IN THE HOUSE.
A Bitter Controversy Over the Clayton
Breckenridge Case.

Breckenridge Case.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-In the house
today, during the absence OF Speaker
Reed, on motion of Cannon, OF Illinois,
Burrows, of Michigan, was elected
speaker pro TEN. OF the house, and took
the chair amid applause from both
sides.
Mansur, of Missouri, reported reso-
luton authorizing a subcommittee on
territories to proceed to Arizona and
New Mexico, and inquire into the social
educational, financial and moral condi.
tions existing in those territories, and
to report whether they are prepared for
statehood also to visit Utah and inquire
into the extent of celestial marriages in
that territory.
Buchanan objected to its considera-
ton.
The house then proceeded to con-
side1ation OF the Clayton Breckenridge
case.
Bergen resumed his argument in favor
of unseating Breckinridge. After de-
nicting the assassination of Clayton, he
criticized Breckenridge for not resigning
his seat and thereby misowning the
advantage he had gained from the MUIR
der He had not done 80, but had
stood by those who had stood by him at
the death. Was Breckenridge party to
the conspiracy which ended in the
tragedy? He trusted not. lie was

THE COUNCIL AND RAILROAD.
"Citizen' Expresses His Views on The
Matter

EDITORS HERALD: Some few years
ago 1 came to your city and bought
home, intending to spend the few re-
naming years OF my life in this un-
equaled climate. l take deep interest
in everything pertaining to the present
and future of this favored city. Yester-
day afternoon l secured good seat in
the council hall to listen to the proceed
ings relative to the railroad franchise
asked for by the Hon. w. II. Workman
and other responsible parties. In front
Of me sat councilman with his feet
upon the elaborate desk, while he often
emptied his mouth upon the beautiful
carpet.
asked gentleman at my side the
name of the councilman splitting on the
carpet, and he replied: "Oh, that is
your man." He had little to say for or
against the great undertaking which
would be OF such untold advantage to
this city, but when Mr.. Van Dusen
offered an amendment in the form of a
new section, giving any other railroad OF
100 miles in length the right to go into
partnership with the Union Pacific by
paying one-half the cost, he voted in
favor of it. If the company were short
sighted enough to accept such
a franchise, what would be the
final result? The company would
spend perhaps millions in building their
terminal stations, ships, levee, ETC., ETC.,
enhancing the value of their own prop
erty to great figure over its own origi-
nal cost; then another company comes
along and takes half, paving only the
original cost with interest. Soon anoth-
er company wants to run over their road,
paying one-third of the original cost, and
SO it may be indefinitely extended, until
the original company has been robbed
of all its increased value, and thrown
into inextricable chaos in handling its
business.
Ask the officers of the Southern Pa
citic about the friction and great trouble
they had while the Santa Fe used their
track and terminals some four years
ago.
We all know what the entrance of the
Santa Fe has done for the city and
county, and we also realize that the II
acres given to the Santa Fe resulted in
the building of levee of far greater
value than all the land given. Here
comes road opening up a section of
country with great resources, which
will be directly tributary to Los Angeles.
Let us be generous and not 'kill the
goose that will lay golden eggs"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Acting Secre-

President Monday evening. "The
President desires me to say that he has

you in your affiiction, he awaits the
official details of the occurance necessary
to determine his action in regard

HIGH PRICED PENCILS.
City Auditor Lopez Rebukes the
Board of Education.

If the board of education is only given
enough rope it will evidently break it's
own neck; some few people may be the
poorer if it does come to such an
untimely end, but the tax payers gener-
ally will gain. The board recently
made demand for $S72 for lead pencils
which they purchased from Lazarus and
Meier. City Auditor Lopez refused to
approve this bill yesterday, very justly
considering it exorpitant. He calls
attention, in his letter to the board, that
good pencils can be purchased for fifteen
cents dozen, while those mentioned in
the bill cost 361s cents dozen. The
difference in the prices would amount to
1850. The bill seems to be IN line with
the policy of the board, as witness the
charges on the new high school build
ing, and prices paid for lots for school
houses rasss

At the meeting of the police commits
sioners last evening Patrolman McKeon,
who was injured while on duty, was al
lowed full pay for twenty-nine and half
days, the time he was laid up and unable
for work. His doctors bill, amounting to
$51, was referred to the committee on
finances. Clerk Downes read communi-
cation from Mr.. F. H. Russell, the lumber
dealer on Water street, stating that his
property was being destroyed by the hood
lums of the neighborhood. He also stated
in his communication that they were a
to himself and others in that vicinity, and
asked for police protection. The board
voted that the officers in that section be
instructed to keep a close lookout
for the miscreants and the superintendent
was advised to make use of any measures
that he might deem proper to discontinue
the deeds Of the miscreants. The super
intendent was also authorized to place as

appearing in court ununiformed and under
the influence of liquor, appeared before the
board and pleaded guilty to the charges,
but stated in his own defense that he had
been sick and had taken some liquor for
faintness and that it had gone to his head.
The board then went into executive ses-

cided to reduce McGann one grade.

NEW HAVEN BICYCLE CLUB.

Prosperous Condition OF the Organi.
zatiOn-A Reception to Mr.. r. f.
Weaver-The Ten.Mile Run Open
to All on Thursday-A Special Prize
offered to Any Rider Breaking the
Record.
The club house of the New Haven Bicy-
Gle club has recently undergone complete
and thorough renovation and is now one
of the handsomest bicycle club houses in
the country. New carpets of an attractive
pattern have been laid in the various rooms,
the billiard room has been improved by the
laying of fine hard wood floor and new
furniture has been placed in all the rooms
The affairs of the club are in most pros
porous condition financially as we'll as 9TH
erwise. During the more than ten years
of the clubs existence the finances have
never been in as satisfactory condition as
they are at the present time. The club has
no debts of any kind or nature. The mem
bership numbers one hundred and fifteen
at the present time and new members are
being constantly added to the roll. There
are now six applications for membership
on file which will be acted upon at the
next meeting of the club.
1t is expected that the reception and
Smoker to F. E. Weaver, upon his re-
turn to this city, will occur on Friday eve
ming of this week. Advices have been re-
ceived to the effect that Mr.. Weaver will
probably arrive in this city to-day. In
the event of his arriving here on time the
social festivities will be held on Friday
evening. The reception will be given by
the club and will be open for club MEM
beers only. Cards of invitation will be
sent to all members of the club as soon as
it is definitely ascertained upon what day
the reception will occur. An unusually
good time is anticipated, and it is expected
that the members will be out in force.
The race to be given tomorrow under
the auspices of this club and open to all
bicycle riders in the city bids fair to prove
very interesting event. The course will
be around Branford green and return, by
way of East Haven. Already six or eight
entries have been received and more are
expected. A special prize of beautiful
engraving has been offered by the club to
any rider breaking the record of forty
minutes and five seconds over the course.
