House and Senate Committees Hard at
Work on the Different Bills.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The full sub
committee of the senate finance committee
in charge of the tariff bill was in session
to-day going over details of the measure so
far as they had not been passed upon by
the senate and determining what changes
to propose when the consideration of the
bill is resumed next week. It is hardly
possible the committee will be enabled to
complete this work before New Year, and
the Il e study St. fs Of ths m measure with view to
perfecting it until nearly the date fixed for
a final vote upon it. The sub committee of
the senate appropriation committee in
charge of the District of Columbia bill are
working hard upon it and will probably be
ready to report it to the senate next week.
The house Indian and sundry civil ap-.
preparation bill are about completed and
will be reported TO the fill house committee
next week. This leaves Notifications,
army, naval, deficiency, agricultural and
pOstoffice appropriation bills yet to be com
pleted. Nearly all OF them is in an adj
vanced stage and Indications are that the
all we'll out of the way Of the house.
CLEvELAND's LETTER.
The Evening Star says: President Cleve-
land in the last paragraph of his letter,
read at5the Tariff Reform club banquet in
Boston last night, sounded the key note Of
the music the tariff reformers in the house
propose to march by. SIN the track Of re-
form,D he says, 'are often found dead
hopes of the pioneers and despair of those
who fall in their march, but there will be
neither despair nor dead hopes, in the path
of tariff reform, nor shallits pioneers fail to
reach the heights : Holding fast
their faith and rejecting every alluring
overture and every deceptive compromise
which would betray their sacred trust.
They themselves shall regain and restore
patrimOny of their cOuntrymen, freed from
the trespass of the grasping encrOachment
and safely secured by the genius of Amer
lean Justice and equality" The policy
that the majority of the ways and means
committee propose to follow is, "reject
every alluring overture and every deceptive
compromise" They are still full Of fight.
They do not expect anything worth speak
ing OF from their colleagues in the senate
in the short time left them for the discus
sion of the senate bill before vote IS taken
on the 2lst, and they are preparing them
selves to receive the hill.

Dynamite Explosion.

NoRR1sTowN, Pennsylvania, January q
A horrible End heart-rending accident
occurred yesterday two miles from Sunny
town, this county. Two young men named
Erb and Schoecker were literally blown to
atoms by the explosion of half bucket Of
dynamite. The young men were employed
at James Miller's dynamite factory and at
the time were at work in Swamp creek
near the factory mixing two ingredients of
dynamite. 1t is supposed that in mixing
the stuff the proper proportion was not
placed therein and as a result the explosion
occurred. The men were blown to pieces,
and fragments of flesh were scattered over
a wide area. Pieces of flesh that were
found were not of sufficient size to show TO
what body they belonged. The factory
buildings were uninjured, but the shock
was felt in houses two miles from the
scene,

O'Clock this morning. Five minutes after
the alarm was turned in the building across
the street was smoking and was about to
burst into flames. The flames spread
rapidly, while the few firemen who for
minute or two at a time braved the awful
heat had but a dozen streams to combat
half a dozen acres of blazing oils, molten
iron and flowing glass. 1t was a magnif-
cent and awful sight from the first two
minutes after its discovery till about 8
O'Clock, when the building collapsed and
there was nothing more to burn. The
Ehler House place, at 209 South Fourth
street, occupied by bOarders, was scene
of panic. Screams OF frightened women
and men rushing to and fro from room to
room after their friends created much
terror. Finally the tiremen came to their
assistance and all the occupants were
safely rescued. Waess' masquerade store,
2O7 South Fourth street, was destroyed.

was also the scene of fright. The occu-
pants had only time to escape.

fire occurred when the seven great explo-
siOns of benZine and other explosive drugs
occurred. Almost simultaneously with the
falling and crashing of the southeast cor
ner of the building, endangering the life Of
all the fremen on that portion Of the build
ing, the cornices and Gaping stones on the
top story began to crack on weaving walls
and the firemen had only time to escape
from the impending danger when with a
sudden crash that portion Of the building
fell, throwing burning fragments across
Clask avenue and setting fire to II. I. Mil
ler's bakery: Cliff Richardson, general
manager Of the concern, gives the value OF
the stock on hand at $685. 900 and insurance
at $65OOOO. The buildings occupied were
valued at about 100000. The origin OF the
fire is not yet known, but it was first seen
on the ground floor of Fourth street front
Police Sergeant William Young, who
sounded the alarm at once.
Andrew Geroghly, night watch in Rich
ards0n's drug house, has been missing

Northern Pacific Tax Case Decided.

JAMESTOWN, Oak, Dec. 81. Judge
Rose decided the celebrated North
ern Pacific tax cases here to-day.
The particular cases on which the de-
cisions are made are suits of the railway
company against the treasurers OF Foster
and LaMoure counties in Dakota for per-
petual injunction against the sale of rail-
road lands for taxes Of 1887. Cases also
decide about thirty other suits of the same
character brought by the Northern Pacific
restraining the sale of lands along the line
OF the road in Dakota. The amount in
solvent altogether is half million. The
decision is against the railroad but it gives
the plaintiff ten days to amend the COM
plant. However, it is probable the case
will goto the supreme court on blending
as they stand. The company claims the
right to tax these lands in addition to the
pro ratio they receive under the gross
earnings law of the territory.
