XLIXth CONGRESS- FIRST SESSION
SENATE.
WASHINGTON. Jul

w ASdINGION, Culy y.
The Senate took up Mr.. Riddleberger's res
olution offered yesterday, to have the execu-
tive session of today held with open doors.
Mr.. Harris made the point of order that
the resolution proposed a change of rules,
and that proper notice of it had not been
given.
Mr.. Riddleberger conceded that the point
of order might apply, but he had merely
wanted to call attention to the matter, and
he was going to do so on every occasion that
presented itself.
The Chair sustained the point of order,
and the resolution was laid on the table,
Mr.. Sewall, from the committee on pen
sions, presented a report in the case OF the
vetoed bill granting a pension to Margaret
ID. Marchand, widow of Commodore Mar
chand. The committee repeats its former re-"
port in the case, and recommends the pas
sage of the bill over the Presidents obJec-
tions. Referred
The Senate, after passing private bill for
the relief of Capt Ernest III. Wardwell, pro-
ceeded to the calendar
The bill to incorporate the Atlantic and
racine ship Railway Company, the Eads
bill and Mr.. Hoar's bill concerning federal
elections, were severally objected to and
went over
MIR. Hoar offered a resolution calling on
the PRESIDENT for information as to the selz-
ure or detention in any foreign ports OF any
American vessels, the preteXts or alleged
causes therefor, and what efforts have been
made to provide redress for such seizures
and to prevent their recurrence. The reso-
luton went over.
Mr.. Call offered resolution calling on the
President to direct the American representa-
tive In Mexico to investigate the truth OF the
statements made In the newspapers that cl!l-
zens OF the United States are confined IN
Mexican dungeons without trial, for alleged
oHences against the laws of Mexico, ana
that their final trial has been postponed
without cause, and requiring the Unlted

a TERRIBLE ORDEAL.
Cruel and Barbarous Hazing of a
College Student.
Branded on the Back by His Fellow
Students.

ALLIANCE, O.. July ga case OF hazlng,
which for cruelty and barbarity, is unparal-
leled in the history of colleges, has just come
to light here, F. M. Marshall, of Stark coun-
ty, Ohio, being the victim. he is in his first
term at the Mt. Vernon College in this city,
and expressed desire to become member
of one of the various secret societies formed
by the students. He was informed that up
on the payment of 81 initiation fee he would
be taken into the Delta Gamma fraternity, a
secret organization. The night for the inltla,
tion came. About 10 O'Clock supposed
friend called for him, and both started for
the hall. Arriving at an old, abandoned col
lege building, he paid his fee, was blindfold.
ed and ushered into the presence OF from 70
to 80 students. Once inside he was at the
mercy of his captors. Bound hand and foot,
he was first rolled over barrel. Next ms
clothing was removed, and he was placed
upon cake of ice for considerable length
OF time, and then tossed in blanket. His
prosecutors finally placed him on his face
and branded on his back the fraternity en-
blem, after which he was set free. The mat,
ter has been brought before the faculty, and and
the students who INDUCED in the hazing will
be expelled when their Identity is discovered
Civil actions are also threatened.

ARLINGTON NATIONAL BANK.
The Institution Said to be in Good
Financial Condition.

ARLINGTON, Mass, July 9.-This afternoon
the directors of the Abingdon National Bank
residing outside of Abingdon were hastily
summoned by the bank examiner and held
consultation with Gatchell. One OF the dl-
rectors said overtures had been made by
friends of Lane to effect settlement OF ex-
isting difficulty and it was likely to be con-
summated in few days. Gatchell SAID au,
thority to make settlement was not vested
in him, and that the proper course would be
for him to receive his instructions from the
comptroller at Washington. He said the eX-
animation was progressing well. The de-
positors had begun to express feeling OIL
nneasiness and many have desired to learn
the exact state of affairs as regards deposits.
The bank has Sc four per cent bonds, the
premium on which amounts to $4,000. This
added to $4,000 on hand makes $4,000. Ihe
institution holds securities to the amount OF
100000, aside from paper signed by Lane.
Allowing Lanes paper to be worthless,
which is not considered probable, the lnstl-
tuition has $4,000 to.pay $116,000 on deposit.
Should the bank close up business today 1t
would realize from four per cent bonds $4S,-
600 after paying all of its bank bills. $4,000
cash on hand and $4,000 secured by unques-
tionable paper added to this would give S161-
600 or S45, 900 more than the deposits. This
seems to Indicate that which ever way affairs
turn the depositors have no occasion to feel
alarmed concerning their money.

a MIRACULOUS RECOVERY.
The Only Case OF the Cure of Lock-
jaw Ever Known.

NEW YORK, July 9.-Dr. Robert Taylor,
of New York, reports the cure of a case of
traumatic tetanus, or lockjaw, resultant from
a wound, which is, it is said, the only in
stance in which fatal conclusion to such an
attack has been averted.
On May l. Miss Effie Marsterton, daughter
of Mr.. Robert NJ. Masterton, retired New
York merchant, had the bones of the toe and
instep of her right foot crushed. DR.. Taylor
dressed the wound, removing number of
pieces of bone. Recognizing the extreme
probability of lockjaw, he put the patient
under the influence Of morphine. Other
doctors and friends of the young lady strong
ly urged him to cut off the foot, averring
that no other way could lockjaw be averted
Miss Marsterton settled the matter by de-
claring that whatever Dr. Taylor directed
was what she would have done. He began
by giving her6 drops ,f Of }, Majendie's solution

CONGRESSMAN REEDS OPINION
He Talks Strongly About the Presi-
dents Vetoes of Pension Bills.

NEW YORK, July 9.-Congressman Thomas
brating its centennial. He was looking as
well as usual when Boston Record reporter
met him today. He sighed and drew himself
up to his full height when asked about the
Presidents veto campaign. He said:
Congress will hammer on it until the first
of August on account Of the actiOni of the
President in vetoing every pension bill pre-
sented to him. He is not usurping, but he
is certainly abusing the power given him by
the Constitution. The makers of the Con-
stitution never contemplated such an extra
ordinary use of the veto power. The Presi-
dents action is beyond all precedent. He
acts as if he were the mayor of a city-thiS
city, for instanee-doing things in rushing,
his examination of the pension bills as the
head of q great nation, but with an utter dis
regard of the time and work the committee
has given to them. | do not know whether
these bills will be passed over his veto or
not. Congressman Watson, who stated that
these claims were rejected by Republican
pension commission, ought to know that
they were passed upon by a Democratic
House. He should be aware that the object
of Congressional investigation into these
claims is to give justice where the law has
hitherto been inadequate. Many Democrats
in Congress are very much chagrined at the
Presidents course in exercising his veto
power to such an extent"
what about the Pan Electric committee
report?"
''Well, have nothing to say on that sub
ject. Mr.. Ranney has pretty well shown up
the affair in his report. The fishery ques-
tion? Ali Well, | must ask to be excused
from entering into any discussion about it,
do not know what causes the government
to proceed so slowly"

The marks around the boys body leads to
the conclusion that he tied the halter around

The above notice was served on the Col

morning from the office of L. c. Shreye,
O. c., who will probably act as counsel with
the attorney and solicitor of Jesse Lewis at
the trial in DigbJ. 1t will be seen that
Jesse Lewis now becomes plaintiff, therefore
the inferenceis that the Adams has been re-
leased. and this action is now against
the Canadian government for damages.
The David J. Adams is still chained up
here and will require thorough caulking oW-
ing to the racking rays of sun pouring down
on her for the past two months without
drop of water on deck during that time. The
summons and warrants still remained nailed
to the mast, although it is quite certain that
the prosecutors for the Queen and plaintiffs
have long since abandoned their suit.
