Mr. Newman being absent, Mr. McAlpin declined to draw himself, but allowed the appointment of a siibsiitnt, to draw for hint. The committee selected 11. I>.

There were ten blind ballots put into a box. upon one of which was written the woid “Clerk.” A |H'nny was tossed for first draw and Mr. Neuman won. The draw - mg then proceeded iu regular order and U|Hin opening the ballots the word "clerk” was found on his side. Ocala Item: Quite a stir was caused Thurs day in the social circles of silver Spring and Hie business eueles of Ocala liv the sudden departure of 1. Y. Westervelt. a merehanl do ing bu-ine-s at the spring, lor parts uukuown. He is supposed to be iu New Orleans. The circumstances causing his flight are of a very sensational and painful nature; and for fear tout our information may not be entirely cor rect, ami out of regard for the feeling of ids heart-broken wife, we refrainjfroui publish ing the rumors alloat. Westervelt was in debted to several of our merchants iu amounts named below. Our enterprising neighbors ly A Rowell were Ihe lir.-l to l.'.irn that he had absconded. Willi characteristic promptness they knocked that very uight at the door of Lawyer Turnley's private apart meats, and had him to fix up the proper papers to levy an attachment early next morning. They then hunted up the Deputy Cl rk oi the Circuit Court and got matters in s a|ie so that by 7 o’clock Deputy Sheriff Hodge was on his way to Silver Spring, t he. thus got ahead and secured the cash. Later in the dav the news became general, and most of our business men t.nk legal steps to secure their accounts. The following is a list or ad that we could coiltct: Kennedy A Rowell, fi’Hi; W.G Robin-ui, GG: E ! Delouest, f li. A. FL Delouest, fit; J. M. Blair, f io; D. K. Van Telt A Cos.. |:(0. Will Wilson, who was clerking for Westervelt, also has a claim, but tin- amount is not known. The shameful con duct of We-tervelt is v.-ry dark; he not only attempted to ile fiaml hi* ere* I Hors, but lias ruined the virtue of the flower oi his household. At one time he was highly respected, and only recently field the responsible position of railroad ageni at the spr r.g. He left several days ago, fol lowed by Ins daughter the next day. LVOV OK THI-] WHITE BOISE. ■Mitt It. K. Cleveland, the President’* Sister, to be Mistress. Albany, X. Y., Feb. 28.—President elect Cleveland has completed the few preparations which he deems necessary f"r the social side of his forthcoming resi d nee in Washington. His sister, Miss U. K. Cleveland, will be the mistress of the White House. She did not join th • household in the Governor’s Mansion here, but has been with him a great deal since he retired to the Towner residence, on his resignation of the Governorship. It was with reluctance that she con sented to go to Washington to take charge ol the Presidential domicile. She has been an earnest and in dustrious woman, and never contem plated a life of luxury, much less one of conspicuous position before the country. Bhe is as unnjue iu her way as her brother is in his. though they are ap parently not at all alike in general char acter. Xor does she physically resemble hint. She is of medium stature and build, with a shapely and highly intellectual face. She is good looking, but not pretty. She dresses neatly, but plainly, and wears few ornaments. She has for a long time been a lecturer by profession, her speci alty b“ing educational subjects, and her audiences usually the pupils of girls’ schools. She has, for example, just lectured at the Elmira Seminary, on “Joan of Arc.” She speaks several languages, is a constant reader, is exceptionally well informed in history and the arts, and has that degree of confidence in herself and the knowledge she possesses to tie able to firmly take the lead in conversation, and to hold it against the bright men and women who have come in contact with her. Yet in some respects she is notably shy, and always so modest and amiable as to win friends easily and quickly. “Wby, she’s a perfect dictionary,” s tit! ex-Gov. Cornell, when he returned’ from a visit to Miss Cleveland, yesterday; “she’s one of the brightest women I ever met.” “And do you know,” remarked the ex- Governor’s* vivacious wife, “she seemed inclined to avoid promiscuous society in Washington. I told her on no account to do so. 1 informed her wltat Bled people she would meet, how charming the social atmosphere is there, if one only chooses one’s own circle among the refined fami lies; and 1 also assured her that she need not lie doubtful about her ability to enter tain, though I omitted the truth—there are few women there so well fitted to reign in the White House as she.” T here seems to be no doubt that Miss Cleveland's administration will not lack distinctive qualities, for she is a strong minded woman, accustomed to instruct members of her sex, and with firmly grounded notions generally. As to the President-elect, there is an equal certainty that he has made up his mind to rival or excel Arthur in the po liteness of his social administration. If von call on him here, and have live i in Washington, he unreservedly shows a great interest in all that yom can tell him about the capital. He has never seen the White House, and he says very positively that if you or your friends have any curi osity to inspect it you had better do so Immediately, for he’does not intend to have it managed as a museum, to be en tered bv anybody who will fee a servant with a dollar. He has no objection to the public exhibition of the state parlors whenever they are not in use, but to have his bedroom and the living apartments of bis iamiiv thrown wide open to whoever cares to see them he thinks must be un pleasant for the occupants. He has al ready ordered that the practice be discon tinued as soon as he shall be insta'led. In his life here in Albany, Cleveland Is plain enough. He eats sparingly; his cook is an ordinary servant, wittt no French or other accomplishments. The small and delicate Senator Evarts, whom your correspondent happened to see in close contrast with Cleveland during his. call, swallows as much in one day as the bulkier man does in three. YY hatever his habits mav have been in Buffalo, he cer tainly has not been known here as a con vivial bachelor. He keeps a box of cigars in his desk, and they constitute the only refreshments commonly offered to visitors. His predecessors, Dix. Tilden and Cor nell, always had wine galore, but he abol ished the closet for beverages. Brunswick'. Budget. Brunswick, Ga., March 3.—Dr. J. B.

CLEVELAND'S ARRIVAL EARLY YESTE RDAY MORNING. Arthur's Preparations for Removal from the White House, and Arrival o the President-Elect’s Baggage—Uortreous ness of the Decorations and Illumina tions. Washington, .March 3.—At 7 o’clock this morning, when the mists of the night still clung around the Baltimore and l’o tomac depot and but few persons were stirring, the special train bearing the President-elect and his party drew up on the side track in the depot. The com mittee of citizens appointed by Chairman Corcoran to receive the President-elect had been informed by him that he desired to avoid a public reception, and would prefer to receive a visit from the commit tee at bis hotel. They were also iuformed yesterday evening, by a member of the Senate designated by Gov. Cleveland as a medium of further communication, that other and private arrangements had been made for his comfortable reception at the station and conveyance to the' hotel; but nevertheless when the party arrived onlj a few train hands and halt a dozen re porters were present. The President-elect was accompanied by his brother, Rev. L. Cleveland, wife and child, his sisters, Mrs. Hoyt anil Miss Cleveland, liis niece, Miss Mary Hastiugs, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Manning, and Col. Daniel Lainout, wife and two children. After a delay of about 10 miutes. Chairman Hcrritt and Mr. Galt, of the Inauguration Committee, put in an appearance, anil were introduced to the President-elect. Some 20 minutes were required to secure carriages, and it was 7:50 o’clock before the parly disembarked. Meanwhile the news til the arrival ol the party bad spread, and a crowd gathered around the Pullman car “Maranou,” and stared hard at the President-elect, who bore the scru tiny with < quauimity. When the car riages arrived the party alighted, anil proceeded through the ladies’ waiting room to the north entrance, the President elect loading, with Chairman Berritt. Mr. Cleveland wore a blue over oat aud silk hat, and did not appear at all fatigued by his night’s journey. Carriages were taken and the party proceeded to the Arlington hotel, w here a hasty toilet was made, and breakfast served. THK SUB-COMMITTEE'S CALL. The ue-committee, appointed by the in auguration general reception committee to welcome the President-elect to Wash ington, called on him by appointment at 4p. m. this afternoon. ’ Their Chairman, lion. Richard T. Merrick, after intro ducing bis lellow iiu iiils'is, expressed tlie welcome in a lew well chosen words, and Gov. Cleveland felicitously returned his acknowledgment. An informal conver sation ensued for some little time, and the committee then individually took their 1 ‘aves. The m *inhership of the commit tee was as follows: Hon. Richard T. Merrick, lion. Eppu llunton, Allan Mc- Ldi.e. John E. Norris, John \V. Thomp son, Wililiani Horatio King, Dr. Darnel B. • larke, Adjut. Gen. Veret, Gen. Ilazen, •J 'Siali Dent, David it.

BUSTLE AT THE WHITE HOUSE. The White House building and grounds were crowded with visitors to-day. The East Room, however, was the only room open to sightseers. A policeman guarded the stairway leading to the upper por tions of the house, and allowed to pass only those on official business. The Pres ident was kept very busy during the day signing acts ol Congress, and attending to other official matters. The members of .he Unitoil States supreme Court, headed by Chiel Justice Waite, called just before noon and took leave ot the President. A meeting of the Cabinet was held at noon and lasted about two hours. All the members were present. The session was devoted to clearing up all official business requiring action during the present administration. During the ses sion a messenger brought a large hand some floral cornucopia across which was laid a beautiful horseshoe formed of rare exotics. At 2:30 o’clock the President received the members of the diplomatic corps. All the legations were represented, and it seemed as ii every diplomat in the city improved the opportunity to take oilieial leave ol the President. While arrangements were teing made for packing and removing the personal ' fleetsof tue President ami his family a large express wagon drove up to the main entrance, anti deposited a number of trunks, boxes and parcels containing the personal effects of President-elect Cleveland and his private secretary. They were taken into the house to be cared for until President-elect Cleveland takes up his residence there. President Arthur’s effects will be re moved to-morrow. After President Ar thur has reviewed the procession he will proceed direct to the residence of Secre tary Frelinghuysen, whose guest he will be for two or three weeks. His son and daughter will accompany him. Mis Mc- Elroy will be the guest of Mrs. John Field, and Mrs. llaynesworth will be the guest of Mrs. James A. Dumont, on Capi tol Hill. President-elect Cleveland called upon President Arthur this afternoon. CROWDS AROUND THE CAPITOL. At 12 o'clock the corridors of the capi tol were almost impassable. Dense crowds surrounded every door of the gal leries of ihe two houses,’ peering through and awaiting the departure of the more fortunate occupants of seats within. They were composed for the most part ot •well behaved and well dressed people, and by far the larger pait wore overcoats of army blue and a large percentage of those in civilian dress were decorated with sdken badges. Indicating member ship of visiting organizations. An extra session remained a possibility and the subject was the one most-dis cussed among the members and attaches of Congress. The condition of business was such that the appropriation bills might be disposed ol within twelve hours, yet the possibility remained that some would not be passtd. The great crowds of spectators had a very inspiring effect upon the eloquence of many of the members. The weather to-day was beautiful and the indications are favorable for a fair day to-morrow. At the close of business hours to-day the principal officers of the Post Office Department assembled in the Postmaster General’s room to take leave ot Postmas ter General Hatton. He thanked them for their faithfulness. In accordance with the usual custom, the meuiliers of the Cabinet have placed their resignations in the hands of Presi dent Arthur. ON A VA9T SCALE. Everything connected with the inaugu ration is on a vast scale. The committee have measured the capacity ot Pennsyl vania avenue, and they say they are ready to provide for 175,000 spectators on the broad sidewalks of that street, not to speak of the stands, windows and roots. There will be upward of 25,000 men in line. There will be about 100 bands and drum corps. Extra policemen are to be sworn in by the hundred. Railroad man agers are talking of passenger traffic in six figures. The hotels have thousands of extra cots, and engage special help in platoons. The managers of the ball ex* l>ect to have 5,000 waltzers spinning at once in the evening. The fireworks are to be on an unparalleled scale. There are to be thousands of poles, and thousands of pounds of gunpowder arranged upon them, in many designs, and to end up with 5.000 rockets’ are to be exploded simultaneous ly. Even the thieves and pickpockets are expected In large numbers, and an effort will be made to meet them with propor tionate attention. It will be a glorious and patriotic spectacle, and it there are 100,000 visitors in town, and each leaves $lO here on an average, it will be worth $1,000,000 to the District. THOUSANDS OF VISITORS. The city is already chock full of vis', tors. The incoming trains for a week have been very heavy, until bv this time all the inauguration guests have come and the flood tide of strangers is pouring over the hotels and boarding houses. All the States and Territories are rep resented among the arrivals. The YVest come# up particularly strong, California leadin'*. The Democratic tactions in that State are scrambling for recognition bv the new administration, and the local statesmen are here in shoals. Office-hunters are, of course, conspicu ous among the crowds in the hotels. The news stands have on sale a pamphlet preDared by an enterprising person giv ing’a list ot the offices aud their salaries at the disposal ot the administration, and copies ot this publication have been in great demand all day. Mr. Cleveland’s inaugural address will SAVANNAH, WEDNESDAY. MARCH 4. 1885. not be a long document. Not more than fitteen minutes will be required for its de livery on the capitol steps, for delivered it will be without the aid of notes or a re sort to reading a printed copy of the same. Its language will be such as to leave no doubt upon the minds of its read ers ol the new President’s attitude upon the important public questions of the day. THE CITY BY NIGHT. ■Washington on the eve of the inaugura tion day presents a scene of extraordi nary activity, excitement and enthu siasm. The fronts of all the buildings cn Pennsylvania avenue are nearly concealed bv flags, shields and festoons of bunting sb that the street is almost walled in bv tri-color drapery. The lanterns of the street lamp posts have been removed and instead of the single white light four branches are substituted, surrounded by colored globes. Electric lights blaze on every corner, and along the pave ments of the brilliantly illuminated streets military organization in full uniform, headed by tine bands and lighted by loco motive headlights, are constantly passing hack and forth through Pennsylvania avenue and Fiiteenth street, on their way to or from the headquarters of the Presi dent-elect, and are greeted with cheers us they wheel around the corners between the throngs ot spectators. Companies of State Militia, in plain and service able blue, alternate with pictur esque squads of zouaves in showy red and white, and New York political clubs, in long overcoats and silk hats, are followed by the Flambeau Club, from To peka, Kas., dressed in the spectral uni form of unbroken white and carrying peculiar pneumatic torches into whose shnlts they blow at intervals, so as to send up high, slender tongues ol naphtha like flame. A MULTITUDE OF BANDS. Bands of all kinds are to be heard in every direction, four or five sometimes passing the Treasury Department to gether, but in different directions and playing different airs. Around the Ar lington Hotel, where the President-elect is staying, there has been a great throng of people all the evening, watching the arriving and departing troops and listen ing to serenades which the bands play under Mr. Cleveland’s windows. The whole city seems even at this late hour of the evening to 1.0 active and presents a festive anil holiday appearance. The strong rivalry between the great Democrat!” lie lions in New Y’ork has shown itseit licro in bold relief. Tam many, w ith nearly 1,000 men, arrived last night with the Bevemh Regiment Band, and this evening the County Democracy arrived with 1,200 men, beaded by Gil more’s famous hand of about 100 instru ments. Among the well-known political clubs who are helping to make the streets lively to-night are the Cook County aud Iro quois Clubs of Chicago, the Duckworth of Cincinnati, Samuel J. Randall and Am< ricus Clubs of Philadelphia, and the Central Democratic Club ol Harrisburg, l’a., all strong in numbers, good looks, and good clothes. CLEVELAND’S CALLERS.

Yesterday a rumor reached Atlanta that Will Haralson, tor a long time connected with the Wild Land Office, and a brother of Librarian Frank Haralson, had been seriously injured in a railroad accident in Texas, in which he lost both legs.

The de ceased years ago was a member of the City Council of Atlanta, and more re cently was connected with the Agricul tural Department of tne State, tilling the position of Inspector of Fertilizers at Savannah. Last summer he went to Montana Territory and engaged in cattle raising, where he remnined until the se vere weather of this winter eaused him to return to Atlanta. YYnile there he contracted a severe cold which settled on his lungs and brought on consumption, which was the cause of his death.

The de ceased was known all over the State, and wherever known was greatly liked on ac count of his many good traits of char acter. Georgia's Central City. Macon, Ga., March 3.—The Americus artesian well was sold in that place to day by Marshal Locke. It was bid in by Judge D. B. Harrell on bebalt of the city for $325. YY'ork will commence immedi ately on it. A sensation was created here to-day by l’rof. A. J. Branham, of Mercer Univer sity, exhibiting the powers ot Lulu Hurst. Proprietor Byington, of the Lanier House, and Dolph Powell, a well-known broker, had a terrible tight to-day. Oliver U. Herit, the Connecticut mil lionaire, has telegraphed President Bass, of tne YVesleyan Female College, to finish the building at his expense. There is great rejoicing over the dispatch.

The Nominations to b Sent to tlie Senate To-morrow—Atkius’ Nomina tion Hangs Fire and Goes Over to the Next Congress—The Defeat of the Subsidy Men. Washington, March 3.— Cleveland’s Cabinet will be nominated to the Senate on Thursday. The best information at tainable to-night is to the effect that the following will be the nominations which he will then make: Secretary of State —Thomas F. Bayard. Secretary of the Treasury —Daniel Man ning. Secretary of the Interior— L. Q. C. Lamar. Secretary of War— William Endicott. Secretary of the Navy —William C. Whitney. Postmaster General —W. F. Vilas. Attorney General —A. H. Garland. Tne McDouald men here have made a strong effort this evening to have Mr. McDonald substituted for Mr. Vilas or for Mr. Whitney. They claim that there is still a possibility that this mav be the outcome. The friends of Patrick A. Coilins say that he may yet be substituted for Mr. Ei dicott as Secretary of War. Gentle men of prominence wt’io have talked with Mr. Cleveland this evening hold both the McDonald and Collins theories. Never theless, some of Mr. Cleveland’s most in timate friends are responsible for the statement that the President has chosen the seven men first i*.lined to be his Cabi net, and that this evening they met in his rooms at the Arlington and listened to his inaugural address. It is certain that they all conterred with Mr. Cleveland this evening. ATKINS’ NOMINATION GOES OVER. Tne nomination ot James Atkins to be District Attorney for Northern Georgia will go over. The facts presented were sufficient to convince the Judiciary Com mittee, without a formal argument, that the nomination ought not to be confirmed. It will not be reported at all. Gen. A. R. Lawton is here. Mr. Cleve land would have made him a member ot his Cabinet it he could bavo arranged it. THE “STAR’S” VIEWS. The Evening Star to-night says that the West has given up all hope of recognition in the Cabinet. The best friends of Messrs. Thurman and McDonald say that neither has a chance to go into the Cabinet. They say that they believe, though they regret it, that two New York men will be among the chosen, and that the administration will, at the lirst glance, be open to the criticism that it is made in the interest of the East, while the West will be ignored. This, they say, will be keenly felt by many leading Democrats. It is believed that Bayard, Whitney, Manning, Garland, La mar anti Vilas are decided uiion. Messrs. Endicott and McClellan are both here, and the friends of each are opposing the other, and each expects to get the War Department. The chances are said to be with Mr. Endicott, though the tight that is being made against him may defeat both, and another may be selected, proba bly Mr. Collins. DEFEAT OF THE SUBSIDY MEN. The conspicuous feature of this after noon’s proceedings in Congress was the final defeat of the Pacific Mail subsidy men. The House by a vote of 128 in favor to 132 against refused formally and flatly to agree to the Senate amendment carry ing the $400,000 subsidy. The friends of the subsidy staked all on this motion and did not take their disappointment calmly. The result of the vote was unexpected. John Roach and all his lieutenants have been hard at work for three days supple menting the efforts of their representa tives on the floor and in the lobby. They expected success. The leader of the John Roach forces on the floor was Hernando DeSoto Money, of Mississippi, who has been “mentioned” tor Postmaster Gen eral. Ho is now being mentioned for First Assistant Postmaster General. S NGLAND AND EGYPT. Gen. lirarkenbury on tlie Retreat to Kortl—The Ileat Increasing.

It is reported from YVool wich Arsenal that in military circles it is understood that the government has ar ranged to hold in readiness 150,000 troops for service against Russia in Afghanistan, England to depend for protection upon re serves. RUSSIA’S RESPONSIBILITY. London, March 4,3 a. m. —The Daily News this morning expresses the hope that Russian statesmen will prove rea sonable and Keep their word, “otherwise the consequence must be on their heads, not on ours.” It adds: “YY’e are bound by a solemn treaty to protect the Afghan frontier.” DUFFERIVs MEETING.

Huntingdon, Pa., March 3.— Three men, two of them names unknown, but evidently a German and an American, the third a Frenchman, giving the name ol M. Faurnancl, who has but recently ar rived from Paris, have lor several days been experimenting in a secluded portion of the Diamond Y’alley with machinery for the more certain use of nitro-glycer me and other highly explosive com pounds. The trio quietly took their departure YVestward on the afternoon traiu. The American had been here with a party in December last, who at that time made several tests ot a compound called nitro petroline, hut on t his occasion neither he nor the German could be induced to en gage In conversation. THE FRENCHMAN’S STATEMENT. The Frenchman, however, in order to secure necessary information, was obliged to confide, though guardedly, in two or three persons. He claimed to be the in ventor of the machinery he was testing, and when perfected wiil receive an im mense sum of money for it from the Ni hilists of Russia, the Internationals in Germany and France, and the dynamiters in America. The contrivance consists ot a wick satu rated with a highly inflammable wax and coiled concentrically on a roller. It is controlled by a spring, which, in turn, is governed by clock-work gearing. The part last unwound burns With a flash, igniting the explosive, with which it com municates. The time is controlled by the length of the wick or fuse. The object is now to regulate its burning, which has been very nearly accomplished, as sev eral very satisfactory explosions were sc oured. The American and the German are agents of the societies that employ M. Kaurnand and are to report upon the re sults, They go from here to Pittsburg, aud from there to Cincinnati and Chicago. A It lIIY IN A GRIPSACK. Tlie Burden a New Haven Expressman (iivHi to Carry. New Haven, Conn., March I.—YVhiie Thomas Gibbs, u licensed expressman, was standing in line with others of his craft outside the Union Station in this city about 8:30 last evening, he observed a well-dressed man of medium height ap proaching the line from the side of the station. The stranger carried a large valise. The expressman hailed him and secured the job of carrying the valise to No. 512 Elm street, and informing the people living there that they might expect the owner of the valise at 9:30 o’clock. Gibbs was warned to handle the valise with care as it contained glass. The expressman took the valise, placed it be side him in the wagon and hurried oft' to the indicated part of Elm street, nearly two miles from the station. He failed to find any such number as 512. There are no houses between Nos. 506 and 512. He carted the valise back to the station and left it In the baggage room. About half an hour later sounds as of a baby crying were heard to issue from the valise. " Po liceman Bradley pried the valise open and found that it contained, warmly clad and moaning in its sleep, a pretty girl baby about a week old. Beside the child lay a quantity of clothing and a nursing bottle full of milk. Tne police wagon was called and the waif taken to the almshouse. No clue as to the identity of the patron of Expressman Gibbs has been obtained. Gibbs says he now remembers that the stranger studiously avoided going near enough to the street lamp to allow anyone to get a good look at his face. Just as the 9:10 train was leaving the station for New York, an unknown man answering the imperfect description given by Gibbs rushed through tne station and across the platform to the last car on the train. He succeeded in catching it and swinging himself aboard. The presumption is that he had come from New York on the early evening train, and that he took the first train back. The child had evidently been drugged to prevent its making an outcry on its trip with Gibbs to Elui street. The baby clothes in the valise were of the costliest kind, but not knew. The child, it it lives, will remain at the almshouse until it is 2 years old, when it will be taken to one of the orphan asylums or to the County Home. NOT SO GREEN AFTER ALU. How a Good Samaritan was Frustrated in His Friendly Design. Passaic, March I.—Mr. Charles R. Y’an Deuscn, the junior member of the firm of J. S. Y’an Deusen & Son, wealthy whip manufacturers of this city, relates an amusing Incident of a recent business trip to the metropolis. He was riding up town ir a Broadway stage and when in the vicinity of the Sinclair House he no ticed a granger, with high-tide trousers, carpet grip, cowhide boots, gaping mouth and other concomitants of the delegate from YV’ayback, making along the busy thoroughfare. “First-class bait for confidence men,” soliloquized Mr. Y’an Deusen. The thought had scarcely been expressed when a fastidiously dressed stranger tapped “Uncle Josh” upon the shoulder, spoke a few words to him aud then moved away, apparently apologizing for an al leged mistake. “I’ll save him,” said the goodSamaii tan, as he hurriedly alighted lrom the stage and approached the “bait.” “i beg pardon,” began Mr. Y’an Deusen, “but a man spoke to you just now—” “Yaas!” ejaculated the bait as he grabbed the good Samaritan and swung him around until his head spun, “an’ you want to tell me all about the folks tu hum. Fur two pins I'd slam vou through that air buildin.’ Police! Police!” Mr. Van Deusen was forced to beat a hasty retreat. A POU'DEK OAR BLOWN UP. Ten Tons of Powder Exploded in a Bail w iv Collision. Elmira, N. Y., Feb. 28.—A car load of powder exploded at 6:30 o’clock this even ing on the Corning, Gowanesque and An trim Railway. Two north-bound trains from YVilliamsport to Corning were com ing up the grade, three miles below Tioga, when the forward train parted. The lo comotive of the rear train crashed through the caboose of the leading train and into a car containing ten tons of powder. A fearful explosion followed instantly, and the engine and seventeen cars, with their load of freight, were blown to atoms. Con ductor James Staple, of the leading sec tion; engineer Husted, bis firemen and conductor Cookall jumped when they saw the crash was inevitable, and, knowing of the powder on the traiu, threw them selves flat in the ditches on either side of the track. They escaped unharmed. The concussion from the explosion was felt in this city, dishes being shaken from their places, windows rattled and general consternation resulting. The frozen earth was torn up to ailopth ot several feet and the fragments strewn widely over the fields and hillsides. The only trace of the locomotive is a piece of the boiler found across the river, a hundred rods away. INFATUATED WITH A TRAMP. A New Jersey Wife’s Strange Con duct. Trenton, N. J., March 2.—The Sheriff of Passaic county will bridg John Coles to the State’s prison here to-morrow. Colesis a tramp. He got in the habit of going to the residence of Mrs. Eliza Crompton, at Passaic bridge, and asking something to eat. One dav he assaulted Mrs. Crompton. She was badly injured. Coles was arrested and put in the county jail. The moment Mrs. Crompton heard that the tramp was in jail she began to act strangely. She went to the jail and told Coles she regretted that she had im prisoned him. Her husband could not stop her. She took the tramp fruit and flowers.

New York, March 3. —The Spanish Consul General received the following dispatch from the Governor-General of Cuba this atternoon: “Carlo Aguero was killed yesterday at Colon by the civil guard.” The Spanish authorities made unsuc cessful efforts to have Aguero extradited from Key YVest last summer. CONGRESS’ LONG SIEGE. BOTH BRANCHES PUT IN AN OTHER NIGHT’S WORK. Conference Committees on the Disputed Appropriation Bills Trying to Agree on the Points at I sane—The Chances of an Extra Session Still Uncertain. YVashington, March 3.— The Senate was called to order at 9 o’clock this morn ing. A quorum not being present, Mr. Dawes moved a call of the roll. The call showed twenty-five Senators present, be ing fourteen short of a quorum. At 9:50 o’clock the Chair declared a quorum present. Mr. Dawes called up the conference report on the Indian appropriation bill. The two Houses, he said, had agreed on the bill so tar as all items properly pertaining to the ap propriation bill were concerned. The Senate had struck out all items of general legisla tion and all items of depredation claims. Upon those, however, the House insisted. Since the bill was passed, Mr. Dawes, added, the Senate teemed to have weakened on its position as to general legislation Some pro visions of the Indian appropriation bill were open violations of our treaty obligations, as well as unconsiitutional. Mr. Sherman said that if the Benate re garded the House legislation as wise, the Senate rule shout t not interfere with it. if unwise and unsound the Senate should not recede, no matter what Ihe consequences. < fter further discussion in order to bring the question to a point and get an understanding of the Senate, Mr. Dawes moved, though he said that he would vote agaiust his owu motion, that the Senate recede as lo the pro vision of the bill relatiug to legal jurisdiction and procedure in the case of crimes commu ted by Indians. The Senate refused to recede by 4 yeas to 47 nays. A message from the House of Representa tives announced a disagreement with tlie Senate on the sundry civil hi 1. The Senate, on motion of Mr. Dawes, insisted on its amendment, and ihe Chair appointed as a conference committee Messrs. Allison, Hate and lkck. THE INDIAN TROUBLES. Mr. Dawes explained the remaining differ ences on tne Indian bill to he Ihe provision prohibiting the carrying of wluskv into the Indian Territory, tliai disarming the lndiars, and that relating to the Oklahoma Territory. These, Mr. Dawes added, were good provis ions, but were at present in such form on the bill as to do more harm than good. Pen ling < oqsiilcration of this matter Mr. Conger, at It o’cloek. moved that when the Senate adjourn to-day, the legislative day be ing March 2 until noon to-day, it lie to meet at 1 o’clock on March 3, this afternoon. This was agreed to. Mr. Sherman explained that an erroneous impression seemed to prevail that the com mittee of arrangements appointed by the Senate to take cnarge of tlie inaugural cere monies had, with respect to the conduct of Ihe coming inaugural, departed from the old established rule. lie (Mr. Sherman) had had ad the old programmes looked up, and he could positively stale that not only h id the House of Representatives not been discrimi nated agaii.s*, but that in the present instance tlie precedents bad been somewhat departed from in favor of members of the House. He (Mr. Sherman) would be very s rry that any want of consideration should he shown to the House of Representatives. He read the pro gramme of 1845 to show that in old practice the H us of Representatives was not rerog ni/.ed at all. Mr. Hawley read the programme of Presi dent I Indian aii’s inauguration to show greater consideration shown now tiian had been shown then for the House of Representatives. THK MATTER DROPPED. Mr. Frye objected to further discussion of this subject, and it was allowed to drop. Tlie Indian conference report was again taken tip Mr. Dawes moved that the Senate in ist on the remaining amendments. Mr. Mauderson moved that the Senate re cede us to Ihe amendment exlending the time for the payment for Indian lands. Mr. Van Wyck satirically said that the Senate could not agree to the legislative provis ions on an appropriation bill when put on by tlie House, but could itself put on a bill a Pa cific mail subsidy clause when it siw lit. John Roach, Jay Gould and C. P. < until) ,- ton had been defeated on the other end of the capitol, but had demanded that the Senate should violate its own rule*. Mr. Van Wyck supported Mr. Manderson’s motion. Being the motion to recede it had precedence, and was put first. The Senate by a vote of 3 to 33 refused to recede. A further conference was appointed on the Indian appropriation bill. Mr. Allison submitted the conference re port on the general pension bill. No action was taken on it for the present. The Committee on Appropriations submit ted the deficiency appropriation hills. It is the last of the appiopriation bills before the Senate Committee on Appropriations. It comprises over 95 pages, and appropriates si,dll, 133 more than the bill as it passed the House. At 1 o’clock Monday’s session was formally adjourned and Tuesday’s session begun, the Senators not. leaving their seats. On motion of Mr. lt ddleberger the bill re moving the political disabilities of W. 11. Murdaugh, of Virginia, was passed. The general deficiency bill was then pro ceeded with. On motion of Mr. Miller, of New York, an item of SIOO,OOO was added to the bil to com plete the pedestal of the Bartholdi statue of liberty in New York harbor. A number of other amendments were added, none of which were of interest, and the bill passed. The fortifications bill was then taken up and passed with but few amendments. At 7:20 o’clock the Senate went into execu tive session. At 7 :‘H o’clock the doors were reopened and the Senate took a recess until 9 o’clock to night. The Senate after the recess reconvened at 9 o’clock and passed several relief bills. The river and harbor bill was taken up as passed by the House. It appropriated $5,000.- COO in gross. As proposed by the Senate com mittee to be amended it appropriates $lO,- 000,000. Pending debate on the river and harbor bill, Mr. Pendleton offered the following resolu tion, for which he asked quick consideration: Retoleed, That the thanks of the Senate are due and are hereby tendered to lion. George K Edmunds, front Vermont, for the courte ous, impartial and able manner in which he has presided over its deliberalions. The resolution was unanimously agreed 10. Consideration of the river and baibor bill was resumed only to be again interrupted by the new conference report on the Indian ap propriation bill. The only remaining point of difference, Mr. Dawes said, was the provision relating to the Oklahoma lands The H use provision had an arrangement for negotia tions looking to an abandonment of the Indian title, but not prohibiting set tlement of the lands meanwhile by raiders. lie could not understand wby the House was not willing to keep people off the lands. If the negotiation provided for should be successful, there would be land left for the honest settler. Mr. Vest, in moving that the Senate recede from its position, said that if we did not take the House provision, and if nothing was done, the old difficulty would be perpetuated and made worse bv lapse of time. Sir. Vent’s mo tion was agreed to, and the Senate receded from its position. The river and harbor bill tided up the time between the conference reports. On motion of Sir. Vest the Senate took up nd passed tile bill providing for the adoption by American ships of the international regu lations f r preventing collisions at sea. Sir. Dawes submitted the new conference report on the fortification bill showing the adjustment of all differences. On motion of Sir. Pendleton the House bill for the return of the Chinese indemnity fund was taken up and pasted without debate. On notion of Mr. Mitchell the Senate then proceeded to consider the House pension bills ravorably reported from the Senate com mittee. The pension bills having been disposed of the Senate, on motion of Sir. Hawley, passed the House bill providing for the retirement of Henry J. Hunt as Major General of the l!n ted States army. On motion of Mr. McMillan, the Senate passed the House bill to amend section 764 of the itevised statutes so as to allow appeals to the United States Supreme Court in habeas corpus cases. THE DISAGREEMENTS. Washington, Slarch 4, 3 a. m. —Mr. Allison from the committee of conference on the sun dry bill, submitted a report showing that all the amendments of the Senate relating to public buildings, with only minor exceptions had been disagreed to by the House. There was also a disagreement to the Mexican boundary survev and propositions looking to the sale of public property. Most of the other matters in dispute, he said, had been ad justed. He moved that the Senate further insist on its amendments. The motion was agreed to. The Chair reappointed Messrs. Allison, Hale and Beck as the conference com mittee. IN THE HOUSE. After last night’s press report closed the House diligently proceeded to do nothing while waiting for the sundry civil bill to come over from the Senate. At 2 o’clock a recess ot half an hour was taken. During this period the few members present proceeded to enjoy themselves, which they did by lolling lazily back in their seats, cigar in month and feet on desk, and giving vent to their patriotic sentiments by bursting forth into song. ••Dixie.” "Star Spangled Banner,” “John Brown’s Body,” “Y'ankee Doodle” and "Hail Columbia” followed each other in quick suc cession, and then, becoming more sentimental, the gentlemen expressed their admiration for "The Old Folks at Home,” and informed each other in musical accents that "There’s a land that is fairer than day.” At 2:30 o’clock the House was called to order, and at 3:55 took a recess until 9 o’clock this morning. There were hardly a dozen members in the hall when the session was resumed at 9o’clock. The sundry civil bill had in the meantime come over from the Senate heavily loaded with amendments. Mr. Randall asked unanimous consent that thi- bill be taken up, and the Senate amend ments non-coneurred in and sent to a confer ence committee, hut objection came from Mr. Hepburn and then there was a call of the House, which clo.mg at 9:30 o’clock, showed the presence of only 45 members. Mr. Raudall’s motion was then renewed and agreed to, and Messrs. Randall, Forney and Ryan were appointed conferees on the part of the House. After various ineffectual attempts to have bills t ken up by unanimous consent, and it being plainly impossible to have any public business transacted, the House at 10 o’clock adjourned till U. When the House reconvened at 11 o’clock the Speaker announced that, owing to the continued session of the House from 11 o’clock yesterday morning to almost 4 o’clock this morning, the journal was not prepared and its reading was temporarily dispensed with. THE CONTESTED ELECTION CASE. Mr. Valentine immediately moved that the House take a recess until 10 o’clock to-night, his object being to prevent consideration of tbe contested election case of Frederick vs. Wilson, of lowa. The Republicans refrained from voting on the motion for a recess, and left the House without a quorum. N'o attempt was made to transact any ousi ness until Mr. Townshend submitted the re port of the conference committee on the post office appropriation bill announcing continued disagreement. Mr. Townshend stated that there were several points of difference be tween the two houses, the most important of which was on the Senate amendment relatiug to the ocean mail service. He was opposed to this because be regarded it in the light of a sutisidy proposition and becau e it entrusted dangerous power to the Postmaster General. Pending debate the Speaker laid before the House a communication from G. H. Craig. Represent tive from tne Fourth Alabama district, stating that he had forwarded to the Governor of that State his resignation, to take effect at midday on March 3. The com munication was laid on the table. After a long debate the Uouse refused, by a vote of 133 yeas to 132 nays, to concur in the Senate amendment to the post oflic ■ i-ppro priaiion bdl relative to oceau mail transpor tation. The remaining amendments were concurred in. The conference committee on the Indian appropriation bill reported a disagreement on some of the disputed amendments, and a further conference was ordered. The conference report ou the pension ap propriation bill was adopted. The House recedes from its disagreement to all the Senate amendments, aud, as finally agreed to, the bill appropriates sfio,ooo,coo. The House then, at 5:15 o’clock, took a recess till 7.30 o’clock this evening. Upon reconvening numerous motions to take a recess were made to again prevent consideration of the election cases. Tlie point of no quorum was raised. Mr. Robinson, of New York, made an ap peal, “ns the last word he would ever say iu Washington,” asking the House to make a donation of any amount to Miss Micklcham, a granddaughter of Jefferson, and requested unanim us consent for the passage of the hill making an appropriation for that purpose. Mr. nammoud, of Georgia, objected. THK DEFICIENCY APPROPRIATION BILL. At 10:30 o’clock the deficiency appropria tion bill was received from the Senate. The Senate amendments were lion-concurred in, and Messrs. Iturnes, Randall and Long were appointed conferees. Time dragged along slowly, tlie monotonous voice of the Clerk enunciating the names of the members beiug only varied i*y the mem bers themselves passing lazily between the tel ers as the question of “no quorum” was raised uuoti various dilatory motions. Tired out from the long session of last night, the Representatives took no interest in the pro ceedings, rarely voting, but leaning back in the chairs, smoking and amusing themselves. At midnight the condition of the appropria tion bills was as follows: The legislative was all agreed to except the proviiion for clerks to Senators. The sundry civil bill was agreed to except the provisions lor public buildings. The post office bill had just been reported to tbe House, with non-coneurri nee in respect to the so-called ocean subsidy clause. The conferee, were at work on the naval hill. The Indian bill only lacked concurrence upon the Oklahoma provision. The fortifications and deficiency-bills had passed both Houses but bad not yet gor.e to conference. An extra session remained a possibility but was nut probable. Should the deficiency lull alone be left, and that was the one which was in the mo,t danger, it was not thought that an extra se-sion would be called for it. The deficiency bill appropriates f4,- 00.- 000 lor carrying on certain public functions during the remainder of the fiscal year, aud a way may probably be found to tide over the interval ti 1 the next regular session. The prospect at present is that the House will remain iu session till early in the morn ing. It is now discussing the conference re port ou the post office appropriation bill, and it is probably the opinion of inuny that should the llou e insist upon its disagreement to the Senate amendment relative to ocean mail transportation an extru session is unavoida ble. The House adopted the conference report on the fortification appropriation bill. The post office bill is still under considera tion. THE INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILL. Washington, March 4,3 A. m.—At 12:30 o’clock the conference report on the Indian appropriation bill was submitted and agreed to. STILL IN SESSION. Washington, March 4,3:15 a. h.—At this hour both Houses are In session,with no pros pect of immediate adjournment. AN HEIRESS TO MILLIONS. The Y'at Fortune that Awaits Mrs. Leopold Guwprich,of New York. New York, March 1.-Mrs. Leopold Gumprich, of 234 East Seventy-9ixth street, whose husband is a commercial traveler ot middle age, is heiress to a vast English fortune. Gumprich married his wife 20 years ago, alter overcoming with difficulty the objections of her parents, respectable people of Carlsruhe, Ger many, where the courtship was carried on. In the wite’s family there was a tra dition of a rich “Aunt Rosalie” living in England. It now appears from papers certified to by Count Herbert Bismarck, while Secretary of the German Legation in London, that the heirs ol one Rosalie Levi are entitled to a fortune variously estimated at from $50,000,000 to $75,000,- 000. That Mrs. Leopold Gumprich is one oi these fortunate heirs, and will sooner or later come into a property of between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 there seems to be no doubt. Toward the close of tbe last century Rosalie YV’eil, a professional nurse, went trom Germany to Italy, and there met a wealthy English Hebrew named Jesua Levi, who, being in bad health, married her in order to have somebody to take care of him. He died a few years later, leav ing his entire fortune to his wife. In 1803 Mrs. Levi died, and the English Court ol Chancery took charge of her property and deposited tbe money, which then amounted to $2,000,00*1, in the Bank of England. By the natural increase from interest this sum has now reached the enormous fig ures above given. Recently the Court ot Chancery, impressed by the magnitude of the sum, has. ol its own volition, stirred about to find the rightful claimants, and it seems now but a question of a few months before the property is divided among those to whom it belongs. Mrs. Levi had no sisters and but one brother— Hirsch YVeil, who Jeft but one daughter. Her name was Lea Weil, and she married Emanuel Frank. They bad nine children. AU of these nine children married and left issue with the exception of one daughter, who is now over 80 years of age. Mrs. Gumprich is the daughter of one of these nine children. Her share will be at least $1,500,000, and it may be vastly greater. Sexton Stopped. London, March 3.—ln the House of Commons this evening Thomas .Sexton, Home Rule member for Sligo, asked per mission to move the adjournment of tbe House till he could call attention to Mr. O'Brien’s suspension. The Speaker stopped Mr. Sexton and told him that it he wished to impugn the Speaker’s con duct he must make a motion to that j effect; tbe Chair could not allow any such j motion as that just made for an adjourn ment to be put. [Loud cheers.] Mr. Sexton appealed to Premier Gladstone to allow discussion upon the motion to ad journ. Premier Gladstone said that there was nothing in Mr. Sexton’s motion en titling the mover to any special facilities. The debate upon the redistribution of seats bill was then resumed. The Exposition. New Orleans, March S.—The Exhibi tors Association voted to-day to assist the management in preparing elaborate cere monies for the proposed manufacturers day.

Philadelphia, March I.—A special dispatch to the Timex from Reading, Penn., says: ‘‘The uovel ceremony of a public baptism In the icy waters of the Schuylkill river took place here to-day. The Mennonite Brethren in Christ is the name of anew denomination which has recently started up in alt the small towns in Eastern Pennsylvania. Converts are not members of the church until they are publicly baptized. This must be done immediately after religion is ‘jxperi enced.’ This afternoon was cold and it was raining hard, but a lar. e crowd of people turned out under umbrellas to witness the ceremony. At 3 o’clock the converts arrived, singing songs. The men were in their stocking feet, going manfully through the slush and snow. There were four men and two women. The Rev. W. B. Mvsselman, the pastor, wailed in and sounded the depth ot the water with a long polo. He then bade the faithful to follow him, and they waded in to their armpits. With the words, ‘Upon the profession of your faith, I baptize you in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost,’ he dipped each backward, held them in the water for a moment, and then brought them up again. One of the men became ‘happy’ in the water, and the pastor had quite a'struggle with him to get him out. While the people were in the water large cakes ot ice were floating round about them iu every direction. These people say they never experience any ill effects from their ducking, be cause God takes care of them. They stood on the shore singing songs until their clothing was frozen stiff. Frequent ly the ice has to be cut away with axes before they can get into the water. The church, although of recent origin, has branches in many counties of Eastern Pennsylvania.” Dying of Hydrophobia. New Orleans, March 2.— James Reed died in this city this morning of hydro phobia, alter suffering terrible agonies. About ten months ago he was bitten by a small dog in the fleshy part of the left hand, just below and between the thumb and index finger. The wound was about a quarter oi an inch deep, bled prolusely, and healed in nine days. Instead of hav ing the wound cauterized or attended by a physician, Reed saturated it with tur pentine, and, as it healed, he paid no more attention to it. He was taken sick on Thursday. His disease first showed itself when he was endeavoring to wash bis hands, which he found it impossible to do. The characteristics of the malady were more like delirium tremens than hydrophobia, the sick man insisting that he was being devoured by dogs and snakes. It was found necessary to chain him to the bed yesterday, when he became very violent. Convulsion after convulsion followed each other until he expired of exhaustion. NEWS IN A NUTSHELiLi.
