MISS CLAXTON'S PREMONITlON.

a Sun reporter yesterday morning
visited the Merchants Hotel ,on Court
lnndt street, where he met a we'll
known physician OF New Brunswick,
n. J. In the conversation that ensued
the name of Miss Claxton was montiOn-
ed, and the doctor said:
"I have known Miss ClaxtOn from
her earliest childhood, and ] was also
an intimate friend of her father.
have always regarded her rs woman
Of extraordinary nerve, courage and
perseverance. As soon as she made her
great success in tho 'Two Orphans L
did all in my power to pursuade her
to create Il version Of the play I'm Ger
man, in which language she is very
| proficient, and carry 1t to Cincinnati,
st. Louis, Milwaukee and other cities
containing n large number Of German
t.,'.s' trTcs She would mako com
pete success. After tho terrible Are
in brooklyn, from which she M mar.
J rowly escaped Il noticed a great cha o.,
IN Miss Claxton. The dreadful scene
enacted IN her presence that night, and
inc details OF tho disaster as they were
subsequently carried to her, shocked
ncr nervous system to such an extent
, that i am doubtful whether slle will
ever wholly recover from it. Indeed.
she seems to have Il premonition that
'shc is to be burned up. All her friends
nave tried, and are now trying to dis
I"ugc the idea from her mind, but In
vain. have heard her say, that
'FIrc and flame will always follow me.
and my life will be yielded up in =
tragedy more terrific than any ewes
have witnessed on tho stage"
At tho very instant the doctor pro.

HOW THE HOUSE WAS ORGANIZED
AND MAY AGAIN.
IN. Y. Tribune.l


The possibility that Clerk Adams
may assume extraordinary powers in
making up the roll OF the next House
brings the following interesting bit OF
history to the recollection OF the Wash.
ington correspondent Of the Boston
Journal: elm 1889 Hugh A. Garland.
tho Clerk of the former House, UNDER
took to set himself up as one having
authority and to decide that in . con.
tested case he would not call the names
Of either party. An angry and disor-
derly debate ensuetl and was continued
for several days, when Representative
John Quincy Adams insisted ON being
heard. 1T was not my iutention,.
said Mr.. Adams, sto take any part In
these extraordinary proceedingo. I
had hoped that this House would sue
coed In organizing itself, that Speaker
and Clerk would be elected, and that
the ordinary business Of legislation
would be allowed to commence. This
Is not the time nor tho place to discuss
the conflicting claimants for seats; but
why do we thus degrade ourselves, our
constituent, and the countrys We do
not, cannot organize; and why? Be-
cause the clerk of this House, the mere
clerk, who we create, whom we employ
and whose existence depends on our
will, usurps the throne and sets us, the
vicegerents of the whole American
people, ut defiance and holds US in con.
tempt. And what Is this clerk? Ia no
to control the destinies Of sixteen mill
lions of freemen? Is he tOsuspend by his
mere negative the functions OF govern
n,ent, and put an end to this Congress ::
He refuses to call tho names which
should bc on tho roll. It il In your
power to compel him to call 1t II he win
not do 1t voluntarily Here Mr..
Adams was interrupted by statement
from II Democratic Representative that
Mr.. Garland would resign rather than
call the vote of Now Jersey. This
reused tho old man eloquent, whose
bald head became scarlet AS he said:
sWcll, let him resign, and we may
possibly discover some way by which
VIC can get along without tho aid of his
powerful talent, learning aud genius.
If we connot organize In any other way
If this clerk will not consent to our
discharging the trusts cOnflded to US
by our constitutions then let US iml-
tate the example OF Virginia in tho
House of Burgesses, which, when Dln-
widdie ordered 1t to disperse, refused to
obey the insulting mRndate.' Mr..
Adams then submitted motion requir-
ing the acting clerk to call the roll or
all having certificates. Mr.. Clerk Gar
land refused to entertain tho motion.
'Then, exclaimed Mr.. Adams, Il will
put tho question myself Representa-
tive Barnwell Rhett here sprang to tho
floor and moved that Mr.. John Quincy
Adams, of Massachusetts,, should take
the Speakers chair and preside until
the House should be constitutionally
organized, put the question, and declar-
ed il carried. Mr.. Adams took tho
chair, and Mr.. Clerk Garland had to
| stand one side" Should Clerk Adams
endeavor to make II "bigHer man. OF
himself he may find his game blocked
by a second John Quincy Adams.
