TIE SYSTEM OF HAlH1Nts
Special Dtspateh to The Chicago Tribune.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 26.-There was cau-
Gus Of Democratic Senators this afternoon to
consider the adylsabflity Of taking measures for
the maintenance Of quorum at all times Al
though the Democrats are now In the majority,
1t often happens, under the system OF pairs, that
members present cannot vote There was an
attempt made this afternoon to have the usage
as to pairs SO modified as to- permit members
present aud pufred to vote under certain cir
cumstanccs. Another question: broached was
the desirability of restoring the joint rules
which became null and void in 1876 by the failure
of the House to adopt them, rs had been the
usage at each session. The twenty-frst joint
rule is the one which regulates the action OF the
two Houses IN counting the Electoral votes, ana
the adyisAbity Of having some guide In this
cnse hus become manifest even to the Demo
Gratis in the Senate. The subject Of the joint
rules it was decided should be submitted 10 the
GOV. HoYTs CASE.
Privnte letters received here to day from
Cheyenne from gentlemen Of the algnest
personal character wcll-known In this CITY, give
Il full account Of the recent Infamous attack oy
Glafeke, the lately exposed Postmaster, upon
the private character Of Gov. Hoyt- These
gentlemen declare that they speak the m sentl- a.
when they say that the charges given sncn
wide circulation are utterly groundlcss, and that
man enjoys better reputatqnf fe nonG 4hSn MS
Hoyt The attack was a weak and wicked de-
vice to weaken his influence when the exposures
of Glafeke's course should be- made KNOWN to
the authorities in Washington.

Dir. Page opposed the bill US striking at LOT Of
the grent lines OF star service In the West, and
Representative Of the people Of that section he
protested against it. No member Of the Appro-
priation Committee who had spoken yesterday
mud led any member Of the House to believe that
there had been fraud committed in putting on
extra service on tho star routes.
Mr.. Page criticised the speech delivered by Mr
Hawlcy yesterday, in which he had stated that
the Postmaster-Ge General ought to be impeached
because he had violated the law.
Mr. Hawlcy-1 did not say TINT.
Mr. Puge-Tou said almost the same thing.
In conclusion, Mr.. Page appealed to his Re
publican colleagues, who had staid here for
three months fighting against riders upon ap-
preparation bills not to stultify themselves be-
fore the country by voting for this bill, which
usurped the powers Of the Executive branch Of

Fatal R,tndiUaN.

Major Donaldson was standing upon the
sidewalk before the Minnehaha carriage works,
speaking to Fl. L. Nichols. the superintendent
of that establishment, when his horse suddenly
became frightened and started off. The
Major sprang for tie reins and called on the
animal to whoa" but this
only frightened the creature more
and it sprang forward at terrific bound,
throwing the major TO the earth. 1t then
coursed down Second street with speed which
almost rooted the spectators to the ground and
made them hold their breath with fear The
horse and vehicle had not proceeded
more than half block before they became the
instruments of death to one of the most re-
spected of the liquor dealers in this city, MIR.
Grandstrand. He had at the time started to
cross the street and did not see the
runaway in time 10 get out
of the way, and when he observed it
tunately the horse suddenly turned aud made
for the Washington avenue corner. The wagon
swung around with terrific force,
striking GrandstraEd upon the side and
hip, and knocking him with great force
against lamp post, from which he fell back
on some large stones, whereby he received o
terrible wound upon the skull. The bruised
and pleading man was c2refllly lifted by
friends, taken to his home and DR.. Anes sum-
moned. 1t was found that the man had re-
ceived fatal injuries his left thigh hip and left
arm being broken. The scalp wound was five
Or six inches long and had evidently caused a
conclusion of the brain. 1t was also the opin-
ion that he had received serious internal in ju-
ries. DIR. Ames called Drs. Phillips and
Salisbury to his assistance and
everything possible was done for the suffering
man. After several hours of intense agony Au
gust Grandstrand breathed his last about l
o'clock, victim to his bravery.
The deceased was about thirty-hve years Of
age, and had been very unfortunate of late,
losing his wife last May, and his little
daughter in June. He also lost brother
by death eighteen months since. Mr..
Granstrend came from Sweden about ten years
ago and made his home in this city, He wasIa
member of the Knights of PYthias
and was connected with Scandlt
Lodge No. 6. He was very popular, nor
only among the Scandinavian portion of Que
citizens, but also with all who knew him. He
leaves brother and number of relatives t
mourn his sudden loss.
The horses and wagon which were the cause
of the sad occurance, didn't escape without in
Jury. The wagon was smashed against tine
sidewalk and fence on the opposite side of the
street and tho hsEse also received
some severe cuts. The sad affair
created much excitement among those who Wit
messed the runaway and caused much painful
comment and sympathy among our citizens
generally. The unfortunate affair commenced
and was over within two minutes and in the
brief period of time respected citizen rcceiv-
ed his death blow. 1t was undoubtedly the
shortest and sadest runaway, that to our knowl-
edge has ever occurred in this city.
