MARYLAND SENATORIAL VOTE
LEGISLATURE BEGINS BALLOTISG
FOR VARIOUS CANDIDATES.
GORMAN MAY HAVE A CHANCE.
Present Incumbent Was Leading on First
Round, But Republicans Are Badly
Split as to Choice.

The first ballot in the Maryland leg
islature for successor TO Arthur p.
German in the United States senate
was taken at Annapolis Tuesday, each
branch balloting separately with the
following result:
McComas, "a; Shew, IL; Shyrock,
3; Findlay, 2; Parran, 6: Mulliken, /;
Barber, 6; Urno, l (; German, 43; Lown-
des, Ii Page, l, Total, 100. Neces-
sary TO n choice, 55.
The candidates are Judge Louis f.
McComas, Of Washington county; Ma
jor Alexander Shaw, General Thomas
j. Shyrock, ex-Congressman V. Find.
lay, oil Of Baltimore city; Thomas
Parran, Colonel j. G. Mulliken, Con-
gresham Isaac A. Barber and Milton
g. Turner.
But one ballot was taken and this
leaves the situation as much involved
in uncertainty as il was before the
voting began. The preliminary Skin
mishing has been attended with great
bitterness and dissension in the ranks
OF the republicans, who have q con-
siderable majority in both houses.
These dissensions have rendered IL
impossible to bring about republic
can caucus and there seems to be lit
tie probability that this method Of set
Ting the dispute will be resorted to
in the near future.
The first break in the republican
ranks came two weeks ago, when
eleven members Of the house delegates
from Baltimore city refused TO caucus
on the speakership and by effecting a
coalition with the democrats elected
one of their own number to that Office.
Numerous attempts have since been
made to get the seceders back in line,
but they remain in their position.
without at least two of their number
The republicans are powerless to elect
any one and with the aid of the demo-
cratic vote the faithful eleven" as
they have been nicknamed, may at any
time elect q man Of their own choos-
ing, or cause a deadlock until the end
of the session. With this possibility
in view the democrats are using every
possible means to foment the discord.
Such n situation naturally gives rise
to all manner of conjecture and specu-
lation and there are many who believe
that it may yet be possible for Senator
German to succeed himself, IL he can
carry the next Legislature election in
November, 1899. This possibility is,
however, admitted by the democratic
leaders to be very remote one.

INACCURATE WAR HISTORY
Causes Atlanta Confederate Veterans TO
Register nm Emphatic Kick.


| Register an Emphatic Kick.
Camp 159 Of the Confederate veter-
ans association Of Fulton county, Ga. I,
at recent meeting. denounced in a
decided manner a. history Of tho civil
war written by President Benjamin
Andrews, OF Brown university, r. /.
Colonel Zip" Harrison, chief clork
IN the comptroller generals Office,
arose with book in hand. He re-
quested the attention Of the camp aud
said that the book he was holding con-
tanned history Of the civil wa and
was written by Benjamin Andrews, Of
Brown university. He said that some
time ago book agent came to him
aud said that he had history of the
war for sale that would please the
southern people.
Many histories Of the war had been
written, but they were nearly all col
ored with northern sentiments and
prejudices and did not give fair 40
count Of the war Inasmuch IA the
yalor and achievements Of tho south
ern forces had never been given in
their true light he wanted TO put on
the market book that would do Just
ice to the confederate soldiers.
After such a statement OF the book
agent Mr.. Harrison purchased vol
ume. He naturally began to read the
book with great interest. He got to
the famous battle OF Vicksburg, and
among other things he read that Grant
had marched 100 miles in an incredi.
bly, short time, whipped the confeder-
ates in four successive engagements
and swept the field, making u record
brilliant as Napolean's.
When Mr.. Harrison had read this
description Of the fight he saw at once
that the agent had misrepresentcd tho
nature Of the book and that another
piece Of historical literature had been
added to the already large list that is
giving an erroneous conception Of the
war to the younger generation in the
south.
Mr.. Harrison read the account Of
the battle Of Vicksburg to the camp,
and many Of the veterans who had
been there during the war at once saw
that the account was grossly inaccu-
rate. The veterans were very much
stirred up that such history should
be foisted on the people of this section
as fair and impartial account of the
war.
The following resolution was offered
and adopted:
Resolved, That the camp authorize
Mr.. Harrison to vanquish that author
in an article refuting his statements,
and to thank him in advance for so
doing"
Colonel W. A. Hemphill moved that
Mr.. Harrison be authorized to send .
copy Of his article to the publisher and
author of the book with the official
endorsement Of the camp. This was
carried.

IMPERSOyATED THE DEVIL.
Young Man Causes Stampede of Q Church
Congregation.


At Bourbon, Ind, Rev. Mr.. Akin,
pastor Of the flock of Bethel church,
took for his theme at an evening SER
vice "His Satanic Majesty" He
painted the arch-fend in vivid colors.
At the close of the description, be-
ing dressed to represent devil with
large head and switching tail ambled
up the aisle, blowing smoke from his
nostrils and believing:
81 am the devil, and want all OF
you"
The audience became panic-stricken.
Men, women and children were hurled
to the floor and trampled upon in the
mad rush FOR the door. In the confu-
sion the stove was overturned and the
building caught fire. Before the hor-
rified members regained their senses
the tire had made such Roadway that
all attempts to save the church were
in vain. George Akin, son of the
pastor, confessed that he, with the
help of other boys, rugged up the
devil suit, knowing the subject of his
fathers sermon.
