HOUSE.

Prayer having been delivered the democratic
program was carried out by Mr. Outhwaite
(Ohio) raising the point Of order that there
was no quorum present.
The Speaker glanced over the array of empty
seats, and. without troubling himself to make
count of the members present, responded
drily, "The point is well taken"
For a moment nothing was done, none of
the republican leaders being in their seats; and
then MIR. McCreary (Ky.) took the initiative
and moved a call Of the House. He was not
sustained by his party colleagues, however and
on a viva voce vote the motion appeared to be
lost
Then Mr.. Allen CMich) threw himself into
the breach and demanded the yeas and nays.
The vote resulted-yeas, ll5; nays, TO-
One hundred members were announced as
paired on this vote.
A quorum having appeared, Mr.. McCreary
moved to dispense with further proceedings
under the call, but he was antagonized on his
own side of the House, and on demand Of Mr.
Bynum CInd the yeas and nays were ordered.
Further proceedings under the call were
dispensed with-yeas, 1873; nays, 5s-and the
journal of yesterdays proceedings was read.
Mr.. Enloe (Tenn. asked to have the journal
corrected, in that it recorded that on certain
vote he was present and not voting. He was
not present at any time during that vote, and
though he appreciated the tribute to his fdei-
ity In attending the sessions of the House II
was at the expense OF accuracy.
Mr.. Rogers ARK objected to the request.
Mr.. Eploe then moved that the journal be
corrected in accordance with the facts.
The Speaker was about to put the question
whom MIR. Rogers claimed the door for the pur-
pose Of debating it
"a DKIIBERArrvE sopr"
Mr.. Rogers said that he desired to bring the
House back to the idea that this was deliber-
ative body. tLaughterl. He was happy to
have the opportunity to call the attention Of
the country to the fact that the House was op-
Grating under what was called a
code Of rules So far ~ his
discernment went the rules did not seem
to bind anybody much. II was not surprising

A WILD MAN LOOSE.
A Strange Being Who 10 Frightening
Women I'm Missouri.

CHICAGO, July lo.-A dispatch from AIexan-
dria. Mo-, says: People living north of this
place have been badly frightened recently by
the appearance Of wild man. Areport comes
from Keokuk to the effect that the man has
also been seen on several occasions on the out
skirts OF that city, on which occasions he
badly frightened women and children. He il
described as being old in appearance with a
shaggy head and ferocious cast Of counter
ance. HIS long, matted white hair streams
from the palsied head, while his eyes roll
wildly either with fever or delirium The crea-
ture appears in almost . naked condition, car
rying only q small red blanket which he uses as
couch. His chief delight is to lie down near
the railroad track, remain there a short time
and then jump up wildly and soon repeat the
operation. He has occasionally begged for food
at farm houses, but his condition has alarmed
women and he has been driven away.
1t is believed that this man is no other than
VIM. Mars, prominent old resident of Pal
myra, No., who disappeared from that place
some weeks ago. All efforts to capture the
strange man have proven unavailing.
