ANOTHER LETTER.
WASHINGTON, May l, 1886.

The House was thrown into wild
state of excitement over the personal
antagonism between Mr.. ONeil, the
Chairman of the Labor Committee,
and Mr. Foran, who is next on the
Committee. Mr. O'Neil, in n speech
some time ago, spoke very signifi-
cantly of ''some ono" who pretended
to represent labor organizations on
the flo or of the House, who wanted
TO sec labor troubles settled by blood
shed. They have been growing at
each Others heels since then, and 1t
has been generally understood that
Mr.. Foran would force the fighting
on the floor of the House.
When, to-day, Mr.. Foran arose to
a question of privilege everybody
knew what to expect, and the ring
was formed about the contestants.
The whole house closed in around
them. Every seat on the Republican
side of the House was vacant, and
the members had crowded over to the
scene of strife. Before Mr.. Foran
had finished his explanation a point
of order was made and he was ruled
out of order upon the grounds that
no charge had been made against
him affecting his character as n Rep
resentative.
Mr.. Beach would not allow unani-
nous consent to be given for him to
proceed, and he was taken off the
floor. The disappointment OF the
members who had expected to see
fight was painful. Suddenly M. Col
Inns quick wit suggested u way out
of the difficulty SO that the fight
could 90 on. "Mr. Speaker" he said,
"if I now CHARGE directly against bhe
gentleman from Ohio what the gen
tleman from Missouri implied, can he
then claim the privilege of the foo? =
1t was held that he might arise to a
question Of personal explanation II
anything had been said affecting his
character. "Then, Mr.. Speaker,
said Mr.. Collins, II will make any
charges necessary to give him the
floor" This raised laugh, and Mr..
Foran thanked him.
But the Speaker would not allow
any trifing, and after Mr.. ONeil had
had about ten minutes talk in reply
TO what Mr.. Foran had already said,
the matter was hushed up and the
House fell back to its customary
quiet.
Mr.. Morrill, called up in the Senate
this week the bill to appropriate
$500, 900 for the erection immediate
ly south of the executive mansion o.
another building of equal size and

present building by corridor, anC

The Memphis Avalance, abiding to the
Atlanta affair, says: "The Savannahs
must have had very good reasons indeed
to let their remaining three games with
Atlanta go by default, and it will proba-
bly, tend to show Purcell and his crowd
that to be successful in the South base
ball must be played upon the merits of
the game. The astonishing part of the
whole matter is that Atlanta should act
in such an arbitrary manner when they
have equally as good club as Savannah,
and the games were to be played upon
their own grounds, which, as every one
posted knows, is decided advantage.

A Car with a History.

The funeral car which conveyed the re-
mains of President Lincoln from Wash
ington to Springfield, ILL.,, is now used on
the Kansas Pacific railroad to carry Sec
ton men from point to point. When first
constructed in 1864 as a directors car al
a cost of $4,000, it was one OF the hand
soonest DIV its kind in the country. In
1866 it was sold to the late Henry 5. Nc
Comb, the well known railway operator
and was used to convey T. G. Durant and
others from, New York to point on the
Union Pacific, where talk was
had with the Indians who were obstruct
ing the progress of the building of the
road. 1t was retained at Omaha as ar
officers car until 1869. 1t was then
changed into an emigrants' car, in which
service it remained until 1874. 1t was
then sold for $4,000 to the Colorado Cen
trail. The old car has been knocked
around from place to place, al every move
descending lower and lower until now, II
its battered old age, it transfers the sec
ton hands from point to point over tht

"Society Ladies'"

Many of the ladies OF Savannah prefer
remaining at their comfortable homes and
enjoying the breezy days and cool, pleas
ant nights than suffer the discomforts and
fatigue which are incident TO all pleasure
resorts.
The great craze all over the country at
present, and which is taking the place OF
all other light work among the more fash
ionable ladies', is painting in oil and wa
ter cOlors, and no more pretty or fasci-
mating work can be done that goes farther
towards making the home attractive.
Our sales are largely increasing in art
materials, of which we keep full and
complete stock. We have books of in
srucuon giving all necessary informa-
ton in the system of water color paint
ing. The art OF portrait, landscape, ma
riue, flower and animal painting. The
art Of painting and drawing IN colored
crayons, and the principles OF coloring in
painting.
We supply everything necessary for the
successful prosecution Of the art IN all it's
branches, and our stock and prices will
compare with any in the country.

"a CHURCH KEY IN COURT.
baptist BRETHREN AND SIS
TIERS HAVE A FALLING OUT.


srhe Union and Macedonian ConEreGa'
tions Settle Their Din .reDoes in n jus
tice's Court-A Candidate for Church
Msmbership Collared by the Police
While Relating His Experience.
The Union Baptist church. colored, is
united no longer. Sunday night two men,
beers we're arrested and yesterday one
lpart of the flock got out pOssessory war
rant for the church key. Nearly all OF
the brothers and sisters were Interested
spectators when the case was called IN
Magistrate Molina's court.
TIE congregation is composed OF the
original Union Baptist Association and
1.-THE Macedonian congregation. A few
months ago the two congregations were
apart. The Union flock worshiped in
house on Anderson street. They had
agreed TO pay "a a month rent, but they
got two months behind. Then the Mace
domains agreed to unite with the Union
congregation and pay all the back rent.
NOT A BRoTHERLY FEELING.
Thenceforward they worshiped to-
gether, but there was not that harmony
between the fiocks that their doctrines
,enjoined. The Macedonians thought that
las they were paying the bills they ought
10 control matters.
Last Sunday night the Uuionists. who
kept the key, invited a pastor to fill the
pulpit. During the preaching Deacon
FGroves, of the Macedonian branch, slipped
the key out OF the door When the regu-
Jar service we4 over the Macedonians
started in to hold meeting. There had
been bad feeling between the divisions
and some OF the Unionists decided to stop
the extra meeting. Several OF the Union
lists had gone out and when they started
TO 90 into the churcn again they found the
door locked.
THE POLICE CALLED IN.
A policeman was called and Deacon
Groves was persuaded TO open up. Mis-
siOnary Herbert seemed to be in charge.
"A candidate for membership had the floor
and was relating his experience prepare
tory to being enrolled. Herbert, accord
lng to his own statement, WAS hauled
from behind the table and taken to the
barracks with Treasurer Burden.
Monday morning Mayor Lester dis
missed both. The Unionists were still
dissatisfied and they invoked the law to
get possession Of the key. which was still
held by Deacon Groves, who is also the
clerk and trustee OF the church.
THEY GO SEPARATE WAYS.
After examining about all the preach
lers and deacons of the flock the magis-
ltrate suggested that the two factions
should come to some agreement between
themselves. 1t was first proposed that
lOne party should occupy the church one
Sunday and the other party should take
dts turn the next Sunday. That was not
satisfactory, and finally the MacedOnians
concluded to draw out, turn the key over
10 the Unionists and let them have the
place all to themselves.
