General TayIOr's Daughters.

In the house, last week. Nj. Tuck
er, of Virginia, offered an amendment
to the general deficiency bill, to give
Mrs. Bette Taylor cambridge and
Mrs. Sarah Knox Wood, daughter
and granddaughter Of President Zach
airy Taylor, the balance of $50, 900.
after ~deducting what had been paid
him, or his legal representative since
his death, on account of his
salary as president of the
United States for the year from
March 4, 1850, to March 4, 1851. 1t
will be remembered, as Mr.. Tucker
stated, that General Taylor died on
the 9th of July, 1850. At the time of
his death there was a precedent for
paying salaries of deceased presidents
to their heirs. 1t had been done in
the case of President Harrison, and
atterward was done in the case Of
President Lincoln. When President
Taylor died his family, who were then
wealthy, declined to permit a bill to
be introduced to pay to the tamily the
remainder of the years salary. One
Of the benefciaries is the widow
Of Col. Bliss, who followed Gen. Tay.
lor insthe Mexican war. The grand
daughter mentioned is the daughter
Of Surgeon General Wood. No APP
preparation is asked in the amend
ment, as will be seen, for any male
member of the family, but only to
these ladies who need it, although
they did not need it at the time of the
death OF their father and grandfather.
The male heirs have renowned in
favor of these ladies. Gen. Richard
Taylor, before he died, declined to
have any part of the money. The
amendment pives to these ladies over
$4,000. The amendment passed
without a. division.

Special to the Courier-Journal.J
WASHINGTON, June The atten-
tion Of congressman, as in fact others
at Washington, has been taken up
with news from Chicago. While sem
ators have been speaking, the rest of
the august body have been in the
cloak rooms and lounging on sofas in
the rear Of the halls, reading tele-
grams announcing the ballots. Most
Of the Blaine men have spent the
day at their favorite's house, where
he has been constantly in receipt of
kilograms. The Grant men are most
of them not here, although Carpenter
and Teller both put in an appearance
to-day, the former completely worn
out by the labors and excitement Of
the convention. He says he came
away because he was nos a member of
the convention, had no vote. and could
do no good. He looks as though he
had done no good to his now frail body
by going to Chicago at all. Simon
Cameron came on with him as far as
Harrisburg, and it was rumored that
they had come with a proposition to
Sherman. This Sherman emphatical-
ly denies, saying that he has not seen
either Of the gentlemen. Blaine is
not intensely nervous. He has sat all
day in his library, surrounded by his
secretary and the leading men Of his
faction, who have remained in town
receiving kilograms over his private
wire. Blaine realizes that his case
has been mismanaged at Chicago
that his friends should have pushed
the fight; that they should not have
permitted so much delay by the com
mittee on credentials; and, finally that
it was almost fatal to leave the presen.
tation of his name to such men as Joy
and Pixley, who represented the rail
road element, with which Blaine has
all along been charged with being toe
intimate. He has been disappointed
in his vote, and has not been able to
conceal his disappointment. As to
his vote, he expected more on the first
ballot. Sherman, on the other hand,
has been marvelously cool, and has at
tended to the duties of his Office at
the treasury department all day long.
Though his boom is very small, the
fact that he has a boom at all has
made Window very nervous, and he
has not been able to be in his seat in
the senate to-day.

An Exciting Situation.
Harrisburg Pa Patriot,l

Harrisburg Pa Patriot,l
AS the Niagara and Chicago express
train, composed of FIVE passenger
coaches, was whizzipg along over the
shining tracks of the Pennsylvania
railroad, and endeavoriug to reach
Harrisburg at 1910, the time marked
in the schedule for its arrival, and
just as the train was passing earns
station, a point a short distance west
OF Mt, Joy, a passenger rushed
through the forward CAPS In search
Of the conductor, crying exeitedly:
I'VE are all on fire back there
The train was stopped instantly and
in~ycstlgatiea proved that the third
coach in the brain, labeled No. 16,
bound for Pittsburg, was on fire. The
coach was occupied by about thirty
passengers, ladies, gentlemen and
children, among whom the greatest
excitement prevailed. BY the time
the train was stopped, aud the pas
sepgers removed from the burning
car, the fire had made too great head
way to be eXtinguished. The only
way to save the train was to clear
it of the burning car. The
two rear cars were. according
ly detached and left standing. while
the remaining portion of the train
With the burning coach attached was
rub All RAPID rate Ut speed 60 the
head cfthe siding which is located at
that point and backed down OIL the
main track. On the way to the siding
the conductor discovered aeyeral gpns
tlemen in the rear of the burning car,
who had failed to get out when the
train stopped. They appeared very
nervous at their situation, but the
conductor, knowing they were In no
actual danger, did not stop the train
until the car was placed on the siding.
A high wind was blowing and there il
was permitted to burn, while the con-
ductor took the engine and ran up to
Elizabethtown to report the occur
enee. AS soon as the car had burned
sufficiently to make it safe to go by,
the two sections of the train were
joined and the express proceeded on
its way. The fire caused a delay of
one hour and twenty-five minutes.
The value of the car was about $4,000.
The fire originated from a locomotive
spark, which was blown through one
Of the yentilating apertures and be-
came lodged in the lining Of the roof
Of the car.

Iron and Steel.

st. Louis Republican,
The recent report of the American
iron and steel association for the year
1879 shows that the production of pig
iron in this country increased from
.2,854,559 tons in 1872 to 3,070,875 tons
in 1879. The lowest product in this
period OF eight years was 2,093, 236
tons, in 1876, the time Of greatest de-
preston in the trade. The production
OF rails of all kinds increased from
100000 tons in 1872 to 1,113.723
ton. in 1879, and the production ofcut
nails and spikes increased from 4,065,-
322 kegs in 1872, to 5.0lLO21
kegs in 1879. On the LIST OF
March last there were 697 blast fur
naces in the United States, having an
annual capacity, if it were possible for
all ofthem to be al work during the en-
tire time, of6,500,0 600 tons per annum.
At the the same time there has been
A in process of erection, 20 of which
were in Pennsylvania. One interest.
ing fact here exhibited is the capacity
OF the furnaces to surpass the demand
The furnaces are able to- produc,
double the quantity Of domestic iron
required, ana yet we are still build
ing more furnaces. 1t is gratifying &c
note that steel rails are
rapidly taking the place o.
iron, as the fact assures us q
safer railroad travel and cheaper rail
road carriage. In 1867 our product
of iron rail was 459,528 tons, and O
steel rails, 1850 tons. Ten year,
later, the product of iron rails haC
increased to 905, $50 tons, and of stee
to l59,0l5 tons; but in 1869 the pro.
duct ofiron rails had fallen to 420,16(
tons, and that of steel had increased
to 6S3,974 tons. One effect of tht
substitution of steel rails for iron i.
that the quantity Of rails used mus
after a time begin to diminish, since 1
steel rail wears nearly three times a,
long as an iron one, and does not
therefore require to be displaced 81
frequently. The report does not con
cur in the opinion that 100000 ton
Of rails will be needed in the countr,
the present year, and it assumes tina
all that shall be required can be sup
piled by home mills.
