F-ORTY-EGHrH CONGRESS.
HOUSE.

WASHINGTON. March 15.-The morn
ing hour was dispensed with and the
house went into committee of the whole
(Blount in the chair) on the postoffice
appropriation bill, the pending question
being on tho motion of Mr.. Horr to
strike out the proviso limiting the CON-
pensation paid for mail transportation to
land grant roads to 30 per cent that al
lowed to other roads.
MIR. Holman (dem., Ind offered as a
substitute for the motion an amendment
including within the 80 per cent limita-

Union Pacific systems, and providing
that no right now exinting in favor of

Mr.. Townsend, (dem. Ill., in the
course of his speech in support of the
bill, went briefly into a history of the
star route frauds, which he claimed had
been unearthed by a democratic con-
gress.
Mr., Reed (rep. Me.) reviewed the
status of affairs at the time of the demo-
cratic investigation of the star u
frauds. He said every time the republi-
can party found a criminal within its
ranks it pursued him. [Derisive laughter
and shouts of "Ohi" on the democratic
side, together with a suggestion that
that would break up the party.]
Mr.. Blackburn dem. KY reviewed,
in an interesting manner, the history of
tho proceedings in the house at the time
of the Brady investigation.
Mr.. Harris motion was lost.
When Mr.. Horn arose to discuss the
pro forma amendment he was cried down
by the democratic side.
The republican side returned the COM
pliment when Mr. Townshend arose to
speak.

section was completed it became evident
that the bill could not be finished this
evening, and the committee rose.

A Mighty Undertaking.

PARIS, December 2.-The official bull
letin Of the Panama Canal Company gives
a resume Of the statements of Commander
Gorringe, formerly of the United States
navy, which we're published sometime ago
in America, giving the result of his in
spection of work on the canal up to
July of this year. At that time only one
seventeenth part of the actual cutting of
the canal had been finished, while the
expenses so far incurred amounted tie one-
sixth of the estimated total outlay, Com
mander Gorringe concluded that the canal
eventually would cost $500, 600, 900, and
be completed at the latest by January /,
1890. The American contractor, Nathan
iel Mckay, reports 10000 natives of the
Carribee Islands employed in piercing the
Is.hmus. They are mostly occupied in
cutting immense trenches through the
hills which will be carried down to a level
with the ocean. When this work is fin
ished and the River Charges has been
turned from its source the most arduous
part of the undertaking will be over.

LOUISVILLE. December 9Th,
Courier Journals staff correspondent in
vestigating the plague in Eastern Ken
lucky. send the following tonight regard
ing a war now in progress in Letchei
county, KY; Hon. james II. Tnsley,
of Barboursville, and Colonel Robert f.
Boyd, of London, returning home from
Whitesburg, Letcher county, gave infor-
nation of a very warlikc state of affairs at
Whitesburg, the town being filed with
armed men, and a bloody fight imminent.
Judge Finlay, of Williamsburg, a famous
mountain jurist. is Judge of this circuit,
and for two years past has never dared to
go to Whitesburg to hold Court, because
of threat made by one Of the most des-
perzte men in the county to kill him il
he ever entered it. Recently
this man fell a victim to the prevailing
plague, aad after his death Judge Finlay
again went to Letcher. At this term of
the Letcher Court the man was to be
tried for murder. He wa out on bail
and his friends, all men Of the same des-
perate stripe as the murderer, determined
that he should not be punished. The case
was set for Wednesday, and on that day
the accused came marching into town
earring a double barrelled shotgun aud
his belt full of REVIEWERS, followed by a
score Of his friends, who were armed to
the teeth. The arrival Of the murderer
and his armed band was followed almost
Immediately By another of the same size
and all carrying shotguns and pistols.
This gang was composed Of friends of the
victim. They vent into camp on a bluff
overlooking and commanding the town.
Meantime a third band, composed of
citizens who thought the law should
be allowed to take it away and peace pre-
served even if they had to kill every des-
parade in the county to secure that end"
organized and armed themselves and went
on duty to stay until after court had ad-
journed. Several CORY engagements have
been played between the members of it
and outsiders, and on Monday
a pitched battle was 30 imminent that the
guns Of theopposing squad were aimed for
fight, but the ARRAY was avoided for the
time. Whitesburg is a remote spot far
from a telegraph station, and later news
than the above regarding the situation

Burglarized the Penitentiary.

New YORK, December 2.-Three of
the burglars concerned in the recent rob
berry at the Kings County Penitentiary
have been arrested. They are known to
the police as McKeon, Pettibone and
Connors. All admit of participation in
the crime and informed the police how
the job was done. 1t seems that, having
gained access to the Penitentiary grounds,
they tried for some, but unsuccessfully,
to throw a string over the iron bars Of the
windows Of the stove shop. Then they
went to the rear and filed the bars off the
window through which they entered and
stole money from the drawer in the Office
where pettibone saw it placed the day be-
fore. 1t being then late they decided not
to attack the safe and left the way they
came. The men will be turned over to
the Brooklyn authorities. Two others OF
the burglars are being looked for by the
police.

1t very often occurs during the hummer
season that young children die from the
effects of the heat. The parents have no
plat in any cemetery and are not able TO
buy one. They are wen unable to leave
their work to accompany their child's body
to the grave. The law says that a burial
must take place outside Of the city limits,
and so the parents go to an undertaken for
assistance. He consents to buy a grave and
bury the child in it for SIS or $50. By hard
pinching the family manages to scrape to-
gether the sum. After the funeral service
he takes the body to his shop in a neat coffin,
and there transfers 1t to a deal box, and by
something which he terms a pull with one Of
the minor officers of the department of chart
ties and corrections, has IL taken to the
potter's field at a cost OF perhaps s.. He
pockets the remainder, and when the parents
OF the child desire to visit their dead the

elusive part of Cypress Hills, and they waste
their tears over a strange child This thing
Is done daily, and 1t is known by the authori-
