The members got up a handsome purse
yesterday for the crippled young man who

stock of fruits and cigars by the confagration.
One of the Representatives who Joined In
the mad rush of the panic-sticken at the first
alarm of fire, came almost to his senees before
he had run down anyone or barked his shins
against chair or desk, and in rapid thought
said to himself, "Here am ], fireman for
eight years, captain of company and chief
of department., making fool of myself ard
likely to lose my life because I haven't got my
senses about me.n He was shaking as with
ague and weak as if he had been througha spell
of fever; but his will was up. Backto his desk
he walked, seated himself in his chair, lit his
cigar and waited till he could comprehend the
scene about him and Judge his best means of
escape. Then he gathered up his papers,
walked to window and down a ladder, and
when he reached the ground felt grateful to
think he had come to his senses and kept them.
Representative Schmidt, of Washington
county, who Jumped from the window of the
House on Tuesday night, was not in his seat
yesterday. Though not badly injured he was
considcrableSshaken up. Hs says he has no
recollection of anything that occurred in the
perilous moments after the alarm of fire was
given. The first thing he remembers after
leaving the cloak room was his awaking as
from trance wading through the snow in the
capitol square, cane In hand.
Ansel Oppenheim. Esq, who has been a
member of the third house for several weeks,
was out In new overcoat and hat yesterday.
BE suspects that the fire had something to
do with the disappearance of his cid habili-
ments.
James Smith, Jr., of this city, left his
overcoat, hat and overshoes in the capitol on
Tuesday evening. A diligsnt search through
the ruins yesterday revealed no traces of the
missing garments.

The Historical Society.

Mr.. J. F. Williams secretary of the Histor-
ical Society, estimates that the loss of the So
ciety does not exceed $4,000, and believes that
no valuable papers or rare books were lost.
He did not attempt to move his rescued trea.
sures yesterday from the places where they
were stored Tuesday night, but will probably
remove them into the market house after con.
sulting with the executive committee of the
society. That committee is 70 meet at P. NJ.

understood, consider, among other matters,

OriGin of the Fire.

The origin of the fire is still q mystery.
The attempt to make Jefferson Davis Hudson,
the darkey flag raiser, responsible for the dis
aster is not likely to succeed. He raised the
flag In the morning and Immediately got drunk
to celebrate his birthday. He went to bed in
the capitol at P. NJ. and slept continuously
until the fire occurred. Mr.. Chapel, janitor
of the building, went to the dome with some
ladies between and 6 o'clock. Everything
was all right then and he locked the door lead
ing to it. There seems little doubt that the
fire was the work of an incendiary.

House of Representatives.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The House met in
continuation Of Tuesdays session. Mr.. Tuck
er demanded the previous question on the
motion to concur in the Senate amendm ent on
the funding bill. This is an amendment au-
thorizing public subscriptions for bonds and
notes. No quorom being present, call OF
the House was ordered and 125 members re-
sponded, less than quorum.
Mr.. Tucker moved to dispense with further
proceedings.
Mr.. Mcmahon reported back the deficiency
appropriation bill and moved to suspend the
rules and put it upon its passage. After dis.
cussion, at 1 P. NJ. Mr.. McMahon's motion
was agreed to, and the bill, the last of the ap.
proprfation bills, was passed.
Consideration of the funding bill was i'm.
mediately resumed, the question being on or.
dering the previous question on motion to
concur in Senate amendment 16.
A large majority of the Republicans re-
Trained from voting, but enough cast their
votes to make quorum, and the main ques.
ton was ordered, 1874 to 25. The following
Republicans voted: Anderson, Belford, Boyd
Browne, Cannon, Dunnell, Davis, Cabell, En-
steine, Haskell, Hawley, Kelly, Killinger,
Marsh, Neal, Orth, Ryan, Robinson and

without quorum. After further delay the
sixteenth Senate amendment was concurred in,
146 to 16.
The next question was on the twenty fifth
Senate amendment, which is to insert the
word temporarily in the fourth section, which
authorizes the secretary of the treasury to use
$5O, ,OOO, 900 in the rsdempted and per cent
bonds. The committee Of ways and means
recommend concurrence with an
amendment to substitute for the
word temporarily the words from time
to time; also to insert the words "at any one
time" so as to make the section read: "The
secretary of the treasury is authorized to use
from time to time not exceeding $4,000, ,00t
of any of the standard gold and silver coin in
the treasury in the redemption etc. The
ways and means amendment was rejected
yeas IS, nays 1876, and the Senate amendment
the twenty. fifth, was then concurred in.

defeated; yeas III, nays 1872.
All the Senate amendmtA's to the funding
bill were th' agreed to without change and
the bill passed.
The speaker laid before the House the en-.
rolled funding bill, and it was signed by
him, and it new goes to the President for his
action. Adjourned.

The Senate In It's Ne,c Ouarters,


The Senate very readily adapted itself to its
new chamber, and in some respects hardly
knew it had been burned out. The dining room
of the market house was assigned to that
body and was fitted for the business of legis-
lation more conveniently than could have
been reasonably expected in the short time
between the fire and its occupation. The
room is somewhat larger than the destroyed
Senate chamber, with high, white walls, and
well lighted by three large windows at each
end The handsome black walnut desks in
tended for the Judge and clerk of the munich
pal court were placed at one end for the use
of the lieutenant governor and Secretary Jenni-
son and his assistants. The secretary missed the
pigeon holes of his old desk, but he extended
tables on either side so that he was not serious
ly Inconvenience. The Senator's were pro-
vided with chairs and tables of q variety of
patterns, Extension tables, long tables, short
tables, square tables and round tables, and
some of the double desks formerly used in the
House of Representatives, which seemed to
experience no inconvenience from the change.

The House II, Market Hall.

lnS house an !Hug!SSt aust'
Though every effort had been made during
the night, the new market hall was butpoorly
prepared for the reception of the House when
the hour for meeting arrived yesterday morn
ing. The atmosphere was chilly in the ex-
treme, while chairs and deal tables were ar
ranged in confusion on the main floor. The
clerks had been unable to procure stationery,
and there were no printed lists of bills on their
third reading or on general orders, and the
members were considerably at sea as to the
business before them. Everybody kept their
overcoats and wraps on, and by special per-
mission those who chose to do so were allow
ed to wear their hats. The result was that
nearly all kept covered during the
forenoon session, and kept themselves warm
by vigorous exercies and by pulling their
cigars To add to the discomforts of the hall,
the noise of the workmen and the tread OF the
members and the lobby upon the bare floors
rendered it almost impossible for the clerks to
hsar or be heard, and all efforts of the chair
man of the committee of the whole to main
tain anything like order were futile. AS re-
suit but little progress was made.
During the noon recess the tables were ar
ranged In something approaching order.
The members were separated from
the lobby by temrary raipoling, and stoves
had been set up which sent forth genial
warmth, and aided by the steam in the
coils kept the members comfortable. There
was still great confusion, however, and the
speakers gavel was beating a continual tattoo
during the greater part of the afternoon.
During the evening recess few pieces OF
carpet were procured and laid upon the floor
around the members tables, and these served
to greatly deaden the noise, and considerable
progress was made.
f,,t1
present the body looked like mere handful
Of mortaIs In the middle of the vast hall. The
echo was noticeable, aud the acoustic proper
ries of the hall were found to be defective, at
uny rate when there was such a small crowd

The Erecutire Officers.

Yesterday was busy and withal a noisy
day, from dawn to sunset, on the first floor of
the market house. Carpenters, plumbers and
upholsterers were hurriedly making ready
apartments for the several State officers and
their assistants, while the latter were indus
triously engaged in sorting out books, papers,
furniture and fixtures. The attorney general,
who had personally superintended the removal
of his office to the market house, while yet
the fire was raging, was first to lean back in
his chair, survey his new quarters and pro-
nounce himself ready for business. By night
the governors and secretary of states offices
were in fair business order and this morning
all the rest Will be ready for business.
The governor and his secretaries are located
in rooms 80 80, 2S and 26. on the Seventh street
front next to Nabashaw.
The public examiner has for his office room
D, opposite room 26, in the center. and the
Office of the board of immigration is in
room E.
The secretary of state and his assistants
have rooms "a and %, and the large central
room A for storage Of stationery and printed
documents.
The attorney general has his office in
room 20.
On the opposite side, beginning at the Wa
bashaw street front, the auditor of state and
his assistants have rooms 29, with fire proof
Vault 27 and 25.
The insurance commissioner has rooms 2S
and 81.
The railroad commissioner has room 10.
The superintendent of public instruction
has rooms II and Is.
The adjutant general has roomL at the st.
Peter street end of the building.
All these offices occupy at present not more
than half the space on the first floor.

InterUieto With the Governor and 4uditoT.
Searching for information as to the present
condition and future prospects of the dispos-
sessed State government, rep
reSentative of the GLOBE called
upon Gov. PllSbury in his new Office
Yesterday afternoon and found him engaged
In preparing a message intended to be sent to
the legislature last evening. In the short
conversation permitted by his engagement the
governor spoke of the promptness of the
mayor and council committee in relieving him
from anxiety by rendering the use of the
market house, and of the energy which the
city officers and the mechanics they employed
had shown in making the building ready for
the resumption of legislative and executive
business yesterday.
You see, said the governor, we are con-
yenently located here and will soon
have everything in order and be quite COM
Portable. We will have to remain here of
course until the capitol is rebuilt. I have
had Mr. Radcliff examine the burned walls and
make al estimate of what 1t will cost to re-
build. He has had all the assistance he could
employ through the day and has furnished me
his estimates, and | am now preparing a
message to present them to the legislature
They are so complete that think the legis-
lature can act upon them without delay.
Leaving the governor the reporter sought
State Auditor Whitcomb and asked him how
long he expected to stay in his present quar-
ters. Not more than four months, said he;
we can have new capitol built in that time
MIR. Radcliffe has gone over the matter thor
oughly to-day, and he says the capi-
tol can be rebuilt in that
time. He proposes to use all that is left of the
old capitol which can be proftably used ,stiffen
the outer walls that he uses, put in brick par
tition walls where they were wooden, make
the building better and stronger throughout,
with four wide stairways convenient to the
outer doors and with the space better divided
according to the needs of the Offices. He esti-
mates the cost, after examining the walls and
foundations, at S60,650. There is some talk
about waiting to build more extensively, but
when men come to consider that the cost of
rebuilding on Mr.. Radcliff's plan will not be
more than athe interest for one or two
years on half million or million dollar build
ing think most of them will prefer rebuild
ing.
"Certainly,n said the reporter, ''if they
think how much is wanted right away to
bring the State institutions up to our popu-
lation, and that such capitol building as
this State will build some day it cannot afford
to build now"
"Yes," was the answer. In continuing he
conversation Auditor Whitcomb remarked
upon his surprise as he found how much was
saved from the burning capitol. Carpets,
pens, pencils, desks, erasers, rulers, big and
little things--it was remarkable how COM
plete in some cases had been the saving.
Especially was he pleased to find among the
things saved from his Office the familiar por-
trait of the late ]. R. Lucas, chief clerk in the
land department of the auditors office under
Mr.. Whitcomb and his predecessor
