THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
The Revised House Rules.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The report to accom- pany fhe revision of the rules of the House of Representatives, which has just been con- pleted and put in type, makes with the rules themselves as revised a document of forty four pages printed in the usual forms of Con- gressional reports. The new rules were re- viewed at the time of their presentation to the House on the day when the recess was taken, but the report now printed contains g vast deal of information and gives reasons for the changes in different cases. After the re- port had been outlined by the committee it's preparation in detail was intrusted to Congressman Blackburn and Fl. H. Smith, the journal clerk of the House, and they have done their Werk so thoroughly that any one can see at glance the changes which have been made and the reasons for them. It is the opinion of good parliamentarians that if the rules can be adopted substantially as they have been re- vised, that much valuable time will bs saved and the business of the House will be simpli- fled. The majority will be enabled to control it's business without in the least interfering with the rights of the minority, and money will be saved to the Government in the way in which business will be conducted under the management. The new rules will como up for consideration January 9th, the day the House meets.

After having done that, she went immediately to her fathers hat and cap store on Canal street. On
 entering the store she went to the rear of the store. where her father set reading by the stove. Having gone behind him, she took a pistol from her, pocket and immediately shot her father in the right side of the head, placing the barrel against his temple.
 After this she went up stairs to back room over the store, where she, with the same pistol, sent bullet whizzing through her own brain, the wound causing death. A feW

 The Courts DecisiOn-A Victory for the
 Rigbt-Republicanst to Demand their
 Certificates.
 AUGUSTA, Jan. 4.-The decision of the Su- preme Court is the chief subject of discussion to-day. The Republicans are jubilant over the result and claim they will have control of both branches of the Legislature. The fu- sionists say the action of the court can have no binding influence on the Governor and Council, as the decision is partisan and not based on the questions of the Governor. A prominent lawyer says a certificate cannot be recalled constitutionally. The Republicans assert that the answers of the court settle the question. They consider the discussion end ed. The twelve Representatives from count ed-out districts will demand their certificates from the Governor tomorrow. They say also that every Representative counted out will be here tomorrow and demand certificate and compel the Secretary of State to change his record.

The Lost hOEuSS1a-N1OFe SuEV1VOrB
 Rescued--StOry of the Wreck.
 BALTIMORE, Jan. 4.-The Italian bark Giacomino, Captain Bonifazio, arrived yes terday from Aberdeen, Scotland. Captain Bonifazio reported at the custom house thst hs picked up at sea, about two hundred and fifty miles westerly from the Azore Islands, a boat containing eleven of the crew of the English steamer Borussia, which foundered at sea on the 2d of December. Bernard Garrity, one of the survivors, seaman on board the 1l-fated vessel, says on the morning of De- cember 1 leak was discovered in the engine room. Efforts were made to stop it, without success, and the water gained rapidly, not withstanding that the pumps were kept con- stantly at work. The wind was blowing lively gale from the west and a tremendous sea was running the breakers sweeping over the vessel, which was rapidly filling and be- coming unmanageable. At o'clock, Decem- Der 2, all hope was abandoned, as the vessel was evidently sinking, ana shortly after the passengers and crew took to the boats, leav- ing the Borussia to her fate. The night came on very dark and the boats became separated. Lifeboat No. 8, in which the survivors were brought to Baltimore, was picked up on the 9th of December. She had been drifting for three days at the mercy of the wind and waves. Part of the crew of the Borussia were landed at Queens town by the British ship Mallowdale, from Bussein, on December 23. They consisted of the chief engineer, doctor, boatswain and six seamen. They were picked up on the 9th of December, in an open boat, by the Aallow- dale. The Borussia had 18O passengers, of which number 1O5 embarked at Liverpool and 75 at Corunna. The crew numbered 54 men.
 Another of the rescued men, a passenger, stated that on November 30 the wind fresh ened and increased to 8 gale. On the follow ing day it suddenly chopped to the northwest, blowing strong, with heavy cross sea, in which the Borussia labored heavily. At noon she sprang aleak amidships. All efforts at the pumps were fruitless to keep the ship free. The water filled the engine room and stoke hole, putting out the fires and stopping the en- zines. The crew still continued to work at the pumps until next day, December 2, when it was determined to abandon the vessel. Her boats were launched and provisionsd, and 8 part of the crew, with about a dozen passen- gers, got into them, leaving the great majority of the passengers on the steamer.
 The survivors state that the steamers GOV ering board when they showed of was not more than two inches above the water. It is supposed that she must have gone down with her living freight very soon after the boats left her side.

How Bob IngersOll Fixed a Jurys
 From the New York Times.l
 ''Bob" Ingerson is said to be exceedingly effective before jury, and many stories are told of his triumphs as 8 special pleader when he was criminal lawyer in Illinois On one occasion, years ago, he was engaged in that State as counsel for farmer who had quar- reled with a neighbor, and shot him dead. The evidence was plain and direct on that point, though there was nothing to show that the prisoner had not believed that he was acting in sef-defense. When IngersoH was addressing the jury he drew pathetic picture of the prisoners wife and children-he had declned to allow them to be present at the trial, as less sagacious advocate might have done-waiting in eager expectation for his return, confident that he would be acquitted of crime which he would not and could not have committed except to save his own life, so dear to his family, so necessary to their protection and support. 'I see the wife now" :" continued the shrewd barrister, Standing at the door of her home, the sunlight on her hair, straining her eyes after the figure of the man dearer than all the world to her. see his little boys swinging on the gate with smiles about their lips, gazing down the road, watching for their beloved, innocent father. and sure that he is coming. They are all ready, the dear little fellows, to jump down, run after him, leap into his arms, and kiss away his sadness-the shadow of his unfortu- nate deed-whiIe they cry, Dear, dear father, we know you would come!' And, gentlemen of the jury, you who are yourselves husbands and fathers, wont you let him go home ?' The members of the jury were listening with ] wet eyes, and leaning toward the eloquent ad- vocats. The foreman, big, bra@ny, simple hearted farmer, the tears on his sun-burned cheeks, was so carried away that, thinking l the question addressed personally to him and demanding answer, exclaimed in choking voice, ''Yes, Bob, we'll let him go home" Ingerson had not half completed his argu- ment, but he knew that that was the supreme moment, and sat down. The prosecuting at torney made long speech in reply. but it was of course, entirely vain. The jury, after being out five minutes, returned a unanimous verdict of acquittal

Wholesale Body Snatching.
 RICHMOND, Jan. At has transpired that ghouls have been at work exhuming dead bodies by the wholesale from Oakwood Ceme- tery, situated in the eastern suburbs of this city. It is known now that over forty bodies have been stolen since the cool weather set in, and it is supposed that they have been shipped to medical institutions in different portions of the country. Nearly all the exhumed corpses are supposed to be ethose of colored people, though several of them may have been white. The attention of the Council Committee on Ceme- teries was called to this matter some time ago by the keeper of the Oakwood Cemetery, but no action was taken to prevent the work of the ghouls. The affair creates great excite ment among the people living in the vicinity of the cemetery, and when the matter becomes generally known it will create the greatest in- dignation against the Council.

 LONDON, Jan. 4.-Signor Imbriani, vice president of the Italia Irredenta Committee, has published pamphlet iustifying the ac- tion of his party in causing their flag to be displayed at the funeral of General Avezzana, late president of the Italia Irredenta Commit tee, asserting that the Ministers had declared to him that the cause of the Italia Irredenta was dear to them, but that it was absolutely necessary to prevent Austria from having any opportunity of seeking quarrel with Italy. Signor Imbriani also afirrs that the Ministers characterized the military law recently passed by Austria as constant menace to Italy. A dispatch to the Standard from Rome says s'Signor Nicotsra, member of the Chamber of Deputies. has given notice of an interpella- tion on this subject the meeting of the Chambers" Dispatches from Leghorn report that tumults occurred there on the occasion of the funeral of an old Garibaldian officer. Later dispatches assert that an official note, made public today, absolutely denies the as- sertions contained in the pamphlet of signor Imbriani in regard to the secret sympathy of the Ministry with the Italia Irredenta.

suing His Pastor for Damages.

SYRACUSE, Jan. 4.-The case of 8 member
 of the Catholic congregation at Fayetteville,
 named Crowley, against Father O'Reilley, is
 exciting good deal of attention in this vicin-
 ity. Crowley refused to pay an assessment
 of $2 which was levied by the priest on each
 male member of the church. In consequence
 of such refusal Father O'Reilley assigned
 Crowley pew in the back part of the church.
 Crowley continued to take his old seat, when
 the priest removed the pew bodily from the church Crowley brought a chair on the next Sabbath and put it in the place of his old pew and dropped upon his knees. While thus engaged in prayer the priest ordered him re- moved from the church, and he was elected. Crowley brought civil suit against the priest for damages and was beaten in the County Court, on the ground that the church proper ty was owned by the Bishop, and Father O'Reilley was acting as his agent. Yesterday | the attorneys of the plaintiff completed ar- ! engagements for carrying the case to the Su- preme Court, on the ground that the Bishop simply holds church property in trust for the people.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 4.-A Columbus special to the Enquirer says that the active workers at the State capital for General Garfield as suc- cessor to Senator Thurman, claim for him seventy out of the ninety Republicans who will go into caucus. They are confident of his nomination on the first ballot, and Mr. Garfield himself is reported as saying if he is not nominated on the first ballot he will with draw in favor of MT. Matthews. The latter is generally acknowledged as second in strength, as he is the second choice of many of MT. Garfeld's supporters. No figures are given by MT. Matthews partisans beyond eight from the Hamilton county delegation. They claim, however, that he has developed strength and MT. Garfield will not have the walk-over his friends expect. The organizers for Judge Taft count up eleven on the first ballot for their favorite, with hopes for more, and they do not acknowledge Mir. Garfeld's nomination foregone conclusion. Ex-Governor Denni- sons strength chiefly consists in his being the second choice of some of Mir. Garfeld's SUD- porters.
