A SHAMEFUL STORY.
A Congressional Scandal-The Sound
Of Revelry IN a house on II
Street.

A special dispatch from Washington to
the EiCeniag Ieiegruph, of this city. dated
on Saturday. says: Ihc scandal, in which
q number of Senators and Representatives
have become deeply implicated by forming
a sort of joint stock company, to facilitate
their indulgence in the vices for which the
cupital is becoming somewhat noted, is at
tracing much attention here. For the past
twelve days the matter has been in the
hands of the detectives, whose services
were called into the case by Secretary OF the
Treasurer, the latter having been Informed
of the rumors in circulation, in which it
was stated that a number of the female
employees in this department had been seen
visiting the Congressional cooperative as
signation house, accompanied 10y the law
makers in question. The police are ex-
tremely ~reticent as to the results of the in
yestigation, and throughout the whole af-
fair it has been patent that extraordinary
e~xertion were being made to choke off all
inquiry and lush the matter up. The fact,
however, thus far ascertained are substan-
TALLY as follows
About a year ago a Senator from one of
most noted Southern States formed a liason
with a remarkably beautiful girl here. the
connection being countenarced and en-
outraged by the mother. Following the
usual custom of Congressional Lotharios,
a position was secured for the young wo.
man in the Treasury Department, where
her peculiar conduct soon attracted the
attention Of her associates. By drifts upon
the Senator'S purse the residence of the
mother was furnished l~uxuriously, and soon
a series of cosy wine suppers was inaugura-
ted, which drew together q gay group of
young girls, whose presence necessitated
the Senator's calling in a few of his friends
and associates from the Capitol.
Thus things went on, and the quiet
neighbors were shocked by the sounds of
midnight revslry, and the groceryman over
the way puzzed over the problem of 30 many
carriages standing from midnight till early
dawn before this staid-looking house on II
street. The young lady continued to PIE
sent herself ct the desk in the Department
until SEINE weeks ago., when she suddenly,
without warning, failed to put in an ap-
pearancs. She was absent for some time,
and upon her return her changed appear
ance, together with other circumstances,
appeared to indicate that she had been the
subject OF malpractice. Ugly rumors were
now In circulation, and, to cut of further
comment, the Senator secured the transfer
Oh the frsil damsel to the Smithsonian In.
sutotion, where, under u assumed name,
aer identity was hidden until = few days
ago. - I51I|7.
Another Senator from the South brought
:sle two beautiful young ladies, who were
sisters, from his own State. Employment
vas secured for them in the Government
,srvice, and the trio were frequent visititors
'ne little house On II street. Az sooA -

FATALLY LNJURED BYA BRUTAL HUSBAND

Two small rooms in tho rear tenement at No. 335
Fifth-st were occupied Oh May by Eugene Mcbride,
n poor tailor and his family The other inmates of
the house did not know where Mcbride had lived
formerly, or where he was employed. His wife,
Dora, slender Irishwoman of thirty-tive, was in
delicate health and unable to do any work, and her
two children were too young to assist her. Nc
BRIDE was dsspated, and when he was under the
influence OF liquor his conduct toward his sick wife
was brutal. Frequently he would lock her and the
children in the rooms, and leave them for the
greater part of n day without food.
Yesterday Mcbride went out to look at the
parade, and returned about 4 D. III, drunk and
dunrrelsOne. He ordered his wife to leave her bed
and get him something to eat. When she told him
she was too i'll to get up he accused her OF being
law and said she was shammn9 sickness. He
wrought himself into fury at length, and Selling
her by the hair dragged her from the bed and flung
her against sn open door at the other side OF the
room. IN falling she struck her head against the
door and received serious wound. Two men liv-
ing In the tenement heard her moaning a few
minutes later and tried to get into the room, but
Mcbride had locked the door ard gene into the
street He returned while the men were there, and
when they demonstrated with him for his conduct
he attacked them fercely. A policeman was
summoned, and Mcbride was locked up in the
Fifth-st. police station. An ambulance sent
for and Mrs. Mcbride was conveyed to Bellevue
Hospital. The surgeon who attended her said she
was dying The children were placed temporarily
in tbs care of the Society for tho Prevention Of
Cruelty to Children.

party eader--of leader whom nobody ever ac-
cused of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS was inevitable.
But there has been no moment during tho lass SIX
years when Lord Beacons6eld has shown SUCH hign
duallties ~ now--nOne in which the real grestnes
of the mans character of his intellect above al,
his resource and his command over men, have APP
peared 90 clearly as yesterday. If he were 10 ole
Tomorrow sed rcG CatoRi ought to be Inscribed on
his tomb-where, if ever, the use OF q dead IAN
guage might be permitted.
The only thing wanting to the complete success
of this assembly was that the rest OF them snouid
have kept silence-wlth the exception, perhaps, OF
the Duke of Buccleugh and of Lord Carnarvon.
The Duke was q proper man to express the JOY OF
the party over the continuance OF Lord BeaconS-
fields leadership-havinG at one time been counted
among his opponents. In fact, Lord BeacOnsnelu
never thought of resigning. 1t was reserved for sir
Robert Peel TO hint at such o calamity and to in
dulee IN a vulgar outburst of spleen against the
Liberals But Sir Robert IS the terror of whatever
marty he attaches himself to for the moment. Lord
CaroarvOn has happily chosen the hour OF his
partys defeat to resume his connection with H. In
truth. he never withdrew from it, but from the
Cabinet. and he is as much at heart Conservative
as Lord Derby is moderate Liberal. Ofthe other
speeches nothing need b. said but of the demonsra-
ton rs whole this is to be said that the COnserva'
tive party in England are considerably stronger
than they were before Lord BeacOnsfied took the
trouble to explain to them what their views ana
feelings are in the present emergency. g. W. s.
