PACIFIC RAILROAD DEBTS.
One Bin to be Reported Covering the
Government Indebtedness.

After discussing the question for a month
the House committee on Pacific railroads this
morning reached a decision respecting the
method to be pursued in the treatment of the
pending bills looking to the payment of the
government indebtedness of the Union
and Central Pacific Railroad companies.
Upon motion of Mr.. Cooper a resolution
was adopted which binds the committee to re-
port one bill covering both companies in its
provisions, and subsequently another motion
prevailed to take up at the next meeting the
bill reported by the Senate committee. But
one member of the committee was absent from
the meeting. and the opposition to the adop-
tlon OF the Cooper resolution was confined to
three members.
IN FAVOR OF THE COMBINATION BILL
Mr.. Mason made an argument in support OF
the motion, in the course Of which he took the
ground that if the committee desired to accom-
plish any legislation it must report the combi-
nation bill, as the House could never be pre-
vailed upon to pass a separate measure in the
case Of each railroad.
Several propositions in the ma
ture OF amendments or substitutes
providing for postponement of the entire
subject until the next session of Congress and
for the reporting of separate bills in the case
OF the Union Pacific and Central Pacific were
rejected before the question was put and car
rled on the Cooper resolution.

Water Tomorrow.

Work on the connections with the new so
inch main which 10 TO supply the people Of
Capitol Hill with water 10 rapidly going on,
and it is safe to say that before tomorrow morn
ing the water will be flowing freely and IN
interruptedly. This morning large force Of
men were at work at the corner Of New Jersey
avenue and street making preparations for
connecting the old 3o-inch main which runs
along New Jersey avenue with the new So-inch
main lately laid through the Capitol
gr FUNDS along East Capitol street
When the water was first turned on
the flow was through the 20-inch main
which runs up d street The work Of tapping
the So-inch main at the corner of New Jersey
avenue and b street and connecting II with the
new So-inch main in the middle of b street
was rapidly progressing when STAR reporter
visited the scene this morning. Two large
noies had been excavated and the old and new
pipes We're plainly in sight The old pipe had
Two grooves in il about three feet apart running
completely around Near by was large ""
snapped pipe. As soon as everything is ready
tonight the cut section of the old 80 inch main
VIII be removed and the "Y" slipped into place.
The connections will be made after 8 O'Clock
ana the work will be done with the
aid OF lanterns Mr.. Charles Cunning
ham has charge of the work. A large
oo-inch valve, supplied with crowned gear
ing, will also be slipped into place so that
the water may be turned of in case OF accident
Down below, at the corner Of New Jersey ave-
nue. and b street, there was another force Of
men at work in a large hole cut into the middle
OF the street They were making preparations
to tap the large 30-inch main and connect it with
the old Ilber creek sewer, and putting a blow
on In. so that in case of accident. or whenever
1T is deemed necessary to clean out the pipes,
the water may be emptied directly into the
sewer. The operation Of cutting out the section
for the purpose of making the connections is
quite interesting. Two experienced men who
have been in the employ Of the government
upward Of twenty FEARS performed the diff
cult work. Armed with cold chisels and ham,
mers they picked away at the large iron pipe,
cutting it away piece by piece until a mere
shell remained. The pipe is II inches
thick. The cutting began yesterday morning
at 10 O'Clock and q cut about y Of an inch
deep all around the pipe has been made. Col.
Elliot inspected the work about noon today
and was highly gratified at the progress that
has been made. By tomorrow morning the
connections will be intact

DID HE KILL HIS WIFE.
Testimony OF the Victims Mother In
the Case Of w. ID. Cross.

In the Criminal Court this afternoon, after
the report Of the trial Of w. D. Gross, colored,
for wife murder had closed on the frst edi-
ton OF The STAR, Mrs. Emma Turner, colored,
the mother Of the deceased, testified that her
daughter was married to defendant July 25th
last; she was but seventeen years Of
age and was Of tall and slender build
Her full name was Harriet Rebecca. She was
at home on that day. After she and Cross went
out she saw her daughter on @ street after she
had been shot. She lived till the 10th,
when she died. Will came in about
7:30 o'clock and she said sup
per was ready and he said he hadn't
time and went up stairs and called for light.
The deceased went up stairs with light and
they had some words; did not hear what was
said till Will said, If you follow me will kill
you"
Here the witness broke down and cried aloud
but was composed in a short time. Wit
ness asked what they were auarrelinc
about, and the daughter said Webb was
going out to stay all night, and if he did
she would follow him. Witness advised her
to stay home telling her it was her father and
mothers house. They then went out, she
dressed in her every day clothes and Win car
ryin2 the umbrella. In thirty minutes
Mhi came running back saying
that Hattie had killed herself
witness told him that he was a liar that he had
killed her, and witness commenced hollering
murder. Will told her to stop and tried to keep
her from hollering, and then ran away from
her. Witness identified the pistol.
On cross-examinaton witness said Will had
always been affectIonate and kind to her
daughter. He had furnished the rooms before
they were married. She had never heard cross
word between them till that night; never knew
her to be in fit of dependency after her
marriage. When Will came back that night he
was crying and apparently in much distress.
Witness did not know that her son VIII went
with Cross to his fathers on Az street.

CAPITAL AND LABOR,
Points From the Senate Debate on the
Antitrust Bill.

Mr.. Edmunds in his speech in the Senate
this afternoon said that people could not shut
their eyes to the fact that, if capital combined,
If great industrial establishments combined to
regulate wages, the workmen were COM
PEELED also to combine to defend them
selves. And SO this country, and other coun-
tries, had been for the last forty years turned
into great camps of enemies. while there ought
to be only one camp of cooperative friends
Even in the city of Washington, where Con-
gress had exclusive jurisdiction, masons, car
penters, bakers, tailors, printers and all trades
had their combinations, which we're armed
camps making aggressive warfare against the
rest OF mankind with which they were brought
into relation or contact
COMBINATIONS OF DOCTORS AND LAWYERS.
Mr.. Morgan asked him whether he had ever
heard of combinations in Washington between
doctors and between members of the bar
MIR. Edmunds believed that there were such
combinations.
Mr.. Morgan-Does this bill reach ANYTHING Of
the kind?
Mr.. Edmunds-I do not know whether it does
or not
Mr.. Hoar spoke of an association of lawyers
In the early days of Massachusetts which had
rule that no member would ever charge less
Mr.. Edmunds remarked that he did not ever
get up to that standard. He gave his advice
FREE, GRATIS"
He had learned of case which occurred
here only a few months ago where skilled
printer, a citizen of the United States, man
of good character and with little money (such
things sometimes went together even in the
Senate of the United States). applied to the
public printer for employment, although he was
just the man who was wanted to fill vacancy
the public printer was not permitted to employ

WHAT KILLED THE FIREMEN.
Not the Fire but Faultily Constructed
Building.

INDIANAPOLIS, March N.-Coroner Wagner
yesterday completed his investigation into the
disaster connected with the Bowen-Merill FIRE,
which occurred here on March II and which
resulted in the killing Of twelve fremen. The
verdict in each Of the cases, twelve in number,
was alike. with the exception that the deaths
did not all occur on the same day. The coroner
finds that ''the Bowen-Meril building was con-
