THE WEEK CONGRESS-.
Some OF the Important Measures TO
Come Ip.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2i.-MOnday being
WashingtOn's birthday neither house of
congress viii be in session. The Blair ed
ueation bill remains the unfinished busi-
ness OF the senate. Should il be disposed
OF before the end OF the week Senator HOar
will try 10 secure the right of way for the
bankruptcy bill. and Senator Platt will
make like effort in behalf of the Wash
iBgtOn territory bill. Senator Mitchell of
Oregon Intends to address the senate on
Tuesday upon the Chinese question. and
Senator Frye will seek an opportunity dur
ing the week To MAKE a speech on the fish
cry question. The house OF representatives
Is likely 10 devote the week 10 the cOnsid-
Grafton Of appropriation bills. The COM
mittee on appropriations expects 10 report
the immediate deficiency bill Tuesday. and
will endeayOr TO have it considered and
passed on that day. The pension and In
dian appropriation bills. now on the calen-
dar. will probably be taken up in the order
named. During the morning hours it is eX-
pected that the Hennepin canal bill will be
called up and discussed. The debate on
that measure will without doubt wholly
consume the two hours allowed for discus
sion under the rules, and the bill will then
take its place on the house calendar as un-
finished business. If the committee on Pa
citic railways is reached in the morning
hour Mr. Con will call up the bill relative
TO the compulsory survey and patenting OF
lands granted 10 the Pacific railroad com
pan.es. The various appropriation bills
are rapidly approaching completion in COM
mittse, and ii is probable that the military
academy, army, consular and diplomatic
aud pOstofiice Appropriation bills will be re-
ported 10 the house during the week and
placed ON the calendar.

Miraculous Escape.

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 21.-Edward Ash
ley, a Clinton county, Michigan, drOver.
boarded the Canada Southern night express
at Buffalo last evening and went to bed in
the sleeper At l o'clock this morning he
got up and startedfOr the door in SOmnam-
bulistic state. The porter watched him Curl
Ously for a moment and then started after
him, but just as the porter grabbed for him,
the drover jumped OF the platform into the
snow. The train was going at the rate OF
forty-fve miles an hour. The porter rushed
through and told the conductor, but as the
man was thought TO have been instantly
killed. the conductor concluded it was un-
necessary to stop. At the next station the
conductor telegraphed back for the agent
at Attercliffe, near which station the man
jumped of, to send out and get the remains
and ship them on 10 Detroit. Then the
conductor took the names of all the wit
nesses necessary for the inquest. Just as
the Attercliffe agent got the message, a
very cold and scantily-clad man walked
into the station, and when he got warmed
and his teeth stopped chatteTing he told
the astOnished agent that he wished the
conductor of the fast express TO take charge
of his clothes and affects in his sleeping
berth. Ashley was unhurt, having landed
in a deep snow bank. He said he walked
in his sleep.

THE NEGRO WINS.
Senator Call Beaten by a Sable
SOutherner.

Special TO the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Commissioner
Sparks latest novelty is decision in a
homestead entry made by Senator Call of
Florida, by which the senator loses title to
a good piece of land, and poor eOlOred
man gains what the senator loses, perhaps,
a great deal more. for tile latter has his
home on the land in question, while the
senator has roof here in Washington To
shelter his head. Nov. IL. 1873. Robert
Swain, an ignorant cOlOred man, filed a
pre- -emption declaratory statement at the
GAINESVILLE, Fla. land Office for certain
tract OF land, alleging settlement Oct. 10,
1879, and the register gave him
the usual certificate wherein he was nOti-
fied that he had thirty months
from date of his settlement within which 10
pay for his land. Swain was living on the
land and had a house and other valuable
Improvements upon it. Dec. L, 1850,
nearly eilh cen months before the expira-
ton of the thirty months mentioned in
Swaim's certificate, Wilkinson Call. then
and now a United States senator for the
state Of Florida. entered this same land as a
homestead. There is no evidence that he
had ever had a residence on it, and if the
last congressional directory is correct he
certainly lives elsewhere. His entire claim
was based upon the assertion that, not
withStanding the certificate given Swain,
the latter had forfeited his claim because
he had not paid for it within a year. A
contest ensued. evidence was taken and the
case reached the general land Office. The
commissioner unhesitatingly decided the
case in favor Of Swain and refused to re-
cede, although importuned by Call.

PITTsBURG. Feb. 21.-Shortly before z
o'clock tonight, people living in the Vi
cinity of Mulberry alley and Twenty-second
strees were startled by the report of four
shots in quick succession. This was fol-
lowed by the screams of children coming
from the home of David Wilson. a crowd
soon collected. and, forcing their way into
the house, they were hOrrihed TO find Mr..
and Mrs. Wilson lying on the floor uncon-
scious, with bullet wounds in their heads.
In the husbands hand a small revolver,
tightly clasped. told the story. Medical aid
was summoned, but before the physician
reached the house. Mrs. Wilson was dead.
Wilson was insensible, and has not yet re-
covered consciousness. He will probably
die. Poverty is believed to have been the
cause of the tragedy. Wilson has been out
of employment for seventeen months, and,
as he had six children. it is thought he be-
came discouraged. The children say their
father came home under the influence of
liquor, and after supper ordered them 10
bed. Shortly after they heard loud words
and then the pistol shots.

AFTER GOODIES SCALP.
Serious Talk OF His Rejection by the
senate.
Special to the Globe.

WAsHNGTON. Feb. 21.-SOme of the
Republican senators are imagining that they
nave got the department of justice on the
hip. They propose 10 reject the nominal
tiun OF Solicitor General GOOde on the
ground that the refusal of the attorney
general 10 send papers Ia the senate leaves
the senate entirely in Ignorance as TO Mr..
Goodies qualifications for the Office If
these gentlemen would be i'm less of a hurry
10 get into a quarrel with the adininiStra-
ton they would have time enough 10 read
the letters sent TO the senate by
the encouragement and the secretary
of the interior. This administration
has not refused the senate any
information needed by il in the discharge of
its duties. One of its duties is TO confirm
or reject persons nominated 10 office by the
president. All the information the senate
has asked for in regard to persons appointed
10 Office has been cheeTfully furnished. In
regard to removals the senate has no duty
To perform at all, and so no information
about removals has been furnished to it.
All the information the senate wants about
Mr.. GoOde it can get, in accordance with
the usage of this as of all other administra-
tons. The worst that the Republican SEN
ators threaten TO do is to reI@ss te confirm
persons whose predecessors were
SUSPENDED FOR isEAsoNs
which the administration does not transmit
to the senate. Mr. Goode did not succeed a
removed Republican official. and there is no
principle laid down i'm the Edmund's report
which requires Mr.. Goodies rejection. But
some years ago his right 10 a seat in con-
greSs was contested, and the evidence con-
vinced Mr.. Thompson OF Massachusetts, a
Democratic member of the election commit
tee. that Mr.. Goodies apparent election was
procured by fraud and intimidation, and
that he ought not to be seated. And Mr..
Thompson made n strong speech against
him. Some of the Republican senators
are determined under no circumstances TO
confirm any of what they call the Southern
bulldoZers. and the history of the Platte VS..
GOode contested election case from Virginia
is being Overhauled. 1t is also charged
that after Mr.. Cleveland'S election and
before MS own appointment as solicitor
general, Mr.. G0Ode used his influence as an
attorney To procure the appointment of a
bank examiner. His friends say that there
is no room for any suggestion of impro-
priety in Mr.. Goodies connection with this
case. The two NiTginian senators are not
often agreed, but they are entirely united
in their cordial hostility 10 Mr.. GoOde.

the remark as all idle bit of pleasantly and
soon left for his professional duties. Two
hours later one of the children entered
Mrs. Wilson's room and found her lying in
pools of blood. She had severed the large
arteries in both her arms just between the
elbows and shoulders, and had horribly
gashed her throat her husbands razor haV-
ing been used in the act. DIR. Wilson was
hastily summoned home and several other
surgeons called in. The arteries were sewed
