Washington, Jan. 9. In the senate
today whait la known as the "Sibley"
tent' 'bill was taken up and discussed
till the close of the morning hour, when
It went over without action. Then the
Nicaragua canal bill was brought for-
Ooethe's Ylsit to Carlsbad.
There Is no doubt that the life of the
great poet was greatly prolonged by
drinking the waters of the Sprudvl
Spring. lu our day we have the Spru
dcl Spring brought to us in the form
of Salt, which is obtained by evapora
tion from the waters of Carlsbad.
The Carlsbad Sprudel salt powder

but is an alterative and diminutive
remedy which dissolves tenaeious bile,

tions by aiding nature. It acts sooth

TOR A CHINAMAN'S LOVE.
Millionaire Hip Lung's Wife Killed Her
Kivul.
By the United Press.
Chicago, Jan. 8, Minnie Myers, wife
of Hip Lung, the millionaire Chinaman,
is locked up at the Harrison Street Po
lice station on a charge of murder.
Kinma Johnson now lies dead at Jack
son's undertaking house, 2506 State
street, and It 'Was owing to a personal
request made by the coroner to the
police officials thnt the wife of the
Mogul Chinaman was taken into cus
tody charged with the woman's death.
The encounter between the two women,
who were rivnlB for Hip Lung's affec
tions, occurred last April. Miss Myers'
weapon was a two-edged Icnlfe and its
execution was deadly. In a minute or
two It had cut long gushes In Miss
Johnson's shoulders, arms, neck, and
breast, and the woman fell to the pave
ment, fainting from sheer loss of blood.
Minnie Myers escaped with a few
scratches. After a month or two Hip
Lung murried the victorious duelist
and the mutter was generally forgotten.
Miss Johnson never got well. She ral
lied und for mouths has been able to
go about carefully as an Invalid. A
week ago blood poisoning set in, result
ing in her death. The coroner at once
ordered the arrest of Mrs. Hip Lung
(nee Minnie Myers) and she was taken
Into custody.

INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.
The personal estate of the 'late E. B.
Lelsenrinsr has been appraised at
$1,983,964.33. -
The coal tonnage'of the Reading rail
road for the week ended Jan. 5, while
showing that the rentrictive policy bus
been continued by the dial and Iron
company, also shows heavier shipments
by 34,170 tons than during the same
week last year. The total was 104,698
tons, against ItiO.MS tons. For the fiscal
year to date the shipments have aggre
gated l.ll'J.TOS tons, against l,'iT,6liit
tons for the same time laBt year, a de
crease of i:i7,957 tons.
A W'ilkes-Barre dispatch says: "The
starvation story sent our from here to
the effect that there Is unusual distress
and miners arc starving, is exaggerat
ed. There are always casts of poverty
In this region, but the charitable or
ganizations are able to care for them.
The mines have been working with ac
customed regularity. Some miners with
large families have a hard time get
ting along; but those in real want are
cared for by tho public charities. There
are no cases of starvation."
William Hodgins, a stationary en
gineer In the employ of the Susquehan
na. Coal company nt Nunticoko for
twenty-live years, has recently patent
ed a high and low water alarm valve.
It Is self operating. When the water
Is low it gives an alarm by blowing
a. whistle, and when there is an over
flow of water It also gives the alarm.
It is easily fitted into horizontal or
cylinder boilers. Tho mechanism of
the double alarm is said by the Wilkes
Barre Itecord to be very Ingenious and
Its success Is alreudy certain as It is
simple, durable and reliable.
Speaking of the coal trade the New
York Engineering and Mining Journal
nays: "It Is an encouraging fact that,
despite 'the 'dullness of ithe market, we
hear of no flagrant case of low offers.
Of 'the companies we do not think tliat
a sLngle one its shading the circular.
Nektiher are 'Oho more prominent Indi
vidual operators; and some of the .mid
dlemen, w5io a font night or three weeks
ago had coal ito offer at less than the
companies' price, have, we understand,
now disposed of their stocks, which itihey
bought at low figures and could 'tihus
offer a,t a very falrconcesslon from the
ruling circular. It is fully recognized
by all Hhait to name lower prices would
not result In nuM'e business. The year
opens hotter han people expected in
Ootober and November. There Is evi
dent a desire to avoid the experience of
'the second half of 18i4. We cannot help
thinking, however, how well the corn-
parties restricted during the flrnt four
moHtihJ last year, and how on June 1 the
output for ithe live months showed a
decrease of nearly 3,000,000 tons, as com
pared with the corresponding period of
1893; and how, tn June, everybody threw
wQsdom and harmony to the dogs and
mined 5,112,000 tons, and began to shade
prices."
Philadelphia Record: "The report of
the Lehigh Valley Railroad company
tor me year onued Nov. 30. 1894,
wlil be read with Interest. The

117,497,140.80, aind has spent for operat
lng the road and for betterments $13..

Income from other sources, has been

of the strike have reduced the revenue

a combination of hard times and hard
luck sufficiently accounts for the fail
ure to pay dividends for 1894. The com
pany, with Um double-track completed

FATE OF CURRENCY BILL
The Measure Practically Snowed Un
der in the House.
DEMOCRATS NOT FAVORABLE
Republicans and Sliver Advocates Rcfuso
to Second Mr. Outhwuite's Demand
for the Previous Question on Pus
sago of tho Resolution,
By the United Press.
Washington, Jan. 9. The fate of tho
currency and 'banking' bill was prob
ably decided In the house today when
by vote of 130 to 124 It refused to sec
ond Mr. Ourhwaite's demand for tho
previous question on the passage of a
resolution reported from the committee
on rules regulating the further con
sideration of the bill. The Republi
cans voted against the rule because
they could get no modification of Its
terms by which they could be assured
of reaching a vote on the question of
rehabilitating state bunks, and the
radical silver men because they could
get no assurance that they would hava
an opportunity of voting on Mr.
island's substitute providing for the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
to 1. TTpon 'the announcement of the
result of tho vote, Mr. Outhwaite with
drew the resolution.
Mr. Outhwaite reported the resolu
tion from committee on rules to gov
ern the further consideration of the
currency bill. It provided fur the sub
stitution of the amended bill proposed
by Mr. Springer, Dec. 20 last, for the
pending bill; that it be considered un
der the five minute rule, unless dis
posed of, until 4.30 o'clock Friday and
Immediately after the expiration of the
morning hour on Saturday tho vote on
pending amendments and the passage
of the bill to be taken.
Mr. Dlngley, (Rep., Me.), suggested
to Mr. Outhwaite that a modlllcatlon
be made in the rule ao as to permit the
house flr.t to consider sections 9 and 10
of the bill relating to state banks, for
If they were not tobe rehabilitated, the
house' might change the details con
tained In the earlier sections.
Inquiries were made by Messrs.
rieltzhoover, (Dem., Pa.), and Mr.
Bland, (Dem., Mo.), as to the status of
the amendment the former proposes to
offer, authorizing the sale of $500,000,-
000 of Ibonds and, thesubstltute of which
the 'latter had given notice, providing
for the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1.
Would Accept No Compromise.
Mr. Outhwaite declined to enter Into
any arnangement respecting the Blaind
substitute or any other amendment.
In response to a question by Mr. Reed
(Rep., Me..), Mr. Outhwaite said the
object of the resolution was to bring to
a conclusion within 'a reasonable time
th? consideration of tho currency bill,
wii.ch had 'been before the house for
nearly two weeks. After some futher
discussion Mr. Outhwaite demanded
the previous question on the passage
of the resolution. A vote by yeas and
nays was demanded by Mr. Outhwaite,
and was 'taken, resulting, yeas, 124;
nays, 130.
Tin.1 Democrats who voted against the
resolution were: Messrs. Arnold,
lialley, rieltzhoover. Bland, Bryan,
(l.'tp'.'hart, Clark (Mo.). Cockrell, Coffe,
Ciinn, Cooper (Tex.), De Armond, Ed
munds, Kills (Ky.), Haines, Harris,
Hatch, Hooker, (Miss.), Hunter, Ikirt,

Xcill, Ogdon, Richardson (Mich.), Rob
ertson (L:t.), Shell, Sibley, Snodgrass,
Strait. 1 albert, Terry and Whiting and
McLaurln.
The result of the vote, which was re
garded as being the practical defeat of
the bill was tvci.lved in silence.
The chief Incident of Interest of the
afternoon was tho ringing speech by
Mr. llitt (Rep. 111.) upon the necessity
of locating L'nl'ted States consuls at
Krzuroum and Harpoot, Armenia, in
view of the recent massacre In that
country. They were ordered to be es
tablished without assenting vote.
BURGLARS SECURE $'20,000.
After Kunsncking n Hunk Vault They
Close the Door and Destroy the Lock.
My the United Press.
Defiance, O., Jan 9. The Merchants'
National bank of this city was broken
Into by burglars lasit Monday evening
and about $20,0u0 secured. The burg
lars entered the bank, opened the com
bination of the vault and 'then, with
either powder or dynamite, blew the
small safe Inside the vault to pieces.
After securing everything of value, tho
burglars closed the doors of tho vault
and battered the lock so that the baink
officials could not get It open the njxt
day.
The bank people did not suspect any
thing wrong, but thought the lock was
out of order and sent to Cincinnati for
an expert. He arrived today, and at
1 o'clock opened the safe, when the true
condition of affairs became known.
STOCKS AM) B0XDS.
New York, Jan. 9. During the
greater part of 'the day operators were
waiting for the result of the annual
meeting of the United States Cordage
and American Sugar companies, and as
a result speculation was at a very low
ebb. The conditions, however, were
firm, notwithstanding the strength of
sterling exchange and the almost unan
imous belief that large amounts of
gold will be exported by Saturday's
European steamers. When the decision
bill became known, however, more con
fidence was displayed and a sharp ad
vanoe followed. The market for the
first time In weeks Bhowed some signs
of life and operators covered short con
tracts and were disposed to buy for the
long account. The American Sugar
and linked States Cordage meetings
developed little of importance and had
no Influence on the market. The an
thraclle coalers were strengthened by
the decision of the Delaware and Hud
son directors to maintain its regular
dividend rate of 7 per cent, for the year,
The bulk of business was In the Indus
trial! Issues, but the railroad group
while quiet ruled firmer than of late.
Total sales were 122,375 shares, of which
71,500 shares were in the Industrials,
Net chatiges show-Bains of to 2-74 per
