NRw YoRK. Jan. Elm regard to the
committees Of the House the Times to-day
says:
iHConsldering how long he has been
about it, the work Of the Speaker cannot
be said to be very well done, and its out.
come in legislation cannot be looked for
ward to with much hopefulness. The
placing OF Mr.. Randall at the head Of the
Appropriations Committee may have been
inevitable, but 1t was very unfortunate.
The more important committees are fairly
conservative and ara very likely to pre-
vent any very extreme action, except In
the case OF the Pensions Committee and
the Committee on the Reform Of the Civil
Service. The naming Of Archie Bliss as
chairman OF the former, is almost scRnda.

Clements, ssau Ryowed opponent OF the
law, who reported in the last Congress- in
favor Of it's repsNl. The coursaof the
Speaker in this matter Is inexplicable,
and, though it may lead to no positive
mischief, may easily prevent legislation

III I6khIu VI tud ways huu nuohun SUtu-
mittee, the World says: ut will be OBJ
served that this committee contains no
Democrat from the important States OF
New York, Connecticut and New Jersey,
nor, in fact, from any Northern State save
Pennsylvania and Indiana. The months
delay has apparently not been wasted for
the Republicans. It has given them on
the committee, 90 their share, some Of the
most conspicuous and 1nyielding protec-
tionists and opponents Of tariff reform and
tax reduction in the party.
But perhaps the greatest error Of the
whole is to have Ignored on the commit
tee the States Of New York, Connecticut
and New Jersey, and it 10 q remarkable
policy which overlooks three such States
S. those we have just named, and selects
tariff advisers from Texas, Tennessee,
Georgia, Kentucky and Arkansas. Otthe
other committees it may be said that the
Speaker has done fairly well with the ma
terial in hand"
The Tribune aays: "Next to the arbi-
trary arrangement OF the committees to
carry out certain ideas, the most notice
able feature OF this list is the predomi-
nance Of the Southern members, not only
in their numbers, but in the importance
OF the places they receive. The ability,
as well as the numerical strength Of the
Democratic party, is in the South. 1t 10
as distinctly q sectional party as 1t was be-
fore the war;"

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY,

A YlrEinian Kills his Wife by Cutting her
Throat from Ear to Ear.
'0NANGocK, Va, Jan. IA horrible
tragedy was enacted to-day in the neigh
borhood Of Bsll Haven, near the dividing
line between ACcomac and Northampton
counties. William O. Duer, former resi-
dent Of onsncoCk, killed his wife while
riding along the public road, by
cutting her throat with large pocket
knife. DneE's mind became unset
tied several months ago, owing,
II is supposed, to financial trouble, and he
left 0nRncook and went to reside, tempo
rarily, with his brother, who lives near
Bell Haven. He had recently got much
better and had d'made arrangements to re-
turn to 0nancock and engage In business
here again. This morning he took his
wife and two small children in buggy and
started 70 visit some friends near Ward
town, small village in Northampton, four
mlles distant. While going along the road

A RRAuTIFuL PLAY.

"rho sOGGarth" Mt the Wheeling OPorn
HOuEO last Evening.
II a drama was ever presented under
less inspiring circumstances than was
1.-THE soegarth" at the Wheeling Opera
House last evening 1t has not been chron,
icled. The beastly weather kept the audi.
ence down to an unpleasant minimum,
but.there were still enough undiscrimina-
ting people present 10 ruin nearly every
good point with Ill timed stamping OF feet.
Notwithstanding the trying circumstances,
the play was admirably acted. It is q
beautiful stage story. The theme and
plot, narrated in brief, would seem trite.
The incidents are murder, falhe Rccu-
aation against an innocent man, contes-
sion wrunH from the murderer by his con-
science. There is q love story or two run
ming through It all, and an underCurrent
OF comedy which under the hands OF the
skillful author crops out just often enough
to prevent the plays being sombre. There
are novel features, too, which quicken
the interest. The murderer, driven to the
verge Of madness by remorse, first conieeses
10 the village priest at the confessional.
This information Is OF course inviolably
secret. But subsequently he again tells
the story when the priest and other audi
tors are at liberty to reveal the truth, and
the wrong Is opportunely righted.
The scenery Ia as artistic and beautiful
Gs any ever put on Wheeling stage.
There ia q glen, with a stream ripping
down 1t and q pool In the foreground,
which Is q marvel Of scenic art. The rep
resentation OF Kildare chapel by moon
light, with the light streaming through
the stained glass windows, 10 beautiful,
and the scene from the interior OF the cas-
tie when the mob breaks in the windows
and forces an entrance, only to be stopped
by the troops with leveled carbines, is ex-
tTemely realistic.
The company is even and capable.
Major de Brett (Mr. McIntosh) is the first
English army dude that has been seen on
the stage which was not burlesque. Mr..
Holland's Lord GlenmOre Is manly and
natural. Mr.. Thompson as Silds Crane
was a consistent villain until overtaken by
remorse, and then his remorse was terri
BILE. Mr.. Vandenhof Is the ideal "Sog-
garth" or priest. Mr.. Welles, as Neil
Mcguire, resisted the temptation to over
act, and showed himself real artist.
Miss Belgrade as Notlrine was all the diff
cult part required, and the same may be
said Of Miss Uonway's Lady Ruby, ,whileher
singing OF Gounod's "Ave Maria" was one
of the most charming features Of the pre-
sentation. Misses White and Lee were
pretty and natural Irish lasses, and Mr..
Martin an equally acceptable Irish lad.
Taken as whole, it has been long time
since more meritorious performanCe-or
If "Jim, the Penmsn," be excepted as
performance has been seen
on the Opera House stage.
It will be repeated at the matinee this
afternoon and again this evening.

Mr.. sypher and Mr.. Thobe claimed
that on the night OF the election Mr.. Car
lisle's defeat was 90 evidsnt that confer
enCe Of his friends was held and decig-
ion reached to hold back the returns until
they could be fixed up 90 as to give him q
majority. This was done and done DO
boldly and clumsily that the returns them
gelves showed that changes and inEerpola-
tions had been made, and made in the
same handwriting in different precincts.
The fraud was maniiest.
Mr.. Thoebe and his attorney charged
that It was notorious in the vicinity that
friends OF Mr.. Carlisle had induced the
attorney originally employed by Thoebe
to neglect the proper means Of gathering
evidence. Mr.. Sypher claimed to have
stfidsvits in support OF his charges. The
committee took 3 recess until 1880.
After recOBg Mr.. Sypher, on behalf OF
Mr. Thoebe, presented in the form OF
written resolution the suggestions out
lined in his speech OF the forenoon. He
said he preferred that the committee
should adopt the resolution appointing 9
select committee TO visit the contested
election district and report Its findings to
the House. The committee at 2 o'clock
went into secret session.

Special DiEpatch to ne IattEIi0eaeer.
CAMBRIDGE, O., Jan. Cit has rained
steadily here all day and dense fog has
prevailed. About noon, and while the
obuCurity was the greatest, serious col
lision occurred on the Cleveland & Mari
eta Railway at this place about midway
between the shops and the Cleveland &
Marietta depot. The yard engine on its
way down to the shops, ran into the north
bound local freight. The boiler Of the
freight engine exploded, filling the cab, at
that moment being occupied BY the con-
duCtor, engineer and fireman, with flood
Of scalding steam and water. Somehow
the engineer escaped injury. The con-
ductor, L. K, Pack, OF Marietta, was fatal
" scalded, dying at 0 o'clock this evening.
The fireman, Charles Rennie, Of New
Philadelphia, was badly injured internal
ly and scalded about the head and breast
and will likely die. No one else was seri-
ously hurt. The damage to the rolling
stock, aaide from the injury to the engine,
Is slight. So far as csn be learned no
blame for the accident attaches to any one.
