The closing reception given by President Cleveland in honor el Congress, was the most numerously attended one of the season, while in magnificence of costume and tlie jewels worn by the ladies it eclipsed any of its predecessors. The death of U. S- Senator Mil ler, of California in Washington last week, will still further reduce the small Republican majority Li the Senate. California has a Democrat ic Governor at present, who will undoubtedly appoint a member of Skis own party U fill the unexpired term, which ends in 1SS7. President Cleveland wishes the public ta understand that be is not a public but private functionary, and all the Executive business which the Administration spreads upon the files of the Departments is his own private affair. Cleveland is the first of twenty-two Presidents to look at it in that way. Says the Pittsburgh I' ny I'rexs: The talk of General Hartranft as a candidate for Governor against Bea ver is absurd ; likewise the name of Major Mou tooth's name in the same connection. It is doubtful if tiitre will be a single delegate in the con vention without instructions ftr Beaver. It is absolutely certain that tbe one legged veteran will get Uk; nomination by an overwhelming majority on the first ballot. ew York Urrald: Mr. Edmunds made very broad claims for the Sen ate as against the Presideut s refusal, l)utouly. will be seen, on the ground iucoutrovertiole in our judgment that Congress, and "either Houses of Congress," as he says, has of ne cessity the right to -iplore at any ud all times every uook aud cran ny of the executive offices end acts. The liberties of the country would not be worth ten years' purchase if' the people were to be denied this figfet, and Congress, in demanding and if necessary in .enforcing ft, is ouly tike representative of the people. Senator Eomcnds spoke fjr two Lour and a half on Tuesday in ar raigniog the Presided for refusing to send papers to the Secate.

THK VERCER ASYLt Xt. Erie, Pa., March 14 Major J. W. Wallan, of the Grand Aruiy Com inir.ee appointed by Scott Post to join Gov. Pattison in the investiga tion of the Soldiers' Orphans' School at Mercer, commenced work here with ex-inmates of the school. The committee summoned before it the Mometv girls. Clara and Carrie, who were reontJy taken away from the echool. The giris jave their ev idence very reluctantly, but if true, is nevertheless important, and is harrowing the friends of the hund red of children who were sent to Mercer from this section. The buildings, in addition to being- ill adapted, are so dilapidated that the inmate suCer with cold in winter weather. The girls are joined by the Hammer boys in the statement, that the food is ot the poorest kind, com posed of offscourings and refuse gathered up in the different sections by the syndicate, and that fresh but ter is an unknown quantity except ing when visitors are expected. The meat served has been so wormy that the inmates sickened at the sight, but were restrained from complain ing by the fear of punishment. But two tubs are furnished in arch de partment for bathing, and but eix towels to each ward are allowed, and sometimes none. The school has between 200 and 300 inmates. The witnesses disagree about the bedding bnt agree that the sheets are only charged once in two or three weeks. The Hammer boys tnd others were beaten with white thorn rods until the blood came through their clothes, and others were beaten in a similar manner. A great deal of, devilty is carried on, and their vie tims are cruelly treated by their I companions if they are caught tell-' iog tal&r. All letters are examined beJore they are mailed, and, if they ! contain com plaints, they are de-! stroyed, and the writers intimidated. A Steamboat KxplosWwi. Vicksbcrg, March 12. The steamer Ike Bonham, which left here yesterday for Boyou Vidal, ex ploded her boiler when eleven miles beJow the city, and a short distance from Bedford Point, on the Louis iana shore. William H. Andrews, the mate, and several colored men of the deck crew were blown over board and drowned. E. P. McEI roy, the pilot, and Charles Girard, the engiueer, white men, were seri ously scalded and bruised. The steamer L. H. Sargent of tbe same line, bound for Davis Eend, was about a mile distant from the Ike Bonham when the accident occur red. She immediately headed for the Bonham and reached her as the wreck drilted on the bar and settled down in three feet of water. The Sargent arrived here last evening witn the wounded. None of tbe bodies of the drowned had been recovered. Engineer Charles Girard on the Ike Broham makes this statement : ' Pilot McElroy was in command and Mr?. William Sargent was in charge of the office. I had just tried tbe water in the boiler and found scant two gauges. I had left the wheel and gone back in the cabin to dinner, leaving Andrews steering. In an instaut the schock came. I was knocked down and hot bricks almost covered me. They were call ing for help. The explosion tore away the office, pilot house, chim neys, forward boiler deck, and all the forward part of the cabin, throw ing them into the river. Six dock hands were all blown overboad, only one of whom was rt covered. All on board were scalded except Mrs. Sargent. Immediately after the explosion she took command of the boat, went below, helped to launch the yawl, and commanded those who were able to rescue those in the river. By this time the debris around the boiler had caught fire, and she seized the draw bucket. drew water from the river and quenched the flames, after which she took a shovel and threw tne reu hot furnace brick overboard. Mrs. Sargent by her heroism saved the wreck from burning, and w ith it my life mid those of the other wounded on board. " Capt. Sargent is in San Antonio, where he has gone for his health. Durinji his absence his wife has had the management of his boats, which woik she has always done succesi fully. While the "wreck of the Ike Brohflu) was burning, her clothing caaght lire several times, but she tore oti the burning fragments.

A Joliet, 111., special to the Erening AVer says : One of the most dariug and bloody express robberies ever perpetrated in Illinois occurred on the Chicago, Rock Island & 'Pacific wi st bound express hut night, between this place and Morris. The facts, as learned frrn the bag gage man, are that shortly fter lUe train, which leaves here at 12:45 a. m., had left this city, he beard a rap at the baggage car door. Thinking it was the express messenger, he opened the door and was met by masked robbers, who covered him with revolvers and demanded his key to the express car. The key was given up and one robber, who was on top of the baggage car, held a re volver on the baggageman through a transom in the roof of the car, while his confederates turned their attention to the express car. It is thought that they rapped on the express car door and informed the messeuger, II. S. Nichols, that the baggageman wanted to get in. At any rate the express car door was opened and the desperadoes entered. Then occurred one of the bloodiest and most desperate struggles on rec ord. Being confronted by the mur derous villains, the messenger fought for his life and the property in his trust. The interior of the express car shows that he fought the robbers from one end of the car to tbe other, but at last the murderous blows that they rained on his head witb an iron poker forced him to succumb and he was left dead in the car. The robbers rifled his pockets of the keys to the safe, which thev robbed of all its contents, variously estimated at from 825,000 to $100,000. Cheeks and valuable packages not contain ing motiey they left scattered about the floor. Nothing was known of the occur rence unlil the train reached Morris, the first stop west of hereexcept the coal chute where the train stopped to take on coal. At Morris the lo cal express messenger rapped on the express car door, but as the sum mons was not answered it was thought that the train messenger was asleep. Upon the door of the car being opened the horrible evi dence ot tne dtsper.ite struggle and the dead body ot Messenger Nichols were discovered. In one hand that wu clutched the dead hero had a lock of dark-colored hair that he must have torn from the head of one of the assailants. The ne'w was at once telegraphed to Ottawa, and Sheriff Reiliy and Ciiief-of-Police Murray at once or ganized a por-se and started on a special engine for MlTis. stopping or. the way at the coal chute two tnib's west af here, to see if they could find where the desperadoes boarded the train. At that point snow was falling lightly and the trac ks, if any, ere covered. A large force of officers and men from this place and Morris ar now scouring the country, and it is thought the guilty men will be cap tured, in whioh event they will prob ably be lynched, a pubiie opinion in this town is at fever heat and it will not be safe for the murderers to be brought here. The dead messenger 'tas a mnrried man and lived in Chicago. He has Itt'. o in the service of the United States lCinres. Company about ten years and was one of their most trust ed employes. Where the robbers boarded the tii;n js as yet mere speculation.

When Dr. Samuel Weiss drove to the Lebanon County Almshouse yesterday morn ing to make bis daily visit he found ninety-six ofthe 10") inmates writh ing, retching and moaning. They had all dra-ik poisoned coffee for breakfast, and from a little babe of 10 months to Mrs. Sarah Lausch, tottering with the infirmity of over four score years, all were suffering indescribable aony. Thirty gal lons of poisoned coffee had been dealt out for Wednesday 's breakfast, and every one who partook of it was a ftfcii.f iiil Ir, tir.-, irdi'tiiM cr.tiro ected. In two instances Smith, wild and son were suddenly prostrated in their room shortly af ter the meal, and Mrs. Jacob Schell and her four children were similar ly affected.

Short who are still confin 1 to their beds ami not positively out of danger. All the others are ible to be about, but suffer intense piii!is in the stomach and head, ac companied by nausea and a partial paralysis of the limbs. Nine of tbe victims are weak .-minded and their sufferings were pitiful. John W. Diechly, who is Ct years old, blind and crazy, was one of the most unfortunate. Having drank but little of the poisoned coffee, he w;is affected the most severely, and in his helpless condition his distress was terriole. The poisoning was undoubtedly an attempt to kill the entire population of the institution and is supposed to have been the work of a tramp, who left the almshouse in a fit of anger on Tuesday. Superintendent Fre linghuysen said to the I'ms corres pondent to-night: "I am certain the desperate act was not committed by any inmate.
