Resolved, That it is the sense of
the Democratic members of the General
Assembly that the reasons given for
his proposed action of afiliating with
the corrupt Quay machine, but thinly
DISCUSSES his disgraceful conduct in
proving recreant to the trust reposed
in him by the Democratic voters and
good citizens of his district.
Resolved, That 1t has been more
than a generation since our State was
brought into like shame and disre-
pute by the bad faith and recreant
conduct of three members of the AS
sembly who. d~isregarding their duty
to their constituents, their fealty to
their party and their obligations to the
people of their district to represent
honestly and faithfully the trust re-
posed in them and whose names have
become a reproach and a by-word
throughout the State as faithless leg
islators.
Resolved, That while we recognize
the right of a member of the General
Assembly to vote his convictions on
questions of economical and party pol
icies, We condemn the action of Sena-
tor Washburn in allying himself with
the Quay machine, which he has SO
frequently and earnestly denounced in
the past when the result of his course
must inevitably lead, if successful, to
again place in position and power the
worst and mos servile elements of the
Republican party"

I'm allying myself with the Repub-
lican party, / shall participate in its
councils and organization"
Mr.. Washburn's declaration created
much surprise as he was counted on
by the Democrats to vote with them
on the organization of the Senate and
for the party nominee for UIsted
States Senator. His desertion gives
the friends Of Col. NJ. S. Quay control
of the Senate and practically insures
the election of VIM. P. Snyder, of
Chester, as president pro tenn.
The Washburn incident has made
no material change in the calculations
of Col. Quay's opponents. They still
insist that the former Senator will not
be elected and that the anti-Quay Re
publicans and Democrats will control
the organization of the House. Sena-

that the defeat of Quay for Senator
and VIM. T. Marshall for speaker, was
absolutely assured. Col. James M.
Guffey, of Pittsburg, the Democratic
leader, in a statement tonight, says:
"At a meeting of the House Demo-
Gratis tomorrow morning a committee
will be appointed to meet a like com
mittee of independent Republicans to
go over the question of a fusion or
ganization of the House. My informa-
ton is that if the independent Repub-
licans have sufficient votes to accom-
plish it, that the Democrats will be
unanimous for a fusion organization
of a fair and equitable basis"
Mr.. Marshall says positively that the
stalwart Republicans will organize the
House and that he will be elected
speaker. Col. Quay's friends are jubi-
liant over the accession of Senator
Washburn and profess to be absolute
ly confident of his election. A caucus
of the anti-Quay Republicans will be
held tomorrow to formulate a plan
for fusion with the Democrats on the
organization of the House. A candi-
date for United States Senator may
also be chosen. The stalwart Republic
cans of the Senate and House will hold
caucuses tomorrow evening to select
officers and employees, and on Tuesday
evening to formally nominate Col.
Quay for Senator.
A meeting of the thirty Democratic
Senators and members of the House
was held to take action on the deser-
ton of Senator Washburn. A COM
mittee of three was appointed to wait
upon the Senator and another commit
tee of five was appointed to draft res
olutions against him.
The resolutions committee reported
the following, which were adopted:

OF the British Steamer Lake Megan
tic ON Her Attempt to
Cross the Ocean.
With More Than Five Hundred Pas
on Board, the Ship Met "a
Furious GcIe When Four Hundred
Miles Out. and Had to Put back.

QUEENSTOWN, December 31.-The
British steamer Lake Megantic. Cap
tain Taylor from Liverpool, December
25th and the Queenstown, December
26th for st. John, returned to Queens
town harbor yesterday Sunday
morning after a terrible experience in
the gale. She left Queenstown We'd
nesday carrying the Canadian mails,
forty-five saloon and second cabin
passengers and about 500 steerage
passengers, principally foreigners with
many Jews among them. She had
reached a point about four hundred
miles west Thursday night when she
encountered a merciless gale. Behav-
ing splendidly, she would have got
through had not the steering gear be-
come damaged badly, placing her in a
dangerous position. The crew worked
bravely and rugged hand gear; and the
vessel was again brought under con-
troll. Unfortunately the hand gear al
SO became damaged.
The gale lasted twenty hours and an
immense sea broke over the vessel,
smashing the BOBBY match and food
ing her between decks, where the
storage passengers were located. 1t
also washed away a greater portion of
the fittings and did considerable deck
damage. Three life boats were smash
ed. Some Of the crew were seriously
injured and one seaman was killed on
deck.
When the storm moderated, Captain
Taylor decided to return to Queens
town. 1t was difficult work to steer
the big ship, but she managed to an
Choir here without assistance. The Of
ficers and men were. exhausted.
To everybody's surprise the Beaver
Company directed Captain Taylor to
take the Lake Megantic to Liverpool
and she proceeded this evening with all
her passengers and mails, to be trans
ferred to the Lake Superior, which will
leave the Mersey Tuesday.
The company ordered a tug to ac-
company her but none was available
here. Tugs will be sent from Liver
pool to meet her. There will be con-
siderable anxiety as to her safety in
her present disabled condition, espec-
tally as the weather has again broken
into a high northwest gale.

NEW A PROJECT
Will Probably Become an Assured
Fact This Week.

Fact This Week.
The success of the new theatre pro-
ject promoted by Messrs. George
Laughlin and Will E. Stone depends
largely Upon the local pride of men
of means in this community. There
is no necessity for dwelling upon the
need of a new theatre and convention
hall, nor is it necessary to remind citi-
zens that Wheeling is thirty years be-
hind the times in this respect. If
Wheeling is to be up-to-date, and to
wear the metropolitan airs she desires
to assume, it will be necessary to have
a new building of the nature projected,
even before a great many other innova-
tons take place.
If it were simply a question of donat-
Ing small sums of money for the en-
terprise, there should be no difficulty
In securing the remaining $40, 1000 nee
essary to make the proposed institu-
ton an assured fact. On the contrary,
however, the proposition means a safe
business investment, with a reasonable
certainty of yielding a profit of six
per cent annually. Citiznes who desire
to invest in the enterprise, and who
have not been solicited by Messrs.
Laughlin and Stone, should comuni
cate their intentions to either of these
gentlemen.
1t it understood, that persons
who subscribe to the proposed
stock company, are not COM
mitted to the selection of any GER
tain location, nor to the adoption of
any certain plans for a theatre. Those
are matters which the company, as a
matter of course, will determine for it.

An EFFORT 70 SETTLE IT.
INTERVIEW WITH A BENWOOD
CITIZEN CONCERNING ANOTHER
NEW PHASE
OF THE RAILWAY SITUATION
A Conference at Which the Company
Refused to Accept What the Cftf-
xens Consider a COncession-A
Eve Cent Fare and Cars Over the
Present Loop Were Asked For.

1t is learned that the latest develop
ment in the question of a change in
the Wheeling railway tracks through
Central Benwood is in the form of a
refusal on the part Of the company to
receive a proposition from the citizens.
Joseph Mahood, a member of the com
mittee of thirteen representing the four
wards Of the town, speaking of the
controversy last evening, stated that
the last concession of the citizens was
offered Saturday to the company rep
resentative and rejected.
1t provided for the connecting of the
tracks on kentucky Heights, abandon
ing the track On Ninth and Bessemer
streets, which would do way with the
dangerous crossing at the Wheeling
steel works; for the changing of pass
engers either at Dugan's. place or the
Fourth street connection and a fire
cent fare from the northern corporate
limits OF the city to North Wheeling
and a return trip for the same fare,
also for two cars on the Moundsville
line to drop into Benwood over Schad's
crossing every hour, and back over the
same route, thus using the loop of the
present system.
Mr.. Mahood announced in his refer
ence to the conference held Saturday
that the company's representative OBJ
Jected to the proposition insomuch as
the number of cars was concerned and
also the fact that it was not shortening
the mileage, which was considered as
unsatisfactory to them as the danger
ous crossings. This proposition also
included a five CEN fare from Forty
eighth street going south to the switch
of the Moundsville line in the middle
of the Narrows, and the only thing
which the company was willing to
concede, so it is understood, was the
running of three cars of the Wheeling
line above over the present loop in
D0A"oou every AouI, IHuS competing
the citizens TO walk to Schad's or
Dugan's crossing in order to catch a
Moundsville car.
A meeting of the citizens committee
will be held next Friday evening for
the purpose of hearing reports in the
matter, and a report of the conference
will then be submitted.

WOMAN'S WORST
I. FOE IS DRESS
1T KILL sHER IN SPITE OF THE
FACT THAT SHE DEvoTEs
HER LIFE TO IT.

In spite of all the devotion OF women
to dress, it is a sad fact that this Very
thing has become their worst enemy. Not
because the love Of adornment is wrong,
nor because the wish to be admired is
other than natural, but because women
cannot be got to discern the great diff
ference between derormity and adorn-
ment, nor to perceive that truth and
reality must be the right and only foun-
dation of all true art.
Consequently their dress has become a
mere tangled mass Of materials. Ex-
tremely artificial, and being in its first
conception not only hideous but also OPP
posed to every natural line. 1t requires
all sorts Of eNtraneous decoration to
make it bearable.
1t seems absurd to have to remind peo-
PIE what the actual form is which they
are seeking to clOthe, but 1t is almost ne
cessary for the a Of argument. Be
ginning at the shoulders, 1t may be de-
scribed roughly as an uppart part of a
nearly straight, oblong shape, supported
upon two comparatively slender legs. the
narrowest part being at the feet and
ankles.
Can this resemble anything less than
an upper part with a sudden construction
in the middle narrowing it to almost a
second neck, and supported, not on two
legs at all, but a long single barrel With
the widest part on the ground? For That
is the outline of the form which
ADlS IlSto DClUlS lax lillI . ~ CT IAS
thought Of the appearance of any wo-
man.
It is perfectly certain THAI this COM
preston in the center of the body, being
entirely unnatural and only achieved by
outside pressure begun in youth, does
tncalculable harm, as nature has planned
the inside organs to fit into the space
arranged without any tapering at the
waist line. The exaggerated corset-nade
waist is therefore produced by a p
sion sufficient to displace these organs to
a certain extent.
If they remained firm and in their
places no alteration of shape could be
attained for it is useless for people to
attempt to deny the displacement. Being
then more or less out of their right po-
sitions, they are unable to fulfill their
functions properly and become more or
less congested, giving rise gradually to a
long string of ailments which constantly
tend to become chronic.
There is, however, no possibility of get
ting rid of this waist compression unless
come form of dress visibly two-legged is
to replace the skirt. Without it the bar
rel shape would continue in an unbroken
line dixie a Noah's ark figure) from the
should to the ground, and though this
would be no whit more unnatural thar
the waist-compressed shape, it would be
more monotonouS and clumsy looking
So the two things, skirts and waist con
Striction, being i~nterdependent, will for
ever stand or fall together.
1t is not too much to put this ever
more strongly, for if we picture to our
selves such figures as We daily and hour
ly see among us with a 10 or 2O-incl
waist and think of them unclothed an
