On the night of December $1 last, when tin horns and explosives made noise to usher out the old and welcome the new year, Maria Pinkney was beaten into in- sensibility and her attending physician, Dr. C. J. Smith, was fully satisfied that Maria would die with the old year. She and her husband, Philip Pinkney, ha‘ celebrated the last of the old year by in: ulging in a fight in their home, 1918 10th street north- west. All sorts of household utensils were used by the trate husband. Washbowls, pitchers and stove-lifters were among the articles anf the woman received numerous cuts and bruises about the head, arms and body. The woman's tongue was also badly cut. It was almost certain that the woman would dte, and the police were on the alert for the husband, but he was not to be found. He had gone to Philadelphia and has since resided there working as a laborer. During all his stay there he never contributed a dollar toward the support of his wife, but his father sent her money from time to time. Two days ago Philip returned to the city and Policeman Geghan arrested him. Judge Miller heard the evi- dence in the case this morning. The wife did not desire to prosecute the case, but Judge Miller said that the United States had an interest in the matter and he intended to impose a jail sentence in the case. | “They have been married a long time,” |said Lawyer Moss, “and have thirteen | ehildren.”” “I hope they are not all like the father,” remarked the court. “But, your honor, this is the first time he has been in trouble.” “That's so much the worse.” Counsel said that the defendant and his wife own two houses and he hoped the | court would impose a fine in the case, as he | was satisfied that they would have no more | trouble. “He can have four months in jail,” said the court. “Won't your honor make It @ fine?” asked counsel. “His father will pay the fine.” “That's just the reason I'll not impose a fine,” added the judge, ‘the hardship will fall’ upon the father.’ This time the de- fendant will have to go to jail and stand his own punishment. a Thirty Buildings Burned. Fire broke out in the planing mill at the corner of 5th and Water streets, almost in the center of the business district of Stoux City, Iowa, yesterday. Five minutes later the great building was blown to atoms by a terrific explosion and in a second later the scattered embers had ignited a dozen buildings in the vicinity, many of them frame structures. Four square blocks were burned and the loss is close to $00,000. Thirty buildings were burned. Lieut.

The Senate's Long Sitting Ended Barly This Morning, WORN OUT BY CONSTANT CALLS. The Silver Men Evidently Prepared to Go On Indefinitely. THE SCENES OF THE NIGHT. The test of “physical endurance” has ended. The protracted session of the Sen- ate expired at ten minutes before 2 o'clock this morning, in the thirty-eighth hour of its existence. The end was brought about in the only way possible under the cir- cumstances, by the lack of a quorum. When the contest was entered upon it was evident to every man of any experience in the Senate that the majority would be the sufferers. An attempt to wear out an absent minority could not find otherwise than in the discomfiture and final defeat of those who assumed the task. It was necessary, or at least appeared s0, for the Senators who have been making a fruitless effort to secure the repeal of the Sherman law to go through a test of physi- cal suffering to demonstrate to the Presi- dent and to those of the public who are de- manding the unconditional repeal of the law their sincerity of purpose and their helplessness to do anything in opposition to a determined minority. The repealers therefore fearlessly subjected themselves to the test of physical suffering to prove thelr good faith. It never was a test of endurance between the repealers and the Senator Stewart. anti-repealers, since the anti-repealers were not subjected to the strain, but was merely @ test of the amount of suffering the ad- ministration forces could endure in sup- port of their good faith. It was like the self-inflicted torture of a religious fanatic to appease the imagined anger of his God, and during the closing hours of the ordeal the evidence of the suf- fering endured became painful to the au- dience assembled to witness the sacrifice. Men with gong years of service, capable of enduring the test of any intellectual bat- tle, but past that age where brute force and physical power are weapons at their co! mand, became pitiable objects of physical suffering before the last night's session was over. Their forms bent, their legs trem- bling and their steps unsteady; heavy lines drawn across their features; as pale almost as death, with dark rings around their eyes, which were almost closed with sleep, and ‘at any minute threatened with utter collapse. If for a few minutes they sought that rest which seemed nec: to save their lives the inexonerable call for a quorum aroused them and the ringing of the electric bells, sounding afar off to theif sleepy ears, called them to their self-imposed duty and deprived them of the poor comfort of brief oblivion. ‘The session from late in the afternoon un- 1 the hour when the long prayed for ad- journment came was one of weary debate and still more weary roll-calls. Mr. Martin yielded the floor without finishing his Speech, which, according to his own esti- mate would be more than fifteen hours long when finished. Mr. Teller then took the floor and spoke for awhile and then yielded to Mr. Stewart who held the floor until the adjournment was had. Secretary Carlisle was at the Capitol during the early part of the night holding conferences with the leading repeal Senators and feeling the ulse of the Senate, to determine how much fonger they could ‘hold out. The situation was far from encouraging to him. Not Allowed to Rest. As the night wore on the calls for a quo- rum became more frequent, and the re- sponses less prompt. Until 11 o'clock it was always possible to get a quorum to respond to their names, but it is doubtful whether there was ever a quorum in the cham- ber at one time. In every chair and on every sofa in the cloak rooms and on the sofas in the chamber were stretched weary Senators, and in their seats were only a few, who, being on guard, had to be ‘there, or could find no other ‘place to rest. But the silver men did not propose to allow their opponents to rest, though they might themselves enjoy that privilege, and the quorum calls came at regular enough intervals to preclude slumber. At the sound of the call bell Senators half asleep and hardly able to stand would come slowly into the chamber, and as soon as they had answered to their names would totter back to their corners. The silver men finally decided that the other side were not getting weary fast enough and that they must preserve a quorum in the chamber after responding to their names. ‘They therefore made the calls still more frequently. Finally, Mr. Quay, to test the Senator Wolcott—“I Suggest There is mo Quorum Present. question of how frequently a call could be had, made the point of no quorum im- mediately after a call had closed which showed a quorum present. Mr. Voorhees protested that this could not be done, but Mr. Frye decided that there was no dis- cretion with the chair and that a roll call must be had whenever the absence of a quorum was suggested. He said that the Senate was a dignified body and that the rules were framed with the assumption that every Senator would observe the pro- prieties. Early in the night it had become evident that many of the Senators were in a condition to render it dangerous for them to go longer without rest. An agreement was reached, therefore, ‘that a recess should be taken at 10 o'clock until 10 this morning. This was received with great satisfaction, but when it came to put the plan into operation Mr. Stewart, who had the floor, refused to yield for the motion, but insisted that he intended to speak un- til noon on Sunday. The disappointment occasioned by this was most keen, and this added to the already severe suffering. ‘Mr. Stewart, who had not been without sleep the night before, was as fresh as a school boy and was apparently capable of holding the floor quite as long as he threat- ened. McPherson and Voorhees were al- most reduced to a state of collapse. The New Jersey Senator looked like a man on the point of death. His struggle to keep from yielding to the fatigue which was rap- idly overcoming him was painful to see. Half a dozen times he got his hat and overcoat, with the evident intention of of duty aud. responsibilty. mastered “his of dut feeling. of fatigue and he remained. At times it looked as if he would surely be prostrated. Senator Stewart—“I Would Like to See the People Free.” ator’s elequence. Soon an exalted period in the speech aroused him from his stolen slumbers and he turned about to face the speaker. Then his‘arms fell wearily on his desk and his head sank down until his face was buried in hisarms. —. Aldrich, Frye, Platt and some other Sen- ators leaned back in their chairs and read novels with which they had supplied thém- selves, and Manderson occupied the time in dictating letters to his correspondents. Mr. Harris’ Amendment. Mr. Harris, during the early part of the evening, a member of the finance commit- tee, gave notice of an amendment to the re- peal bill, which was read, at the suggestion of Mr. Allison. It strikes out the declara- tory clause of the Voorhees substitute, and inserts, in lieu of it, six new sections. They provide that the seigniorage or profit from the coinage of silver bullion shall be coined into silver dollars, with full legal tender quality, at the rate of not less than $3,000,000 per month, and that they shall be covered into the treasury. When all the seigniorage or profit from bullion is coined, the Secre- tary of the Treasury is to purchase, every month, silver bullion at the market value sufficient to coin $—— (amount left blank) every month, and is to have the same ined, as fast as purchased, into standard ver dollars. When circulating notes (ex- cept national bank notes) of less denomina- tions than $10 are received at the treasury or subtreasury they are to be counted, re- corded and destroyed; and other Ike notes are to be reissued of not less denomination than $10. There is a like provision to na- tional bank notes. The coinage of $2.50 and $% gold pieces is to cease, and such coins are to be withdrawn from circulation as fast as they are received at thé treasury. Holders of standard silver dollars are to be per- mitted to deposit them at the treasury and receive certificates for them of not less de- nomination than $10. Mr. Allison referred to the significance of an amendment coming from a distinguished member of the finance committee and asked M:. Harris whether the blank in the amend- ment was not an omission. “It is not,” Mr. Harris replied. “The blank was left so that the tor from Iowa or any other Senator can test the sense of the Senate as to the amount with which the blank should be filled.” Mr. Stewart commented on the phrase “market price” in the amendment, and said that “market price” had been abolished by the Secretary of the Treasury. ‘The amendment was ordered printed, and Mr. Stewart went on with another half-hour section of speech. Giving Mr. Stewart a Rest. At 10:45, when Mr. Stewart's voice was showing evident signs of wear, Mr. Wolcott made the usual reference to the absence of @ quorum, and Mr. Voorhees, after the roll call had disclosed only thirty-nine Senators present, asked that the names of the ab- sentees’ should be recorded. The names, excluding the Senators excused, thus black- listed were as follows: Messrs. Aldrich, Allen, Biackburn, Call, Cameron, Carey, Chandler, Coke, Daniel, Dubois, George, Gibson, Hansbrough, Irby, Jones (Ark.), Jones (Nev.), Kyle, Martin, Mills, Peffer, Perkins, Pettigrew, Power, Pugh, Ransom, Roach, Sherman, Shoup, Teller, Vest, White (Cal.) and Wolcott. The longest wait in the whole protracted debate occurred while the sergeant-at-arms, Senator Voorhees’ Nap. under orders of the Senate, was searching for absent members to “request” their at- tendance. It was nearly 11:3) before Messrs. Palmer, Brice, Vilas and Berry were found to complete the quorum, and Mr. Stewart, much refreshed by several cups of bouillon, resumed his talk. ‘When Mr. Wolcott, at 11:50, again deemed {t a convenient opportunity to suggest the absence of a quorum, there was a buzz of expectancy in the galleries (which still re- mained three-parts full) and among the few spectators on the floor, for the whisper had gone round that a quorum would not be forthcoming, and that some release from the long-continued strain was in sight. The long conferences which Mr. Voorhees and Mr. Gorman had been holding together on the floor lent probability to these anticipa- tions, which were increased when it was announced that Senators Turpie and Vance had gone home sick. Present and Not Responding. Still a cail of the roll showed forty-one Senators present, including Mr. Stewart. Mr. Voorhees, in asking that absentees be reported, wished that particylar em- phasis be laid on the names of those pres- ent and not responding. This suggestion, however, failed to draw any response from Messrs. Wolcott, Jones (Nev.) or Dubois, who were in their seats, or from Mr. Teller, who was plainly visible, surveying the pro- ceedings from the cloak room. After the lapse of twenty-five minutes, when no return had been made by the ser- geant-at-arms sent out in quest of absent members, Mr. Manderson (Neb.) began to voice the general impatience, expressing a hope that there would not be much longer delay. In the meantime the Senate rapidly thinned, nearly all the republican Senators who had been fairly constant in attendance early in the night taking their departure. Senator Butler of South Carolina strolled into the chamber, but was quickly warned by Mr. Wolcott of the situation and did not ask that his name be called. ‘When nearly one hour had elapsed with- out one additional Senator responding, Mr. Wolcott, approaching Mr. Faulkner, who was in the chair, made an informal proposi- tion to him that the silver men would give him a quorum if he would consent to an adjournment (with a quorum _ present). This proposition Mr. Faulkner promptly de- clined. Shortly after 1 o'clock the dead silence was broken by Mr. Gallinger, who asked the Senator from Indiana (Mr. Voorhees), whether he expected the Senate to remain in session much longer without their much needed rest. He confessed that he, himself, would be giad to hear a motion to adjourn. “The Senator from Indiana,” he continued, need not answer unless he chooses; but if he does not answer I shall certainly not re- main here much longer.” Mr. Voorhees rose, and every Senator in the chamber gave earnest attention to his remarks. He said that he had not em- barked upon this voyage without a full knowledge of the difficulties that would en- counter him. His previous exeprience in such matters had perhaps prepared him for what had happened, more so, perhaps, than others of less experience. During the past forty-two hours he had only slept one hour. He believed a quorum would ultimately reach the chamber. There were, he said, forty members here now, not counting seven or eight luxuriant, kindly souls, sitting about the chamber too indo- lent even to answer to their names. Mr. Voorhees suggested to Mr. Gallinger that he use his influence with these Senators, but Mr. Gallinger denied having any. “Do you know anybody who does?” asked Mr. Voorhees, amid the laughter of the galleries. Mr. Manderson quietly asked Mr. Voor- hees if a recess of ten hours would not break the continuous session which he said he had promised the press and the country, and the manager of the bill answered this question with the reply that it would so on the record. ‘Then Mr. Hill of New York took a hand in the informal battle and protested against any action that would prevent Senator Stewart, who, he said, sarcastically, had had no opportunity of making a speech, from enlightening the Senators. “Thanks,” said Mr. Stewart. “Don’t mention it,” replied Mr. Hill, with @ generous wave of his hand, and the gal- leries applauded. The Last Quora At 1:05 a quorum appeared and Mr. Stew- art continued his speech. Mr. Stewart had continued but fifteen minutes when Mr. Wolcott, fearing, per- haps, that Senators who as goon’ as they answered the previous call would get to sleep again, once more sug- Besied the absence of a quorum. Thirty-six Senators only answered to their names and on motion of Mr. Voor- hees the following lst of absentees was compiled: Messrs. Aldrich, Allen, Blackburn, Brice, Butler, Caffrey, Call, Cameron, Chandler, Cockrell, Coke, Colquitt, Daniel, Dolph, Dubois, George, Gibson, Gorman, Hans- brough, Harris, Irby, Jones of Arkansas, Jones of Nevada, Kyle, Martin, Mills, Mit- chell of Oregon, Mitchell of’ Wisconsin, Morgan, Morrill, Murphy, Peffer, Perkins, Pettigrew, Power, Pugh, Ransom, Roach, Sherman, Shoup, Stockbridge. Teller, Tur- ple, Vance, Vest, Walthall, White of Call- fornia, Wilson and Wolcott. Subsequently Messrs. Hunton, Aldrich, Blackburn, Brice, Gorman and Murphy, one less than a quorum, answered to their names. ‘The Adjournment. , At 1:40 the sergeant-at-arms submitted his report in writing, which showed that there were 2 Senators absent from the city, 12 excused by the Senate, 4 unable to at- tend on account of illness, 9 in the Capitol who made no answer .to the summons, and 16 reported at their residences as absent from home and could not beefound. , Immediately following this report Mr. ‘Voorhees sald that, in view of the report of the sergeant-at-arms, it was evident no fur- ther business could be transacted that night and he therefore moved that the Senate adjourn. There was no opposition and the Senate at 1:45 adjourned until I o'clock Friday. ~ + oe ASSESSMENTS GEORGETOWN. Assessor Trimble Reports the Results to the Com: era.
