The Improvement Inquiry to be Con
tinued at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-Messrs. Bur-
rows and Hiscock, of the special Congress
siOna4 committee appointed to examine
the Mississippi river and it's improve
ments, arrived in this city this morning,
and the other members are on their way.
The hearing of testimony will be con-
tinued here for two or three weeks.
The committee will send for pilots
and others, and will listen to
opinions from the standing Mississippi
River Committee. Mr.. Burrows, the
Chairman Of the committee, declines to
state his opinions until the close of the
hearing. He says there has been no meet
ing of the committee in which opinions
have been discussed. Mr.. HiscOck is also
reticent. When asked as to the
nature Of the testimony given and
its tendency, he said that it was
plentiful and varied, and that so many
who live along the river are interested in
the reclamation and improvement of the
land that there would nave been no end to
the hearings, had the committee cOntin-
Ued its sessions at points on the river. Its
duties were mainly in the nature of per-
sonal observations assisted by public
hearing.

AT PERIL OF HIS LIFE.

Bed into Court.

Defaulter Dragged from His Sick
Bed into Court.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-B. f. Bigelow,
the defauHing teller of the Bank of the
Republic, was to-day brought to court in
a carriage, to and from which he was car
ried in the arms of Deputy Marshal and
friend. In court he occupied
lounge, from which he did not rise
to plead to the indictments, thir-
teen in number, upon which he was
arraigned. Several physicians employed
by BigelOw's counsel had declared him to
be seriously III and unfit to come into
court, but two doctors who had been ap-
pointed by the court to report upon his
condition had testified that though sick,
he was not seriously so, and could appear
without danger to his life or health.
After his plea of not guilty had
been entered he was replaced
i'm the carriage, whence he was taken
upon a warrant upon the fresh charge of
embeZzlement, returned to the court room,
gave bail and was then allowed to 90
home. The day was very inclement, and
Bigelow's friends and physicians say his
compulsory appearance in court has en-
dangered his life. The action of the Judge
was taken. under the impression that
BigelOw's illness was cOunterfeited, and
that plan was on foot to enable him to

KELLOGG'S FIGHT FOR CON
GRESS.
His Answer to the Charge of NOn-Resi-
dence.


dence.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2S.-A telegram
from Baton Rouge shows that the returns
from the Third district were finally COM
piled to-day. The canvassers threw out
Assumption and st. Mary's parishes on
the ground of informality in the returns
The former gave Kellogg 1,130 majority,
the latter 1881 majority. This leaves
him still about 1900 majority. Gov
ernOr McEnery has refused to
issue certificate to Kellogg on the ground
of nOn-residence in the district or the
State, and has given him until Monday
next to submit brief and evidence. Kel-
lOgg has prepared a statement showing
that he came to the State in the spring Of
1868, that he was the sixth man registered
under the military reconstruction in 1876
in the parish of Orleans, that he has since
constantly registered and voted in the State,
bought and sold property, sued and been
sued in the state courts as a citizen of
the state; has been during his residence
four years Governor Of the State and ten
wears in the United States Senate, and is
still a Senator; has been recognized re-
peatedly as Governor and Senator by both
the National and State Governments, and
has large planting interests in Iberia par
ish, in the Third district. When he ceased
to be Governor his household goods were
removed from New Orleans, then the State
capitol to the parish of Iberia, in his dis
trict, where he has since resided and now
resides, and where he is now a registered
voter. The Democratic returning officer
of st. Mary's parish has telegraphed Gov
ernOr McEnery that the election was fair,
and that his returns are a correct cOmpu-
tatiOn of the votes cast.

THE TRANSIT OF VENUS.
Washington Time to be Sent to All
Offices Where it is Requested.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-In reply to
many letters received at the United States
Naval Observatory, Washington, D. c.,
Prof. Hardness, Of the United States
Transit Of Venus Commission, requests
the publication Of the following state
ment: There are many persons scattered
over the country who have good telescopes
and would be glad to observe the contacts
during the coming transit Of Venus. if
they had any means Of obtaining Wish
ingtOn time. The loss of so many possible
observations Of such a rare astronomical
event would be a serious one to
science. and to prevent it the Western
Union Telegraph Company has most gem
erously agreed to give wide distribution
to the noon time signals from the naval
observatory on December !. >, and !.
As this service will be wholly gratuitOus
on the part of the telegraph company, its
officers do not wish TO incur needless
trouble by sending signals to places
where no use will be made of
them, and it lis therefore requested
that all persons who intend to make accu-
rate observations of the transit will notify
the nearest Western Union Telegraph
office of that fact Immediately. The
necessity for such notifications will be
apparent when it is remembered that the
transmission of the signals will in
volve the use of many thousand
miles of wire and the making up of
numerous special circuits, all of which
must be planned before hand The fur
nishing of these signals free of cost to all
observers is a contribution to science on
the part of the Western Union Company,
which will be appreciated by every one
interested in astronomy. A circular Of
of explanation respecting the signals is
tory, and in day or two it will be ready
for distribution to all who apply for it.

RICHMOND, Nov. 2S.-The State Board
Of Canvassers met at 10 o'clock this morn
ing to consider the contested districts.
The Second and Fifth districts We're soon
disposed of, and certificates awarded to
Messrs. Libbey (Coalitionist), and Cabell
Dem. J, which is the same result as here
tofore telegraphed. The board will next
take up the First district, in which Mayo
(COalitionist) contests the election of Gar
rison Dem. 5, his principal claim being
based on an informality in the returns
from Gloucester county, which, if thrown
out, will elect him by one vote,
The board finally decided to throw out
the vote of Gloucester county, and award
ed the certificate to Mayo. The board
then adjourned until tomorrow, when
the case of the Congressman-at-large will
be taken up. If, as there is no doubt, the
certificate is given to John 5. Wise, Yir-

The architects employed upon the new

examination of that unfortunate building.
''repOrt that there is nothing in the condi-
ton of the ceiling Of the Assembly Cham
Der to warrant apprehensions in regard to

these words will doubtless recall the fact
that committee Of experts not long since
reached the conclusion that the said cell

the circumstances, the Assemblymen will
doubtless decide to give themselves the

to buildings and stock. The buildings
burned were the three story houses
