On motion of Mr. Farwell, the bill providing for the investment of certain funds in the Treasury was taken up, and Mr. Farwela proceeded to ad- Gress the Senate on the nancial question.

One of them directs the Secre- tary of the Treasury to issue and sell to national banks at par for United States notes U. 8. 2% per cent bonds, redeemable after 50 years, to be used by the banks as security for their circulatin; notes—noves to be issued to the Tull par value of bonds. it also directs the the Treas ury to invest the surplus funds held in the Treas- ury (including the amount to be recetved for these bonds) “in the ot_any.

It simply reduced the interest on the 4 per cent 10 2' cent, These bonds amounted to over 700, and matured in 1907. And it authorized ‘the Rational banks to receive circulation at par upon them aud upon’ ail other United States bonds The bili did not remedy the evils of the present financial condition, The two amendments which i to offer would, he thought, cure those Upon the conclusion of Mr. Farwell’s remarks, a running debate upon the questions raised by him, Pessieapacea in by Mr. Stewart and Mr. Beck, ‘THE DAKOTA BILL.

A Sunday Morning Aftray That Has . ewulte? Fatally. Morris Reidy, a shoemaker, living at No. 729 34 Street northwest, was struck on the head with a brick yesterday morning by a young man named Thomas Fitzgerald, and so badly injured that it 1s thought he cannot recover. Reidy’s reputation among his neighbors is that of bemg quarrelsome and inclined to arink. Early yesterday morning Reidy was seen on the street intoxicated. After returning from church it is said be drank nearly & pintof whisky. This put him ina fighting humor, “G00D MORNING, DogGrE.” Reldy left his house, and when passing the cor- ner of Massachusetts avenue and 2d street came upon Fitzgerald and others, who were together talking, Some one in the crowd said, “Good morning, “Doggie” is_a nickname be- ‘stowed upon. idy many years ago. Reidy at once blamed Fitzgerald for the insuit offered him, and proceeded to give ulm a tongue-lashing. Then Unings became quiet for atime. Some minutes later Fitggerald was standing talking to several gentlemén at the corner of 3d street and Massa- chusetis aventie, only a few doors from Retdy’s house. The latter saw him and threatened to get @ gun and shoot lm. He went Into the house and Caine out With an old musket. tn his saying? “Pl kill the — of a —.” He leveled the musket at Fitzgerald, but did not pull the trigger. He took Che musket i the house and returned tothe street. In each hand he heid a shoe-kuffe with the bla concealed Under his coat-sleeves, but no one sus- pected that he had any weapon. He walked to- Ward the corner where Fitegerald was standing RAISED BIS ARM “ as if to strike him. Fitzgerald thought that a blow from the old man’s fist would amount to but Uttle, and he simply raised his arm to break the force of he blow. Instead of using his fist Reldy’s ari came down with some force and the blade of the shoe-knife entered Fitzgerald's face Just below the right eye. Discovering that he was stabbed Fitegerala avoided the second blow by running Across the Street. Reldy followed him across tne Street, cutting at hin as he ran, Fitzgerald stum- fence fnclosing tne ‘parking, and ‘teldy*was then nce incl the ani y Almost Uyoa lum and bad in cornered. “Fitager- ald then picked up 4 PIEOE OF BRICK, which he threw at bis assailant. His aim was a good one. The brick struck Reldy on the head and he fell to the concrete, apparently dead. His arms were outstretched, with a knife in elther hand, and he was unconscious, In afew moments & pool of blood had formed about him, and the peo ple that soon gathered were afraid to'move the 1n- jured man, Some person blew a policeman’s whis- Ue, but it was nearly fifteen minutes before his distress cail Was answered. Meanwhile Fitzgerald, ‘who had an ugly wound uuder his eye, wi w the station and gave himself up, The’ police pa- ol wagon, was sent to the scene of the fight abd Hospital When" exaintaed oy. the physicians t tal Dex: y asiouna hat his skull Bed been fractured, and ‘chances for were very sm: je was Basar wet say Uae 0 oa seed about twenty-eight years old and bears a Teputation.
