wednesday night and the
joint balloting for senator one week
from Wednesday, Jan. u. With the
complication Of the legislative organi-
zation and its patronage disposed of,
the Hanna men. have begun a most
desperate fight on the senatorship.
The Hanna mem deny that they will
form coalition with Brice for a gold
Democrat for senator rather than be
beaten by a free silver Republican or
that they will do anything else but
hight it out if it takes all winter. While
they are not able to give a list long
enough to elect they claim that Hanna
is stronger than Boxwen and the other
regular Republican candidates in the
organization Of the legislature, and
that the opposition has not enough
votes to elect senator.
The development of last Saturday
ana yesterday have caused the Hanna
men to admit they were outdone in the
preliminary organization for this con-
test and that they undertstimated the
opposition, especially the extent of it
since the November election. The su-
perior organization of the opposition
was shown in the combine securing
nearly all the doubtful votes. The op-
position has had an army of workers
here for a week with detachments that
kept close to each one of the doubtful
Republicans.
The feeling of the Republican men,
bers who voted for their caucus nomi-
nees is openly expressed against Gov.
Bushnell more than against Mr.. Kurtz
or other Republicans who combined
with the Democrats.
The State jour- al, the Republican
organ of Central Ohio, prints large
picture Of the governor with heavy
black borders. Some Republican clubs
have cancelled their engagements OF
quarters here for the Inauguration ex-
erclses next Monday, and many pro-
NoIo e1c UeluS received at the state
house.
All the changes that are being sought
are anticipated from representatives,
1t is conceded that Senator Burke. one
OF the Republican senators. from Cleve-
land who has not yet appeared, will be
here to vote against Hanna. His at
torney presented his certificate of cleo
ton to Lieut.. Gov. Jones just before
the senate convened. The senate will
cast II votes for Hanna and 10 against
him.. If Hanna is no stronger in the
mousse than the Boxwell ticket was
When Boxwell received SO votes and
Mason st for speaker, then Senator
Hanna will have only 20 votes on Joint
ballot and 70 are necessary to elect.
Notwithstanding the results on the
organizations of both houses both sides
seem equally confident in claiming the
senatorship on joint ballot.

The career of the late Rev. DR..
Houghton of New York abounded in
examples of the truest sort of Chris
tian lowe and charity. He was known
the world over as the rector of "The
Little Church Around the Corner" wet
his becoming so known was merely
the result of one incident of his kindly
ministration to all who came to him.
A good story is told as characteristic
of the man. One of the foremost men
in his church was arrested for forgery.
DR.. Houghton fastened to his side and
received confession of guilt. He adj
vised him to plead guilty, and within
three days the man was in Sing Sing
prison. Daring these days the rector
was with him almost constantly. When
the man was released DR.. Houghton
was the first to show his belief in the
genuineness of his repentance, and
through the good rector'g steadfast
friendship the former convict was en-
abled to rehabilitate himself with his
church and in the esteem and conf
dence of the community.

TERRIBLE DISASTER.

Twenty-FrOur Persons Killed by the
CGllapseS of q Floor.
London, Jan. 5-Twenty -four persons
are known to be dead and many
injured by the collapse Of a floor in

municipal campaign and the hall was
crowded to hear the addresses of the
successful candidates. How many
were injured will never be known, as
those who suffered but slightly at once.
made for their homes or were cared
for by friends. Those who were more
seriously injured were carried to neigh
boring drug stores, whence they were
taken to the hospital or to their homes
after their I'M uries had been attended
to. r
At the close of the polls a crowd
gathered in the city hall, where it has
been the custom for years past for the
successful candidates to address the
electors. The building was crowded to
the doors, probably 1000 people being
damned in it's narrow space. There
was a 1ull in the proceedings, when the
audience called for several of the new
~ elected aldermen at once, and there
was some delay in securing a speaker
to address them. AID Carrothers
Joined the mayor in an effort to secure
quiet. In response to numerous calls
r. M. Toothe was pushed forward to
the platform on which the speakers
stood. AS he reached it there was an
ominous cracking and the raised plat
form on which the mayor and newly
elected aldermen were seated, seemed
to pitch forward to the floor. There
was sagging Of timbers and the next
moment $50 people were hurled twenty
feet to the floor below. A beam run
ming twenty feet along the center Of
the hall had given way and the crowd
Ell mass standing above that section Of
the floor was thrown in a heap to the
bottom. A large safe stood in one cor
ner of the hall, and, with huge steam
coil, weighing half ton, came crash
ing down on the heads Of the victims.
Following the crash there was wild
rush for the doors. At the south door,
where the majority of the crowd had
entered, there was a terrible panic
Those in front were thrown down by
the on-coming rush, shrieking and
lighting for the door and safety. Only
one-half of the rear door, space of
probably three feet, was open, and in
the mad rush no one thought to open
the door in it's entirety, and 500 peo-
pie struggled through the narrow
space, the strong bearing down the
weaker. Within a moment after the
floor had fallen in there We're not more
than three persons in the hall on that
portion Of the floor which had fallen.

Lovers Realize Their Wish to Die
Together.
Fort Wayne, Ind, Jan. Sat Mon
roeville, the dead bodies of Miss Viola
Marquand, aged twenty-three, daugh-
ter OF wealthy farmer and Michael
Miller, aged twenty-six, a saloonkeep-
err, were found lying in a room in the
rear of Miller's saloon. Miller lay in
the bed at the side of the room. Blood
from a bullet wound in his right
temple covered the bed clothing. Viola
lay in heap in the middle Of the floor,
shot to death in the same place. A re-
volver with two chambers empty lay
near her right hand Miller returned
from Fort Wayne last night. Both
bodies were in full street dress. Two
letters, one purporting to be from
Viola, the other from young Miller,
were found. In each it was the dec
laration that they wanted to die to-
gether and be buried together. The
coroner reports that it would have
been impossible for Miller to have
moved after receiving the fatal shot.
The letters tend to prove a double sui
eide, but the revolver by the girls hand
cannot be accounted for except by the
theory that she died after her lover.

silly enough to take the trip-just to

in nocturnal WRITINGS through space;
during the other half they may catch
glimpses of the lands and waters over
which they pass. Round the world,
