The ceremony was performed in the deep alcove of the bay window of the drawing room, where an altar was erected. The apace was curtained off by draperies of smilax falling from the projecting canopy, the corners filled in with palin altar decked with t annunciation lilies. \11 the decorations of the room and the dinis ining were of ilies with gurlands of smilax and aspa When the bridal party entered Rev. Fat yd, pastor of St. Stephen's Catholic Church, who performed the ceremony, was in readi- ness. Mr. Chas. Edward Rice, ax master of ceremonies, stretched two white ribbons froma the back door of the parlor to the altar, form- ing the aisle. ‘The groom and his best man, Mr. Wm. H. Dennis. came in together, followed by the bride and her father. ‘The couple, as they stood during’ the ceremony, made a strikingly handsome pair. The bride wore a traveling dress of light gray ¢ | cloth, with steel and silver galoon trimming it. | Her gloves matched in shade, Her hat was of SAY crepe with a spray of wild heather om it. Her bouquet was of lilies of the valley. She ® very handsome girl and is highly accom- lished. Mr. Cahoon is a well-known lawyer in his district and is rominence in ancestry and is only a recent convert to Catholicism, which faith his bride also joined some time ago. It being imperatively necessary for him to be back in St. Louis within a’short period the wedding day was hastened, and was, therefore, quieter on account of the Lenten season. ‘The bride's father aud mother, Judge and Mrs. Fisher, their son, Mr. George P.

Denied by the Commissioners. The United States Electric Lighting Com- pany requested permission yesterday to make all house and street connections upon lines where their conduits are completed as well as upon those for which applications have been filed. ‘The matter was referred to Capt. Lusk, in whore department this subject belongs. In re- porting upon the request he says: “This application is for a permit of wide scope intended to cover the whole period of time from March 4, 1891, until action by Con- gress upon the report of the board on electrical wires, or until April 1, 1892. Ido not believe it to be either wise or necessary to rant this it. The provision of w limiting the period during which the Commissioners may authorize conduits to be laid relates to placing overhead wires un- derground, whereas connecting with conduits is & matter dealing entirely with wires already underground. I believe that the power of the Commissioners to grant permits for all neces- sary connections with underground conduits for electrical pur exiats without reference to the limitations contained in the legal provision governing the placing of overhend wires under- ground. — I, therefore, recommend that this permit be ‘not granted, but that hereafter each sepurate case of necemity for connections of this kind be considered upon its merits.” ‘The Commissioners approving the recom- mendation refused the permit. o7dee SE AN EXODUS OF BOOKMAKERS.

The Trial Trip Over the Track of the Eck- ington Street Railroad. The first trip of a street car propelled by the electric motor over the branch track of tho Eckington railroad was made this morning, and the experiment was highly satisfactory to Col. Truesdell and other officers of the road who were passengers. The branch road runs from the junction of New York avenue and Sth street to the corner of 15th and G streets. The start was made, however, from Eckington, and the junction at 5th aud New York avenue was reached in twelve minutes: Slower time was made over the rest of the route on account of a large number of vehicles whose drivers were not on the lookout for street cars. As the car stood for a few minutes at the end of the route—15th and G street it was the object of curiosity of hundreds of passers by. It is one of two cars temporarily provided by the Accumulator Com- pany of Philadelphia and New York until the six cars which are being constrneted for the Eckington Company's use are ready. It isa very convenient and comfortable car, bei about two feet wider than the ordinary street car, painted in good taste and comfortably up- holatered. ‘The motor is underneath the car, ‘and all that is required is man on the front platform to manipulate the brake. The car is started and ease. The two cars will be running regularly in a few days, AMUSEMENTS, Seats on sale tomorrow morning for Mr. Barnes of New York at ae 's next week.

Messrs. Binir, Evarts, Hampton, Ingalls, Payne and Spooner—six of the Senators whose terms expire at noon-—were in the chamber to the Inst, and gave no outward manifestation of concern or regret at leaving the old familiar hall, although ‘now and again one of their ae- ‘sociates approached to say farewell. A SUMMARY OF APPROPRIATIONS. Within ten minutes of noon Mr. Allison asked and obtained leave to have printed in the Record a summary of the appropriations for this session. In the nature of things, he said, that statement could not be prepared for a few days. To a witty suggestion of Mr. Cockrell’s Mr. Allison gave the reply that it would be “a fair, candid statement of the situation what- ever it in.” The manner _as well as the turn of la employed by Mr. Allison gave rise toa langh among democratic Seuators. Know it will be bad enough,” Mr. Cockrell added, “but if it is fair and candid we will be satisfied.” ‘Mr. Butler reminded his di ed friend (ir. Allison) that heretofore he had always had that statement prepared and delivered be- fore the cloge of the session. Perhaps, how- ever, (he ofa witha significance unmistakable) Pressure of business or something else has pre- vented him getting it ready now, which is very much to be regretted. Mr. Allison accepted the badinage smilingly, and expressed his assurance that the Senator from South Carolina would, readily cee that it Lad been impossible for him to give an accurate statement of the appropria before ad- journment today. TURNING BACK THE CLOCK. Capt. Barset’s march to the locality of the clock, with long white wand in hand, in érder to put back the minute hand to suit the emer- gency of the occasion, was to be omitted. Those who imagined #0, however, were amus- ingly disappointed, for the venerable gentle- man, wand in hand and with his characteristic Were only redoubled when Mr. Mille inquired whether this was part of the funeral services. ‘Mr. Cannon (Ill) submitted the conference Feport on the general deficiency bill, and while he was explaining the report the Speaker resumed the chair. His was the signal for a wild outburst from the republican j air, he: and records were thrown in the 5 erchiefs were waved, and for a few moments the chamber rang with cheers.

PASRED. The conference report was agreed to, thus disposing of the last of the general appropria- tion bills. Mr. Funston (Kan.) moved to sus pend the rules and pass Senate bill for the erec- tion of a public building at Kansas City at a cost not to exceed €150,000. In ii to this motion Mr. Springer (Hll.) congratebion the country that the cra of treasury raids was now ataclose. The republican side bad but fifty-five minutes in which to put its hand into the troasury and squander the people's money. ‘The motion was lost, not securing a two- thirds vote. ‘On motion of Mr. McKinley the Speaker was authorized to appoint » committee of three members, to join with the committee appointed by the Senate, to wait upon the President and inform him that the two houses were ready to adjourn unless he bad some further communi- cation to make to them. To WAIT ON THE PRESIDENT. Messrs. McKinley, Payson and Mills were ap- pointed as such committee.

Ouce again, and « third time still, the time-killing opera tion was performed, and finally when the thing was overdone he stalked back for the fourth time and advanced the hands a few minutes. TO CORRECT ERR Meanwhile the clerk of the House had brought over # foint resolution just passed to correct an error in the enrollment of the agri- cultural appropriation bill; and Mr. Plumb, explaining it and commenting on it, said that the most important Jegislation of Congress now. adays was done by enrolling clerks, and that it would be very lucky if the great appropria- tion bills of the session did not contain, each of them, as mauy errors asthe tariff bill had contained. | The error which this Joint resolution was to correct was this: An amendment appropriating £150,000 for the purchase of seeds for the re- lief of settlers in the arid regions had been struck out in conference, but it appeared in the enrolled Dill and was’ as much the law as any other part of the bill. ‘THE LAST LEGISLATIVE ACT FAILS OF EFFECT. The join: resolution was passed—the last piece of Senate legislation of the Fifty-frst Congress—but it was of no force or effect, for betore it could be sent back to the House that body (not having had recourse to the Bassett method of postponing the hour of noon) bad adjourned. When no other scrap of business remained to be transacted and when the clock had taken a three-minute step forward ata touch of the old wizard’s wand the Vice President arose and made his farewell speech. THE VICE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. He said: Iam admonished by the dial that the life of the Fifty-first Congress is ended and that the hour of separation and farewell has again arrived. ‘The record is made up and has gone into history. No one of us can be un- mindful as we part of the fact that all are not with us who answered to the first roll-call of this Congress. Three members of this body, all taken from one side of the chamber, ba answered the lust summons and_gone out for- ever from the haunts of men. They were weil worthy of the love we bore them and will be cherished in the hearts of the people as able, honorable and patriotic public servants. Without previous experience as a presiding officer I came with distrust to the discharge of the duty imposed by the Constitution upon the Vice President in his relation to the Senate— certain only of an unfaltering right and of the patience and this great body. I acknowledge with grateful sensibility the courtesy and kindness which, even in critical and complicated situations, the members of the Senate have been accustomed to afford to me and the honor conferred by the resolution fut adopted in my absence trom the chair. With the earnest hope that each member of this body may be blessed in every relation of life, I now declare that the constitutional period of the Fifty-first Congress having been completed the Senate stands adjourned with- out day. ‘There was a good deal of applause on the floor and the galleries at the conclusion of Mr. Morton's little speech, which was at precisely 12:18. For the next half hour or so there were on the floor and in the halls many hearty and probably sincere leavetakings of Senators with each other and with Senate officials. HOUSE. The scenes in the House at the night sessich —the last one of its existence—were hardly up to the standard of the scenes which have made the Fifty-first Congress memorable. Confer- irpose to do forbearance of The yeas and nays were ordered, but were interrupted by the Speaker with the statement that in the enrolling of the agricultural bill the appropriation of €150,000for the relief of des- titute persons in the west had been inadvert- ently retaine He therefore asked unanimous consent for the passage of a joint resolution rectifying the mistake. Mr. Pickler of South Dakota objected, whereupon Mr. Funston of Kansas vigorously exclaimed: “Shame on you! Shame on you! You villain! You villain!” But Mr. Pickler subsequently withdrew his objection and the joint resolution was passed. SPEAKER REED'S VALEDICTORY. The speaker then rose and saia: Gentlemen of the House of Reprenentatives: After two long and stormy sessions, in some re- " unparalleled in a hundred years, the Horse of Representatives of the Pifty-trst Con- gress will soon pass with comy record into the history of the country, and. ats works ‘will follow it." What we have done is in large meas- ure political. Whatever is political rouses the sternest, the moxt turbulent, the most unforgiving ions of =the = human race. Political uction can never be justly viewed from a near standpoint. Time and distance are needed fora ripe judgment, d the verdict of history is the only verdict worth recording. To state in language which would seem to me to be adequate the achieve- ments of the House would uot be suitable to ix time or to this place. Nor is it in the least poedfal that I hould hero and now rekindle lisputes or fan the em! les past as show. Whether in the things ‘and the things we have attempted for the fur- therance of human liberty we were actuated by high and honorable motives will be visible to all the world at no distant day. Our actions need no catalogue, and all enumeration and praise by ourselves’ would be in vain. If our deeds do-not praise us our words cannot. Con- fident as Tam of the verdict of time on what we have done, I am still highes: commendation usin the measures we have passed, valuable as they are, but because we have taken stride the direction of responsible go ing demonstrated to the that have been elected to do their will can do it, henceforth excuses will not be taken for formance and government by the people will be stronger in the land. Toward those who have majority of the House ba‘ lmve no unkindly or personal feeling. Who- ever offers battle to old convictions and faiths must expect battle, and the vigor of the re- sistance must always bear some proportion to the vigor of the onset. To members on my left with whom Iam politically associated to tender my most Sincere and heartfelt acknowledgment. No man received more and unflinch- ing support or from a band of men more otic. ivam proud to acknowledgo in al that has been done I have been but one in the mul- fitude, ‘and that the honors of the Fifty-first Congress belong to you alone.
