Washington. July 28.—On motion of
Morgan, of Mississippi, the senate bill
passed increasing to #31,000 the limit of
the cost of the public building at Oxford,
Miss.
The speaker announced the appointment
of CobD, Van Eaton and Pay son as con
ferees on the Northern Pacific forfeiture
bill.
Holman, of Indiana, from the confence
committee on the legislative, executive
and judicial bill, reported continued disa
greement. Holman said that a substantial
agreement had been reached on the clauses
increasing the appropriation for internal
revenue employes and making an
appropriation for collecting statis
tics in regard to marriage ana divorce.
This narrowed the disagreement down to
one item of senators’ clerks and upon this
the senate was firm. He moved that the
house recede from its disagreement to the
amendment. Agreed to—yeas 143, nays
93.
A further conference was ordered on the
remaining points of difference.
The house then went into a committee
of the whole on the senate amendments to
the sundry civil appropriation bill. The
amendments were considered without
discsuslon and the recommendations of the
committee on appropriations were agreed
to until the clause relating to silver certifi
cation were reached.
Bland, of Missouri, offered an amend
ment providing that certificates shall be
issued on all standard silver dollars in the
treasury, and paid out on the expenditures
and obligations of the government
and when received in the treasury
shall be re-issued. The amend
ment was rejected—SI to 87—and the
clause was agreed to in the shape recom
mended by the committee on appropria
tions.
The next question upon which a hitch
occurred was the senate amendment re
ducing from 800,000 to #75,000 the appro
priation for the protection of public lands
against fraudulent entries. The commit
tee on appropriations recommended con
currence in tne amendment, but Holman
Tjioved non-concurrence. The motion to
-hon-coneur was lost—66 to 111—and the
amendment was concurred in.
Other amendments were concurred in or
noil-concurred in, according to the recoin
mendation of the committee an appropri
ations, and the committee of the whole
rose and reported the bill and amendments
to the house.
Bland demanded a separate vote upon
the concurring in the senate amendment,
to the silver certificate clause. As amended
it was so concurred in—116 to 35—Bland
not being able to muster a sufficient follow
ing to order the yeas and nays.
The action of the committee of the
whole on the other amendments was then
ratified and a conference ordered.
Holman, of Indiana, submitted the con
ference repovton the legislative appropria
tion bill and it was agreed to.
The house then, at 5:15, adjourned.
Senate.
Washington, July 28.—McMillan, from
the conference committee on the river and
harbor bill, reported the committee
unable to agree.
The chair iMr. Shermani thereupon laid
before the senate a message from the house
to the effect that it had instructed its con
ferees to insist on striking from the bill the
item as to Portage lake and hake Superior
ship canal. Lake Michigan ami Honuepen
canal, Sturgeon bay and Lake Michigan
ship canal, Mississippi river improvements
ami Potomac river improvements.
McMillan remarked that there was a par
liamentary question as to the right of the
house to give these instructions and re
move the conference from being a ‘‘full
and free conference.” The senate con
ferees, however, had concluded to “waive”
that question, as the session was so near it-:
close, and as tile interests of the country
required action on the bill. He, therefore,
moved that the senate insist on its dis
agreement. and agree to the conference
asked by the house.
After a long discussion the resolution
was adopted, that the senate insists on its
amendments, including those mentioned
in the house resolutions, and agree to the
conference asked for.
McMillan, Conger and Ransom were re
appointed conferees on the part of the
senate.
The senate then took up the fortification
bill, Allison giving notice that as soon as
it was disposed of he would ask for the
consideration of the surplus resolution.
Dawes, who had charge of the fortifica
tion bill, stated that as the bill came from
the house it appropriated #6,200,W0, al
though the estimates of the department
were about #3,000,000. The amount added
to tbe bill wus #8,010,000, so that it now
appropriated #6,030,000. Although the
senate was impatient at any debate, be
thought it would contribute to the speedy
disposition of the bill if he should as briefly
as possible explain what had led the com
mittee to make such a recommendation.
He then proceeded to point out the ex
posed condition of the American ports and
the weakness of the navy as a means ot
defense against foreign attack.
Hawley said the little fight between the
Merrimac and the monitor had revolu
lionized the great navies of the world.
TheVnited States had given that lesson,
but had left work since. He invited the
senators without reference to party to
look into the consideration of the serious
ence commit lee. on the legislative appro
priation bill, submitted a ,rt, which
was agreed to. He exp i that two
subjects of difference I.-- .\- u the houses
'vc re the item for tbe collection of internal
revenue and the item respecting statistical
information as to marriage ami divorce, ;
As to tile first item, the committee laid |
compromised on the appropriation of.#l,-
970,000, and as to the other item the senate
conferences had been obliged to surrender. Tit
the bouse conferees insisting robustly and '!
continuously that they would riot consent „
to it. . .
The consideration of the fortification '
bill was resumed.

Haymarket tragedy, did not tell j
what lie saw. He did not
tell his landlord or landlady with whom
he was staying. He did not think it con

This they ask for. As inasmuch as it is

their control, it Mould seem but just and
reasonable that this request should be

people if the suggestion now made is

to rebid and thus save the improvements

SHARON, Pa., July 28.—The case of the
Cincinnati woman who created a sensa
tion by proclaiming herself the Deity, is
duplicated at Wheatland, a village tu'O
miles south of Sharon, by a young lady,
who, apart from her present delusion, ap
pears intellectually brilliant. Arming
herself with a club, she goes to the home s
of residents, and by threats and exhorta
tions compels them to temporarily aban
don their premises. She gives os a reason
tiie statement that the placo is God’s
ground, and that their presence is a dese
cration. She says the village iB under a
curse, and finds many believers, as, from a
prosperous manufacturing town, it has ret

village. She iH now holding religious ser

Samuel J. Tilden to himself, condemning

said that no more statesmen-like or patri
otic sentiment had been expressed among

“The apathy of congress on this subject
Mould be incredible if it did not confront
us. It contrasts M’ith the rivalry which l

a very deep feeling against him. The let

addressed to the editor|of apaper in Macon

Cincinnati Enquirer.
Lima, (>., .July 26.- Tile following re
markable story was relat ed to I be Enquirer
correspondent by a reliable farmer n’ho
lives near Uie county line betu’cen this and
Mercer county:
Last week, while at work in tiie fields, a
farmer by tbe name nf Sylvester Ryedan,
owner of several hundred acres of fine
limiting land in Mercer county, began
cursing in a most shocking manner about
the drought injuring his crops, and wound
up with an oath that lie would
cut God’s heart out if He
would come doM’p. No sooner were the
words uttered than a vivid streak of tire
resembling lightning came down from tiie
cloudless sky and struck Redyan. His
companions who were in the harvest field
with him were rendered insensible for
several minutes. When they recovered
they were nearly frightened to death at
the sight which presented itself. Redyan.
the mail who just a few seconds before hud
uttered the terrible curse, had been trans
formed into stone, and lay on the ground
near M’here he had stood when he made
the shocking offer to the supreme being.
His clothes had been burned from him,and
the lips were parted in the stone figure
just as Redyan had finished the oath. An
aM’ful heat arose from the piece of stone,
and was so intense that no person could go
near it.
While the story is so strange that it may
not be believed by many, its truth is
vouched for by my informant and several
other as equally reliable men of that vicin
ity, with whom your correspondent lias
talked regarding the strange affair. Each
of them had been to the place and seen
tiie transfigured body, and do not hesitate
to say that every word of the account
which I have given is correct. One man

miles, said: “This mare is a flying. 1 think
