Summary Of the Daily News
CONGRESS.

IN the Senate on the 18th a long discussion
arose over the approval Of the journal. The
elections bill was taken up and Mr.. George
spoke at length in opposition, but before he
concluded yielded to a motion TO adjourn in
order that members might attend the funeral
of George Bancroft, the historian. e.. The
House indulged in lively tilt over the ap-
proval of the Journal, the tactics being on
the part of the Democrats to do as little as
possible while the Senate was forcing the
issue on the elections bill. After q long and
confused discussion the journal was ap
proved by a vote of 137 to lol and the House
adjourned.
AT the the expiration of the morning hour
on the 20th Mr.. Aldrich asked that the SEN
ate proceed to consider the resolution for a
change of the rules. The motion was agreed
to and the discussion continued until
O'Clock, when the elections bill came up as
the regular order and Mr.. George continued
his speech in opposition. After he had
spoken at great length the Senate got into a
sQuabble and finally adjourned. The House
got into big rumpus over approving the
journal, but il was finally approved, and the
District of Columbia bill taken up. A
quorum soon disappeared and the House

over the approval of the journal and a fight
on the part of the Democrats against the
elections bill and the adoption of the closure
rule, and at midnight adjourned without ac-
complishing any thing. The House had a
stormy session. Mr.. Mills (Texas) was es-
pecially severe upon the Speaker, and the
proceedings were turbulent but the journal
was finally approved and the District of Co
lumbia bill was taken up and finally reported
to the House, but when a vote was reached
the Democrats left the House and, no quorum
being present, an adjournment was forced.
WHEN the Senate met on the 22d no quorum
was present, but within half hour a suffi-
cient number OF Senators appeared and the
fight on the change of rules was resumed,
which continued until it was finally agreed
to take recess until next morning. The
proceedings of the House were less disorder
ly than the day before, and the District Of
Columbia bill was finally passed, and the
naval appropriation bill taken up and con-
sidereduntil adjournment.

INJURY OF A BRAVE CONSTABLE.
Pittsburg Tapped at Last BY the Great
Reading Railroad.
MINOR NEWS FROM THE THREE STATES


ysPEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH:
JEANETTE, April IA tragic affair
occurred last night soon after the fast line
on the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad swept past
here on its way east. There was on board
Constable r. Mcdonald, OF West Newton,
who had in charge a man named Sandy Will
son, who had been missing from Greensburg
for some time, and was badly wanted there
on several charges of assault and battery
preferred by his wife. The constable had
taken the handouts off Wilson, who said he
y anted to smoke. just as the train passed
this point Officer Mcdonald says Wilson rose
in his seat snd dealt him terrible blow,
and then rushed for the door. The plucky
constable hastily gathered himself up and
followed Wilson, who by this time was
poised on the lower step OF the car, and ap-
peared as if about to jump.
The train was running very fast by this
time, and the officer called to Wilson to
stop. He paid no attention to the officer,
but leaped into the dark, and bracing him
self the brave officer also jumped headlong
from the train after his prisoner.
What followed is only told by the officer,
as Wilson probably never knew when he
touched the ground. Mcdonald says when
he leaped from the train be never saw or
heard freight coming down the west-bound
track, and was struck by 1t and knocked in
sensible before he could even catch glimpse
of the ill-tated man who had preceded him In
his mad leap. Nor had the prisoner seen the
Oncoming freight, as he must have jumped
directly on the track in front of the engine,
and was ground under the wheels of the freight
tram. meeting an almost instant death.
The passengers, who saw the whole affair, said
il WAS all over in moment, and when the fast
line was finally stopped and backed up, there
was nothing to do but pick up the officer and
convey him to Greensbure. The prisoner was
beyond all help, and was handed over to an
undertaken for burial. Constable Mcdonald,
instead of falling under the wheels of the train
rushing in an opposite direction. probably owes
his life to the blow which Wilson dealt him,
and which prevented him from following as
closely as he intended.
The constable was taken to Greensburg on
the same train, where he was carried
ambulance to a hotel, attended by Two doctors.
To-day he told very clear story of the affair,
and tonight is reported as being on the road to
recovery. He is badly bruised, In addition to
having a collar bone broken, but it is not
thought he has sustained internal mi juries. as
was believed last night.
