A BAND OF FILLIBUSTERS. Th Tariff Smashers Fighting the Direct Tax Refunding Bill. Washijeoto. D. C-, April 4. After keep ing quiet during one session, the Mills men broke loose again to-day. On Monday tltey fought the rword of the Committee on Rules directing the Refunding IHreet-tax bill to be taken np Tuesday and to-day. Yesterday the bill was only opfiosed in a dry wort of a way, (kites, of Alabama, and one or two others taking up the time of the House in 1 ng-winded s.xvrhes, but this afternoon they made good their threats and began to fi libnsler in the most approved manner. The oiposition was led by Oates, McMillen, of Tennessee, ami Rrccken ridge, of Kentucky, all members of the innermost circle of Seak er Carlisle's advisers. 11 ia in sympathy with thtm, though he gave no aid. Either of these three gentlemen is ready at anytime lo denounce the methods of this afternoon whenever used against them. SOHETIIIKu ABOCT THE DIL. Tiie Direct tax billl (tasked the Senate by a large majority and was favorably reported to the House by the Judiciary Committee. The bill provides lor tiie refunding of the direct tax levied during the war, and which was paid by some states and not hy others. Justice requires that either the taxes paid shall be refunded or that all the states should be made to pay op. The sum involved amounts to altout $17,000,000, nearly all of which would go to the Northern States, Pennsylvania's share alone amounting to altout Ji.DOO.oon. A majority in tho House is in favor it, but the Mills faction is deter mined it shall not (tass for two reasons. First, the command lias gone forth that the Ilemocratic platform must be adopted before the convention meets, and the tariff must lie cut to pieces before any other legislation is jossed ; second, Cleveland muit be pro leeled iu the matter cf vetoes. If it can be belicd no veto message which would alien- ale the Democracy of any faction is to come from the White House. It is very generally feared Ihat the President would veto this Ii-rc-t tax and thett there would Ite a howl such a bow l as loses Voles. The Republicans are taking this fdlihus- tering very calmly. Tlieir turn is to come, and the outlook for Mr. Mills and bis Dem ocratic platform is not pleasing. With the Republicans virtually united and a few tariff Democrats besides, there is scarcely any tell ing what obstruction may lie placed in the way of Mr. Mills. The gentleman is now at Fortress Monroe trying to gain strength enough to meet the issue, and be will need it, for his (s'tulancc ami peevishness on the Hour of the House are sufficient to wear away a much stronger man. The intention to save Cleveland the exer cise of bis veto tower is shown in the disjio sition made of tho Il'.air Educational bill. It wiil never be beard from again this session because the President lias plainly intimated that he would veto it. If he did he would lose votes ill the South, aud this misfortune must be averted. He lias slants! again on Vetoes, sending in one to-day and another is expected on the public building at I'uflUlo, Xew Y'ork. a nivtir rii.iiBrsTEBi.No. In the House the entire day w as consumed in voting npnn dilatory motions submitted by the opponents of the Direct tax bill. Wasiiixoton, D. C, April 5. It is Wed nesday yet In the bouse and the end is not yet in sight. To-day lias been sjient in roll calls, relieved once in a while by a sharp de bate. There is no night session. Roth sides, King very much tired yet, agreed to a suspension of hostilities until, to-morrow ! morning at 11 4o o'clock, when it will still be the same legislative day which Ist-gan Wednesday at noon. Each side of the House has boldly notified the other that it docs not Intend to give iu, and it seems to have seltlcd down to a question of endur ance. THE CAl'SE Or THE OMSISITIOX. The objectors to the (.assage of the Direct Tax-Refunding bill set m to be influenced by two considerations. (Hie is that the lire sent congestion of the Treasury is a pre. ions thing, w hich can be of use to smash the pro tective tariff, and hence they don't intend to let (tass a bill taking $20,000,000 out of the Treasury. Another consiileration is that the bulk of the money will go to the Northern States. Some tortious of the lax were col lected from every Slate and Territory in the I'nion. and Ihc District of Columbia, except ing fta!i. The amount paid by some of the Southern Stales was small, but in round iiumlters t.'t.(Xi0 was collected from Arkan sas, flU.ooo from Georgia, fMf from Kentucky, $.'!s0.ijj from Louisiana, &71.'J0O from Maryland, iiii.iK) from Missouri, $377,000 frtim North Carolina, $,0m from South Carolina, $392,1109 from Tennessee and ftl&nOO from Texas. The South Carolina collection was made by I'niled states author ities taking ptssession of a whole county. The three largest slices (taid were f 2,2! 3.000 by Xew York, $1,XM,00U by Ohio, and $1, .m;.iH by Pennsylvania.

The saute spirit which made tiie Confederacy " nihle envy of the Vorthia the main f cl ing which moves in the opposition to this bill and a protective tariff, (Jen. Herbert, of Alabama. Chairman, of the Committee on Naval Affairs, said this afternoon. " I don't promise to Tote against any bill w hich gives my teoptc only $2,i),0(io while the North gets $5,000,01)0." This same feeling actuates lite unpntgtvssive men of the South, and the laritrniust lie pulled to pieces to drag dow n the North. This and Ihc fact that they don't want Ihe surplus reduced by laying war claims of which the North receives the lion's share is the great principle on which the most rabid tariff-reformers are fighting. Col. Oates, of Alabama Uwsled on Tuesday that no bribe of money could drag him away from the great principles of Democracy, and as long as the illegal and unjust tax on raw cotton of liVii and HJ3, amounting lo about t.ls,000,(H). was not iid back, that long be would opsse this direct tax bill. When asked by Mr. Dalzell why the cotton tax was illegal and unjust he refused to answer. The South must get f.'J for every one given the Xorth or they won't play. They are satisfied to filibuster w'jtt only three of lite appropriation bills disposed of and a tariff bill staring tt.cio in Hi face. WAsllfXoTos. April C The House spent the day III fillibustcring on the Direct tax bill, this being Wedncsilay with it. The re cess ended at 11:45 and w hen silting was re sumed there was some discussion about an agreement between the two factions, but il failed. The old tactics were continued un til 5:30 r. at., when a recess was taken until 1:30 r. at. to-morrow. WAsnis.iTott, D. C April 8. To-morrow will be the fifth day of the great deadlock in the House, and there are no indications of a break. When Judge Taylor, of Ohio, who is leading the fight 01. the art of the major ity, ma.Ie an offer on Saturday the minority to give them fifty minutes of an hour on a general debate and then go into a Committee of tlte Whole for an indefinite eriod, it was thought the end could be seen. Ry unanimous consent a recess of the House was taken until to-morrow, and nu merous consultations have been held since, but Gen. Oates and his ftrty supporters have determined to fight ; so the effort to secure a bribe in the shape of an amendment refund ing the cotton tax is to be continued. After the recess was taken 011 Saturday, Judge Taylor was surrounded by a number of Republicans, who thought they saw in bis offer for debate a sign of weakening, but (hey were soon undeceived, being shown that the offer was made iq good faith and to remove any objections Ihe minority might bav. Rut the uinorily means Itt role or ruin, and won't listen to anything but the cotton tat being added. Mr. Seed, of Maine, is satisfied. lie says every d ay sjurt in the fitadlctk jtirt take llit much tiroeawav from tiie consi.leration of the Mills' tariff bill. In this way the country is protected. He U sure that no cot ton tat amendment is going to be ad.led lo the bill, and that the minority will get all the Bghting they want before this deadlock is broken.

Mr. Oates and his contingent won't be bound by a caucus iu this matter, and open rebellion would Ite a bad thing for the President's party. That side of the House ia in a bad fix and doesn't know how to get out. Itis probable that a statement will be made iu the House to-morrow regarding Mr. Taylor's proposition of yesterday. This state ment will give the grounds on which tl - minority justify their course and will refuse concurrence in Mr. Taylors sugjjes.ions.

Ten Persona Killed and Twenty In jured on the St. Paul Railroad. Xewiiampton, Iowa, April 5. A terrible accident occiired about lour miles west of here on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad, by which nine or ten tersons per ished and fifteen or twenty were injured. The train which left Chicago yesterday morning at 11:30 and was due here at 2:13 Ibis morning passed here nearly on time. and when aliout four miles west plunged into a creek, the bridge over which was washed away. The creek was swollen by an immense vol ume of water w hich bad lieen running for the past few days, and in addition an ice gorge was formed, which, previous to the arrival of the train, bad carried away a Jtor tion of the bridge and left nothing to show there was danger ahead. The train plunged into the stream and three coaches were im mediately submerged. A scene of the wildest confusion ensued, and those of the train crew and tassengers who escajied death or injury were immedi ately railed into service to relieve the other tassengers. It was with great difficulty that they could be reached, owing to the rushing of water through the car windows. Those rescued from the smoking car, which was al most entirely submerged, were taken from Ihe windows. Some were maimed to such an exlcnt that they were rfiwerlessto help themselves, and were nearly drowned be fore help con Id reach them. At 11 o'clock this morning six dead bodies had been taken out from Ihe wreck, and three more are known to be under the debris. In addition to (tassengers known to have been killed, from fifteen to twenty buve been rescued that are more or less seriously injured. Mr. Carnegie Tired Out. PiTTsai'Bo, Pa., Aprils. Andrew Carnegie has ordered the shutting down of the Edgar Thomtsoii Steel Works. This is the result of the refusal of the men lo go back to the twelve hour system, according to Carnegie's recent propisition, and will throw upward of 5,000 men out of employment. The news has thrown labor circles into the greatest ex citement. The shut down will continue till next January. The evening paiers publish a story to-day to the effect that Mr. Carnegie is anxious to dispose of his great iron and steel interests. Lalior troubles and business cares are resting too neavny upon mm. 111c rejiort originates with M r. Carnegie's most intimate friends. A few days ago a representative of the Texas Pacific Railroad Conqsmy was in Pittsburg with an order for 5100 tons of steed rails to be used lor the extension of the com(tany's line through Texas. The or der was offered to the Edgar Thompson Steel Company while Andrew Carnegie was still in the city. The steel comjtany refused it on the ground that its nulls at Uraddock were shut down and il was not likely they would be working very soon. It is understood that the price offered for the rails was$.'U (ier ton. The representative of the railway company lcft for Chicago, where the order will proba bly le placed. This incident was related to-day as an in dication of Mr. Carnegie's determination to make no concessions to the strikers at Iirad dock who have declined bis offer to conduct the plant on a co-oierativc basis. Death In a Casting Pit. Xew Y'obk, April 5. This afternoon six moulders employed in IVdamater's iron foundry ltegan the work of casting a large cylinder. To facilitate the work a plank was laid acnoss the big mould, which was about twenty fet-t in diameter and five feet deep. The six men, carrying a ladlecontaining 2"0 pounds of molton iron, iiad scarcely reached the centre of the plank when the slender piece of wood, only fourteen inches wide, broke. 'Ihc men were precipitated into the earthen pit. and the heavy ladle scattered ils contents over them. Two of the men mirac ulously csca.xsl with coiniaratively slight burns, and when the ambulances arrived their wounds were dnssed and they were sent home; but the four others were less fortunate, and were horribly burned and scarred by the molten iron. The four seri ously injured were taken to St. Vincent's Hospital, where Ilouse Surgeon Connelly said that two of the np-n would prohahly die, and that the other two, though fearfully disfigured, would survive. Fatal Result of R-jda Play. Ih Biirns.-Tow.x, Pa., April 8. Six boys, ranging in age from ten to fifteen years who have been reading dime literature, went into a barn yesterday afternoon to play ' cow boy." They bad two or three pislols and roK-s. the latter being used as lassoes. Dur ing the play one of the boys, after boasting of bis ability to throw a rope around the neck of an India;! and choke him to death, gave his lasso.! a sling and it chanced to fall over the neck of littlj Jam 'i Uarton, who started to run. The boy held 0:1 and the rope tightened around Jimmy's throat. The others thought was great sport, and laughed at the struggles of the little fellow to get free. This lasted for sain? timj. Finally the nuHhcr of one of the boys appeared npon the scene. She quickly released the little sufferer, but too late too save bis life. He died within a few minutes after Ihc removal of the rope. The Western Flood. Maskota, Mux., April 0. Although! the Minnesota at noon to-day . was ten inches lower than the highest point yet reached out still Ihe situation has untavorable outlook. It is raining here, and ruins are reported from up the river. The lee iu the Minneso ta at the mouth of the lllue Karth, leu miles above, broke an hour ago, and is now com ing down in great masses It is retorted that four fanners with tlieir teams attempted to cross the river on the ice below the gorge at Judson, all of whom were overwhelmed by a portion of the break ing gorge and drowned.

As hia money gave out he hod to work and walk his Bay back, and hia tanned ap(ear ance bears out the latter assertion. Hia in tention is lo seek a reconciliation with Miss Coughenour. Some Thrilling Escapes-People Fleeing By Night Through the Icy Waters. Masom City, lo., April 6. The greatest freshet ever known in this county was ex perienced last niglu, tiie town of Rock Falls, on the banks of the Shell Rock river, experi encing It roost disastrously. The iron bridge, 155 feet long, and the dura are both gone, and the damage lo property there will not CD short of $ii.l)00. About Iwo weeks ago the ice iu the Shell Rock became loose and formed an immense gorge miles in extent, and some places tiled up twenty fc-ct high. The beary rain of Thursday loosened the water in the sloughs and creeks, which poured in a resistless torrent lino the river, forcing it beyond its banks and loosening the ice gorge, which went down the river with such force that everything in its course was swept Itcfore the Hood. XABBOW ESCAPE OF VlLLACiEBS. The village of Rick F'alls, south of the river, Is completely inundated ; houses and barns were crushed and swept away, and in sonic instances no vestige remains of w hat was before' a substantial structure. The bouse of Mr. Cruiksbank, where he lived with his wife and three children, was crush ed like an egg shell. The husband, hearing the torrent of ice and water got out of bed, and before he could lighi a lamp the water in the chamber was np lo bis waist. He pushed two of his children through a win dow and escaped. The woman rushed with her child to the npjicr story of the bouse just as it was yield ing to the force of the jl.sod, and csca(ted through the roof by jumping on the floating ice, where they remained for two hours until davliirbt. when neighbors rescued them. A house in which a Mrs. Anderson lived with her five children was swept from its founda tion ami against some trees, where it lodged, the woman and children escaping on the floating ice, where they remained barefooted and iu their night clothes until daylight, when the water receded and their rescue was made. If it bad not lieen that the ice gorge broke, causing Ihe flood to sultsi.le, they would doubtless have perished. AVhen the water receded it left immense (tiles of ice in Ihe streets. High cikes three feet thick are piled up on one another ten lo fifteen feet high, and they w ill lie there for weeks before they melt and mate the streets pass-able. It locks like an immense arctic scene with the poofs of the houses protruding through. A IMK-roR'S III I.EM M A. Thomas Kjierrett, one of the founders of the town, was taken suddenly ill during the night and telegraphed for a physician, who arrived at the swollen river but couldn't cuss. Then from both sides of the river they attempted to get a line across to haul over the medicine, but were unsuccessful, kites were made and attempted to Ite Mow n over, but the wind blear a gale ami this scheme was abandoned. Wooden ram-ntds with strings tied to thetn were fired from guns and the most muscular of men at tempted to throw stones with lines attached 1 across, bill all to 110 avail.
