SUICIDE BY PARIS GREEN.-1ester-
day morning about o'clock Mr.. Chas.
C. Horper, who resides about mile
south of the Government Hospital fol
the Insane, on the south side of the
Eastern branch, told one of his laborers
that he had been faithful hand, and
he wanted him to look out for every
thing, as he, Horner, would not live
throughout the day. Going to the
house he dissolved halfpound ofparis
green in water and swallowed the mix
ture. Then, with the utmost GOODNESS,
he told his wife that he was not feeling
well, and went to bed. About 10
o'clock Mrs. Horner went to her hus-
bands room and found him in great ag-
ony, and she at once summoned physi-
clans. In the meantime, however, Hor-
ner informed his family that he had
taken paris green with suicidal intent.
About noon DR.. Watson arrived and
found Mr.. Horner unconscious. Re
storatives were applied without avail,
and at 1890 he died. Horner was in
good financial circumstances, his family
relations have always been happy, and
no cause can be assigned for his act
other than that for some time past he
has suffered from melancholia, and dur
ing these fits he has on several occa-
sions said that he would put an end to
his life. Mr.. Horner was at one time a
large land owner in the vicinity of ex-
President Cleveland's former summer
home, Oak View, and during the spec
ulative craze in that locality sold his
buildings for something over $4,000
and purchased the pabney property, on
which he resided at the time of his
death. He leaves wife, two sons and
two daughters,

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 2.
SENATE.
The Senate was not in session to-day.

HOUSE.
1t was Mr.. Taylor, of Illinois, who
this morning before the reading of the
journal, made the suggestion that there
was no quorum present. He thought
that the democrats with their large ma
jority ought to muster a quorum.
One hundred and seventy-one mem
bers responded to their names.
Amessage from the Senate announc'
ing the passage of the free silver bill
was received with applause.
Mr.. Catchings, of Mississippi, asked
for the immediate consideration of the
resolution substituting July7 for July
as suspension day.
Mr.. Burrows, of Michigan, objected
and the resolution was referred to the
committee on rules.
On motion of Mr.. Catchings it was
ordered that when the House adjourn
to-day it be to meet on Tuesday next.
Mr.. Dockery, of Missouri, submitted
disagreeing conference report on the
District of Columbia appropriation bill,
and it was agreed to.
Mr.. Bynum, of Indiana, moved that

and agree to an amendment appropri-
ating $4,000 to be paid wholly from
the revenues of the District for the
proper expenses attending the Grand
Army encampment at Washington.
Mr.. DeArmond, of Missouri, moved

THE SILVER BILL.-As stated in the
GAZETTE the Stewart bill for the free
coinage of silver passed the Senate yes
terday evening by vote of 30 to %,
after one of the hottest parliamentary
battles that the Senate has ever wit
messed. Seven democrats-Brice, Car
Isle, German, Gray, Palmer, McPher-
son and White, voted with the repub-
licans against free coinage. Eleven re-
publicans, the representatives of the
Silver States of the northwest, voted in
favor of free coinage. Senator Hill, OF
New York. made his first speech in
the Senate, and followed it up by cast
ING his vote for free silver.
During the debate ON the motion to
recommit the bill Senator Hill said /:
Mr.. President, desire simply to say
a word in reference to this particular
motion. The motion to recommit, as |
understand, is nowthe pending question.
am not quite prepared to agree that
that motion Is in order at this time.
That question, however, is not before
the Senate. An appeal was taken by
the Senator from Alabama Mr.. Nor
ganl. but that appeal has been with
drawn. 1t is unnecessary, therefore,
that should express any opinion upon
that question. 1t involves purely a
question of parliamentary law. Itdoes
seem to me strange, however. if the
Senate recognizes the right to make an
agreement of this character that it has
not the power to enforce it. | rise only
to state that | shall vote against the mo-
ton to recommit, not upon any par
liamenta1y ground, but simply upon
the ground that in my Judgment the
motion to rccommit is in violation of
the unanimous consent given a few
days ago.
The following is the vote in detail

So Is SEEMS, after all, and though
Mr.. Harrison is perfectly familiar with
Mr.. Clarkson's unreliability, both in
words and acts, he has allowed the
latter to serve in subordinate position
on the national republican committee.
His straits are great, and this is no time
to be sticking about the means by
which he may get through them. But
what can be said of Mr. Clarkson's self
respect, as manifested by accepting such
a position after the glazing public, not
only snub, but absolute disgrace, put
upon him by Mr.. Harrison?

ANr1DorEs FOR SNAKE PoIsoN.-Tf

ANTIDoTEs FOR SNAKE PoIsoN.-The
effect of snake bite depends partly on
the condition of the snake and partly
on that of the person bitten and the
part attacked. No effectual antidote
has yet been discovered. Ammonia
and permanganate ofpotassium will not
suffice, although solution of the latter
will take away the poisonous property
of the snakes venom if it be mixed
Herewith. Immediate amputation Of
a bitten toe or finger is the best course,
as the delay of few seconds may
suffice to convey the poison into the
patients circulation. If from the ma
ture of the part bitten amputation can
not be performed, a very tight ligature
applied after conformation and sucking
the part is the best course, and the adj,
ministration of stimulants is generally
recommended.-Quqrterly Reuiew.

AS FIRST STATED in the GAZErTE's
Washington correspondence, Senator
Morgan said the free silver coinage bill
would pass the Senate and the House,
and would not be vetoed by President
Harrison. As stated in the GAZETTE
last evening, the bill has passed the
Senate. The first part of Mr.. Morgan's
prophecy has been fulfilled; whether
the remainder will be, short time will
determine. The silver in a silver dol
lar is now worth sixty eight cents in the
open market. How law that would
enable the silver mine owners and
silver importers to carry tons OF
bullion to the minis and have it
coined into dollars, that would pay
their debts, at a net profit Of forty-two
cents on every dollar so coined, can
help the other people of the country, is
what the able and distinguished Sena-
tors who voted for the bill may be able
to tell. but certainly no body else can
that is. satisfactorily.

against business operations in futures.
But such platform is not the cause Of
any special wonder nowadays, in this

voted to give the few silver mine own
ers and importers of silver one dollar
