WASHINGTON, August SIN the House,
this morning, Immediately after the read
ing Of the Journal, Hiscock, from the APP
preparation Committee, reported a resolu-
ton fixing the time for adjournment at IL
o'clock next Saturday. Considerable dis
cussion ensued over the matter, Kasson
wanting the resolution to go over until the
Senate had acted on the tax bill, as he had
been informed by Senator Morrill, that it
would be called up for action.
Cox said it was useless to wait longer As
Congress had abdicated in favor OF Tariff
Commission, which was now sitting at
Long Branch. The best thing to do was to.
adjourn before the National Treasury was
entirely bankrupted.
A rattliDg little debate ensued between
Cox, Carlisle and Randall, on one side, and
Hiscock, Reed and KaSsen on the other,
a. to who was to blame for the failure OF
the reduction Of taxation, after which the
resolution was passed.
This is the first step toward adjourn
ment, but does not settle anything, as the
Senate has yet to act. All depends upon
the Tax bill II it is permitted to go over,
Congress will adjourn Saturday, or Mon
day at furthest; if it is taken up, as is not
likely, Congress may be here until Septem-
Der. Still il is thought that an adjourn
ment will be reached this week, and
throughout the afternoon there were many
indications that the end OF the session
was approaching. The committees, when
called, presented no measures OF i'm
portance, and there was no disposition to
Iroc,oS 20 business on any of the calendars
or on the Speakers table. The space in
front of the Speakers desk was occupied by
members with favorite measures, endeavor-
ing to catch the eye of the Speaker. Many
secured the recognition OF the Nker,
but the measures for the most part faaied,
objection being raised to almost every
proposition, and after a couple OF hours
used in trying to pass measures by unanl-
nous consent, the House adjourned.

looked the tools back into the wagons as
fast as they were unloaded.
A gang Of Italians then began to dig
trench, whereupont fourteen. year-old boy
seized the shovel and threw the dirt back.
Matters were quiet for some time, but at
length the President Of the Hydraulic
Company resppesred and ordered the men
to go to work again. No sooner
had they started than the crowd
rushed in on them and prevented work.
The men withdrew and attempted to work
in another place, whereupon the crowd
made another charge, and a rough and
tumble scrimmage ensued, in which one
of the citizens party asarrested for assault.
The Akron people express determine
tion to resist the re. building OF the dam in

water is polluted and the city rendered un-

have only this to say:
re.affirm, with emphasis, every word
uttered by me, either spoken or published,
in relation to the arrangement between
Judge Hoge and myself, made at the Fair.
mont convention in 1880, and hold myself
personally responsible for the absolute
truth Of the same.
RSo far as Captain Bradford is concerned,
his mere failure to remember is hardly a
contradiction of my statement. The fol-
lowing will appear over my signature in
this weeks issue of the Philippi papers
and states the facts so far as Captain Brad
ford's connection with the matter is con-
cerned:
"Captain Bradford wholly misapprehends
me il he infers from my memorandum, or
statement, that | mean to say he was
party to the arrangement between Judge
Hoge and myself at Fairmont in 1880 |
went to the Mountain House and saw Cap
tain Bradford in his room and there made
To him the statement as published by me,
with the result there stated. He was not a
party in the agreement, nor was he advised
of its existence he simply consented to
withdraw from the convention, All who
withdrawn Just after the reassembling oil
the convention after supper"
That Judge Hoge has denied this agree
ment as being false, and has given reasons
WHY il could not be true, as you state, IS
new to me. He certainly does not, in his
letter of December %, 1881, addressed TO
me. He there says:
"a gentleman has just called upon me
with an inquiry which involves the inter
view you had with me at the fairmont Con-
yention. / told him ] would not answer
him as to the terms OF our conference until
/ heard from you, as 1t was understood
that you would make an immediate note oi
it and give copy to Mr.. Morrow. having
absolute confidence in you, | am content TO
abide by YOU, particularly as being con-
temporaneous memorandum it must neces-
sarify be more accurate than any mere rec
ollection OF my own or any ones,
"As you will remember, conferred with
my friends, stating to them plainly the
points Of our understanding.
"Tbe inquiry made OF me is the result OF
some difference OF recollection among them,
which being referred to me, decline to
decide before hearing from you"
II this does not prove that there was
conference and thst terms were agreed up
on, about which his friends differed at the
date of his letter, and that was to make
3 note of the terms agreed upon at this con-
ference, and that in December last he was
unwilling to trust his own recollections,
but was content TO abide by my statement,
then language proves nothing
His letter, written July /, 1882, in the
heat OF this canvass, IS not denial OF the
arrangement, but is an evasion; and II 1t
were a denial, submit that his recollec'
ton would scarcely be Clearer now than in
December last, and that denial under
such circumstances would scarcely carry
conviction. Very respectfully,
JOHN BARTON PAYNE.

PITTSBURGH, August 3.-The rolling mill
of the National Tube Works, at Mckees-
port, made a start yesterday morning with
q small force of non-unlon men. Two
heating furnaces were running, and the
plate mill was kept in operation all day.
As nearly as can be ascertained there were
about forty men at work. The Amalga-
mated men claim that only two OF their
number were among them, and they were
the boss rollers, SunCoX and Henderson, OF
whom mention was made yesterday. An
other man named George Bradley, welder
in the tube department, started to work as
a heater and had charge of ane furnace.
The rest of the crew was made up OF Swedes
and other wOrkmen about the mill who
were never taken into the Union fold.

B PARKERsBuRG, August 3.-The' County
Democratic Convention passed off quietly,
this afternoon. Forty-two delegates were
selected with alternates. By previous
arrangement between Jackson and Leonard,
the delegates were to be divided equally
between the two, but il, will depend entire
" upon the ability of the candidates to
control the delegates elected. to-day, in
convention, as the expressed senti-
ments of those chosen shows that twenty
seven are for Jackson and fifteen for Leon.
ard but it is pretty generally conceded
that the delegates will abide by the wishes
of the candidates, and divide the vote
equally. The best of feeling prevails be-
tween both parties.

the schooner Angus Smith, were struck by
lightning and more or less damaged. Most
of the damage to property was done by
water, which filled all the easements in the
flat part of the city. Many business houses
near the river suffered heavy loss OF goods
stored in easements.
Ii is reported that the water came in
suddenly on a family living in a basement
an the west side, and in their haste to re-
move the furniture, they forgot a baby
which lay in its cradle in another room,
and it was drowned.
The sewers of the city proved inadequate
for such fall of water and much damage
was done to the streets, and many sewer
pipes are broken by the pressure OF water.
The storm was purely local.
