By Wire to Th Tklbgbam. Columbu9, O., Jan. 12. All doubt as to who would be the United States Senator from Ohio was settled on joint ballot, of the two houses at noon today. Marcus A. Hanna received the seventy-three votes requisite to a choice and was formally declared elected. This ends one of the closest and most exciting Senatorial contests in the history of Ohio. KURTZ MANIFESTO. Columbus, Jan. 12 Kurtz said this morning that Hanna's supporters woud be sadly surprised when. the leg islature met in joint session at noon today. Certain men, he declared, who voted for Hanna yesterday will not do so today. He declared that Hanna would not be elected. Major Dick, Han na's right hand man, laughs at Kurtz's statement. He says Hanna will receive every vote he got yesterday and per haps one more. The weak-kneed Han na men are still kept in seclusion. It is understood that Hanna's agents who have them in charge will not bring them to the state house until the last passible moment. BEFORE THE BALLOTING. Columbus, Jan. 12. The legislative halls were crowded early today. The Hanna workers were up all night and showed the terrific strain to which they have been subjected. Their opponents spent the night getting out of bed and staying near the others. There were several 'collisions in the hotels between opposing workers and watchmen. Before breakfast this morn ing the democratic steering committee decided upon Jeptha Gerrard, of Cin cinnati, as a new fusion candidate for United States senator. This selection was made with a view to securing the votes of funionistmem bers from the Hamilton county dele gation. CHOKED BY CHICKEN. Mr. Flncher, of Waxhaw, Has an Op eration Performed. . James Fincher, a Union county far mer from the Waxhaw settlement, came to Charlotte yesterday for medical treatment. While eating Sunday dinner a piece of the breast of a chicken lodged in the oesophagus and for several hours he was in a critical condition. He was temporarily relieved by some simple remedies, but the chunk of chicken would not "down." As soon as possible he came to Char lotte and - consulted a physician. By means of a rubber tube, the obstruc tion was removed and Mr. Fincher re turned home as happy a man as one can find in a day's journey. When Mr. Fincher arrived in Char lotte he had not been able to swallow a draught of water for 48 hours. Be sides this the choking sensation at times was alarming. Charlotte News.

Col. Avirett has further given no' tice of his refusal to discuss the ques tion of his fees for professional ser vices with Messrs. Smith and Lusk, the committee appointed by the North Carolina Railroad to discuss this sut ject with him. He has withdrawn his account from their consideration, and declined to enter into any controversy over the subject of tho value of his services, further than the fact that the amount of cash returned to the North Carolina Railroad was $1,250, and that the amount of his bill, which he declined to make the subject matter of the controversy with the North Caro lina Railroad, was $2,000. Col. Avirett declined, when inter viewed, to make any statement beyond that he simply waited the formal con sent of Judge Simon ton to strike the appearance heretofore entered by him, and thus finally end his entire connec tion with this celebrated suit. Hi 9 relations with his late clients he declines to discuss, unless forced to do so by the court. In the interview at which he returned his fees and disbursements occurred at the Capitol late yesterday evening, and the parties present were the Gov-' ernor and Col.
