,GRAY’S SEAT VACANT FOR TWO YEARS
Exciting Scenes at the Closing Ses-
'sion—Tlsree Democrats Bolted
Amid HisSes—Addicks Locked
Five Votes of an Election.
DOVER, Del., March 14.-—After one oi
“the most exciting scenes that has ever
been. witnessed in the general assembly
of this state the session of 1899 ended
at 3:08 o’clock yesterday afternoon with-
out electing a United States senator to
succeed Hon. George Gray. It is the
first time in the history of the state
that there is an unquestioned senato-
rial vacancy, and, owing to the estab-
lished precedent of the upper house oi
congress in refusing to seat guberna-
torial appointees after the legislature oi
a state has had an opportunity to elect,
the seat of Mr. Gray will remain vacant
until the general assembly of 1901 shall
choose his successor. At the same time
the term of Senator Richard R. Kin-
ney will also expire, and it will there-
fore devolve upon the next legislature
to elect two senators. .
The final ballot, the fourteenth of the
day and .the one hundred and thirteenth
during the session, was as follows:
John Edward Addicks (Union Rep.), 21;
Colonel Henry A. Dupont (Rep), 9;
John Biggs (Dem.), 6; err-Congressman
L. Irving Handy. (Dem), 5; ex—Senator
George Gray (Dem.), 4: Willard Sauls-
bury (Dem.), 3, and ex—Senator Anthony
Higgins (Rep), 2.
The time decided upon for adjourn-
ment sine die was 3 p. m., and when the
fourteenth ballot was completed it lack-
ed 18 minutes of that hour by the house
clock. The clock was Six minutes slow.
The Democrats then adopted filibuster-
ing tactics in earnest, although they

Connecticut Schoolteacher Attegnnpt~
Suicide, but Mny‘Live. ‘
NEW HAVEN, March 14.—-As the
outcome of alleged persecution, 01
which, it is stated, a well known citi-
'zen of Hamden was the instigator, Miss
Maud Hauff of this city, who has been
teaching a district school in Hamden
since last fall, is in a critical condition
from an attempt at suicide. The per-
secution, it is said, has been going on
for the past two months, and Thursday
last she learned that charges aspersing
her character were made to the school
committee. This '50 harassed her that
Saturday she became insane, and it was
necessary to put a guard over her, and
she was locked in her room in Ham-
den. ‘
Sunday night Miss Hauff eluded her
Watchers, and, clad only scantily, start-
ed for the mill pond to drown herself.
After a long quest she was found not
far from the pond lying unconscious in
a. snowbank. She had stumbled over a
stone wall in the dark, and the fall had
rendered her unconscious. Though in
a precarious condition. her reason has
been restored, which the doctor in at-
tendance ascribes to her involuntary
snow bath. The town is considerably
worked up over the affair, and it is
probable that action will be brought
against those who are considered he!

prolonged the balloting during the aft-'

the houses separate, and upon which
motions yea and nay votes were always
”necessary.
The final session was productive oi
surprises, intense excitement and all
other elements that go to make up a
gathering of such importance. The sur-
prises were the action of Senator E. H.
F. Farlow and Representatives 'J. B.
(Clark and W. F. King, Democrats, in
going. over to Addicks. Farlow and
King, who were looked upon as stead-
fast Democrats, bolte‘d on the first bal-
Iot, and Clark followed on the next one.
Pressure ~was brought to bear by ex-
C'ongressman Handy and other leading
'Demoerats upon‘the three bolters, but
they were obdurat‘e and would not “re-
turn to the fold." This made Addicks'
vote 21, or fiVe shert of an election, the
joint convention being composed of 50
members. These Democrats were hissed
by the spectators every time they voted
for Addicks, but the protest had no et—
tect upon them. I
