PRESTO, CHANGE!
Objections are Withdrawn. and Bay
ard is Unseated.
David Davis. of Illinois, Elected in
His SteAd-36 to "a.
SENATE

SENATE.
Washington, Oct. 13.-The first vote
was upon the democratic caucus amend
ment to Edmunds resolution, to limit
the number Of committees.
Davis, of Illinois, voted no, with the
republicans. thereby defeating the dem.
ocrats. This is generally regarded az
signifying purpose on the part of Da-
Wis to vote with the republicans, and a
willingness to accept their nomination
for president.
Logan offered a resolution to elect
David DAYS. president of the senate,
which went over until tomorrow under
the rules. Davis was in his seat, and
made no motion to object. 1t is now
definitely known that be will accept,
and that his own election will be &C.
complished by his omission to vote.
The republicans had an assurance Of
his acceptance before nominating him.
Lamar offered q resolution request
ing the president to advise the senate as
to whether any action had been taken
by the government since the last session
OF the senate. towards protecting the
rights and interests of the United
States in the projected inter-oceanic
canal. Tabled for future action.
Edmunds called up his resolution.
continuing the standing Committees as
constituted last session.
Garland offered an amendment, pro-
viding that only the following commit
tees shall be continued: foreign rela-
tions, finance, commerce, military
affairs judiciary, postofiices and roads.
public lands, pensions and Indian af-
fairs. He contended that the commit
tees named were the only ones that
would have any work duingr the special
session.
Edmunds opposed the amendment.
There were committees not provided
for which, in his opinion, would be nee
essary to perform the work Of the ses-
sion. He instanced the committee on
privileges and elections as one which
should be organized; there was on the
table now q petition presented by the
senator from New Jersey (McPherson)
said to seriously affect the right of a
senator from New York to seat in
this body; then there was committee
on railroads which might have work to
do; 1t was known from public report
that there had been an important off,
Ger suspended for some supposed failure
Of duty, and by law it was required
that such suspension should be reported
to the senate; the committee on con-
tingent expenses was also a necessary
committee.
Garland stated that he would modify
the amendment 30 as to continue the
committees on privileges and elections
and contingent expenses, and thought
it would then include all the commit
tees necessary to organize at this time.
Garland's amendment was rejected;
yeas 35. nays SO; Davis, Of Illinois, and
Malone voting with the republicans.
Edmunds resolution was then adopt
ed; yeas 81, nays So. The standing
committees are therefore continued as
constituted at the last session, and the
president pro tenn is authorized to fill
vacancies that may exist.

Burglary.

Thieves called at the residence of John
A. Reynolds, Esq, at ap early hour of
TIM fsday morning and secured his gold
watch and a small amount of money.
They effected an entrance through back
window, secured only by nail, and the
shutter (which is usually left open. The
watch was taken from the bureau in Mr..
Reynolds sleeping apartment. His PAN
falcons were carried down stairs and the
contents of the pockets emptied upon the
floor. There were two pocket-books, only
one of which was carried away by the
thieves Fortunately for Mr.. Reynolds,
the amount of money in his pockets did
not exceed five dollars. A valuable watch
belonging to Mrs. Reynolds, which hung
near the bureau, in the sleeping apartment
visited by the burglars, was overlooked
by them. Mr.. Reynolds desk was bro
ken open and all the papers therein turned
topsy-turvy, but nothing was found there
that the thieves considered of sufficient
value to carry away. The cupboard stood
open, butthe silverware was not disturbed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reynolds never knew that
they had been called upon by burglars
until Mrs. r. arose in the morning and
went to the bureau to look at her hus-
bands watch. From the manner in which
the work was done, Mr.. Reynolds believes
the burglars to have been professionals.

AMERICAN JEwELRY.-Great progress
has been made in the last ten years in the
manufacture of jewelry in this country,
somuch so that some fine articles of Ameri-
can make are now being exported even to
Paris and London. In the designing, the
application Of the latest discoveries in
chemistry to the production Of the bright
colors now fashionable in fine jewelry,
and in the combination of the embellished
metals with precious stones, American
jewellers are equally proficient. Some
beautiful designs by Baily, Banks d Bid
die, Philadelphia, are attracting attention
for their exquisite finish. These are es-
pecially rich in the flower patterns now so
fashionable. Nothing could be more beau
tiful than some of the lace-pins in the form
among the petals like dew drop. Some
Of the designs Of this firm have been sent
to Paris for sale.

Severe Storms.

A heavy rain and hail storm passed over
the northern part of the county, on Sun
day, doing great damage in some locali-
ties. In the neighborhood of Newark the
hail riddled the corn and almost stripped
the trees of fruit and foliage. The gardens
were greatly damaged. The storm, which
lasted about ten minutes, is said to have
been the heaviest that has visited Newark
in twenty years. The hail stones were Of
unusual size, many being as large as
hiekory-nuts and some reaching the size
of walnuts. Services were interrupted in
the churches, and great number Of win
dow lights were broken out of public and
private buildings. Station Agent Shiveler,
is the heaviest sufferer in this respect,
having had 600 lights of his hot house
broken. More than one hundred we're
also broken at Dean e Sons mill, and all
the church windows were riddled. The
storm extended over a section of about
five miles in width and reached from
Newark to the Delaware river. In some
places the growing corn was almost en-
tirely destroyed. In the neighborhoOd of
Bear Station the damage was particularly
severe. The EUery EUening reports that
the grain crops and fruit on the farm Of
United States Marshal McMullen were
damaged to the extent of $500. No hail
fell at Wilmington but the rain came down
in torrents.
On Monday night heavy rain storm
passed over a part of the First District of
Cecil county, Maryland, beating down
the ripening grain and washing out
culverts in the public roads, On Saturday
night severe storm prevailed in the
southern part of Queen Anne's county.
Its greatest force was felt in the fertile
farming section from Queenstown to Wye
Mills, and the greatest sufferers were in
the neighborhood Of the first named town,
where belt of hail destroyed the growing
crops. Of this storm the Centreville |
Record gives the follow particulars;
"The hail came from the west and struck |
the farm of Mr.. Geo. Davidson, situated on |
Chester river, below Queenstown, break
ing the window glass, killing number |
Of chickens and cutting the growing corn
into ribbons. 1t increased in severity un-
till it reached the farm of Mr.. Valentine
Bryan, which adjoins Mr.. Davidson on
the east. In this immediate locality the
hail fell thick and furious and the stones
ranged in size from hiclory-nut to that
Of black walnut. Mr.. Bryan is heavy
loser, both wheat and corn being de-
stroyed. He is now engaged in cutting off
his corn close to the ground with the
forlorn hope of its coming again. His
loss is estimated at 81 ,0O0."

The New Comet.

It may not be generally known that we
were among the earliest discoverers Of the
new comet. Well, we were. At one
time we thought we were the earliest. But
we weren't. We discovered the new ce-
lestial visitor on Saturday morning
of last week, and Immediately prepared
the following despatch, claiming the 5000
offered for new comets at the Warner OBJ
servatory, Rochester, n. Y:
Office of the TRANSCRIPT,
MIDDLETowN, DEL,
June 25th, 1881.
G. s. WHITTEMoRE, ESQ.,,
Warner Observatory,
ROCHESTER,, N. Y.
SIR Having had occasion to arise at the
hour of a. m. this morning for the pur-
pose of throwing bootjack at a constitu-
tional convention of yellow cats, on the
shed roof, discovered fine comet in the
constellation of Auriga, directly between
Cox's carriage shop and the Citizens Nat
ional Bank. 1t had its tail up, and is evil
IDENTIFY travelling North in search of
cooler climate in which to spend its annual
vacation. Send the 5000 by express or
registered letter. Very Respectfully,
THE BALD-HEADED EDITOR.
N. B.-No objection to small bills.
Before we got the despatch off, and
while we were cogitating as to whether
we had best invest the 5000 in a section of
bank stock, a steam yacht or brick
house improved with silver door-plate
and a seven per cent mortgage, we took
up morning exchange and therein saw
that red-headed pelican of Pennsylva-
mia, who has nothing to do, perhaps, but
to st up nights and look for comets, had
seen the new arrival twenty-four hours in
advance of us. At about the same time,
an Illinois man, who had been locked out
by his wife and was meditating about the
uncertainties of human expectations, on
the kitchen root, also discovered the comet
and called up his wife to look at it; but
she said he couldn't comet that way over
her. Both of these discoverers were heard
from at about the same time at the Warner
Observatory, each claiming the 5000. So
we are out; or rather the 5000 is out-out
of our pocket. But we shall try again.
Considering that this was our first effort
at discovering new comet, and that we
were not trying, perhaps we didn't do so
badly. When we get little leisure from
our arduous editorial duties, may be we
shall erect an observatory on the she'd
roof, mount a section Of stove pipe and 60
into the astronomical business. Then
when another new comet comes prancing
around, with tail erect, other astronomers
will have to watch pretty sharp if we
don't get focus on it first.
