done without injury to the public inter-

Did the public interests require that
$4,000 should be expended on Governor
Cameron's mansion? Did the public in
terests require that 100000 should be ap-
proprinted for the endowment OF n negro

the public interests require that the salary
OF the Surgeon OF the Penitentiary should

A Remarkable Case Of Fatality.

PHILADELPHIA, April Am astonishing
case Of fatality, in which three sisters died
within half an hour, was reported to the
coroner to-day. Two OF the deceased wo-
men--Sarah Watson, widow, aged fifty
two years, and Mrs. Cynthia Winsmore,
aged fifty-eight years-resided at No. 329
Wharton street, and the third-Mrs.
Elizabeth Smith--at 1885 south Fourth
street. About 10 O'Clock last night
Mrs. Winsmore went to her bedroom
to retire for the night, when she
heard a noise in her sisters room. Upon
reaching her room, Mrs. Winsmore found
Mrs. Watson in dying condition. Medi-
cal assistance was promptly summoned,
and Mrs. Smith was also sent for. The
physicians found Mrs. Watson in a coma
tose condition and administered ammonia,
but she did not revive, and expired in a
few minutes. Before they had recovered
from their establishment, Mrs. Winsmore
was overcome and fell to the floor in an
unconscious state, and in ten minutes she
died, and ten minutes later Mrs. Smith,
the third sister, was corpse. The ply
sicians were nonplussed, and the great
est CONSERVATION spread through the
household. The only theory upon
MDiCn iit ttttttS bNNOuiiNNO lpt II iiiAl
Mrs. Watson was seized with congestiye
chill and died from an attack OF apopleXy
which ensued, and that both Mrs. Wins
more and Mrs. Smith died from nervous
prostration, which caused attacks OF heart
disease or apopleXy. There is no suspi-
cion OF foul play, as the family lived on the
most amicable terms, and the surroundings
all point to natural deaths. POSt-mOrtem
examinations were made on the bodies
this afternoon, and the result will be re-
ported at the coroner's inquest. which will
probably be held tomorrow.

pure air and delightful climate, together
with the mineral water, so widely known

MALONE vs.. BECK,

Mr. Malone, Of Virginia, was heard from
on the question of civil service reform in the
Senate yesterday. He thought the present
civil service was good enough for all practi-
cal purposes. During his remarks he had
little tilt with Mr.. Beck Malone criti-
czed Beck for making his tMahone's) beg
ging political circular the basis for an in
vestigation. He admitted that he had sent
the circular to postmaSters and other GOV
arnment employees. but said he had received
but few responses, and dared any one to
name single person whom he had caused
to be removed for failure to contribute to
his political fund. In regard to Mr. Bay
ards statement that the removals Of Ma.
hone were So numerous that printed blanks
were kept to be filled in with the names of
his victims, NO" Malone said, excitedlv

from beginning to end, and in all its parts,
untrue and without the slightest foundation

Senator Bayarl sat with his back toward the
great boss of Virginia and paid no attention what
ever to him.
Mr.. Beck said he hoped the Senator from vr-

been done in this matter, or his remark that if
the propricties Of the place permitted he would
use stronger language, Mr. Beck thought he had
done nothing which would bring him under the
