In the United States Senate last
Saturday, Washington's Birthday
was observed by a rough and tum-
bic fight between two Senators.
The two belligerants were Ben Till
man and John l.. McLaurin, both
from South Carolina. There has
been bad blood between them for
sometime, and when Tillman in a
speech, charged McLaurin with
selling his vote for Administration
patronage, the latter denounced il
as lie, and Tillman charged al him
like mad bull, and they went at il
like prize fighters Assistant Ser
geant alarms Layton, rushed be-
tween them and caught most Of the
blows. Senator Scott from this
state, who IS a large and powerful
man and Senator Warren, also big
man, caught the fighters and pulled
them apart and stopped the scrap.
Both apologized to the Senate, but
are under contempt and not al
lowed TO vote.

The daily papers are now filled
with accounts of the visit to this
country of the brother of Emperor
William of Germany. The royal
guest is being shown great deal of
attention and surfeited with ban
quets, receptions and official cour-

large, fine looking German of the
blonde type, and is much more
popular with his people than his
brother William. The latter is a
soldier, while Prince Henry has al
ways been sailor and is at the

We are informed, says the Clarks-
burg Post, that Smith has raised
considerable excitement in our
neighboring village. Some have
been influenced by his teachings
and hold up for him while Others
have not.
According to reports, Smith
preached that "there are thousands
of children damned because their
parents teach them 10 pray" and
that prayer is not necessary to
salvation. " methodist preachers
teach hellish doctrine" says he,
according to reports. The Metho.
dist flock at Shinnston led by the
pastor, have taken the matter VI
and things look pretty squally down
in that direction. The Methodist
minister has had printed and dis.
tributed thousands of large hand
bills inviting people to come tc
hear his sermon next Sunday night.
The printed bills refute absolutely
all of Smiths assertions and preach.

that he has converted over one hun.

offers to give the Evangelist ten dol

interested party.
Some of the leading citizens are
taking the matter in hand with
view of forcing Smith to leav town
They claim that according to Ger

more harm than good in the llttl,

The city election in Pittsburg
last week was an overwhelming vic
tory for the citizens ticket, and
John B. Larkin, the Democratic
candidate for Comptroller, who
headed the ticket was elected by
about 5000 majority over the Re
publican machine nominee. The
better element among the Republi-
cans fused with the Democrats and
beat the Ring out Of sight, also
electing majority Of the City
Council. The people arose in their
might and smashed the corrupt
machine controlled by Gov. Stone
and Senator Finn, and put them
