Trouble Over n Sweet Thing.
n ..i. -...n :. l. Il. fha nlanaAah 4

WASHINGTON. March 25--Having once re-
opened the subject Of duties on sugar the
Republican members OF the Ways and
Means Committee find it hard to adjust
them satisfactorily. To-day the refners
were here in force. There were a number
from New York and Boston. and Messrs.
Knight and Frazier were here from Phils-
delphia. They made q strenuous protest
against the action of the conmitteein cut
ting so heavily into the existing rates. and
maintained that Is per cent. cut WAS all
that the refining industry could stand. On
the other hand, about dozen members OF
Congress from the West insisted that the
duties must be still further reduced.
A large delegation of leather-men next
appeared before the Republican members
TO protest against the duty on skins for
morocco, but were assured that their ap.
prehensions were groundless, and retired
in short order. Later on the representa-
tives of the wool dealers were heard at
length respecting the duty on carpet
woods.

mittee on Elections to-day disposed of two
contested-election cases-namely, Posey cs.
Parret, First Indiana district, and Bowen
rs. Buchanan, Ninth Virginia district. In
both of these cases the committee will re-
commend that the sitting member be al

election cases passed upon by it up TO the

four Republicans and three Democrats,
Probably before the end of the week de-
cision will be reached in the Alabama case
of McDuffie rs. Turpin and the Virginia
case Of Waddill vs. Wise.
In the West Virginia case of McGInnis

A Hammonton y. j. telegram SAYS An
Italian named Marco MaTietiesO, who was
bitten by supposed mad-dog few weeks
AGO. was suddenly seized with symptoms
of hydrophobia yesterday morning, al
though it was supposed he had recovered
from the effects of the bite.
Mariet.esO was at work in the fields yes
terday. and when he was seized with
paroxvsms he was pinioned and taken TO
his home in Roseyhayne. He was securely
bound with straps, and ether was admins
tered until be became quiet.
The rawlings and screams of the man
could be heard for long distance by tho
neighbors. and he suffered terrible agony:
Finally he recovered consciousness and
was calm. He has remained in this state
since. and it is now hoped may recover.
About six weeks ago dog owned by an
Italian fruit-tarmer here went mad and
bit a number of dogs and cats. All the
animals that were bitten were killed, but
one of them had attacked Marietieso. he
was treated for hydrophobla in accordance
with DIR. Pasteur's method, and has shown
no signs Of hydrophobia until now.
The friends of MarletiesO claim that he
is not mad, but that the attack is due to
fits to which he has been subject. 1t Is
denied. however, by Others that he has
shown signs of fits until after he was bit

Pension for an Injury Received in Play.

notwithstanding Bussey on Monday
granted q pension in the case of Andrew
long, late of Company A, Fifty-ninth IL
linois volunteers. The claimant in his ap-
plication alleges that in June, 1855, com.
rade came up behind aim in play, and
catching him by the shoulders placed his
knee in his back aud pulled him backward,
injuring his back and spine. The testi-
mony in the case corroborated this state
ment. The claim was originally rejected
on the ground that the disabling injury
was not received while the soldier was IN
line of duty. notwithstanding Bussey,
however. takes a contrary view and di-
rects that the pension issue.
A statement prepared at the Pension Of
fce shows that 1880 pension-certitcates
were issued during the week ended March
