Disturbance.


Disturbance
A later dispatch from New York says:
Since the earthquake shock there has
been no telegraphic communication with
Charleston, S. c., or from any point in
that country, and the telegraph authori-
ties have been unable to get the press
dispatches or other communications from
there. This circumstance occasions great
concern. That section of the country
seems to have been the centre of tine dis
turbance. Savannah, Ga, reports that
the shock was the seyerest ever felt in
that locality. 1t is known that bridge in
the vicinity OF Charleston was shaken
from its foundations and the wires all
lost. But that is not as serious as the fact
that various other points through which
there should be communication with this
city, are unable to get anything from this
place.

Senator Daniel w. Voorhees,, is just now
N excellent humor. For years past he
has labored in season and out OF season
for the erection OF a building for the
National Library. Three times he passed

spring that the House concurred. Tho
result will be an editioe costing over
$1,000, 900. into which Librarian Spoford
will transfer upwards of half million of
books as nucleus for q Nauonal LII
brary. The collection will be rich iu his
tory, political science, Jurisprudence, and

way TO America. The library is not only
recruited by regular money appropria-
tons, averaging about $ll COO per annum,
but by two copies of every work copy
righted, and by foreign works received in
exchange Tor fifty copies OF every public
document published. 1t will be II happy
day for Senator Voorhees, when the
library is completed, but that is not the

CURED BY PRAYER AND FAITH.
Her Voice Restored TO Her After
Eight Years.


Eight Years.
WILKEsBARRE, Dec. A remarkable
case OF restoration OF speech to young
lady who had been dumb for eight years
through the agency OF faith and prayer is
reported from the neighboring village OF
Ashley, and the facts in the case are well
authenticated. Miss Kate Martin, now
10 years OF age, lost the power OF speech
through a severe illness of scarlet fever.
Many OF the pay sicisns OF the neighbOr-
hood exhausted the utmost resources of
their skill in the attempt to relieve her,
but without avail. or late years she mas
held the belief that her voice would be
restored TO her suddenly and miracu-
lOusly and has spent many hours
In prayer. She was an earnest Catholic
and, bearing OF the wonderful cures efiec-
Ted by visiting the famous chapel OF
Knock, in Western Ireland, tried TO in
duce her parents TO let her pay visit to
the snrine. Tney were too poor to do this,
but at her solicitation succeeded with
some difficulty in procuring some of the
plaster from the wall OF the chapel. This
WAS soaked ia water and on Sunday last
Katie drank freely of the water In which
the plaster had been soaked.
Alter spending the whole OF the evening
in prayer she retired, and on awakening
in the morning found her speech restored
to her in all its Iullness and power. The
first use she made OF her recovered voice
was to offer heartfelt praise to God, and
the unusual sound OF her voice issuing
from their dau ghter's room aroused her
parents, who rushed in and Joined their
thanks TO hers.

,,Ir.t of the SeBste's Special Orders--
EothIug Definite in the House.
w.sH1SGToN, Dec. 5.-rbe second ses-
.ior ~ the FOrty-ninth Congress Will be-
II, tomorrow at noon. The legislative
snsiness OF the session is expected to
Deslu Tuesday.
The Unfinished business Of the Senate is
q vetoed private pension bill reported
from the Committee on Pensions with a
commentator that it be passed over
the veto.
The first OF the special orders is the
pacific railroad funding bill, which has
boon at the head of the calendar since
last Nav.
Senator Platts resolution for consider
alton of executive nominations IN open
session is the special order for Wednes-
day. and it's consideration Will be urged.
With these three exceptions no measure
m the calendar is in a position TO COM
nand the attention of the Senate during
heweek.
The calendar contains 260 bills and res
olntops. from which number the Senate
will make its selections for considera-
ton.
INTER. STATE COMMERCE.
There is a prospect Of an early agree
ment nv the cOnferees upon the Interstate
bill. should this take place early in the
week. the measure being conference
pp0rt might at the option OF the con-
fprees displace all other business. 1t is
not likely, however, that its cOnsidera-
ton would be pressed before the follow
ing week.
tits hardly probable that any business
Of consequence will be transacted in the
House during the early part of the week.
Opportunity may be afforded Representa-
lives to Introduce bills and resolutions
which have accumulated in their hands
| during the recess.
PRIVILEGED REPORT.
A privileged report may also be pre-
sented to the House by the conferees on
toe fOrtiticatlon bill, which failed of enact
ment last session by reason of the total
disagreement OF the cOnferees, in which
event new conference will be ordered.
Should the conterees on the Interstate
commerce bill reach an agreement and
50 report to the House, action Will
probably be taken on the meas
ire without prolonged debate.
Fhe Appropriations Committee has made
uch progress in the preparation of the
iuhdry civil bill that it can probably be
eported to the House about the middle of
be week. Several measures of interest
were made continuing special orders at
the last session and may be called up at
any time il the House is so disposed. They
are the free ship bill. electoral count bill,
Pacific railroad funding bill, Washington,
Dakota and OklOhama Territorial admis-
sion bills, the army reorganization bill,
and sundry bills of minor Importance re-
ported from the Committees on Labor,
Waysan Means, Banking and Currency,
Agriculture, and Indian Affairs.
