Quvenec, Dec. 10.—It is now pretty certain that there is no ground for the statement made by American papers a few days ago to the ef- fect that Edward Silcott, the defaulting cashier of the sergeant-at-arms’ office at Washington, had come to Quebec with his booty and accom- panied by Herminie Thiebault, The fugitives may be inthe province of Quebec er some other part of Cunada, but they are not in this city, American papers have stated so positively that Herminie Thiebault isa native of Quebec that people about town are asking who she is, The detectives are not at all surgof her identity. Itis not now consid- ered pPbable that Siicott and Miss Thibault will come to Quebec, their expressed intention of doing so probab i » forthe pur- of their track. THE FURIES. Women Convicts Chop the Warden to Death with Hatchets. VENGEANCE Lraveswontn, Kay., Dec. 10.—A revolt oc- curred yesterday morning in the women’s ward of the Kansas penitentiary, One man was mortally wounded and the matron and her as- sistants resigned after peace had beeu restored. On last Sunday afternoon, while the women were being escorted from the chapel to their cells, one of them became very violent and in her e attempted to assault one of the guar: This was Mattie Brown, who was sent up from Topeka for three years for grand lar- ceny. Alter her escapade Sunday she was placed in a dark cell. and her companions m.de a demand on Mrs. Hanks, the matron, that she be released. This was refused and the women drove the matron from the ward. They then secured two hatchets and began an assault on the cell door behind which the Erown woman was incarcerated, Capt. Hanks, husband of the matron, heard the noixe and rushed into the room where the infuriated women were striving torelease their compan- ion. Nosooner bad he opened the door than they turned upon him and the two women with the hatchets struck him four times on the head. Hanks isa large, powerful man, and made a desperate fight, but while he was warding off the blows other women seized his legs and threw him to the floor. Then one of the women, not satisfied with the wounds already inflicted, struck him with a hatchet on the right side of the head, severing the ear and splitting the skull, The wound is pronounced fatal and, altnough Hanks is still breathing, he bas been unconscious since the fight, One of the gfards on the wall, attracted by the screams of Mrs. Hanks, discharged his gun and then a number of guards came rushing upon the scene. They found Capt. Hanks on | the floor uncouscious and the women still be- | laboring him. Mrs. Hanks and her assistants | resigned, refusing to remain with such mur- derous women. The ringleaders were placed in solitary confinement. ———— OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.

Some of them were governors of states and some of them merely represented a few of the other governors who could not be present, They had been brought together by adesire to have Congress do something material in the way of assisting them to erect, in the city of Phila- delphia, a grand memorial structure which shall suitably commemorate the greatness which was made apparent in the first few years of this nation’s history. STATES REPRESENTED. At 11:30 Gov. Green of New Jersey took the Great leather-upholstered chair which had been set apart for him, rapped on the green- covered table and said: “The meeting will come to order.” Secretary A. P. Colesberry called the roll and when that was con- cluded the following-named persons were shown to be present, representing states which precede their names: Dela- ‘e, Gov. Biggs; Pennsylvania, Gov, Beaver; New Jersey, Gov, Green; Connecticut, Gov. w Hampshire, Gov, Godell; Rhode Elisha Dyer, jr.; New York, Gen. John G. Farnsworth; North Carolina, Gen. G. W. Sanderlin; Maine, Representative C, A. Bou- telle; Ark., ex-Attorney General A. H. Garland; Wisconsin, Representative L. B, Caswell; Min- nesota, Gov. Williams; Kansas, Representative B. W. Perkins; New Mexico, Hon. J. B. Bow- man; Wyoming. Delegate J, M. Carey; Mis- souri, Hon, J. G. Prather; Arizona, Gov. Wolf- ley; Kentucky, Representative Jobn G. Carlisle; Iowa, Hon. G. M. Dodge. ‘There was also present an auxiliary commit- tee of Philadelphions appointed at the last meeting of governors, whose duty it is to aid the governors in the matter they have in hand. The committee consists of Jno. W. Woodside, A. P. Colesberry, A, P. Bowles, Jno, Lucas, Col, Jesse E, Peyton, N. J. GOV. GREEN'S OPENING REMARKS, Gov. Green said that the work before the meeting was the memorializing of Congress to the end that a proper structure be erected in the city of Philadelphia to commemorate the birth of American independence and the framing of the federal Constitution. He then proceeded to cite the history of the movement and showed how the first idea of a memorial by the thirteen original states had been enlarged and amplified until now all the states and territories were represented, and finally Congress was to be asked to make an ap- propriation for the object they ali had at heart. A BILL TO BE INTRODUCED IN CONGRESS. The committee appointed at the July meet- ing reported the draft of a bill which will be introduced in Congress immediately, Gov. Beaver suggested an amendment in the language of the bill, and Representative Boutelle referred to expressions which he thought, from a congressional standpoint, were somewhat faulty. A gencral discussion ensued, in the course of which ex-Attorney Gen- eral Garland said that if the idea was to present a bill which would be satisfactory to the committees of both houses and both houses themselves it was a mistaken one; it could not be done. It was enough to present a grouud work on which the legislative bill should stand, but never in the history of the country had Congress passed a bili just as it was drafted by outsiders, AS TO THE cost, Somebody asked at this point “How much will the proposed memorial cost?” and there was a visible disinclination on the part of the Phil- adelphia committee to say anything about that important feature of the subject, Mr. Woodside deprecated any attempt at fix- ing asum which might or might not be suffi- cient for the completion of the memorial. Under a little pressure Mr. Woodside at last said something abouta million anda half of doliars—the sum which Philadelphia turned into the national treasury as the net result of the centennial! of 1576. “If we mention any sum in the bill.” said Mr. Woodside, “I think it ought to be #2.000,000, and then let Congress give us what it pleases.” Ex-Attorney Garland wanted toknow whether $2,000,000 would be enough and Mr. Woodside quoted Mr. Peyton as xaying that the country ought to spend $5,000,000 on it, A committee of five was then appointed to discuss the question of expense, and tt was cm. powered to put any sum in the bill which they thought necessary. The committee consists of Gov. Green, Gen. Dyer, Gov. Beaver, ex-At- torney General Garland and Gov. Bulkley. "Mr. Garland mude an earnest speech advocat- ing organization and rapid work for the reason that if Congress appropriated a large sum ot money for the world’s fair it would probabl: be economical for some time thereafter. It was therefore necessary that the memorial matter be pressed to a conclusion, 4 COMMITTEE WAS THEN APPOINTED to urge the matter upon the attention of Con- gress and the following were named: Gov. Lidi, Gov. Beaver, Gov. Leg Gov. Biggs, ex- Attorney General Garland. Gen, Farnsworth and Col, Peyton, An auxiliary committee of Philadelphians was also appointed, It is made up of Messrs. John W. Woodside, A. P. Coles- berry, John Lawson, E. C. Knight, F. M. Brook, James Pollock, Jolin Lucas, . Biggs handed the secretary a page of typoscript aud moved that it be substituted for the preamble of the bill. It went over a con- siderable portion of the nation’s historical ground, and when its reading was concluded Gov. Beaver said: ‘The other preamble is very much better; we don’t want to give Congress an elementary lesson in history.” Others present ayreed with the Pennsylvanian, for they voted the substitute down, Mr. Woodside said that it had been arranged some time ago to have President Harrison re- ve the governors at the White House. The President, he said, was now absent trom the city, but he would return tomorrow, and a *> | mocting might be arravged for tomorrow even- ing. Mr. Woodside referred tothe death of Mrs, Scott Lord as areasun why the occasion would be a very quiet one, Gov, Beaver said thatin view of the domestic bereavement which had just takou place the President ought not to be disturbed by any kind of a reception, and the majority of those present were of like mind, LATE GOVERNORS, Representative B.

Only Eight Places for 1,200 District Applicants, One of the favorite resorts of members of Congress just now is the census office. They are not especially interested in statistics or in suggesting new lines of investigation to Super- intendent Porter, but asa rule they want some one of their constituents appointed to @ clerk- ship in the office. Mr. Porter in talking today about the crowd of visitors, said that he was glad to see people providing he had nothing else to do and would attend to any business for them. But, he says, it is absolutely useless to talk ap- pointments to him now. for he has none to make. Of course, the force was being in- creased gradually, but the bulk of the work would have to be done after the returns of the enumerators are received, about the Ist of July next, and AT THAT TIME APPOINTMENTS WILL BE MADE. He finds that applications are coming in from states where the quotus are already full. For example, he says that there are 1,200 applica- tions on file from persons living in the District and that the quota from the District when the force of the oilice reaches the maximum point will be only eight. The same thing is true, although not to the same extent, of Maryland. Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York and other states. Mr. Porter has found it necessary, on account of the demands made upon his time, to mit his reception hours from 10 to 12 each day. He finds that other- wise he will be obliged to neglect some por- tion of the business of the office, which in its preliminary stages is of vast importance and effects the entire work of taking the census, HOW THE WORK PROGRESSES. The close of the present calendar year will form the final period in a certain class of sta- tistics, and the work of tabulating and classify- ing the results can be begun with the opening of the new year, In the more important branches, however, such as manufactures, sta- tistics must be collected up to the close of the fiscal year ending June 30, 189; at that time the population returns will’ be coming in and the clerical force of the office will be working at high pressure in order to have the latter returns _ tabulated to be reported at the earliest possible date to Congress. Superintendent Porter desires to complete, as far as practicable. ail work relat- ing to the statistics of the past decade and all preliminary work of every hind, so that the decks may be cleared for the prompt handling of the population returns, MONTGOMERY COUNTY NEWS.

In the divorce case of John W. Burrell against Thenia Burrell, the latter, by Campbell Car- rington, has filed her answer. She denies all the paragraphs in the petition 60 far as they reflect upon her good name and character for chastity and proper conduct and says they are absolutely false.

Nationat.—The Jefferson-Florence company produced ‘The Rivals” before a cep and en- thusiastic audience at the National last night. Few companies traveling contain such an ag- Rregationof talent as does this one and no play is better suited to bring out its various elements than “The Rivals.” Mr. Jefferson's Bob Acres is dear to every play goer, while the broad humor of Sir Lucius O' Trigger is most capably handled by Mr. Florence. Mra, Drew is inimitable as Mrs. Malaprop, and Miss Viola Allen is at her best as Lydia Languish, and Miss Ailen at her best is one of the most charming actresses on the stage today. ALbavon's.—Miss Maggie Mitchell is always ood, and last night at Albaugh’s she was able. yy her clever and fascinating acting, to keep the andience in a thoroughly good temper. “Ray” is a play which allows full scope for Miss Mitchell’s varied abilities, She is able to kick up her beels in true soubrette style and then also be dignified or pathetic. The com- pany is uniformly good, and throughout the entire action moves with a smoothness credit- able to both authoy and interpreter. Hares’ Bisou Taeater.—Wr. Wm. Gillette's comedy, “A Legal Wreck,” was presented at this house last night before an audience which filled the entire house. The company is one of unusual excellence, and the work of Mr. Rich- ard F, Baker as Captain Smith, retired skipper, and Mr. Alfred Bev: , a8 his superaunuated second mate, was excellent, while Miss Frances Stevens. as Olive Gray, gave apleasing delinea- tion of the part. The play will continue throughout the week. Kenvan’s.—Harry Williams’ Own Specialty company held the boards at this house last night and treated its patrons to a variety show of rare excellence, There is not a bad feature init. The artistic club swinging of Mr, Ben Mowatt, the dancing of Miss Pearl Ardine and the .great trapeze act by those well-known comedians Sherman and Morrisey elicited en- thusiastic applause. The performance closed with feats of strength by Mons. Testo and Fanny Onri. —_-—_—_. Playing “Five Up” on Sunday. Policemen Kimmel, Gibson, Sullivan and Walsh went to the house of Jefferson Johuson, colored, on McCullough street, about 1 o'clock Sunday morning and raided a party playing “five up.” The proprietor, with four other men, was sitting at the table until the officers appeared; then there was a lively scramble, and one ‘of the men was found in the pro- prietor’s bed with his boots on. Another one of the men was found under the bed. The officers found four packs of cards, a revolver, a bottle of gin and a bottle of whisky on the table.
