House and Senate at War.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-There Is an
interesting little fight going on between
the senate and house over the urgent
deficiency appropriation bill made up
principally OF appropriations for the gov
ernment printing Office, and unless the
deadlock between the two bodies Is
broken there may be somewhat of an in
corruption OF the work 1t the government
printing Office. The senate added to the
bill provision for the payment of
salaries to the clerks of senators during
the interim between the two sessions of
this congress. The effect of this provis-
Ion would be Indirectly to make the
clerks to the senators annual instead OF
session employees. The house refused
concurrence in the senate amendment
and the senate confsrees refuse to sign
the conference report and permit the
other items of the appropriation bill to
become law unless the house yields.
The fight is really continuation of the
struggle between the two bodies lest SEES
sion.
The senate by an amendment to the
regular annual appropriation bill made
senator's clerks annual employees, but
the house refused concurrence and fn-
ally carried its point. the amendment
being stricken from the Hill. In the
closing days Of the session, however, the
senate passed a simple resolution to
which of course the assent of the house
was not necessary, providing for the
payment of senator's clerks during the
recess from the senate contingent fund.
There was no money available in this
fund and it is now sought to secure the
requisite amount bv a deficiency appro-
priation. The house is steadfast In Its
determination to resist this, and the
members of the appropriation committee
say such thing as paying regular salaries
from the contingent appropriations was
never contemplated, and that to permit
it would be for the house to abdieate its
power of scrutinizing 1t and providing
for the expenditure Of the public moneys.

HOLIDAY SaAniOn.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The holiday
session has affected the senate heavily in
the matter of attendance, aud but sever
senators put in an appearance at tbs
north wing of the capitol to-day. 1t
was understood when the senate ad-
journed Wednesday that the session
would be purely formal, and, In fact, it
was ordered only to escape constitu-
tional inhibition against an adjournment
of over three days, so nothing can be
done until Monday and then the election
bill will be taken up again. There is to
be no cloture, no finance, nor anything
for q whole week to create diversion
and debate on the election bill. A Re-
publican senator, a strong champion OF
the bill, said: 1--WE will go on talking
about the bill next week aud many
speeches will be delivered to empty seata
and empty galleries. We can't help it.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-About fifty
members for ten minutes went through
the form of holding session of the
house to-day, then they adjourned and
went off TO continue their holiday recess.
The Southern members, especially, were
anxious TO get away and enjoy q sleigh
ride, for Washington to-day mas had the
unusual experience of tirst-rate sleighing
and the streets are alive with all imsgin-
able sorts of vehicles on runners.
THE FORCE BILL.
While the chances of the senate pass
ing the force bill may be little greater
now than they were two weeks ago, the
Democrats are now more confident than
ever that 1t will never become a law and
the numbe of Republicans who feel the
same way is not decreasing. The cause
of the Democratic confidence is this: IL
the bill should pass the senate It will be
in an amended form, which will make it
necessary for the house TO take it up and
discuss it again before it can be finally
adopted. It is well-known that many
Republicans only voted for the measure
In the house at the last session because
they were
BULLDOZED INTO IT
by Speaker Reed. OF these men a good
many were defeated, aud some of them
lay their defeat to their vote on the force
bill There are six of these Republican
members who openly declars that they
will fight the bill if it comes back to the
house, and if they do, it cannot pass.
The knowledge of these facts makes the
Democrats easier IN their minds than
ever about the force bill.

BRIDGEPORT.
GEORGE f. ECKART.

George f. Eckart, well known and
highly respected German citizen of this
city, after long and lingering Illness,
died at his residence, 202 North avenue,
Sunday, Mry %, at the age of AZ. Mr.
Eckart was born in Saxony, city of Mem
ingen, and came to this country in 1854.
After being engaged in different occu-
pations, he received an appointment on
the steamer John Brooks, which was then
plying between this port and New York.
At the breaking out of the war, this boat
was purchased by the United States gov
eminent and, being placed under new
management and new officers, Mr. Eckart
received complimentary discharge from
the boats former officials. He was inn
mediately offered new position by its
new managers, which was accepted and
he sailed for the Potomac river, where the
boat was engaged in transferring troops
down the river and conveying wounded
and disabled soldiers In return. In 1864,
he returned to this city and entered the
/ Wheeler &c Wilson Manufacturing Co. as
contractor, which position he held until
the summer of 1874. At that time, asso.
ciating with his brother Frederick, he
erected brewing plant on the corner OF
North avenue and Lindley street under
the firm name of Eckart Bros. The
Spring of 1877, he welded Miss Carrie
eldest!daughter of Charles Rohrbach OF
this city and took up his residence on
North Washington avenue. Later on
making rapid progress in their business
the firm were compelled to increase theil
facilities. Then the present new and
commodious building was put up. About
six years ago, the firm built the elegant
new residence ON the lot fronting OF
North avenue, which, after being com
pleted, was occupied by Mr. Eckart ant
his family. In the Fall of 1886, his
health began to fail and his many friends
in this city proposed that a party o.
pleasure seekers be organized, insisting
that he should be one of the party tx
make delightful trip, in hopes that HI
would recover his health. The party
left this city the following February ant
visited all the principal cities in the I'm
lou and went as far south as Texas
While in Houston, he purchased larg'
block In the central part of the city il
behalf Of the firm and, at that time, thu
intention of the firm was to erect a larg
brewing plant. After lapse of tws
months, the party returned to this cit.
and, apparently, their friend seemed i'm
proved. After being at home for a shor
time, his difficulty seemed to return witt
new vigor and it was deemed advisabl
by his friends and his physician that Al
operation should be performed, which b
readily consented to. Arrangement
