Ohio Bribery Case Still Hangs-Fink's
Pursuit of Grosvenor.
Annapolis. Nd, Jan. 21.-The general
assembly of Maryland in joint session
yesterday took three ballots for I'm
tied States senator without result. The
effect Of the days work was to leave the
solution of the senatorial problem as
much in doubt and the end of the strug-
gle apparently as far off as it was be-
fore the balloting began. While it is
true that both the leading candidates
that both are far from the goal. and
that both have shown nearly. if not
quite. the full extent of their present
following. But one thing is clear, and
that is the fact that perfect sympathy
exists between the Democrats and the
boiling Republicans in the Baltimore
city delegation. This was clearly shown
when, after the second ballot, an at
tempt was made to adjourn the joint
convention until today. The Democrats
and the boilers voted so!idly against
the motion and defeated it. Another
fact is that the eleven" are seemingly
stronger than ever and are fully under
control of their leader.
Democrats Will Vote for Republican.
There is now no doubt whatever that
the Democratic contingent stands ready
to cast its ballot for a Republican. Who
that Republican will be is as yet I'M
settled, but the belief that it will be
William T. Malster, mayor of Baltl-
more, or Major Alexander Shaw is
growing, and the McComas' men no
longer attempt to disguise the fact that
they dread such an outcome. AS to
when the coalition will take place is I'M
certain. The Democrats have two points
to gain by protracting the struggle, for
the longer this fight is on the more it
disrupts the Republican party. and they
have not entirely abandoned the hope
Of protracting it through the session,
thereby making 1t possible that Cor
mans successor will have to be chosen
by the legislature which will meet in
January. 1900. There are rumors that
the Democrats have agreed to vote for
Master provided he will guarantee
the necessary fifteen Republican votes
to elect.

Politics IN THE BUCKEYE STATE.
Senate Bribery Investigation Takes Day
Of-After the GrOsvenOr Scalp.

1uSestlSdt10n lakes u Dcy
Of-After the GrosvenOr Scalp.
Columbus. o., Jan. q. - The sena-
torial bribery investigation was not be-
fore the senate yesterday as expected.
The crowds waited in vain during the
morning session for n report from the
senate committee. At it's sessions Tues
day and Wednesday nights the COM
mittee, appointed to investigate the
charges of Representative Otis, that
he had been offered S1.750 by H. H.
BOyce to vote for Hanna, had before it
number of witnesses, none of whom
would testify, claiming that a senate
committee could not investigate house
case. 1t was expected that it would re-
port these witnesses for contumacy, but
it postponed the report.
Senator Fink's bill to "gerrymander"
the congressional districts of the state
was introduced in the legislature be-
fore adjournment yesterday. The main
purpose of the bill, and Fink frankly
acknowledges it, is to legislate Repre-
sentative Grosvenor out of office and
put a Democrat in his place. Conse-
quently MIR. Grosvenor's district, the
eleventh, is most completely changed.
The bill proposes to make it Democratic
by taking Ross and Meigs counties
away and substituting Fairfield and
Pickaway. This would leave the dis
trict composed of Vinton. Hooking,
Athens, Perry, Fairfield and Pickaway.
Upon the vote of 1896 the Democrats
would have carried this by 1855, and
upon the vote of 1892 by 1886.
The senate investigating committee
met last night and adjourned until this
morning. No witnesses were called and
there was no discussion. the meeting
being purely formal. There are vari-
Gus rumors as to what course the COM
mittee will pursue. One was to the eff
feet that Jared P. Bliss would be called
for examination. Another that the COM
mittee would decide to report back to
the senate that it was unable to pro-
coed with the inquiry. and ask to be
relieved from further duties.

Deadlock in the Tennessee Caucus.

cratic legislative caucus held to select
the party candidate for the United
States senate met again at s o'clock
last night. but did not nominate. The
first ballot resulted: McMillin. 81: Tur-
ney. 30: Taylor. 10. Fourteen ballots were
taken during which McMillin lost and
gained two votes, Turney lost two and
gained two and Taylor's vote was un-
changed. The last ballot stood: McMil-
lin, 80: Turney, 80: Taylor. 10. An i'm
mense crowd was present and interest
in the caucus is unchanged. The eau.
Gus adjourned until tonight. The per.
sistence with which the supporters Of
each candidate stand by their choice
causes the growing belief that a pro-
lOugsd deadlock Is imminent

death Of /. c. CHASE.
Well Known Resident of the City
Dies this Morning at His Home
After a Long Illness.
Stricken Shortly After the Sudden
Death of His Son, and Illness
Results Fatally.
-
An Old Resident Of the City, Who
Leaves Many Friends to Mourn
His Decease.
Death of Judge Cha Sc.

Judge E. C. Chase died at his resi-
dence on LIST st Wednesday morning at
4o'clock after an illness which has lasted
since the death of his son Ralph, some
weeks ago. He was taken a day or so
after the funeral of his son with an at
tack of grippe, which was complicated
with heart trouble, and after lingering
for several weeks he died this morning.
His death was not unexpected, as he
has been failing since the beginning of
his illness, and shortly before the end
he called his wife, who was up stairs,
and seemed to appreciate his approach
ing end, for he stated to her that he felt
strangely. Hardly had he told her this
when he was taken with a violent spell
of coughing, in which he passed away.
The death4o of Judge Chase is sad, and
deeply regretted by many friends in the
city, of whom he had a large number.
The sad and sudden death of his only
son was a bitter blow to him, and it is
likely thatt the shock of that event con-
tributed to the illness which has re-
suited fatally. And in his death the
community has lost al upright and
honorable citizen. who will be missed
by a large circle of friends. A kind
hearted, genial gentleman, the deceased
made many friends, socially and in a
business and official capacity. These
will deeply regret his taking of. and
appreciate the keen affection of his
doubly bereaved wife and. daughter,
who have been sorely tried by affection,
and are left alone of the family to
mourn the double loss of father and
husband, son and brother.
Judge Chase was a native of Ohio,
and came to the city over fifteen years
ago. He engaged in farming upon his
first arrival in the city and for several
years operated an extensive farm.
Afterward he abandoned farming, and
became a resident of the city. He served
for several terms as judge of the county
court, as justice of the peace, and in
other positions, performing his official
duties we'll, and making many friends
in his official capacity. Since the COM
Pletion of his last term of Office he has
resided in the cottage purchased by him
a year or so ago on First street. with his
wife. The family was sadly bereaved
and shocked by the death of his only
son Ralph, and a loving and kind
hearted father had gone to join him
with the great majority.
Judge Chase was sixty four years OF
age, and leaves a wife and daughter, the
latter, Mrs. Pollock, a resident of Ohio,
who was called to the city at the
beginning of her fathers illness and is
still here. Mrs. Chase is Frustrated by
the death Of her husband, following 80

almost but one ticket in the field. Some
