FORT WORTH, Texas, has been celebrat­ ing {he tenth anniversary of the advent of railroads, when the city had less than one thousand population. There are now eight roads, and it is claimed that the citizens number thirty thousand. A BITTER feeling is said to prevail at At­ lanta, Ga., owing to the strict enforcement of the prohibition law. The young men of the city have organized an anti-prohibition secret society I». W.. Chase, Sheriff of ' Concordia Parish, Louisiana, is a defaulter for $£7,000. HOWARD HIKES, aged 14, said while picking blackberries near Louisville, Ky., that he intended to kill some one. Then turning suddenly on Samuel Dean, an 11- year-old companion, he shot him dead. The young murderer went to the city and Rave himself up, saying that th« shooting was accidental. RECENTLY, near Morgan City, La., Lo­ renzo Randall (colored) was killed by a white man named Mills. A posse went to arrest the murderer, but the latter, aided by his father-in-law, opened fire on the Sheriff's men, killing one and wounding two others. Another posse was also warm­ ly received, one of them being shot through the heart. The Mills faction, re-enforced by half-breed Indians, have taken to the swamps, and a prolonged warfare is ex- WASHITVQTOX. TltfitKR is some talk in Washington about Congress being adjourned by President Cleveland. The power of the Executive to adjourn both houses of Congress has never been exercised, and many men in public life have forgotten or are unaware of its existence. Among the powers of the Presi­ dent specified in article 2, section 3, of the Constitution, is the following: "And in case of disagreement between them with respect to the time of adjournment, he may adjourn them to such time a6 he shall think proper." IT is reported that of the $4,000,000 bonds embraced in the 139th call $3,097,- 750 are held by the national banks against circulation. On a AO per cent, basis this would give a shrinkage of about $-2,788,- 000 in the circulation if none of the bonds be replaced by the purchase ">f others. It is understood that the . .tanks are not willing to effect such re­ placement, as they think the risk incurred m buying the high-priced bonds is greater than the profit on circulation....

He was 81 years 4|j and had served continuously in the Department for fifty-one years, hav- ?en appointed by President Jackson. Conway; Associate Justice of the Supremo Court, O, D. Scott, of Miller; Land Commissioner, A. W. Stone of Garland; Superintendent of Public Instruction, A, H. Boles of Franklin. Ex-Governor Clayton was conspicuous on the floor. Threats to depose him from the leadership for carrying the Arkansas delegates to Blaine in 1884 proved vain. A platform j was adopted which demands the mainte : nance of the protective tariff; opposes the President's policy qf vetoing pension bills; insists that the .public domain «hall be reserved to actual settlers; de­ nounces the Democratic party in Arkansas for permitting conviot labor to compete with honest labor; for failing to pnnish embezzlement in high places, alluding especially to the State Treasury defalcation; for failing to enact proper laws to protect laborers; asks for the repeal of the law enabling convict labor to compete with honest labor, and that con­ victs be worked within penitentiary walls; favors a railroad commission; declares that the free schools be maintained; and de­ nounces the House of Representatives for refusing to pass the Blair bill.... The * Vermont Democratic conven­ tion met at Montpelier, ,the attend­ ance being unprecedeutedly large. P. B. Shurtleff, of Montpelier, and P. M.

Rider, of Bristol, for Secretary of State, and J. .V. Wilder, of Windsor, for Auditor--all unanimously. The platform expresses satisfaction with the President's administration; favors such revision of the tariff that taxation shall not •exceed the needs of Government; de­ mands protection for the diiry in­ terests of the State; declares in favor of a railway commission; new legislation regulating the liquor traffic; for arbitration between capital and labor; system of weekly payments; denounces the Republicans for insincerity on liquor, and closes with a eulogistic reference to Gladstone and Par- nell....

Six men, members of the Executive Board of the local lodge of the Knights of Labor, have been arrested at Wyandotte, Kan., charged with wrecking a train on the morning of April 26, and causing the death of two persons. The affair has caused great excitement among* the Knights at Kansas City. THE Iowa miners met at Davenport, and at a secret session, it is said, voted to de­ mand an increase of one-half cent a bushel on and after September 1.... The Master Painters' Convention at Philadelphia changed the name of the organization to the Master House Painters of the United States. A number of changes were also made in the constitution. President Titus Berger, of Pittsburg, and Vice-President Jesse Cornelius, of St. Louis, were re­ elected. J. G. McCartev, of Chicago, was chosen Secretary, and Maurice Joy, of Philadelphia, Treasurer. THE RAILWAYS. THERE is little doubt that the Erie Road is about to lease the Chicago and Atlantic, in accordance with the purpose of its con­ struction, and guarantee interest on its first- mortgage bonds The Illinois Central has decided to build an air line between Chicago and Freeport, 111., and is consider­ ing an extension nprth of ,that town to the Lake Superior regions .Howard * City (Mich.) special: "A large force of work­ men has been transported from near Lake View to the cut on the north side of the creek at this place. This is the last of the grading on the extension of the railroad from Lake View to Howard City, giving a new rail route from Grand Rapids to the Saginaws,* via the Grand Rapids and Indi­ ana, the Detroit, Lansing and Northern, and Saginaw Valley and St. Louis Rail­ roads. The distance is shortened to 117 miles." A DISPATCH from Beatrice, Neb., says "it is now assured that the Northwestern branch of the Rock Island from St. Joseph will be built this fall. It is the intention that trains 6hall be ranning |to Hebron, the county seat of Thayer, by Jan. 1, if the proposition for aid now pending shall carry." GENERAL. IT is stated that the Panama Canal scheme has practically collapsed. The effort to effect an additional loan has not only been unsuccessful, but has brought out the fact that $20,000,000 of the old loan still remains untaken. Predictions of the result are in order, but they can scarcely fail to include a rough shaking up of the money market in France, which may be very disastrous. The loss of so much money as has already been sunk in the "enterprise," with general dullness existing in trade, and a partial failure of the wheat crop, which will render it neces­ sary to import some 90,000,000 bushels from foreign countries, may well be regard­ ed as constituting a real calamity to the French people... .The revolutionary move­ ment in the State of Tamaulipas, Mexico, is reported ster-dily increasing. Despera­ does on both sides of the Rio Grande are flocking to the insurgents' support, and rancheros and stockmen are driving their cattle into Texas. Serious trouble is im­ minent. THE Boston Journal of Commerce is re­ sponsible for the statement that a firm in Chicago is building a machine that is ex- ected to roll out a chain from a solid iron ar without the necessity of welding a sin­ gle link. The bar is to'be passed through a set of four rollers which Bqueeze it into a series of links forming a perfect chain. The principle is in some respects the same as that already employed in obtaining a chain by casting, but with a great advantage over the product of that process in point of tenacity....

The indications are that part of the price offered for Irish support will be an Irish land bill acceptable to the National­ ists. Mr. Purnell has already stated that the landlords of Ireland will never again have *noh terms as Gladstone offered them, and the Nar. tionalists wore tv illinfr at the time to indorse. It is difficult, therefore, to see what induce* ments the Tories can offer the Nationalists in connection with land purchase that will not at the same time rend their own party in twain and alienate tho Ijiberiil-Unionists. Difficult as the task will be. there is good reason to sup­ pose that such a bill is to bo prepared, and thai the Irish will have the choice of rejecting it and remainins in opposition, or accepting it and keeping the Tories in office agninst all comer«.

HOAB'B resolution for an investigation of the election of Mr. Payne was defeated in the Senate on July 23, the vote standing yean 17, nays 44. In discussing the Payne case, Mr. Hawley (Conn.) argued in favor of an investiga­ tion. He said the demand for it was not a mat­ ter of rumors or of newspapers, but it was a great outcry from an octruged people, if there were any truth whatjver in these declarations from the Legislature and from the Demo­ cratic papers. He certainly could not see how, in justice and dealing with the question on broad considerations, the Senate could refuse to order an investigation. Senator Evarts (New Yorki closed the debate in an argu­ ment against further investigation. It wus no: to be (Ji lbted, he said, that th) henate was master o." the question presentjd, and was un­ der no 1.1 v or restraint, except that imposed by the Constitution. But, by the same reasons, the scope and boundary of the Semite's mastery and duty were limited aud fixed by the same firm instructions of the Constitution. The Senate had no power and no right to investigate the conduct of on" political party at the request of another. It had no power to investigate the dis­ cords of a party at the requt st or invitation of a faction of that party. It had no power to meas­ ure, to estimate, any right or wrong that did not touch theextjnt and authority and scope and re­ sult tliat was measured to it by the Constitu­ tion. While the Henate. continued Senator Ev­ arts. should have great deference lor a great State of 3,000,000 of people, no constitutional distinction could be drawn between such a State and one the size Of Rhode Inland or Delaware. He then quoted Senator Payne's letter to the Chairman of the Ohio Legislative Committee, inviting and challenging the most thorough and rigid scrutiny, and offer­ ing for inspection his private correspond­ ence snd books cf accounts, and Chairman Cowgill's reply that if there was any testi­ mony, tending to inculpate liini (Payne) in any degree with any questionable transac­ tion his request would be acceded to. ^ould any person, he asked, reMuire a more early, a more prompt, a moro universal proposition from the Senator? The fact that the Ohio Legislative Committee did not call on Mr. Payne was a proof that it did not consider there was anything before it which re­ quired his examination. It was clear that from one end of Ohio to the other, in all the agitation of the subject, no imputa­ tion had touched the Senator. He was ri^lit. then, in saying that the Senate must discard that view of the matter from its consideration. The oleomargarine bill, as amended by the Senate, passed the House of Representatives by 174 > eas to ti-5 nays. THE MARKETS. A FOUL DEED.

Thomas Dougan just 200 years ago, says nn Albany (N. Y.) dispatoh of July 23. The aproar that broke loose at midnight when the bells announced the arrival of the an­ niversary oontinued until daylight. Men, boys, and even women went up and down the principal streets eblowing horns and singing until morning came. l£en and boys organized themselves into marching bands and went from one part of the city to another, blowing two or three horns to­ gether and stopping before hotels and pri­ vate residences and giving impromptu sere­ nades. Small cannon kept up their salutes and bonfires lighted up the principal streets, and the red-lire's glow was reflected from the skies above until it paled in the gray of approaching morn. All the noise and en­ thusiasm that Albany may have pent up within herself for the last two centuries seemed to have suddenly fonnd vent. Thousands of persons remained np through the night, and the uproar was continued until dawn. President Cleveland, Secre­ taries Bayard and Whitney, and Private Secretary Lamont arrived on a special train soon after 6 a. m., and were met at the West Shore Depot by Mayor Thacher, ex-Major Banks, and other notables; the Burgess Corps, headed by the Platt6burg Band, and aboat six hundred other citizens. The Presidential party entered carnages at once, and were escorted to the Governor's mansion. Just before they left the depot President Cleveland was warmly greeted by an old farmer from Delaware County, who broke through the line and clasped the President's hand before any one could stop him. "Well, this is Grover!" he exclaimed. "Yes, sir," answered the President, smil­ ing pleasantly. After breakfast President Cleveland called on Secretary Manning. The chief event of the day was a military procession in which the local militia bodies, the Seventh Eegiment of New York, with Cappa's band, nnd many other Stale milita­ ry organizations. Grand Army and other veteran organizations, the Rose Guards of Philadelphia, Mayor Thacher, and other city officials, members of the Legislature, Governor Hill and staff, and President Cleveland and members of his Cabinet had places. The procession was formed in four divisions. The President rode in the fonrth division in an open carriage with Secretary Whitney. He held his hat in his hand while he bowed acknowledgments to the rounds of cheers that accompanied his progress. The Governor's staff followed, and behind them rode the Governor in a carriage. After the procession Gov. Hill delivered an historical oration at the Clark street rink. When he had concluded his speech, and the applause had subsided, Mayor Thacher attempted to announce the next thing on the programme, but his voice was drowned by cries of "Cleveland!" "Cleve­ land!** The President arose, bowed, and sat down again on the platform, beside the Governor. This did not satisfy the audience, and the calls were renewed with vigor. Finally, Mr, Cleveland arose, and, advancing to ^h«y the platform, Citizens of Albany: I came here to-day as an invited guest to a family reunion. I desire to be modest and not mingle too freely in congrat­ ulations and celebrations which belong more properly to you. I <lo not wish to sound a single note of discord, but I have heard so much of the Dutch, of this beiug a Dutch city, so much talk of the olden time and of its customs, that when I remember that I dwelt two years among you I wonder whether I am in the right place or not At the risk of creating discordance, I will say thatiu my time Dutch was not the language of the town. The people Bpoke English, and to me words in English of kindness that I will never forget. I am flad, however, you have got your charter. When lived here it was, I think, under a charter, but, according to my remembrance, it was a charter passed by the Legislature of the State in the first year I spent here, and approved by me. I must not detain you longer; but I cannot refrain from expressing to you my appreciation of the kind­ ness with which you have received me. and from repeating the homely and old-fashioned wish, may the citizens of Albany and their de­ scendants see many happy returns of the day. The President spoke in clear, ringing tones that were audible in eveiy portion of the large building, and his brief remarks were received with enthusiastic applause. When he sat down the audience called upon Secretary Bayard for a speech, and he said: LAOIES AND GENTLEMEN, CITIZENS ,OF ALBA­ NY--I thank you most profoundly for your kind- ness in thus recognizing my presence among you. I came here as a friend and companion of one whom it is my honor and pleasure to assist in the administration of our public affairs. It is my further x>leasure, as an American citizen, to take part in the celebration of honorable American traditions that so frequently take place in all parts of our country, and I rejoice to seo them so worthily celebrated. I have my­ self something in my traditional .ancestry of the blood of the Dutch, and I thank you for an opportunity of saying so. Secretary Whitney was next called for, and said: X will occupy but a moment of your time, ladies and gentlemen, in taking this opportunity of exi ressing to you that common sentiment of every one inspired by such a beautiful day, by such a gathering of people, and by the interest­ ing exercises at which you have been present for several hours. It is an additional pleasure to have an opportunity of thanking you for the courtesy JOJ have shown us and of saving I will bear away grateful recollections of the re­ ception we have received this afternoon. Noth­ ing more than this expression, I am sure, Is called for from mo. The music was rendered by an orchestra of fifty pieces and chorus of one hundred male voices. The exercises concluded with the singing of "America" by the chorus and audience. At the conclusion of the exercises the President, SecretariesJVhitney and Bay­ ard, and others droveIto Secretary Man­ ning's residence, where they remained about an hour. They then drove to the Governor's residence, where, together with Mr. Manning, Francis Kernan, Lieut. Gov. Jones, Rufus W. Peckham, Col. Lamont, and others, they dined with the Governor. After the dinner the President held a public reception in the Senate chamber of the Capitol, and later attended a private re­ ception at Fort Orange Club. Later the Presidential party left for Washington. While the President was receiving the pub­ lic in the Senate chamber a man with a swarthy face, short, black sid$ whiskers and black mustache, and shabbily dressed in a well-worn suit of light clothes, was noticed hovering about the President. Finally he stealthily crept up behind him. The police had been noticing his move­ ments and arrested him. When the atten­ tion of the President and those who accompanied him was drawn to the man, they remembered that he had been hovering about the - President all the afternoon. The man protested against being arrested, but was led off to the station house. There he was searched, but no weapons were found on him. He said his name was Nathan Schuler, that he was 28 years old, and that he lived in Kingston, N. Y. He was a peddler by oc­ cupation, he said, and had been selling medals, bananas, and other articles in Albany during the bi.centennial celebra­ tion. When asked, why he had followed the President about he said that when Cleveland was a candidate for President he spoke in various towns and cities through­ out the State for him, and thinking that he deserved a political position had been patching for an opportunity to speak to him. The police decided to lock toe man, up until the President was out of Albany. Brutal Murder of an Old Farmer m y ^anAHls Wii« Near ••Ml®.

The boy thought he had fallen in a fit, as he was subject to such spells. He immediately ran to the house, some forty rods distant, to inform the old la^y. He called, but received no reply. He opened the stairway door and called, but received no answer, He then looked in the dining-room, and saw her dead body lying on *he floor. He informed one of the neighbors, and Dr. Henry Palmer and Marshal Hogan were soon at the scene of the tragedy. On examination of the body of Mr. Search it was found that he had been shot in the back of the neck. A 3'2-ealiber btill was found at the base of the brain. Mrs. Search was evidently shot with the same revolver, the ball entering just under the right eye and passing through the head. Both shots must have produced almost instant death. Mr. Search was quite well- to-do, and it was generally known that he kept his money in the house. The object of the murderer was evidently money. The bureau drawers wt re ransacked and money taken, but how much cannot, be determined. They failed to find $475 in gold. Suspi­ cion rests upon a farm-hand named Ed­ ward W. Moore, who has been employed by farmers in the Bame neighborhood, and who suddenly disappeared, going to Chica­ go. Moore was paid off Friday. He bnught a revolver two weeks ago of the same-size ball as those used in the murder. A supplemental crop statement issued by the Agricultural Department at Wash- ington says that the increase in the corn area in seven years has been about 20 per cent., and the present area is about 75,000,- 000 acres. The increase is rapid in the more recently settled Western States. They i Settles find the demand for wheat fixed BEECHER IN LONDON. The First of His Series of Lectures a De« cideil Success--His Reference* to C4D- servatism Loudly Applauded. [Cable dispatch from London. | Twenty-lhree years ago Mr. Beecher spoke at Exeter Hall. There was a lively time, because he preached anti-slavery to an unsympathetic audience. Richard Cob- den shook him by the hand when it was over, and said that no man had ever been able to cow and subdue an English audi­ ence as Beecher had done. Thomas Scott presided at that meeting, a brown-bearded man of 45. To-night the same Thomas Scott, now City C'h»mberlain of London and a white- bearded man nearly 70, presided in the same hall. There was no lack of sympathy in the audience that greeted Mr. Beecher this time, except in 6o far as some excep­ tion was taken by some white-neck-clothed gentlemen to his unorthodox characteriza­ tion of some generally accepted religous beliefs. There was some little exception, of a political character, which was drowned by thunders of applause, when he intimated that t^ie Conservatives were marked by "dull, watery, and sluggish brains, but that God never made them to be the fathers of progress." He went on: "They were very useful as crags on the way down-hill, but they have never been known to draw any­ thing up hill." It may have been an audience of Liberal sympathies. At any rate it applauded every reference he made to the progress that the United States had made under a liberal democratic form of government, particularly when he said: "The common schools and the church are the stomach of America; and when a man goes in there, whether he be a Dutchman or an Irishman, he is bound to come out an American. You are educating society from the top, we are educating it from the bottom. We are not departing from democratic government. We are endeavoring to educate 60,00(1,000 of men in the wav of conducting a govern­ ment." More than 3,000 people paid to hear Mr. Beecher, among them being several hun­ dred clergymen. On the platform, among others, were Canon Farrar, the llevs. Simon, Parker, Gidding, and Haweis. be­ sides a large American contingent. Hun­ dreds crowded around after the lecture to shake hands with Mr. Beecher and tell him that they had heard him twenty-three years ago. The first English lecture of Beechsr was unquestionably a big success. DESPERATE OUTLAWS. They Cross from Texas to Mexico and Do Bloodjr WV>rk--A Viglit with Mexican In­ surgents Reported. [Santa Maria (Tex.) dispatch.] Parties from the other side of the Rio Grande report that a gang of outlaws from this side, under Gen. Antonio Milstead, entered the Pelades the night before last, assaulted some wc;>;en, and robbed the citizens of their l-orses and arms. They also report that six prisoners were cap­ tured yesterday by the Government troops, and three werd hung this morniug. Several peaceable ranchers from Mex­ ico have crossed over the river to this side with their horses and arms. Sheriff Brito and party returned to-day from above. The large drove of horses gathered by the bandits on the other side, and which was intended to be taken across the river last night, had been turiu d loose by the thieves. A private dispatch received at New La­ redo to-day reports that a fight occurred at Matmoras, Mexico, yesterday, and that great excitement prevails there. Five hundrect more troops are expected to arrive at New Laredo to-morrow, and the troops now there are daily expected to be ordered down the river. A rumor it in circulation that a general pronouncement will take place throughout the State of Tamaulipas to­ morrow. STARTING TO DEATH. Terrible Suffering Among the Peopto of Labrador and Newfoundland. [St. Johns (N. F.) telegram, j A terrible state of want exists among the people all along the northern coast of this island and in Labrador. For 300 miles off from the coast the ice is firm, and its pres­ ence keeps the temperature constantly at the freezing point. From Cape Bauld, Newfoundland, to Cape Mugford, on the Labrador coast, there is one solid barrier of ice. No fishing has been possible. The fish-oil works are all idle, and the stored oil is being used for fuel. A large number of starving fishermen from Indian Harbor and Sandwich Bay have just arrived to implore food from the Government, and assistance for friends left behind. Two of the men died here last night shortly after their arrival. They had a terrible time getting here, having crossed the strait on floating ice. With September the winter sets in, and the frost will not then be out of the ground from last winter. On account of the late­ ness of the season no crops have been planted, and for several weeks the unfortu­ nate people have been * living off nf tfceitf domestic animals. and little variable, except (hat the world's supply affects the demand everywhere, while the demand for corn is elastic, and may be doubled with prices sufficiently low. Wheat is the sport of speculator}, while corn has seldom been cornered. • 1° ' Of spring wheat the report says: The condition of Spring wheat has declined from 93.5 in June to 83.3, in consequence of high temperature, drying winds, and want of rain. Last year the average condition WRS 9U in July, and in consequence of hiyh temperature at a critical period, fell to 86 at the time of harvest­ ing. The apparent depreciation Iu June is 15 points, but it would be a serious error to apply that reduction to the 145,000,000 bushels of spring wheat harvested, which represented a condition of 86 at harvesting--only 3 points above the present condition. Should there be no further reduction th© present condition should insure about 139,003,0)0 bushels. The loss of vitality so early in the season exposes the crop to further injuries by the heats of July and August, and renders it highly probable that the average con­ dition at harvest may be still lower. With favor­ able weather in July and August increased con­ dition may be maintained, though the chances are confessedly against it. Making allowance for this probability, a judi­ cious and reasonable interpretation of the July report of winter and spring wheat would show a prospect for an increaso of about 80,000,000 bushels above the official estimate for 1885. The threshing of winter wheat and the meteorologi­ cal conditions of the next two months may easily add 10,000,000 to these figures, or subtract quite as large an amount. The winter-wheat area already assures nearly enough for home consumption and seed. The average exportation of wheat and flour for the last five years has been 116,000,000 bushels. The present expectation favors a product nearly suf­ ficient for this rate of exportation, in addition to consumption. The exports of the last year are some million bushels less than this average. The surplus will probably be ample, therefore, for any fpreign demand likely to arise. The distribution of the last year is as follows:, Estimated consumption, food, 271,003.000; seed, 51,474,900. Exports from preliminary state­ ment, 93,5%,020. Total, 416,071,520. Crop of 1885, 357.112,0'JO. Drawn from crop of 1884,58,- 959,520. The visible supply has been decreased during the year about 13,000,000 bushels, leaving about 46,000.000 bushels to come from the sur­ plus in the hands of the farmers. The condition of oats is lower than in any former July report since 1879, when the yield averaged '25 bushels per acre. The present con­ dition is 88.8 against 87 in Julv of that vear. The average of rye is 9.<6 against 87 last year. The condition of barley averages M.7 against 92 last July and 98 in Julv of the previ­ ous year. SEVEN MEN KILLED. D lastrous Result* of a Collision on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. Seven Persons Instantly Killed--Har­ rowing Seenes Around the Wreck. [Nashville (Tenn.) special.] A fcpecial en]£ine coming north collided with the regular train on the Louisville and Nashville Hailroad near Duck River, forty- eight miles south of Nashvill e, and seven men were instantly killed. The collision occurred in a deep cut with a sharp curve, making it impossible to see each other. Both engines are a total wreck. The fol­ lowing is a list of the killed: Henry Lau-' man, engiueer of the accommodation train; Kobert Brown, fireman of the accommoda­ tion train; Thad Beech, engineer of engine No. 519; Pat King, fireman of engine No. 519; Monroe Wilson, baggagemaster; A. P. . Robertson, of Louisville, Ky., a passenger agent, formerly a ticket agent of the Louisville Nashville Road at Nash­ ville; Henry Whittemer. There were only two passengers injured. The sight is most horrible, the bodies being torn to pieces and scalded by the escaping steam. As soon as the terrible news reached Columbia every available conveyance that could be secured was en route to the accident. There were between fifteen and twenty pas­ sengers in the ladies' coach, who were unin­ jured. ^Engine 519 exploded, throwing the tender 150 feet. Robertson Was instantly killed, being disemboweled by a piece of iron. Ilenry Whittemer was fonnd with a flag in his hand, wedged between tbe locomotive and the side of the cut. The train was running at a speed of forty miles an hour at the time of the collision. Fatal Railway Disaster in Connecticut. [Bridgeport (Ct.) dispatch,] The Boston express on the New'^Httjren road, which left New York at 11 a. m., (col­ lided to-day with a gravel train on which a large number of Italian laborers were rid­ ing. There is but one track at the place where the accident occurred. The gravel train had the right of way, and the signed was set accordingly. The engineer of the express failed to observe the signal. Ephraim Playback, engineer of the express, jumped to the ground and received serious injuries. The firemnn also jumped, but escaped injury. Two Italians, one named Michael Ross,' were killed and six were se­ riously hurt. One had his skull crushed in, and it is thought he will die. All were more or less hurt internally. Slayback was arrested on a charge of manslaughter. PUBLIC PRINTER ROUNDS. M ,4h ' • M M: He Pays S100,000 for an Omaha News­ paper, and Will Satire from Official Life. [Omaha (Neb.) special.] S. P. Rounds, of Chicago, Public Printer at Washington, who has been in the Ay several days negotiating "or the purchase of the Omaha Daily Republican news­ paper and job-printing establishment, closed the contract for the purchase to-day, the price to be paid being $100,0110 cash. Rounds will take possession in October. The cditor-in-chief is to be O. H. Roth- acker, his son-in-law, formerly ed tor of the Denver Tribune, but now editing the Washington Hatchet. Rounds will prob­ ably resign the office of Public Printer in a few days. QUEER PETS. A Pennsylvania Man and His Tame Rat- tlesnakes. [Susquehanna (Pa.) telegram.] Elijah Pelton, of Hawley, has captured alive, this year, nearly two hundred rattle­ snakes, which he keeps in an immense cage. He captured them early in the spring, when they were leaving their dens for the season, and when, it is claimed, they are most deadly. Pelton declares that the fangs still re­ main in every one of the snakes, yet he goes in among them and handles them with impunity. The din made by their rattles when he enters the cage is almost deafen­ ing. Home of the snakes are of enormous size. Their owner has refused an offer of $300 for the collection. NATIONAL LAW-MAKERS.

Tho House of Representatives, in con­ sidering the fortification appropriation bilL re- jeefcea an tuiiendmoiit to increase the item lor •ea-coast armament to $3,500,000. THE oleomargarine bill the subject of a long and warm discussion in the Senate on July 19, Messrs. Miller, EdmundB, and Van Wyck ad­ vocating, and Messrs. Vanes, Vest, and Ingalls opposing the measure. In the course of the de­ bate Mr. Ingalls replied to some remarks by Mr. Miller, saying that his (Miller'aV humor was very much like the attempt of a hippopotamus to dance on a slack rope. [Laughter.] The Senator from New York had seen fit to present him (Ingalls) as a country ped­ dler, dealing in bogus jewelry and "elix- irs of life." In reply he wished to say that he had never stood before the Senate ad­ vocating a measure in which he had the strong­ est personal interest--as the Senator from New York had done. That Senator was iu the dairy business, He had a dairy farm and a herd of dairy cattle, putting its produce on the market as the product of Oak Hill or Oak Leaf cream­ ery. And he used the whole.power of his official station as Senator and as chairman of a com­ mittee to get the measure away from the com­ mittee to which it belonged and referred to his own committee, and he stood on the floor of the Senate day after day advocating a measure which was to increase direct­ ly the profits of his own product. A more shameful spectacle had never been pre­ sented to the American people than had been presented in regard to this measure. In the other house it had been under the leadership of the chairman of a committee who was himself engaged in the dairy business ; and in this body that gentleman was reinforced by the Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture (Mr. Miller), who was engaged in the same business, and who was to profit by the legislation. Mr. Miller, apparently laboring under great ex­ citement, rose to reply. He denied having referred to the Senator's ilngall's) calling in early life, and went on to say that whether this bill became a law or not it would not add one farthing to any profit which he could possibly receive. The House of Repre­ sentatives, after adopting au amendment pro­ viding that the guns, projectiles, etc., pur­ chased shall be of American manufacture, passed the fortifications appropriation bill. Mr. Morrison offered a concurrent resolution for the final adjournment of ('engross on Jul v '28, and it was referred U> the Commit tie on Ways and Means. THE oleomargarine bill, with an amendment reducing th6 tax on the product from five to tw6 cents a pound, paSBed the Senate July 2), by a vote of 37 to 21. All those voting for the bill were Republicans except two--Payne, of Ohio, and Cockrell, of Missouri. The twenty-four votes against the measure were all cast by Democratic Senators. Henry P. Henderson, of Michigan, was nominated by the President to be Associate Justice of the "Supreme Court of Utah. The President also nominated these post­ masters: W. H. Bowser, Warsaw, Ind. ; Fred­ erick H. Bates, Klmhurst, 111. ; William H. Looinis, Shawneetown, 111.; Emanuel M. Funk, Manning, Iowa; Isaac D. Toll, Petoskey, Mich-: Otis G. King, Kenosha, Wis. ; William A. Mc­ Allister. Vinton, Iowa. The House of Repre­ sentatives, in committee of the whole, rejected amendments to the river and harbor bill strik­ ing out the Hennepin Canal clause and taking the charge of the Mississippi ltiver improve­ ment out of the hands of the Mississippi River Commission. THE reports in the Payne election case came up in the Senate for consideration on July 20. Senator Pugh, in advocacy of the position taken by himself, Senatois Saulsbury, Vance, and Eustis, contended that there had been no ex­ press belief or suspicion on the part of any member of the committee to the etiect that Mr. Payne was connected in the remotest degree with anything wrong, criminal, or immoral in his election, and that no further investigation of the charges should be made. Senator Hoar presented the views of himself and Senator Frye. He argued that such an investigation was due to Senator Payne, and contended that the charges were made by in­ dividuals and bodies of sufficient weight to compel the Senate to investigate them. Sena­ tor Logan took the floor to reply to the urgu- ment of Senator Hoar and to sustain the views expressed in the report signed by himself and Messrs. Teller and Kvart.s. feenatbr Logan quoted from the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette an article against himself and Seuators Evarts and Teller, speaking of Mr. Evarts as a repre­ sentative of coal oil in the Senate, aud saying that Teller was not worth talking about. Con­ tinuing, he read from another extract a state­ ment that Senator Camden, "whose intimate relations to the Standard Oil Oomi>any are well known," had telegraphed to prominent Demo­ crats that only six more votes were wanted to carry tbe Senate, and that they were prepared to pay $50,00) each for them, aud said: "Isay that any man who will publish such an in­ famous slander aud such a villainous lie as that xtpon honorable members of his own party is unworthy of recognition anywhere." Senator Logan then detailed the course of the Ohio Legislature in electing Senator Payne, and afterward in investigating the charges against its own members. There was not, said the Senator, in the evidence taken be­ fore the committee of the Ohio Legislature one single iota of testimony implicating Mr. Payne, directly or ind irectly. Senator Teller (Col.) next took the floor and said he waB not on trial. He had no defense to make either to the people of Ohio or any other State. The committee had kept steadily and truthfully in the line of the precedents. The ' State of Ohio had made no demand of the Sen­ ate. What had newspaper clamor to do with the question when it came to the American Sen­ ate? He believed the Ohio newspaper con­ vention was called for the purpose of com­ pelling recreant Republicans to forswear themselves and perjure themselves in the in­ terest of political success. In the House Mr. Morrison's concurrent resolution, reported from the Ways and Means Committee, providing for the adjournment of Congress on July '28, after being opposed by Mr. Reagan, Mr. Weaver, Mr. Bayne, Mr. Hepburn, and Mr. Willis. Was passed by a vote of 145 to 33. Then a struggle arose for priority of consideration between the interstate commerce and ;jthe .Northern Pacific forfeiture bills, which wan resolved--yeis 142, nays 9<J--in favor of the former. Tns Payne election ease was the subject of another debate in the Senate on July 22. Sen­ ator Teller said, in regard to the resolutions presented by the Ohio edit jrs aud the extraM from the Democratic papers declaring libf opinion that the election ws nr.cured " --a corruption, that it w«is . . atteir- "T* compel by a convention of po' itors the determination of a politic Senator Sherman said he rose tc most disagreeable duty of his knowu his colleague (Payno) p no had ar. rived at the age of manhood.: hu believe! that, whatever corruption had Occurred in process of the election, no knowledge of s corruption was brought to his colleague, believed also that if the investigation * granted his colleague's honor would be touched by tbe testimony tl would be produced.
