The negro replied that he had decided to kill the whole family, as they talked too much and left him no time to think, i. The judge betrayed no and told him hie agreed wie toss wad thee be would stoned to it. By the use of consummate tact the judge succeeded in mollifying the madman until he at last laid down his gun and at the Judge's suggestion ieft the room.

The object of the visit was purely social and aftera pleasant chat the committee with- drew, Several of the members hed never met Mr, Wanamaker and this opportunity was taken to bring them together. Mr. Wanamaker made a little speech to the assembled legislators and expressed the hope that they would not hesi- tate to call on the department for any informa- tion that might be needed. He added that there was nothing in connection with the busi- ness of the department that was private and the fullest information could be obtained at any time, Sorry He Didn’t Get a Bigger Piece.

The one topic of conversation in the corri- dors and on the floor of the House before the session opened today was the death of Repre- sentative Kelley, Little knots of Representa- tives gathered and discussed the amiable char- acter, long service and strict integrity of de- ceased, Members on both sides of the House united in praising the eminent Pennsylvanian and deploring his death. When the House was called to order at 12 o'clock Judge Kelley's old seat was seen to be appropriately draped in black, and on the top rested a basket of flowers. reminding members that the Father of the House” hed departed from their midst. THE PRAYER OF THE CHAPLATN. In his opening praver the chaplain said: Thy servent, so long ill and suffering, is at rest. The event that has been approaching has come. The loss we feared has been realized. He, 80 long an honored and useful member of this body, going in and out among his associates here, has gone away forever. The places, the scenes, the duties that here knew him so long and well will know him no more forever. And what can we say but the Lord gave and we thank Thee for the gift and the memory of it; the Lord has taken away; we would de- voutly recognize Thy hand and be enabled even add, ‘Blessed be the name of the Lord.” MR, O'NEILL'S FEELING TRIBUTE TO HIS COL- LEAGUE. Immediately after the reading of the Journal Mr. O'Neill (Pa.) arose and ina voice which was at tim aken with emotion said: Mr. Speaker: I rise to announce to the mem- bers of the House the death of my dear col- league, the Hon, William D, Kelley, which oc- curred at 6:20 lust evening at ‘the Riggs house, in the city of Washington. Ineed not say, Mr. Speaker, that this is the saddest duty that has ever devolved upon me since my connection with the House, The death of Judge Kelley, who has been elected fifteen times as a member of one of the Philadelphia districts (the first election occurring in October, 1860, and the Inst—the fifteenth—occurring in, November, 1888, takes from me the longest acquaintance of my public life; an intimate friendly acquaintance never marred for one moment of time. I cannot today express my feelings and my thoughts on the decease of this distinguished man, known not only throughout this country but, in my opinion. better known throughout the world than almost any man in public life today for his great services to his country, for his strong mind, for his working capacity and for all that ap- pertains to a faithful Representative for nearly thirty years in the Houe of Representatives of the United States, I will take occasion, Mr. Speaker, to ask the House in the near future to designate a day when members may express their feelings in com- memoratian of the deceased member. I offer the following RESOLUTIO’ Resolved, That the House has heard with deep regret and profound sorrow of the death of the Hon. Wm.D.Kelley.late a Representative from the state of Pennsylvania. Resolved, That in recognition of the long and distinguished term of service rendered in thia body by the Hon, Wm, D. Kelley—a term | the longest in its history and which’ has made him for many years the “Father of the House”— appropriate service be hed in the hall of the House tomorrow at 12 o'clock noon. Resolved, Thata nommittee of nine mem- bers be appointed, who, with such members of the Senate as may be appointed, shail attend the funeral at Philadelphia, Resolved, That the clerk communicate these resolutions to the Senate and transmit a copy to the tamily of the deceased. THE COMMITTEE, The resolutions were unanimously adopted and the Speaker appointed the foilowing com- | mittee: Messrs. O'Neill of Pennsylvania, Me- Kinley, Cannon, Banks, McKenna, Carlisle, Mills, Holman and Mutchler. ‘Lhe Honse then, as a mark of respect to the memory of the deceased, at 12:15 ad- journed. TRE SENATE COMMITTEE, Vice President Morton has appointed the fol- lowing Senators to attend the funeral of Mr. Kelley: Senators Sherman, Cameron, Mander- son.

MEETING OF THE PENNSYLVANIA DELEGATION, After the adjournment of the House today the members of the Pennsylvania delegation held a meeting to take uction in respect to the death of their late colleague, Mr. O'Neill pre- s.ded and Mr, Reiily acted as secretary, Ou motion of Mr, Dalzell, seconded by Mr, Reilly and Mr, Osborue, resolutions were adopted: “That the state of Pennsylvania has lost by the death of our distinguished col- league, Hon, Wm. Kelley. a representative in the (ull sense of that term, An actual service of over twenty-nine years, unvroken in continnity, with unremitting faithfulness to every duty, has made the name of our deceased colleague known from one end of the land to the other, and we feel that the citizens of the United States are sorrowing with us on this sad occa- sion. That in testimony of our estcem to the memory of the ‘Father of the House,’ the members of the Pennsylvania delegation attend the funeral services in a body. That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the family of the deceased.” “PATHER OF THE HOUBE.” The honored title of ‘Father of the House,” which the late Judge Kelley has borue for many years, has, by his death, descended to another Philadelphia member—Mr. Randall, Still another Philadelphien, Mr. O'Neill, en- tered Congress at the same time that Mr. Ran- dail did, but failed of re-election one term, It was a matter of comment in the House to- day that the three oldest members in coutinu- ous service came from the same city.

THE OKLANOMA TOWN SITE BILL, The Senate committee on public lands spent two hours today in turther consideration of Senator Plumb’s bill to provide for the entry of town sites in Oklahoma. At the expiration of that time they adjourned until Monday, having practically completed a measure which is much more comprehensive in its terms than the original bili, aud which, it i intended, to formaliy adopt for report to the Senate at the next meeting.

The conference yesterday afternoon between the board of trade committees and Vice Presi- dent Thompson of the Pennsylvania railroad, ‘as stated in Ta Stan. reached no conclusion of any kind and was unsatisfactory from lack of authority on Mr. Thompson's part to speak for the company in respect to any matter except the increase of the railroad’s facilities. But some points of interest developed concerning Mr. Thompson's personal views in the informal conversation of the greater part of the confer- ence, Col. Ludlow's report showing the feasi- bility and desirability of SINKING THE TRACKS fora considerable portion of the line on Mary- land and Virginia avenues was brought to Mr. Thompson's attention, but he took issue with the engineering branch of the District govern- ment and pronounced the plan impracticable. The cut would, he said, be liable at any time to fill with water. No encouragement to look for any rearrangement of tracks whawoever was given by Mr. Thompson, or any reason to ex- Pectthatasingle grade crossing would be re- moved by the company, or a single objection- able feature of its occupation reme- died, whether legal or illegal. The South Washington representatives protested strongly against framing the bill for the com- pany’s relief in such terme as would give it the power of generalcondemnation. A portion of the city south of the present tracks and east of ‘3d street west was indicated as the cheapest land to be obtained. and the best both for the company and the city. In this connection Mr. T. W. Smith of the transportation committee suggested adiversion of the Baltimore and Potomac’s tracks for freight purposes from the mouth of the tunnel to M street, along M street to Water street and thence to the long bridge, and purchase for freight purpose: of property on both sides of this track, includ. ing twelve squares, from 697 to 706 inclusive, Thompson was inclined to look favorably upon the idea of acquiring @ second track across South Washington, but declined to say that if it were acquired all the freight cars should pase over it, leaving only passenger trafic for THE NORTHERN TRACKS, Mr. Thompson tried to learn whether the M street line project could be treated and con- sidered by the company as a proposition of the board of trade, but was informed by the rail- road committee that it could not be so treated; that it never had been acted upon by the board and that it was not to be considered ex- cept in connection with improvements in re- se er the northern tracks. Mr. Thompson pleaded the fact that the Baltimore and Poto- mae branch was for a long time unprofitable a8 a reason for the railroad’s unwill- ingness to spend money in improvements in Washington. Members of the railroad com- mittee called his attention to the benefits of the Baltimore and Po:omac branch to the | Pennsylvania road which are not indicated in the figures of the local branch, and also to the | fact that the outlays which make the Balti- | more and Potomac an expensive road did not occur in Washington, where free right of way and free station sites are had, but outside of the capital, as in tunnelling in and about Bal- timore. From remarks of Mr. Thompson just | before leaving the depot it seems probable that another conference may be held. ——~» THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS, THE SENATE COMMITTEE on the District of Columbia today decided to report a bill extending over the entire District the ordinances governing the city of Washing- ton, The resolution of Senator Butler direct- ing the committee to inquire into and report upon the expediency of purchasing the | plan. of the Washington gas light compan: was taken up, Under the terms of the resolu. tion a request was ordered tobe made of the company to furnish to the committee a state- Mment of the dividends declared upon the stock for the past ten years, the committee having been ins.ructed to inquire what would be a reasonable percentage of profit on the capital stock of said company, A favorable roport was ordered on the bill to amend the charter of the Anacostia and Poto- mac river railroad so as to aliow the extension of that road's tracks down Lith street to G_ street south, Senator Faulk- ner’s bill to extend the ordinances of the city of Washington to the whole District of Columbia, mentioned above to be favorably reported, provides tor the repeal of all ordi- nauces of Georgetown and the ievy court not in accord with the laws of the city, ibe nomination of Anson 8. Ta justice of the peace was considered und ordered to be favorably reported to the Senate, THE DETROIT COLLECTORSHIP. How Mr. Hopkins is Said to Have Availed Himself of an Opportuaity. vlor to bea The advantage of being onthe field at the time of action is beautifully exemplified by Mr. George H, Hopkins, who is the chairman of the republican state committee of Michigan. Mr. Hopkins is a prominent officer in ;the Grand Army and is also presi- i dent of the Bagley tobacco com- pany of Detroit. When the ways and means committee commenced their interesting seances Mr. Hopkins came on to Wastington to appear before the committee. The tobacco manu- facturers were also going to hold a little meet- ing to agree on trade marka, However, it was purely business that brought the gentlemen from Michigan to thecupital, Mr. Hopkins goes on the principle that business sometimes may be mixed with pleasure, and when he learned that Dan J. Campau, the coilector of custome at D&troit, felt so aggrieved over the scor- ing Secretary Windom gave him for de taining certain people without cause that he had resigned, he immediately col- lected his friends, girded up his loins and hied himself to the White House to make u pleasant little social callon the Presi- | dent. with the result that when Mr. | Hopkins finishes with the ways and means committee aud departs for his home in Michigan, he willcurry with him a commission appointing him to the vacant collectorship of customs at Detroit. es Distribution of Water at Hot Springs. Col, Thomas H. Musick, the chief of the mis- cellancous division, Interior department, is at Hot Springs, Ark., on business connected with certain proposed improvements relative to the distribution of the water. It is proposed, as | provided in the law, to collect the hot water in reservoirs which is now running to waste and distribute it by a system of pipes to the various bath houses on the government reserv- ation and to those off the reservation, the erection of which was authorized by the act of March 26, 1838. It is further proposed to erect a new bath house and bathing pool for the use of the indigent. There is now in use a tem- porary pen bath house. High Wind. Catats.

The Warm, Moist Atmosphere Favors the Spread of the Disease. ‘The health office reports that there is no change in the grip situation. It is here in foree, with no signs of leaving, but there have been no deaths reported for several days from pneumonia or kindred diseases, The present return of warmer, moist weather is looked upon with much apprehension and may possibly cause @ considerable increase of cases of the Prevailing epidemic. Disease gorms of al sorts are known to thrive and scatter in mois weather, and s continued period of brisk, dry weather would probably help a great deal in putting a stop to the prevailing malady.

He believes that his was a genuine case of that much-talked-of disease, He was disabled for more than a week and is | of the opinion that the new disease is entitled to the most respectful consideration. Col. Whitfield found that the clerical force in his office was somewhat demoralized by sickness and it has not yet fully recovered, Mr. Cooley, of the Post Office de- partment, has been in bed several days with the grip. It still remains with him and is frescoing his eyes with carmine tints, aud punctuates his conversation with coughs and sneezes, THE CONDITION AT THE CITY POST OFFICE shows @ very slight improvement today, but there are enough of the employes still absent with the grip to seriously interfere with the work of the office, especially as the amount of matter to be handled the last week or ten da: has been unusually large. Considerable ditti- culty has been met with in getting mail out in anything like proper time. In the delivery division there are eightclerks | and thirteen carriers absent, in the mailing di- vision ten clerks, while the registry division is the most fortunate of all,having ouly two of its clerks absent, —_.__—_ WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.
