Matson then called up the veto message on the bill granting a pension to Elizabeth Luce. Forney, of Alabama, raised the question of consideration, desiring that the house should take up the fortification appropria tion bill, but by a vote of 93 to 73 the house determined to consider the pension case. In this case a majority of tne com mittee recommend that the bill pass, not withstanding the veto of the president, while the minority report that the bill should not pass. The speaker announced that the question was upon the passage of the bill over the veto, and it was decided in the negative— yeas 116, nays 124, not a constitutional two- thirds voting in the affirmative.

At its evening session the house passed one pension bill and at 9:60 adjourned. Senate. Washington, July 16.—After disposing of some business of little importance, Mc Millan moved to take up the river and harbor bill, but waived that motion tem porarily in order to allow some pension bills to be considered. Objection was made to this, but the senate by a vote of 24 to 19 directed the pension bills to be proceeded with. Beck criticized the action of the chair man. |of the committee of commerce for not pressing the river and harbor bill, auu intimated that the apparent desire of Mc Millan to get on with that bill was not sin cere. McMillan explained that he had yester day agreed to yield to the senator from New Hampshire for pension bills which would consume but little time. The house bill increasing the pension of John Ryan, and the senate bill granting a pension to James E. Noyes were taken up and passed, the latter bill being described by Cockrell as a mere act of charity to a colored preacher who had only served a little while in the Louisiana native guards; but Blair said the man had also served in a colored regiment and in the veteran brigade. After passing thirteen private pension bills the senate resumed consideration of the river and harbor bill. Ingalls called attention to the loose and careless manner in which the new edition of the bill printed this morning had been got up. lie had been assured by the chair man of the committee on commerce that great care had been exercised in arranging the bill in the latest form, yet upon a most cursory and casual examination of the bill he found a great variety of eccen tricities, such as items In which the total appropriation was less than the amount directed in the same item to bo expended on some special part of the work. He in stanced some twenty or more of these cases and submitted that it was hardly appropri ate that the senate should be called upon to adopt the amendments in gross without further consideration. He said this with out hostility to the bill. The reading of the amended bill with the original amounts reduced twenty-five per cent, was then proceeded with and the eccentricities pointed out this morning by Ingalls were corrected as the Items were reachbd.

Then the sneaker pro tempore put the question: Shull the de cision of the chair slend as the decision of the house?” but in the noise his voice was unheard on the republican side and the Gentlemen on that side clamored to know Saulsbury, Teller, Voortees, Whitthoriie and Wilson of Iowa—14. The senate then took up the naval ap propriation bill. The amendments report ed by the committee on appropriations were agreed to without question and the Dili was passed. The senate then at 6 p. m. adjourned. AN IMPORTANT DECISION. I .lullin' Juek*o» KhuIitx hii Opinion la Oncol’ the I Kant Tell acme, Virginia iiuil Georgia Case*. Nashville, July 16.—A special from Knoxville, Tenn., says Judge Jackson, in the United States circuit court to-day, pro nounced an opinion in one of the suits against th'fe East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad of much interest to the company and the suitors against it. Under the mortgage of 1881 it has been claimed by the company that the rights of the mortgages were superior to those of the judgment creditors for personal damages as well as those of other creditors, and that no satisfaction of such judgments could be Two Members of the House Engage in a Fisticuff Flgitl.

Washington, July 18.—The Mexican pension bill passed by tne house on it±e 6lb of April, under a suspension of the rules, by a vote of two to one and nearly twenty yeas to spare, was so ill considered that its amendment by the senate became a mat ter of course. This matter has now been per formed, and it is fairly to be presumed that at least a part of the modifications of the senate will be accepted. As passed by the house, Mr. Wolford’s bill granted life pensions at the rate of $8 a month to “all tne surviving officers, sol diers and sailors who enlisted and served in the war with Mexico for any period during the years 1846, 1846,1847 ana 1848, and were honorably discharged, and their surviving widows.” A proviso excepted from the benefits of the act persons under political disabilities. No excuse could be made for passing a bill thus worded, siuce the phrase, “for any period,” contained in it would entitle a man to a lifelong pension who had oii’y served twenty-four hours, and even the widow of such a man. The bill passed by the house in the forty-eighth congress, for a similar purpose, required a service of at least sixty days, or else participation in a battle, but under the one sent to the senate this year a recruit need never have been out of his native town or within a thou sand miles of the Rio Grande to get a oen- sion. The house bill further provided that where a soldier could not show his dis charge papers, secondary evidence should be permitted, possession of a land warrant, unless proved to have been procured by fraud, being sufficient. The senate has amended the bill so as to apply only to thoRe who, “being duly en listed, actually served sixtv days with the army or navy of the United States in Mexico, or on the coasts or frontier there of, or en route thereto, in the war with that nation, or who were actually en gaged in a battle in said war, and were honorably discharged." During the house debate one member declared that “quite forty per cent, of all the enlistments were made at the last battle of the war,” and that the majority of these final recruits never marched toward Mexico at all. If this statement be even approximately true the present amendment is exceedingly im portant to the treasury. Again, the senate does not give pensions to all surviving widows, like the house bill, but only to those who “have not remarried.” Some, at least, of these amendments the house will doubtless have to accept, in or der to save the bill from defeat. Exactly how much the measure may take from .ic treasury annually, if finally agreed upon and ex icted. wili depend upon its ultimate shr:;-. but it must, in any event, be sev eral million:-. The estimate or the original coV of the house bill by its leading advo cate varied from four to eight millions for the tiv-t year, v. .lb a diminution thereafter. Soiim congressmen thought ir. might only eo.-t two millions a year, but others ox . the limit at ten. The aggregate cost. tit.-", ar. l Ins', was estimated at irom sixty to - - enl.v millions, or irom folly to fifty millions uuuer ' ie sixty-day limitation.

Cooper of Cincinnati, J. C. Young of Chicago, T. V. Davis of Chi cago. anu R. W. Geiger of Louisville, were in attend unco representing the association.

MURDERERS HANGED. fAI'IS MIDI FUR What is Transpiring on the Other Side of the Waters. Have Their St Smile lla). -Us llrokeii on Ihe Woodstock, 111., July #$.—James Dacey, the murderer of Aldermaik Michael Gay- nor, of Chicago, was hanged here at 12:36 to-duy. He made no speech, and was moderately composed, though during the morning he screamed almost continuously and had his limbs tied to prevent his mak ing an assault on any of his attendants. Dacey made a desperate attempt at suicide yesterday afternoon. He had a pair of large shears in the mattress of his bed and getting them out, attempted to stab himself. He was so violent that a hose had to be turned on him before he could be overpowered. After this Dacey broke one of the bed slats and tried to brain Deputy Harper, of Chicago. The prisoner was exceedingly violent during the night. He drove a priest from his cell with his club and spent his time in giving vent to the vilest impreca tion. An extra guard was placed over him. but it was afterward found necessary to bind him with leather straps. T e the ; diu-i: Guile to Heaven. Shreveport, La., July 10.—George Har rison, colored, aged twenty-two, was hanged to-day for the murder of George Allen, aged sixty. The prisoner was cool and self-possessed to the last and acknowl edged the murder. He said he was ready to be banged for the murder and announced his willingness to go. He said he believed he would at once enter heaven. The drop fell at 2:20 and in nine minutes the coroner S renounced Harrison dead. His neck was roken by the fall. Two at a Time. Donaldsonvu-le, Ky., July 16.—Samp son Roland and George Solomon, both colored, were hanged here to-day for mur der. The condemned men were baptized yesterday by Rev. Thomas Broun, of Mt. Olive IJaptist church. They seemed reconciled to their doom, and while as cending the gallows walked steadily. They listened calmly to the reading of the death warrant. Rev. Mr. Butler then said the Lord’s prayer and the prisoners followed him with calm, firm voices. They asked their friends to meet them in heaven. The trap was sprung at 12:30 o’clock, and half nil hour later the bodies were cut. down. The coroner expressed the opinion that death had resulted from strangulation in | both cases.

July 16.—An extradition treaty between England and the United StateH has been signed. In addition to the custo mary clauses, the treaty provides for the surrender of dynamite miscreants. At the foreign office to-day, it was stated that when the matter was ripe, a communica tion would be made to the press in the usual wav, and that the treaty would doubtless be ratified at Washington after the customary routine. . Further details were peremptorily refused. At the lega tion, Secretary White was greatly incensed on being questioned in regard to the mate ter, and refused to admit or contradict the statement that a treaty had been signed on the ground that the state department at Washington was alone competent to speak on the subject. He said he was surprised at the Indiscretion of the foreign office, and brusquely closed the interview. It is geueralty thought in diplomatic cir cles here that the socialists troubles in Chi cago largely influenced the American gov ernment in making the treaty. the times’ comments. The Times argues that there is a singu lar lack of personal weight among the con servative leaders, and that this necesitates a conservative-liberal-unionist coalition. The conservative party, adds the Times, will be less strong than it was hoped it would be. Whether Lord Hatington joines the gov ernment or not the government will be compelled to take him in its councils and ask his assent toils measures. It must, in fact, adopt his proposals and accept hit terms. Surely the only satisfactory method is for the liberal unionists to become a part and parcel of the government, for the motion of such a coalition, however, would in no sense mean a permanent obliteration of party lines, or that Lord Hartington had become a tory. CLAIMS TO HAVE THE PROOF. Arnold Forster in a public reply.to Par nell’s letter of the 13th instant, denying Lord Hartington’s assertions that the Par- nellites and tories were in league, claims to have in his posession a copy of a letter written in Parnell’s behalf by nis secretary to “Dear Mr. Ford,” giving in detail the date and items of Ford’s payments to the Parnellite treasury. to the scenes nt Hay Market before the riot was perpetrated.

Inspector Bonfleld, ivhocommanded the police at the Haymarket riot, wns the first witness. He gave a history of the occur rences as they have been many times published. He said the police were present on that occasion by order of the mayor. After consultation over a copy of the an archists’ circular calling that meet ing instructions to the police were that no man Rnould fire a shot except upon order by bis supe rior officer.

St. Petersburg, July 16.—While an iron dealer was unloading a wagon tilled with old artillery material yesterday, which had been purchased from the gov ernment, a nine-inch shell, supposed to have been properly unloaded, exploded among a group of workmen and others, and sixteen persons, including four chil dren, were killed and several more were injured. ON CHANGE. The Market llrcq>* Dark Into Ita Usual Midsum mer llullne**. New York, July 16.—The stock market opened this morning with a more decided feeling in favor of higher prices, more harmonious relations with Chicago and Atlantic serving to help speculation in Erie, while the extensive buying for Lon don account was also a factor in the rise in the morning. Sterling exchange rates were reduced on account of a better sup ply of bills drawn against se curities lately purchased in this market, but the latter fact was lost sight of when the market became too heavy to suit the leaders and prices were let down toward midday, the market sinking into the usual midsummer dullness until Western Union was again taken hold of and lifted up, the entire market following. A weak spot of the market was Lackawanna, which was at tacked from several different quarters at once and dropped quickly over one. A noticeable feature of the decline in this stock, however, was the small lots traded in. The market finally closed dull, about steady. The closing prices are generally a shade lower, Erie, preferred, however, being up l. sales 239,000 shares. A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. A Vonu* Lady and Hit Would-be Hesi'uer Killed by a Train. Elizabeth, N. J., July 16.—A heroic at tempt wns made by Jesse J. Cattlin, yard- master of the Pennsylvania railroad, this morning to rescue Annie Wyckoff, a high ly respected young girl of Elizabeth, from death at the south Elizabeth railroad sta tion. The girl wason her way to Rahway. While standing on the east-bound track waiting for her train the through east- bound passenger train was sighted. The passengers at the. depot called to Miss Wyckoff to get off this track, but she evidently did not hear them. On came the train. Cattlin jupmed to her side and was dragging her out of harm’s way when both wore struck by the east bound passenger train. Miss Wyckoff was hurled mam'feet from the scene of ae< ideal and her body was horribly mangled. Death must have been instan taneous. Cattlin was thrown a long dis tance and also killed.

He also stated that in such cases, upon a proper motion, he would di rect a sufficiency of the purchase money under the mortgage to lie withheld for the satisfaction of judgments. The claims af fected by this decision amount to $200,000 In spite ol the existing differences be tween the action of the house and that ol the senate, the Mexican pension bill is possibly nearer enactment than ever be fore.
