Carsen, Washington cor respondent of the Philadelphia LeJgtr ; Majer Carsen docs net regard the action of the Pennsylvania delegation en the clerkship as finally nettling the laane be tween himself and Edward McPherson. " Fer the past two days, " said he, " I anticipated this outcome. It can be ex plained In n few words tlie Interference of Senater Quay. That senator has msed beyond the arbitrary management of town councils and municipalities te tlie arbitrary management of con congressional delegations. Success as chairman of the national committee has increased bis natural audacity. A short time age I had the best of. rct-sens for be lieving that a large majority of the Penn sylvania delegation would be with me. In addition te the live gentlemen who voted for me te-dav. Messrs. Darllnirten. Yard I- ley and Scrauten informed me personally inaiiuey weuia support me, anu waisen gave n ltke pledge te n mutual friend. These four gentlemen voted for my com petitor. General Blmrham, of Philadel phia, did net nt nny titne say te me thatf would have his support, but through sumo of bis most intimate friends in Philadel phia I learned that he told them he would support me. "Of the two absentees Mr. Harmer is one of my most enrnest supporters, and will vote for me In caucus te-day, nnd from conversations had with Mr. McCor McCer mlek and ethers, I count upon tbe support of that gentleman. Had the live men named redeemed their premises, I would bave bad a majority of the delegation. Anether point, Rife, Townsend and Riy wero net committed when they readied Washington, at least they se informed me, se that I hIieuUI have an equal chance with my opponent with them. I have no fault te llnd with the action of these gentlemen, but ll is f.iir te assume that they may have been snmewhat influenced by tlie condi tions they found existing In the contest upon their arrival here." " Wliaftvcre the conditions? " "The knowledge of the fact ihat Senater Quay favored the selection of my op ponent, and the result that sprung from that fact, namely, the transfer of the majority from me te him. Twe weeks nge i nau a taiK wuu nuay, in nis com mittee room, and then informed him that I had net consulted him or Mr. Cameren en the clerkship because I bolieved it was a matter which did net concern thorn, that tholntcrfeienceef senators with the Heuse organization would be unwise and Impolitic and that, he believing, I had net ceme te him te solicit aid. I heard that Mr. Quay's sympathies were with my oppon ent, which explains my visit te him at that time. I further Informed the scniter I simply desired a fair chance te contest for the delegation without senatorial Interfer ence, and that I would net complain If I should be defoated by the tree and un trammeled actions of the members. Mr. Quay assured me that he sliared my belief as te senatorial Interference and dochtred that he had no purpose te take any part In the contest. At the tame time he admitted that his ' sympathies' were with m y op ponent, because of service of the latter in the presidential campaign. Knewing the man, I expressed the fear that his ' sym pathies' would lead him te solicit votesfor my oppenont. With the renewed assur assur unce that he would take no part In the con test, we separated. " I have reason te belie ve that prier te this interview Mr. Quay's 'sympathies' had materialized into action. I knew they have taken form and direction since, and the action of the delegation en FridayIur nlshcH tlie proof. I am credibly Informed that he sent for members and requested them te vote against me. In one instance when a member replied that he had prom prem ised te support me, and Intended te aJ aJ aJ liore te that premise both in the collier cellier collier nce of the delegation and tlie caucus, Quny responded : , " ' Well, pcrbaps'yeu are strong enough In your district te be independent. ' " " In auntlier case, te add feice te his do de luand for a vote against me, he said : ' Car Car eon represents no one but a let of irre sponsible nawspaper men, without influ ence or residence eutsldu"bf the district of Columbia. "These are seme of the methods used te turn the majorities or the Pennsylvania delegation against me. lam proud te be stigmatized us a representative man of my newspaper biethrcn, the least of whom are tee Independent te wear a cellar bearing Mr. Quay's tag, and I regret that nil the members of Congress from Pennsylvania are net their equals in this respect of these Irresponsible-newspaper men.'' " Hew de you explain the opposition of General Bingham, one of the representa tives from your own city T" "I have no explanation ether than that given by Ring bam himself. He is un ardent. epen nnd consistent supporter of Mr. Heed. Twe days age he informed me that a 'deal' had been fixed up, that It was Reed and Mr Pherson, mid that all the Keed men would be against inc. He kindly advised me net te further pursue the clerkship, as I would roeeive net mere than three votes in the Pennsylvania delegation. In de clining te sav he would Jein his Philadel phia colleagues in supporting me he added, bv wav of consolation, that he was net pledged te my opponent, yet fer.the past four or liu days be was publicly classified witli tliose who were known te be against me. While liiugliam gae me personally no ground te etpect Ills vote, yet I cannot re sist the beliet that his speech and actions when talking te mutual friends about the contest were misleading and dissembling. By reason of long acquaintance and friendly relationship, and his determined opposition te Mr. AlePhersen at theorganl theerganl theorganl zatien of the Forty-seventh Congress, I -was induced te hope that he would support me." "Docs this action of the Pennsylvania members takoyeu out of tlie contest? " "Net necessarily; I think my nama will be presented te the Republican caucus. Friday's action of the delegation finds no one. The fivu men who voted for me, with tlie addition of Mr. Harmer and per haps Mr. MrCermlck, will vote for me in caucus te-day. I am a candidate for clerk .against this pernicious and corrupting system of boss rule represented by Mr. Quay. I w HI, perhaps, be beaten, but the light will continue until besslsm Is over thrown. I will net be defeated if these members vote for me In te-day's caucus who have expressed their abhorenco of Mr. Quay's interference In the Heuse organl erganl ratli'ui. In nnv event. I am determined te give the Ilepublican members-elect an opportunity to.cheoso between the man Mr. Quay has dictated and the man he has rejected for clerk of the Heuse." Carsen and MoPhersen weie outside the commlttee room during tlie caucus. Carsen told McPherson that the story which McPhersen had been circulating About him te the effect that Carsen was net a citizen of Pennsylvania and had net voted tliore for sixteen years was false " Aud what's inore," said Carsen, " I rU.ed en Cemetery Hill in 1WS3, aud looked down en your home, but you were net in the state just then." Which allusion te the soldier record of Carsen, contrasted with the congressional record of McPheren,w as very pointedly put. MoPhersen said in reply that he was very sorry te learn that lie had been misled about Carben's citl7cu shlp. He had simply repeated what he had been told by a man whom he supposed knew. " What Is his name."' demanded Carsen. " I cannot give you his name," told McPherson. " Well," said Carben, " tell him ler me that he Is a liar." Tlie caucus was compeed of nineteen jnonibers.

The case was dismissed, JLANCASTER, A QUESTION SETTLED. TIE WILL IF I. A. FTJSS MTEINETEB BY IIS EXECCTIIS. Five Thousand Dollars Added te the He quest Fer Balldins the Memerial Chapel Fer Mr. Evans Mether. It will b remembered that during the lifetime of the Iste Rebert A, Evans he executed a contract with Jehn A. llurgcr, builder, for the erection of a chapel fe& the Prssbyterlan church, Just east of the main cdlfloe of worship at East Orange street. The contract price for the structure com plete, as It new stands, built after the plans of Architect Demnwelf. of Yerk, was 15,G00 ; and this Mr. Evans engaged te pay by a contract made in May, te which no ether member of the congregation was a party, and after Mr. Evans death In tbe probale of his will it wall found he had left a legacy of 115,000 te the church for the purpose of erecting a memorial chapel te his mother. Immediately the question nroe In the minds el the Presbyterians and It came te be one of very general discussion and speculation In the community whether it was the Intention of Mr. Evans te bestow upon the church a double glft.te denate te It a chapel and f 15,000 besldes, whether or net the f 15.000 was te enable the congregation te finish and furnish the chapel already begun ; whether or net the legacy was In tended te build another and distinct chapel te the memory of testator's mother; or, finally, whether the,legany was net merely confirmation of the former gift and in tended te stand for the contract price of the chancl. As has been intimated, Proshyterlnns and outsiders, trustees, members, lawyers, laymen, executers and busybedles were auKS exercised in ineir minus as 10 1110 proper Interpretation of the situation, the proper legal construction et the will nnd the duty of the church in the premises. When It was found that the execution and date of the will and tlie time of its actual signing were after Mr. E. had made the contract for tlie chapel and bound him self te pay $15,000 te Burger, the conclusion seemed irresistible -that he Intended te make both gifts. When it was found that te properly equip, licit and furnish the chapel required about $5,000 mera than the contract price, confirmation was given te the theery that Mr. Evans intended te de mere than erect the naked building. But when it was pointed out that Mr. Evans had never indicated any purnose te build two chapels, and that he coupled his legacy with the condition that it be npplled te a "memorial" chapel, strength was given te the idea that he meant the legacv te pay for the building of whose erection he had assumed the responsibility. Tliore were these, tee. who steutlv contended that the church could net airerd te take imv chance of doing un ungoncreus nnd unfufr tiling even If it had u technical advantage in law by the cstate of 0110 who had been its generous patron. . lietween the trustees and oxecnters these conversations have been tessed back and forth for soine time ; finally, 11 is under stood, a conclusion has been reached satis factory nnd highly creditnble te all p.irtlcs. In view of the doubt with which Mr. Evans' Intentions scorn te be clouded, en the one band the church has net felt Justi fied in pressing its claims te everything the letter of the will gives it. On the ether hand, In contemplating the obvious leg .11 y of $15,000, eutside of the obligations or Ine contract, the Evaus executers have felt that a compremiso was entirely expedient. Accordingly It has been virtually agreed that for the expense of completing the chapel and of providing everything no ne cessary te its equipment and ready use the executers will nay te the church trustees $5,000, se that tlie chapel entire can be re garded as the gift of Mr. Evans and a me morial te his mother; and in view of tills the church releases all claim te the $15,500 legacy. Thlr sets everything right ami seems te meet the equities as wollasthe ethics of the case. As the congregation had no hand in tlie building nnd VoreTiotr consulted or even Informed as te Its re markablp architecture until It was planted en thelr ground, it would have been a veiy ungracious te usk them te contribute towards finishing it; and as the chnpei was an Evans momerlal the family proj prej proj erly completes it. A Minister's Damaire Suit. Afler deliberating twonty-eno hours tlie Jury In the Begglbs-Rcad slander case at Clarlnda. Iowa, which has been en trial for ten days, returned a verdict for plain tiff for $7,500. Mr. Heggiss was in 18S7 pastor of tlie Congregational church at the town of Shenandoah. Mr. Read is a prominent banker at that place, and was an active member of his church. The liiinister was a young, unmarried man aud n society favorite Matters net apiurently going satisfactorily te all concerncd, the minister went-te a congregation nt Akren, Wis. Mr. Read followed him witli charges that led te the displacement of the minis ter. He then went te a congregation nt Newton, Kansas, and was again pursued by Mr. Read, who published n column article in the Shenandoah paper making serious charges against him. Tills in censed the minister, and he brought suit ler $J0,000 damages against Read, m Treated I.lke Ills Herse. The "Whlte Caps "are egaln nperating in Harrison county, Indiana. O110 of their victims was a worthless fellow who was the owner of an old, raw-boned horse, which he worked constantly and which he had maintained for soine time en u daily allowance of a few bits of hay nnd an occa sional corn cob. Tlie White Cups caught him recently and made him perform the duties of the horse for 0110 wiiole night. When they brought him te the stable from work the hapless victim f'.icctlouslvTe f'.icctleuslvTe rnarked that he always curried Ills liorse after working him liard. The obliging White Caps cempiled with his reqiiust with alacrity, and, with the largest and coarsest curry-comb they could find, they groomed the human pony until the bleed ran. e The Fnte era Wiro-Benter. J. B. Dobsen, was killed nt Osgood, Ind., by Ills father-in-law, A. Bishop, en Wed nesday night. Owing te Dobsen' ill treat ment of his wife her father had induced her te return home. This enraged Dobsen, who armed himself with n revolver nnd fired live shots through a window of Bishop's heuse without result. Then he set tire te tlie heuse and barn, but tlie tlaines were extinguished befere nny serious damage was dene. Dobseu then tried te get away, but was Intercepted by Bishop, who bcat'hls son-in-law's brains out with an ax. The general feeling is one of sympathy with Bishop, who as yet has net been arrested.

Crania's Poekot-Kntvcs Were In Ills Hands After the Murder. The most Important testimony In the Creuln trial waa Introduced after tlie state had formally closed Its case, and the Inci dents surrounding this new discovery en Friday were the most sensations! that have been witnessed since the opening of the case. .Barney Flynn Is a well-known police official, but it required six months for him te emsneipute hlmsetf from tbe potent influence of Camp 20, Clan-na Gael. He Is the ofllcer who months age took Offlcsr Ceuglilln from the superinten dent's office te a cell In tlie Chicago avenue police station, after Mayer Cregier, Super Super Intendent Hubbard, lawyer Hyncs, W. P. Rend and ethers had listened te bis reasons for having Dlnan's whlte horse. The re sult of that conference was that the chief of police ordered Ceuglilln te be locked up, nnd called lit Flynn te perform the duty. Frem that day te this, nothing was dene or said by Flynn te indicate that anything was discovered that night that would be of importance te the Prosecutors or te the police. On Friday Flynn remarked te his superior officers that tliore was a "llttle matter he had forgotten" that might be worth loeKlnglnto as implicating Ceughlln. That such a remark should be inade by an ofllcer whose oxpcrlenco told him that after the 'testimony closed, no mere could he presented, caused Flynn's superior te prick up his ears, and an Inquiry brought out the lemark from Flynn that en the night of Ceuglilin's arrest two pocket knives had been found In his possession. One was two-bladed and the ether had Tour blades and a penrl handle. "At Dan's request," said Flynn, "I locked them up In the Fidelity Safety Dopeslt vault for snfe keening. This confession of Flynn led te a con ference In the ofllce of tlie superintendent of nollce Frldav afternoon, at w hicli Fl vim was the visitor, When he omerged he looked thoroughly frightened. -Chief Hubbard visited tlie deposit vault and secured the two kiilvcs. Tliore was nothing ntieut thorn that Inoked suspicious, but small clues often lend te big results, and the chief took them te friends of the murdered doctor te sce If they amounted te an) thing. They wero promptly Identi fied by T, T. Cenklln aud his wlfe as knives that Mr. Cenklln had prosented te Dr. Crenln. Ktule Atterney Longeneckor succeeded In guttlug the case ro-epoucil for the ad mission oftlie new ovldence. It would be imposslble te depict the nppcaronce of Ceuglilln when Flynn was called and this damairiiig ovldence Introduced in court. His face p.iled, and as the knives wero placed In the bauds of Mr. Cenklln. he cast a hurried glance at thorn; and as Cenklln swore te thelr exact resemblance te the murdered man's prejicrty, he manifested downright terrer. At the conclusion of the testimony, the state attorney began his argument. He said in part: " The ovldence of consnireov is the sanie for a small oflense as It is for 11 great nfleUKO. The evl tenon of cnimntranv In obtain dollars and cents from you, or me. or any one clse, the ovldenco that would bring te your mind conviction of the guilt of men who are accused, must be Just as strong, although It only takes a ceuple of hours te try the case as If you nre trying men for murder. What I am trying te tinve you understand Is this, that' because this case Is se long, nnd bocause It has grown te be large and Important, you must net think it requires mera ovldenco te satisfy you en that account. If the ovldence convinces you of the guilt of the accused, then it inatters net whother theronre flve men or ten men en trial, or one man en trial. The ovldenco nocessary te cm vlnce you upon a reasonable doubt ofthe guilt of thetnen en trial should be Just its strong, as ir twenty inen wero en trial and yet need net be stronger than if one man were en trial. " Referring te tlie charge against Kunze, the sneaker said : " I deslroyeu te remem ber that, if a conspiracy has been formed te de u thing, If a conspiracy Is formed te commit a certain crime, wheever there after joins that conspiracy becomes a party te it, nnd Is bound by tlie nets which have geno before his Joining it. In ether words, if he is in the conspiracy, he is in Just as much, going In nt the last, as ha would be ifhe weut in et the first." Colebrntod Thelr Gelden Wedding. EuzADEniTew.v, Nev. 2.1.

TUB CAUCUS IN DETAIL, The fleer of the Heuso presented a busy scene this morning as early as ten o'clock, although neon was the hour fixed for the meeting ofthe caucus, which was te decide who should presldoevortlio deliberations of the Heuso during the ftlst Congress. Members nssombled In groups te talk ever the situation and the friends of the various candidates were earnest In thelr efforts te add te tlie strength eflhelr fuvor fuver fuvor Ites. The first of tlie candidates te put In tin appearance wns Mr. Cannen, of Illinois. Shortly afler 10 o'clock he arrived at the capltel nnd took possession of the larger of the two rooms occupied by the committee ' en appropriations. There he awaited the coming of his active lloutennnts, Messrs, Poweli and Adams, of Illinois, who, when they arrived, went hard te work In behalf ofthe Illinois candidate Mr. Reed was the next candidate te reach thocapitel, and he Immediately went te the hall or the Heuso, and In his old scat re ceived the geed wishes of his supporters. Mr. McKlnley directed tils canvass from tlie room of the commlttee en rivers and harbors, nnd his chief lieutenant, Mr. Thompson, wns active in his efforts te pro pre vent any break In the ranks of the Ohie man.. The Michigan delegation secured tlie room of Iho committer en naval affairs fnritsenndidtte, and Mr. Burrewes smil ingly wolcemcd nil Comore. Mr, Hender Hender eon, of Iowa, was the neighbor of Mr. Cannen, occupying the smaller room of the appropriation committee, and was tlie recipient of many geed wishes. Promptly at neon the caucus was called te order by Secretary McCemns. Mr. Can-, non, of Illinois, holds ever as chairman of the caucus, but in view of his candidacy for speakership he retlred, and Mr. Hen Hen dereon, et Illinois, was olectud chairman.

Mr, Mudd, the contestant for Mr. Compten's seat from the Fifth Maryland district, occu pied a seat ou the fleer but took no part In the proceedings. The first business trans acted was the adoption of a resolution that balloting for thn speakership should be epen. TIIK. COUNTV'H 1IIO CLAIM. The City Sued Fer lUt,(UT.n, Paid Fer i"TMt Damages. Gcnrge A. Lane, county solicitor, late this tftorneon en behalf of the county com missioners entered a suit in the court of common pleas against tlie city of Lancaster. The suit Is te recover 9101, 017.1H) alleged te be due bv the city te county, for damages paid by the county te preperty owners in the city, in street open ings. A statement of the account was sent te the mayor about ten days age and that ofll efll clal relerred It te the finance committee. Iho llnance committee has met a ceuple of times since Iho communication has been In their hands but took 110 action en it. This suit will be contested 011 the part of the city and overy legal technicality will be taken advantage of, but the stulute of limitation will be the main defonse. HU that defense uvulls it will cut off a large amount ofthe county's claim. If It docs net, thcre will Ik ether legal points raised. The probability is that the case will net be tiiiully adjudicated for several years. The commissioners will probably retain prominent couusel te assist the solicitor, and the finance commlttee will no doubt give City Solicitor Brown legal aid In tlie trial of thU Important case. e Ills WITe Was Ills Itollglen.
