The Congressional SUMMARY.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 23-The senate
Saturday passed bill prohibiting book
making or pool-selling in Washington
City or Georgetown, or within one mile
OF the boundaries of those cities. An
amendment to extend the provisions of
the bill to the whole District, which would
include the race course, was disagreed to-.
The sundry civil appropriation bill was re-
ported. The Nicaragua canal bill was
considered. but no action on the bill was
taken. The conference report on the navy
appropriation bill was presented and
agreed to.
The house got into a snarl over the ap
proval of the journal and three hours were
consumed before the question was set
tied. The senate bill fixing the salaries OF
United States district judges at S., 600 per
annum was then taken up and, after brief
discussion, passed. The postoffice appro.
priation bill was taken up in committee OF
the whole and after debate laid aside
with favorable accommodation. The de.
ficiency bill was then taken up. The
Democrats insisted that it be read, and
then long debate took place as to when
it should be voted on. No conclusion was
reached, and it was 9 p m. before the
house adjourned.

several other lads on top of Rand's coke
ovens, at McDonald's station Saturday

fell into one of the mouths of the ovens
and from there into the fiery furnace be-
meath. His comrades gave a cry of terror.
Strong men with picks and iron bars
worked hard until they had torn the walls
OF the ovens down and scattered the fire.
There was little left of the boy. His
clothes were all gone, and his body was a
