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. A BI-METAL1C CONVENTION Called to Meet in Washington City May 26th, Next. The national silver committee at its meeting Friday, decided to call a national bi metalic convention to meet in Wash- ingt ui City Thursday, May 20th, 1892.

He was arrested at Cn ster, Pa , Thursday night, and was immediately taken back to Lincoln. THE TOCCOA NEWS AND PIEDMONT INDUSTRIAL 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. Tuesday.— la the house, Tuesday morning, after three private biils were passed, the regular order was dem and- d TOCCOA, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1892. and he speaker st ited the regular onier to b; the passigeof the Walker expung¬ ing resoluti on.

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 whole (Mr. Oat s, of Alabama, in the chair) on the diplomatic and consular appropriation ed bill. Mr. Blount explain¬ the provisions of the measure.

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. judiciary'committee > NOTES.

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. Tin? Chinese Bill.

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. TOBACCO FOR FOREIGNERS.

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 over the Barrowe-Fox-Milbank scandal, in which she was involved.

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.
