Peter Brien, the alleged murderer Of
Thomas Hughes, near Pittsburg, ,is supposed
to be wandering In the labyrinths Of Hart

contains an area OF $50 acres, and as the
fugitive is thoroughly familiar with all It's
chambers, he can bid defiance to his pur-
suers as long as his supply of food holds
out. Officers are guarding the entrance.

the first day of January last there was a
deficit, arising from expenditures In
construction, etc, Of $550,O0O, and in
view Of this deficit the directors decided
it as inexpedient to take action upon the
question Of dividend before the next
quarterly meeting, and adopted resolu-
tions to that effect. t

at once summoned, and for ten minutes
business was suspended, while the
greatest excitement prevailed upon the
floor and in the galleries, which were
much crowded. The rule OF discharge
was then made.
Mr.. Knott, OF Kentucky, from the
committee on Judiciary, submitteda q re-
port which stated that in accordance
with the order Of the House, the com
cles Of impeachment against w. w. Bel
knap, ex-Secrctary Of War for high
crimes and misdemeanors, but since the
reference OF the matter the committee
have been informed and believe that
Caleb p. Marsh, the principal witness
| in the case, had gone beyond the juris-
diction or the Government OF the United
States.
Mr.. Blaine now took the floor, and
said Mr. Randall wanted to know how
he (Blaine) knew that Marsh had left on
the mid day train on Thursday. He
knew 1t because he had the curiosity to
that he left at / 80 on that day; and II
Marsh read ut all the mythical charge
that the Cabinet had ordered his
prosecution, he read IT in n
Montreal paper of that day.
He was also authorized to say that the
Cabinet had issued no instructions for
the prosecution of Marsh. II anyone
says, therefore, that the Executive De-
partment tried to frighten Marsh away,
he says that which has no foundation In
fact. He reiterated what he said yester-
day that the simple failure Of the com
!nittee to discharge Marsh would have
kept him here. Very few men In
this country would have the
nerve to leave after the House
had ordered them to stay, and the gem
tleman from Pennsylvania Mr.. Clymer)
must accept the responsibility OF a
grave mistake In discharging this man
It was asserted yesterday that the
House should itself have ordered
Marsh g retention. But what could the
House do? When the report Of the
War Expenditures COMMITTEES was
made to the House Marsh was
ton, and not in this jurisdiction.
But all the bills OF exemption that can
be passed will not get him.
1t was asserted yesterday that the ob,
ject OF sending the case TO the grand
Jury was to prevent the impeachment OF
the late Secretary. The dignity of the
realm was said to be assailed and the
dignity OF the realm was to be vindi-
Gated, and now the Judiciary Committee
comes, and 1t says they cannot impeach
because they have not sufficient evi-
dence. The other side say they cant
indict, and they say they can't impeach.
Mr.. Lawrence, OF Ohio, argued that 1t
was the duty OF the House to secure
both impeachment and Indictment. He
believed that the two bills reported
would have q favorable effect, for while
the one would protect the witnesses,
the other would punish those who will
fully ran away. The bill then passed
by yeas 2O6, nays 80.
Mr.. Phelps, OF Connecticut, was ap-
pointed a member OF the committee on
the st. Louis whisky trial, vice Mr.. Har
ris, declined. The House then, at 6 p. m.
adjourned.

ST.. CHARLES THEATRE - The Wallace
Sisters. This talented combination ap-
peared before fair and fashionable audi
ences on Yesterday afternoon and even
ing, repeating their favorite sensation OF
''Minnie's Luck, or the Ups and Downs

of superior excellence. The drama itself
is of a sensational yet domestic nature
which appeals directly to the sympathies
Of the auditors, who, becoming enwrapt
with the varied episodes OF the story,
new development until the happy cul
mination is achieved, and the curtain
falls upon the last act. The fair Miss
Jennie, in her impersonation Of the hero
inc, fairly outdid herself by the happy
and Truthful manner in which she por-
trayed the various phases Of character
to which the prosecuted Minnie Book is
subjected. Her versatility in the en-
bodiment OF antagonistic situations as
"the poor street singer" and as "the
Fifth Avenue BELLE" gives her rank
amongst our best leading actresses. She
was ably supported by the little sisters
Minnie and Maud in the respective char
acters of Haky Dick and Cleopatra, a col
ored nurse their song. and dance, and
double clog dance fairly bringing down
q
tions OF applause. The assistance given
by the stock company was excellent and
altogether the performance was exceed
ingly meritorious. ..H e.u,. hue
Tonight they will present for the first
time the romantic drama OF "Jacquette,
or in the Tolls" with the fascinating
Miss Jennie as the heroine. Our thea
tre-goers should certainly not miss the
dramatic treat and triumph which we
anticipate.

Michael Edwards, ST., who Is mem
OF York, is the Oldest living fireman in
the world, having reached the age OF
nearly 1OJ years. He was born at York
town (now York; on the 12th Of August,
1767, and remained there until 1901, when
he removed to Washington county. He
was married in 1905 to q lady nineteen
years hisjunior. In 1896 he changed his
residence'to Moundville, West Virginia,
where he still lives. Mr.. Edwards is a
gunsmith and worked at the trade until
he was ninety years old. The father OF
the veteran went into the Revolutionary
war when Michael was eight years old.
Mr.. Edwards saw the shooting OF six
American soldiers during the Revolution
cavalrymen, both experts in fenc
ing. The men meeting on horse
back fought desperate, and one
of them struck the. other across the
neck, killing him instantly. Mr.. 4.
was among those called out by Wash
ington to put down the whisky rebellion,
and remembered distinctly when the
news Of the Declaration OF Independ
ence was brought to York, and heard
General Washington make speech, In
which the following remarks were made:
''There is likely to be some time In the
future war caused by the oftice-seek-
ers that would be worse than the revolu-
ton"
Mr.. Edwards cast hts first vote for
General Washington for President. In
1870 the centenarian visited the York
county fair and received an ovation from
the citizens. Mr.. Edwards has been a
member Of the Laurel company since
1890. He expresses q strong desire to
visit the Centennial and should his
health, which is failing, permit, he will
accompany his old fire company to the
