ment. This committee will consist OF
His Eminence Cardinal McCloskey,
Most Rev. ]. ]. Williams, Archbishop
OF Boston, and Very Rev. VIM. Quinn,
Vicar-General of New York.
As substantial proofof the earnestness
OF the assembled prelates, list was
at once made out of the amounts which
they personally pledge themselves te
contribute in annual installments dur
ing five years. The amounts pledged
bv the prelates is $4,000, and the list Is
headed by Cardinal McCioskey and
Archbishops Gibbons and Williams,
with subscriptions of 81 200. This sim
pie statement OF facts we now present
with the firm assurance that the sympa-
thy for the venerable and afflicted
Archbishop of Cincinnati which fills our
hearts will be fully shared by all the
hierarchy, the clergy and the people oil
the Catholic Church throughout the en-
tire country, and that the practical
measures resolved on and inaugurated
be heartily received and carried out ey-.
eryWhere. The NEST reverend ana
right reverend prelates OF the country,
not present at the meeting in New
York, are respectfully and earnestly re-
uuested to signify to His Eminence
Cardinal McCloskey, their Willingness
to Join in this united action; and to the
reverend clergy and faithful people
throughout the United States We now
Jointly address an eXhOrtation which
we will urge on them in our respective
dioceses, that they enter with great
heart and a willing mind into this noble
work of charity, and that they share no
effort and stop at no sacrifice that may
aid to its success. While again, de-
claring that it is no obligation of justice
that we shall thus fulfil, we do not for
get how sacred are the demands OF fra
ternal sympathy and charity in
times of need. They have
never been thus far appealed
to in vain, and we doubt not that the
special greatness of the present need
will call forth special manifestation OF
Chrstion beneticience which will give
edifcation to all men and glory to the
father of mercies, besides pouring balm
into the bruised heart OF the venerable
prelate, who, during the nearly fifty
years of his espiscopal career in our
midst, has won for himself the admira-
ton and affection of all by the saintli-
ness of his life and the self-sacrifcing de-
votedncss of his zeal. May it be our
happiness to bring gconsolation and peace
to the last days of his earthly sojourn.
Signed, in behalf of the assembled pre-
lates and at their request.

HOUSE.

The bill for asCertainIng the result OF
Presidential elections was reported
from the committee having the subject
i'm charge. Ordered printed and recon-
mjttcd.
The House then engaged in the busl-
ness of the morning hour, the bill rela-
tive 10 the removal OF causes from State
To Federal courts. The Republicans re-
fusing 20 vote the House was without a
quorum, and a call OF the House was or
drrcG.
The morning hour was used up by
dilatorv motions without any advance
being made on the bill.
Mr.. Springer sent to the clerks desk
a proposition to amend the rules: First,
bv referring 10 the Committee of the
Whole any pending measure reported IN
the morning hour but not disposed OF;
and, second, that when question has
not bot been voted upon, the Speaker
shall count the House and il there be a
quorum present, business shall proceed
the same as if a quorum had voted.
Mr.. CSnger objected 10 the proposl-
ton being either received or read, and
the Republicans under his lead again,
reSorted % dilatory tactics.
At2 O'Clock Mr.. Hunton claimed the
floor ior the Committee on District OF
Columbia.
The Speaker stated that the subject
would again come up whenever the
District business was disposed OF.
The House then proceeded to the con-
sideration of District business.
Mr.. Sanford reported a bill authoriz-
inc the Commissioners OF the District OF
Columbia to issue twenty year per
cent bonds to an amount not more than
81 200. 900, TO redeem certain funded IN
debtedneSs of the District.
Mr.. Mcmillan offered an amendment
providing that nothing in the act shall
bc construed 10 make the United States
government liable for either the prinCl-
pal or interest Of the bonds or any part
thereof. The amendment was adopted
and the bill as amended passed.
f. Wood, OF New York, rising to a
question of privilege, said he desired to
report, from the Committee on Ways
and Means, 4 resolution fixing the date
of the final adjournment OF Congress.
MeSSrs. McMahOn and Cox argued
that the resolution could not be AL
mlttcd while the business from the Com
mittee on the District OF Columbia was
i'm order, the latter remarking that he
was not in hurry to adjourn anyhow.
The Speaker pro tenn. Springer ruled
that the District business could no, be
interrupted, and declined to admit the
resolution.
Some further District business was
transacted and the House adjourned.

CHARLESTON, w. VA.
A Speck of War.

CHARLESTON, May 27.-Swinburn, the
contestant Tor the Clerkship, appeared
in Court to-day and demanded Judge
Smith to recognize him, which he re-
fused TO do. The Supreme Court re-
manded the case back TO the County
Court, deciding that the Circuit Court
did not have jurisdiction. Swinburn
burn therefore demanded the office.
Tomorrow is set to argue the motion.
Swinburn's father informed reporter
that if the Court refused to recognize his
son. that the people would put him in
any way. We suppose he means the
Greenbackers will take the office by
force and install their candi-
date to which Judge Smith says
he will at once adjourn Court and
call on the Governor for troops. The
sentiments of the Grcenbackers who
assembled here were 10 induct Swim
burn in the office and then let the pres
cnt incumbent fight for his rights.
CITY Marshal ClemOns run in two
strangers on suspicion, this morning
and on their persons was found a
ring worth 500, four plain gold rings,
a $50 hunting case gold watch, a re-
volver, several diamond shirt studs and
$50 in money. Captain Campbell, Of
the indianapolis police force, came
dewn this evening and identified them
as two notorious Chicago crooks, who
were here evidently to work the town.

RAILWAY MATTERS.
Injunction Asked.

PITTSBURGH, May 2S.---In the United
States Circuit Court the arguments in
the case of the Central Railroad Com
pany, of y. Y, VS. the Junction Railroad
Company and Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, are being heard by Judge
McKennan. The Junction railroad con-
meets with the Philadelphia and Reading
road at Belmont, and with the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad at Gray'S Ferry. The
Baltimore and Ohio Company have pro
posed to send their cars over the june
ton road to reach New York. The North
PENNSYLVANIA, Delaware and Jersey
Central Railroad Company propose to
DO a similar business over the Junction
road, but the Pennsylvania railroad
refuse to allow the cars to pass through
their yard, in which half mile OF the
Junction track lies. This action is
brought to restrain the defendants from
interference.

600 year, and in enhancing the national

Republicans of Ohio, and deserves the

WADESVILLE.
Outrageous Attempt at Arson.


PARKERsBURG, May 27--An outrageous
attempt at incendiarism occurred in the
lower end of this county few nights
ago. DR.. Curtis lives in the town Of
Wadesville, and some time during the
night the inmates of the house were
awakened-some say by the noise, 9th
crs by the smell of smoke entering their
rooms. They sprang from their beds,
and, ea deshabWe, made their way to the
outer air, to find the house just com
mencing to blaze up at one corner.
When the family got out of the house
they noticed three men running
rapidly for the woods, one OF
whom in particular was noticed as
being very large man, but in the con-
fusion no chase was made after them
until some time had elapsed, and then
they had disappeared, and no trace has
vet been found of them. The fire was
extinguished before much damage was
done. If the inmates had not been
awakened until few minutes later the
whole building would have been in
flames and the family burned to death.
Search is being made for the scoundreIs,
but with little hope of finding them.
No reason for this murderous act can
be given. as the Doctor is said TO be a
verv popular man in the community,
and is not known to have an enemy in
the country.
