HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-The House wen,
into committee of the whole this morning,
with Mr.. Blount of Georgia in the chair,
on the tin plate bill.
the House during almost its entire session.
Notwithstanding the Importance of the bill
little attention was paid to the debate. The
exodus TO Chicago had begun and the return
from Minneapolis was slow When demo-
crat was speaking he would have an audi
ence Of about fifty democratic members;
when he ceased, this audience would disap-
pear; aud on the other side similar num-
Der of members would rally to listen to their
champion. But on both sides the interest
was largely perfunctory. 1t was directed
moro to the speaker than to the subject
which he addressed himself to. The hall
was practically deserted throughout the
session.
SOME OF THE SPEAKERS.
Mr.. Bunting Of New York spoke for over
an hour in favor of the bill. E. B. Taylor
Of Ohio and Mr.. Dazell OF Pennsylvania
each occupied nearly as much time in ops
posing it. Messrs Atkinson, O'Neill and
Huff of Pennsylvania, each spoke briefly
against the bill, and Mr.. Hemphill of South
Carolina addressed himself to the financial
question and urged congress to enact legisla-
tion which would relieve the people of the
south from the burdensome legislation under
which they were now suffering.
The House then ad journed.

Another chapter of a horrible tragedy

Another chapter of a horrible tragedy enacted nearly twenty seven years ago was probably furnished when, just before adiourning, congress passed the bill and the president signed it appropriating $25, 900 on what is known as the Bonfoey claim, the same going to the four heirs of the family, George F., of Hartford; Clar- ence F., of Rock Falls, Conn. Beverly H., of Unionville, Mo-; and Edwin B., of Chicago. The tragedy occurred in the fall of 1865, when Mrs. David B. Bonfoey, whose husband was collector of internal revenue in the fourth district of Texas, was murdered by some soldiers of the Twentieth United States infantry, whom she discovered robbing her husband'e safe. The collector, who was away al the time, was so overcome by his wife's death that he died within twenty-foul hours. The officers of the regiment took change of the safes, and after spending fully half of the money turned over $68, 900 to the government. Two years agt George P. and Clarence P. petitionet congress for $44, ,685, which includes thu interest upon the $5, ,999. .49 of the father'' money and $13,OOO of the mothers whicl were stolen from the government funds The $25, 900 which the heirs have ob tained is the mothers share. One of tn
 brothers, Edwin B., is very i'll with ty phoid fever, George P. Bonfoey is em
 ployed in the office of The Courant, an
 is we'll known throughout the state.

The money loss from the labor diffi- culty among the quarrymen has been great, and all local interests have been more ol less affected thereby. In re- cent newspaper interview, James G. Bat terson, president of the New England
 ssgs.sss 1sts ~So11i1ssS8o JfItsJ the men in his employ in the vicinity of Westerly, R. l., were out about $15O, ,OOO in wages, and that the loss throughout New England had been not far from $2,8OO,O and then he adds that "this sum would have purchased half a dozen of the principal plants in New England, with all the cash capital needed for the business, and the strikers would have had something to show for their money" The loss is. of course, complete loss; it cannot be made up at some future time. The labor which would result in this large amount of money has been withheld, and can never be again put forth. With such a condition existing, it is not to be wondered at that everybody is anxious for the trouble to be settled, and for the wheels of industry to be once more set in motion.

A most wonderful discovery is claimed to have been made by poor Quebec blacksmith, named Ferdinand Allard. It is the long lost art, known to the pyramid builders of Egypt, of hardening copper. Axes and other edged tools made of hard ened copper have been exhibited by him, which in edge and temper rival the best steel of the present day. Allard prepared sheet of his hardened copper II of 8 line in thickness and had it tested at the government rife ranges. At the first shot, fired from forty yards distance, the bullet was shivered into thousand frag- ments. At the second the missile, strik- ing the copper more fairly, was complete ly fattened, but remained embedded in the plate, which it dented slightly with out cracking it in any way. This is claimed by experts to be vastly superior to anything the best steel could do under like circumstances

ike circumstances.

Hugh Daley, 56, city attorney of New Haven, died Tuesday at his home of lock- jaw, the result of a wound received in falling from hammock few days ago. MT. Daley was lawyer of unusual abili- ty, and had been prominent in the repub- lican party for number of years. He served in the union army during the war, and at the close was connected with the United States postal service. He gradu- ated from the Yale law school in 1877. He was never married, but leaves three sisters and brother.

THE suggestion of Hon. O. V. Coffin, of Middletown, as republican candidate for lieutenant governor, meets the fullest general favor. MT. Coffin would ably fill any office in the state from governor down. He has shown himself to be 8 cool-headed and sound-minded legislator, he is thorough man of business, saga cious, conservative, but not too much so, is not a seeker after place, and at the present time is brought forward because his party is seeking for the very best names from which to make up ticket.

A STRIKE of switch tenders on=the Erie Tn the end, or ought to, cost the state of New York round sum. At Buffalo, 15O cars loaded with merchandise have been fired, involving loss of nearly $200, ,00O
 Switch lights were stolen at night, en- dangering life, and in one case passenger train was thrown from the track by mis- placing switch, fortunately with no loss of life. The leaders of the strike dis claim any responsibility for violence, claiming that it is the work of outsiders, but committees promptly wait upon all arrivals of non-union employees and in- form them that they will not be permitted to go to work. The civil authorities were utterly powerless in contest with the law defying mob, and two regiments of the state militia were ordered out to protect the property of the raill pads.

The Philadelphia girls have discovered a new dodge, or at least Music and Drama of that city thinks they have, for it puts this little monologue into the mouth of it's townswoman: "Oh, no, it isn't un- tied, it's fad to have them that way,'' she said, with a smile, as he offered to tie the laces of her neat little low shoes
 "You see the girls like to have the men notice their feet-if they are shapely and small" ;" she continued, growing confiden- tial; ESQ some woman, more ingenious than her sisters, thought of the scheme, and now when you pass us on the street you take the second look when you find our shoe laces are trailing the ground"

ON page first is an article outlining some of the contemplated work of the Connecticut board of woman managers for the worlds fair. Particularly interesting is the outlined scheme for womans' dormitory, where provision in board and lodging will be made for women visiting the fair singly or in groups. It is nice plan and will be availed of by women who have to go the fair unattended by men. The Hartford Courant says:
 The committee has allotted 200 shares to Connecticut. The first shares taken have tho fret ectti:5 If S;fo CohnecI1cut women are as smart as they are believed to be, they will be very quick to improve this opportunity.

INSTEAD of voting to the Chicago ex- position the $5,OOO, 900 loan asked for, congress made it gift of $2, 800, 900. But this gift is to be in silver half dollars or special design, and already $21O is offered for the first one coined, while bids of $1 each for the coins already cover large part of the issue. So the fair directors are likely to realize the entire $5,OOO, 900 as a gift instead of as loan, and the en- tire sum will go into souvenir collections instead of into circulation.
