Last Sunday VIM. Davis, a patient at the insane
asylum, was killed by Fl. +. Taylor, an attend
ant. and to-day the coroner's jury rendered a
verdict that the killing was done in self-de-
Tense. As Taylor passed Davis in the hall, with
another insane man. Davis. who was out of
humor about something, struck Taylor in the
neck. Taylor left the other man and grabbed
Davis about the waist. They struggled for five
minutes. first one. then the other getting the
advantage. When about three feet from a
bench Taylor. as he says, gave Davis a violent
wrench, throwing him across the arm of the
bench. His body was twisted over it and held
there until help arrived.
An examination revealed the fact that Davis
must have been handled in a terrible manner.
The breastbone was broken, and every rib on
one side was broken except two and three were
broken twice. The ragged edges of the ribs
sawed off the veins and arteries so that the in
ternal cavities were filled with blood After
the fight the patient was taken out for a walk
and dragged around the grounds until he said
he could go no further. He was then taken
back, put to bed, and died in a few minutes.

THE NEW NAVAL VESSELS.
Representative Boutelle Criticises the
Action OF the Navy Department.

There was lively scrap Of debate on the naval
appropriation bin in the House yesterday after
noon. in which the present administration of
the Navy department freely criticised by
Mr.. Boutelle. He referred 10 the fact that the
democratic party had only given the republican
administration -. 0O0, 600 for new vessels, while
the republicans had generously joined in ap-
propriating over s2s, GOO. 900 to enable demo-
cratic executive to rehabilitate the navy, and
charged that this administration was much
slower in getting out its vessels than the
previous administration had been. He said
that only four vessels-the Charleston, York
town, Petrol, and Baltimore-were worthy Of
consideration. and particularly criticised the
action of the Navy department in regard TO the
award of the contracts for the Yorktown and
Baltimore. Mr.. Boutelle said he was informed
that the plans o. the lorktowns engines
were submitted to a board of naval experts
and rejected; that when those plans were SUD-
mitted the engines were marked for $500
horsepower; that when the bids were made
the figures were changed TO $500 Horsepower;
that when the bids were accepted the Secretary
cut the horsepower down TO 5000, and offered
bonus OF 500 for every additional horse
power. In the case of the Baltimore he was
told that the original drawing, purchased in
England. called for 1880 horsepower. but
after the bids were received the Secretary cut
1t down to 5000. and offered a premium which
would bring the bonus up to $4,000 for pro.
vlding the power originally required by the
plans. He also criticised the tests TO which the
NesuviuS had been subjected as insufficient
and not up to the standard or that class OF ship
which had been laid down by the department

BATTLE OFTRE BILLS.
The Struggle Over Various Pending
Measures Creates Confusion.

The House was in an industrious mood to-dav
In the early hours of the session, and consider
able routine business was disposed of. There
were several spirited scenes during the refer
ence of bills coming over from the Senate. As
each bill was reported, various members sprang
to their feet, each one making a different re-
quest as to the disposition of it. At one time
the confusion on the floor was so great that
even the sound of the Speakers gavel was al
most drowned by the shouting of members en-
deavoring to obtain recognition. Finally the
Speaker called upon the Sergeant-at-Arms to
resto-e order upon the floor, and Col Isaac
Hill was partially successful The occupant of
the galleries appeared to enjoy the fun going
on below.
Mr.. RANDALL AND Mr.. MILLS
were both on deck, watching the movements OF
each other closely. Mr.. Randall was disposed
to push all urgent business ahead to make way
for his internal revenue bill. while Mr.. Mills
appeared to be in favor of considering veto
messages and other measures calculated to de.
lay an issue between the tariff reformers and
the internal-revenue men. 1t is said that Mr.
Randall has about given up all hope of secur.
ing definite legislation with regard to the in.
ternal revenue, but he is anxious to measure
swords with Chairman Mills to test the sense OIL
the House on the subject of repeating the to
bacco tax and getting certain gentlemen OF
record.
