Il VALID.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON Jan. 23.-By a vote of to to-day
the Elections Committee agreed to report that the
prima facie title by which Representative Mayo. of
Virginia holds his seat. is valid. The negative
votes were cast by Chairman Turner Davis and
Bennett Democrats. Three or four Democrats, i'll
GLIDING Adams, of New-YoTk, LOwery, of Indiana,
end Cook of Iowa, voted for the resolution. The
certificate presented by Mayo and by virtue OF
which he was admitted to his seat without obec-
ton, was not attacked as to its genuineness OF
validity by anybody, but Mr., Tucker of Virginia,
attempted TO rush through the House resolution to
reopen the prma face case, which the Republicans
cOntended was res Odj0dicdtd.
This case is wholly unlike that of Manning
against Chalmers, which was decided differently by
the committee, and yet some Democratic Congress-
men, who profess TO be lawyers, loudly denounced
the committee for It's action to-day. Manning
discredited his certificate, refused 10 file II
with the Clerk of tie House. and admitted that the
very papers upon which ii was based showed that
Chalmers was elected. With this state of facts
the commit ee was compelled 10 declare that
neither Manning nor Chalmers was entitled TO
scat on prima tacie case.
The reports i'll both cases will probably he mazda
10 the House next week and when they are called
up lively debate may be expected.

United States marshal from rs TO SO. Re-
ferred
The House by avote of yeas lis, and nays
l21 refused today to 90 into a committee for
the cons liberation of the bonded whiskey ex-
tension.
Under the call of the committees the fol-
lowing reports were submitted:
By Mr.. Turner OF Georgia, from the COM
mitree on elections, resolution confer
ring the right of Thomas G. Skinner of
North Carolina TO a seat in the House; laid
over.
By Mr. Slocum Of New YORK. from the
committee on military affairs, granting per-
mission 10 dig for treasure on government
lands at West Point, was laiG on the table.
The bill in relation to postal matters came
up.
Mr.. Horr of Michigan thought the bill was
drawn, not in the interest of the public but in
many respects for the purpose OF running the
character of the mail service. Ii appropri-
ated to pay the salaries Of postmssters $780,
600 less than it took to pay them this year.
He was opposed 10 this provision, contendibg
that postmasters in large cities fully earned
lnt salary they were now receiving he ln-
vited special attention to the provision for
the reduction of compensation to railroads,
his opposition being directed to the clause
authorizing the payment of only so per cent.
of that compensation to the land grant roads.
This did not apply to the Pacific system, and
it was doubtful whether it applied to the
Northern Pacific. 1t affected fifty title roads
scattered throughout the country, only ten of
which were on paying basis. While one
man from Indiana (Holman) was here declin-
ing to pay these roads what they earned. an
other from Indiana (Cobb) was in another
room taking away what had been given them
1t was unjust and unfair, unbecoming the
dignity of the great nation to deal with the
roads other than as ona individual would deal
with another.
Mr.. Sumner of Colorado advocated estab
fishing postal telegraph, and maintaining
the advisability of such step He declared
that if there had been a postal telegraph in
1876, Samuel J, Tilden would have taken
possession of the position to which he had
been elected, and to which it was likely he
would be elected again in 1884.
The committee without further action rose
and the House adjourned.

Robbery But is Caught in the Act.
Ngw York. March s

NEW YORK, March ).
The police today arrested Jesse Williams.
negro coschmsn, and Gertrude Ash, colored
servant, his allie ged accomplice in one of the
most brutal assaults and robberies perpe-
trated here since the Hall murder in 1874.
The victim is Miss Maggie Harvey. aged Is,
sister of Mrs. Sloane, whose husband is a
prominent merchant of this city. They occu-
pied fat in large apartment house at the
corner of Broadway and SD street. Gertrude
Ash was a servant in the family. Saturday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sloane went out TO visit some
friends. leaving Miss Harvey in charge of
her nj, &C. who is two years old. Miss Har
vey retired at 80 O'Clock. Mrs. Sloape's
girl slept with her in the room which opens
upon the public hall. in which there is a
large closet Miss Harvey had but just gone
to bed when she heard a strange noise. Look
ing around she saw the closet door swung
open, al the same time the negro who had
been concealed there, sprang forward. and
grasping the terrified girl by the throat, and
threatened to kill her if she made any out
cry. The commotion aroused the child who
had been asleep, and it began TO cry, where
upon the negro threatened to take its life
if Miss Harvey did not make it keep still.
He then demanded TO know where the money
was kept, and ordered her to give him the
keys to the various rooms, with brutal
threats if she did not obey. When she said
she did not know where things were kept, he
dragged her from bed, still retaining his
grasp on her throat, and threw her upon the
floor.
After stuffing handkerchief into her
mouth and tying towels around her head he
fastened her hands behind her and tied her
feet. He ransacked the apartments and made
his escape by the way of window which led
to the fire escape.
Mr.. and Mrs Sloane returned about IL 40
and upon reaching Miss Harvey's room
found her lying bound on the floor in an un-
conscious condition. and it is evident that she
would have soon died of suffocation had not
assistance been promptly rendered. She was
in very critical condition today.
The police were summoned, and on reach
ing the room occupied by Gertrude Ash, 4,
Williams was found lying under the bed.
The officer ordered him out and while taking
him down stairs the prisoner made frantic
efforts to escape. Several blows on the head
with billy subdued him and he was hand
cuffed and taken to the police station. Cert
rude Ash was also arrested and locked up,
although she denied that she knew Williams
and said she was ignorant of his presence in
the house. 1t was learned from several
members Of the "negro colony" in the vicin-
ity, that Williams and Ash were considered
to be engaged. About 5000 worth of jewelry
and silver was found in a pillow case in the
servants room.

The explosion of the boiler in J. F. Dear
bon's spool. dowell and novelty turning mill
at this place, yesterday, which resulted in
the loss of four lives, was probably caused
by an unknown defect in the boiler. The
men killed were testing a new dome head

steam guage registered 10. The conclusion
was of great force. John Sweeneys body
was thrown forty rods and through cedar
post, six inches in diameter, thirty rods from
the boiler. Browns body was found near
the engine. The bodies of Patrick Boyce

thirty feet in an opposite direction to that

THE SHIPPING BILL.
Two Reports Submitted by ,he House
Committee.

The House committee on shipping today
presented two bills on Representative Find
lays bill to admit foreign built ships free of
duty. The majority report, which is ad-
verse, says that the admission of foreign
built ships " ould obviously be serious injury
to our ship building. In view of these facts.
neither the existing tariff nor any proposed
tariff admits any other manufacture involving
so much skilled labor without the payment of
at least 30 per cent. duty. Unquestionably
if the free ship policy should obtain foot
ing under the limited plan proposed, it would
be but short time before it would be amend
ed so as to include coasting trade. Messrs
Slockum, Throcknorton, Denster and Find
lev, the minority, in their report say that in
1855 the American vessels carried 75.6 per
cent. of our foreign carrying trade, and that
this proportion has decreased until in 1881
we carry only 1872 per cent, OF our imports
and exports. They estimated the freight on
our imports and exports to be at present over
$3.50, ,0OO, 900 per anuum. Our receipts from
this source based on the proportion carried by
United States vessels in 1855 would be Sl05,-
900, 900 per annum instead Of $40 200, 900.
The report says that this decrease is the re-
suit of local or State taxation, the expense
connected with the hiring and dischargng
of seamen. and consular fees, and the pro-
tective tariff, which prevents vessels from
securing return cargoes from countries
which purchase our surplus product.
Our lack of ships, however, is the greatest
cause tending to destroy our carrying trade,
and our laws prevent us from obtaining
them, except at from 10 to 25 per cent. more
than our competitors pay. Other countries al
lows merchants TO buy where they please, and
the minority believe that this country should
do the same. I'VE recommend the passage
of bill allowing our citizens to purchase
foreign built ships of not less than 5000 tons
for foreign trade
