CONGRESSIONAL. the HOUSE ADOPTS THE RFSOLU- TIOS TO ADJOURN ON THE 2STH. River and Harbor Bill Referred to a T Couference Committee—Debate Re- gumed and Continued on the Reagan Commerce Bill. THE MACON WELKLY TELEGRAPH: TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 27,1886.—TWELVE PAGES. an Washington, July 21.—In the House, for a final adji . 1 Reagan, while fie expressed his anxiety for a final adjournment, thought the date hied too early, and should the resolution he agreed to the House would fail to per forma tery important part of its duty. If the date was fired aa the 1th of August the House might be able to act upon tfie inter state commerce bill and the Northern Pacific land forfeiture 1 ill. Weaver concurred in this view, and cited the Oklahoma hill as another measurejwhich should be acted upon before adjournment. Dunn thought that the friends of the river and harbor bill should not vote for a day of adjournment wfiich would not give ample time for the final passage of that m jlayDe said Congress should stay here un til the legislation demanded by the country had been enacted into low. Hepburn could see no excuse for adjourn ment until CnngresB had passed upon such measures as the inter-State commerce, the bankruptcy, polygamy and copy right bills. Willis thought it would be unwise to agree to a resolution which would put it in the power of a small minority to prevent any action upon important measures. The Senate was not in a condition to adjourn. There were three appropriation hills pend ing in that body, and the surplus resolution remained uuauied upon. In advocating the resolution, which he said was nothing more than information to the Senate that tho House was ready to adjourn, Morrison referred to the surplus resolution, and remarked that he did not think it would be ever heard of in the Senate. As to measures which it was said should he passed, he directed at tention to the fact that if members would only cease talking and go to work they could all be passed previous to adjourn- ment. Reed said the country was satisfied that Congress had had a lull trial and that It could do nothing better than to make an attempt to find an adjournment. The concurrent resolution was agreed to—yeas 151, nays 36. Morrison then called up the resolution setting apart Thursday and Saturday of this tree* for the consideration of the bill for the increase of the navy, which was adopted—yeas 192, nays 47. The House weut into committee of the whole (Hatch in the chair) on the Senate amendment to the river and baibor bill. The pending question being the motion made by Hewitt, striking out the clause for the improvement of New York harbrr, he withdrew the amendment,being assured, he ■aid, that the object he desired to accom plish would be accompliehed through the uiedium of tho conference committee. The committee then rose, and tho Senate ameodment having been non-concurred in, the bill was sent to a conference. Then a struggle arose for priority of con sideration between the inler-State com' merce and the Northern Pacific forfeiture kills, which was resolved—yeas J42, nays 90—In favor of tho former. The Senate hill was read at length, to gether with the amendment reported by the committee on commerce, which i- to •hike out all after tho enacting clause and iunt the House bill. then, amid much confusion, an effort wu made to limit tho time for general de- ksta Finally, Reagan moved that it close st 5 o'clock, an 1 nn amendment was offered ty Townshend, fixing i o’clock as tho time for dosing tho debate. Some disposition to filibuster against Townshend’s amendment having been "town, the amendment was withdrawn and Bogan’s was agreed to—yeas 204, nays 24. Reagan then took the floor and delivered an argument in snpport of the House bill »nd in the portrayal of the necessities whi' b stilted for stringent legislation for the regu lation of inter-State commerce. The discussion was continued by O'Neill of Pennsylvania, Davis of Mississippi, Hep- knra of lows, and Hitt of Illinois. It was •greed that general debate should be ex tended, and a night session was ordered. Turner, of Georgia, gave notice that on Friday next he would move to discharge the committee on elections from the further consideration of tho Rhode Island contested election case of Page vs. Pierce, and ask the House to consider the same. At 5 o'clock the Honse took a recess till 8 o'clock—the evening session to he for g eneral debate on the inter-State commerce H1L A general debate on the inter-State com merce hill continued before an audience of half a dozen members until 11 o'clock, at which hour the House adjourned. Murat Halstead. He also read a letter from DieuunsuMR.v.rnorK.nnrf, to himself in which Kennedy went on to say that Ohio was astonished at the result of the vote, and that the tele graph reported him (Logan) ns desiring to keep tho vote secret. The writer did not wonder much at that, that a man would want to keep his vote secret when it was purchased. It was but part of the eternal fitness of things. He had lead tho letter merely to let the country know this gen. tleman s opinion of the Senators. If Kennedy derived any benefit from it he was entitled to it. He (Logan) had no crit icism, to make upon it, except that he was sorry that a man holding bo high a position should make use of such language against a man nearly as good as himself. It might strike some people as strange that he should read these newspaper paragraphs and letters, but he did it for the Pp r P ose of showing the malignity behind them against certain Republican Senators, and to show the character of the attack that was made by Republicans upon Re publicans for their destruction. The men who would resort to such vile attacks were men who did not desire the success of the party, but rather deBire the de struction of certain men who would not bow to their beck and call. He would not repeat the words that were said to him as to what would be done if he bowed to the demand made of him and violated his conscience. If he had done that he would be a good fel low, But he would rather lose his right arm and never be permitted to let his tongue lisp another word than he dr»wn by a man behind a newspaper or elsewhere to do what he did not believe was right. In conclusion he said that he bad been actuated in this matter, not by impulse, not by being aggrieved, not by attacks, but by a calm and deliberate examination of the testimony and of the law in the case.^ He had done his duty and would Btand by it, ior his action was right and just and proper. I Applause on the floor and in the galleries. ] Teller followed Logan on the same line of argument, and after speaking some time gave way to a motion to adjourn, holding the floor to conclude his remarks to-mor row.

Topeka, July 17.—The trial of Willie Sells, aged sixteen years, for the murder of his father, mother, brother and sister, will begin nt Erie, in this State, on Monday. The tender age of the criminal, the number of tho victims, tho entire lack of provoca tion, the manner of the killing, and all tho circumstances make it almost unprece dented in the annuls of crime. On the morning of March 8 Willie made his ap pearance at the farm house of a neighbor, Mr. Mendall, and in an excited tone said that a strange man had been at his home during the night and he thought had hurt his father, os he was lying on the floor with blood on his face. As this visit of young Sells was at 1 o'clock in tho morning Mr. Mendall questioned him closely. Willie said he awoke and saw a man standing in the door between the room Willie and his brother slept in and the one occupied by the parents and sister. 1 got my clothes," said he "oil the foot of the bed, and was putting them on when tho man turned, looked at me, and then ran out into the yard. I did not try to aronse my brother, but put on my trousers and went into the room where my parents were sleeping to get my boots and overcoat I saw my lather on the floor with blood on his face, but thought his nose was bisecting, as ho was frequently troubled that way. I put on my boots and overcoat and went to see if I could And the stranger. When I passed out of the door he was standing in the yard, but ran. i pursued him for half a mile, when he mounted a horse held by another man, and both made away as fast as they could go.” Upon hearing this story Mr. Mendall ac companied Willie homo. When they ar rived the boy remained outside. Mr. Men- dall entered and procured alight He tound the floor covered with blood. Old Mr. Sells was lying on the floor with the back part of his head crushed and throat cut Near him, on the floor, wrs the body of Mrs. Sells, with her head crushed and throat cut A few feet away, in a bed, lay tho body of Miss Ins Sells, with her skull crushed and thro.it cut from car to ear, and in the ad joining room, in the same bed in which Willie had been sleeping, was the body of Watie Sells, with a large gash in his fore head, one of his eyes chopped out and his throat cut Air. Mendall found a large hatchet cov ered with blood and hail lying on a chair, and about a foot from the body of the father was a butcher knife, which was tlso covered with blood. After a hurried ex amination Mendall returned to the yiurd and told Willie what he had seen. The boy said nothing and manifested no particular feeling. He accompanied Mr. Mendall to Mr. Rice's house, near by, where he went to sleep, or pretended to sleep, until morn- A ^he officers in,the morning mails an examination, but found uo trace of the stranger or horse tracks, although Willie’s tracks were plainly indented in the mud. Returning to the Sells bouse, a wash basin of bloody water was found on the stove in which the perpetrator had waabed his hands. It was discovered that Willie had washed his hands and wrists, but above the wrist blood was found on his arms. There was blood under his finger nails also, and his underclothing was stained with blood. There was a purse containing $200 under Mr. Sells’s pillow and two watches, hanging in plain sight, were undisturbed, so that there was do probability that the crime was committed For the purpose of robbery. Previous to the crime, the bor had borne a good reputa tion, and to this day he stontly denies that he was the perpetrator of the deed, and affirms that, If he committed it, it was in his sleep, or while his reason was dethroned. It is said tnat he was a constant reader of dime novels, and hail several times ex pressed a desire to become a hero. Atlanta. July S3 —A reunion of the 421 C regiment took place at Ponce do Leon springs At 9 o’clock the veterans met at the court They were about .200 strong and presented creditable appearance. The survivors organized themselves into an association by electing Col. L, P. Thomas, of Atlanta, who commanded the regi ment at the close of the war, president, and Judge W. L. Calhoun, of Atlanta, historian. Th© ( follow ing executive committee was organized: It. F. Maddox, W. H. Hulsey, W. L. Calhouii, B. F. Walker, Thomas M. Armstead, J. M. Wilson, II* Y. Snow, F. T. Stein, J. R. Simmons, John D) Dameron. Major Hillyer delivered a short address of welcome, which was responded to by Okpt. W. T. Smith, of Buford. Speeches were alio made by W. L. Cochran, W. H. Hulsey and others. When the business meet ing was over the veterans fell Into line with a brass band in the lead, and marched to the street cars, which they boarded for Ponce de Leon springs. There the remainder of the day was passed in«n- joyment and feasting. Long tables, covered with everything that waa good, were placed befoie the visitors, who were Instructed to make a charge upon them, and never stop until the tables were e’eared. The command was followed out to the letter, and when a correspondent of the Telegraph visited the scene the veterans were having a good time around the tables. The Forty-second regiment consisted of companies A and B of Gwinnett, O of Milton, D of DeKalb, E and F of Newton, G and H of Walton, and I and K of Fulton. Xu the nueruouu iue veterans enjoyed a target practice. The prize was a handsome portrait of General R. J. Henderson, of Covington, who was the first colonel of the Forty-second, and who after wards was honored with the title of general. About twenty veterans contested for the prize and some fine shooting was done. The prize waa awarded to Mr. Clower, of Gwinnett, although veteran Brooks pushed him so close in the score they there were donbts expressed as to which of the two should have gotten the prize. One of the features of the day was the floating of an old battle flag of the regiment, which was the company’s colors during the war. The flag, al though it bore numbers of marks male by bullet boles, floated in the air jauntily, and every inch of )t looked game. A noticeable wearer of one of the blue badges of the regiment was “old Henry," a faithful colored man, who passed through the four years of service as the attendant of Dr. John 8. Wilson, surgeon of the regimentHsnry, besides proving fsithfut and trustworthy to Dr. Wilson in a thousand ways, won the esteem of the entire command by bis willing ness to do any favor for any member of tho regi ment. Aa a reward for his faithfulness be has been placed on the roll of the regiment. Tho' old man seemed to take deep Interest in what was done at the reunion and a merry twinkle came from his right eye whenever be wae grasped by an old friend the eight of his left having disappeared somo years ago.

Dido was a Jersey beauty with a sad look out of tho oyes. felio was of u fawn color vjtl white dainty legs, long hiil and a pedigre an idistinct and an valuable an that of a race horsT*. Ih i butter record was a mathematical problem, for it wart puzzling how so small an animal conld givo so much milk. No wonder Captain Fred w*as proud of her and stroked her head with tender ness. Bat tho amateur was gotting his focus ready. A pesky gnat s * ung her cats to and fro and threw her long tail over her back, but the amateur minded it not. lie aimed his lens and drew forth his plate. There was a sharp click, tho light with its pretty picture bail been thrown on tho sen sitized plate os quickly ns tho lightning flashes, and then *tho photograph was token and Dido was on glass. Tho man-of-all-work about the place car ried Dido back to ber boudoir nud out camo another beauty. Aim was token again, the light flashed upon tho plate and one more Jersey was caught Aud eo it was with tho full herd, reserving for tho lost and best tho picture of Prince Victor, one o! the proudest grandest Jersey bulls in Georgia. Tho amateur could not help feeling hia inability to man age so fine a picture. An aninml whose worth ran up into tbo thousands, whoso pedigree called for the finest blood known for half a century, and whose contour wns beauty itself, seemed too great a subject to be caught up by an amateur; but be over came hu ecruples and the sharp click of the trigger soon told that tho camera was richer by one more picture. By this time the sun was directly over our beids, and the heat was fearful. The tapping of a bell that brought to mind some country church hid away in a grove of oaks, told the hands that were in the field talking whoa and get up there to big sleek mules that dinner was on the table aud that there was an hour to rest. The amateur doted lot camera, gave mo tho legs, aud in a very few minutes we wero under the wonderfully cool shade of Captain Frod'i bock veranda. You have, &t some time or other in yonr lifetime, sat in just each a place to cool off for dinner. You know how delightful it U to lean bock in the big rocker, let tho breezes blow over yon, and while yon are enjoying tho breeze- bath, look out on the little bantam chickens that scratch and peck around in tho yard. It is here and only here that you are truly convinced that life U worth the living. It U here that you forget that the sun bliine* hot; that there are cares and troubles’, and that the world U wicked. You ait there and wish you could cool off forever, right there. But our fair hostess was anxious that we should taste her delicious soup and ber custards, and as carrying the legs nn the bill hod whetted my appetite to razor-like sharpness. I lod the van into the dining-room. A country dinner i* the per fection of dinners to the city man, even if be be accustomed to the fat of the land, bnt what is a country and city dinner com bined? It U incomparable, especially when it has for adjuncts a bottle of excellent claret and a fifty-eight poand melon. And after wo had voted gold medals to Mre. Fred for her superior cooking, G’apt. Fred told us about Lis Bermuda Park. If the wine did not wreck my memory, this is about wb&t he said: Ho has thirty-four acres on the place, and his object in buying it was to benefit hia health, live well and entertain hia friends. If tho products of the place will pay ita expenses, all wall and good; if not, the recovery of his health ia worth more than all the money he will lose. He believes in having the Dcet of everything—it pays In the long run. His herd of Jcrseya are ex- , j pensive, but they are worth ali he gave for .| them or all they eat. He gives this a* an : illustration: In two pen* a.-h .h a lot of I common *:very-d«»y rn/or-backed Georgia •? ; ptg- and* lot of thoroughbred Berkshire c pig-. They receive th»* same attention, are r l f*l with to- food iimi «t th- same i time, aij-1 both live under the shade of the enough, but this is not what Captain Fred ants. He goes over them, strips away the under leaver and branches, pinches off all but a bushel <»r so of pears, sud then when the timeoomert he gathers an average of one bushel of much larger than ordinary pears from each tree, making a total of 1,800. bushels, which will bring at least $1 per bushel. But pears are not all. Ho ban every kind of fruit you can think of, and lots of other things that will either bring money in the market or go toward making up a fin ■ bill of faro for tho Jerseys. But it would tuko a couple of columns or more to tell about all these things, so we rise from the dinner ta ble feeding as if we owned a couplo of worlds. Then I take hold of the legs again and onco more the camera in in position. Tho amateur fires away at the old stately building that crowns the hill. Then I carry the legs again and wo halt in front of Van Barents old-time comfortable porch. Tho littl- i|u—ii of tlii-lioim-hold, a brown-eyed miss ot two or three years, sits npon the porch in her rock-r; Ituff, the big, black, sensible dog crouches beside her, play things lay scattered about, aud the pioturo in complete. The amateur git/.«*H lgngtr than usual through tho lens because tho picture is a sweet one. Then there is a t I., i; and the little lady, dog, playthings and nil aro locked up in the dark box. Tho amateur sweeps his eye over tho hill- for cue mere view,but ever to the right ho sees something that causes him t<> simp up the camera, fling tho legs into my arum and hasten to tho depot. Tho cars. ro coming and it stops only loDg enough for us to get aboard. Then* r. sound like that of a whirttlo winds about through tho tr- oh, and in twenty minutes wo aro again in Macon, camera, logs and all. No man regrets a day in the country, especially when his name in in the pot for a big dinner. It goes a long way toward making him happy. HERE YOU HAVE IT.

Tho snake, according to his report, is porfect, save having been broken in sev eral pieces in removing from it* incre ment. It seems from tho shape of tho head to have been a rattler. Tho scaly ap pearance is nearly, it not quite, perfectly retained. While it ha« been slightly flattened by tho immense weight that has rested on top of it. It won taken from the top of tho largo vein of coal, is thirty feet long,8ix inchcH through at tho biggest point and weighs 200 pounds. The fossil \h cer tainly a very curious one,aud thereby hangs a curious tale. Too climate must have been of a different character when it was entombed from what it is now.

On further qu. h- tioning the acquaintance informed Mr Sadler that the lady stated she remain< .1 a widow until 1870, when she married RufiiH Derning in Charleston, and by hitn she had two children.
