Mr. Fuller of Iowa , offered an amend
ment placing all sugars and molasses on the
"ist. He ciitici/ed tbo committee en ways
ncausfor having retained on the protective
ist an article the prod action of which In this
country was so insignificant for the purpAsa
oj retaining Louisiana hi the democratic
lolumn , and he denounced the bill as being
lloglcally and badly constructed , and asTiav-
jiii : for its chief characteristic jts extreme

idrccnt. .The Amendment would reduce tao

edits for every maii , womrtn nn'd 'child. It

would draw Ihd necessary and proper in

60 to lOo. *
Mr. McConlas of Maryland Inquired of thb

committee whether , ou March 20 , they haU
not given a hcaflng to Mr. Havcmeyer of

Duties h.ul been ghihted hearings bofordtho
wrtj s and means coinmittco imd others ro-
fllbCd ,
On mot'nn ' of Mr. Mills the duty on molas
ses testing ndt above 5(1 ( degrees was IKed al
" } { cents per gallon.
Mr. C'amion of Illinois offered an amend
ment substituting the sugar schedule as
It originally appeared in the Mills bill , lib
Intimated that a chungo had been brought
aboUt by the fact that Uavemoycr had sup
ported Cleveland.
Mr. tteed Inquired If the chairman of thd
committee would not explain the i cason Why
the chungo had been mtulo.
MK Mills retorted by Inqulrlligwhy it was
that when ill fdruuh- congresses the uoUlmlt-
tdd InUl hdught to niultti A ch'angrt the jjlihtld-
man had stood by this grciU. cheat.
Mr. Cannon inquired whether two wrongs
made a right.
Mr. Mills wanted to know why it was that
tao gentleman had stood by HaveniOjer
add the sugar trust alid all other trusts. Ho
hnd ovdn refused in former congresses to ac
cord consideration to a measure ntteutiug the
revenue , and consequently the trust.
Mr. Heed , said that hdro Was a direct
charge made against the committee ; that
after an interview with Havcinetcr they had
the sugar schedule changed in the interest of
the . most prominent of these trusts
which they denounced so much , and
explained the reason that induced
the change , and the cht > | rmun
of the committee gives the house
general declaration of how good he is and
now. bad republicans nro. Jtseemcd that thp
bill had been made up for the purpose of af
fecting the sucioss of certain democrats.
Mr. Cannon's amendment wus rejected.
Mr. Weber of Now Yoi-k offered an amend
ment providing that no drawback shall bo
allowed on sugar exported from the Uhited
States. Ho charged thlit the amended
bill Was In the Iliturest ot the nilgai * trust of
the country. Mr , Weber's amendment boliif ;
rejected , ho offered another requiring draw
backs to bo paid nnly upon polarlscopic tests ,
saying that this Was the last resort of
thu silgar trust , ami the gentleman
da the other side had now an opportunity to
free theBclvca front suspicion , whloh would
become a certainty If they Voted down his
proposition.
Mr. Mills replied that the treasury officials
already had authority to make a polarlseoplo
test.
After further dobftto the amendment was
rejected. This concluded Its consideration
of the Mtgar clatwes. The next pnnutraph
relating to tobacco wan loft over for further
action , Mr , Nutting of Now York moved to
strike out the starch provision. Pending a
vote the house adjourned.

noon , but it was n close shoYc.
The game was a "cookoo" up to the ninth ,
up to which time the Oinahas hadn't any

It was n close shave , it is repeated , and
some people on the grounds held their bicath

Lovott was given a lifo on asunder by
Hanahan , and went clear round to third on

Murder In High Mfe.
A Pai-ib letter to tlio Philadelphia
Telegraph says : Another murder , tills
time one of peeuliar turpitude , owing
to the ago and wiintly character of the
vi'Miin , lias just laken jilaco ut
Montlhery. Madame Saintin , a lady of
over seventy , lived there in compara
tive retirement with two sor-
ser\.iiits , ono of whom was a young man
called Abul ClmiTOn , who occupied a
room in an out building. She was very
wetiltliv , notwithstanding her simple
.btj lo of exihtem-e , ami was noted for her
exteiioivo charities and foi the personal
interest which she testified toward the
poor. The other morning she was
found lying on the lloor of her bedroom
in a pool of blood , still breathing , but.
with her head cruelly fractured by
blow& evidently dealt by an a.\o which
lay beside her. The poor old woThan
never recovered consciousness , but died
a few hours after she was found iu that
condition. On examining tlio
promises several articles of furniture
were found broken open , showing
that theft had boon the object of the
crime , and in fact it was well known
that Madame Saintin was in the habit
of keeping largo sums of money in her
house. The police , in the course of
their investigations , found in an old
fruit basket covered with a cloth a bum
of 320,000 , in gold , and $0,000 in bank
notes , which had CbCtip d the researches
of the murderer , nnd also a number of
securities of great value. The young
coachman , Abel ( . 'barren , on being in
terrogated , showed so much alarm and
told such contradictory stories that ho
ho was at once arrested , mid finally con-
fej-ed that it was ho who had killed his
mistress. Out of all tlio wealth con
cealed about the houao ho had managed
to ihccuro only $ " ) ( > ! ) , which was found
hidden under ono of the feats of
Madnmo SiiiniinV carriage. There was
no need Of his having committed mur
der in order Id got possession of her
money , as she uSed Id let it lie around
with mi inexplicable degree of careloss-
nc.-'S , nnd he might just as well have
walKed olT with the old basket nnd its
precious contents without stopping to
kill the old lady. Charron was trans
ferred to the prls-on at Corboll by night
to hindfii1 the populace from dealing
summary justice upon him , M inf.uriutod
were they against the assassin of their
bcnefai'trcs- .
It will be s"on that this case presents
several analogies with that of Mtirchnn-
doulio , murdered Madame Cornet on
the Uue do Se/e a few year , ? ago. In
both enbos it w.is iv wealthy old ladj who
wits the victim and a young man-servant
who was the criminal. The temptation
in Madame Cornet's CM no was her ow-
elr.\nsin that of Madame Saintin it
was her money , in both instances the
poos.sioiis liL-ing too opnnly displayed
and too enrele-iMy left lying about.
There is a growing distrust now among
elderly ladies who live alone respecting
the employing of valetsor coachmen ,
and especially the lattnr. One man
who was arrested for burglary Himo
tlmo ago was found to possess a list of
tlioulo'cd or maiden ladles inhabit
ing a certain central quarter of Paris ,
with full indieatiQiiH as to their wealth ,
their habits , the number of servants
that they keep , etc.
