Most or the Day spent on a District of
Columbia Bill.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Sin the House
this morning prior to the reading of the
Journal Mr.. Anderson of Kansas raised the
point of no quorum.
The effort of the speaker pro tenn to count
a quorum proving unavailing a call of the
House was ordered.
The call disclosed the presence of 1856
members and the sergeant-at-arms was dis -,
patched after the absentees.
Mr.. Cummings of New York raised a
laugh by a request that the Maine delega-
ton be excused on account Of political ILL
ness. Every member of this delegation
was absent.
A quorum having appeared, further pro-
ceedings under the call were dispensed with
and the journal of Saturdays proceedings
was read'an approved.

bill was passed to create port of entry at
Eagle Pass, Tex, instead of at Indian Rock,
Tex.

joint resolution was passed granting use of
a portion of the United States military

mittee on the District of Columbia, the
pending question being to recommit the
Atkinson bill, with instructions to report 1t
back with an amendment requiring the
Baltimore and Potomac railway to remove
its depot on Washington to the intersection
of Maryland and Virginia avenues. The
motion to recommit was lost by a
vote of AZ yeas TO ll3 nays, the
clerk noting quorum. Under the rules,
this vote, without further action, recon-
mitted the bill to the committee of the
whole, and it was thereupon moved that
the House go in such committee. The mo
tion was agreed to. The entire afternoon
was consumed in consideration of the
measure; but when the committee rose and
reported the bill to the House with ia vor-
able recommendation, the quorum had
vanished, and the House at $50 o'clock
adjourned.

edly Out of the Completed Files.
WASHINGTON, Sept. s.-Four members of
the special House committee investigating
the charges against Commissioner Raum
were present at the meeting this morning.
Mr.. Goodnight was detained in Kentucky y
by sickness in his family.
George E. Lemon, the pension attorney,

sioner Raum's in transactions in which
culpability is charged against
Commissioner Raum, took the stand
and read prepared statement.
He admits that he Endorsed two of Com
missioner Raum's notes. one for 1000 and
one for $4,000, but says that he did 80 as a
business accommodation to a man whom he
believed to be solvent.
SAW NO IMPROPERLY IN 1T.
He saw no impropriety in doing 30, be-
cause of Commissioner Raum's official posi-
ton, and he denied that he had profited in
any exceptional manner from Commissioner
Raum's completed files" order.
There was considerable sharp shooting be-
tween Mr.. Lemon and Mr.. Cooper.
The latter eudeavored to learn what was
the amount of Mr.. Lemons fortune and his
income. Mr.. Lemon replied that 1t was
none of Mr.. Cooper's business.
Mr. Cooper renewed his efforts to have
the books Of the refrigerator company pro-
duced.
The committee, after private consulta-
ton, decided that it would reserve its de-
cision upon the question until it had an OPP
portunty to ascertain the extent Of its
power to compel the production of private
papers.

A BAGGAGE MAN KILLED AND
TWO BADLY INJURED.

The West Shore Road Near Lockport
the Scene OF the Collision-The
Square Interlocking OF the Engines
all That Prevented Terrible Loss or
Life.

the engine of the east-bound train was
forced back over half it's length into a
Wagner buffet car No. 400, and baggage

flesh wound of. one thigh and several cuts
ON the head. No other injuries of any ac-

east one train would have cut the other In
two and the loss Of life would have been
appalling. The west-bound train Is due

HEAVY SCRATCHING AT BANGOR.
BANGOR, Me-, Sept. Sin Bangor to-
day the lignest vote for years was polled,
and there was great scratching OF tickets.
Men who have been in politics for years say
they have never known anything like the
manner in which tickets were cut. The re-
suit in the city is greatly in doubt and
the republicans are not claiming the city by
over 200 at the outside. The prospect is
good for the election of at least one demo
cratic representative, but nothing definite
can be told till the entire vote is counted.
Extreme quiet characterized the election
