THAT MATRIMONIAL Gosstr.—Last spring, at one of President Garfleld’s receptions, the wife of y Justice of the Supreme Court jested with Gen. Arthur about the rumor that he was to marry Mrs. Marshall O. Roberts. He answered good humorediy but emphatically denied the pane saying: “I have no more idea of marrying Mrs. Roberts than of marrying you.” The report was first started as a good joke during the last presidential campaign by some of the would-be wits of the New York Union League Club, who at the same time started the rumor that Mrs. A. T. Stewart was to marry a young Episcopal minister. ‘THE PRESIDENT AND CABINET GOING TO YORK- TOWN Monpay.—According to the present program President Arthur and the members of the Cabinet will leave here early next Monday morning. for Yorktown on the Tallapoosa. The French guésts, Assistant Secretary Hitt and others from the State department, will leave on the same morning aboard the Excelsior, which will stop at Mount Vernon. Col. Corbin, master of ceremonies, will also leave about the same hour on board the reyenue cutter Ewing for Yorktown. ‘TROUBLE AS TO THE HARBOR MASTER aT YORK- TOWN.—There is some trouble hinging around the position and powers of the harbor master at York- town. Rear Admiral Wyman, commanding the North Atlantic squadron, detailed, some time ago, Commander White, of the as harbor master during the Yorktown festivities. Commander White has all the power and jurisdiction which can be conveyed upon him by authority of the United States. It appears, however, that aecond- ing to the laws of Virginia the harbér master a to be appointed by the state district judge in whose circuit the port of Yorktown is located. In order to have full authority conferred upon Com- mander White, the district judge has been chased all over the state within ‘the past few days in order to secure the a] ointment ‘by him of ‘Com- mander Whit: civil harbor master, thus giving ot the port of Yorktown. ‘They have not succeeded in catching the judge Yet, but will accomplish the feat, it is thought, before the opening of the centennial. To adjust finally the matter of harbor master {s the reason why Adii- Tal Porter will go to Yorktown before the day set apart for the opening ceremonies, THE FOLLOWING CLERKS to Senate committees were sworn in this afternoon: E. 0. Foss, educa- tion and labor; Frank H. Howe; several branches of the civil service; George B. Clarke, Jr., transportation routes ‘to seaboard Wits H. Johnson, public bultdings and grounds; Walter Allen, Indian affairs; George B. Edwards, civil service and retrenchment. THE NAVAL RENDEZVOUS AT YORKTOWN.—The navy department is advised that the Flagship Ten- nessee, the Vandalia and the Yantic arrived off Yorktown on the afternoon of the 10th. ‘The Tren- ton arrived at Fortress Monroe from’ Europe via Funchal to-day.

Representative Hiscock, a leading candidate for the House speakership, §s at the Riggs. He predicts a republican success in New York next month. Representative Kiefer, of Ohio, also a candidate for the speakership, 1s at the Ebbitt. The result in Ohio is no surprise to him. He thinks Gov. Foster's majority will reach over 15,000. Gen. John Beatty, the leader of the Ohio stal- warts, is at the ’National. He opposed Gay. Foster’s election because of his action in the breaking up of the Packard government in Louts- tana. The gossip now is that the President will not make any Cabinet changes until after the York- town celebration is over. Ex-Senator Spencer is in the city. It 1s claimed that he will have a good billet in this city under the new regime. Ex-Delegate Elkins, a son-in-law of Senator Da- vis, of Va., and intimate with Secretary Blaine, 4s in the city watching the course of events. The gossip say that Gen. Grant has recommended ex-Governor Routt, of Colorado, to be Postmaster General. The governor was chairman of the Colo- rado delegation at the Chicago convention. The delegates voted for Grant all the way through. Secretary Kirkwood will not accept the gover- moe OS any Territory, but will be otherwise royided for.

CROWDED GALLERIES—THE STANDING COMMITTEE: QUESTION AGAIN DISCUSSED. The Senate galleries were pretty well filled to lay, in anticipation of some excitement over an. other election for President re tem. There wer comparatively few Senators present when th President’s gavel called the body to order. During the delivery of the prayer Senator Davis, of IL- nols, entered at the main door on the south side o: the chamber, He took his stand just back of th« outer row of desks, and caknly surveyed the Sen- ite as if in search of a signof a coming struggl: involving higher honor for himself. Secretary Kirkwood and Attorney General MacVeagh mad: their appearance upon the floor early, and wer: very cordially greeted by the Senators. The Senators were all in their seats before the reading of the journal was concluded. Mr. Lamar offered a resolution requesting th: President to advise the Senate whether any action has been taken by the government since the last session of the Senate toward. protecting the right and interests of the United States in the project o. an interoceanic canal at Panama. Laid on tht table for future action. Mr. Edmunds called up his resolution continuin: the standing committees of the Senate as ther were constituted at the last session. Mr. Garland offered amendment, Provdin that only the following committees shall Foreign relations, finance, commerce, military affairs, judictary, post o! and roads, public lands, pensions, and Indian affairs. In submitting this amendment Mr. Garland intimated that the democrats have no purpose of making a contest for the committees. He contended that the commit- tees named were the only which would have any work to do during the special session. Mr, Edmunds opposed the amendment. There were committees which were not provided for which, in his opinion, wouldibe necessary in order t» perform the work of the session. He instanced the committee on privil and elections as one Which should be organized. There was on the table now a petition presented by the Senator from New Jersey (Mr. McPherson), said to seriously affect the right of a Senator from'New York to a seat in this body. That ought to be inquired into. Then ther: was the committee on railroads which might have work todo. It was known ftom public report that there had been an important officer suspended for some Supposed failure to perform his duty, and by Jaw it was required that such a suspension should be reported to the Senate. The comuittee on con- Ungent expenses was also a necessary committer: Mr. Garland stated that he would modify hi: amendment s0 as to continue the committees on Privileges and elections and contingent expenses. fe thought that it would then include all the {pmaittees which It was nesessary to organize is time. Mr. Garland’s amendment was lepatae rebar 35, nays 37—Davis, of Illinois, and Mahone’ voting with the republicans, MR. EDMUNDS’ RESOLUTION ADOPTED. Mr. Edmunds’ resolution was then adopted— Yeas, 37; nays, 8. The standing committees are therefore continued as constituted at the last session, and the Presi- dent pro tem. is authorized to fill any vacancies which may exist, Resolution to Elect Mr. Davis Presi- dent Pro Tem. As soon as the result was announced Mr. Logan Tose and offered a resolution for the election ot David Davis, a Senator from, Ulinois, as President pro tem. ot the Senate, Mr. Pendicton asked that the resolution Ile over one day under the rules, and tt was so ordered. ‘Then Senate then (at '12:49) went into executive Session. MR. DAVIS ELECTED PRESIDENT PRO TEM. When the doors were reopened at 1 o'clock the chair was occupied by Mr. Harris, of Tennessee, who called the Senate to order. Mr. Pendleton then rose and sald: When the Senator from Illinois (Mr. Logun) offered his reso- lution for the election of a President: pro tem., in asmuch as It was offered without previous no Tobjected to its immediate consideration. 8: then, upon reflection and consu!tatton with Sen tors on this side of the chamber, I have concluded to withdraw my objection to its immediate consid- eration, ‘The presiding officer (Mr, Harris) stated that there being no further objection, the resolution was before the Senate, Senator Jones, of Florida, maintained that the Senate having ‘filled the ¢hatr, had no power to now choose another presiding’ officer. He said that the s arilamemt 18 chosen for a ‘bat Mr Bayard could not be > read from a specch of the late Williim H. Seward, who held that when the chair was filled another ‘presiding officer could not be chosen until the chair became vacant. The Yeas and nays were called. “When Mr. Bay- ard’s name was called he said he would withhold his vote; that he had never obtained office by his own vote and he would never retain it by that vote. When Mr. Davis’ name was called he mained silent. ‘The vote was 36 yeas to 34 nays. Messrs, Bayard and Anthorty were appointed to escort Mr. Davis to the chair. He was escorted to his position with a smiligg countenance, MR. DAVIS’ REMARKS. On taking the chair, Mr. Davis (I11.) made a brief speech, in which he sald that the high honor con- ferred upom him came without any expectation on his part. If the compliment had carried any party obligation with it he should have felt constrained to decline it, Mr. Edmunds moved that the thanks of the Sen- ate be expressed to Mr. Bayard for the linpartiallty he had displayed in the administration of his oMice. ‘This created a ripple of laughter, and it was plain that It was regarded as a piece of irony. Mr, Ed- Ww the impression created, and undertook to correct it by e entirely sincere in his motion ard had held'the position ata the when partiality or partisanship might ave worked harm, ‘The resolution was unani- pted. Kellogg's resolution calling for the papers in the case of Vincenzo Rebello was adopted, and a resolution for the striking of a gold medal in honor of James A. Garfield, late President of the Uni referred to t at aker of term, and he insisted legally ousted. Mr. Davis’ Position. Mr. Davis was in his seat and heard the resolu- tion read declaring him president pro tem of that body. He made no sign of objection, and his silence was universally construed to mean accept- ance. It is now said that the republicans had as- surance before nominating him that he would ac- cept. In the cancus yesterday it was si that Mr. Davis might reruse, dn reply, a Senator sald he felt authorized to give the asstrance that he would accept, and he was immediately nomi- nated. It 1s naturally supposed now that Mr. Davis will, on all quéstions ot importance, vote with the republicans. In a written speech deliv- ered by him at the last session of the Senate, he Stated that having been elected by democratic votes to the Senate, he felt that it was incumbent upon him to vote to carry out democratic policy as far as he could consistently. This being his theory, he will, of course, after belng elevated to the Vice Presidency by republican votes, feel in duty bound to vote to sus republican policy, ‘The Star-Ronte Cases.

PHILADELPHIA, October 13.—The fire at Lander- Berger mill last night, which was 80 disastrous to life and property, originated in the finishing room on the second floor, and spread upwards through the bullding with samazing rapidity. “About forty- five of the hands, twelve of whom were girls, were t work on this floor, but the majority were en- gaged in the spinning and weaving departments On the upper floors. “The wooden stairways at either end of the building were goon ablaze.” ‘The bridge connecting the building with another mill Was shut Off trom approach by fire-proof doo! and, in the absence of any fire-escape, a panic in? stantly ensued among the men and women con- fined within the building. ‘They rushed to the windows, crying frantically to the crowd below to Save them. MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN JUMPING FROM THE UP- PER STORIES, It was proposed by the crowd to form squares in the street and catch the men and girls as they leaped out, but before anything could be done a young woman leaped from the fifth story. It Seemed that every bone in her body was broken, for she never breathed again. After this the Im: Prisoned people seemed to tyecome frenzied, and although the crowd outside, sousht to encourage them by shouting that help would speedily there, they began jumping from. the windows like sheep. Aman, apparently bereft of reason, flung himself headlong to the street, and while his body Was still in the alr others followed—now a man, then a woman or a half-grown girl, until in a tew minutes eleven human beings, one ‘and all uncon- scious with fractured siulls’and broken limbs, were being carried by tender hands to the nelgh- boring saloon, on the floor of which body after body was lad’ in a row until vehicles were pro- cured to convey them to the hospital. By this time the relatives of the victims began to gather outside the building and the cries of mothers out- side to their children stilt In the burning rooms and their Lamentations over those who had jumped and beea literally dashed to pleces, were heart- rending to hear. WOMEN BURNED TO DEATH. When the firemen were able to enter the Dutld- ing they found on the third floor the bodies of two females burned almost to a crisp, and a man badly scorched and dead, but before they could further the fourth floor, with its heavy machinery, came crashing through, and they barely escaped with their lives. ‘The firemen to desist in their labors, because gone through to the ground, and the machinery, Charred wood and what remained of ine unfortu: hate operatives (ten or a dozen), were mingled to- gether in an unrecognizable ‘mass, which was Seething and sending out columns of’ steam as the cold water was poured upon it.

Anticipating that the trial will be regue {ar and that it will wind up by the execution of Guiteau, pieces of the rope are already spoken for, and to meet the demand, t is likely that @ rope some miles in length would be required.
