Legislature COnVeneS,

The Virginia Legislature reassem-
bled on Wednesday, after it's ad iourn
ment from the called session of July
last. The attendance in both branch
es was large, nearly all of the memb-
ers being present.
The practical question of how the
work of the revision of the laws in
accordance with the new Constitution
was to be made came up at the very
opening of the body. The old prob
lem as to who was to dominate this
important work was discussed, partic-
ulsry in the House.
The subject came up on resolution
offered in the Senate by Judge Mann
and adopted 10y the body, providing
for the appointment of JOINT steering
committee of five members. two from
the Senate and three from the House.
The resolution provided that this
committee was to make the assign
ments of the work of revision 10 the
different standing COMMITTEES of the
two houses. In the Senate the propo
sitiOn met with little opposition. but
it was bitterly fought in the House.
Mr.. Cardwell, of Hanover. who led
the tight last session for the appoint
men. of u commission to do this work.

BURGLARY AT LAKE VIEW.
House Of Mrs Wood Entered One
Niqht Last Week.

Details of bold burglary commit
ted at the home of Mrs. Charles /.
Wood, near Lake View, one night
last week, have just been made pa 'lic
The house was occupied only by
ladies and children of the family
when the burglar obtained entrance
to the house.
Mrs. +. Q. Jordan, wife of Hon. Z.
&. Jordan, who is niece of Mrs.
Wood, was the first one to discover
the presence of the intruder. She
was awakened by hearing someone
moving around upon the second floor
of the house but supposing that 1t
was one of the family she paid no
attention to the noise.
1t was not until Mrs. Jordan heard
the door of her own room tried that
she began to suspect that something
was wrong, and that some one was
trying to obtain an entrance to her
room, and Immediately gave an alarm
which aroused the entire family.
The alarm frightened the burglar
aud he hastily retreated and left the
house. A search was at once institu-
ted but as the intruder had made
good his escape nothing was developed
TO occasion any alarm at that time.
and the family again retired to bed.
Ii was In the morning, however that
the presence of the thief was made
manifest, when it was discovered that
their blankets had been taken from a
wardrobe in one of the bedrooms.
How entrance was gained to the
building is not known, although it is
thought that the burglar was secreted
in the building when it was locked
up for the night No clue as to the
guilty party has been obtained, but
it is thought that the one who enter
ed the house was familiar with the
premises, Judging from their manner
of operation. Every effort is being
made to bring the guilty one to justice

the Mann resolution. The House
lined up pretty we'll as it did last
session in its opposition to commits
sion and adjourned without taking
any action on the subject.
Governor Montague sent no message
or other communication to either house
and probably will not for some time.
When he will send in the names of
his appointments as members of the
corporations commission is hardly
known. He has until February to
do this and will prOably be in no
great haste.

Another point which must be
remembered in connection with the
recent campaign is that where con
gressional nominee reported TO Judge
Griggs that his district was close and
that it would require few hundred
dollars or perhaps the service of an
able speaker to pull him through
and the Judge spared him small
amount out of his carefully treasured
fund, Representative Babcock imme-
diately sent several speakers and
several hundred dollars into the DIS
trict. The Democrats will however
establish permanent campaign head
quarters in the near future and will
use every legitimate means to amass

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Democrats Encouraged by Heavy

German.
lFrom our REGULAR eorresnondentl }

trrOm our regular correspondent
Washington. ID. c., Nov. II.
When it was first realized that the
Repu blicans had won complete con-
troll of the House of Representatives
1t proved bitter disappointment to
the Democratic leaders in Washing
ton who had worked so indefatigably
all summer, but as the smoke of
battle clears away and it is possible
to take more dispsssionate view of
the situation there are many consol-
ing features in the Republican victory
Governor OdeIl, who carried New
York state 10y majority of 10000
two years ago, was this year elected
by so small majority that it is
evident to everyone, familiar with the
situation, that closer supervision
of the upstate polling places would
have ment bis defeat while. if such a
man as Judge Parker had been the
Democratic nominee, Mr. Odell
would have been showed under.
Again, prosperity in the party. as is
inevitably the case, has given rise to
numerous feuds in dispite the Presi-
dents appeal to hang together. A
number of Repn blican Senators and
Representatives have been in Wash
ington during the past week and all
emphatically declare that there will
be no change in the tariff schedules.
They are undoubtedly correct but
how will that please the western ele
ment of the party, the Iowans and
the Minnesotians especially?

There is Il good deal Of gossip in
Washington at present in regard to
the future of Arthur p. German,
Senator elect from Maryland. Mr..
German is an astute politician and an
able leader and it is assumed that he
will promptly become the leader of
the Democratic side of the Senate.
The Republicans, talking among
themselves, say he will prove a thorn
in their flesh, and many prominent
Democrats say "He is a safe man to

Boiler Explosion in Swift & Co.'S
Plant at Chicago Wrecks
the Building.
RUINS QUICKLY CATCH FIRE.
Cause of Disaster May Never Be
known, as Every Man Near
the Spot Lost His Life
Property Loss Small.

Chicago, Nov. 29.-WIth a deafenins re-
port, a boiler in Swift & Company's plant
exploded shortly after 10 o'clock this morn
ing.
Thirteen lives were sacrificed and scores
Of employees. visitors and others were In
juted.
Huge boilers were sent through the roof
Of the structure and hurled hundreds of feet.
Nobody within the boiler room survived
to tell the story of the accident, and it
may never be known what caused the ex-
plosion. A careful Investigation to-day.
however, convinced the experts that the
explosion was the result of carelessness on
the part of an employe, whose own life
also was lost.
Five minutes after the explosion nothing
Of the building but a pile Of twisted iron.
bricks and mortar remained.
Sheets of flame sprang from the ruins and
the spectators realized that it would be i'm
possible to ave the lives of those who
were caught in the wreck. The explosion
was of such force that adjoining buildings
were wrecked, torn and twisted like toys.
Men. women and boys at work in adjoln-
ing departments were hurled through WIN
dows to the ground below. Many OF them
escaped with but slight bruises. but most
Of the victims were hurt to such an extent
that 1t was necessary to remove them to
hospitals. The others were taken to their
homes.
Many theories were advanced as to the
responsibility for the disaster. One inspec-
tor declared that the explosion had been
caused by cold water injected in the
boilers, but a majority of the Investigators
held the opinion that the catastrophe had
been caused by low water. Nothing definite
was learned. however, and as all the men
in the boiler-room were killed it is not like
ly the cause Of the accident will ever be
known.
