p. m. Sheriff Arm a jo , upon receipt

iutico Piere had teen implicated In
tho'mur3etr of Colonel Potter , who
was in the employ of the interior de
partment to collect mining statistics
for the census bureau , sent two men
and arrested him at Islet" , fifteen
miles below Albanuerque. He denied
all knowledge , until confronted by
the sheriff , when he stated the facts
which he said had been related to him
by one of the parties to the murder ,
named Marineo Leybor. He was
placed in the jail and securely guard
ed , as a mob were determined to
lynch him. The following day the
sheriff , with six well armed men , and _
accompanied by Mr. T. O. f

of the murdered mn , and &a&l ue

clothing fen'd a number of peculiar but-
ti&a were found The latter were
identified by Mr. VBn Zindt as belonging
longing to Colonel Potter. scalae-
tico , who bad strenuously denied hav
ing been a TVitnBsi to the murder ,
then gateas all have reason to be
lieve , a truthful account of the
tragedy :
The Colonel , who left Tejahoras on
the morning of October 6th , met two
men on the ro d , from whom he in
quired the direction to Las Places.
They directed him to a trail , bcr ceely
to mislead him , he belug at "the time
on the directed road. When they
sep arMed the two men made X detour ,
anu , reaching the polni tyhlch Potter
mu t pass , nnw Mm disaount In the
act of lighting hta pipe , They then
opened fire on him , the first s&ot
striking on his knee. > an causing him
to fall to the ground. Potter drew his
weactm ahd shot ono of his assailants
m the arm. The second shot tvok
effect in Potter's breast , and Ilia re
turned fire killed a horte of ono of the
robbers. Potter's horse then fell
dead from a bullet , and a few seconds
later was followed by hla unfortunate
master. The bandit * , after robbing
the body of all.but the clothes , they
being too bloody to safely take , cov-
trod it with brush , which , being fired ,
soon , as they thought destroyed all
trace of their crime. Further Inqul.y
elicited the fact tnat two of the as-
llantB of Potter were living in ths
mountains not far from the spot of
'he murder , and a party at once sur-
ounded their house effecting their
apture. The same means that had
been so successfully engaged In the
instance of Esoalastlco , produced con
firmatory confessions from them , with
he additional information that the
robbers who had been wounded by
Potter , was no less a personage than
Marino Lybor. He had been known
o have presented a watch to Pendle-
ton Myra. This watch answered the
dlecrlptloa of one worn by Ool. Peter
er , and the fact of Marino appearing
at tbe same time , with a wounded
arm , which injury be ascribed to a fall a
from his horse , convicts him in the
minds of all men as one of Potter's
murderers. The watch was traced
rotn the hands of Mira to a pawn
sroker in Albuquerque , but the case
had already been melted when a de
mand for It was made by the sheriff.

m. This morning about 6 o'clock
a fire broke out in the thee factory of
Mayer & Stern , 213 and 214 Garter
alley. Before an alarm sounded the
flame * had gained good headway. Af
ter ihe floor of the building was licked
up by the flame , and while the atten
tion of the firemen was directed on
the burning building , and endeavor
ing to cave the property on the north
etde of the alley , the flames worked
their iray to the rear and communicat
ed with the fourth floor of the adjoin
ing eight-story brick building , and In
remarkably short period the fire w a
raging with terrific fury. When It
became evident that this building was
also doomed to destruction , the chief
gave orders to the firemen to direct
their attention towards saving the ad
joining property. This they succeed to
ed in doing , and it was fortunate that
they did so , for the building contain
ed several barrels of petroleum. Tbe
building where the Era broke out was
occupied exclusively by the ahce
manufacturers , and they had ou hand
ready for shipment yesterday morning
goods in cases which were rained at
over $16,000. In addition to thli

The house of conimpnsis still In session.
Tnere is no prospect of an adjourn
ment , as neither side wUl yiel'd. Mk
Gladstoua a' d the government party
&re not inclined to abandon their de
mand for a division on the main ques
tion of Mr. Forster'a coercion bill ,
while home rulers continue th'elr ob-
struotidn tactics. Scandalous scenes
are of frequent occurrence , and sharp
passages at arms between the two
aides. Both parties are working on
the relay system , -.and whips are busy
and vigilant. The kouso has never
preientod a moro exalting appearance.
The debate in the house of com
mons on Mr. Forster'a bill still con
tinues , amid countleas scenes that defy
description. The tories repeatedly
urged the speaker to enforce the rale
against obstruction ) aild expel Mr.
Parnoll , but the speaker refused to do
10. Finally the tories , led by Sir
Stafford Northeoto , marched out of
the house amid much noiae and the
jeers and laughter of the home rulers.
During the confusion , Mr. Biggar
sailed Mr. Milbank a bloody fool , and
threatened to fight him. In reply he
called Biggar an impudent scoundrel.
The abuse of members is increasing ,
and the speaker is almost powerless
In preserving order. The Irishmen
are sleeping on the benches , while-
others are eating and drinking. It Is
aow only a question of physical
strength , and the sitting is likely to
last for a number of days. At 3

gtiUe , itivitJag the huu&jfo wftuess the

cratio osusas laai evening , providing

senate and twq on. the p-rt of the
bouge , th6 result to "bs delivered to
the president of tha aenato , who
halldoclara the result , which shall

suit , and be entered upufi ihs journal j
of the two houses , should it appeif
the vote of any state haa been
cast on a day other than that provided
'or ' by Uw , and which would not
change the rcsillt , whether counted or
not. In such a c.iaa the fesult shall be
declared thai if the laio of such a
itata be counted A. rronlfl have
) lank votes , and C. D. bla'ik votes ,
> ut in either event blank is okclel
president of the United SUte' .
Mr. Morgan aaketl the preient con-
sideratibu of his resolution.
THe reSolutioiijpfter , acme discus-
iou , went over tlnclct th ililvs.
Artef the introduction of several
unimportant bills and reports from
committees not of genernl interest ,
Mr. Harris called up hia rcaolution
providing thntnt theojnclusion of the
morning bmlncsa fct each 'Uj the senate -
ate will p'roceed { o tno consideration
of hodsa L'HJs thrit htivd been favor
ably reported , nnd contlnu'o uttch con
sideration hntil 1:30 o'clock , the
reaolution ft-.s Considered until the
close of the morning houf , when the
regular order was demanded.
Mr. KirKifOod replied to the speech
of Mr. Duff es yesterday on the killing
of thoPonca chief , fiig Snake , aud
defended the secretary of the Inletiur
from an implication by Mr Dawes
that official papers haJ been withlipld
intentionally ffom the ooramiiluC , ahd
showed from printed oviaeuce that
erorythlng mstenal in the report ,
which tbe secretary asserta was over
looked , under the supposition that it
had been informally delivered , was lu
po3-03slbnof' ' the , oommltteej and that
In Addition to official papers they had
the testimony of three or four Indiana
trho were present at the time Bi
Snake was killed. Ho next referred
to a reflection cast by Mr. Daw > B
upon" the agent of the Poncas ( Mr.
Whitman ) , and defended the conduct
of that officer. If hi * courao was
wrong , congress , which made the law
under which he acted , was responsible
for the wrong.
After a protracted controversy bo-
treen Messrs. Dares aud Kirk wood ,
in relation to the action of the secre
tary of the interior in respect to tbe
Ponca Indians , the pension appropri
ation bill iras considered by the senate.
Mr. L'jgan said he intended to call
up his bill placing General Grant on
the retired list , but as the morning
hour had long since expired , bo asked
the senate to agree to vote upon it at
2 o'clock Tuesday.
Mr. Elton objected , on the ground
that there were matters of gravo" im
portance before tbe senate , and he
thought this bill could wait without
injury to the bill or its purpose.
The pension appropriation bill was
then taken up and considered , aud un
amendment adopted appropriating
$18,282,306.08 for the deficiency In
the pension appropriation for the cur
rent year.
Mr. Withers then offered what is
known as the sixty surgeon bill as a
further amendment to the bill. Thla
led to a heated debate on ihe pension
administration and its allegations of
stupendous frauds upon tha pension
fund through fraudulent claims.
Messrs. Wi'hers , Davis , of West
Virginia , and Cameron , of Wisconsin ,
defended the commission , and insisted
tha' . a change in the law was necesary ,
while Mr. Logau declared that the
oommiajion wss incompetent , and hos
tile to the interest B of soldiers , and
the fault was not in the law , but in its
admibistration.
Without deciding a point of order
raised by Mr. Teller against legisla
tion on an appropriation bill , the senate -
ate , at 4:30 : , went into executive ses
sion , and soon thereafter adjourned.
HOUSZ.
The house mot at 11 this morning.
The morning hourwas dispensed with ,
and the house went into committee
of the whole on the District of Colum
bia appropriation bill , Mr. Converse ,
of Ohio , in the cbair. The entire day
was spent in considering the District
of Columbia appropriation bill. A
number of amendments were discuon-
ed , but no material change wai made
In the bill , and the house adjourned
without having disposed of the bill.
