O. south of Center street was handed down this morning and is not calculated to allay the trouble already existing. Judge Voris decided the points brought before him but the de-cision opens up new fields of controversy and the A. C. has announced that the case will be carried up bv the Company.

In relation to Center street the right of way between the two companies from Center street south was deckled to begin in the south-line of Center street six and one-half feet east of the central line of the sidetrack of the N. P. which is east of the main track, thus southerly parallel to the center of said sidetrack six and one half feet east in 1881.

AN ADJOURNMENT ORDERED UNTIL TO-MORROW. Several of tho Members Ilandsomj ly Remembered with Floral Tributes Presented by Admiring Friends. Washington, Dec. 7.

Tho heavy rain storm which visited the city this morning had little effect in dampening the ardor of persons desirous of, witnessing the opening of the Fifty-second Congress and at an early hour a groat crowd surged through the corridors of the capitol. Especially was this true in Vv the House wing, where there was no vent to relieve the crowd, owing to the fact that the galleries wero kept closed in order to enable the Democrats to hold their caucus. The utmost good feeling prevailed, however, and marble stairs were improvised into seats by the-- patient waiters. Hardly had the caucus adjourned when a wild rush was made for the galleries and in a few minutes every available seat in the long benches wag occupied and tho less fortunate spectators were compelled to view the scene overeach other's shoulders from the door recesses. -Complaint was made that the members' galley was opened some time before the others.

On the floor all was bustlo and con-confusion. As the Republicans entered the hall of the House where tho Democratic caucus had been held they were greeted by their Democratic colleagues and congratu lations and condoleuces were'exchanged. Tho chamber presented a bright ap-pearance notwithstanding the' gloominess of the day. The furniture had had been reupholstored and tho blue covering on tho desks" contrasted pleasantly with the new terra cotta carpot. Many of the desks wero ornamented with floral designs of more or less beauty although they were not as numerous as in former years and tho Speaker's desk, was conspicuous by the abaeuco of adornment.

The handsomest piece was one standing about four feet high eut mounted bv a crown of roses and lilies, presented to Mr. T. J. Campbell, of New York. bv the Orien tal Club.

Mr. Campbell modestly with-. drew in order to escape congratulations and his place was immediately- taken py Mr. Allen, ot Mississippi, who as- eumed proprietorship of the tnbuto. Mr.

Li Hung Chang the viceroy has telegraphed the Chron icle's Shanghai correspondent confirm-the news of the utter crushing defeat of the rebels. It is feared here that this unexpected success will cause the gov ernment to overrate its power to sup press the rebellion entirely. The correspondent then gives further details of the recentmassacre.which show that it was a veritable carnival of bloody He savs: "The merciless horde at tacked and set fire to several orphan ages and an awful holocaust was the re suit. Terrible scenes were enacted on the reads along which Christians fled from the assassins. Many who became; exhausted dropped by the roadside and died.

Paeis, Dec. 7. The vote of the Sen ate raising the tantt on Spanish wines imported into France is leading to the menace of reprisals by Spain.

A ma jority of the Madrid newspapers de mand an increase in the tariff on French industrial-products. Out of the 18 arch Bishops and 67 Bishops throughout France only six to have refrained from open adhesion the ArcmBishop of Aix against the gov ernment in the matter of the decree forbidding Bishops to leave their dio ceses without permission. In the matter of the decree with drawing the prohibition of the importa tion of American pork the French officials are desirious of having it under stood that their action was practically decided upon a year ago, but actually settled upon last July, when the chamber of deputies gave an overwhelming vote in favor of the bill. They say that nothing then prevented the formal withdrawal of the decree 6f the accidental delay in the senate caused by the cabinet crisis in the last three days of the session. At that time the government fully intended to withdraw tlie decree within a week and had all the necessary preparations made for the event.

The French officials also insist that they caused the removal of the prohibition by the German government which did not intend to withdraw its prohibition unles3 France did. The German embassy at Paris, the French officials declare, was constantly sending to the government offices and to the American legation trying to find out what progresshad been made. The vote in the French chamber of deputies, showed they were absolutely committed to the removal of the prohibition and could not decently withdraw from the position. The delay in the senate's action gave the Germans the chance to get in ahead. So they instructed Count Arco-Valley, the German minister at Washington, to arrange the matter through Secretary Foster as speedily as possible.

No considerable effort had been made in any other quarter until the negotiations were brought nearly to a completion here and Congress had published some of the correspondence. It was openly said, in debate and said eTery where privately by French that they were formed to defeat the government efforts to restrict the duty fir3t to 12 francs and afterwards to 20, by the action of Germany and Italy. They say if we had not named the same duty with these countries we would have been offering a premium to bring all the American pork in rivalry with our farmers and keep it out of Italy and Germany. The American minister to France, Mr. Whitelaw Reid, wa3 called upon recently by the representative of the Associated ress and urged to give his view upon these points.

Mr. Reid hesitated at first to give utterance to any thing for publication but finally said: "Yes, it had been a long struggle. Almost tho first instructions I received from the American government were on this subject. The home administra tion was very much 'in earnest abotu.it. Still so far as the government was con cerned, the struggle has been over since tlie close ot diplomatic correspondence on the subject in" September, 1890.

Since that date the French cabinet has been absolutely unanimous for the withdrawal of the prohibition and for the' twelve franc duty. It named that duty in the tariff bill sent to the chamber of deputies and has steadily and unanimously opposed any advances in the rate. The chamber of deputies gave the bill its adhesion in July last but raised the proposed duty 20 francs. The senate made a most determined resistance and finally raised the duty again to 25 trancs." "Why did the government wait for the chamber and senate to fix the du ty?" or tne same reason tnat tne ourned child dreads the fare. Jules Ferrv, under Prest.

Grevy withdrew the decree in 1883 and the chamber disap proved it within a week. This time tnev resolved to commit tne two nouses before hand, so the withdrawal when made would stick. Besides they all thought that the old duty would be disproportionately low as com pared with the duties on other ar tides in tne new tana and that must therefore be raised betore it would be fair to let the trade be re- umed." If our inspection in America is properly done, I do not believe the one here will make mucn delay, or cost much, or last long. But the government was so pressed and stories about. our inspection were so recmess that ther had to promise one here at the outset." Will there be much business? In the higher grades certainly.

to shoulders and sides more will de pend upon the price.

P. 0 Railways. A HIGH BOARD PENCE NOW ADORNS THE DEPOT SITE. Making a Very Conspicuous Boun dary Line toC, A. C.

Prop erty Condition of Things Decidedly Dangerous. Another chapter was added to the feud between the N. P. O. Rail way Co.

and the C. A. C. Railway Co. by the occurrences of to-day.

In several parts of the city the claims of the two roads have clashed and injunction Suits have been filed one after another, but their decision only shifted the point of conflict and the roads have for a long while been constantly dis puting over their respective rights The depot changes on the two roads have furnished a fruitful source of litiga tion and already several decisions have been handed down from Common Pleas Court as the result of injunction suits. A recent decision of Judge A. Voris defined the rights of the A C. and N. P.

O. roads in the grounds.formerly occupied by the Un ion depot. By it a triangle extending from the southeast corner of Mill and Summit streets to a point on the old de pot building 20 feet south of the north end, thence to a point 86 feet west of point 40 feet soutii of the south end of the depot, thence back to the corner of Mill and Summit streets was declared neutral land. The A. C.

Ry Co. was given possession of the old depot site and of the strip of land extending 40 feet south of the south end of the depot and extending from that point 86 feet west and connecting from there with the point 20 feet south of the north end of th depot. This decision gave theC. A. C.

the land to a point within four feet of the platform of the Erie depot, thus cutting it off from communication from the north side except by a four foot passage way While the A. C. was given this land the decision of the court continued the temporary in junction which prevented it from interfering with the right of the N. P. use the 40 feet.

The injunction was continued until the other points in the case -could be Set It was announced that a decision would be handed down on these ques tions this morning and the A. C. supposed that the injunction restrain ing it from taking possession of its land north of tne Erie depot would be dissolved. Chief Engineer James Harrington of the A. has been in the city for some time and last evening Koadmas-ter James Donelon arrived- from Co- umbus and was closeted with him.

The A. C. Company moved the old depot off and placed tracks down to the end of the site occupied by it, This was accomplished last week bat nothing was done to indicate that it was intended to occupy the ground recently given the company by the court. The decision of Judge A. C.

Voris was to be handed down this morninc A carload of material for the building of a heavy board fence was pushed down the track which now occupies tne site oi tne oid union depot. At about. 9:30 A. standard' time, the crowd of men employed on the new tracks of the C. A.

armed with picks, shovels and hammers made a charge for ground just north of the Erie depot. They were in charge of Roadmaster Donelon -and numbered probably 90. In a twinkling a tape line was stretched four feet from the north end of tlie Erie depot, the Italians ber an digging post holes through the hard bed of elag and other men brought over the materials for the fence. But not only was a fence being built at the north end of the depot but along the west side of the N. O.

tracks, four feet and seven inches from the N. P. O. main track another fence was in process of construction. The men understood what was to be done and directed by their foreman the work went on rapidly.

But the local representatives of the Erie and N. P. O. companies were not idly watching the work, although a large crowd of spectators were viewing it and remarking on the situation. Telephone bells were tinkling D.

B. AungPt, agent, and A. G. Lusk, supervisor or the P. were soon in communication with their attorneys, the firm of Tibbals Frank.

The senior member of the firm Judge N. D. Tibbais, was busily engaged at the court nouse on tne missel case as was the junior member of the firm of Baird Voris. attorneys for the C. A.

C. Chas. Baird, the senior member, came in from Georgia this morning and for a while knew nothing of the condition things were in. Meanwhile Engineer James Harrington had listened to udge Voris'. decis ion and as soon as he found that the temporary injunction would hold until the decree next Monday he hur ried over to the scene of the trouble and in less time than it took to dig them the noies on tne enjoined ground were tilled up and tne timbers carried from the ground.

The construction of the fence from Mill street down to the corner of the old depot site was continued rapidly and this evening a fence stands stark and grim all along that side ot the jn. tracks. With this fence the N. P. O.

representatives confess they have no right to meddle and it may continue to stand for many ages as did the old Union depot. Its presence will prevent the Erie from loading any ireignt at that point and make passage for pedestrians exceptionally hazardous when trains are standing or running along the Erie tracks. The A. C- justify the placing of this fence on the ground that the land belongs to the company ana it nas a right to take any action which will prevent infringement. The right of the A.

C. to place the fence at the end of the 40 foot strip south of its depot eite will be bitterly contested Dy tne jn. e. O. and other injunction suits may confidently be expected.

Should the "courts allow ttablacing of the fence it would compel the N. P. O. to tear up some ot the freight tracks and open a place on the south side of its depot for transfer carriages, man ana express wagons. Such a fence will not be par ticularly directed to beautifying the present Erie depot.

of DEADLOCK CONTINUES. No Change Takes Place ia the Speakership Fight. AND AN ADJOURNMENT DECIDED UPON. IS Followers of all Candidates Loyal to Their Leaders and Say There Will Be No Desertion. Washiuotok, Dec.

7. The day opened without any apparent change in the sharp contest and there was a gen eral impression that on account of the brief time between the opening of the caucus and the meeting of the no choice would be possible this morning, The fire candidates were quite as cheerful as ever and their fol lowers seemed imbued with that same confidence and persistency which have been characteristic features of the con test. A rumor was current early Mi is morning that Mr. Hatch's five devoted followers had become convinced tif the hopelessness of the fight and res ved to desert the Missouri candidate And each seek his second choice-, but Hatch indignantly denied that there was any liklihood of such an occur rence. The same report nau it mat two would go to and two of Mr.

Hatch's other supporters would go to Mr. Mills, leaving one man on the doubtful list, but claimed by all four ot the candidates. Mr. Tarsney was seen, and while giving no expression as to hi3 choice for second; denied that there was any prospect of an immediate scattering of r. Hatch's upporters.

Mr. McMiliin's 10 supporters met for a few mir.utes at that gentleman's head quarters a short time before the hour of the caucus and reaffirmed their un wavering adherence to the candidacy of the gentleman from Tennessee- The same rumors that have been periodical for four days of the speedy disintegra tion of Mr. Springer's supporters found repetition again early this morning but careful inquiry failed to find any further ground for these reports than the announcement that Messrs. Cable and Newberry, of Illinois, were for Mr, Mills as second choice whenever the situation should convince them of the hopelessness of- Mr. Springer's candidacy.

The Illinois leader himself was quite as buoyant as ever and expressed the conviction that the contest would find solution after many weary hours of balloting to-night. Mr. Crisp asked to be excused from any expression further than that his ranks were unbrosea and he expected to see increased strength at the forenoon caucus. Mr. Bynum, Mr.

Mills spokesman said Mr. Mills would certainly be selected but he declined to state who the members are that he expects to come over to the Texas candidate or how many ballots would be required to prove the justness of his prediction. The Democratic caucus resumed ita session promptly at 10 o'clock this morning and without any preliminary proceedings the secretary began to call the roll. The roil disclosed the presence of 212 members but others were constantly arriving. The 18ta ballot was then begun.

As the roll call proceeded other members dropped in one by one until tho 12 members were increased to 22G. This lef t.besidea the candidates but three absentees, Messrs. Buchanan, Fyan and Terry. The first two named gentlemen are sick and were also absent Saturday, but Terry made an appearance on tne second ballot and swelled the total of members present to 227. The excitement was in tense during tne can ot tne roil on the first ballot.

It was realized that the hour for solicitation had passed, however, and the tirt ballot was devoid of the argumentative scenes wmcn characterized the balloting ot Saturday night. Every member was left free to exercise his preference without persuasion and as the roll can proceeded and no changes were noted it became apparent that the claims of the leading candidates were extravagant and that there would be no surprises. Probably the most interesting personage just at this time was Mr. Cable, of Illi nois, who was connaentiy expected oy the friends of Mr. Mills to desert to the 1'exas candidate on the first ballot and to be thereupon followed by Mr.

Newberry of Mr.Springer's supporters. When tho name of the Rock island member was caned, now- ever, Mr. c-abie voted tor Mr. springer acd subsequently Mr. Newberry did tlie same thus blasting tlie bopes of a break among Mr.

Springer's sturdy support-era. As the followers of all the other candidates were equally firm the 18th ballot showed no change from the 17th of Saturday night. The result was: risp 94 19 Jian 5 It ia tra Mr. Mills did not receive the 91 votes oHaturday but this was due to the absence Terry, ot Arkansas, who subsequently entered the hall and voted for the candidate on the succeeding ballot.hus bringing his vote up to tho old of 91. The first ballot bad consumed about 15 minutes and it became evidentnat but two ballots could be taken Wore the meeting of the House as the kvueries of that chamber must be opened o'clock in order to give time for en.

tering and seating of visitors. Ve second ballot of the day or the of the contest wa3 quite a perfunctory one. It was evident that no choice could be made betore 12 o'clock, but that the Fifty-second Congress must open with the Speakership question still unsolved and that the contest must be resumed after the adjournment of the House in the afternoon. The 19th baliot wa3 finally announced and gave Mills ilcMillia 94 81 19 17 ttevens- 1 This was exactly the same as the last ballot of Saturday night. But 45 minutes now Lpuiained before the meeting of the House and another ballot was impossible.

A hasty consultation was held by th.e leading partisans of the several candidates and an adjournment to 2 f. m. was agreed upon. Tho motion to thi effect found no opposition and WA3 carried unanimously. At 2 o'clock the caucus re-asj'ublcd C.

The Sunday cnool department has a large auditorium lighted from above by a beautiful dome, and "rounded by 12 radiating class rooms in two stories, with library, vestibule with gallery in front of second story classrooms." The main auditorium has what is termed a "raking gallery," that is, the gallery rakes down and forms the choir lolt in the rear of the pulpit, similar to that of the First Methodist Church of thi3 city. The church and Sunday School departments are separated by great Muling doors 40 feet wide and 13 teet high and when these are thrown open and the two departments thus united, the two galleries are also and become one continuous gallery around the entire building.

Then turning from the heifers to bystanders: "It is your birthday" was suggested Noticing a card tied to the horns of one, he found the words "From your brother stockholders of the Summit Sewer Pipe Company."

7. In ths Senate to-day when tho credentials of Mr. Brice as Senator-elect from Ohio were presented and read, Mr. Sherman said: "Before the oath of office is administered to Mr. Brice I desire to say that a largo portion of the citizens of Ohio, contend that he was not an inhabitant of that State at the time of his election and was therefore, not eligible to a seat in this body.

On examining the precedents, of which there are several in the history of the government and some of them most important, I am entirely satisfied that Mr. Brice is entitled to be sworn in on the prima facie case of bis credentials which are regular in form. I simply give this notice.howevor, so that his being sworn may not be conidiered any waver or any misapprehension or misconstruction if- the' people of the Legislature of Ohio should assert and prove to the satisfaction of the Sonato that Mr. Brice was not at the time of his election an inhabitant of Ohio, i think that this statement from me is proper and necessary. But I mako no objection to the swearing of Mr.

Brice." II. D. Miles, of Chicago, is at The Buchtel to-day. The Sons of Veterans arp making arrangements to placo another war drama on the stage. We are putting out ton our tables dainty Holiday Books aud Novelties every day.
