WASHINGTON, March 20.-The Senate had
q short executive session to-day, and took
preliminary measures with a view of resusci-
tating the Nicaragua treaty which was re-
Gently rejected. There are indications e
success.
The conference of the Republican Senators
this morning was with reference to this subs
ject.
The friends of Senator Bigler think 1t OF
sufficient Importance to deny, as wholly un-
true, the newspaper statement that previous
to his election as a delegate to the Charleston
Convention he pledged himself to vote for
Mr.. Douglas after the third ballot.
The bids for the Postoffice blanks have not
yet been opened, but Mr.. Crowell, to whom
the work has heretofore been sub-let, states
that he has proposed TO do it ninety-three
cents on the dollar less than the Government
has heretofore paid.
The subject of changing the place for hold
ing the National Democratic Convention, is
still under consideration.
The National Executive Committee may be
convened next week, according TO present
information, to take such action as will quiet
| the public mind on the subject.
| The Senate Harper's Ferry Committee,
after examining several more witnesses, will
close its labors. Nothing Of special interest
| has been elected.

HoRRIBLE OUTRAGE UPoN A You've Wo-
MAE-RoRBERY AND OOEsrUPRATIoN.-0nT Tues
day of last week, q young woman, twenty
three years Of age, arrived in the city by the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad,
from Greensburg, Indiana, and was met ut
the depot by the driver Of ON Express wagon,
who agreed to carry her 70 the residence Of
her hiehde on glatk-street. -She took seat
in the vehicle, but the driver 4itsd d couple
of men to accompany them, and they drove
up the Deef Creek Valley. When they had
reached a secluded spot they took the girl
from the wagon and the entire party not only
violated her person in the most disgusting
and outrageous manner, but also robbed her
OF eleven dollars, all the money she had in the
world, and then left her, bruised, bleeding
and unconscious, upoh The grothd.
How long she lay there she does not know,
but finally recovering sufficiently TO walk,
she wandered about until at length she found
some persons, who directed her to the home
of her friends, where she arrived late in the
evening, half dead with the suffering she had
been compelled to undergo from this trio of
Torquins-"more than demons and less than
men,"
She related her story and the police being
apprised of the facts yesterday, arrested n
man named Joseph Stephens, and committed
him to the pearl-strcet Station-house, upon a
charge Of being implicated in this disgraceful
transaction.
Last evening the girl visited the station
and identified him as one of the men; and was
so positive in regard to it that there seems
to be little doubt of the fact that he is one OF
the parties who outraged her person.
We heartily hope the others may be dis
covered and brought to the punishment they
so much deserve; for death, although kind
ness to the girl, compared to so fiend-like an
act, would be much too lenient a sentence for
those who could be guilty of taking part
in il,

BURGLARY IN THE SEVENTEENTH WARD
The residence of man named Samuel II.
Boggs, located some place in the Seventeenth
Ward, was feloniously entered day or two
ago, and robbed of money to the amount of
S3j and two notes. one drawn by Joseph Hays
for Sl03 05, and the other by John T. Carman
for Sls3 %. The burglars effected an en-
trance by climbing into the second story VIM
dow from a shed in the rear of the building,
and found their booty in porte-monnaie
taken from the pocket of a pair Of pantaloons
belonging to one of the inmates of the room.
No opportunity occurred to mar the harmony
of the transaction, and it is quite possible the
scOundrels will never be detected.

EXCITEMENT on THIRD-STREET.-Cons
able excitement was created on Third-street
yesterday morning by a rumor to the effect
that the Bank-building, on the corner of Third
and Main, was momentarily expected to fall
Many of the occupants of the upper stories of
the house instantly removed to other locali-
ties, but it is quite likely that they had little
foundation for their fears.
1t is asserted that the building has been
settling for some time, and that the walls are
cracked in several places to a considerable
extent. What the truth is in regard to the
matter it is difficult to ascertain; but we are
inclined to the opinion that the memory OF
the late Sycamore-street tragedy made the
alarm greater than it would otherwise have
been.
A thorough examination of the building,
by competent engineers, would detect the
danger, if any exists, and, if there is none,
wouldg give the tenantsa confidence in its safety
and durability which never can he obtained in
any other way, and we hope such an investi-
cation may be speedily instituted.

FIRE LAST NIGHT-Loss S25,00O.-About
twelve o'clock last night fire broke out in
the residence ofThomas Straight, located on
Mt. Auburn, in First-ayenne, and near the
a large fve-story brick, occupied by Mr.. s.,
together with w. b. Hollister. How the fire
originated we could not learn, but before the
Fire Department reached the ground the
flames had extended to every part of the
house, and both it and the contents were in
ruins. Nothing, so far as we could ascertain,
was saved from the general confagration,
and the loss, although in consequence of the
lateness of the hour and the distance, we
have been unable to ascertain anything def
mite in regard to it, will not certainly be less
than 1926, 900.

MEETING OF THE MECHANICS INSTITUTE
Quite large meeting of the members of the
Mechanics Institute was held last evening at
their hall, on the corner of Sixth and Vine,
to consider the propriety of holding an Ex-
hibition during the present year. resolu-
ton had been offered at previous meeting to
the effect that the Annual Fair ofthe Society
be postponed in consequence of the antici-
pated Exhibition of the United States Agri-
cultural Society," which will probably be held
at or near Cincinnati.
Some of the members seemed to fear that
the two exhibitions would interfere with each
other, as they would be held ut the same time,
and to avoid this, and at the same time offer n
larger inducement to the National Society to
come to this city, this proposition was made.
1t was discussed at some length, pending
which, the meeting adjourned until last night.
President Wilstach occupied the Chair, and
stated the object of the meeting. Messrs.
Wilstach, (Mr. Smith occupying the Chair
Wiltsee, Caldwell, Latta and Others took part
in the discussion, which continued until a late
hour. After the matter had been fully can
yassed, at least verbally, substitute offered
by Mr.. Caldwell, to the effect that the Society
hold an Exhibition in accordance with it:
custom, was carried by an almost unanimous
vote, there being but one voice in the mega
tive.
Mr.. Caldwell then moved that committed
of thirteen be appointed to make the neces
sary arrangements for the annual Exhibition
and after the President had been authorized
TO name the members Of the Committee, tn
meeting adjourned.
