WASHINGTON, July S.-Chairman
Matson, Of the Invalid Pensions Com
mittee, is determined to insist upon the
reference of all Of the vetoed pension
bills to that committee, and when the
House meets tomorrow he will again
make a motion to refer each case. The
Democratic leaders arc requested TO
"stay here all the summer if necessa-
~" as one Of them put it, before
abandoning their position in the mat
ter" The Republicans who have been
most active in the effort to secure imme-
date action on the vetoed bills have
proposed compromise, which will
probably be accepted. Under its terms
two hours will be allowed for debate
upon such Of the bills as may be Sc
!ected, and at the expiration Of the time
an aye-and-no vote will be taken, the
result Of which is to be regarded as
final as TO all OF the vetOes.
The Committee on Accounts Of the
House of Representatives, as aresult OF
its investigation into the conduct Of the
Offices Of Doorkeeper, Clerk, and Ser
gesnt-at-Arms of the House, has decided
10 recommend the consolidation of the
two House document-rOoms under one
head. rs report will also call atten-
ton to the fact that employees have
been borne on rolls without rendering
service, and members Of the committee
believe that no recommendation will be
Necessary to secure reform in this re-
spect. The report will recommend that
the changes go into effect at the begin
ming Of the next session.

A Batavia IN. W special says: Will
liam Enright, stonecutter, and August
sehaerf, tailor, were with q dozen
friends at Charles Blumerick's saloon
last night. Beer flowed freely, aud by
. o'clock many Of the party felt the in-
fiuence oft. Blumerick loaded al old
revolutionary musket with powder and
paper wads and Schaerf fred it of, the
loud report frightening the men, espe-
cially negro who was one OF the par
ty. At EnIieht's suggestion the
weapon was loaded once more to scare
the negro. The men were sitting
on porch in front of the saloon, and
the first charge took effect in the
hollow post that was made Of seven
eighth-inch pine, tearing hole 10 1.-two
inches in diameter. Schaerf fred the
second shot when nobody expected 1t,
and the charge struck Enright, who was
leaning sgainst the shattered post. 1t
entered his back near the left shoulder
blade, broke two ribs, and lodged IN
bis left lung, making a wound nearly
three inches enc way and about two
inches the other. Enright fell to the
ground, and his Companions, not know
ing he was hurt, laughed heartily at his
faithful PRESERVATION Of an injured man.
When it was learned that he was wound
cd he was carried into the saloon, where
he died in twenty minutes.
Schaerf was arrested, and upon ar
raigument to-day pleaded not guilty to
manslaughter in the second degree. His
examination was set down for next
Wednesday. An autopsy disclosed that
death was caused by paper wad, and
the coroner's jury rendered a verdict
that Enright's death was due to the
culpable negligence Of Schaerf. En-
right was fOrty-nine years old and
leaves a widow, who has been sick for
months and is in a critical condition,
and three daughters. He was dis
charged by his employers for drunken
ness last Saturday. Schserf is Ger

INV teleprapn 10 the Dlspatch.l


NEw YORK, July 8.-The trial Of
the seyes,een bohemian boycotters OF
Mrs. Landgraf, the baker, was continued
here to-day. The courtroom was
crowded with sympathizers of the
prisoners and the atmosphere was OPP
pressiye. The prisoners watched the
proceedings intently, although utterly
unable to understand word that was
said.
The witnesses were not, on cross
examination, positive in their identiii-
cation of some Of the boyCotters, and
on behalf of these the counsel for the
defence moved their discharge. The
counsel for the prosecution said they
had proved no overt act against the
men who had called Oh Mrs. Landgraf
the first time.
Judge Barrett said he would dis
charge them. lie then discharged from
custody six of the men, who disap'
reared out of the court very quickly.
Counsel for defence then moved for the
discharge of the other defendants on
various grounds, but this was denied by
the Court. The prosecution elected to
drop the other counts and try the re-
naming prisoners on the ground OF
conspiracy only.

Natural Gas Versus Coal.

by Telegraph 10 the Dlspacu.l
PITTSBURGH, Pa, July S.-The
use Of natural gas in the manufactures
of this city has done away with the con-
sumption Of lS9,Sj0 bushels Of coal
day. In $50 working days, which is
considered year by the manufacturers,
the whole amount of coal displaced
would run up to 47,450,000 bushels.
Calculating 100 bushels to be an ave-
rage days output for coal miner, it
would take l 600 coal miners TO dig this
coal, but altogether the use of natural
gas has thrown about 5000 men out of
work in this region. 1t required tho
use of 633 railroad cars to transport
the black diamonds.

4 St. Louis special says: The mo-
ton to dismiss the cases Of the An.
archists charged with unlawful assem-
bly, and endorsing the action Of their
Chicago brethren during the Haymar-
ket rot was argued this afternoon in
the Court Of Criminal Correction.
Judge No0nan sustained the motion to
dismiss, holding there vas nothing to
show that the alleged unlawful rcso-
lutions as offered were adopted. 1t
would be impossible to prove the
Chicago trouble without trying the
Chicago cases over in this city. The
pleadiDgs were unsound and the method
Of presenting the pleadings impracti-
cable. If the resolutions were only
offered and not adopted, the sentiments
expressed therein were merely opinion,
and every one was entitled to his opin-
ion in this country. This Government
was strong enough at any rate, and
there was no use inspiring timidity by
paying attention to the vaporings Of a
few men who held peculiar views on
social and political questions. 1t was
time enough TO prosecute when they
we're guilty Of some overt act.

TROUBLE IN ARKANSAS.
a Race Conflict Tnrentoncd-Negro
Labor Uprising.
IBy telegraph to the Dispatch.


ST. LOUIS, July S.-A special from
Little Rock, Ark, says 1t was sup
posed that the trouble at the Tate plan
tstion had ended, and that the striking
negro Knights Of Labor had become
pacifed and would return TO work, their
master workman having so advised.
Just the reverse, however, seems now
to be the condition Of affairs, and many
believe that this county is on the verge
Of one Of the blOodiest race conflicts that
has occurred since the war.
Intelligence has arrived from the
neighbOIAoOd Of the late trouble that
the striking negroes, reinforced By
many sympathizers from surrounding
farms and plantations, numbering fully
LOCO in all, have made complete pre-.
parations for q general uprising some
time to-day or tomorrow that they
are fully armed, and will attempt TO
redress their wrongs and grievances by
directing their attention first to Sheriff
Worthen, who recently subdued the
strikers. They will next advance upon
the farms of Morry and Fox, with the
intention Of burning their crops, barns,
and houses, and others who have in-
CURED their enmity will be visited and
treated in like manner.
The negroes have been openly buy
ing arms and ammunition within the
past few days, and they state that if
they are opposed in their campaign OF
vengeance they will be freely used.
Sheriff Worthen called public meet
ing last night and stated these facts, at
the same time requesting those who
were willing 10 join his posse to hand
him their names. About one hundred
men responded to his call and were
sworn in as special deputies.
AT the first intimation Of an out
break among the blacks posse will
proceed to the scene Of the trouble and
attempt to quell the disturbance, and
bloodshed will doubtless follow. The
Governor has been called upon TO order
out the militia, but refuses to do so
until some actual trouble shall have oc-
CURED. Some of the farmers in the
vicinity Of the Tate plantation have
prepared to resist the negroes, while
Others have removed their families and
yaluables to places Of safety. Degel-
opments Of to-day are anXiOusly await

Failure, of Spectators In 81. Louis.

A special from st. Louis says By
the recent rapid advance in wheat Chi
csgo dealers have squeezed "S2, O0O,-
600 from st. Louis operators. The lat
Ter have been big bears, and on the de-
cline few months ago made an i'm
mense sum. They were not satisfied,
however, and were certain wheat was
going to sixty-fye cents. Two weeks
ago syndicate was formed in Chicago,
and week ago began operations. St.
Louis had been selling immense lines
short. Suddenly the market went up,
advancing ten cents in four days. The
St. Louis traders attempted to cover,
but paid dear for the privilege. They
then started in to buy, and after they
loaded up at the top figures the market
broke on the curb over two cents and
demoralized them again. j. X. Lewis
& Co. failed, and several other firms
are ia trouble.
