The Election Contest Cane* to he Finally Disponed Of—The Work In Both Branches of Congress—Wash ington News and Gossip. Washington. April 5. —The elections committee of the house today took up the contest of Thomas E. Watson for the seat in congress now occupied by J. C. Black. John T. West and B. M. Gross, of Thomson, the attorneys for Mr. Wat son, arrived in the city yesterday. Major Black is not certain whether or not any of his attorneys will be here, but if not he will state his own case before the committee. Nothing sensational is expected to develop, as the evidence on both sides has been on hand for some time. The postmaster-general has decapi tated the two Georgia republican post masters of the presidential class. Geo. S. Haines was appointed postmaster at Savannah, and J. W. F. I.owrey at Dawson. The term of the republican postmaster in Savannah would not have expired for several months. Charges were filed against him some time ago, and there was considerable delay, ow ng to the investigation which was ordered and tfle charges and coun ter-charges which came pouring in from Savannah. Senator Patrick Walsh is expected at the capital tonight. As soon as he ar rives he will he promptly sworn in. Among the petitions and memorials presente.l in the senate was one by Sen ator Gordou, being a protest of Baptist churches at Atlanta, Ga., against the constitutional amendment proposed by Morse, of Massachusetts, recognizing the deity in the preamble to the con stitution.

It was to the ef fect that English had not been elected a representative from the Third district of California. The yeas and nays were called, resulting: Yeas, 12; nays, 167; democrats and populists only voting. *‘Thc no**® have it: auostitute is not agreed to,’’ said the speaker. • The majority resolution, seating Eng lish, was adopted, uud English was •worn in.- After the call of committees for re ports, Bland called up his seigniorage bill. Bland being recognized, moved that the bill be passed, the objections of the president to the contrary notwith standing. He stated that upon this motion he would demand the previous question at 3 o’clock Saturday after noon. [Cries of “Vote! Vote!”] In the confusion which prevailed, while the matter of an agreement upon closing debate was being discussed, no attempt was made to speak on the bill or mess age until after the speaker had put the question of the passage of the bill and the roll call had begun. The vote upon Bland’s motion was: Yeas, 144; nays, 115. Not the necessary two-thirds in the affirmative. DRAUGHAN, THE FAMOUS. The Man Who Knew Himself Not Is Criti cally 111. Asheville, N.

The vote was taken on Mr. Pasco’s motion to recommit the nomination to the committee, but Mr. Call and his followers, who are in the majority, re fused to permit this to be done. Mr. Pasco insisted that the man be given another hearing before the committee, and Mr. Call asserted that it was suffi cient to know that the nominee was his bitterest enemy and that the nomina tion had been made as a personal af front to him. This led to some warm words between the two Florida sena tors, but nothing approaching the sen sational. ALL DUE TO JEALOUSY. Two Attempts at Suicide and an At tempted Murder.

The Tragic Part of a Comedy—Fatal Con clusion ot a Fashionable Club Ball In New York City—lntense Excitement Prevails. New York, April s.— From revelry to riot was but a step, and a short one at that, at the masque ball of the Carmen cita club iu Tammany hall about 3 o’clock yesterday morning. There were upon the floor and in the boxes not far from 1,500 persons, and though the bar was closed there was no lack of intoxicants, so that when the dis turbance b.gan many persons were crazed with drink. Roundsman Shay preeipitated the trouble by undertaking to stop the per formance that was going on in a box occupied by Eddie Hirtch, the keeper of a Coney Island dance hall, and a party of his friends. The officer was told to mind his own business where upon he tried to pull Hirseh from the box. Instantly a rush ivas made for the of ficer. Other policemen in the hall went to Shay's assistance. Bottles and chairs were made use of by the crowd. Clubs were swung lustily and many heads felt the force of the lo custs. In the midst of the affray the lights were extinguished, but the struggle did not even then abate. When the lights were again turned on one man was lying deal upon the steps leading to the street. His name was Terrence Gallagher, aged 33 years, a race track tout, whose residence was 122 East 125th street. Mark Buckner, a Baxter street puller-in, had his head cracked, and may die. George Bern stein, a barkeeper, was badly cut in the hand. The fight lasted until a call sent to the nearest police station had brought to the hall a detail of officers strong enough to overawe the frenzied crowd. It is alleged that Roundsman Shay, whose effort to stop a skirt dance iD Eddie Hirsch's box brought on the row. had been drinking, and was, in fact, drunk. THE PACKWOOD TRIAL.

Breckinridge and Mrs. Wing Registered Falsely. THE COLONEL LEAVES THE STAND. Judge Wilson Asks the Defendant All .Manner of Questions, and firings Interesting Testimony Out in Court—The Particulars. Washington, April s.— Judge Wilson began the examination of Colonel Breckinridge with reference to the vil lage of Goldsborougii, Ivy., and asked him if he delivered a speech there in 1885. The defendant thought not; then Judge Wilson asked if he remembered saying to the servant woman at Mrs. Thomas', on the day after he had taken lunch there with .Miss Pollard, “Mary, that was very nice lunch, and when Madeline and I go to housekeeping I want you to come with us.’’ “Oh, that's not true; that's a mere fancy sketch,” said Breckinridge, with a laugh. “There’s not a word of truth in it.” Wilson was particularly desirous of knowing whether Breckinridge had ever made any expressions of love and offection to the plaintiff, and the de fendant said that he had never used such expressions to Miss Pollard. “I did, however,” he said, “use ex pression of kindliness”, and I was par ticularly careful to he good and kind to her when she was in delicate health. I tried to make her take up some occu pation and to keep her mind busy. In answer to Judge Wilson the de fendant said that he had told the plain tiff many times that marriage between them was impossible. “I told her,” he said, “that she could not expect me to marry her after her illicit relations with Rhodes, and that after she had bled Rhodes for three years, and then thrown him away like a sucked orange I could not contem plate a marriage with her or look upon her as a wife whom I could trust, or whom 1 could take into my family.” After questioning the witness about his trip to New York in April, 1893, when he was married, and his meeting with the plaintiff at the Hoffman house, Judge Wilson handed Colonel Breckinride a paper, ad asked him if that was a fac simile of marriage certificate. Colonel Breckinridge said that it looked like the original, but he saw it was not. “When you put down on this certifi cate that you had been married once, was that true?” he was asked. “L started to write in answer to the question as to how many times I had been married, and I asked Dr. Paxton if it were necessary to state that this was my third marriage, and he said it was not necessary, so I thoughtlessly put it in once instead of twice.” He filled in the certificate because Dr. Paxton was suffering from nervous headache, he said. He told Paxton to keep it a secret. In answer to the question he said he and his wife on the night of their marriage went to the hotel Lagreen, Eighteenth street and Broadway, and registered under the name of William J. Campbell and wife. After Judge Wilson had made Colonel Breckinridge say that Miss Pollard went in the best society in Washing ton; that she lived at most respectable houses, and that her social standing was of the best, he asked if there was th n any social impediment to the mar riage of plaintiff and himself, and Colonel Breckinridge admitted that there was nothing known to the world that could act as an impediment. Colonel Breckinridge ended his testi mony after having been on the stand almost continuously since Thursday. This afternoon the defense may submit some additional testimony, but it is more likely that the rebuttal of the plaintiff s evidence will begin, and there is every indication that all the evidence will be before the jury when the court adjourns over on Friday until Monday. The day was not sensational. NOT GOOD IN MACON. A Two-Dollar North Carolina Bill Gets a Young Man Into Trouble. Macon, Ga., April s.—Arthur Allen, a plumber, who has for the past two years been working for several plumb ers in the city, was arrested yesterday by Officer Sheridan on a complaint made by a negro barkeeper on Cotton avenue, who charged him with endeav oring to pass worthless money. When arrested Allen had in his pos session a two-dollar bill on the Bank of Mecklenburg, X. C., which is the bill the barkeeper said he tried to pass on him.

Mr. Wachtel denied that the bill had ever been in his store. Allen was \aken to the store, but could not identify the clerk from whom he received the bill, although he had left his old hat at the store when he bought the new one. The officers say that Allen attempted to pass the bill on several people and was told that it was worthless before he attempted to pass it on the bar keeper. Pool Rooms Squelched.

THE MAYOR TALKS AGAIN. Speaks Plainly of Governor Tillman and Ills Recent Address. Darlington, S. C., April s.—Mayor Dargan has made another statement for publication, this one in rejoindePto Governor Tillman's speech. He says, among other things: “There are one or two inaccurate statements of his which I do not like to pass over without correcting. He says, speaking of the constables, that they had been sent there because the mayor had allowed them to be insulted and cursed to their faces. If the governor was so informed that I, as mayor, al lowed that, his informant is a liar. This is the first information I have ever received of such a fact. He says again two boys, mere stripplings, got into a fight, and some fifty men, armed to the teeth, went to the depot and picked a quarrel with the constables, and men on both sides were killed. I don’t know who informed him of this fact, but whoever did so just lied, and knew he lied when he gave such infor mation. Again he says the fault can not be clearly placed and possibly never will be known. As to that the gov ernor is a very badly informed man if he lays that flattering unction to his soul, and I venture the prediction that he will find the fault clearly placed, and that it will be found that the con stables simply did everything else but their duty.” TROOPS LEAVE DARLINGTON.
