their consideration. This is one feat
ure which accounts for his success in
criminal cases, and another is his
knowledge of the principles of law and
his faculty for analyZing the evidence
in case. Mr.. QuarleS is not and new
er has been a politician. Always a
student of politics, as we'll as of other
matters which affect the life OF the
American republic, and also firm,
unfaltering and consistent republican,
yet his connection with political cam
paigns has been mostly confined 10
the oratorical field. He has been IN
ardent worker in every campaign and
has thus obtained an extended &C
quaintance among the republicans of
the state, which served him well in his
contest for the senatorship. With the
exception Of one term in the assembly
and the following term in the senate,
nearly twenty years ago, Mr.. Quarles
has not held public office While serv-
ing in the state senate at the session of
1881 he received a handsome vote for
United States senator, but he had
promised his wife that he would stay
out of politics for ten years and devote
his time to educating their boys, so he
was obliged to turn a deaf ear to the
solicitations of his legislature friends.
Mr.. Quarles is in the prime Of life,
being So years old and in the enjoyment
of perfect health, an ideal man, so far
as physical characteristics are con-
cerned, for senator. He was born at
Kenosha, then Southport, Dec. 16, 1843.
In 1862 he entered the University of
Michigan, but interrupted his course
in the spring Of 1864 to go into the
army as a private in the goth Wiscon-
sin volunteers. He came home as first
lieutenant and returned to his studies,
graduating in 1866 He then studied
law and was admitted to the bar in
1868, entering into practice with his !
preceptor, o. S. Head, at Kenosha. He I
early succeeded in gaining the conf -,
dence of the people. He was district I
attorney for six years, and mayor of |
the city for one term in 1876, declining |
a denomination. He was president OF |
the board of education in 1877, and
member of the assembly the following
year. In 1880 and 1881 he represented )

MdulO1, Jau OIL
The deadlock is over! J. V. Quarles
was, formerly eletced United States
senator al the joint legislative session
at noon today. The end came at the
republican caucus last evening with
dramatic suddenness, and by acclama-
ton. 1t was all over in an instant af
ter the opening formalities had been
concluded. Assemblyman linn, an
ticipating Senator McGillivray, with
drew Stephenson's name just as
Babcock's would have been withdrawn
had McGillivray got the floor first. But
Babcock's came next, then Cooks
and Webb's and, with hurrah, all was
over. Then Quarles came and said
with characteristic eloquence how
much obliged he was and Babcock also
came with glad tidings of great joy. A
grand love-feast at the capitol and in
formal demonstrations at the Park
hotel concluded an evening of history
making. Up to the adjournment Sat
urday noon SO caucus ballots had
marked the contest. Five ballots in
open session were taken, including the
one yesterday noon. At the various
senatorial headquarters last night no
disappointment was manifested. Webb
was not on the scene. Cook was COM
! placent. He had really hoped to win,
and yet his countenance depicted no
grief. Stephenson was serene but Sc
rious. He looks upon this fight as his
last for the toga. Babcock was the
embodiment of cheerfulness. He had
made a hit by going to the capitol and
making rousing party speech. Mr..
Quarles showed his happiness, but was
tired. All headquarters were thronged.
Each candidate will probably break
camp today.

quests of $500 or over 5 per cent. upon

Madison, Jan. 26.-The senatorial
deadlock is unbroken. Today's onlv
change was that Assemblyman Har-
yey OF Oconto went from Stephenson
TO Quarles and staid. Assemblyman
Werheim of Marathon left Webb. and
went to Cook, then to Stephenson and
finally back to Webb.
Madison, Jan. 27.-In both houses

cents to 81, and the third and all other
| wires to so cents.

Madison, Jan. 27-At the morning

! blymen, Willott of ManitoWoc, Gala

pleton left Stephenson for Cook. These
were the only changes.

pointed by the governor to see if a
better system of land title transfers is
not practicable; by Mr.. Ella for regis
tering land titles in accordance with
the Iorrens system, and by Mr.. Olson
requiring all passenger trains to stop
at county seats. The vote for senator
in joint session at noon showed no
essential change, though reduced to
mere formality owing to so many
absentees.

SOCIAL EVENTS.

At noon, Wednesday, August I'd, rel
atives and intimate friends assembled
at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. A F..
Robinson, 1880 F street, to witness the
marriage of their daughter, Mabel, to
William f. Frieseke. To the strains Of
Mendelssohn's march, played by Miss
Celia Saunders, the bride and groom,
who were unattended, took their places,
and the impressive ceremony was read
by Rev. George of the Episcopal
Church from the prayer book which
the bride carried. Graceful decorations
were tastefully arranged in the par
lors, and flowers We're in abundance,
pink and white being the predom-
mating colors. The bride looked sweet
in her dainty wedding gown of white
organdie with trimmings of white sat
in ribbon, and her popularity was man
ifested by the many handsome and
useful presents she received. After
hearty congratulations the merry
party sat down to a wedding feast, the
good things eaten, and before the
many friends had an opportunity to
wish them happiness and godspeed,
the newly married pair had flown,
and escaped the usual shower of rice
and old shoes, much to the disappoint-
ment of fur-loving guests.

COURTHOUSE VS.. LAWYERS.
A Hot Game in Prospect Next
Saturday Afternoon.

Next Saturday afternoon will prob
ably see one Of the most warmly con-
tested games of the season between
teams composed of members Of the le-
gal profession and the county officials.
The lawyers say there won't be enough
of the Courthouse people left to con-
duct the affairs of the county, while
the guardians of the peace say the
men of jawbone will last about a
minute. The lineup of the teams will
be as follows:
|. For the Tax-eaters- Expert
Thomas Ahern, catcher; Clerk of the
Justices Court, Eugene Mccartney,
pitcher; Deputy Sheriff George Hilbert,
first base; Deputy Sheriff VIM. Flint,
second base; Deputy County Clerk
Pink O'Neil, third base; Clerk Dis
trict Attorney Joseph Pipher, short
stop; Clerk Law Library z. Van Wal
beck, center field; Sheriff Frank L.
Johnson, right field; Under Sheriff Da-
vid Reese, left field.
For the Lawyers-C. NJ. Beckwith,
Matt F. Johnson, John v. Powers,
catchers; j. ]. Bauer, w. s. Howe,
Hiram w. Johnson, pitchers; ]. S.

thur Seymour, Peter J. Shields, right
field; Charles Hughes, Hon. Joseph w.
Hughes, center fielders: Charles Bliss,
William H. Devlin, left field; w. A.
Gett, ]. Frank Brown, substitutes.
The lawyers have such an array OF
talent that they have been somewhat
at loss as to whom to play, but their
team will be chosen from the fore
going They desire to state that after
disposing of the county officials they
would be pleased to meet the doctors,
allowing the NJ. DIS to unite their
forces with the dentists. They feel it
will be a "cinch," anyway.
The Courthouse team organized yes
terday with the players above named
Frank T. Johnson is Manager and
Thomas Ahern Captain. The substi
tutes are: NJ. Wright, F. r. Duden,
Charles F. Schwilk, E. F. Kay and

statement. He said he had never heard
OF any artesian water in the valley
and that there could be none in such a
geological formation
D. A. Lindley said that the water in
the wells bored by the Chamber OF
Commerce flowed through gravel or
sand and not through open under
ground channels. He said that as a
matter of fact the pumping done by
the Chamber of Commerce had not
lowered the water of any of the wells
in the vicinity, regardless of state
ments to the contrary. He was posi-
tive about the matter, as he person
ally had measured the surrounding
wells, both before and after pumping.
They had succeeded, however, in lower
ing the water in we'll a half mile
away.
Mr.. Lindley said that many of the
pumps used by farmers were OF IoOo,-
600 capacity per day, and that all OF
these running failed to lower the sup
ply of water to any appreciate extent.
He was not ready to give an unquall-
fled opinion.
DR.. Henderson said if the commit
tee was to have the advice of an ex-
pert, it ought to have it as soon as
possible, and that such an expert would
advise the committee as to the proper
course to pursue.
1t was suggested that Engineer
Schusler would. if the committee de-
sired his services, be invaluable.
DR.. Power advised securing the SER
vices of man of broad scope and who
ho
oSition.
Mr.. Lindley said he understood that
the Board of Trustees would give no
money for boring wells, and with that
understanding he thought the commit
tee had little to do. He said he favored
nothing except an investigation OF the
whole proposition. He said whenever
the committee could place the best plan
for a water supply before the people 1t
would carry, but if a packed commit
tee-one opposed to securing a supply
from wells-was to pass the wells prop
osition without investigation the peo-
pie would not accept the result OF their
investigation. He thought every man
should go to work without favoring any
particular plan.
DIR. Henderson said if the committee
was to be handicapped as to expending
money to investigate wells, it would as
well disorganize and quit. He said
that, in view of the fact that the peo-
pie had on one occasion voted en-
phatically for supply from wells, he
could not recommend any other system
unless by investigation it was found
that a better supply existed. He
thought, however, that the Board OF
Trustees would impose no such handl-
cap.
On motion of Mr. Scott the committee
adjourned to meet the evening OF the
first Wednesday in September.

OLD WOMAN ARRESTED.
Abused Those Who Would Not
Buy Her Poems.

Special Officer Carroll read in the
Record Union" yesterday morning
that an old woman was terrorizing the
women in the vicinity Of Twelfth and
streets and abusing them when they
would not respond to her requests.
AS ne is on duty all night, he had
not before heard of her. as she operat-
ed in the day time. He watched for
her yesterday morning at Sixteenth and
p streets about 10 o'clock and caught
her in the act of abusing persons who
would not buy her poems. She has
some poems for sale and when any
one refuses to buy them she denounces
the parties SO doing. threatening them
with the vengeance of the Almighty
and claims to have Divine authority
therefor. She is thought to be insane
and will probably be examined for in
sanity.

same line of argument before the jury
he made in the Buchanan case, and City
