Perry Mccormick Killed.


Omaha, April 16.-Perry McCormick,
Of Sidney, a freighier, was shot three
times in this city last night by Mr.. and
Mrs. James Davis, keepers of second
hand store, with whom he had some
difficulty about cartridges he had
bought for his revolver. Mccormick
was found on the street near his hotel
early this morning, lying insensible,
with three bullet holes in him. He
will probably die, as he laid on the
ground all night, having fallen on the
way to his hotel. 1t is claimed by
Davis and his wife that they shot
him in -self-defense. They have been
released on bail.

The Gear Means Business.

st. Petersburg, April 16.-Replying
to the congratulatory addresses of the
marshal of nobility, the car to-day
said he wished, notwithstanding all
that happened, to continue to
act in accordance with the laws, but
the audacity of the recent attempts at
assassination forced him against his will
to take extraordinary measures, not for
himself, but for ail-for society and for
Russia.

Where is Mrs. Barrett,

New York, April 16.-An inquiry
was made last night at the house of
Mrs. Barrett, in Thirty-fourth street if
that lady had returned home. Miss
Jones, who receives all callers, told the
reporters that Mrs. Barrett was still ab-
sent, and that she did not know her
whereabouts, nor when she would re-
turn, if at all. She said: II never
knew that there was trouble between
Mrs. Barrett and w, as she called Mr..
Nathan. Why, he was here the very
night before the shooting, and they ap-
peared to be very friendly. She is not
here now, and don't believe she will
come back.

Lively Speeches by Several
Senators.
The Russian Gear Means
Business.
Foreign and Domestic News.
WASHINGTON.

sENATE-AFTERNOoN SESSION.
The senate resumed discussion of the
army appropriation bill.
Hoar, of Massachusetts,, said that
Beck had promised, but had entirely
failed to answer his argument. Nobody
charged that it was revolutionary to at
tach legislation to the appropriation
bills. 1t was the senator's assertion
that if the president failed to sign the
pending bill the government supplies
would be cut off. This was revolution
ary. Did Beck stand by that PROPOSE
tion?
Beck said he believed the president
would sign both of the bills in qucs-
tion.
Beck said the difficulty with Hoar's
speech simply was that it was not the
truth. He never said the democrats
would block the wheels of the govern
ment if the president vetoed the bill.
Hoar was trying to make false i'm
preston that he (Beck) had said he
would vote to refuse to pass the appro-
priation bill.
Hoar said he would not be diverted
from his point by plantation manners.
He restated the proposition announced
by Beck, and said that Thurman had
cencurred in it.
Dawes said the administration, be-
lieving the promise of the south, that
if left to itself, it would restore peace
and harmony and protect the negroes
in their rights, would be kept. They
had adopted new plan of reconcilia-
ton and reconstruction with what re-
sultP The south had broken its prom
Use, and the colored men had not sim
gle representative in the house to-day
where formerly they had several of
their own race.
At this stage, Wade Hampton, ap-
pearing on crutches, was sworn in with
modified oath.
Dawes, resuming, said his friendsSon
the other side ought not to prate about
the purity of the ballot box until it was
forgotten how 10000 republican voters
in the state of New York were wiped
= out in '6s, in accordance with circular
sent out beforehand in the name of
their chief, s. ]. Tilden, who after
wards did not know anything about it,
just as he does not know anything
about every other political iniquity
that had been transacted in his name.
At the close Of Dawes remarks a
lively passage took place between Blaine
and Eaton, in which the former quoted
speeches Of Webster's, in which he
said: "This not confederacy of states,
but a nation.'
Withers said he would ask the senate
to insist on longer daily sessions until
the army bill is disposed of, and stated it
was desired that a vote would be ar
rived at before the middle of next
week.
The senate then went into an exec
utive session and adjourned.

MORNING FIRES.
Five Small Dwellings Burned--Alarm from
Race and Third Streets.


At $40 o'clock this morning an alarm
was sounded from Box 5S, corner of Nc
Micken avenue and Elm street, caused by
the burning of some frame dwellings situa-
ted on top of the hill overlooking Browne
street, known as Jerusalem, nearly half a
mile from the box from which the alarm
was sent in. The various lines of hose
were connected, and with great deal of
work were carried up the almost perpen-
dicular HILL but by this time the fire,
which is supposed to have originated in the
residence OF Mr.. George Helm, black
smith, had spread to the houses of VIM.
Kartdeng, a tanner, John BundhoH, tan
ner, and John Cook, cart-driver.
With the exception of Cook, all the in
mates of the houses saved the greater por-
ton of their furniture, but the houses,
which were all insured, but would not be
assessed for more than $500 each, were al.
most entirely destroyed. The residence Of
Mrs. Greenwald was also damaged to a
small extent.
About the same time the Department
were called to the corner OF Race and Third
streets, where a fire, supposed to have
originated in Schad's saloon, was burning
in the rear Of the large wholesale block
The damage by fire was trifiiDg; but Buch

Here is story far funnier than most
of the anecdotes one finds under the cap
ton of nouvelles a la main in the Journal
Amusant or the Figaro. 1t is a story of
George Honey, the distinguished actor,
who, many years ago, while on tour in
the provinces, had taken lodgings in an
humble house. somewhat the worse for
wear. Soon after retiring he was
awakened by a futtering noise as of a
bird around the curtain of his bed. He
sprang up, struck light, and saw dark
little creature with wings futtering about
the room.
Not being we'll acquainted with
natural history, he did not recognize it
as bat, but determined to catch it, if
possible, and examine it carefully in the
morning. Taking up felt hat, he began
to hunt and tried to capture the intruder
for long time in vain, but at last he
pounced upon it, took it from the hat,
shut it up in drawer, listened to is
struggles to escape, wanting to be sure
that he had really caught it, and went
to bed dreaming of flying dragons. But
he was not destined to sleep long. Hardly
had he dozed off when further futter-
ing awakened him, and lighting another
match, he found another bat. After
this one he had another hunt, caught
it, put it in the drawer, with
its brother, and again went to bed
Again, however, he was awakened
in similar manner; bats came not
in single spies, buff the expression be
pardonablc-in "battalions." Mr.. Honey
hunted diligently, making quite colIec-
tion of specimens, and put them all with
great care in the drawer. Heated with
the chase, he then opened the window,
and tired out, at last enjoyed few min,
utes' sleep. Waking with the morr;:... a.
light, he jumped out ii ped and opened
| the drawer very cautiously to look fol
his bats, but, 10, and behold! there were
no bats there. He opened the drawer
wide, and then discovered that it had ne
back to it. He had, in fact, been passing
all his night in catching the same bat
which had flown cut at the back of thu
drawer as soon as he had put it in at thu
front, and when the window was openet
had finally escaped.
