dangerous The governor of Alabama re-
Gently nearly lost his life by his horse slip
ping on fallen wire, the horse being in

Montgomery have been gingerly in their
patronage of the road, and were now trying
to get rid of its electric power and substi-
tute horse power and cable power. After a
long discussion. during which the danger
to life from overhead wires was set forth,

NO QUORUM IN THE HOUSE
A DAY WASTED IN FUTILE AT
TEMPTS THE RESULT.

MIR. Morrill, Brings the Situation to-
Light by Trying to Have Days AS
signed for the Consideration OF Gem
eral Pension Legislation-A Motion
to Revoke Leaves of Absence.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-In the house
this morning Mr. Morrill, of Kansas called
up the resolution previously reported from
the committee on invalid pensions, assign
ing May and 3 for the consideration of
general pension legislation, with proposed
amendment changing the dates to Aug %
and 80. Mr.. Morrill, gave resume
of the various measures of
general character which had
been reported from the committee on in
valid pensions, and urged the necessity OF
fixing time for their consideration. He
demanded the previous question and the
vote resulted in 1l6 yeas to nays, no
quorum, and a call of the house was ordered.
The roll call showed the absence of IT'S
members. and the morning hour having ex-
pired, the resolution went over:
SPRINGER STRIKES THE sNAG.
Mr.. Springer attempted to secure con-
sideration of the Oklahoma, bill out the
point OF no quorum was raised against
him and he was forced to abandon the at
tempt.
Then Mr.. Burnes of Missouri brought
forward the deficiency appropriation Til
and moved that the house go into COM
mittee of the whole for it's consideration,
but on the division the point of no
quorum was raised by Mr. LYMAN
of Iowa, and the call of the roll failed to
procure the requisite number, the vote
standing 142 yeas to 9 nays. Another call of
the house was ordered. The call showed an
attendance Of $50 members, 10 less than a
quorum.
REVOCATION OF LEAVES OF ABSENCE.
Mr.. Weaver of Iowa thereupon made a
motion revoking all leaves of absence ex-
cept those granted on account of sickness,
the revocation to take effect at the expira-
tion of five days.
Much opposition was manifest d to this
action, it being contended that such revo-
cation would work an injustice to members
who had left the city relying upon their
leaves of absence.
Mr.. Blount of Georgia thought there was
no occasion for the harsh and unseemly
measure proposed by the gentleman from
Iowa. The reason that there were SO many
absentees was, that the house had little
business to transact and could be ready to
adjourn within three days.
THE MOTION TABLED.
On motion of Mr.. Cox of New York, Mr..
Weaver's motion was tabled.
Mr.. Weaver gave notice that he would,
on Monday next, if the house was without
quorum, renew his motion.
Mr.. Burnes Of Missouri, in moving to ad-
journ, expressed his regret that at this late
day OF the session consideration bad been re-
fused to the genarai appropriation bill In
which 10000 veteran union soldiers were
Interested He blamed nobody, but he gave
notice that he would, from day to day, as
long as he was able to stand upon his feet,
demand consideration of the deficiency bill.
The house, at 4:l5 o'clock, adjourned
