CARLISLE SEATED.
The House Puts an Hnd to the Buncombe
Thoebe Contest. tH.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23.-The
Democrats of the House, came down
the homestretch today and won. This
triumph of right is not ordinarily
deemed so unusual as to call for bon
fires of joy; but the drilling that
the Democratic Representatives
have had is the main source of
enthusiasm. Seven Republicans voted
that MIR. Carlisle was not elected. No
other Republicans in the House voted
against Carlisle and, what is more,
they refrained after they knew there
was a quorum. Seven Republicans
voted to seat Carlisle. They were
Cannon, Cooper, Davenport, McKenna.
Post, ROwell and Steele.
Thus in the vote of 164 to Z there
were 157 genuine Democratic votes.
There were eleven Democrats not re-
corded. Three sat in their seats and
did not vote, as follows: CoWles
Weaver and Foran. Carlisle, of course,
could notVote. Gen. Spinola was absent
sick, Pennington of Delaware arrived
twenty minutes late, his train being
over an hour late. McClammy of North
Carolina deliberatelo left Saturday. He.
like his colleague Cowles, thought this
was q chance, it is charged, to discipline
Carlisle for, refusing TO allow. fruit
brandy tax to be reduced last session
Burke CochraDe of New York went
home Saturday night after being refus-
ed a pair. He gets moody and is some-'
what noted as a bolter. Perry Belmont
telegraphed that he had missed the
train, but he had forty trains to take
from the time he was first notified.
Amos j. Cummings and Mr.. .Sowden
were present and voted, but Withdrew
their votes after discovering that they
were not needed.
All pairs that bound Democrats pres
ent had been destroyed. Thus the
eleven absentees are accounted for.
NILS and Bynum were both sick but
came to the house. Mills had almost
chill during the roll call. While Foran
today did not vote, on Friday he did
vote for the same resolution that was
adopted. There were, in fact, 1863, Ga
quorum) Democrats available and with
Carlisle 1874. Glover came from st.
Louis to vote.

The Miners Joint, Committee, have
prepared an answer to Pres't. C0rbins
statement! The document relates the
history of the agreement between the
miners and the company, and says it
was accepted by all parties concerned.
as it Gould not be expected that any
person or committee of average intelli,
gence would enter into an agree
ment binding on men that would
not be binding on the company.
and this was the view taken of the mat
ter by both sides when the Ymemoran-

miners reply continees: "Mr. Corbins
statement that during four months the
miners were paid in addition to the
basis OF wages the sum of '$241 ,906J is
good evidence that for ten years back
miners have paid at least that Amount
less for every four months than
they We're entitled to receive.
Whatever Mr. Corbin'spninforma-
ton may be- to- the reason as
to why the miners refused to continue
work after the first of January, we have
only to say, that the miners quit work
because tie Company fefiisedi the adj
vanceiasked for, aiid would not agree
to arrange meeting with the commit
tee, for the purpose of agreeing to ar!
oltrate the question, as was done in
September last. The miners have no de-
sire to drive the company out of the
competitive market nor compel them
to resort to any BUSINESS policy unfair
to its patrons or consumers. The
committee says it is an open question
whether or not the Schuylkill
miners receive as. much for mining as
the miners in other regions. Chairman
Lee, who is managing the strike for the
miners and railroad men, says that the
strikers are still firm. '.

Freight train No. u on the Nickel
Plate railroad met with an accident
at noon today, which came
very near proving a terrible
disaster, and was so re-
ported at first. Four cars
in some manner became detached from
the middle of the train at the draw
bridge and plunged from the trestle to
the river ,beneath-a distance Of over
100 feet, reducing them to the finest of
kindling wood. A brakeman on one of
the cars held on until the brake was
firmly set, and then leaped to the
track just as the car dropped from un-
der him, into the river below. The
breaking of the coupling saved the
entire train from being dragged into
theIValley. Four cars being misinter-
preted for four men, created great ex-
citement in the vicinity and led to
great crowds of people going down
into the valley. Loss to property will
