to the House Chamber.
The Attempt TO Keep a Quorum
Painful for the Maine Man.
Republicans In Caucus Consider the
Case OF Absent Members.

WASHINGTON, September 18.-A quorum
was not counted until half an hour after the
House met today When the journal was
read the vote on its approval was-yeas, 1874; /;
nays, none. The quorum having disappeared
call of the House was ordered. The call
showed the presence of 17S members and the
Speaker directed the clerk to call the roll on
the approval of the journal.
Mr.. Haugen of Wisconsin moved to dis
pense with further proceedings under the
call. During a call of the roll one door has
always been kept open to allow ingress and
egress. Today it was latched, and two door
keepers stationed at it to prevent members
leaving the chamber. The first gentleman to
resent this enforced Imprisonment was Mr..
kilgore Of Texas, who forced back the fas-
Jennings and stalked into the lobby. At the
moment Mr.. Kilgore drove the door flying
wide open, Mr.. Dingley of Maine was ap-
preaching from the other side. The door
struck him with full force in the face, bruis-
ing his nose badly. For time it was feared
and generally reported that Mr.. Dingley's
nose had been broken. This was found not
to be the case. Mr.. Kilgore was soon fol-
lowed by Mr.. Grain of Texas, who adopted
the same. method Of procedure. Mr.. Cum
mmings. of New York and Mr.. Coleman of
Louisiana approached the door together, and
upon being Informed that there was mo
thor0ughfare" manifested such disposition
to break the door from its hinges that one of
the doorkeepers prudently removed the latch
and permitted them to pass. After this the
rule was somewhat relaxed. Further pro-
ceedings under the call were dispense with
yeas, 135; nays, 3S-and the journal aps
153; nays, 5-the clerk noting
a quorum.
Mr.. Haugen demanded the previous ques-
tIon on the Langston-Ven contested cleo
tion case. On this the vote stood-yeas, 135;
nays, TO-. There being no quorum. the House
at 3O5 adjourned.

A6SENTEEs WANTED.
With Their Assistance Congress
Night Soon Adjourn.

WASHINGTON, September 1S.-The caucus
of Republican members of the House this
afternoon lasted an hour and quarter The
sole topic of discussion was the status Of
business in the House and the best means Of
obtaining quorum to do business. 1t was
found that there are now in Washington 145
Republican members, q less than quorum.
There are consequently % Republican alb
sentees. The caucus resolved to make every
effort to secure the attendance of these men,
bers 1t is stated that if these absentees re-
turn to Washington the remaining business
of the session can be closed up in few days
while failure to secure the attendance of q
Republican quorum will tend to protract the
session indefinitely.
Mr.. Walker of Massachusetts introduced
in the House today an amendment to abe res
Oiution introduced by himself last week pro-
viding for an amendment to the rules Of the
House relative to roll-calls. The amend
ment to the amendment provides that any
member in the hall of the House at any time
during call of the House who fails to vote
when the yeas and nays are called, under
this rule shall be fined $40, and the amount
of the fine deducted from his pay, the Speak
er not to entertain motion for change or
remission Of his fine.

TO BUILD THE LINK,
Skowhegan and NeighborIng Towns
Want Five Miles of Railroad.

SKowHEGAN, September 1S.-There are
three separate and distinct railroads that
now enter Somerset county. One, the Maine
Central, runs to Skowhegan. the shire town
OF that county. and has terminus here.
The second runs from Oakland to Norridge-
wock, thence up the river to North Anscn
and was recently extended to Solon andBing-
ham. The third runs from Pittsfield. located
on the line of the Maine Central between
Waterville and Bangor, in Somerset county,
to Hartland. and strong move is now being
made to extend the same to Athens, which
lies northwest of Skowhegan.
Thus Skowhegan, the shire town of the
county and place of more than 5000 inhab-
itants, has no railroad communication with
any other portion of Somerset county except
Fairfield, unless by the way of Waterville
and Oakland upon the Somerset railroad,
and by way of Waterville and Pittsfield on
the Maine Central. A railroad from Show
hogan to Norridewock would put the valley
of the Kennebec above SkOwhegan, and
Western and Northwestern Somerset in di-
rect communication with Skowhegan. A
charter has been secured for such line, the
money raised and a survey made. 1t Is now
the plan to confer with the management of
the Maine Central as to the construction and
operation OF such line and then begin work
immediately
