Mrs. Katon, a sister of President Harrison, was seriously injured by be ing thrown from a carriage at Cle es, Ohio, on Sunday. It was at first thought that her injuries were fatal, but late advices say that she is out of danger. . A bill in the interest of constables has been introduced in the House, for the payment of a fee to these officials for monthly visitations made under the Brooks license law. The bill pro vides that they shall receive 50 cents each visit, onedol.ar tor e .ch written return of violation of license law, and six cents mileage for each necessarily traveled. The present law makes no provision for their payment. THE LEGISLATURE. Special Correspondence of Tin Columbian Hakrisburg, April 20, 1801. The general Road bill has passed nnauy in tne iiof.se. when it came uiu uiuu leaning ycMCluay, iur Colton, of Allegheny, spoke in oddo sition to it. He said he would vote for it just to get rid of it, as, in his estimation, it would do neither good nor harm, t-apt bkinner, of 1-ulton, in Droteslinir aeainst it said that the sum of $1,000,000 is too small to re pair the roads, and that the bill would be no improvement on the present svstem. Mr. Lvtle. of Huntingdon. wanted to go into Committee of the wnoie ior me purpose ot inserting the county engineer feature, but his mo tion was voted down. After other speeches, nro and con. hv several members, the bill passed by a vote of 103 yeas to 75 nays, a bare constitu tional majority, it was a stubborn fight. On the first call of the roll it was defeated, but several memDers changed their votes, claiming they had voted under a misapprehension. Mr. Gillan. of Franklin, finally nrntptd gainst the changing of votes, and that ome members came to the clerk's lesk to see how the matter stood be fore making the change The bill has already passed the Senate, and goes to tne governor. THE COMPULSORY EDUCATION BILL. The House Dassed finally vestnrdav the bill introduced by Mr. Far, of lackwanna, the Compulsory Educa- wu uiu. a 1 icquircs uic parents or guardians of children between eiVht and twelve years of age to send their ciiuuren to ine puonc, proveroial or private schools at least sixteen consecu tive weeks in each vear. The nenaltv for a violation of the act is a fine of $3 for the first conviction, and $5 for ach subsequent conviction. The bill now goes to the Senate, and if it pass es then what fate it will meet with at the hands of the Governor, your cor respondent is not able to say. THE MUNICIPAL LIEN BILL. When the bill of Senator Flinn, of Allegheny, was called up yesterday creating and relating to municipal liens, for concurrence in the House amendments, Senator Ross, of Bucks, criticised the measure because of in sufficient notice to non-resident prop erty owners. As it affected boroughs, whose government wis altogether dif ferent from that of cities of the second class, the suggested amendments re quired notice to be published in at least two newspapers in the proper county for three weeks. The bill in volved a possible liability of jeopardiz ing titles to property. Senator Flinn asked that the matter go over, and said heould be only too glad to have it amended to meet the objections of the Senator from Bucks. THE DOCKAGE BILL. A war of words took place in the Senate on Monday night between Senators, Thompson, Republican, of Dauphin, and Hines, Democrat, of Luzerne. It grew out of the bill to prohibit the dockage of coal in the Anthracite coal fields. This bill had an easy passage through the House, its opponents reserving their strength for the battle that was sure to result in the Senate. It came, however, a little sooner than was expected, being precipitated by the Senator from Luz erne, who asked for the postponement of the bill on account of the meagre ittendance of Senators. Thompson in terposed an objection, which, of course was sufficient to defeat its considera tion. Then Hines took the floor, and spoke warmly in favor of the bill, fe intimated in unmistakable terms iat the Senator from Dauphin county - as simply violating the sentiments of ie corporations, and said that during Iw jmst two weeks he had witnessed he most shameful proceeding to de feat the proposed legislature. He cited figures to show the injustice to which minors were subjected by the dockage of coa', which he denounced a robbery. Then Thompson had his s.iv, in which he contended, the bill was the most iniquitous he had ever seen presented to the Legislature. He insinuated that the speech of the Sen ator from Luzerne incited the miners to break contracts and commit other indiscretions, and had ridden into office by his demagogucry, while he should have been relegated to ob scurity. The yeas and nays were call ed by Senator Hines on the first sec tion, on which eight Democrat were recorded in favor and fifteen Re publicans against. This showed no quorum, and a call of the Senate was had. Then the yeas were called on a second vote, and the yeas were eleven all Democrats except Bates, of Union, and sixteen nays, sll Republicans. This kills the bill for this session. At least workincmen will, it is hoped, some of these days learn who their true mends are. THE BALLOT REFORM BILL. In the Senate yesterday Senator Kapsher, Democrat, of Carbon, offer ed a resolution requesting the report ing of the Baker Ballot Reform bill to-day, as it had been before the Com mittee on Flections sufficiently long to justify such action, senator Crouse Republican, of Philadelphia, explained that four members or the Committee on Elections were absent with the Committee on Appropriation, and that the bill would be reported after the hearing of it on Thursday. The re solution was then referred to the Committee on Elections. The truth remains, however, that the Republi can bosses are opposed to ballot or any other reform in the interests of the people, and the passage of the bill is at least questionable. THE SOLDIER'S ORPHANS' INVESTIGATION A resolution last night to grant an extension of powers to the com mittee to investigate the conduct of the Soldiers' Orphans' Schools elicited considerable debate in the House. The resolution however finally passed. WANT THE BENEFIT OK THE SCHOOL FUND. The bill introduced by Senator Hall of Elk, to turn parochial schools over to the care of the Department of Public Instruction, whereby these schools can come in for a share of the public school fund, is meeting with bitter opposition, especially from the order of the Sons of America, and Senators are besieg-d with letters and remonstrances against its passage. The impression is it will not become a law. A REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN. A pretty fight is going on in Re publican camp just now over the elec tion of a chairman of the Republican State Committee. The contest is be tween Representative Baker, of Dela ware county, and Senator Woods, of the Juniata district. Baker is an avowed anti-Quay man, and it is not thought the silent junior U. S. Senator will permit him to have control of the affairs of the Republican organization. But "it is none of our funeral," and let the fight go on. The people of the State will be the gainers in the complete discomfiture of both factions of the Republican party. Columbia. A Horrible Imitation of the Awful White- cnapel Unmes. A DEPRAVED WOMAN SLASHED TO PIECES IN A NEW YORK HOTEL HER MURDER ER STEALS AWAY UNDETECTED A DULL TABLE KNIFE USED THE POLICE AFTER THE MURDERER. New York. ADril 2s A murder as horrible in its details as those recent ly committed in the Whitechapel dis trict of London was Demetrated in a hotel in the most populous part of our city somewhere between the hours of II o'clock last night and a nVWJt this morning by an unknown man who 1 . nas disappeared as mysteriously as if the earth had opened and swallowed him. The victim was a woman of the Streets, and was cut in nrerisplv the same manner as those unfortunates who fell victims to "Jack the Ripper." The man who accompanied the wom an to the hotel is described as similar to the famous Whitechapel butcher. The woman, when discovered at 9. 45 o'clock this morninc hv F.dw.ir1 Fitzgerald, the clerk of the Fourth Ward Hotel, where the crime was committed, was lying naked on the bed in room 31, on the top floor, where she and her escort were shown at II o'clock last nicht. The sheet and her underclothing, which were of poor quauty ana airty, were tied tight ly about the throat and head, and the abdomen was cut and slashed in horrible manner by a dull, broken tauie Knne, winch lay on the floor not far from the bed. The viscera had been cut and from appearances a part was missing, ine man had disappeared, although no one had the hotel. The body of the woman had not linen touched since Fitzeerald die, her, and the Coroner, making a hasty tAaiuiuauuu, iuunu mat sne had been dead qnite a number of hours. He removed the cloths from her face and neck and revealed a ghastly visage. i tic tongue was out ol the mouth and swollen, the eyes bulged from their sockets, the nose was flattened to the ' face, and about the neck was a circle of congealed blood. J The appearance of the face con 1 vinced the Coroner that the woman had first been strangled and then cut. On turning over the body it was found that the murderer had left his mark. The broken end of the knife hnd been used to make a large cross on the base of the spine. Everything about the room was in a state of disorder, al though it might have been in this con dition before the couple entered it. The rooms on the top floor of the lodging-house are nothing more than spa ces divided off by thin board parti tions. All the adjoining rooms were occupied last night, but their tenants had left the hotel when the body was discovered. If the man had been noisy in his work the people in the other rooms must certainly heard him. but if they did they said nothing about it to the clerk. An examination of the register showed that Room 28 was occupied by John Walsh and -ifc; Room 29, by J. Buckley; Room 30 by O'connor and wife; and Room 32, by a man named Riley. Proprietor Jennings and the assistant housekeeper, Mary Munitor, went up to the Oak Street Police Sta tion and then told Coroner Schultz and Police Captain O'Connor all they knew about the case. The housekeeper said that the mur dered woman. s companion wore a white, tnrned down collar and a dark biown cutaway coat. He was decid edly German in appearance, but she could not tell from his appearance how long he had been in this country. She said he resembled a sea-faring man. Mary said that the woman was a well known character around the neighborhood, but no one seemed to know her or where she lived. The police are scouring the city and the vessels at the docks for the murderer. Use the Averill Paint and increase the value of your buildings and im prove their appearance.
