HOUSE.
Washington, December 2.—Follett, as
a question of privilege, presented the following
preamble and resolution :
“I do impeach J^,ot Wright, United States
marshal of the southern district of Ohio, of
high crimes and misdemeanors. I charge
him with usurpation of power, and violation
of law, in that he appointed a large number
of general and special deputy marshals to
stand at several voting precincts in Cincinnati
at the election for members of congress
on October 14th, 1884, and armed said
deputy marshals with pistols and othei^
deadly weapons, said weapons being furnished
by the war department of the Uuited
States government; and that a number of
deputy marshals so appointed and armed
were notorious criminals, men known as ot
vicious and brutal habits and reputation, and
many of them nonresidents of Cincinnati
and the state of Ohio; also that said deputy
, marshals, acting under his orders and directions,
aided, abetted and encouraged fraudulent
voting, intimidation of voters, and gross
outrages upon the elective franchise and the
rights of the honest voters of the city in
furtherance of the interest of his political
party and its candidates.”
Follett said the single question presented
the committee for investigation was whether
a certain officer had or had not performed
one of the highest possible duties of the
government, the protection of the ballot in
pursuance of law or in known violation of'
it. That only did he desire the house to be
informed on.
lveifer chought before the house prepared
to impeach the United States marshal in Cincinnati,
it was important it should know the
whole situation surrounding that officer when
he undertook to provide that there should
be a peaceable election where all persons of
all parties could go and cast their ballots. At
the very time when the deputy marshals
were appointed in Cincinnati ihere were going
about the streets of that city officers, or
men pretending to be officers, of that municipal
corporation seizing men simply because
they were colored men, locking them up by
hundreds, and keeping them until the polls
closed. He might not be entirely correct,
but the newspapers state that in one station
house 300 colored men were held through
election day, in order that they could not go
to the polls and vote. Fie would like to
amend the resolution so as to widen the
scope of the investigation.
Miller (Pa.) regretted the investigation
stopped at the Ohio river. It should be extended
to the southern states, where no regard
was paid to how the ballot was cast or
counted.
G. D. Wise (Va.) said he had a resolution
prepared looking to the investigation of
an election in a southern state.
Miller sai d while he believed that in southern
states they had tried to kill and destroy,
the shot gun had been laid aside teaiporarily,
but they kept up the practice of counting
their men in without regard to the ballots
cast.
Follett declared the charge that negroes
were prevented from voting entirely without
foundation. Negroes from Kentucky and
Virginia were brought in in freight cars like
cattle for the purpose of voting in Cincinnati,
and these were the ones interfered with. The
resolution was then adopted without division.
IN GENERAL.
Springfield, III., Dec. 2.—Gov. Hamilton
rendered his decision in the Leman
Brand case. After an elaborate review of
the evidence and citation of authorities, he
awards the certificate to Leman,the republican
candidate for state senate in the sixth
district. The governor’s conclusion is that
bold forgery was committed to cheat the
people of the district out of their just rights,
and the object of the erasures was to change
the majority in the state legislatures and
thereby control the election of the United
States senator.
Missionary Work to Do at. Home.
The following is clipped Iromour esteemed
contemporary, the Gatesville Advance:
To the Waco Day: Gatesville and Coryell
county have had an occasional outbreak of
lawlessness, but Gatesville never was infested
with a gang of ruffians who, in the
very face of its people would open fire at mirrors
and pictures indiscriminately. Our peopie
don’t go around in clubs and engage in
the pleasant pastime of terrorizing hotels and
shooting out lights. You have a little home
mission woik now, brother Day.
And we have preached the gospel of law
and order, too, in as plain terms as the English
language will admit. The files of The
Day will show its unqualified condemnation
of the occurrence referred to by the Advance.'

EVENING ECHOES.
The Lumber War—Paying ^Assessments—Winter
Wear for Everybody.
The 22d mortuary assessment of The Texas
Benevolent Association fell due today. The
T. B. A. is known to be such a good thing
that sensible men pay these assessments with
alert cheerfulness.
Lewine Bros, have on deck a “mark
down” sale, that appeals with force to men
and,boys who need winter clothing. Their
announcement on the fourth page of this
afternoon’s paper should be read.
Tne lumber war in Waco continues and
dealers say they don’t know when it will
end. In East Waco the prices iare a little
lower than west of the river. The quotations
today are $12 to $14 per one thousand
feet.
Sanger Bros, are determined that the
ladies shall not plead high prices as a cause
for not purchasing winter wraps. Some of
the prices they announce in their big advertisement
this evening are startlingly low.

THE TAXMONEY SCANDAL.
Hater Phases ot the Sensations—Mr. Richey's
Return Hoped For.
The publication, in The Day of yesterday,
concerning the transaction in vvhich Messrs.
James R. Richey and Otis W. David were
central figures,was the general theme of conversation
today. A few persons knew of
the ^matter, but most people did not until
they read about it in The Day. To say that
there was unbounded surprise is drawing
it mild. Mr. Otis David talked freely
with a Day reporter this morning. He
said : “I don’t think it necessary to publish
any statement just now, but I am absolutely
innocent of any complicity in that transaction.
I knew nothing whatever about it and
can prove that I didn’t.” A representative
of The Day also saw Mr. J. W. Mann,
president of the Waco national bai\k, one o
Mr. David’s bondsmen. In company with
him was Mr. M. Surratt, another bondsman.
Both gentlemen joined in
the^ following statement: “We have
made the most thorough investigation
of this matter, and we believe we have in
our possession bottom facts and all the facts.
At the proper time we will use them. We
believe Mr. David to be utterly innocent of
anything even approaching wrong doing.
With all the lights before us, up to this time,
we are as ready, today, to go on his bond
as we were before we hea~d of this thing.
We believe Mr. David will come out thoroughly
vindicated.” Mr. Richey’s return to
the city is earnestly desired and hoped for
by his friends. They have telegraphed to him
at Woodville and it is said they ex pect him
home tonight or in the morning. They say
they feel confident he will vindicate himself.
It is simple justice to Mr. David to say that
nine out of every ten men The Day has
talked with on the subject profess their confidence
in his integrity and innocence.
It is unfortunate for Mr. Richey that
he is not here to speak for himself.
Since writing the foregoing lines Mr. TravE
F. Jones has received a telegram from Mr.
Richey. It was dated this morning, at some
little station in Smith county, of which Mr.
Jones says’he says he does , not remember
the name. It read about as follows: “Any
news? Wire me at Ogden and send Waco
papers and mail to Woodville,” Mr. Jones
at once answered: “Come home at once,
without fail. Youi family is well.” Since
this nothing has been heard from Mr.
Richey. Ogden is a railroad station it.
Smith county. If Mr Richey returns via
the Texas and St. Louis he can get here in
the morning. Otherwise he cannot reach
here earlier than 5 p. m. tomorrow.
Later—At 2:30 p. m., Mr. David called on
the Day and stated that he had concluded to
publish the following card, which is herewith
appended:
MR. DAVID’S CARD.
To the Public:
I wish to say to the public in answer to
the publication in The Day and Examiner
with reference to the Missouri Pacific railway
company, that the voucher purporting
to be signed by me, was never executed by
me or by my authority, and I was entirely innocent
of the existence of such a voucher
until last Monday evening, at which time I
was notified of its existence by one of my
friends. The statement made in this morning’s
“ Examiner ” to the effect that I was
unwilling to make a statement until the return
of Mr. Richey does me an injustice and
is incorrect. I am in no manner implicated
in the execution of the voucher and desire
that all the facts be known and urge investigation.
Respectfully,
Otis W. David.

LOCAL CRIMINALITIES
Current Wickedness in This Portion of the Mcr.l
Vineyard.
No further tidings have been received of

several articles of clothing stolen Monday
night.
A man named John Vladewell, from P'alls
county, came to Waco Monday and sold two
bales of cotton belongiug to Mr. Dave Me
Clurg, of Marlin. Made well did not return
the teamffind money, and Mr. McClurg came
to the city yesterday looking for him, but up
to a late hour he had not heard of his man,
team nor money. It is thought Madewell
has skipped out with the team and money.
Frank Moore, claiming to be from Kansas
City, is the name of the young man arrested
yesterday |by officers Hall and Hart,
charged with robbing. Mr. W. H. Maples,
of Valley Mills, was one of the victims, and
Mr, H. F. Gillean, of the Bradstreet
agency, this city, the other. Mr. Gillean
lost $25 and Mr. Maples about $15 and
some receipts. This occurred on the Missouri
Pacific southbound train, just as it was
about to pull out from the depot.
Death of Fanny Ellsler.
N. O. Times Democrat.
Fanny Ellsler, the famous danseuse, who
forty years ago electrified the people of this
country and of the European states with
her unequaled exemplification of the poetry of
motion, has recently deceased at her resiience,
near Vienna. She had reached extreme
old age, and had accumulated a large
fortune, which she had invested in a splendid
country seat, where she dispensed a
generous hospitality and a large charity.
It was in 1841 wken Fanny Ellsler made her
first appearance as priemiere danseuse in
tins city. She was then in the full bloom of
her beauty, grace, and her incomparable art.
Her debut was at the old San Carlos, Mr.
Caldwell’s magnificent dramatic and art tempie.
With the single exception of Jenny
Lind’s ovation in this city, ten years afterward,
no other event in the history of the
drama in this cij:y ever produced so general
and lively a sensation as Fanny Ellsler’s
debut. Five thousand tickets were sold, and
this grand old temple cculd seat that nurabir
of spectators. So great was the pressure of
the vast crowd around the doors that a large
number of those holding parquette tickets
were forced into the pit, trampling down
the tailing and the doorkeepers. The whole
community was captivated bj^ Fanny’s exquisite
art and rare beauty. In her execution
of the dances, vvhich she first introduced,
and to which she gave a popularity which is
maintained to this day, the varsovienne, the
cadenca, the mazurka, she never was equaled.
Tne furore she had excited in this city followed
her in her tour through this country.
She returned to Europe with $200,000 of
profit. She was then a woman of forty, of
striking and handsome features, but by no
means of feminine beauty and delicacy. Her
triumphs were due rather to her art and
natural grace and marvelous physical vigor
and agility.
Walker Blaine’s Cheek.
Washington Special.'
Walker Blaine, is really a candidate for
the vacant judgeship of the court of Alabama
claims, although it is a plact requiring
a large knoweledge of the marine law, and
he never had any practice save his position
as assistant attorney before this court, where
his career has been far from brilliant.
The judgeship is worth $6,000 a year. The
president has intimated that he will make
the appointment if Mr. Blaine personally requests.
The historian has been known to
declare within three months that he would
not enter the portals of the White House
again during the Arthur aministration.
Paternal affection may yet prevail over
wounded pride.
