The Librarian of Congress Tells What
the Members Of the New House Read.
Librarian A. r. Spofford considers the
LII. Congress to be most studious that
has assembled since the war. The new
Congressman take out a great many books,
and the list OF volumes consulted is large
ly comprised of works on the tariff,
finance and other public questions of the
day. 1t is now felt that those who do not
read and inform themselves are certain
to be left behind in the race for legislative
honors. The Congressional Library,
which in 1861 had but 10000 volumes, now
has nearly 100000, and the number is
radidly increasing. Mr.. Spotford possess
es memory Of phenomenal power, and
knows every volume In the vast collection
under his care. He was born at Gilman
ton, New Hampshire, on the 18th of Sep
tember, 1925. His father was clergy.
man, and employed a private instructor
for his son, who at sixteen years of age
went to Cincinnati and engaged in the
bookselling and publishing business
He had good success in his business,
which assisted him to acquire the great
familiarity with books and authors for
which he has become distinguished in his
present position. 1t 1856 he became
Associate Editor of the Daily Commercial
in Cincinnati. He was appointed Frst
Assistant Librarian in 1861, and four years
later Librarian in Chief.

Paul Desohanel, Sent to The United
States by the French Republic to Study
American Labor aud Socialistic Prob
lens.
NJ. Paul Deschanel, a member of the
French Chamber of Deputies, ,s been
sent to the United States by his own
Government to investigate Iabor ard
socialistic questions in this country. 1t
was In 1885 that this ambitious young
man was elected TO the Chamber Of
Deputies, where he at once took rank as
an able and polished orator, although but
"a years of age. He is much sought after
in Partisan society circles, where his
elegant dress and courty manners, and
blonde mustache carefully curled, give
him the air OF an aristocratic idler, while
in reality he Is one OF the most indefatiR-
| able workers in all France. His maiden
speech was in favor Of raising the duty on
| cereals, in which effort he was successful,
the grain duties being raised by vote of
| 312 to 1873. He next attracted notice by his
| eloquent advocacy of the protectorate ex-
| ercised by Franceover Catholicism in the
| Orient, and this was followed by a sharp
attack upon the abuses in the French
naval administration. NJ. Deschanel re-
| CARDS the excessive Capitalization OF the
| government as the greatest danger
| which threatens France. Under a re-
publican regime the institutions of the
| First Empire still flourish; republican
| walls and roofs have been built upon Inn

Who Now Sees the Rotten Fraud.
To the Editor of the Pltisburg Press:
had the pleasure Of listening 60 the
speech of Col Stone at Carnegie hall
last night. He praised the Mckinley
bill because it placed a duty on all
goods coming in competition with
American manufactured goods that
we're desirable, and let in all undesira-
BILE goods free. But he reverses this
when it comes to the workingmen of
this country. He wants to keep out of
this country all of the undesirable emf
grants, such as old men, insane, crimi-
nails, paupers and cranks, which is all
very well. But he is in favor of admit
ing all desirable emigrants, such as
stout, healthy, robust men.
Now, Mr.. Editor, it seems to me that
if it is right to place a high duty on
manufactured goods which come in
competition with ours, why not place a
head tax on that desirable class that
Mr.. Stone speaks of-the very class
that comes in competition with our
American laborer? 1t is not the aged,
the pauper the insane nor the criminal
that honest labor has to compete with.

PUT MUzzLEs ON 'EM.
A number Of our old soldiers and G.. A..
r.. men have been discussing the Wo-
mans Relief Corps fight now in progress
in Canton. They each feel competent to
pass an opinion on the matter, having had
a bitter experience with the Relief Corps
business in this city few years ago. A
Relief Corps squabble in Alliance was the
cause of all the trouble which afflicted the
G.. A. II. of this city for so many years,
disrupted the organization and engender.
ed strife and bitterness that has not even
yet been healed over and perhaps never
will be. / am authorized by a
large number of intelligent and
prominent members in this city, to
say to the Canton boys, that when the
Clark family have secured all the adver-
tising and prominence necessary for their
happiness and comfort, in Grand Army
and Relief Corps circles, 1t would be, in
their opinion, the proper thing to quietly
cut the string and let the craft float away
according TO it's own sweet will upon the
tide and fight out their battles where the
noise OF their combat, their chickering's and
hair pullings will no longer disturb the
peace OF the Grand Army of the Republic.

no more Womans' Relief corps in theirs.

NARROW ESCAPE
From Fatal Accident at the B. q o.
TrestIe Over the Creek.

From q Fatal Accident at the B. q o.
lTrestle Over the Creek.
A few minutes after five O'Clock yes
terday evening people in the vicinity Of
the B. & o. passenger depot and the
stone bridge were treated to spectacle
in the shape of an accident which was
we'll calculated to unnerVe them for the
remainder Of the evening.
The Pittsburg train which leaves at
sos was just in the act OF pulling out
at the south end of the wooden bridge
over the creek, when two gentlemen
and lady, all carrying parcels, ran
through the passenger station, crossed
the platform aud attempted to board the
moving train. The gentlemen put the
lady aboard the cars, one Of the men
jumped up on the steps, the other
handed up bundle or two and an um-
brella, and then attempted to jump
on the cars himself The train
was by this time moving at lively rate,
necessitating the mans running along
side of it, out towards the centre of the
bridge with about all his speed. All
his attempts to board the cars were
futile, and as he kept on running, he
tripped at the north end OF the platform,
far out on the bridge, and was hurled TO
the edge of the ties with great force,
barely escaping rolling over into the
creek, while his wife and brother, who
had preceded him and succeeded in get
ting on the train, were screaming with
alarm. The accident seems TO have
passed unnoticed by the train crew, and
the train ran on up Sixteenth street,
not stopping until it reached Elm Grove,
where the brother of the man who had
fallen jumped of and ran clear back
into the city.
Meanwhile the people about the depot
picked up the wounded man, carried
him into the depot and summoned a
physician. An examination showed that
the gentleman's right eye had almost
been cut from its socket, while the left
side OF his face was frightfully bruised.
He was fixed up, congratulated on not
being killed, and was in pretty fair
shape by the time his brother, who had
run about all the way from Elm Grove,
arrived at the depot dripping with per-
SEPARATION and almost exhausted with his
exertions and the anxiety as to whether
the victim hEd been killed or not. The
two men got on the $50 train and left
for Pittsburg.
The name of the wounded man could
not be learned, but he is said to be a
leather merchant, doing business on
Fifth avenue.

Wild RumorS.

Yesterday a rumor was current in
Bellaire, and extended to this city,
Bridgeport and Martins Ferry, that
eight cars containing four hundred
armed men passed through Bellaire,
over the B. & o. road, between four and
five o'clock yesterday morning, en- route
for Pittsburg. One gentleman went so
far as to say that the train stopped at
the Bellaire depot and that coffee was
served to the men there.
There was no foundation in this ru-
NOR, or the stories in circulation Satur-
day night.
A REGISTER reporter yesterday made
inquiries at the B. 81 o. depot at Bel
laire, at Benwood Junction and in this
city, aud could nowhere find anything
calculated to substantiate In the remot-
est degree the reports which were going
around. The Associated Press tele-
grams of late Saturday night said the
report at Homestead was that armed
men had left Buffalo. n. Y, for Home
stead, via Wheeling. Why anyone going
from Buffalo to Homestead should pass
Pittsburg, run away out In Ohio, circle
around to Wheeling, aud then go back
to Pittsburg, can not be well explained,
except upon the basis that they had
plenty Of spare time and wanted to
look at the scenery. A number Of SEN
sational kilograms have been sent from
this city regarding the matter, but
they were pure fakes.
