The Vice President presented resolutions (received by telegraph) from the convention of granite dealers of the New England states, held at Boston, declaring it to be the sense of the convention that the city of New York affords advantages and facilities for the fair of 1892 possessed by no other city inthe union, and extending the thanks of the convention to the New England members who had voted for lo- cating it there.

Among the bills reported from committees and placed on the calendar were the following: House bill to extend to the port of San Antonio, Tex., the privileges of the act as to the immediate transportation of dutiable goods, Senate bill to establish certain ports of deliy- ery in Alaska, BILLS PASSED. The calendar was then taken up and the fol- lowing bills (among others) were passed: To authorize the Oregon and Washington bridge company to construct and maintain a bridge across the Columbia river between the state of Oregon and the state of Washington, and to establish it as a post road. THE COLUMBUS STATUE. For the erection and location of a bronze statue of Christopher Columbus and the removal of the naval monument to a new site.

MEASURES GO OVER. Mr. Evarts stated that as Mr. George did not desire to speak today on the resolution as to the election of a President pro tem. he would not ask its consideration today. . Mr. Blair made a like statement as to th educational bill, on which Mr. Spooner was to speak today. He added that the dependent pensions bill was to be taken up tomorrow, and that there were other pension matters which it was desirable to have considered,so that it would be impossible to do anything with the school bill tomorrow, end it would probably not inter- fere with any other business until Monday. ‘The consideration of the calendar was re- sumed and a number of bills were passed.

He said that he felt it his duty to speak in his own behalf, althongt he knew that he was addressing a jury which was prejudiced against him. He believed that he had carried the first district of West Virginia by means as fair, as honorable, as upright as had ever been used im any election in the history of the country. He reviewed the evidence in detail, controvert- ing the statements made by the supporters of the majority report, and in conclusion reiter- ated his declaration that he has been fairly and honestly elected. Mr. Cooper (Ohio) closed the debate with an argument in support of the claim of the con- testant, The vote was then taken on the minority resolution declaring Pendleton entitled to the seat, It was defeated—yeas 142, nays 159, a strict party vote. A SILENT OPPOSITION. The vote then recurred on the majority resolution seating Atkinson. The democrats refrained from voting, their object being to have the contestant sented’ Ne Geers than a quorum, so that the question of the right of the Speaker to counta quorum may be taken before the courte, The vote resulted: Yeas, 162; nays, 0; (the Speaker counting a quorum). THE NEW MEMBER ADMITTED. Mr. O’Ferrall (Va.) raised the point of no quorum, but the Speaker ignored him, and the newly elected member appeared at the bar of House and took the oath of office amid ap- plause on the republican side. ————-eee—___—__ CAITLE DISEASE LAW. A Strong Law to Prevent the Spread of Pleuro-Pneumonia. Mr. Paddock introduced in the Senate today @ bill toamend the act creating a bureau of animal industry. It provides for the appgint- ment of a chief at $3,000 a year and for a suffi- cient force of assistants.

The California Syndicate Pays $140,- 000 For It. For several days past there have been ra- mors in regard to an important sale of prop- erty in what is known as the Tenleytown re- gion. The rumors, however, were provokingly indefinite and yet the intimation that the ne- gotiations said to be in progress were of un- usual importance gave an additional in- terest to the gossip. Gradually, however, the details leaked out one after the other, and today it is the talk of the street that ex-Presi- dent Cleveland's country place on the Tenley- town road has been sold, The principals in the affair refuse to talk, and yet they cannot deny the truth of the rumors which are now agitating real estate circles. It seems probable that Mr. Cleveland, in the sale of his place, will create almost as widespread a sen- sation as when he purchased it, nearly four Years ago, It is estimated that in the sale just closed he will clear over $100,000. The price at which he sold is $140,000, while four years ago he paid for the place and the improvements which he made about $32,000. The new own- ers of Oak View are the California syndicate, which recently became prominent here by making un extensive line of invest ment along Connecticut avenue ex- tended to the District line. As was stated in Tue Star at the time the purchase: made by these gentlemen along the line of Conne ut avenue extension comprised some forty separate tracts of land. The title of these various pieces of property are now being searched and as rapidly ss the lawyers complete their work the legal transfer of the property to the syndicate is made. The purchases already made involve an expenditure of over a million of dollars. But the syndicate are not yet through The purchase of Oak View is the beginning of another series of purchases which, though smaller in extent than the Connecticut avenue holdings, are likely to require quite as much money to carry out. Oak View, however, bears a rela- tion to several other purchases made by the syndicate which makes it of importance in carrying out the plans for developing the property, TO BE CUT INTO LOTS. It is not likely that Oak View will be kept in its entirety as a place of residence. The house will probably be allowed to stand, but the grounds will be subdivided into building lots. It has been known for some months past that Mr. Cleveland would sell his property, but the price placed upon it was thought to put it prsctically out of the market, Negotiations, however, were begun with his agentin this city, Mr. Albert A. Wilson, and thi sale was finally effected by Mr. Wilson in connection with Mr, R. H. Goldsborough. The price paid is about $6,000 per acre fur the twenty-nine acres said to be in the place and will rank this property among the gilt-edged holdings in the suburbs, It is known that Mr. Cleve- land regarded his place as vgluable property. He was certainly justified in the opinion that it was worth considerably more than he paid for it nearly four years ago | by the change in values in property ‘all about | Oak View. Mr, Cleveland made his purchese | in the spring of ’86, a short time after what is known as the Massachusetts avenue and Tenleytown boom set in. Secretary Whitney had already paid €300 per acre for a farm some distance beyond, and a short time before the close of the last adminisération he disposed of his property, Grasslands, as it was known, at a profit of $75,000. Property along the Tenleytown road and Massachusetts avenue extended was bought up at $300 and $400 per acre.

White, U.S.N., chief of the bureau of yards and docks, died this morning at his residence in Hillyer place at 11:30 o'clock of apoplexy, after an illness of but @ few hours, He was in perfect heaith yesterday, with the exception of @ slight cold, and at 1 o'clock, having finished up the current work in his office for the day, went to his home. This morning on awakening he felt quite as well as usual and took a second short nap, from which he awoke at 7 o'clock, his usual hour for rising. It was then that the stroke came, a clot forming on the brain, causing apo- plectic paralysis and unconsciousness. He la: in this condition until 11:30, when his breat! ceased and he passed away without having spoken or shown any other signs of life. Dr. Gardiner was called as soon as the stroke came, but could do nothing. Commodore White leaves a wife and three children. The news of his death, following closely after the announcement of his stroke, was a severe shock to the employes of his bureau and his brother officers. Everybody seemed dazed at the suddenness of the calamity and expressions of the deepest regret were universal, Captain Henry L. Howison, president of the steel board, was a classmate of Commodore White’s, and spoke of him in the highest terms to a Stan reporter, “He was one of the best men in the service,” he said, “‘one of the most just, the fairest, the ablest." Asa seaman he had no superior; as a man he had the most lovable qualities—kind- hearted, considerate and affable. He had always been possessed of good health, having astrong, sturdy constitution, and his habits were the most exemplary.” A SKETCH OF HIS CAREER. George Bartol White was born in Pennsylva- nia, appointed to the naval academy Septem- ber 28, 1854, graduating in 1858, and for two years was attached to the steam sloop Saratoga of the home squadron. He was on this vessel in the action which resulted in the capture of the steamers Miramon and Marquis de la Habana at Vera Cruz in 1860. His next vessel was the steamer Union, also in the home squadron, 1861, and it was in this year that he was com- missioned as a lieutenant. During the war he was actively engaged on vari vessels. For two years he served on the steam gun boat Ottawa in the south Atlantic blockading squadron, taking part in the battle of Port Royal, the engagement at Port Royal Ferry, June i, 1862, the engagement with the rebel ‘flotilla ia Wilmington river in February, 1862, the capture of Fernandina, and the action in St. Mary's river in March and the operations in Stone river. He was next sent to the steamer State of Georgia, in the north Atlantic blockading squad- ron, and then to the steamer Mendola of the same fleet, participating in the capture of Fort Fisher. He received his com- mission as lieutenant March, 1865, and from on duty on the steam sloop Dacotah, in the Pacific squadron; at the League Island Pa., in 1869; on equipment duty in Pi phia, 1869-71; commanding the store ship On- ward at Callao, Peru, 1871-2; commissioned as commander August 13, 1872; served as light-house inspector in 1877; commanded the Frolic, south ‘Atlantic station, 1877; light-house inspector, Philadelphia, 1877-Si; comman Kearsarge, 1881-82; member board of ————__—_ OPPOSED TO THE.

WHERE THE BLAME LIES. The Walnut Grove Dam Had a Leak and the Engineer Knew It. Cu1caco, In., Feb. 27.—E. B. Priest of Pres- cott, A. T., says the undoubted reason for the breaking of the dam of the Walnut Grove storage company across the Hazzayampa river last Saturday was the leak which had been per- ceptible for some time in the masonry about fifty feet from the bottom. “This leak had been known to the engineer of the dam,” said Mr. Priest, “and yet he made no effort to have it repaired. I don't see how any one else could be held responsible. As to the number of lives lost it must certainly ex- ceed 100. ‘There were scores of men working in the placer mines there of whom no one knew anything. They had no homes, and for iknow they had ‘no names. These men could have been swept away and no one would have been the wiser. This is the time when the placer mines are being worked to their ut- most capacity and the rush is the greatest, and so I will be much surprised should it be learned that anything under 100 men have been lost.” —<$<—<__—_ THE OHIO FLOOD.

But for a Drunken Messenger Dwellers in the Valley Would Have Kecaped. immense volume which went through this passage the water continued to rise until 9 tendent Brown, seemg the dam must inevitably give way, sent a messenger to the lower dam te notify people there of danger, but he stopped at a saloon on the road, and becoming intoxi- cated failed to deliver the message. Next morning another messenger was sent, but was overtaken and drowned by the flood just as he neared the lower camp. About midnight we were warned by Brown calling to his foremams “Get up, Phil; I think the dam bas broken.” Soon after there was a tremendous roar, which was indescribable, and we arose and looking out saw the water rushing cutof the dam. Inside of two hours it had disappeared entirely from where it was from 60 to 90 feet deep. Francis M. Parker was one of the men rescued from a perilous position about day- break. Parker and his partners had gone to bed. When he was awakened he beard one of his partners exclaim: “My God, what was that!” He (Parker) never saw them again. He was caught up by the water and was lifted to the roof of the cabin, where he clung to the rafters until the cabin, after floating around, was driven against the bluff, where he seized some bushes and drew himself up on the cliff, One man was scen to start for a place of safety, and seeing escape was impossible bravely turned his face to the flood and was swept away. Another man was seen going up a steep hill and had reached a point about 50 fees above the level of the river bank when the mighty volume of water struck and killed him, Outside towns are supplying all needed neces» aries, a A SWINDLING CONCERN, An Insurance Fraud Goes to the Wall and Its Officials to Parts Unknown.

Lexrxotox, Ky.; Feb, 27.—Thomas O’Brien, the murderer of Bettie Shea, was hanged at 11:59 a.m. O’Brien once kept a variety show and while in this business killed Henry Met- calf, but was acquitted. He married Bettie Shea, a pretty giri, secretly. At the same time he became engaged to a Miss Laughiin and also kept a mistress named Lizzie Adama, Last March it became evident to Bettie that her marriage must be made public. She be- sought O’Brien time after time to acknowledge her as his wife before the world, but he put her off. The time he had set to marry Miss Laughlin was drawing near. He was also deepiy attached to the Adams woman. On April 10 last the body of Bettie Shea, clad in her night clothes, was dis- covered lying in her room. She had been beaten to death with a heavy piece of lead, which was afterward found atthe house of Lizzie Adams, where O'Brien was arrested. All through his trials O’Brien maintained a stolid indifference. The circum- stances pointed to him so strongly that neither the court of appeals nor the United States Su- preme Court would grant a writ of error, ene COLLIERY AFIRE, Men Narrowly Escape Suffocation— Twenty-Three Mules Smothered.
