Difficulty in Agreeing on n Plan OF
Action for Them-How Gen. Ewing Has,
Through Prosperity, Ceased 10 be n
Greenbaeker.
WASHINGTON, March SO.-The Commit.
tee on Banking and Currency has been
engaged during several recentmeetings in
discussion in an informal way questions
that will have to be considered by the
next Congress in connection with the ex-
piraton Of charters OF national banks.
Although some half dozen bills have
been introduced and referred to the COM
mittee, looking to refusal to renew these
charters when they expire, 1t Is not likely
that the committee will report to Con-
gress this session any OF the measures be-
fore it. The committee, however, is de-
cidedly an anti.bank committee, but there
are as many different opinions with re.
gard TO the proper way OF dealing with the
question as there are members, SO that it
would be extremely difficult to come
to an agreement on the details OF any
measure.
The notable feature OF the discussions
that have taken place is the newly devel-
oped conservatism OF Gen. Ewing. His
financial affairs are reported not to be in
the desperate condition they were while
ago, and with his personal prosperity has
come great change in his theories OF the
amount and kind Of currency required for
the public good. Heis sreported TO be now
one Of the most conservative members OF
the committee, and does excellent service
in combating the notions Of which he
was not long ago an ardent champion.
Gen. Ewing is not in his seat in the House
much OF the time, but Is in New York,
looking after his large and prosperous IN
yestments. Everybody Is gratited at his
good fortune, except perhaps, few oil the
Greenbackers, who have no similar good
reason for abandoning their absurd tinan-
cial theories.

Accidental Death OF Enoch Moslander,
Near MoundsyiiIe, w. Va.

/ henr mOunustile,W w. Va.
MouxDyILIE, March 81.
Special Correspondence Of the IntelllEuueer.
Jerry Grow came to town this morning
and reported to Justice G. W. Evans that
Mr.. Moslander was lying dead on the
floor Of his house. whereupon the said
Justice with the assistance Of Deputy
Sheriff Dorsey summoned q coroner's
jury, also DR.. G. W. Bruce, and repaired
to the scene Of the supposed murder.
Upon arriving at the house an entrance
was effected by prying the front door, and
there upon the oaken floor, in alittle dark
dingy room, was presented the most
ghastly and horrifying object that We have
ever gazed upon. Just inside the door,
stretched at full length, clothing all burn
ed of and the flesh crisped and blackened
was found the dead body OF Enoch Mos
lander. There were evidences OF strug-
gle, as the place between the fireplace
(wood hre) was covered and blackened
with the ashes OF the burned clothing. |
The Jury was impannelled, and with the |
Aiu Vi LIZ DEuC6 Llhu0 u k1plO9bh GAnA-
ination OF the body and premises. After
two hours OF examination and delibera-
ton the jury decided that Enoch Mos
lander, the deceased, had come to his
death by accidental burning from wood
frein his house on the night Of March 80,
1880.
Mr.. Moslander lived on what is known
as Little Grave creek, about five miles
from Moundsyille. He was o bachelor
and was about n years Of age, and had
lived solitary and alone for great many
years, having but little communication
with the outside world. By habits Of in.
1ustry aud frugality he had accumulated
considerable wealth, always acting as his
own banker. He was pounced upon and
robbed some years ago at this same place,
hence this first impression Of foul play;
but the examination OF the premises
showed that nothing had been disturbed.
The theory advanced was that he had
tsllen off his chair into the fire, and being
lged and weak was unable to help himself
and had inhaled the flame, and died in the
above described.

The Strike In the Harmony Mills.
Troy, N. Y, March Sl.-The strike in
the Harmony Mills at Cohoes continues,
and the weayers have resolved not to re.
sumo work until the demands of the spin
ners are granted. One weeks idleness
makes wages loss Of $50, 900. The weay-
ers at work were stoned last night while
returning home. This morning about 800
weayers were in the mills and ], 800 looms
in operation. The filling on band will
keep that number OF looms going for q
week, when, II the strikers have not re.
turned, there will be lockout, and the
mills will only be re-opened as the men
nresent Themselves for work.

The Significance or the Recent Decision
v In Illinois.
NEw York, March 3l.-The temporary
Injunction granted at Chicago in favor Of
the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Com
pany against the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company applies, as the Judge ex-
pressly held, only to the wires in the
State Of Illinois, which is matter Of one
wire for distance OF twenty or thirty
miles only. Fortunately the baltimore
and Ohio Company has recently strung
new wires upon It's line In Illinois, and
will therefore suffer no Inconvenience ey
the granting OF this temporary order IN
ne case there. This case was the tourth
similar one brought by the same plaintiff
against the defendant, viz: in New YORK,
District OF Columbia, Ohio and Illinois
The three former, and 70 the defendants,
most important cases, were each uniform

FRANCE,

LONDON, March sl.-The Religious As
sociatiOn Of France will probably contest
in the courts the legality Of the DEGREES
OF the government against unauthorized
religious societies, on the gtound that the
laws they are based on are obsolete. The
Union, Count De eChamboard' sorgan, Moddt,
organ Of the Papal Nuncio, and Unirers,
Ultramontane are greatly exasperated, and
declare that the Catholics will vigorously
resist the enforcement OF the DEGREES. The
Pays, Paul De Cassignac's paper, says the
DEGREES are only preliminary to the re.
establishment OF the guillotine for political
adversaries; while the 0dre and Libets,
also Bonapartist, admit the legality Of the
DEGREES. ----.

THE TARIFF QUESTIONS.
Strong Probabilities that There Will be
No Changes Made This session.

WASHINGTON, March sO.-seyeral mem
bers of the Ways and Means Committee
express the opinion that the tariff bill
agreed to by the Ways and Means Com.
mittee to-day will not pass. 1t appears to
have been the result Of considerable log.
rolling, and it is believed that it is now SO
loaded down as to excite great opposition.
There was strong effort made
to have the question OF paper con.
sidered as a measure by itself, but the
friends OF other articles and those who
wished to defeat the whole bill voted to
put paperin with the rest.
The opinion is general that no change
in the tariff will be consumated. There
will, however, be a strong support for the
proposition 70 appoint q commission TO sit
during the coming recess and report on
the question Of revision next session.

Special Correspondence Of the Intell'seneer
The work OF the present Congress is
running rapidly to claims. AT least two
thirds OF all the bills introduced are for
claims Of a private character. In order
that the extent Of the claim business which
occupies the attention Of Congress may be
understood 1t is only necessary to call at
tention to the fact, that up to the present
time $40 bills have been referred during
this Congress to the Committee on Claims,
over $500 to the Committee on Invalid
Pensions and L, ,269 to the Committee on
War Claims. Many Of these latter are
from the Treasury Department and from

HOSTILE REDSKINS.
Troubles on the KeOgh ROute---Pale
Face Mule Charmers, Etc.


Sergeant Deveron, F. Co. 18th cavalry,
while on scouting expedition with eight
men and an Indian scout, encountered
five hostile Sioux ten miles east of Pen.
nell's station on Cabin Creek. Shots
were exchanged, resulting in two Of the
Indians making sudden acquaintance
with the happy hunting grounds The
remainder fled, leaving behind seven
ponies, which the Sergeant brought into
Major Merrill's command. Along the
entire route of the Keogh line from Beav-
er station to OFallon Creek these scat
tered bands of Sioux are numerous; also
the more civilized road agent, who does
not hesitate to hold up the unsuspecting g
traveller for his pony and even what few
postage stamps he may have about his
person. Travellers without escort say the
pale faces are more to be feared than their
more uncivilized red brethren. Col. Mer.
rill has his forces very we'll distributed,
with scouting parties on the load contin-
uously. Notwithstanding these precau.
tions, the mule eharmers and scalp takers
occasionally steal a march on the mill
ta1y and get away with the spoiIs.
