Senate


HARRIsBURG, March 29.-The appropriation
bill was called up, when Mr.. Randall rose to a
personal explanation. He denied knowing any
thing of the passage of the bill relating to the
appointment of a collector of delinquent taxes
by the Receiver of Taxes, and doubted that
such bill had passed the Senate. He then read
a bill repeating that act.
Speaker-Will the Senate give their unani-
nous consent to consider the bill?
Mr.. Connell-No, 1 object; the bill was regu-
larly before the Senate.
Mr.. Randall-The bill never passed the Senate
in its present shape. - .
Mr.. Connell-It did. ..... ......
Mr.. Randall-It is understood the Philadel-
phia Senators object to repeating the act. I
move to suspend the orders to take up the bill.
Mr.. Connell-I object ..
The bill was then referred to the city Senators.
Mr.. Connell offered a resolution to recall from
the Governor bill aeaning cnarltaple or
ganizations to be those whose corporators re-
ceive no profits. .t
Ruled out of order on account of Appropria-
tion bill pending. (This is the bill alleged to
affect the Philadelphia Savings Fund Company

Dining Over n yoIcano----The House of the Bel
Rian Consul Blown Up with Gunpowder.
The Belgian Consul at San Francisco has
secret and inveterate enemies in that city, who
last week attempted to take his life. Several
gentlemen were dining with him, and after din
ner they passed out in body to a rear house,
and as they went out they heard terrific explo-
sion. ...
They waited, startled, and even terrified but
all was still after the report. They finally ven
tured back into the house, and found that in the
dining-room the table had been hurled from the
position it had occupied, while everything on it
and around it was utterly destroyed. In the
parlor all the furniture was demolished utterly,
the floor torn I'm rieees, all the glass in the win
dows, as well as in the windows of the adjoining
houses, broken. ......... .,.r. SAT-
An iron powder canister was found imbedded
in the floor of the parlor The canister would
hold about ten pounds. II had been split and
torn by the explosion. Beneath the floor marks
OF hands and feet were observed, bits of n fuse,
and a quantity of half-burned paper. 1t had
evidently been intended to blow up the whole
house while the Consul and his dinner party
were at the table. . .... ..

shown me as much courtesy as prison discipline
will allow, prompts me to this action. Wearied
almost beyond endurance by long confinement,

tinued and unnecessary delay in bringing my
case properly before the courts of the country, l
was possessed of an ungOvernable desire to
breathe once more the air of freedom. 1t was
always my intention to return at the proper time
and stand nay trial. If have violated any law
of the land will not shirk punishment, and

MIR. DICKENS FAREWELL READING.
''Vanishing from the GarIsh Lights for Ever


From, the London Daily Telegraph, March 16.
With the christmas Carol" and ''The Trial
from Piekwick" Mr.. Charles Dickens last even
ing brought to brilliant close the memorable
series of public readings which have for fifteen
years proved to audiences unexampled in num-
bers the source of the highest intellectual enjoy
ment Every portion of available space in the
building was, of course, last night occupied
some time before the appointed hour; but could
the st. James Hall have been specially enlarged
for the occasion to the dimensions of Salisbury
Plain, it is doubtful whether sufficient room
would even then have been provided for all anx-
ious to seize the last chance of hearing the dis
tnguished novelist give his own Interpretation
of the characters called into existence by his
own creative pei.
After the "Trial from Pickwick," in which
the speeches of the opposing counsel and the
owlish gravity of the judge seemed to be de-
livered and depicted with greater dramatic
power than ever, the applause of the audience
rang for several minutes through the hall, and
when it had subsidized Mr.. Charles Dickens, with
evidently strong emotion, but in his usual dis
tinct and expressive manner spoke as follows:-
Ladies and Gentemen:-It would be worse than
1dle-for 1t would be hypocriticSl and unfeeling-n
/ were to disguise that | close this episode in my
life with feelings of very considerable pain. For
some fifteen years, in this hall and in many kindred
places, have had the honor of presenting my own
cherished ideas before you for J our Tecoglition.

always imbued with sense OF duty to them,

support. Nevertheless l have thought it well, at
the full flood tide OF your favor to retire upon those
older associations between us, which dats from

gentlemen, in but two short weeks from this time
hope that you may enter, in your own houses, on a
new Series Of Readings" at which my assistance
will be Indispensable but from these garish lights
vanish for evermore, with heartfelt, grateful
respectful, and alfectionate farewell.
Thus closed an evening which will be long
borne in recollection by those who had the good
fortune to be present. Amidst repeated accla-
nations of the most enthusiastic description,
whilst hats and handkerchiefs were waving in
every part of the hall, Mr. Dickens retired, with
drawing with him one of the greatest intellec-
tual treats the public ever enioyed

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Child Cut to Pieces the Fort Wayne
Railroad.

The Pittsburg Commercial of March 80 says:
Yesterday afternoon, about o'clock, Daniel
Whaen, about ten years of age, son of William
Whalen, who resides at No. 8 Fayette street,
Pittsburg, met his death in the following
manner:-In company with two other lads, re-
siding in Pittsburg, young Whalen got aboard of
the number three express train, bound west in
Pittsburg.
From the statements of his companions, it
seems it was the intention of the lads to ride to
the outer depot in Allegheny, where they pro-
posed to get off, and take the first train back to
the city. At the outer depot, Whalen's COM
prospect of the checking up of the train jumped
off. Young Whalen, who stood on the platform
of the first car, also attempted to jump Off but
it appears that he became frightened, changed
his mind at the last moment and clutched at
the railing, where he hung for moment ortwo,
then suddenly dropped to the ground. Before
the train could be checked, the second car
passed over his body, cutting it fairly in two.
Death, of course, was instantaneous. His re-
mains were Immediately removed to the round
house near by and word conveyed to his brother,
who Immediately made arrangements to have
them removed to Mr.. Rodney's undertaking
establishment on Ohio street. where they will be
coffHed, and conveyed to the residence of his
parents to-day.
From all the facts that came into our possess
sion, it seems that those having charge of the
train were in no manner responsible for the sad
accident which carries gloom to the lads home.
The practice of riding from the city out to the
depot and back again is one that is indulged in
by lads despite all the warnings of the engineers
and brakemen. Young Whaens death furnishes
another example to the venturesome lads who
indulge in this dangerous practice.
