AN EXCITING SCENE IN III LOWER
HOUSE OF THE CONNECTICUT .EGIs-
LATURE.-Hartford, Feb. An eX-
citing scene occurred IN the House this
morning. Mr.. Pigott, OF New Haven
offered a resolution instructing the Rail-
road Commissioners to ascertain and
report to the Legislature how many
free passes have been issued by railroad
companies to members of the House
since Nov. l, 1884, and to what mem
bers.
Mr.. Troup, of New Haven, moved as
an amendment that the clerk should call
the roll, and as members names were
called each should declare whether or
not he had a railroad pass in his pocket.
Mr.. Pigott said that he had offered
the resolution in good faith. Il under
stand" said he, that the committee of
this House were made up in part by an
attorney for a great railroad corporation
of this State"
When this statement was being made
the Speaker was arranging papers on
| his desk, and did not fully understand
the remark,
Mr.. Frs bic, of Pennington, called
Mr.. Pigott to order for using unparlia-
mentary language.
VIII the gentleman from New Haven
repeat his remark? said the Speaker.
Il understand that the committee of
this House were made up by orpora-
ton influence" said Mr.. Pigott.
The gentleman is called to order"
! said the Speaker.
II move that the gentleman from
New Haven't e ordered to apologize to
the II ouse," said Mr.. Frisbie.
The motion was passed unanimously.
Mr.. pigott-I ask that the apology
be delayed until the resolution is refer
red to a committee.
Mr.. Frisbie-I move that the gentle
man from New Haven be debarred from
speaking or voting in the House until
he apologies.
This was passed with but few dissent
ing votes and the previous motion was
tabled.
There was great excitement in the
House during these proceedings, TIE
members moving swiftly up and down
the aisles and gathering in groupes on
the floor discussing Mr.. Pigott's accusa-
ton. At length disorder prevailed, and
as a las resort an adjournment was
taken.

Rather Rough!

When the Cunard steamship Servia
arrived from Europe Yesterday she looked
as if she had met all the demons OF the
storm and had taken a fail out of each
With 40 cabin, 40 intermediate, and lao
steerage passengers she left Queenstown
on the afternoon Of Jan 25, with a light
breeze and plenty of steam. She made
$50 miles that day, and the next day l01
miles more. The passengers were con
graduating themselves on a pleasant voy~
aye IN a bad season of the year, when on
the afternoon of the third day a gale
arose that completed the woes OF the "a
sick ones, and kept all but sailors below
decks. The oldest seamen SAID that 1t
was dirty weather, and the inexperienced
would have given ng odds against their
ever seeing land. The storm lasted for
four days, and each succeeding day had
some peculiar feature Of its own that
tended TO increase the odds against the
vessel. On the morning OF Wednesday.
| the 2sth, a dozen seas had been shipped,
the decks were swept clear Of all movable
articles, one of the llfeboats had been
carried away, and three had been injured.
Wednesday night another boat was car
ried away, and with it the starboard side
of the iron bridge. The officer on watch
narrowly escaped going overheard, and
spent the remainder Of his watch with
very little to stand On.
On Friday, the 30th, the passengers
were becoming used to a constant state OF
terrors, and many OF the women went to
bed for the first time since the hurricane
began. Something new was necessary to
frighten them any more, but the hurrl,
cane was equal to it. Several waves
gathered together until they formed a
small mountain. The mountain fell on
the ship, crashing through the heavy
glass skylight, and in a second all the
passengers were screaming and rushing
hither and thither wading ankle deep IN
water. Two gentlemen were sleeping
with open doors. A lurch Of the vessel
filled their cabins, and they hoated out
into the saloon with Mortified faces, mag
lining themselves already sinking. When
the ship lurched the other way. and
sanded them with no water to hide them,
they scrambled back again. Some of the
passengers determined to go on deck.
There matters were getting steadily
worse. More boats had been stove IN on
the ~ssarboard side, ventilators were carrid
away, and the stays supporting the
thirty-ton smokestack were also gone.
Another heavy sea just then would have
toppled it over, and perhaps put out the
fires. To cap all. the tiller chain broke,
leaving the vessel helpless in the trough
Of the sea for over an hour.
When the vessel reached Sandy Hook,
on Wednesday evening. the passengers
collected $500 and distributed it among
the crew. Capt. Mckay, who worked
right through the storm without rest, is
to have a gold watch with his name on it
and resolutions OF thanks to all the crew
we're drawn up by William Henry Huri
bert, and signed by all the passengers.
