WIthA Warrington Widew.
WARRINGTON, D. O., Jan. 17.-Mr. John
o'Neill, the popular Congressman from
st. Louis, and who is one Of the reputed
representatives Of the labor interest, is
having q great deal Of trouble to find out
whether he is married TO Q certain Mrs.
Moore, or whether he is still bachelor.
Mrs. Moore declares that she Is married to
Mr.. 0'Nsill, and that her name is Mrs.
O'Neill. Brother John declares that he is
not married 10 Mrs. Moore, and that he ia
still bachelor, fancy free. The matter
has occasioned great deal Of newspaper
comment, and the subject Of the marriage
seems TO bO pretty well settled in Mr..
0'Neilps behalf to-day by paragraph in
the Critic.
Mrs. Moore, or, as she calls herself, Mra.
0'Neill, declared In st. Louis, where abe
went to make q little hullRbaloo, that she
was married to Congressman 0'Neill by
Judge Charles 8. Walter, q Justice Of the
peace OF this city. Now Comen Judge
CHARLES s. Walter and says to the Critic
reporter that he never married any one in
his life, and that he did not know Mrs.
Moore or Mr.. 0'Neill. He says that If he
should perform marriage ceremony he
would be subjected to fine Of thirteen
hundred pounds Of tobacco under an old
marriage law.
The present public disposition seems ts
be 10 let Mrs. Moore and Congressman
0'Neill fight the matter out as to whether
they are married or whether they arc not.
1t Is only question Of some says they
are and some says thay isn't"

on the Part of Street Car Driver ATsrts n
FIIghtful Disaster.
CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-A terrible calamity
was narrowly sverted last evening by the
presence of mind Of street car driver.
As street car filed with passengers was
approaching tho Stewart avenue railway
crossing about o o'clock, the conductor,
as is customary, ran ahead to see that no
trains were approaching. The gates had
Just been raised and q Pittsburgh & Fort
Wayne freight train had just cleared the
street, going toward the city. A fine
-four snow blew out from under the cars
partially obscuring the conductors view,
and he failed to observe the spproach Of
the Wabash & st. Louis express, which
crossed on switch to the main track and
came laundering down at the rate OF
twenty miles an hour on 10 the car which
the conductor had eignRled to come
ahead"
Driver and conductor sew the danger at
the came time. The train was not hun
dred feet distant, and TO stop meant SURE
death ito all on the car, Grasping the
awitch-iron, he.driyer hitths horses orthe
tlsnks and they aprang forward, dragging
the heavy van over the railroad tracks at
q rate which notified the passengers in
aide that something was wrong. The ex-
press train struck the car, smashing one
end and throwing the passengers into the
snow. Fortunately the locomotive did
not strike tho centre Of the car, and the
force OF the ahock fell on the rear platform.
The wrecked car and its occupants were
hurled far 70 one side OF instead Of in the
path OF the train. Half Of the passengers
lay bruised in the nnow, but none were
dangerously injured.

Gently held in Warrington, and they were
ordered printed in the Record.
Mr.. Crisp, Of Georgia, submitted the re.
port OF the Committee on Elections upon
the Thoebe- Carlisle contested election case
and it was ordered printed.
Leave was granted to the minority to
file their individual views, and Mr.. Crisp
gave notice that he would ask the House
to act upon the report on or before Friday.
Mr.. wilkins, Of Ohio, called up as un-
finished business tho bill TO provide for
the issue Of circulating notes 10 National
banks-the pending question being on
ordering the previous question-on which
yeas and nays had been ordered.
Some disposition had been manifested
BY Mr.. Anderson, Of Kansas, and Mr..
Weaver, Uf Iowa, to flibuster against the
measure Mr.. Wilkins stated that he would
withdraw his demand for the previous
question and allow the opponents Of the
bill TO take the floor for It's discussion dur
ing the remainder OF the hour. But this
Mr.. Weaver objected to and Mr.. Anderson
declared that whenever 1t was proposed to
gag them, he would filibuster.
Mr.. wilkins then moved that the
House proceed to the considering Of the
unfinished business, and Mr.. Anderson
and Mr.. Weaver resumed their flibusLer.
ing tactics. After several dilatory motions
were voted down, the House determined
to consider the banking bill. Yeas, 145;
nays, 100. But the determination was Of
little avail, for other tilibustering motions
we're resorted to. After some time Mr..
Anderson stated that his object In taking
the action he did was to secure an oppor-
tunity foriree discussion and amendment.
That was all he desired.
Mr.. WilkinsTsplied that he had always
been willing to grant ample time for free
discussion and amendment.
Mr.. Weaver announced his opposition
to any compromise which might facilitate
the passage Of o perniclous bill, and he
gave notice that II he could not succeed
in deIesting that measure upon vote
he would endeavor 10 do 60 by resorting
TO the parliamentary rules Of the House.
It being evident that NO progress could
be made upon the bill to-day, the House

Mr.. Plat offered q resolution instructing

OF the Presidents message Mr.. Hoar
moved that It, with the accompanying re-
ports, be committed to q select committee
Of FIVE Senators to be appointed by the
chair. Agreed to.
The Blair educational bill was taken up,
and the Senate was addressed by Mr..
Bowen in support Of the bill, and Mr..
Blair addressed the Senate in advocacy OF
It. Mr.. Harris said that iu Mr. Blsir's
pamphlet, the Legislature Of Tennessee

was o Rross mistake. The Legislature OF
Tennessee had never taken any such po-

Mr.. Blair admitted that there might
probably be q mistake Gs to Tennessee.
Mr.. Plat noticing reference to the
number OF children attending school in
Connecticut explained that in Bome towns
in that State many children were being
educated In the Catholic parochial schools
and were not enumerated in the tables oil

Mr.. Blair said he was aware OF that fact.
Much Of the opposition to the pending

At this point Mr.. Blair yielded the floor,
