SENATE'S BOND RESOLUTION. Sliver Senators Determined That It Shall Not be Ignored, Washington, April 15. It was mado apparent nftor a lively colloquy in tho Ben nto yesterday that thero was no disposition among tho silver and Populist sonntors to nllow tho resolution for a senate inquiry Into recent bond issues to lapse. By unan imous consent it had been set for consid eration at 2:15, but at that tlmo Mr. Chantllor wnsprococdlng with a speech on tho Dupont case, Mr. Gray was waiting to follow, and Mr. Collum had an appropria tion bill In reserve. This precipitated a clash In which Mr. Pcffer, reinforced by Mr. Wolcott of Colorado and Mr. Stewart of Nevada, assorted with omphasls that tho bond resolution could not bo crowded out, either by design or Inadvertanco. An ngroomcnt was finally roachod that tho bond resolution would come up lmmo dlatoly after Mr. Chandlor and Mr. Gray concluded thoir speeches. The houso passed without nmondment tho fortification appropriation bill, carry ing appropriations and authorizations in volving an expenditure of 811,384,018. Tho appropriations for fortifications slnco tho Endlcott commission In 18S3 reported Its plan for tho defense of twonty-soven sea ports, at nn appropriate cost of $100,000,000, havo averaged something over $2,000,000 annually. During the dobato there were a number of references to our forolgn com plications nnd tho necessity of preparing for any posslblo emergency. Only ono volco was raised against tho passago of tho bill, Mr. Berry, of Kontucky, who thought it would bo wisdom to build ships tapablo of coping with tho most powerful battloshlps of other nations rather than orcct llxod fortifications on our coasts.

Try them and, see tor yourself Reports of a Case of Infanticide Quickly Exploded. POVERTY WAS THE PRIME FACTOR A Man Too Poor to Defray Burial Expenses Selected a Resting Place In the Cellar of Bis Home and Caused a Sensa tion Among His Neighbors. At about 11 o'clock last night Chief of Polico Tosh and Patrolman Goodman were called from tho couucilmanic supper to solve a mysterious case at 431 West Centre street. From statements mado by several neighbors, Chief Tosh was led to believe that one Archibald Caston, or his wife, Rebecca, had been guilty of infanticide. Tho Castons live at No. 421, and the whoio neigh borhood was very much exercised over the matter and tho Castons, especially tho hus band, were referred to in terms far from com plimentary. Ono neighbor had tried to gain admittance to tho house, but tho doors wero kept locked, and this served to confirm suspicious that something had gono wrong in tho house. Tho polico got into the placo after a llttlo exchango of words and Mr. Caston told Chief Tosh that no birth had taken placo in tiio family, but when Tosh said ho would go for a doctor to find out what was tho matter with Mrs. Caston tho husband weakened. Ho admitted that thero had been a birth and that ho had hurried tho child in tho cellar with tho intention of making a burial in somo secluded spot on tho mountain early this morning. Caston exhumed the remains and Chief Tosh took charge of them. This morning Deputy Coroner Manley held an inquest and Dr. W. N. Stein, who performed an autopsy upon tho remains, declared that thero had been a prematura birth. This knocked tho bottom out of tho sensation, as Mrs. Caston was doing as well as could bo expected and there was nothing to bo douo but provide a burial. Dr. Stein said the child lacked about threo months of maturity and there were no in dications of violence. Deputy Coroner Manley took Caston to task for resorting to tho unnatural method of burial. Tho man said ho did not havo means to procure a doctor, or buy medicine for his wife, and could not conceive a plan by which ho could secure money for a burial. His last pay for two weeks as a topmau in a breaker was $0.71 and rent amounting to ?3 fell due. He said his mathematical powers wero taxed to keep body and soul together and four children and a wifo looked to him for bread. The condition of the houso and tho children, the oldest being a girl 12 years of age, fully confirmed every statement the man made. A moro striking case of distress from poverty docs not exist in tho borough and the charitably inclined women of the borough cannot select a better place for their work. To bo plain about tho matter, Mrs. Caston does not bear a very good reputation, but sho lies upon a hard bed in tho worst kind of a hovel sick almost unto to death, without medicine, and with but two loaves of bread in tho house. Chief Tosh, upon tho Coroner's suggestion, mado arrangements by which tho remains of tho child wero buried at tho expense of tho county. It now remains for charity to play the final part in ono of tho most distressing cases revealed for somo tlmo in tho town. Reference is mado to tho character of tho alilicted woman so that those who may feci inclined to act in tho matter will not be surprised by any developments and thereby deterred from affording the relief tho caso rcqtiircs.
