the town of Mason, Neb., which was
recently destroyed by a cyclone, called
upon Governor Boyd to consult
with him in regard to the unfortunate
condition of that town. Forty houses
were destroyed and the school house
demolished. As the school district is
already bonded to the limit prescribed
by law the gentlemen desired to see if
there was not some way by which
funds could be secured to rebuild the
school house. Governor Boyd couid
see no way of assisting them in this
manner and suggested that the people
of Mason appeal to the people of Ne
braska. This will done.

CONGRESSIONAL WORK.
A Ilecord of ihr l-rormtlntr* in tin
Urnntr and Hnn«».
In the senate on the 12th thedlsous
tion of Mr. Quay'* amendment, mak
ing the Sunday closing of the World's
fair at Chicago a condition precedent
for the appropriation of |d.000.000 in
its aid (in the shape of 10,00u000
souvenir half dollars.) was resumed
and was not concluded when the sen
ate adjourned. Mr. Voorhees of In
diana offered a resolution declaring
that all controversies between employ
ers and their employes should be set
tled by compulsory arbitration, and
instructing the committee on educa
tion and labor to inquire into the ex
pediency and propriety of preparing
ana reporting to the senate a bill mak
ing provisions for a commission of la
bor. in accordance with the special
message ana recommendations of i’res
IdenwClevelund. dated April 22. 1886.
Thetpesoiution was, at the request of
Mr. Hale, laid over, as Mr. Hale de
sired to see whether arbitration was
not provided for in the act of October
1. 1888. Mr. lleffer made a personal
explanation. He said that be hud
voted iust Saturday in favor of the
amendment to pay to the widows of
chief justices and justices of the
supreme court a year’s salary of their
husbands, lint hard:/ had the vote
been announced when lie became sat
isfied, in his own mind, that he had
made a mistake; lie now desired to
state so in the presence of the senate
and the country. The house agreed
to the conference report on the Dis
trict of Columbia appropriation bill.
That was all that it accomplished in
the way of legislation with the excep
tion of the passage of a right of way
bill. For the first time this season, a
special order reported and passed at
the instance of the rules committee
went for naught, for when the first
measure on the docket of the commit
tee that was lucky enou^nto get the
rule appeared, being the joint resolu
tion, relative to the election of sena
tors by a popular vote, the republicans
illowed it to be discussed ail day ana
then, by fiilibusterlng, practically de
feated its further progress. The con
ference report on the District of Co
lumbia appropriation bill as agreed
to, appropriates $(J0,000 to meet the
expenses of the Grand Army of the Re
public encampment in Washington—
the appropriation to be paid entirely
out of the revenues of the District of
(VmmViiiL
In the senate on the 13th. without
transacting morning business the sun
dry civil appropriation bill was taken
up. the pending question being Mr.
Quay's Sunday closing amendment to
the section providing lor the issue of
10,000,000 souvenir half dollars in aid
of tho Columbian exposition, speeches
to be limited to live minutes. Mr.
Peffer gave notice of a substitute
for the section appropriating $5,
000,000 on account of an agreement
being entered into for repayment of
the amount within two years. Mr.
Sanders moved to lay Mr. Quay's
amendment on the table—rejected.
Yeas, 11; nays. 45. Mr. Quay’s
amendment was then agreed to with
out a division. Mr. Feller offered an
amendment to add to the section, a
provision prohibiting the sale or the
giving away of intoxicating liquors on
the exposition grounds, except for
medical, mechanical or scientific pur
poses. Mr. Peffer subsequently modi
fied the amendment by making it
apply merely to sale of liquor.
The vote was taken and Mr. Peffer's
anti-liquor amendment was agreed to
—yeas, 28; nays, 26. Mr. Allison
moved an amendment (which was
adopted), limiting the gross expendi
tures for medals, clerical services,
etc., to |50,000. The question was
then taken up and the exposition
amendment was agreed to: Yeas, 51;
nays, 14. The senators voting ••nay”
were: Messrs. Bate, Berry, Black
burn, Blodgett. Butler, Carlisle, Cock
rell, Coke, George, Harris, Irby,
Jones (Ark.). Vest and Walthall. The
only other question that provoked
much discussion on the sundry civil
bili was un amendment in regard to a
site for a government printing office
in Washington. The discussion upon
it was half concluded whan the senate
The senate on the 14th devoted most
of the session to the sundry civil ap
propriation bill and passed it before
adjournment. The vote of Wednesday
in committee of the whole on Mr. Pef
fer's amendment to prohibit the sale
of intoxicating' liquors within the
grounds of the Columbian exposition
was reversed. The vote upon its adop
tion being: Yeas, 21; nays, 29. .Mr.
Vest's substitute for Quay’s Sunday
closing amendment was laid on the ta
ble Dy a vote of 34 to 17. If the pres
ent session had a further prospective
term before it of two months the new
matter introduced in the senate today
in the shape of bills and resolutions
would furnish legislative material to
occupy the time fully. Mr. Jones of
Nevada, from the committee on con
tingent expenses. reported a res
olution for the appointment qf a se
lect committee of seven senators
whose duty it shali be to invest
igate and report the facts in rela
tion to the employment of armed men
known as Pinkerton men. or Pinker
ton detective* in connection with the
recent differences between working,
men and employers, involving blood
shed and loss of life at Homestead. Pa.
In the house. Mr. Andrew of Massa
chusetts. from the committee on for
eign affairs, reported and the house
adopted the McAieir resolution,
requesting the Department of State
to inquire into the circumstances
relating to the imprisonment o' Dr..
Gallagher, an American citizen, in an
English prison, and endeavor to secure
his release. Mr. Herbert of Alabama
presented a disagreeing conference
report on the naval appropriation bill,
and it was agreed to. Mr. Herbert
moved that the house recede from! its
disagreement to the senate amend
" i
oenU, which are etiil in controversy.
I neso are the appropriation of $50,
000 for the navul review and the
authorization for the construction of
>i new battleship. The motion agreed
to and the bill it disposed of as far as
the house it concerned. The confer,
once report on the diplomatic and con
sular appropriation bill was presented
and agroed to.
in the senate on the 15th, most of
the day's session was spent in the dis.
cussion of the fortifications bill—par
ticularly as to the construction of
breech loading rifles and mortars and
us to the selection of a site on the Pa
cific coast for an armory for the fin
ishing and assembling of ordnance.
The bill was finally passed, leaving
only the deficiency bill unacted upon
by the senate, ami notice was given
that that bill would be taken up to
morrow. When the fortification biil
was under consideration, Senator
S juire offered un amendment, appro
priating $1,000,000 for the establish
ment on the Pacific coast of a plant
for finishing and assembling the parts
of heavy guns. He made an earnest
speech in advocacy of the amendment,
but ft was rejected. Mr. Felton offered
an amendment for the appointment
by the president of a board of three
officers of the army and three officers
of the navy to examine and report
which is the most suitable site on the
Pacific coast or on the rivers, or other
waters thereof, for the erection of a
plant for finishing and assembling the
parts of heavy guns ami other
ordnance, and appropriating $2,500
for expenses of the board.
Agreed to. In the house,
the sundry civil bill occupied almost
the entire day. Mr. Holman also re
ported back the sunary civil appro
priation bill with senate amendments
with a recommendation that all the
senate amendments be nonconcurred
in. Mr. Holmun then asked consent
that all the amendments (except those
relating to the World's fair) be non
concurred in and that those (ice
World's fair) amendments be consid
ered in committee of the whole. Mr.
Goodnight of Kentucky objected aud
the house then went into committee of
the whole, Mr. Lester of Georgia in
the chair, for the purpose of consider
ing the senate amendments. All the
amendments except those relating to
the Worid’s fair were read and non
concurred fn. Mr. Holman then asked
consent that general debate on the
Worid’s fair amendments shall pro
ceed today and tomorrow—speeches to
be limited to half an hour—and that a
vote snail be taken at 12 o'clock Tues
day. This was acceded to.
la the senate on tne 16th discussion
of the details ol the deficiency bill—the
last great appropriation bill unacted
upon by that body—occupied the day
and was completed. In the morning
hour Senator Chandler secured the
passage of his resolution authorizing
an investigation into the immigration
and naturalization questions during the
recess. The consideration of the defi
ciency bill and the senate committee
amendments, which include an appro
priation of $987,000 for the payment
of judgments of the court of ciaims in
the French spoliation cases, occupied
the senate until o:oo p. m., when, with
the bill still uncompleted, the senate
went into executive session and ad
journed until Monday. In the house
the listless attention paid by members
to the debate on the resolution giving
the World's fair $o, 000.000 in sover
eign silver and closing the gates on
Sunday, is sufficient evidence that con
gressmen are growing weary of the
session ana are unxious to adjourn.
Not more than 100 members were pres
ent at any time today. The advocates
of the measure under discussion met
with some opposition and it is very
evident now that there is a strong
sentiment against the amendment. It
was opposed today by Mr. Hooker,
democrat Mississippi; Mr. Covert,
democrat. New York; Mr. Bland, dem
ocrat, Missouri; Mr. Wheeler, demo
crat Alabama; Mr. Kyle, democrat,
Mississippi; Mr. Livingsotone, demo
crat. Georgia, and Mr. Moses, demo
crat Georgia. Earnest speeches in
behalf of the proposition were made by
Mr. Hopkins of Illinois, Mr. Chipman
of Michigan, Mr. Atkinson ot Pennsyl
vania. Mr. Dolliver of Iowa. Mr.
Henderson of Iowa, and Mr. Houk of
Ohio. Mr. Moses, farmers’alliance of
Georgia, inveighed against the propo
sition which, he said, was monstrous.
It was downright robbery to take this
money from the pockets of the people
and give it to a private enterprise.
Mr. Bland of Missouri followed in a
similar vein, during which he took oc
casion to make a silver speech. The
very language of the senate amend
mentauthorizingthecoinageof$d, 000.
000 from uncurrent subsidiary silver
coins abraded below the limit of toler
ance, was a delusion and a snare, and
was a trap set to catch the house.

Paris, July 15.—The trial of Mme.
Reymond for the murder of Mme. Del*
aporte Dassimonne is ended and the
prisoner Is acquitted. The jury prac
tically returned a verdict of justifiable
homicide. The prisoner was much af
fected. The crime with which the
prisoner was charged was committed
in this city on May 21 last and was the
result of a liasion between her hue

very sensational affair and the talk of

Washington, July 15.—The Federa

THE CARNEGIE WORKS TO BE
STARTED TO-DAY.
Fire* Are Already Started and Laborer*
at Work—Striker* Suddened by the
Kewi—The Captured Bide* u Subject
of Much later eat.
Homestead, Po., .Tilly 18.—About
1:30 o'olock yesterday there was a
hurried beatiog to arms throughout
the Second brigade and a scurry imj of
officers which was very war-like, w
Information had been received that
the ciunp was to be attacked from the
rear by the loeked-out men before day
light Where the rumor came from no
one knew, but was sufficient to arouse
the brigade, and to have the guards
doubled everywhere and to keep the
Sixteenth regiment under arms all1
night. Meanwhile the locked-out men
slept peacefully all night, totally un
aware 01 the alarm they were causing
in camp.
At an early hour the guards around
the mill fence were tripled,so that now
the guardsmen are only a few feet
apart nround the entire plant. Whether
this is caused by the long roll last
night or by the information of an in
| vasion of the mill can only be con
jectured.
| Offers of financial aid were received
by the leaders, making in all 053 such
proffers. Tlie men believe that in a
week they could collect 810,000 from
various labor organizations to he de
voted to the payment of day workmen.
In confirmation of the story that ar
rests of eertain of the Homestead
strikers will soon occur, it comeB
from a reliable source that on the
morning of July 6 and all during the
day detectives were secreted in the mill
property armed with kodaks. Snap
allots of many of the strikers were
taken, and especially those who had ,
arms. In reference to this story '
Mr. Lovojoy to-day said: "There
is foundation for such a story, hut I
cannot go into details. This was done
as a means of identification in view of
the pcssible arrest of the strikers. The
finding of the dynamite there yester
day I believe to be due to the fact that
it was some left over hv a contractor
who was building three houses and had
to use dynamite to blast for the cellar.
I do not believe it was brought there
with any design against the mill prop
prt.p M
At 3 o’clock tins morning fifty men
were unloaded at a point near Swiss
vale and escorted overland one mile by
a guard of tlie militia of the Mononga
hela river, opposite the Homestead
works. There they boarded the steam
er Little Bill and were transported
across the river to the company’s prop
erty .
When the strikers gathered on the
streets, as has been their wont since
the beginning of the trouble, and
looked toward the mills they saw
steam issuing from the engines in the
annor-plate mill and press shops. They
were surprised, they believed it meant
business, but were totally unable to
account for the presence of a sufficient
number of men to keep the machinery
in motion.
The future policy of the company
was outlined by Secretary Lovejoy,
who was seen at his office in Pitts
burg, and said:
"We are now ready to run our mills,
men are going into the property in
squads, the machinery in the armor
plate, press and machine shops is
started and a furnace in No. 2 open
hear til department has been fired.
The mills will be in operation in a few
days, possibly by Monday next two
thirds of our old men will be ready for
work. We believe this to be true. If,
however, tliey are not we will run just
the same, for we now have a large
force in reserve."
From another source it was learned
that the old workers, such as are de
sired, have been given to understand
that they could have their old places
back if they reported by Monday.
All night long men were sent across
the river on the Little Bill, and now
there ' must be between 300 and 500
men in the company’s property.
The strikers are dismayed, and it
was observed that not since the trou
ble commenced has there been so few
strikers on the streets as last night.
It was a night of sadness for them, for
they saw or heard before retiring that
the mills are about to be put in opera- ;
tion. Even the women are becoming
anxious. |
Superintendent Potter instituted a
complete seareh yesterday of every j
portion of the mills for dynamite or
other explosives. If any was found
the discovery was not made known.
It seems now that it is only a question
of time till the mills are placed in op
eration.
The first clash between the civil and
the military authorities occurred
shortly after midnight. Amos Stewart,
the high constable of the borough, was
arrested by tlie patrol and placed in
the guard house. He had been drink
ing too freely and finally became so
boisterous that the patrol ordered him
to go home. He refused and declared
that no brass-buttoned militiamen
could take him in. He was released
at 8 o'clock this morning.

probably, that lias a large building de—
voted entirely to the use of physician*,
and in no way connected with a medi
cal college. There is one of that kind
here, on the corner of Jefferson avenue,
and Locust street. It was erected for*
the sole purpose of giving the doctors •
the kind of offices they need aDd there,
is nobody else in it except tlie janitor.
There is another bulkling here which
is given up to the studies of artists. It.
is on the corner of lienumont street,
and Locust, ltotli buildings were put-,
up by men who were doubtful, at first,
of the success of their pvojects, but.,
each has proved the owner a man of
foresight by becoming a profitable in
vestment from the first.
Fred M. C’rundcn, the manager of
the Public Library, showed himself &
man of advanced ideas when, in ar—
ranging the plans of the new building
on Locust street, he provided for a.,
large room to be used exclusively by
women studying or reading. In
Europe that is done, but there .is nos
library on this side of the water where
it is considered necessary to pay this-,
attention to the woman students. All
women who have to go much to librar
ies soy that they cannot work at ease

plain that they are often annoyed by
people who walk up behind them and

look over their shoulder.
There are two big camp-meetings that.
every year attract large numbers of
people from tit. Louis. One is the camp
meeting at Piasa Uhl ft's, and the other
is Camp Marvin. The bluffs are a.
score of miles away, and are reached
by boats. Hundreds of men from here
take their families up there, and leave- ■..
them in the cottages while the camp
meeting lasts, running up from the
city every day or so to see them. The
Marvin camp-ground is only a short,
distance away from the city, and is.
reached by vehicles. There are no.
houses on the grounds, and those who.
go out there live in tents till the meet
ing is over. The grounds, with tlieir
lines of tents, and their religious" ser
vices under pine-topped sheds area,
unique sight, and the road between
here and the busy city is covered every- i
day with buggies and carriages full of'
people going out to look on. Camp Mar—
vin is to be opened about the last of.'
this month, and the meeting at Piasa '(/>
llluffs will begin as soon as the Marvin
meeting ends.
One million passengers have to rid®
on a street-ear before the company
takes in S'jO.OOu, perhaps more, for some
of the people ride on passes, and some
of them are children and pay only half'
fare. "Vet, some of the lines here have
not only received that much money in
the past year, but have increased their
receipts by that much, since they cava
up their horse power and adopted elec
tricity to propel the cars. It is no
wonder that when the reports of the
City register show such results from,
the change to electricity that all the
lines are grasping at the trolley. So.
many have given up the cable and the •
horses that the electrical magazines. —
say St. Louis is ahead of every city in,
the United States on its fast transit,
mileage. Only four of the twenty-five
liues in the city are now using horses.
Two of these have already bought their- .
material for putting up 'the overhead,
wires, and by the time the crowds
begin to pour into the city to see tlie-i
fall festivities only two slow lines will
be left. These are short, and the vis
itors will be more interested in them,
as a curiosity than inconvenienced.
