Last month new company waS
formed under the General Corpor-
alton Law of louisiana, entitled
1.-The North, Central and South
American Exposition"
This company has purchased the
buildings and property used by tho
Worlds industrial and Cotton Cen
tennial Exposition, at New Orleans,
and will open in November 1885,
and close March 81, 1856.
The leading object of the new
Exposition is to develop more init
mate trade relations between the
United States and Mexico.
1t appears from official facts and
figures that Of the total exports to
Mexico, South and Central America,
and the West India Islands, tho
United States supplies but Is per
cent, and of the total annual exports
of these countries the United States
takes but 50 per cent. In other words
the exchanges of Central and South
America are mainly with Europe.
The capital of the new company is
100000, with the privilege of in
ereasing the amount should it be
desirable. The stock is mainly held
by the merchants and bankers Of
New Orleans, and the railroads til
butary to that city. The company is
financially strong; will be conducted
On pure business principles, and
neither asks nor expests pecuniary
aid from the general government.
We trust that this new enterprise
will be successful, and will escape
the dangers and difficulties that
nearly proved fatal to the EXPOSE
ton that closed last March.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL,

Plenty Of Work For Congress to Do and
Very Little Time to DO 1t In-The Neces.
sity For an Extra Session Seems to BE In.
evitable.
WASHINGTON, d. c., February 9.--Mr,
Morril's amendment tackled on to the
House bill for redeeming the trade dol.
ar, providing that unless tho States OF
.he Latin Union agree to remonetize sill
yer before certain date the coinage of
he standard silver dollar shall be sus-
pended, has the floor in the Senate, and
will doubtless call out much more debt to
before passed upon.
The special order next on the list is
the bill to forfeit the laud grants Of the
'exas Pacific Railroad. Three OF the
fourteen principal general appropriation
bills have passed the Senate, and three
others are in the hands of the Appropria-
ton Committee. 1t depends upoT. the
report of the Committee on Rules, which
is expected to-day, and the action OF the
Senate thereon, whether any considerable
number OF the remaining bills can become
laws this session. If the Senate contin-
ues to adhere to Rule l6, which makes
the consideration of general legislative
provisions in an appropriation bill impos-
sible by the Senate, deadlock and an
extra session of Congress must ensue.
The coming week In the House prom
ises to be. an important one as affecting
the question of an extra session of Con-
yress. II the river and harbor bill is kept
before the House there is danger that the
regular appropriation bills will fail, and
II 1t is pushed aside there is danger that
its friends will obstruct legislation in or
der TO force an extra session; so that
aside from other reasons heretofore gwen
the chances of an extra session increase.
The Senate is disposed TO yield more
than usual this year in the matter of APP
propriations, and let the Democratic
House be. responsible to Democratic
administration. Heretofore the Senate
has endeayored to meet the views OF the
executive departments, and made large
additions to the House bills. The situa-
ton is now changed, and they can afford
to leave the responsibility with the
House. There is therefore but little
probability of serious conflict between
the two houses in the matter.
The greater danger lies in want of dis
cipline, If not want OF order, in the
House caucus is being talked of, but
even that would fail to harmonize the
existing factions.
The threat is made that II the river and
harbor bill is beaten Gas 1t seems now
probable), an extra session may be looked
for through the defeat Of other appro-
priation bills.
Wednesday is set for the counting of
the electoral vote which this time is mere
ly a clerical matter. The Randall rule,
under which one hour day is devoted to
passing bills, against which there are not
ten objections reduces the time for legis-
lation equal, to one day In each week, and
to that extent crowds out appropriation
bills as well as other general leg station.
II the River and Ilarbor Committee bill,
which has already occupied eight days Of
the time cf the House is sustained, 1t is
likely to use up the week.

A MERCENARY SCAMP.

The bridegroom In AN Ill-Advised Match
Would Sell His Bride for Lucre-He Wants
$4,000.
BUCYRUs, o., February 9.-Thls place
during the week has been the scene of a
domestic event that caused sensation.
The lady in the case is Miss Rcbecca, only
child of Z. II. Kearsley, ex-Auditor of
Crawford County, wealthy and respect
ed citizen. Miss Kearsley is beautiful
girl of eighteen, with a fortune in her
own right, besides being the prospective
heiress OF her fathers property. Three
weeks ago young fellow named Os-
borne, of good appearance, obtained en-
ployment at the roller-skating rink as a
professor of music.
Miss Kearsley became acquainted with
him, and on Monday last the couple W ent
before a minister and were secretly mar
ried. The young lady had arisen from
bed at midnight and stolen out of doors
to meet her lover, who took her across
the line to Logan County, where the we'd
ding ceremony was performed. She then
returned home and went to bed again un-
noticed, and the fact of the marriage only
became known three days later by the
filing of the record by the minister in
obedience TO law.
Tht lady's relatives then went to Os-
borne and asked what amount of money
he would take to leave and never come
into the nelghborhood again. He replied
that he would accept S20,000 This prob
ably gives key to his motive in urging
the girl to accept a clandestine marriage
The Kearsleys occupy a high place in
society, and are greatly mortified by the
occurrence.

DOWN TO DEATH.

r.,.,n,. Plunge of Two Pass enger Cars
Fran . Bridge-Three ,versons' Killed and
Eight More or Less Seriously injured.
CprsroN, a., February 9..-An appall.
ing accident occurred on the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railroad at sma IL
stream ten miles west of here last eve
ming. As the New York fast mail ap-
proached the bridge rail broke
beneath the forward cars Of
the train. The rear Goa ches
were thrown from the track by the 'iefec-
ton. They toppled along on the les un-
iii they were on the bridge, when the two
rear coaches and the sleeping Car fell
into the icy abyss below, carrying down
about twenty-five passen gers, many OF
whom were women and ch ndren.
The escape from general destruction
was marvellous, as the cars are badly
wrecked and the fall desperate one.
The coaches fell bottom up in the stream,
crushed through the ice, and wedging
into the chilly water, were held until the
front end of the train could be pulled out
and a relief crew returned.
The scene at the return OF the cars was
distressing in the extreme. number Of
gentlemen whose families were in the
coaches, being forward in the smoking
car at the time of the accident were ap-
prised of the terrible fate of their
wives and children by the agonizing ap-
peals for aid and screams of pain that
came from the battered mass of debris.
A force for rescue was hastily organized,
and armed with axes, strong men he,wed
their way into the imprisoned dead and
wounded
The scene on the inside of the cars was
appalling. Many who were not killed
were knocked unconscious by dismantlei
seats and debris, and lay limp and help
less. 1t was at first thought that the
number of dead was very large,
but on recovery from the wreck, and on
the arrival of medical aid which was
hastily procured by the company, many
revived and were able to be transferre to
this city where every attention is being
shown them. The following Is a list OF
the killed and wounded:
KILLED.

A Practical Joker's Tate.

LONDON, February 9.-Last night a
sentry at Woolwich Arsenal saw man
approaching whom he challenged. The
stranger made no reply, but continued to
advance. The sentry thereupon attacked
the stranger with the bayonet, running
MIN through and killing him instantly.
News OF man having been killed at the
arsenal spread rapidly, and 1t was re.
ported that he was a Fenian, who was
there Tor the purpose of blowing it up.
Investigation proved that the stranger
was a comrade of the sentry, upon whom
ne attempted to play a practical Joke,
