SO ACTIOS YET TAKEN CJ TEE KENNEDY CASE
Langston, the colored man from Vir
ginia, does not yet occupy a seat in the
House of Representatives. Speaker Heed
made a vigorous efiort to secure the nec
essary quorum, but he was baffled at every
;urn. No attempt -was made to loct the
doors. Several Republican kickers are
acting with the Democrats in the contest
case.
rSPECIAL TELEOBAH TO THE DISPATCII.1
Washington, September 19. Again
the Democrats succeeded in wasting the
Urn 's session of the House completely, and
"Tom" Reed's so-called tyrannical rules
could no more avail to keep them indoors
than if the walls of the Capitol were made
of cardboard. The Speaker was successful
in catching and caging a quorum, alter re
peated and amusing trials, upon the ques
tions of the approval of the journal, the
calling of the previous question on the
Langston-Venable contested election case
and the resolution of the minority declaring
in favor of Venable's election, and the Re
publicans were led for a littie whye to be
lieve the Democrats had tired of their ob
struction. That this conclusion was ridicu
lous was soon proven.
Playing With the Bijr fcpoakcr.
The Democrats were merely toying with
the Speaker and his party. All the votes
taken were merely formal and entirely un
important. "When it came to the test vote,
upon the resolution of the majority declar
ing Langston to be the legally elected Rep
resentative of the Fourth Virginia district,
the quorum disappeared as though by
magic
Of course a call of the House followed
and the invisible Democrats became sud
denly visible, entering voluntarily, or at
the request of some one of the officers of
the House. This was all very nice and
easy, but to hold the birds after they were
caught was different. The moment the roll
call began nearly all of the Democrats left
the hall, and they were not compelled to
kick down the doors to get out.
The Doors Were Not Locked.
The latch string hung in a convenient
place on the inside. Repeated calls of the
House were followed by the disappearance
of a quorum almost as soon as it was
formed, and when the time was still far
short of the usual hour of adjournment
everybody agreed to a cessation of tbe
formal nonsense, and a recess was taken till
the evening session, which was devoted to
private pension bills.
Many amusing incidents occurred during
tbe roll calls. If a Democrat stuck his nose
inside the doors cf the House Speaker Reed
uld count him before he could get away.
Tuus Objector Holman peeped once, and he
was c unted in a loud voice by Reed, and
great laughter and guying of Holman fol
lowed 1 ue Speaker attempted to take a very cute
tn itch on tbe Democrats on one call by de
claring 1G4 a quorum, which is now a ma
ju, ty 01 the living membership of the
House. He quietly remarked that distin
guished Speakers of the House had estab
lished this precedent, and among them no
less a personage than Mr. Randall.
An Ippcal in the Nick ofTirae.
The Democrats were paralyzed for a
moment, and then protested and appealed.
The Speaker xras unable to show up his
precedent. In the words of Kilgorc, of
Toxas, "Tom's bluff didn't work. He was
called, and had to forfeit the pot." Had
the Democrats hesitated a moment longer
than they did the point would have been
decided and out of the way, and an import
ant precedent established. Reed got out of
it by remarking that he could not at once
place nis hand on his authority, and, there
fore, as he himself was really ot the opinion
that a majority ot all the members originally
clerted should constitute a quorum, he
would make no decision.
In the course of Crisp's argument upon
tbe point of order he referred to the decis
ions made at the beginning of the war.
whereupon the Speaker suggested sotto voce
that there was a necessity for similar decis
ions now. Mr. Crisp retorted that he was
arguing a serious matter and would not
notice side-bar and undignified remarks.
Colls It a r-ccond Secession.
Mr. Honfc, of Tennessee, relerring to the
desertion of the Democratic side, said that
it was a familiar repetition of secession.
Mr. Crisp said he would not go into the
question of secession with the gentleman
from Tennessee. That was a long way be
hind him. Mr. Houk retorted that he was
referring to the present secession.
Mr Cnvp thought that it was sufficient to

reply that the absent members believed that
when the majority had given notice that it
was going to unseat an elected member the
majority must have a quorum.
The point of order was also discussed by
Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, Mr. Holman, of
Indiana, and Mr. Reilly, of Pennsylvania.
Representative Walker, of Massachu
setts, believing that the picture of the
Honse in its present condition of Demo
cratic depletion would form a good Repub
lican campaign document, to-day secured
the services of two photographers to repro
duce in counterteit presentment both sides
of the chamber.
The Cnmcra In Politics.
The photographer in the gallery above the
Democratic side looked down upon an array
ot empty seats, while the artist on the ma
jority side directed his camera upon a goodly
proportion of Republican Representatives.
The half-dozen Democrats present were un
aware that their portraits were being taken,
and the Republicans were careful to with
draw from the Democratic side all the pages
and doorkeepers who might tend to swell the
Democratic representation.
It is not probable that a quorum of Re
publicans will be together to-morrow, as
only two or three additions have arrived to
day, bnt it is held to be quite certain that
tbe absent Republicans will be here by
Monday, and it is expected that on that day
Langston will be seated, though Cheadle,
of Indiana, and Coleman, of Louisiana, the
two Republicans who voted against Lang
ston to-dav, claim they will have other
Republican votes with them on the final
roll call. Lightner.
FINANCIAL PLANS.
THE BILL TO INCREASE NATIONAL BANK
CIRCULATION.
Scnntors Sherman nnd Plomb for Once
Jfenrlr Corns to an Aerccment A Propo
sition to Pass tho Measure in nn
Amended Form.
"Washington, September 19. House
bill to reduce the amount of United States
bonds to be required of national banks,
and to restore to the channals of trade the
excessive accumulations of lawful money in
the Treasury, having been reached on the
Senate calendar, Mr. Sherman said tha't he
believed its passage would tend very much
to quiet even the present agitation in the
money market The second section would
allow an increase of national bank notes to
the amount of 11,000,000 or S12,000,000 by
authorizing circulation to the full face
value (instead of 90 per cent) of the
bonds deposited to secure circulation. He
could not tell, however, what the effect of
the first section would be, which reduces
the compulsory requirement of bond de
posits in order to have the rieht to carry on
business to 51,000, because if the bonds to
be withdrawn were sold that would tend to
reduce circulation. Bnt, as the banks had
now the right to retire circulation and sell
their bonds, it seemed to him that that
process had been going on, and that the
passage of the bill would tend to check it
and would induce the National banks to
issue circulation to the full amount ot their
bonds deposited.
.Mr. Plumb said the Dill had to a certain
extent merit, but he feared that it would
finally result in a contraction of the cur
rency. While he agreed that the national
banking system, as a svstem of discount nnd
I deposit, was wise, and oughtto be continued.
I : ... !.:.. v- ...;. , '
i. tins jjiaiu w uc tceu mat ii was not long
to be a system having relation to the cur
rency. Congress conic not rfford to let the
national bank currency disappear without
supplying a currency in its place. He be
lieved that the business of the country was in
greater peril than it bad been for years from
the lack of a sufficient circulating medium.
Disaster might be avoided, but the country
was dangerously near it now, and would
continue so until it had a larger volume of
currency.
Mr. Power moved to strike out the first
section (reducing to 51,000 the deposit of
bonds to retain charters). Mr. Sherman
said he had no objection to having the first
section struck out, and to passing the bill
with the second section alone, which would
add 10 per cent to tbe bank circulation.
Alter further discussion the bill went over
till to-morrow, retaining its place on the
calendar.
PE0GBESS OF. THE CONFERENCE.
Trying to Reach n. Compromise on
the
Metal, Glass nnd Pottery Dalles.
IFHOM A STAFP COnRESPOJtPENT.J
Washington, September 19. With rec
iprocity agreed to, with a promise in sight
on the sugar schedule, binding twine and
other minor matters, it would seem that the
conferees on the tariff bill were well on their
way to the time when a report can be made
to the House. There is much in dispute yet,
however, and two or three days may
elapse before the Republicans of the
committee can adjust all their differences
and go tbrouzh the formality of considering
the bill in full committee. There is a warm
contert over the metal and glass schedules
and pottery is still unsettled. The Senate
conferees insist on the Senate rates, especial
ly as to steel manufactured, and the House
conferees hold well together for the House
rates, Messrs. Burrows and Dingley feel
ing that they cannot, even it they so de
sired, go against their colleagues," Bayne
and McKinley.who so fully and competently
represent the great and wealthy regions
where these manufacturers rule supreme.
An inclination has been shown to com
promise upon the most important items by
granting something near the Senate fizures
on billets and structural steel, and a close
approximation ot the House rates upon steel
rail and plates, but nothing is fiuallv de
cided. Among gentlemen interested in the
adjustment of the medal schedule in the in
terests of manufacturers, instead of the re
election of Western Senators, who are here
to-day, are Mr. Harry Oliver, of Pittsburg
and Mr. James M. Swank, of Philadelphia,
and the glass and pottery interests are also
represented by the manufacturers, who have
been here for several days anxiously using
all the influence they can and impatiently
awaiting the outcome.

and prostitution of the ballot in South Car

in all sections without regard to race or
party; endorses the Administration of Pres
ident Harrison; approves the course of
Speaker Reed, and regrets the failure of

F. H. Deas, colored, of Darlington, offered
tbe following:
Resolved. In order to secure a just, liberal
and impartial administration for all tbe people
of the State, regardless of party or color, the
members of this convention hereby determine
to support at the polls as their choice for tho
Governorship, Jude A. C. Haskell, of this
city, and that tho State Executive Committee
be instructed to carry out the wishes of the
convention In this respect.
Deas' speech in support of his resolution
was the sensation of tne convention. He
took the ground that the convention had a
splendid opportunity to do something to
show to the people of the State that tbe Re
publicans of South Carolina bad some re
gard for decency and good govenment and
some detestation of "Tillmanism." All
over the State it was being asked if Re
publicans would not have the man
hood and courage to put up a
ticket, either Republican or Democratic,
lor which the decent element of the State
could vote. He, for one, wanted decency or
wanted nothing. All of the trouble in the
State came lrom the rule of illiterate whites,
and he did not want that to go on any
longer. After much speechmaking the con
vention decided not to adopt the resolution,
judge Haskell is a leading anti-Tillman-ite,
and one of the ioremost Democrats of
South Carolina, with a fine military and
civil record. No nominations for State
offices were made, and the convention ad
journed sine die.

result of their investigation. The com
mittee was thanked and discharged, and
the following resolution was passed:
Resolved, That we commend the action of

and Mercer counties as expressed in their re
port, and deplore the action of the members
from Butler and Beaver counties in calling a

ranted and not in accordance with the rules
governing nominations in this district, nor in

and pledge him our earnest support.
Resolved. That no primaries wertf hold, nor

direction of this committee for the election of
delegates to tbe so-called Congressional con
ference, which is reported to be convened at
Harmony, Butler county, on September 23,

delegate to represent tho Republicans of
Mercer county in said convention.
In the case of C. J. Law, Republican can
didate for Recorder, who is charged with
bribery, the accused made a statement to
the committee in which he said that on be
ing repeatedly urged to pay the legitimate
expenses that had been incurred during his
canvass, he finally consented to do so, and
Stewart withdrew, and that he (Law) did
not know of the criminal nature of the trans
action, and was willing to abide by the de
cision of the committee. A committee of
five was -appointed to investigate and re

IN A CANADIAN PRISON.
MUROERER BURCHELL'S TRIAL WILL
SHORTLY BEGIN.
Indicted by tho Grand Jury Glimpses of
the Prisoner He Appears Buoyant and
Cheerful Pathetic Meeting Between
Husband nnd Wife.
Woodstock, Ont., September 19. The
grand jury this afternoon indicted J. Regi
nald Burchell for tbe murder of Frederick
C. Benwell' Arrangements have been com
pleted between the counsel on each side, and
nnless something extraordinary happens be
tween now and 10 o'clock Monday morning,
the case will be taken up then. A reporter
was permitted this afternoon by the officials
to take a look through the jail around
which so much interest seems to center now.
The reporter caught a glimpse ot Burchell
as ha was passing downstairs with Turn
key Forbes to enjoy a half hour's exercise
in the yards. The prisoner wore a black
suit of clothes, had a clean shave, and was
enjoying his after-dinner smote as
he sauntered through the hall.
Around his neck was a loosely-tied
red handkerchief, while his hat was
a stiff black Christie of the latest style.
He glanced at the reporter as he went out,
and in the yard be chatted as freely as ever
with his guard and -the other prisoners. In
his conversation he appears buoyant and
cheeriul, but a look into bis face tells better
than words that he passes many sleepless
nights.
Benwell's day cell is in the northeast cor
ridor upstairs and is comfortably carpeted.
On one side is a flower stand, with fragrant
geraniums, while in the back of the cold,
dismal room is a table strewn with sketches
and scraps of paper. The prisoner appears
to be well supplied with reading matter,
for,besides newspapers, there are many works
of fiction and other books. "TheStory of Three
Sisters" is his favorite novel, and he has
read this over many times. The wall is
promiscuously covered with Burchell's
paintings and drawings, his favorite subject
being horses and jockeys. Occasionally he
draws pen'and ink sketches of ballet girls
and other figure sketches that show the
prisoner to be quite an artist
Burchell's wife is fast failing in health.
Until recently she had borne up under a
great physical effort, but now that her hus
band is about to be put upon trial for mur
der she bas become subject to hysterical fits
of crying that leave her almost prostrated.
The following appears in a local paper:
"Op, Wednesday night Sir. Burchell r&
.tjred JwlipgpeThnprTnortf despondent than
'ever. -. She had a strange presentiment that
unless she saw her husband that night she
would never see him again alive. She at
once got up and dressing herself went
to -the jail where, after many
pleadings as only a wife can
plead, she was permitted to see her husband.
The meeting between, the two is said to have
been most affecting. They embraced each
other for some minutes and wept like
children. The jail officials who stood by
were likewise moved to tears and were glad
when the scene was over."

rSFECIAX. TELEOEAM TO THE DISPATCtf.l
Chester, September 19. Considerable
excitement was caused late last night by the
discovery that a number of counterfeit $2
bills had been passed on the different hotels
and barrooms. Several men appeared in
town yesterday with a plentiful supply of
tbe queer, and proceeded to get rid of it in
the quickest possible manner. The anxiety
to work the town tor all it was worth, caused
the arrest of one of the shovers.
He appeared in the barroom of
the Colonnade Hotel, and successfully
passed one bill on the bartender. He then
got a bystander to change a second one,
after which be tried to pass a third. The
proprietor of the house, ex-Chief of Police
Theodore S. Williamson, suspecting that
something was wrong, arrested him.
He was given a bearing to-day before
Magistrate Allen, and, as the evidence was
conclusive, he was held in $1,000 bail to ap
pear before tbe United States Commissioner
at Philadelphia. His confederates escaped
capture, but they were successful in passing
quite a number of the notes before leaving
town. At least half a dozen hotels and a
greater number of saloons were victimized.

was at once taken of their lands and out
houses. Three other tenants were left in
possession of their dwelling houses owing to
the illness of several members of their fami

treatment for two 'months, as she had been
suffering from heart disease. On being
evicted she was placed in a sitting posture
in the yard attached to her house.
After the Sheriff's party had left she
fainted. An army surgeon was sent for,
who, after examining her, advised the land
lord's agent to allow her to return to the
bouse. She was therefore carried back and
the rest of her family permitted to return
with her, and she remained insensible for
overman hour. There was no resistance
anywhere, and the evictions will be con

Berlin, September 19. The scare caused
by the alleged seeing of ghosts by tbe chil
dren in the different schools has not by any
means died ont. Another case of this sort,
which will most likely end fatally, has just
been reported from the suburb -t ricd
riebsberg. Elsie Marschner, a child . ars
of age, was locked up in a room on ''the
third story while her stepmother went out
shopping. Suddenly the neighborhood was
startled by her screams, and hurrying! to
the house they heard her crying that the
ghosts were choking her.
They tried in vain to pacify her from the
outside, and presently tbey were startled to
see her rush to the window and jump
through it. She fell to the ground with a
sickening thud, and on being picked up it
was found that she was terribly bruised and
cut, her right leg was broken and six of her
teeth were knocked out The result of this
is that she is suffering from brain fever,
and is now dying.

TBT DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPANY.
Berlin, September 19. To-day it would
seem that tbe entire population of this city
was crowding and crushing round the mag
nificent house, No. 134 Friedrichstrasse, the
residence of the retired merchant, Herr
Funcbs, in which four young lives were lost
this morning through abject cowardice and
official stupidity. At 3 o'clock this morn
ing fire broke out on the fiist floor. The
governess of Funcbs' two daughters, Irma,
aged 14, and Crete, aged 10, gave the first
alarm to the father and his four sons, who
were sleeping on the same floor, but in
another wing of tbe flat The father, gov
erness and sons made theii escape and ran
for the fire brigade, leaving the two children
and the servants in the blazing bouse. The
gallant fire brigade arrived at the scene of
action in about 20 minutes, and tbe first
action of tbe commander was to order some
gentlemen who volunteered to rescue the
children from the fiery furnace to desist
from their brave efforts until he had sent to
the engine house for some non-inflammable
suits of clothing, whereby eight more
minutes were lost
When the valiant firemen were fully
equipped in their safety coats they ventured
to bring out tbe children and August
Domske and Louis Graeger, servants, all of
whom were covered with dreadful burns
and in fact charred to the very bones. Sur
geons were sent for and arrived at 4:15, but
the victims were dead before their arrival.
Berlin is wild with indignation at tbe
cowardice of four stalwart men sl'.owiog
their little" sTrtcrs to 'be a whole hour in the
burning house without an effort to save
them, and also at the stupid dilatoriness of
the commander of the fire brigade.
THE WRONG PERSONS SHOT.
Tbreo Young Recruits Court-Martlaled for
the Murder of n Qanrtermaster.
CBY DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPANT.I
Paris, September 19. From Warsaw in
Poland, comes a very distressing case of
miscarriage of justice which occurred there.
A quartermaster of a dragoon regiment
quartered at Sielce, was found dead in the
streets, with his skull cleft Three young re
cruits of the regiment were arrested near the
spot and as the quartermaster, who had the
reputation of being a martinet, had often re
ported them for punishment drill, they were
suspected of tbe murder, tried by court
martial and sentenced to deatb. Tbe
parents of the lads tried to procure a re
prieve with a view to reopening tbe case,
and offered heavy bail. The father of one
of tbcm, M. Pupon, a millionaire of Mos
cow, undertook to deposit 100,000 roubles
for that purpose, but all their entreaties
were unavailing, and the three recruits were
executed by order of the Governor General
without even the delay necessary to receive
an answer to a petition for reprieve.
Two days after the execution the wife of
a furrier of Sielce informed the military au
thorities that tbe real murderer was her bus
band, who had discovered that she had inti
mate relations with the quartermaster. This
shameful miscarrirge of justice has created
a great sensation throughout the country.

The cannon ball express on the Reading

The ill-fated trah.Jir No. 3 express,
betier known as the v jon ball train,"
and leaves Philadelphia at Thirteenth and,
Callowbill street station at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. She left on time to-day at Phila
delphia, but was several minutes late in
leaving the outer station here, owing to tbe
large crowds who were about returning
home from the Berks county fair and who
had gathered at that station to take the
train.
A CROWDED TRAIN.
Several extra cars had to be added to the
already well-filled coaches, which all in all
caused a delay of some 15 minutes. The
train pulled out with its human freight,
and when she was once beyond tbe numer
ous side tracks about a mile north of the
city the engineer began making up lost
time, and on tbe train sped and in a few
seconds was running at lightning speed.
Everything went along all right and every
one on board was happy, and glad to get
home after a tiresome day spent in sight
seeing.
Suddenly the scene was changed into one
of a terrible railroad wreck, and there was a
crash, a rumbling of the passenger coaches
over the ties, and down went the engine,
tank, baggage, express, parlor and two
passenger coaches into the creek which
borders tbe road at that point The sight
was a heartrending one, the escaping steam
added to the horror, and but for the two
bsggage and express cars which preceded
the passenger coaches, hundreds would have
been literally cooked alive.
FLOCKING TO THE SCENE.
The crash was heard for' a great distanc,
and hundreds of people from the village
and the surrounding country were soon at
the scene of the wreck. The cause of the
accident, it has been learned, was by a num
ber of wrecked coal cars, which had been
thrown in the way of tbe passenger train.
This first wreck was caused by a collision
between a freight and coal train. Tbe coal
train had pulled on past the station at
Shoemakersville going south and was run
ning at a moderate speed, part of her train
having torn loose, when suddenly a freight
which followed, came thundering around a
curve, and before the engineer could stop
his train it crashed into the rear of the coal
train and threw a number of loaded coal
cars across the northbound track.
Tbe cannon ball express was then due,
and before the danger signal could be given
she came in sight and tbe engineer, John
White, did al! he could to avert the acci
dent, but without avail, and when the en
gine struck the wrecked coal cars she left
the track and carried the cars as above men
tioned down a steep embankment, and pre
cipitated them into the creek 30 feet below.
AN AWFUL SIGHT.
Then came the most awful sight ever wit
nessed at that small village. Women
screamed, children cried and men moaned.
Willing hands at once set to work, and
within a short time some 40 injured had
been removed and several killed were also
taken out
The railroad officials at once sent a special
train from here to the scene of tbe wreck
with a dozen physicians and couches for the
relief of the injured. This train arrived at
the wreck about balf an hour after it hap
pened, and the injured who had been taken
out before the special arrived were first at
tended to and placed in the baggage coaches
brought for the purpose. One after another
wes taken from under tbe wrecked can
bleeding and mangled until the scene re
sembled a battlefield upon which many had
been killed and injured by flying bullets.
The attention of the wreckers who arrived
half an hour afterward was attracted to
hoisting the wrecked cars out of the Schuyl
kill river, into which they had been thrown,
and then tbe work of rescuing those pinioned
fast in the wreckage was begun. Cries from,
many quarters came for help, especially
from mothers who were fast and unable to
extricate t' emselves with babes in their
arms.
"Ob, my God, have merejr upon me,"
came from dozens, and the sight was too
awful to look upon.
KILLED AND INJTJBED.
The killed taken out of the wreck up to
midnight are six in number, though various
reports say there are at least 30 killed. Tho
list follows:
WILLIAM D. SHOMO, Reading, body badlr
