Whereas, the importance of the questions
involved demand the more careful and
painstaking study of the whole subject to
the end that a wiser plan of managing the
convicts after the expiration of the pres
ent lease may be formulated and hasty leg
islation avoided, therefore be it
Resolved, That a joint committee of
three from the senate and five from the

erly to determine the question, the same

The house went into committee of the

for some time. Pending action the com
mittee rose and the morning hour ex

arising in his seat, said:
“Mr. Speaker, I move that the house re
solve itself into a committee of the whole
on the state of the union, for the purpose

Washington, December 18.—The house
on motion of Mr. Word, of Indiana, took
up the senate amendment to the house bill
which authorized the employment of mail
messengers iu the postal service. They
were non concurred in and n conference
ordered. The speaker appointed Mr.
Bacon, of New York, to fill the vacancies

New York, December 18.—The stock
market to-day exhibited a marked change
from the previous days of the week and in
stead of the pressure and rush, a waiting
tendency was developed which eon-1
fined fluctuations within
ti.ely small range and restricted
tions to such an extent that, the business
ot the day foots up just a little over half |
in Chicago of a challenge on the part of
the federation of trades conference at Co
lumbus against the knights, and the move
is of more importance than is apparent at
first glance, when the fact is taken Into
consideration that Rodgors, Foler and
Nelson have figured for a long time among
the leaders of labor organizations. They
have been among tho most
active workers and they have,
with rave exceptions, been found
antagonizing this element in the trades as
sembly, to whoso. councils they have al
ways hud entree and in which they have
wielded material influence. Nelson has
been a candidate for pi-esident of tho as
sembly, but never succeeded in securing an
election. George Rodgers is a member of
state executive and district assembly 24 ex
ecutive board; and John Foler is on the
executive boards of No. 24. The promin
ence of these gentlemen gives a tinge of
sensationalism to the action of No. 1755 in
calling on them to withdraw from
the trades’ assombly, and the meet
ing of tho latter body to-morrow afternoon
gives promise of being a lively one. It is
denied in what ought to be uuthorative
circles that Grand Master Workman Pow-
derly’s order to the knights to withdraw
their delegates from the trades assemblies
had reached here, but if it has not it iH as
serted that it is expected and No. 1755 has
forestalled it. It is believed other assem
blies will undoubtedly follow suit and that
much anticipated intereine war in labor
organizations has begun.
A Heavy Explosion.
IndtANATOLIS, December 18.—Tlie Jour
nal’s Kokotua special reports that gas was
struck in well No. 2 at that point yester
day, and in running tne drill the gas was
by some means ignited. A terrific explo
sion followed, and thirty-five persons were
more or less injured. The force of the
explosion threw everybody to the ground,
which probably explains why the Injured
are not fatally burned.

Woman is principally the patient in hys
teria because she i.-. made more emotional.
There is no other possible reason. Illu
sions and hallucinations are frequent in
this disease, thus showing that the mind is
largely the seat of trouble. One patient sees
angels, as Louise Lateau, another demons,
another animals, another thinks every
thing smells fishy, or everything taste sour,
bitter or sweet, as the ease may he; odors
arc smelt when there is nothing to smell,
and tastes are perceived when the mouth is
empty. What a derangement of the per
ceptive faculties! Nerves displaced, will

Water colors are very popular, and are perhaps
the most expensive of the smaller cards in tho
market. Numerous pretty holiday cards are sold
for five and ten cents. The subjects are artistic
and well executed. There is no average price for
holiday cards. They range all the way from a
nlckle to f 15 and $20.
The (Yinged cards are going out offhshion. Tho
present mode of giving a finish to the holiday
cards is very plain. There is quite a prim look
about the edges of the majority of the designs.
Plush corners are greatly favored, and light tint®
are preferred, although there arc a number of
dark rich blues, reds and olive colors, both in
satin and velvet. The painted cards now take
the lead. ^ ^ ^
Ison AND KAKAH ANY,
A Typical Barkey Dialogue Overheard on Tenth
Street Yesterday.
Yesterday evening at 3:110 o’clock an Enquireiv*
Sun repooter stood near a grocery store on Tenth
street. Near by an ancient and weaz* n-faced
colored mamma kept an “eating stand,” stocked
with cooked edibles. A colored man of some
seventy winters who wore a battered beaver, and
who was about three sheets in the wind with tho
fourth one flopping, worm-fenced his way up to
the eating .stand and said:
“Aunt Harann, wat you charge fur do price of
one dem cook fish wid cr half pone er bread flung
ecu fur eat wid um? I bin walk nine miles
dlseveuin’ and I’m hongry Aim (hie) who laid do
rail.”
The old colored woman adjusted her head rag,
and drew on her reservoir of dignity until it was
nearly empty. Turning to the man she said:
“Look yer! filer Isom, you da call me aunty ?
You best go aunty some yuddor ’oman size mo.
You old onuir fur my Aider. Fish an’ bread wuff
flfteen cent, ef you aint bein’ spendun all Air
dram. You’s too Aruuk fur a church man, brer
Isom, you is. Hit’s a bunnin’ shame Air a church
member to git so full er dose yer red dram dnt ho
have to hoi’ on to a pos’ fur stan’ up. You aint
need no fish an’ bread. You best go soak yo*
head an’ sleep ’bout cr day an’ night, dat’s wot
you want. Yon know wot nil you same si do.”
Isom’s two red and swollen eyes shone and
shut alternately like a pair of lightning hugs,
and his decrepid beaver careened more jauntily
than ever on the back of his white and cottony
hair. He looked like a superanuated chimney
sweep, and he felt like a millionaire. While tho
woman was talking to him he tried to step back
ward and slipped and fell in the mud. He got
up brushing the seat of his imitation pantaloons,
and said : /- *
“Hugh! Sistah Harann.”
Sarah Ann—“Don’t you sistah me nor aunty
me outlier. Yon’s drunk, you ole dram guzzlin*
back-slider.”
“Sistah Harann! I say, sistah Harann! De scrip-
ter sez, ‘De righteous stan’ on slippery ground.*

charge of conspiracy were to-day served
upon William O’Brien, John Dillon,
William Redmond, Daniel C.Reilley, David
Sheeby and Mathew Harris, all Parnollite
members of parliament. The alleged con
spiracy to defraud consists in accepting as
trustees for tenants the reduced rents re
fused by landlords. It begins to look ms if
the "government had arrangeed to resist
the “plan of campaign’* by arresting the
trustee under it in every locality where
they accept refused rents.
MORE TROUBLE BREW1NO.
The executive has finally proclaimed the
anti-rent campaign. The new Ross board
of guardians which was recently dissolved
for placing a wing of tlie poor house at tho
nationaUlegue’s disposal and for giving
special privileges to evicted tenants, lias
held a meeting in defiance of the govern
ment and resolved that no rents be paid to
the new board of guardians and that the
treasurer lie ordered not to pay checks. A
large number of Kerry moonlighters have
been sentenced at Cork to eighteen months
imprisonment. u.& KH*
IRISH ELOQUENCE.
During the past two days every shilling
of rent owing by the tenants of Fossell’s
estates at Listowell, county Kerry, minus
tlie amount of reduction demanded by
tenants and refused by landlords, has been
collected under the “nian of campaign,”
and has been deposited iwith trustees,; all
unknown to the authorities.
At a demonstration held last night in
Kilrush, county Clare, in favor of the
“plan of campaign,” Jeremiah Jordan,Par-
nellite member of the house of commons
for West Clare, and Joseph Richard
Cox, Parnollite member for Mast Clare,
both defied the government to do ils worst
by arrests and coercion against the “plan.”
These gentlemen openly declared that the

enforced against the largo Vandelcur es
tates in County Clare upon which the rents
are due to-day. “We will bring Vande-
leur to his senses to morrow,” cried one of
the craters, “by collecting his rents.”
Kerney, member of parliament, also
spoke, and said the Vamle-

since 1840. Cox said that the; Irish nu m

arranged a method to lodge the rents in

tenants are now doing.
SENDING THEIU MONEY TO FRANCE.
The proclaiming of the anti rent cam
paign in Ireland is accepted by the leaders
of the National League as a step on the
government’s part towards the su
sion of the league. The funds ol

in order to prevent their seizure by tlie
authorities, and the rent moneys deposited
with trustees will also be secreted to guard
against their seizure.
