THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.
A Mnjorlty nr Senators Stilt Itelloro In
nn llnrly Adjournment.
Washington, April 27. Tho sonnto pro
gram for tills week, so far as determined
upon, Includos only tho consideration of
appropriation bills. Tliero may be spas
modlo efforts to get up othor measures,
but tho probabilities aro that nothing olso
of any gonornl tmportnuoo will receive at
tention. Cortnluly nothing will bo taken
up which will load to genornl dobate If tho
commtttoa on appropriations can control
thoordorof buslnoss.
It Is expected that thoro will bo an of
fort on tho part of Souator Gorman and
othor senators to nmend tho naval bill so
as to provldo for tho construction of only
two battloshlp, lnstoad of four, as tho
bill provider. Thero Is also an olomont In
tho sonato favorablo to Increasing tho
numbor to rIx. It Is, thoroforo, oxpootod
that this bill will dovelop considerable do
bato. A largo majority of tho sonntors. almost
nil of thorn In fact, now regard oarly ad
journment as qulto doflnltoly dotormlnod
upon. If tho Domoorats nnd Populists
ovor had nn Idea of attempting to prolong
tho sosslon beyond tho nntlonnl conven
tions they appoar to hnvo given It up, ond
few of them now flx tho duto boyond tho
ursc oi j uno.
Tho sonntors oro taking tho possibility
of a voto of tho rlvor and harbor bill Into
account In their onlculatlons on ndjourn-
mont. Such n fato for tho bill has beon
consldorod among the probabilities, and
houco thero will bo an offort to so arrange
tho business of tho sosslon as to hold con-
cress In sosslon during tho ton days which
ho Is allowed to consider n bill, In order to
eocuroan opportunity for passing tho bill
over tho president's objections In case of
his disapproval.
Tho houso, having disposed of nil tho
appropriation bills, will dovoto thobulanco
of tho session, except such portions as aro
oonsumod by confereneo reports, to clear
ing up such matters as opportunity af
fords. This week promlsos action on sov
oral measures. Tho Plokler genoral pen
sion bill, which was under dobnto last
wook for throe days, will bo voted on this
aftomoon If tho clamor for more tlmo for
dobnto Is not too Importunate, In which
caso tho debate may bo allowod to run on
for sovoral days. Tho measure will prob
ably rocelvo ovory Republican and quits n
number of Democratic votes. It has been
agreed that tho bill to ompowor tho presi
dent to rotlro John M. Quiiokonbush as a
commander In tho navy shall bo taken up
tomorrow. Commander Quaokonbush was

A Collision on Centre Street Late Satur
day Night.
HARROW ESCAPE OF TWO PEOPLE
The Driver Thrown Under Ills Wagon and
the Motorman Hurled From the
Platform of the Car Before He
Could Apply the Brake.
Thero was a thrilling accident on East
Centra street Saturday night, caused by a car
of tho Lakcsido Electric Railway running
Intonliorso and wagon. Tho animal was
instantly killed, the wagon was mado a
wreck and two men narrowly escaped very
serious injury, it not death. A remarkable
fcaturo of tho affair Is that tho accident
occurred at almost tho exact spot where a
child was recently run down and a dog and
goat killed.
Tho accident occurred at about 10:30 Satur
day night. Car No. 2 was hound westward
in cliargo of Conductor Jacob Glllcspio and
Martin Corrigan, motorman. Tho wagon
had stopped on Centre street, a short distance
west of Emerlck and tho driver left It to
deliver a package. A young man named
Itobcrt Linton was left in cliargo of tho
wagon nnd there was an understanding be
tween him and tho regular driver that ho
was to cross tho street and drivo below
Emeriek street. Ho was trying to do this
when the accident happened. Linton
lost control of tho horse and it stepped
in front of the car. Tho animal
and vehicle were tumbled to tl(0 side of tho
track. Linton fell under tho overturned
wagon and the shock of the collision threw
Corrigan, tho motorman, from tho platform
of the car to tho street. Ho hud timo only to
shut oil' the motor power mid as ho fell he
shouted, "Stop tho car ! Stop tho car !" Con
ductor Gillespio had been making up his
report for tho trip. Ho rushed out on tho
platform and applied the brake, bringing the
car to a stop.
Tho horse, which belonged to tho Heliablc
Hand Laundry Company, was almost in
stantly killed. Linton and Corrigan wero
considerably cut nnd bruised nbout the
limbs, but neither was dangerously injured.
Linton says he tried to drive across tlioi-ticet,
but tho horse seemed to become frightened
by tho headlight of the car. Linton waved
his arms for the motorman to stop, but the
car was running too fast nnd could not he
stopped in timo to avoid tho accident. Thero
seems to bo no conflict of statements in the
matter, except that the motorman claims that
tho effort to cross tho track was mado too
lato to give him a chance to stop . tho car,
regardless of the rato of speed. Tho lierte
was valued at $100 and the damage to tho
wagon amounts to about $23. Georgo W.
Kciter, Jr., hauled the carcass of tho horse
away Saturday night with a team of mules.
