THE COFFIN WAS EMPTY.
Why the Washington Asylum No Longer
Receipt for Bodies.

The authorities Of the Washington asylum,
who have charge OF the potter's field, deny
that there was any body in the box sent to the
potter's field and purporting to contain the re-
mains of David Carrck. As stated in yester-
days STAB David Carrick died at the Freed
mans hospital and his body was subsequently
found by his friends on dissecting- table in
the dissecting-room of Howard medical col
lege. which is located in building on the same
grounds the hospital. Intendant Stouten-
burgh. of the Washington asylum, told STAR
reporter that the box was inspected and found
to be weighted with cnders or wood
and some old clothes. He said, furthermore,
that he had not given receipt for the body to
the hospital authorities. He had stopped Civ
ing such receipts some time ago to the Freed
mans hospital, as he found that the cofins
coming from there some times had no bodies
in them. So he adopted new form of re-
ceipt, which acknowledged only that the burial
permit had been received. These cofins, he
said. were generally weighted with logs of
wood or ashes, and contained the old clothes of
the dead person supposed to be nailed up in
the box. If any one ever disinterred the box,
the appearance was that the grave had been
robbed. He said the resurrectionists were dis
couraged by the fact that they drew so many
blanks nowadays. The Jerry Crunches Of
Washington are considerably disgusted.

About two hundred and fifty certificates of
election to the next Congress have been re-
ceived by the clerk of the House. OF course,
there is no doubt about the republicans having
a majority in the next House, unless deprived
of it by death or other accident. The question
is whether it will be one or seven. At present
one hundred and sixty-three republicans and
one hundred and ffty-nine democrats have
been certified by official count. In three dis
tricts both parties still claim election. These
are in West Virginia, where two democrats
have been given their certificates and two GER
tiicates have been withheld, and in Tennessee,
where there is still dispute between Bates
and Evans. II certificates in all three of these
districts are given to the republicans they
WILL HAVE A MAJORITY OF SEVEN.
They cannot have larger majority than this
until some of the contests are settled in the
House, and they cannot be cut below one majority
except by death. 1t is whispered at the cap
itol that the certificates that will be filed with
Mr.. Clarke as the legal certificates of election
will be in favor of Bates, democrat, in Tennes-
see, and one more democrat in West Virginia.
This would fix the republican majority at
three.
CLOSE CALL.
This, or even seven, is too close mark for it
to be safe for the Fifty-frst Congress to delay
its meeting until December. Life and death
are uncertain things to count on under such
circumstances. The probabilities in THIS direc-
ton are already being reckoned on by those
who go out if the republicans come in. The
death of Mr.. Laird who is critically ill, would
take one from the republican majority until
an election could be had. Several other re-
publicans who are elected to the next House
are in uncertain health. Several whose names
are often mentioned, are regarded as having a
very uncertain tenure of life. Every indica-
tion of ill health on the part of member Of the
next House is regarded with anxiety, and adds
another argument to the many advanced
IN FAVOR OF AN EXTRA SESSION.
The sooner the republicans can get their
men together to organize the House the safer
they will be in their possession. 1t is not an
easy thing to get every man of the party in
the House at one time. 1t is fact that during
the Fiftieth Congress, with 168 democrats, and
2 independents voting with them, there has
never for one moment been quorum
of that party in tle House-not even
on the first dav of meeting, when the Or
ganization was formed. When the vote on the
CarlisleThoebe contest was to be taken, the
deputy sergeant-at-arms tried, for four days,
with all his authority and power, to get a
quorum -of democrats present. He sent out
impress them with the Importance of the occa-
sion but he failed utterly, and it was only
through republican votes that quorum was
had. Even when the tariff vote was taken not
a quorum of democrats could be got together.
There has not been moment during this Con-
gress when the House might not have been
blocked by the republicans acting together.

Special Dispatch TO THE EVENING STAR.
FREDERICKsBURG, Va, Dec. 2s.-The excite
ment is increasing here over the reported riot
at Tackett's Mills in Stafford county. District
Attorney White, whose Office is in this city,
left yesterday for the scene of the affray. Par
ticulars received to-day show that there was a
gathering of white and colored people at the
store of L. A. Skinner Wednesday. and that
late in the afternoon they got to disputing
over the recent election and county officers.
The colored people contended that Stafford
was largely a republican county, and that
all of its offices should be filed by members of
that party, and charged the grossest
frauds upon the democrats of the county. using
violent epithets. During the turmoil white
man named Bennett Helm and colored man,
whose name could not be learned. began fight
ing, and during the fight the white man. Hefin,
fell dead from bullet passing through the re-
gion of his heart, supposed to have been done
by the negro with whom he had the difficulty.
The whites then turned with great fury upon
the negroes. severe conflict followed. with
many serious injuries to both parties. The
negro who made the attack on Hefin attempted
to escape, but was captured, and has since died
from his injuries. The sheriff, with a posse.
fastened to the scene and has made several
arrests.
