Conoway went to St. Clairsyille and
routed the Sheriff out Of bed at 9 o'clock
Sunday morning. He told the Sheriff he
had shot Joe McConaughey, and that he,
the Sheriff, was bound toprotect him from
the violence OF mob. He judged the
feeling Of Bridgeporters well indeed, for
he could not have lived in the town ten
minutes. Conway has been frequently
arrested by Officer McConaughey and has
several times threatened to kill him.
Conway was born and raised in Bridge
port and worked last at the Wheeling
Greek mines, two miles west Of town. He
is married and has several children.
Marshal McConnaughey Is one Of the
most popular citizens Of Bridgeport, and
performed the duties Of his office with
signal ability. He Is also married and has
large family. The news Of his fatal in
Jury will be received with regret by his
host OF friends and acquaintance on both
sides of the river,

PROCEEDINGS III CONGRESS.
Consideration OF the Indian Appropri.
alton and Other Important Bills.
An Extended Discussion of the
Grant Retirement Bill In
the House.
FOR rY-EIGHrH CONGRESS.
The Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is -Amendments to
the Army Appropriation bill were non-con-
CURED in, and Conference Committee ap-
pointed.
The Postofics Appropriation bill was laid
before the Senate aud referred. The Indian
Appropriation bill was taken up for consid-
Grafton. Mr.. Vest read a letter from the
Governor of Montana, saying that notwith-
standing the relief afforded by the Govern
ment the condition of the Indians in parts
OF Montana, from exposure and starvation,
was pitiable in the extreme. 1t was useless,
IN Mr.. Vests opinion to say: LET the In
dians work or die" That was simply saying:
''Let them de-" You might as well say to
the child in the cradle: go to work, or
die" To take a people after centuries of
barbarian, and hurl them into the intense
and terrible struggle OF civilization, and say
10 them: WORK or die, was not perform
ing our Christian duty. Mr.. Vest dikclaimed
any sentimentality, bat actual personal OBJ
servation Of the condition OF Indians in
Montana had converted him from the con-
viction that the best Indian was a dead In
dian. The condition OF these Indians was
dependent upon our Christian civilization.
We should prepare them as quickly as pos
sb g fer self-support, but IN the meantime
we ought TO keep them alive. Men who had
never handled q spade could not be expect
ed TO be self-supportiDg all at once We
were under much more Christian obligation
10 those heathens in our own territory than
TO the heather of Asia and Africa, but no
starving Indian had ever been brought to
realizing sense of Christianity.
Mr.. Plumb doubted whether so many In
dians had died of starvation as had bsen re-
ported.
Mr. Vest said there was no doubt about it
being a fact.
After further debate Mr.. Vests amend.
ment to increase the emergency fund from
SIS 600 to so, 600 was agreed 10.
Through the efforts of Messrs. blair, Vest,
and Miller of California, the Senate Com nit
tee on the Amendment Tor Striking Dat the
House Item of $4,000 for the Industrial
School st Santa Fe was disagreed to, and it
was restored to the bill.
Mr. Allison submitted Joint reso ution
sppropriating 81. 800 to defray the necessary
expenses OF the Inauguration OF the incom.
ing President, and to De expended under the
direction of the Senate Committee OF Ar.
Tangements. Referred.

jcurned.

venting General Grant from being put on
the retired list
Mr. SIocum suggested the bill had bsen
drawn by Senator Edmunds.
Mr.. Rosecraps regarded the bill as plain
proposition 10 reward General Grant for dis
tiDguished military services and IL was his
duty to say he could not vote for it 1t was
not his intention 10 resort 10 any historical
reasons why he thought General Grants
reputation had been exaggerated aad mis-.
represented, and when history came 20 be
written II would be pared down to very
to 90 into that IL bad been the
party to make Genera! Grants services
appear as large as possible. for he was their
servant. General Grant himself had pre-
pared the first two volumes Of Badeau's
Life of Grant" upon which the students
history lad placed the stamp OF untrust-
vorthiness. The public had been told Gen.
erel Rosecrans would not vote for the Grant
bill because of personal ill-wiil. He did
not think any OF bis colleagues would be-
lieve that he was capable OF descending to
the depth of being governed in public duty
by personal dKlikes. 1t had been said that
General Grant was poor; that there was
nothing between him aud the Poor-house
except the income from $3.50 600, and it had
been circulated around by his fam
lily that the $3.50, 600 had been
substantially lost to him. That was
not true. There was another critical cir.
cumstance to which he called attention.
Congress, by solemn act, was asked to arrest
what? Why, the progress of public opin-
ion for investigation in that con fidence mill
called Grant & Ward. IF the gentleman
could afford TO put ligature around that
investigation and deceive the public mind
he could not.
Mr.. Randall favored the measure because
he believed 1t to be the right procedure.
After the passage OF a few minor bills the
House adjourned.

Good milk From Ensilage.

A London paper says: Efforts are being
made 10 throw discredit on the ensiiage
system by calling in question the high quail
ity of the milk produced by cows fed on
silage. The attack can be easily refuted by
those who have bad any experience in feed
ing dairy cows on silsge. In the first place,
all ensilaged products vary in nutritive
quality and general character quite a much
as hay does. The latter substance, il made
from the mowings OF a peat morass, would
be far different from the best clover or
meadow grass hay. Just in the same way
would silage differ in accordance with char
acter OF the original material from which il
was made, which alone shows the extreme
folly any sweeping condemnation of en-
siaged products generally. But Mr.. Gibson,
the owner of an extensive dairy herd at
Saffron Walden. has abandoned very much
the growth OF mangold wurzsl for dairy
cows, because hs finds their milk when fed
on s1lage so much better. and Mr..
+ T. Blunt, of Blaby Hall, Leicss
shire, after keeping some COWS en-
tirely on silsge and others On hay
ana roots, gives as the result of his expert
ence that, while the quantities yielded by
the two lots are about similar, the ensilsgs-
fed COWS keep themselves much better IN
condition and yield from 4 TO 5 per cent.
more cream in their milk, which latter APP
pears to be quite as rich as that Yielded Dy
CRASHED COWS in summer. He adds: so
my surprise l found the percenta ye of cream
in the milk OF ensilage fed cows was higher
than that from the milk of cows fed upon
hay, roots, -four and cake" Mr.. George
Barham, manager OF the Express Dairy
Company, states that milk to the extent of
400, 600 pounds daily passes under his observa-
ton, coming from nearly all parts of the
kingdom, and some from Holland, and that
so far from the milk of ensilage-fed COWS be-
ing Objectionable to his customers, some OF
them have asked ito be specially supplied
with il because of its superior quality" On
the winter feeding of dairy cows Mr.. Bar
ham observes; THE only succulent food
hitherto available has been roots, including
ma1golds, cabbage aud turnips. / have no
hesitation in saying silsge will produce milk
of better quality and flavor than either"
