dark as either Lincoln OF
WASHINGTON, May 1S.-It is the T..
ent policy Of the leaders on the demo-
cratic side Of the house to adjourn some
time the last Of June, or by the 1st Of
July at the latest. Speaker Carlisle says
SO far as he Is concerned congress shall
not be in session later than the 1st of
July 1t is the determination of the
democratic side to attend to the legiti-
mate and regular business of the session,
and adjourn several days before the dem
ocratic national convention. To do this,
much of the business mapped out for the
session will have to be abandoned. This
policy has been fully developed in the
past week or two in the house. 1t can
safely be predicted that nothing will be
done with the Hewitt tariff bill and res
olution. Chairman Morrison has already
expressed himself very plainly on the
subject of making any further attempts
to pass tariff legislation, and he will now
probably allow the matter to 60 entirely
by default. Chairman Randall is rush.
idg appropriation bills through as rapidly
as possible, and hopes to have them all
ready and reported to the house in the
next week or two. The legislative, ex-
ecutive and Judicial bill will be reported
tomorrow and the sundry civil bill in a
few days. The general deficiency bill
will follow soon, and these will constitute
the bulk of the appropriation bills. If
anything else is done it will have to be
sandwiched between these measures. 1t
Is extremely probable that the house will
not pass bankruptcy bid. and the anti
subsidy bill will, very probably. be neg
lected the rest Of the session.

His visit was for the purpose of ascertain.

his opinion that the whole basin including
Pyramid and Mud lakes, and the sinks of
the Humboldt and Carson rivers, was u
prehistoric lake, which he calls Lake La

Emancipation Celebration at
Steelton-A Gala Day.

The emancipation celebration wa:
a grand success in every particular
| The patriotic order which character.
lied the celebration during tina day
continued during the evening 10 spite
OF the drizzling rain, slush, mud and
mist of darkness. The evening trains
brought numbers from Harrisburg
to participatate In the festival or ball
as they might be inclined. The ex
ercises at the festival were opened
by the entrance of the Swatara lodge
in full regalia under the direction of
Maj. John W. Simpson, M. V. P. as
master of ceremonies, who directed
the grand march of the order with
success. The beautiful reealia of
the members and the goddess OF
liberty represented by Miss Brown
and score of Misses denoting each
state IN the union, guarded by
troop of young lads with colored
sashes was a splendid scene, calcu-
lated to inspire patriotism and rever-
ence for the 2lst anniversary of the
proclamation of freedom in the United
States. Prof l.. E. McGinnis princi-
pie Of the Steelton schools read the
emancipation proclamation aud Mr..
George Hines delivered an able ad-
dress. The mirth and good humor
which prevailed was a striking con-
trast to the inclement weather which
almost threatened to hinder all pleas
ure. At the hall where the btll was
in progress the many participate wed
with each other in their best for the
enjoyment of the occasion. Promptly
at 8 P M. the soul inspiring strains
from the orchestra foated upon the
air and soon the many lovers of the
terpsicorean art responded to its invi-
tatiou and like many spirits they
glided into the waltz with dress,
beauty and grace TO behold. The
grand march was led by Mr.. Chas.
Popel of Harrisburg and Miss Gross
of Steelton winning praise for the
graceful manner in which they CON
Quoted it. Among the ladies present
from Harrisburg were Misses Mary
Adley. Marie Simpson, Agnes Saund

Dragged from the Pulpit.

NEW HAVEN, Dec 31.-There has
been trouble in the Bethel African
Methodist Episcopal Church ever
since the Rev. William GOosley be-
came its Pastor. Previous to his
coming the church had been prosper
Gus financially, but under his admin
istration the funds were exhausted
and church rows were common. Mr..
Goosley had to go, and was followed
by the Rev. Andrew J. Chambers.
The troubles did not cease. Mr..
Goosley and family lived 10 the par
sonage and some of the household
goods were wanted to furnish Mr..
Chambers house. The Goosleys
would not give them up, and a legal
fight ensued, which brought half the
congregation into the Police Court
Last August Mr.. Chambers was COM
PEELED to resign, and since then the
Bethel Church has been without a
pastor. The Trustees have frequently
importuned Bishop Brown, who is at
the head of the New England Confer
ence, to send them a minister. No
notice being taken of the request the
Church Committee secured the servi-
ces of the Rev. Thomas H. Johnson,
of Orange, N. ~, to supply the pulpit
for three months. When Bishop
Brown heard of this unauthorized &C.
ton he appointed the Rev.John Stlaus
berry, formerly of Brooklin N. Y,
and more recently of Cambridgeport,
Mass, as Pastor of the church, This
greatly excited the people, and the
Trustees decided 10 stick to their
choice regardless of the action Of the
Bishop. When the Rev. Mr.. STAINS.
berry came before them Friday night
he was politely informed that the
church had no use for him and that
he had better 60 about his business
But his unlocked for reception did moi
disconcert the reverend gentleman.
He read to the Trustees his certificate
from Bishop Brown and announced
that he had come 70 stay.
The congregation which assembled
at the church yesterday morning was
not a large one, but the Trustees
were all there. At the time appoint
ed for the opening hymn the Rev
Mr.. Stansberry assembled the pulpit
and began the services. The preach
er tells what followed: After prayel
and two hymns ! began my sermon

PITrsBURG, Pa, Jan. 2.


The holidays have come and gone
without special events of startling
nature occurring in this neighbor-
hood, aside from the usual entertain
ments which take place at this season
of the year.
On New Years eve, about IL
O'Clock, a desperate cutting affair
took place on Ohio street, Allegheny.
1t appears that a crowd of colored
men were returning from a New
Years watch in colored church on
East street. AS they were passing
Gymnast Hall, on the corner of Ohio
and East streets, where ball was
being held, they encountered two
men named Daniel Brown and Christ
Henkie, white, standing on the pave
ment in front of the hall. As near as
can be ascertained both parties had
been drinking rather heavily, and a
quarrel ensued, the origin of which
is not known. A fight ensued and
knives were freely ensued. The po-
lice interfered aud separated them.
Charles Mahoney, William Roster,
Lewis Baltimore, Wilbert Douglass
and Lewis Hamilton, all colored,
were arrested and placed in the lock
up. Henkle and Brown, white, were
found to be badly cut. The men
have been locked up to await the re-
suit of their injuries.
On the same night. on the Fits
burg side, in the Seventeenth ward,
forty.o one colored persons were ar.
rested at ball at the house of Mrs.
Parsons. Deputy Mayor Porter fined
the whole party on the GROUND that
the house was disorderly. Twenty
six were unable to pay their fines
and were compelled to spend their
New Year in the Jail. From all re-
ports there was no disorder at the
time of the arrest, but the deputy
felt tat under the late decision oil
the Supreme Court colored people
had no rights that Democratic
deputy was bound to respect.

On Tuesday evening the Friend,

reflects great credit upon the Com

refreshments were served by com
mittee of ladies, who were present in
large numbers, showing in what high
esteem the Friendship boys are held
by the fair ones. An Orchestra OF
eight pieces, under Mr.. Edward Let
ford, furnished some excellent music,
which was taken advantage of by
many of the visitors, who tripped the
light fantastic until quite late The
Friendship psrlors are, perhaps, as
har dsomely furnished as the parlors
of any of the Gre companies in the
