WHEELING. W. Va, Dec. %.
The second horrible outrage and robbery
by hooded highwsymen in the past three days
has reused the people of Wheeling to terri
BILE pitch of excitement. On Sunday six
masked men entered the house of Mrs.
Workenour in the east end and after horribly
beating the family stole about $1,000 in gold.
Last night tour men, evidently of the same
gang, broke into the house of Elijah Marling
bachelor miser of this county, and finding
only Sls2 on his person, put him to the most
horrible torture to force him to reveal the
hiding plabe of his gold. He was tied to the
bed post, stripped and a red hot poker was
applied to his back and thighs in no less than
twenty places. Hot oil was also poured down
his back and his sufferings were terrible in
the extreme. He evidently had no money
concealed or this would have brought it. In
anger at their failure the burglars struck the
victim heavy blow on the head and left him
hanging in his fsstenings in an insensible
condition. He was found six hours later nearly
frozen aed halt dead, and his condition is
critical. Marling is nearly 60 years of
age. These high-handed robbers work with
impunity, as all efforts to capture them seem
useless.

PORTY-ElGHTH CONGRESS-.
Second Session.
sen ATE.
WAsHISGroN. Dec. %

NAsHiSGTOS. Dec 70.
The chair laid before the Senate this morn
ing the memorandum Of the American Asso-
citation for tine advancement of science, urg-
ing the extension of the coast and Geodetic
survey TO all the States.
Mr.. Jones presented the memorials of the
journal commercial associations of New Or
leans. protesting against the ratification Of
the Spanish treaty.
MIR. Vest submitted concurrent resolu-
ton providing that congressional speeches
shall be printed as delivered, with the excep-
tion of verbal amendments, and when speech
es are withheld for revision for more than
one week. the speech shall be printed as
deliverd; referred to the committee on print
ing.
In the debate on the resolution, Mr.. Vest
said he had no idea that such a resolution
would pass both Houses. He criticised se-
verely the action of several members in tax
ing advantage of the privilege of printing
undelivered speeches to introduce extraneous
matters. He charged that at the last session
a member, after delivering few sections of
a speech, supplemented them with all the
chapters on tariff contained in Biaines book,
and had them thus printed at the public ex-
pense. Copies of that speech, he said, were
sold by campaign companies at ten cents a
the mails. Another instance cited was where
identically the same speech appeared. printed
as having been delivered by two members.
Some members of a literary lobby had sold
copies OF a speech to two different men.
Mr.. Hawley remarked that any copies of
speeches sent out by campaign companies
were paid for.
Mr.. Vest asked whether it was not time
that thev were franked through the mails.
Mr.. Hawley replied that he believed 1t was
the custom OF both political parties in dis
tributing copies Of congressional speeches to
frank them.
Mr.. Hale called up the naval appropria-
ton bill as reported yesterday bv him from
the committee on appropriations. He ex-
planned it to be the regular and usual appro-
priation bill as perfected by the House, but
modified so as to cover only the last half of
the year.
The bill was passed.
Mr.. Morgan, from the committee on public
lands. reported favorably with amendments
the bill to forfeit the lands granted to the
New Orleans, Baton Rouge & Vicksburg
Railroad company
Mr.. Van Wyck moved to make special
order for Jan 8 the next bill heretofore re-
ported from the judiciary committee, declar-
ing subject to State taxation the lands grant
ed by the act of July |, 1862, ''to aid in the
construction of railroad and telegraph line
from the Missouri river to the Pacific ocean,
and to which the companies were to become
entitled TO the lands on the payment of the
cost of surveying; agreed to.
The Senate then went into executive ses-
sion and later adjourned.

A SOUTHERN CYCLONE.
The People of Macon, Ga, Receive a
Terrible Fright.

New YORK. Dec. 22
A special to the Morning Journal from Ma
con, Ca, says that horrible cyclone passed
over this section of the State Monday after
noon, demolshing everything in its path.
About o'clock a large iunnel-shaped cloud
WAS seen nearing the city. As it grew near
er and darker people became paralized with
fear, and the scene was one never to be for
gotten. Men rushed home from business,
and women and children shrieked for help,
the city grew dark and it seemed at one
time as though night had begun. Suddenly
a report like distant thunder rent the air. as
it passed around towards the southwest and
disappeared. Meagre reports received indi-
cate that terrible storm occurred at the
farm of David Birdstrong. five miles from
Macon. Five house were totally demolished
Several lives were reported lost in Jones
county and other points in the track of the
cyclone. The clouds were accompanied by
heavy rain and lightning.

THEATRE BURNED.
A Heavy Loss Caused by Leaving a Gas
Jet Burning.

New YORK, Dec. 23.
Harrigan & Hart's Theatre Comique on
Broadway opposite the New York Hotel. was
entirely destroyed by fire this morning. 1t
cost Sl25, 900 1t is believed that the fire
caught from some drapery blowing into a gas
jet left burning on the stage, as the building
was all right when the watchman left it this
morning. Fifteen minutes after the fire was
discovered the roof fell in with loud crash,
which was followed in second or two by
loud explosion in the rear of the structure.
Twenty minutes later all the four walls ex-
cept that on Broadway, had fallen in. Nothing
was saved from the wreck. The books and
papers belonging to the actors fund ocia-
ton. which were in safe in a room on the
floor, are supposed to have been totally de-
stroyed. The safe in t,e treasurer's office
of the theatre was destroyed Besides the
books of the establishment some $1,000 in
money and several of Harrigan's plays were
destroyed.
1t is supposed that the total loss will be
about 100000. The internal decoration
cost $4,000, and the scenery for Majors"
which was the opening play of the new house,
was prepared at an additioesl expense of
$4,000. Since that time, the scenery for ten
plays has been added, which increases the
value of the stage settings to something like
$4,000. Besides this, the mountings of
Harrigsns new play, "McAllister's Legacy
which cost 5000, was in the house at the
time of the fire. Everything was lost. The
expensive properties and wardrobes of the
entire company were also destroyed. The
loss to Dove Braham, who had his original
manuscripts of all the music which has made
the names of Harrgan Hart famous, cannot
be estimated. The property will be total
loss TO the firm, as they had no insurance
thereon. The policy run out only a short
time ago, and in the press of business its
renewal had been neglected.
