A SMNS ATION
A Chief Reporter In the Bounds
Stumbles on to a Dead Body.
Yesterday afternoon as one of
these metropolitan scribes were per
ambulating through the various ave
nues that lead to this "future great"
he was horribly surprised at
stumbling onto the headless trunk
of a dead body near the court house.
The attention of the county officials
was called to the matter but one and
all failed to recognize the same, but
thought that it was a Mr. K. Ittie, a
runner, who had been seen in that
vicinity before. The affair created
a sensation, especially during the
warm weather of the last day or two
but it was thought that the affair
would be placed in the cat-a-gory of
a sudden death at the hands of some
individual who had become tired of
the back yard howls of the feline race
and had dispatched his catship to the
happy hunting grounds.

abouts and has the record of hauling

Judge Willcox is papa again. The

The B. & M, folks are hauling a

the rumor is true.

Blaine's letter to the American
people of Monday withdrawing his
name from the list of presidential
aspirants on the republican ticket
marks on era of sound judgemint in
his career. He well knew that he
could not unite the factions in his
own party and rather than injure
their coming success this fall has de
cided to keep aloof. This one thing
will make him a greater man than
ever in the eyes of his countrymen.
No one questions his ability to fill
the office, but his inability to unite
the party is sufficent reason why he
should stay out of the fight. This he
has observed.

Last night at the Fireman's ball,
occurred a little shooting scrape that
might have been the cause of sending
several of our citizens to kingdom
come. It seems that Will Barber
while under the influence of too much
'tangle foot" wanted to gain admis
sion to the hall, and did so, but on
behaving rather unbecoming was un
ceremoniously bounced by two of
the firemen. Bill then maandered
down street, procured a revolver,
ctme back, blazed away, and a car
tridge went zipping by John Tomlin
son's ear, in too close proximity for
comfort, and without waiting to see
the result the trigger was again press
ed and a second time the bullet went
on its deadly mission, but befere do
ing any damage its course was arras
ted by the door where it embedded
itself, and then he west away. This
morning a warrant was issued for kirn
but he escaped the vigilaace ot the
officers aad up to goiig to press had
not been arrested.

THE LONE HOUSE.
Th Senate Not in Seaelon A Bill
Pawed For Bight of 'Way
Through '
The Indian Territory Inefficient
Western Mail Service-Perkins'
Resolution Adopted.
Cox, of tie w York, Wipes the Floor With
Springer, of Illinois, Over the Mb
Kay Bill.
WASHrjfGTOJf. Feb. 1L When the House
met yesterday, Mr. Allen, of Mississippi,
asked unanimous consent to proceed to the
immediate consideration of the bill grant
ing right of way through the Indian Terri
tory to the Choctaw Coal & Railroad Com
pany. Mr. Allen proceeded to explain the
provisions of the bill, first stating that the
Committee on Indian Affairs believed that
the construction of railroads in the Indian
Territory should be encouraged for the
reason that they promote the civilization of
the Indians, served the public convenience
and created no obstruction. The previous
question was then ordered and the bill was
passed.
Mr. Anderson, of Illinois, from the Post
office Committee, reported favorably Mr.
Perkins' resolution directing the Postmaster-General
to inquire into the cause and
foundation for the grievances complained
of in a Kansas newspaper regarding the
Western mail service, and also to inform
the House whether the almost universal
complaint prevailing in the West against
the present unsatisfactory mail service re
sulted from the employment of inexperi
enced and incapable employes or insuffi
cient appropriations. The committee re
ported an amendment, adding to the
resolution the following: "And also that
the Postmaster-General be directed to fur
ther inquire and inform the House what, if
any, improvements and extensions bave
been made in the mail service of the West
during tne last two years."
Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, said he did not
cars to discuss the merits of the resolu
tions. He would say, however, that the
Pest-office Department, the committee and
the Democratic side of the House courted
the fullest investigation of the matter, and
he was confident that investigation would
show that the postal service was as efficient,
if not more so, than at any time in its his
tory. Mr. Perkins, of Kansas, wanted all of
the facts laid before the House. If the
bad service was the fault of the House in
consequenca of inadequate appropriations
he desired to know it, and if it was the
fault of the Administration that should be
made known. The resolution had been ap
proved January 23 and under the rules
should bave been reported within a week.
In that particular the Post-office Commit
tee was almost as unsatisfactory as the
mail service. The resolution was not po
litical and the complaints came from Dem
ocrats and Republicans alike. When the
answer came he would undertake to show
that they were well founded.
The resolution wa finally adopted after
the insertion of an mendment offered by
Mr. Holtnaa inserting the words '-alleged"
before "complaint.''
Mr. Culberson, of Texas, from the Ju
diciary Committee, reported favorably a
bill to create an arbitration board to settle
the differences between the United States
and Texas, and Mr. Jones, of Alabama, re
ported favorably from the Committee on
Rivers and Harbors the resolution calling
en the Secretary of War for information
relative to the alleged obstructions of the
Wabash river by a bridge of the Louisvillo
& Evansville Railroad Company.
A number of reports upo-i private bills
were presented, and the House began the
consideration of bills oa tho private cal
endar. Upon reaching, ia Committca of the Whole,
the bill fortherel.cf of Nathaniel McKay
and the executors of Donald McKay, and
after Mr. Springer of Illinois had read long
extracts from th j report and antagonized
the bill, Mr. Cox of New Yoik rose and
said that never since he had been in Con
gress had he heard a more mccherent, dis
jointed, ramshackle speech than had just
been delivered. It had all been drawn from
the report of the committee, pieces being
taken out wherever they suited tho purpose,
so as not to afford a reasonable opportunity
to the House to judge of the case.
Mr. Springer declared that he had fairly
presented the case, and Mr. Cox replied
that he had taken very good care when
stating that the bill had been vetoed not to
state the reasons for the veo, so that tho
cu3e could see how the President's ob
jection had been met, aad now ween it was
suggested that tne measure mignt D2 maue
acceptable to the President, the gentleman
(Springer) was here thinking with his
heels and dancing with his head, prevent
ing a conclusion. The bill was just ia tho
line of the views which the gentleman
from Illinois bad so eloquently aad for so
many years urged upon the House courts
for the adjudicat.on of private claims yet
when such a bill cams up the gentleman
was found trying to hrea'i it down in de
tails. The gentlcm in knew himself, if he
was a lawyer he had heard it said he was
a lawyer laughter that in all matters
connected with conscience a receipt could
always be explained by evidence, and that
the man would be an unconscionable scoun
drel who would take advantage ota receipt
given in aa emergency or under duress.
What was a3kcd was that the case be sent
into the courts so that it could be ascer
tained whether or not the Government
owed these claimants.
Mr. Springer said that the gentleman
from New York had been very felicitous
in his remarks and nobody had enjoyed
them more than he had. Laughter. He
would willingly give every Friday during
the Balance of the session to hear the gen
tleman's melodious voice. But this was some
serious business to be done. He declared
that this was not a case such as he had
contemplated referring to tho court of
claims, for this bill sought to empower the
court to find a judgment. Tho gentleman

the benefits proposed to be conferred, and
charged that the bill was more in the in
terest of tho lobby than of the actual
claimants.
Mr. Stone, of Kentucky, earnestly ad
vocated the bill, and resenting Mr. Spring
er's remark about the lobby, said that "if
you to find a man who might be influenced,
you must hunt up tho man who thinks that
every one else can be influenced." The
gentleman's remarks were an imputation
against the whole House and should not be
allowed.
The committee decided to report the bill
favorably to the House and rose, and the
two bills on the private calendar which had
been favorably reported from the Commit
tee of the Whole were then taken up. The
first for the relief ot C. M. Bnggs.de
ceased, was passed with little objection. Ia
the case of the second, however that for
relief of Nathaniel McKay and the
executors of Donald McKay Mr. Spring
er interposed a vigorous resist
ance, and although tho House refused to
second his demand for ayes and noes, he
succeeded in preventing it passing by de
manding the reading of the engrossed bill.
The House then passed the Senate bill
authorizing the appointment of Andrew D.
White as register of the Smithsonian In
stitute, and adjourned until Monday, leav
ing the McKay bill as unfinished business
to come up next Friday morning.
Car thieves.
Officers Storm a Ilooae at Olathe, Kaa.,
and Arret Two Men.
Olathe, Kan., Feb. II. Detective O. J.
Freligh, accompanied by City Marshal
Easdale and Sheriff Townlcy, made a raid
yesterday afternoon on a house, to which
they had trac-d three car thieves, and in
which they knew stolen goods to be con
cealed. For several weeks tho Southern
Kansas railroad authorities have bad goods
taken from cars ia transit from Kansas
City to this place and points farther west.
They traced some of them to this place,
and detailed Freligh to work up the
case. This he succeeded in doing, in
connection with Marshal Easdale, after be
ing here about a week, and the raid yes
terday was the result, The oncers had
to break into the house, where they were
met by four women and three men, armed
with clubs, knives, razors, an axe and a
revolver. The parties were all colored, and
the officers hal a severe struggle, and had
to use their clubs freely. One of the men,
however, jumped through a window and
succeeded in getting away. They fought
like tigers, the women using knives. The
officers escaped bodily harm except some
scratches and torn clothes. One woman
made a pass at Marshal Easdale' s throat
with a razor, and would have probably
ended his career were it not for a blow on
the arm by one of bis companions. Two
men, Green Johnson aal Hugh McGinnis,
were captured and locked up. The women
were not arrested, as it was thought best
to leave them outside as bait for the rest of
the gang. Upon searching the house sev
eral cases of boots and shoes, cloth and
other goods were found and identified.
