Twenty-Five Killed in the Wrecked
 City Hall of London, Ont

London Ont, Jan. A. The union jack today floats at half mast over the city hall, but it is not needed to re- mind the citizens of the horror of last night. The city hall has the appear ance of wreck and the streets in front of it are crowded with curious and sorrowing citizens. line list of dead numbers twenty-five, but it is much to be feared that it is not yet complete. Many of the injured are net expected to recover, and others will be confined to their beds for days, weeks and some for months. The list of injured is not and never can be made complete in so far as the minor sufferers are concerned, as many are able to be about, though suffering bruises, aches and pains as the result of their terrible fall
 City Engineer Graydon states that the cause of the accident was the breaking of heavy beam which ran beneath the floor almost at the center of the space which gave way. The beam broke in the center, throwing a 1 the people standing within the large space into one mass. The engineer did not consider the hall dangerous but the tremendous weight simply caused the beam to snap

REASsEMBLING OF CONGRESS.
Mason's Scheme for a Cloture in the
 Senate

Washington, Jan. 4.-Congress re- convenes tomorrow and the capital is filling up with senators, representa- tives, persons interested in proposed legislation and candidates for public office. Now that most of the foreign appointments within the gift of the president have been disposed of the members of congress will turn their attention to home appointments, in- cluding those of collectors, marshals, postmasters and other sources of sup ply for loaves and fishes. Quite a number of these positions have already been filled, but the majority are yet to be acted upon.
 Senator Mason will call up the rese- lution for limited debate in the senate when that body reassembles, and a lively contest is foreshadowed. Un- der the rules it will go to the commit tee on judiciary and if that body re- fuses to report it, he proposed to move in open senate that the committee be dismissed and the resolution discussed with open doors.

HIS SISTERS MURDERER.
Frank Wi1tsie Will Be Tried Soon al
 Charles City.

Charles City, Ia., Jan. At the next term of court the trial of Frank Wiltsie for killing his sis ter, Mrs. Jerome Dow, will be called. Wiltsie is out on bail, as the killing was supposed to be accidental, the in- tention of injury being against the husband of the deceased
 For some years Wiltsie had been in the west. He prospered in a small way, and, coming here, placed stock on a small farm and rented it to Dow. Upon returning home last spring a disagreement arose as to the disposal of money from stock sold. Dow and his wife had been to the city trading On the way home they were met by Wiltsie. During a heated argument, the latter picked up a large stone from the road and threw it at his brother-in-1aw. The missile struck h.s sister on the head and she, died the next day. Wiltsie was taken in GUS tody and has since been liberated on bail. He begged piteously to see his sister before she d.ed, and his wish was granted.

 Today another big council and a feast was held, at both of which over 200 Indians were present. The agree ment lay before the commissioners at the council and was signed by 100 h. dians, twenty-nine of them being White Rivers. A majority of the tribe Is 1.S. so it can be seen that the issue has been carried This is a great piece of work, and Messrs Barge, McNeely and Hoyt are to be congratulated on their effective and prompt action In the face of the opposition of the White Rivers, accentuated by the recent Col orado affair, they have carried the matter to successful issue
 The next work on the tapis is the purchase of the Strawberry valley This will, however, probably be post poned until the skies have cleared here It is not thought to be advisable to attempt any additional discussion un- til the feeling about the Colorado fracas and change of agents has sub sided.

When the old man died few days ago 1t was claimed he had starved to death, and the alleged cruel treatment by the sons was generally denounced.
 After the father was dead the sons refused to pay the expenses of his burial or even to see the body. This so enraged the neighbori1g farmers that last night a mob of about thirty Balm brothers and called for Ale, the oldest Abe stepped to the door, and seeing the-crowd outside, retrea ei in.o the house before the mob could lay hands on him. He called to his broth CTS, and all three opened fire on the visitors rom the door or the house. inside of which were Abe's wife children.

covered by chance that an ex-federal soldier here in Wheeling had the medal, having traded a canteen of whisky for it a few days after it was taken from the Caperton mansion. Col. White asked if he would like to restore it to it's rightful owner, and learning that the soldier did not want to keep it if he could find an owner, the colonel wrote to an acquaintance of his named Caperton in Monroe county, asking if such a medal had ever belonged to any of his family. Col. Whites correspondent knew the history of the medal, and Col. White had the pleasure of restoring the medal to Mrs. Bingham, who Is now the wife of one of the judges of the supreme court of the District of Columbia. The medal was delivered at the Caper.o mansion at Unioc, where Mrs Bing- ham makes her home.

 The trial of the case of Major T. C.. Jordan, immigration commissioner for this county, against the board of su- pervisors to recover $1 200 for official services, was begun in district court before Judge Sloan yesterday morning Major Jordan was appointed immi- grafton commissioner little more than two years ago. The salary was $50 month. When his claim for the first months service was pre:ented the board denied it, as it had done in the case of the first commissoner Florence J. O'Brien. Major Jordan brought suit in justices court against the board and was given judg ment On an appeal to the district court judgment was rendered against the plaintiff His monthly claims after that were presented to the board but no action was taken on them. Last October they were all withdrawn and put into one claim covering the whole period of the commissioners service. Payment was refused and the present suit was begun.
 The plaintiff was represented in court by Attorney General Frazier and Messrs. Hamilton & Armstrong. Baker & Alexander were retained by the board of supervisors, and Millay & Bennett were lately taken into the case on the part of the defense.
 There are three points in the lit!- gation. Payment is resisted by the board on the ground that the statute of limitations has run it's course against the claim; that the legislation creating an immigration commissioner whose salary is to be paid by the coun- ty was forbidden by the ever frowning

Columbus, O., Jan. 1.-The political tonight in closely poised balanc4 While there are now reported to be only nine dissenters among the eighty republican members, one in the sen- ate and eight in the house, yet the really a6pubtful list is limited to two or threa Some of the dissenting re- publicans are not likely to be ever re- conciled to Senator Hanna. They have burned the bridges behind them and openly admit it. Representatives Griff1ths of Union and Joy of Guern=ey, who voted with the combine on the organization of the house, stated today that they would vote for Senator Hanna.
 This gives Hanna tifty-four in the house and seventeen in the senate, a total of 71, or two short of the neces- sary majority. Droste of Hamilton, who voted for Boxwell for speaker, annnu4ced at the time that he would support Jeptha Herrard, a silver re- publican, for senator, so that the net gain for Hanna to date over the vote on organization is only one. The Hanna men say they expect to get the votes of Scott of Fulton, and Rutan of Carroll, who were Instructed for Hanna, and voted for the "combine" on organization.

Some of the democratic members insist that the breach is so vide and so deep now between the republicans that John R. Mclean or some other free silver democrat could be elected over Hanna. The senate and house will separa ely ballot next Tuesday for senator.
 Late tonight the Hanna managers lost the two doubtful members that they had gained today, so that there is now no material change from the situation of yesterday when the house stood 66 to 53 against Hanna This would give Hanna only seventy votes on joint ballot, or three less than enough to elect.
