Three Persons Killed md SIX Injured on

MULLEN, NEE. August 26.-OSing to
a misplaced switch on the Burlington &

however, were unable to close the
switch and attempted to stop the othel
train, but waited too long before doing
so, and the two trains came together

table. But tho Speaker had intimate
that no would rule, not only on thi
qneation but also on the question as /
whether under the special order tb
lara bill was the unfinished buaiuess
His Judgment was that under tho term
Of that order the House could not con
sider the lard bill any further. It wa
clear from tho terms that to-day ant
tomorrow were devoted 10 the consider
alton OF tho option bill. Tho tim,
assigned TO the lard bill had expiret
yesterday and Its consideration coult
not be resumed at this time.
In support OF bis position he quoted
from the decision made by Speaker Reed
upon tho copyright bill. In that de-
cision the Speaker said: The Chair is Of
the opinion that the day having ex pired
which was allotted TO that business until
another day Is allotted 10 that commit.
tee, 1t will not be competent to act on
that notion"
Mr. Blount contended that In the
special order there was distinc. time
given 10 each bill mentioned, and the
Time designated for the lard bill had ex.
pired. ~. -, :" :
A lengthy debate followed and the
Speaker then rendered the following dc.
Tho House will have seen BY the dis.
cusslon that this aud similar questions
have had considerable variety OF decis.
IONS and it would not be possible to recon.
Gle with each other all the rulings and
decisions which have been made. The
chair thinks, however, that the decision
which was cited by tho gentleman from
Missouri governs this case. At the ad.
lonrnment on Saturday the House had
had the previous question ordered in nc.
cordance with the rule. The yeas and
nays had also been ordered. The taking OF
the yeas and nays had been interrupted
ny the absence Of quorum. The gen.
tleman in charge OF the bill asked il the
matter would come up again, and the
chair replied that he thought 1t would.
Tint was received without dissent on
the part OF the House. While the chair
does not think that this would be con.
trolling matter, nevertheless he thinks
the House ought to have the opportunity
70 pass on the question in the light OF |
decisions made in former Congresses and |
Under the intimation Of the chair. The
chair therefore thinks that the question
now before the House is the roll call on |
tne passage of the bill. Mr.. Mason, OF
Illinois, appealed from the decision.
On sustaining the decision the vote
'tood-yeas l95; nays 90; no quorum,
aud call Of the House was ordered,
One hundred and eighty.two mem.
oers having responded to their names,
Mr.. Brosus moved to dispense with
.nrlher proceedings under the call, upon
Which mott n the opponents OF the lard
'ill, In order TO consume time, ordered
he yeas and nays.
A motion to dispense with further
proceedings was agreed to-yeas 127;
lays 2l; and the vote recurred on sus.
aiming the decision OF the Speaker, but
he quorum had vanished and the vote
esnItea-yeas lo0; nays II. The clerk
icing unable to note quorum, another
