WASHINGTON, May N.-The Joint
caucus committee of the Democratic
members of both houses was in secret
session until a late hour tonight.
The purpose for which the meeting
was called was stated to be to devise
measures for future action in view of
the Presidents veto of the legislative
bill, which contained the last proposed
legislation of a political character.
1t will be remembered that the Joint
caucus committee was appointed to
facilitate business mapped out by
the joint caucus of the senators and
representatives held in the early
part Of the extra session, and this
business was TO prepare the political
amendments for the army and legisla-
tive bills. Anticipating the veto, the
committee was called together to talk
over any propositions bearing upon
the object for which the committee
was originally appointed. The propo.
sitions stated were whether the politi,
cal riders should be separated from
the appropriation bills and made sep
arate bills or whether the appro-
priation bills should be renewed.
with proyisos after the different
clauses prohibiting the expenditure
of money for the transportation of
the army to places of election, and
for employing deputy marshals for
election purposes and giving super
Vlsors of election authority to incur
expenses on account of elections. A
third proposition was whether the
appropriation bills should be reported
without political riders or restrictive
clauses, and so hasten the adjourn
ment OF congress. 1t is contended by
some Democrats that, as the Presi-
dents objections to the appropriation
bills had been that they contained
legislation which was contrary to the
spirit of the administration of
the government. the Objectionable
clauses it made separate measures
would also be vetoed. Hence if re-
strictive provisions were inserted in
the bills the President could not com.
plain, as it was invariably the custom
for congress to define explicitly for
what objects money appropriated
should be used. 1t was commended
that TO pass the appropriation bills
with such restrictions would accom-
plish, at least for a time, the object
defined by the joint caucus and leave
for a future session the responsibility
OF making the repeal of the objection
able clauses Of the revised statutes

Queer DoIngs for a Cent.

Pittsburg Telegraph
The interesting story which was
supposed at the time to have been
connected with the attempt of a young
lady to jump into the river from the
railing Of the Hand street bridge last
Wednesday night came out this norm
ing, aud certainly presents a queer
commentary on the credulity OF toll
keepers and policemen. 1t will prob.
ably be recollected that the Young
lady passed out on the bridge and was
soon after followed by a young man.
who, IN the most excited name
stated to the toll-keeper and police,
man that she was bent on suicide. He
then hurriedly went to the rescue. lt
seems that the young gentleman and
lady were in company, aud were on the
way to their home in Allegheny, when.
as they were nearing the bridge, the
escort found hat he was without the
penny with which to pay the Necessary
toll. This was certainly a ridiculous
position to be in, but as the young man
AANAN
was upon very familiar terms with his
companion he did not hesitate to tell
her the cause of his perplexity. Then
the young lady stated that she, alas.
was in the same position, having lett
her purse at home. What they were
to 10 under the circumstances was
discussed for a moment, and then
with ready wit the young man sug.
gested the suicide experiment, trust
ing hat under the excitement of the
moment nothing would be thought
about the toll. The young lady agreed
to the proposal at once. The attempt
was made, the oll-keeper and police
man were startled beyond expression
the morning papers were furnished
with a sensation, but the young man
and his devoted companion passed
over the bridge.

OHIO CRIME.
Eleanora Aliens Story Of the killing
Of Captain Heel.

The tragedy at Waynesville, Ohio,
last week has become more interesting
from the growing opinion that Captain
Hoel was killed by the seducer of his
wife, and not by the pistol in his own
hands. A telegram to the Cincinnati
Commercial says:
In an interview with Eleanora Allen
this morning, she told the story con
corning the tragedy, apparently
straightly, and with no breaks or hesi-
%tation, and her manner impressed one
with the idea that she was telling the
truth. On the day of the shooting,
she says, she was at "Kildere Villa
and the captain requested her to look
through sundry holes that he had
bored in the door leading from Captain
Hoels private room into tAe parlor.
She got up on a stool and looked, and
saw Mrs. Hoel sitting on the lap of
DR.. Hough. DR.. Hough had his arm
around the lady's waist, and she
had both her arms around his
neck. At the time she looked
they had their lips together
and were kissing each other. They
were embracing very closely. At that
moment Captain Hoel told her he had
seen enough, and opened the door
(Which was not locked). He had a
revolver in his hand, which he dis
played, and as 0 0 as DR.. Hough saw
this he fell on his knees, exclaiming /:
" For Gods sake, captain, don't shoot
me Captain Hoel exclaimed /:
Keep on your knees, you cur" OF
some such expression, and then walked
twice around him, as if debating
whether or not to kill him. Finally
he elevated his pistol, the report was
heard, and the blood from DR.. Hough's
wound was ~spattered all over the back
parlor. After the scufle had sub
sided, and Captain Hoel had received.
his death wound, he exclaimed, I'm
shot, and Immediately expired. The
girl went back in the room, and re-
manned about one minute. She rang
the dinner bell that summoned Woode-.
man, the hired man, to the house.

than the offer he had accepted. A

bargain and accepting the dates, but
DR.. Talmage closed up an arrange.

back to Leeds that he must recall his
first acceptance and decline their
offer. Accordingly Mr.. Pond sailed
