Washington.

Chicago, 5.-Nea0S Washington:
a careful canvass is being made of
the Senate t0rascertain the status of
members on the pending bill for the
relief of FitZ John Porter, the bill
being to some extent q measure up
on which party lines have been
drawn, pairs previously maze by
senators now absent are binding
upon those who are present. The
friends Of Fitz John Porter claim
the canvass of the Senate shows a
clear majority for the relief bill Of
six and that the minority will not
be allowed to defeat the bill by fill
clustering.
On business of the Supreme
Court, to-day, was the following

the committee will be ready to lay

will provide that these vessels shall
be built Of steel, and provided with

The amount appropriated is in

Friends of the scheme of extending
national aid to education in thu
states and territories, are sOmewha
disheartened at the outlook. MI
Sherwin, who has charge Of the bill
in the House, says the only hope i
to get the bill up, if possible, befor
the revenue bill is reported, as tina
bill will shove out all others. H
is not at all sanguine that this cal
be done. In the Senate, Mr.. Blai
| proposes to try and take up the bill
on next Tuesday, and in the mean
time influence and solicitations are
being brought to bear on the presi
dent to secure a special re
commentator of the measure

House yesterday. Had he been
present he would have voted for the
passage of the civil service bill.
The House then, in committee OF
the whole, took up the District OF
Columbia appropriation bill. 1t ap-
prOpriates $3,443,S47, being $S1, GAP
less than the estimate. The bill is
substantially as the present law.
In discussing the appropriation
for lighting the district, Klock
charged that the Washington Gas
Company controlled Congress, and
that the company has a man in the
House who kept them informed of
measures introduced affecting gas
interests.
Hiscock suggested a resolution of
Inquiry.
After some discussion the
amendment Of Klotz, making an
appropriation of ,S22 per lamp was
adopted. The amendment was alse
adopted leaving it in the discretion
of the distrIctcOmmis sioner to sub
stitute Othetilluminating material
for gas in lighting the district. The
bill then passed.
Ford, of Missouri, characterized
as unqualifedlv false dispatch to
the st. Louis Globe Democrat de-
scribing him as a crank and charg-
ing him with obstructing the bust
ness of the House.
Singleton, of Illinois, stated that
he b ad not heard his name called
yesterday on the passage of the civil
service bill. Had he done so he
would have voted against it.

Two Aged Women BrntalIy Murderet
and Their Home PIundered.

INDIANAPOLIS. March l0.-The news
reached here early this morning OF a hor.
rible double murder, that had been com.
nilted near Royalton, fourteen miles north
of this city. The vieims were two old
lladies, Mrs. Lucinda Foreman and daughter.
They lived alone upon farm, and the
crime was only discovered when the neigh.
bors noticed yesterday afternoon that the
chimneys Of the house were not smoking,
and that other signs Of life were absent,
Mr.. Cooper, a neighbor, went to investi.
gate, and upon nearing the house he dis.
covered the body OF the daughter partially
concealed under some straw. Still Clasped
in one arm were several ears OF corn, show,
ing that she, must = have BEEN struck
down while ! going about her morning
"chores." The weapon used was an axe,
and there were four gaping wounds in the
head and neck, ieitler one OF which was
fatal. One blow carried part Of the left ear
into the wound. Mr.. Cooper then gave
the alarm, and the news spread with great
rapidity and produced intense excitement.
Within the house an equally CHASTITY sight
was shown. The remains OF the mother
were found lying on the, floor, nearVthe
kitchen stove, with gaping wounds In the
head and the neck severed, save a slight
strip Of flesh, which still held the two por.
tions together. Oyer the body was thrown

FRESH MEAT DEP0TS
TO Be ESTABLISHED IN WHEELING
Above tosupply Retail Dealers with Dressed Be-.
from ChlcAro-A!ChleaE Firm ForestSllsd
byPronlaent Business Men OF Wheel.
ine-The First Lot This week.

Rumors Of prospect Of the establish
ment Of fresh meat depots in this city, Il
be supplied with dressed beef from Chica
20, have been abundant and the fact tina
Mr.. Swift, President Of the Swift Refriger
ating Company, Of Chicago, had purchase
two lots on Water street south Of the creek
gave color to these rumors. WhetherI i
was or is the intention OF this company tc
establish a fresh meat station and build &
refrigerator is not reliably known. Many
people who are interested in the subject,
and who have tried TO substantiate the re
ports have come to the conclusion that the
b. 4 0. Company were the real purchasers
OF the lots referred to, and that the transfer
was made to another person because the
company did not want to be known in the
matter. ..,5a e. -
Al any rate, another firm, Armour < Co.
OF Chicago, have had their eye on Wheel
ing, and have contemplated establishing a
meat depot here, and furnishing the meal
to consumers from wagons driven around
the. city, as the same firm,is now operating
in Pittsburgh and elsewhere. OF COURSE
this would have injured the business o.
butchers now here, II it did not drive many
OF them out, OF the trade. ---
This planlh has now been abandoned by
Armour & Co. Messrs. A. G. Egerter, d
@. List, it,, Joseph Speidel and Louii
Zoeckler, have made contract with the
firm, and propose to bring meat killed and
dressed by Armour & Co. at Chicago tc
Wheeling, and sell it here to butchers and
retailers.
{ Ex.Mayor Egerter and Mr.. zoeckler will
leave this morning for Chicago to bring
the first supply Of meat
In talk with Mr.. Egerter last night, he
told q reporter some OF the foregoing facts,
and added that all kinds Of meat, the car.
cases OF which could be procured at Chi.
cago, would be dealt in. The meats will
be brought in refrigerator cars, and until a
refrigerator building can be erected the
meat will be sold direct from the cars. Mr..
Egerter said that the butchers were heartily
In favorot the move, as it would prevent
formidable competition, ,.and unless by the
new system they can obtain meat cheaper
than .theycan kill it, they will, OF course,
not buy the Chicago meat, The new
departure will not seriously affect
any interest here. Heretofore a
large proportion OF the animals killed here
were brought from Chicago, and the cattle
boughtne home were never as desirable
as those from the west. Mr.. Zoeckler has
been engaged in purchasing live stock at
Chicago for several years for butchers here,
The character Of the men engaged in the
new enterprise warrants fair trial Of the
plan, and probably in another week Chi
cago dressed beef will be on the tables o.
a majority OF Wheeling households.

The Salvation Army BrayeIy Pushing
the War,

The campaign of the Salvation Army seems
10 be successful 10 one respect, at least The
officers who established the Post here an
nounced that one great aim was to attract
people to their meetings Their success in
doing this must be very satisfactory. Such
large crowds have attended their meetings
that Melodeon Hall, on Main street, where
the Army's barracks" were first established,
was found too small for their accommoda.
tion. and the old City Hall, over the Upper
Market, was procured, and two meetings are
now held each evening.
1t Is a striking fact about the operations Of
the Army that they have enlisted In the
cause some Of the toughest characters In the
city. Men who were formerly frequent fg-
ures in the Police Court and at other petty
tribunals now wear the large red badge OF
the Army, and are among the most promi.
nent OF the recruits. Last evening the crowd
at the Market House was very disorderly,
and the managers, falling to secure u police
man TO keep order, detailed two or three men
TO quell the tumult, and they succeeded rea-
sonsbly well. There Is talk OF making one
or two Of the recruits special officers.
The sale Of the newspaper, The Var Cry,
published as the official organ OF the Army,
and Of the SOLDIERS Song Book, Is large al
all the meetings, on Sunday as well as week
days. The songs have caught on" and are
whistled and sung about the streets by the
Arabs like the latest minstrel or operate airs.

OF the newspaper man to the accounts in
two papers he held in his hand ot the re.
cent romantic marriage OF Mrs. Dora CAL

county, TO Ex-Governor, ex-senator

discanted on her beauty, wealth and per.
sonal charms in very aorid manner. The
gentleman in vein Of fine sarcasm said
that he knew a thing or two, and posi-
bly, her father was millionaire,
but II 80, was living In neglected
retirement, holding up possibly the best
society in some place or other, either In
this State or Virginia. He did not believe
however, that Sprague's creditors would be

CONGRESSMAN oCnILrREE.
His Eadeavors 10 Draw His salar,
While m Default SO, 900.

WASHINGTON, March l0.-Representative-
elect 0chiltree begins to believe there is
something serious in the action Of the First
Comptroller in ordering the Treasurer to
withhold his salary until the judgments
against him now. on record are satisfied.
He filed a lengthy argument with Judge
Lawrence to-day on the Constitutional
rights Of n Congressman to draw pay
whether he happens to be defaulter to
the Government or not. He ;has
therefore asserted. that the reports
Of his being interfered with at the
Treasury Department were all nonsense,
as5 the Sergeantatarms Of the House
would pay him the same as he did the
other members. The Sergeant.at-Arms,
however, does not care TO incur any risk oil
this sort, and 0Chiltree has finally learned
that the Treasurer Of the United States is
the Congressional Disbursing officer. The
Solcitorofthe Treasury, before whom the
offer Of compromise is pending, has not yet
taken up Ochiltree's case. He is awaiting
information from Texas in the cese, and Is
not disposed TO hurry matters.
sS The $500 which the Colonel claims isall
he has 70 offeris on deposit in the Depart.
inent, but il is rather too much below Sl0,.
600, which the courts have decided he owes.
