UNDER BRICK WALLS.
Three Mon Killod and Three Fatally
Injured by Falling Brick.
Jonesboro, Tenn., was ihrowu into a
terrible state of excitement over au awful
catastrophe that took place there Friday
a f ttrnoon by which throe men wore in¬
stantly killed and three more mortally
wounded.
The officials of Washington county
were having some new vaults made to
the court house, on the east end of the
same. There were seven men at work
on the vaults when the accident happen¬
ed. When the walls gave way all but one
were precipitated a distance of for:y ftet
from the top of the walls into the bottom
of the lower vault, aud covered from
view by brick and mortar. Hands were
at once set to work to remove the debris
from over the men. A ter a ft w minutes
the dea l bodies of Branco E-s ridge, Ja?.
Wilson and Frank May wire brought
out. Work was continued aud IVr.dc
Snodgrass and Eli Moore were brough t
out. The contractor only escaped instant
death by bai gmg with a pole, and was
lef dangling lorty fe.t in the air. Two
other workmen were badly hurt.
The cause of the accident is supposed
to be an insufficiency of mortar to hold
the brick together, and failure to tie to
the main building. A great deal of in¬
dignation was expressed in regard to the
architeo' and on tractor.

N ATION AL CAPITAL
What is Being Done in Congressional
Halls for the Country’s Welfare.
PROCEEDINGS FROM DAY TO DAY BRIEFLY
TOLD—BILLS AND MEASURES UNDER
CONSIDERATION—OTHER NOTES.
THE HOUSE.
Thursday— The deba’e in the Rock¬
well ca=e went on again all day Thurs¬
day. The first speaker was Mr. D Forest,
of Connecticut, wh> supported the
claims of the contestant, regretting,
however, that he would be obliged to
cast his vote to scat a republican and to
unseat a democrat who had earned the
esteem of his colleagues during his ser¬
vice on the floor. John Allen, of Mis¬
sissippi, made the speech of the day.
His hearers were, however, somewhat
disappointed because he argued the case
seriously, when they expect d a funny
speech. John R. Fellows, of New York,
will close the debate for the Rockwell
side, and Mr. O’Ferrall, of Virginia, for
Noyes. Then the vote will be taken.
Friday .—Mr. Rockwell retains his seat
in the house by a close fight which was
only won after a battle of intense excite¬
ment. The debate over the case Friday
was exciting and lurid. The galleries
were crowded as they have not been be¬
fore this session. That fact was due to
the announcement that John R. Fellows,
the great New York orator, was to open
the debate. Mr. Fellows began shortly
after opening, and for an hour and a half
kept the close attention of tbe house.
He made a magnificent argument and
was repeatedly applauded. When Colo¬
nel Fellows concluded he yielded fifteen
minutes of his time which remained to
Bourke Cockran. Objection was raised
to this, and Colonel O’Ferrall suggested
that the Rockwell people had already
consumed more time than had been used
in support of the majority report.
“Fighting” Joe Wheeler quickly pro¬
duced figures to -how that the difference
was only twenty-five minutes in favor of
Rockwell. A lively interruption of
O’Ferrall by Wheeler caused O’Ferrall to
remark that Wheeler was a greater nui¬
sance than mosquitoes in New Jersey.
After some pleasant sparring the fifteen
minutes were given to Cockran,
Mr. Cockran’s language was scathing; his
oratory impressive. lie ininced no
words, and his Phillipic, addressed
against the majority report, was very
powerful and was receive i with great
applause by his colleagues. When Mr.
O’Ferrall arose to close the debate, there
was fire in his eyes. He male a thun¬
derous speech. He first attacked Mr.
Cockran, and in the course of his remarks
he referred to the crit'cism that had been
made on his democracy and to his sup¬
posed preference to a certain candidate
for the presidency. He did have such
preference, he said, as was his privdege.
He said he hoped that a calm would suc¬
ceed the hurricane which had just passed
over the house. Tbe speech of the gen¬
tleman from New York reminded him of
a little story. A belated traveler was
journeying over a country roa I, in the
midst of a storm. His horse he guided
by the fire of the lightning. But al¬
though the storm was a fierce one, the
flashes were infrequent, while peals of
thunder were incessant. Finally the
wayfarer sent up the invocation, “Oh,
Lord, I would like to have a little more
light and not quite so much noise.”(IiOng
continued laughter.) At the conclusion
Mr. O’Ferrall moved the previous ques¬
tion. It carried and tbe first vote was
on the resolution declaring Mr. Noyes
was not elected. When the roll call
commenced there was much excitement.
Runners were sent out by both factions
to bring in all absentees and nearly every
member in the city voted. The resolu¬
tion carried by 140 to 98, disposing of
Mr. Noyes. On this vote forty democrats
and nine third partyites voted with the
solid republican resolution side. The nt xt vote was
on the declaring Mr. Rockwell
elected. Ou this tbe vote stood 128 to
106, the house thereby declaring that
Mr. Rockwell was elected. On this
forty-four democrats and all the third
pirty men voted against Mr. Rockwell
and with the solid republican side.
The ballot decided, Mr. Bryan moved to
recommit the entire matter to the com¬
mittee on elections, with instructions to
examine more closely into tbe evidence
and report again. This was, however,
defeated by a vote of 110 to 125. This
was followed bv the adoption of the re¬
port of the minontv of the election com¬
mittee, declaring Mr. Rockwell entitled
to the seat. That ended the longest con¬
tested election case before the house in
many years.
Saturday. —There was a calm in the
house Saturday, succeeding the gale of
Friday. The attendance was small, and
the first half-hour of the session was con
sumed in consideration of a few private
measures.
Monday. —The pending questiou when
the house met Monday morning was the
motion made by Reed, of Maine, Satur¬
day last to lay ou the table the resolu¬
tion expunging the from speech the of records such of
portions of Walker,
Massachusetts, and which reflected on
his colleagues, Messrs. Williams and
Hoar. The republicans refrained from
voting, and the result was, yeas 6, nays
138. No quorum voting, a call of the
house was ordered. The call of the
house showed that there were 213 mem¬
bers present, and Mr. Richardson, of
Tennessee, offered a resolution for the
arrest of absent members by the sergeant-
at-arms. Agreed. Mr. Boutclle made
the point of order that it was not in ordei
for the house to send for absentees when
on a call it was declared that there was
more than a quorum present. After s
brief discussion of the rules the point
was overruled and then further proceed¬
ings under the call were dispensed with
and the question recurred on the motion
to table the expunging resolution. The
motion was rejected—yeas 5, nays 155.
After considerable fillibustering a call of
the house having been ordered and 32C
members responding further proceedings
were dispensed with; and tbe vota re¬
curred on the motion for a recess. This
was lost, but as no quorum voted, tbe
adjourned.

asked unanimous consent that the house
go into committee of the whole for the

sular appropriation bill. There was no
objection, but Mr. B anchard, of Louisi¬
ana, gave notice that on Monday he
would call up the river and harbor bill.
The house then went into committee

the chair) on the diplomatic and consular

the senate.
Thursday.— In the temporary absence
of Vice President Morton, the chair was
occupied by Mr. Manderson, the presi¬
de! t pro tern, of the senate. Mr. Gor¬
man gave notice that Friday, May 6th,
he would ask the senate to consider a
resolution relative to the death of his late
colleague, Mr. WiUon. The senate then
proceeded to the consideration of bills on
the calendar.
Friday.— In the sena e the army ap-
propri ition bill was reported and placed
on the calendar, Sir. Stewatt giving no¬
tice that he would call it up Monday,
provided it did not interfere with the
Chinese bill. The senate bill appropri¬
ating $64,000 for William and Mary col¬
lege, of Virginia, for occupation and
damages by the United States troops
during the war was taken from the cal¬
endar and passed. The urgency defi¬
ciency bill was then taken up and the
following, among other amendments,
agreed to: Appropriating $25,000 for
the expense of representation of the
United States at the Columb au historical
exposition at Madrid in 1892 in com¬
memoration of the four hundredth anni¬
versary of the discovery of America.
Appropriating $100,000 for continuing
work of the eleventh census, striking out
the appropriation of $4,036 for printing a
new edition of the postal laws and regu¬
lations, the bill as amended was then
passed. The calendar was then taken up.
Saturday.— In the senate Saturday,
after the routine of morning business Mr.
Teller offered a resolution requesting the
president to inform the senate what steps,
if any, have been taken toward the secur¬
ing of an international conference to con¬
sider the question of the free coinage of
silver at the mints of the nations partici¬
pating in such a conference, or as to the
enlarged use of silver in the currency of
sucb countries; also, to transmit copies
of all correspondence between the United
States government and the other govern¬
ments which are expected to participate
in the proceedings of such an interna¬
tional conference. The resolution was
modified by adding the words, “if not
incompatible with public interests,” and
agreed to. Mr. Call offered a reso¬
lution (which went over without
action) for the appointment of a
committee of nine senators to in¬
quire into the present value per mile of
ail the railways of the United States,
their present capitalization and difference
between such capitalization and actual
cost of construction and equipment; their
gross and net ,eceipts; uumber and com¬
pensation of their employes; their amount
of bonded indebtedness and capital stock;
amount of stock and bonds held by stock¬
holders and bondholder-, distinguishing
between home and foreign holders. The
bill appropriating $50,000 for a public
building at Salem, xYla., was reported
and placed on the calendar.
Monday.— In the senate, Monday, Mr.
Ilutler gave notice that on Thursday of
next week he would ask the senate to
lake up for action the bill to transfer
revenue marine from the treasury depart¬
ment to the navy department. Mr. Alli¬
son expressed the hope that when ap¬
propriation bills are ready they would
take precedence of all other matters.
Mr. Coke gave notice that he would ad¬
dress the senate very briefly Tuesday on
Mr. Morgan’s silver resolution.
The Chinese exclusion bill was then tak¬
en up and the presiding officer put the
question on the adoption of the substitute
reported by the committee on foreign
relations. Considerable discussion was
indulged in. The vote was taken on the
substitute reported from the committee
on foreign relations for the house bill,
and the substitute was agreed to
—ye is, 43, nays, 14. Several
other amendments were offered
but ail failed of adoption. The bill as
amended was then passed without divis¬
ion, and the title was amended to read :
“To Prohibit tbe Coming of Chinese Per¬
sons Into the United States.” A confer¬
ence with the house was asked, and
Mes-rs. Dolph, Davis and Butler were
appointed conferees on executive the part of the
senate. After a brief session
the senate adjourned.
Tuesday^ —Af er some routine morning
business, Mr. Coke addressed the senate
in favor of the free coinage of silver, bas¬
ing his remarks on Mr. Morgan’s resolu-
ion oa that subject. During the first
half hour of his speech, Mr. Coke had
many attentive and apparently interested
listeners am mg the senators. Mr. Daniel
was the next speaker on the same subject
and on tbe same side of the question,
lie began by saying that there were
rocks ahead, that the ship of state was
urif. logon them; that, ere long, it
would strike them, and that no master
of finance appeared to save the ship, crew
or career Gold was the cry—gold-,
gold—nothing but go;d, although of this
was the greatest silver nation the world
an i although—it its financial system were
equal to its opportunities it might
dominate the financial markets of the
world. Gold was not now in circu.ation.
He had be n drawing money from the
treasury for the last six years and had
never yet been paid: a dohar m gold and
did not know whether he could get a
gold dollar if he desired to obtain one.
At the close of Mr. Daniel s speech the
army appropriation bill was taken up. Af-
ter several senate amendments had been
agreed to, Mr. Cockrell cal ed for a sep-
arate vote on the amendment, striking
out of the bill the proviso transportation that no money
shall be paid for the of
tro 'ps and army supplies over any of the
non bonded lines owned, controlled
operated by the Union Pacific Railway
Company, including the lines of the
Oregon Short Line and the Utah North-
era Railway Company, or by the South-
t-rn Pacific company over lines embraced
ia its Pacific system. Debate on the
amendment lasted till 5 o’clock when,
without disposing of the amendment,
the senate adjourned.

There was a sensational scene in the
committee investigating the pension
office Tuesday. Two able statesmen,
Commissioner Raum and Mr. Enloe, de¬
nounced each other as liars and gathered
up ink stauds to pelt one another when
friends interfered and stopped the ivar.
The special committee investigating the
conduct of the pension bureau bad been
in session but a short time when
Prosecutor Enloe put to Commissioner
Raum an inquiry as to whether or not
Raum himself had not furnished Special
Examiner Greenwalt with $15 to be used
for the purpose of entrapping an attorney
named Foote, of Kalamazoo Mich., sus¬
pected of being engaged in buying for¬
bidden information with reference to
pension cases. Commissioner Raum de¬
nied that he had, whereupon Enloe called
him a liar, and grasping a small glass
sponge cup on the table in front of him,
made a movement to get afc tne commis¬
sioner who was sitting in the witness
chair immediately across the table and
and about six feet away. The sudden¬
ness of the violent turn given affairs took
all hands by surprise. Friends inter¬
fered and stopped the war.

WORK OF ANARCHISTS.
A Building Blown up by them
Paris—A Reign of Terror.
Paris cablegram says: The restaurant
of "Very, who on March 30th delivered
Ravachol, of the the anarchist, into the hands
9:40 police, was utterly wrcckei at
o'clock Monday night by a bomb
explosion. has Since Ravachol’s nrrest, Very
disaster. frequently been threatened with such
a The force of the explosion
was terrific and widely felt, and an enor-
mous crowd quickly gathered about tbe
shattered building. The police on
entering, found Very lying on the floor
of the restaurant, in the midst of heaps
of debris, groaning with fright and pain.
One of his legs had been broken and he
was sent to the hospital, where it was
found necessary to amputate his leg.
He died shortly after the operation. A
grand-daughter and of Very wa3 also injured,
two ladies living iu rooms located
over the restaurant were badly shaken
and bruised. Very's wife was not in¬
jured, but she has lost her senses and is
raving. It
is the geneial opinion that the ex¬
plosion was perpetrated mainly to terror¬
ize the jurymen who will be on duty at
Ravachol’s trial. The police have a the¬
ory that the bomb was thrown into the
basement of the building through a grat¬
ing. News of the explosion quickly
spread throughout the city, creating con-
sternation, especially on the boulevards,
where exaggerated reports of the affair
were current.
Lots have been drawn by persons sum¬
moned to act as jurors at the trial of
Ravachol. One of the jurors has written
to the Figaro complaining that the po¬
litical importance which has been given
to the trial by charging the prisoner with
being guilty of an explosion instead of
murder, has endangered the lives of all
persons concerned in the case. The ex¬
plosion in Very’s cafe has terrorized the
jury selected to try Ravachol and officials
who are in any way connected with bis
trial.
Later dispatches stale that the trial of
Ravachol, alias a half dozen other names,
charged, with Achiile Simon, alias “Bis¬
cuit;” James Btala, alias James Marius:
Charles Ferdinand Chaumartin and a
girl, Rosalie Souber, began Tuesday at
the Seine assize? court at 11 o’clock. So
many threa' have been made that the
friends of the prisoners would attempt
some desperate act to either free the ac¬
cused or prevent the trial that admission
to the court room was severely restricted.
Only those personally known to the court
officials, journalists and twenty-two wit¬
ness! s were admitted.
The threats of the friends of the pris¬
oners lave evidently gr< atly frighteued
the jurors and journalists present ex¬
pressed the opinion that it would require
very strong evidence to convince the
jurors of the guilt of the accused, or
rather to force them to render a verdict
of guilty iu the face of threats of death
that have been made against them if they
decide against the prisoners. The ex¬
plosion of Monday night no doubt has
much to do with the very apparent un¬
willingness of the jurors to serve in the
case, for that is taken to prove that the
police will not be ab’e to protect the
jurors after tbe trial is finished.
Ravachol and Simon were found guilty
and were sentenced to penal servitude
for life. The other prisoners were ac¬
quitted. dictment When the reading of the in¬
was conculded, Ravachol, in a
nonchalant manner admitted hie guilt
and took upon himself the entire respon¬
sibility for the Boulevard St. German
and Rue Clichy explosions. When ques¬
tioned as to his motives for causing the
explosions Ravachol replied:
“I felt a feeling of just anger at the
conviction of Levallios and Perret. I do
not thii k that Benoit and Bulot should
have demanded the death of fathers of
families. Then again the brutality of
the police when they arrested my com¬
rades revolted my conscience and I de¬
termined upon revenge.
BUSINESS TALK.
The Agency of Dun & Co. Report a
Bright Outlook.
R. G. Dun & Co.’s review of trade for
week ended April 23d, says the business
failures occurring throughout the coun
try during the week, number for ilie
United States, 178; Canada, 23. Total
201. The bad weather has interferred
with trade at a good many points and
delay in seeding in the west. The pros¬
pects are bright and business is much
greater than last year and the general
conditions of trade remain favorable.
In cotton the farther advance of £ has
occurred notwithstanding the materia!
decline in the receipts and exports. The
receipts have fallen off still more, but the
stocks at New York and abioad are
enormou3 and the reports of the dcreased
yield are by no means as definite and
positive as they were a year ago, though
the actual yield last year was the largest
ever known. Very little change is seen
the great industries, though the demand
for iron at some points distinctly im¬
proves. At Memphis business is dull.
At Savannah it is somewhat diminished
and at New Orleans quiet, notwithstand¬
ing the improvement in cotton and the
strength in sugar and rice.

WILLIAM ASTOR DEAD.
The Multi-Millionaire Succumbs to a
Sudden Attack of Heart Disease.
A special to The New York Evening
World from Paris states that William
Astor died Monday night at the Hotel
Liverpool. The cause was heart failure.
Mr. Astor was the father of Mrs. J. Cole¬
man Drayton and was great iy worried

nephew, William Waldorf Astor, and
probably Jay Gould, William Astor, was

Canaries.
A correspondent of the London Spec¬
tator writes chattily of his pet canaries,
and seems to show that they are very-
human in their reason and unreason.
During some intensely hot weather, drooped,
when the hen was sitting, she
and it seemed as if she would not be
able to hatch her eggs. The cock, how¬
ever, showed himself an excellent nurse.
After bathing in frgsh, cold water, he
went every morning to the edge of the
nest and allowed the hen to refresh her¬
self by burying her head in his breast.
A green and yellow canary hung side
by side, and were treated exactly alike.
One day three dandelion blossoms were
given to the green bird aud two to the
yellow one. The latter showed his an¬
ger at the proceeding shrill by “flying about
bis cage, singing in a voice.” But
when one of the three flowers was taken
away, both birds seemed quietly to en¬
joy their feast.
One recommendation to buy white os¬
trich feather fans is they can b.- dyed
when soiled.
