was the sister oil the late James Quigg, and
the aunt OF ohm J. Quigg, Esq. The deceased
was never sick day in her life, as known
at present, and never had occasion but
once o>twice TO use any sort Of medicine.
She has been resident at the hospital for
the past three years, her mind hsying
shown some signs Of weakness for nearly
two years, but her mental faculties have
been almost entirely lost for the past six
months One most remarkable fact about
this aged woman's life was that she never
useL q pair of eye glasses. Her sight re-
mained perfect until the day OF her death.
The funeral will take place Sunday alter

WAsu1seroS, May 26 The sixth day of the
deadlock in the House closed to-day with
an indication that it wouidbe, sndedto-
morrow e., .fr-T giz glE -EE .78i 80
Early in to-dsy's session rumor was
current that speaker Keifer intended TO
make an arbitrary ruling, which would
check filibustering, taking the ground that
the House being the judge Of the qualitica-
ton and election of its members, and the
question being one Of the highest priyi-
leess, tiilsiary mo- snsaioz1 ajonss <sa1d
not lie against it. 1t was deemed OF enough
importance to bring about conference OF
Messrs. Randall, Kenna, Blackburn, Cox
and Carlisle. 1t was agreed at this confer
ence that if the speaker made revolu-
tionary ruling, it would be met by motion
to remove the speaker.
1t was found too that Mr.. Geo. Robinson,
of Massachusetts, and other Republicans,
would not support the ruling which
it was supposed the Speaker would make
Later in the day an intimation OF com,
promise was made from the Republican
side as follows:
The Mackey-0 Connor case to be recon-
mltted to the Election Committee for in
vestigation as to the alleged forgery i'll the
record. The Democratic Leaders, in view
to thereof pledge themselves not to filibus.
ter on the other election cases.
To this proposition the Democratic lead
ers made reply that they would not con
slider any question as to what their action
should be on other cases, until they were
presented to the House.
The House adjourned at four o'clock, and
Immediately after the Republicans went
iuto caucus, the result of which il
is said was the adoption of resolution tc
make a proposition to the Democrats that
if they would allow the case to be consider
ed, and there was any foundation for the
charge of fraudulent evidence shown, the
Republicans would vote to refer the case tc
the committee for further investigation.
As this is about all the Democrats have
been contesting for, it is probable that to
morrow tAeyeylvill be- d ccmpropise BY
