Crossings Blocked by Trains.
TOWNSVILLE, GA, Sept. 2l.-The fol-
lowing incident will show what wonder
fully saiubrious region this is. Henry
Mitchell was the enumerator for the Dun
canville census district The census regula-
tions required all deaths for the preceding
twelve months to be reported There had
been no deaths in this district. consequently
Mr.. Mitchell failed to report any. Supt.
Porter wrote him that he could not draw
his pay until he had reported some deaths.
1t should be added that the Duncanvile
district is populous one, too. 1t is to be
hoped that when the proper explanations
are made Mr.. Mitchell will receive his hard
earned pay, without being compelled like
the officials in the "Mikado," to kill some
body to prove his duty well done.

TRAIN wREoKERs' CONFESSIONS.
Persons Implicated By Them Make
Emphatic Denials.


ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 21.-As regards
the published confession of Cain and Buett
in reference to attempts at wrecks on the
Central road, John Herman said tonight
that he had no idea his name was connected
with such attempts until the time of his ar
rest. He had received no intimation from
any one that he would better leave town.
nor had he received money from any source
to defray the expenses of leaving. He did
not see Cain or Buett on either of the nights
mentioned when they claim he sought them
and asked for their help to do different
jobs.
PROTESTS HIS INNOCENCE.
John Cordial said the first intimation he
had of his being one Of the wreckers was
when be was dragged out of his house in
the early hours OF the morning and told he
was wanted for participation in the Castle
ton wrecking. He had been told
it would be wise for him
to leave town. He had received
no money in order to enable him to get out
of town. Mr.. Cordial emphatically denied
every allegation in the confessions which
seek ito connect him with the wrecking,
even as regards his having any knowledge
beforehand of the intention of anyone TO
place distractions on the track. Herman
had never approached him asking for his
aid in trying TO wreck the train.
FAITHFUL EMPLOYE.
Cordial added that he had always been a
faithful employe of the Central road, and
that since the day the strike was inaug-
urated he had not been near the railroad
property, nor did he mingle with the strik-
ers. He had remained at home most OF the
time.
Treasurer Price of District Assembly 246
stated that he had never promised to assist
financially, nor had he ever given either one
of the five alleged wreckers money to defray
their expenses out OF town. He added that
if any money was given them for such pur-
pose he would be most likely to know about
IL.
A COMPLETE DENIAL.
Master Workman E. J. Lee, of District
Assembly 246, said tonight that he did not
know Cain or Buett, and that neither of
them had been given money by the Knights
for any purpose, nor had they or
either of the other alleged wreckers
been told by him that they had better
get ont of town. He stated that he knew
nothing whatever concerning the attempts
at train wrecking until he read the pub
lished confessions. He denied everything
connecting him with either aiding or abet-
ting the alleged train wreckers

THIS WEEK In CONGRESS.
THE SUPREME COURT BILL STILL
BEFORE THE SENATE.

Conferees on the Tariff Bill Not
Likely to Agree Before Tomorrow
or Wednesday-House Republicans
VIII Continue the Attempt to Gust
Venaole and Elect Langston.
WASHINGTON, Sepa 21.-The unfinished
business before the Senate when it meets
TOMORROW will be the bill for the relief of
the supreme court, which was under dis
cussion several days last week. The bill
providing for the organization OF court
for the adjudication Of private land claims
also occupies u place on the calendar,
and may be called up at any time,
1t Is probable that some action
will be taken upon both bills this week, but
1t is difficult to say just what it will be. If
they should be passed It would probably be
necessary to send them to the House for
concurrence in the amendments, so that
it is not likely that either OF them will be-
come law at this session of congress.
The bills next in order of business as fixed
by the republican caucus are two labor bills.
and they will b. called up by Senator Blair
at the first opportunity.
Senator Cockrelrs opposition to the her.
man bill to increase the national bank cir
culation is sufficient to take that measure
out of the list of probabilities for this ses
sion.
THE TARIFF CONFERENCE.
The conferees on the tariff bill say to-day
that their agreement is not probable before
Tuesday or Wednesday. As the report goes
first to the House for consideration, 1t will
not reach the Senate until the latter part
of the week. 1t will then depend
upon the desire of the senators
TO get away, whether the discussion shall
be long or brief. Notice been has given
that three tariff speeches are to be made
when the conference report is made to the
Senate, by Messrs. Aldrich and Carlisle of
the finance committee and Mr.. Ingalls, who
was in the chair while the bill was under
| consideration in the Senate.
While waiting for the tariff bill, the

Republican Tariff Conferees Hold an
All Day Session.
WASHINGTON, Sept 2l.-The republican
conferees on the tariff bill have been in
session all day to-day endeavoring to COM
plete the work upon which they are en-
gagged. Tonight one of them said that he
was very we'll satisfied with the progress
that had been made. The conferees, he said.
had decided that it would be unwise
to make any statement respecting
either the status of any one of the schedules
or changes that had been made either in
rates or phraseology, for the reason that, as
a matter of absolute fact, none of them
were beyond the power of recall.
NOTHING DEFINITE ACCOMPLISHED.
Many items have been agreed upon, he said.
which would probably stand as agreed to.
but which were all liable to change.
and therefore nothing definite could
be stated as to what the
committee had done. The work of the
committee was like putting up row Of
bricks, as children do in play. The disar-
rangement Of single brick would result In
the disarrangement Of the entire line, and
until the matter was finally settled and the
report signed definite statement could not
be given.
NO REPORT BEFORE WEDNESDAY.
1t was reported during the afternoon that
the conferees had finished this work and
that the bill would be reported to-
morrow. The gentleman was asked If this
was the case, and he said it positively was
not. The best that could be done, IN his
estimation, would be to finish the report by
Tuesday night and have it ready to make
to the House Wednesday morning.

In the House.

In the House the Langston- Venable cleo
tion case has reached a stage which re-
quires further action before any other
business can be touched. The previous
question is operating, although in ordinary
course the District of Columbia committee
would be entitled to the floor to-
morrow. the yea and nay vote
upon the election case must be taken
before the usual order can prevail.
so it will be necessary for the republicans 70
secure quorum as preliminary to tbs dis
position OF any business. and, as a matter OF
fact, they confidently expect to have 165
members present Monday or Tuesday. at
latest, which, with the assistance rendered
by the presence of at least one democrat,
will, they believe, enable the House to dis
pose Of the election case.
THE PROGRAMME UNCERTAIN.
Should these expectations be realized
when the House assemblies tomorrow. the
election case may be disposed of in season
to allow part OF the day to the district
committee. What will follow depends upon
the progress of the conferees on the tariff
bill If their work is completed by Tues
day morning the report will be taken up
Immediately and disposed of in two davs at
most. II not the Senate amendments to the
general deficiency bill will be considered,
and when these measures are disposed of
the House will have completed its work SO
far as this sesson is concerned, and be ready
to adjourn.
