WASHINGTON. March 26.-The attend
Ince Of members In the House this morning
was small. Among the few gentlemen
present silver was the chief IL not the only,
mbject of conversation. Thursdays battle
was discussed In all Its phases, and specula-
lion was rife as to the probable outcome Of
the combat. which may be precipitated
Monday or Tuesday by a report from the
committee on rules.
Mr.. Culberson Of Texas offered a resolu-
hon providing for the payment Of the ex
penses OF the subcommittee Of the commit
lee OF the judiciary investigating charges
against certain judicial officers OF the
United States.
Mr.. Bailey Of Texas said that he did not
believe that there was a quorum present
and demanded division. The vote resulted
Is to l. Mr.. Bailey raised the point of no
quorum and Mr.. Culberson Withdrew his
resolution.
The House then proceeded under a special
'rder to consideration of pension bills re-
ported favorably from the committee of the
whole.
The first bill was one to pension Sarah L.
Henderson, an army nurse. On the division
no quorum appeared, and Mr.. Bailey made
that point, but on the roll call quorum
voted and the bill was passed. Mr.. Bailey
made no further objections. his only purpose
In raising the point being to insist that
business should be transacted by a quorum
and not by a mere handful OF members.
seventeen private pension bills were passed
and then at 2 o'clock public business was
suspended and the colleagues of the late
Francis B.Spinola of New York proceeded to
pay tributes of respect to his memory. Those
hospoke were Messrs. Cochran. Curtis and

TOWNSVILLE, GA, March 26.-Intelli-

may prove to have been horrible crime.
Peter Thompson. negro. lives twelve
miles from Thomasville. and is the man who
beat one Of his children to death year ago.
an account OF which was given in the NEWS
at the time. The coroner then swore out a
warrant charging Thompson with murder,
but In some way the matter was hushed up
and the father escaped punishment.
1t Is reported that once when this killing
was mentioned to the father he said that he
would kill the whole d. crowd yet, re-
ferrlng to his family of nine. II appears
that he attempted to put this dreadful
threat into execution Friday of last week.
His entire family were taken suddenly and
dangerously i'll with symptoms of poisoning,
Thompson alone remaining unaffected. One
Of them, a boy years old. died on the same
day and was buried Immediately. Three
more members of his family may die. The
coroner has as yet taken no steps, but the
matter will doubtless be investigated.

Resigns.

ATLANTA, GA, March 26.-George E.
Hoppie, secretary and treasurer of the
Southern Base Ball League. to-day sent his
resignation TO President Genslinger at New
Orleans. Mr.. Hoppie, who is a successful
business man Of large interests here, was
accused by the Macon base ball manager Of
having complained to the president that
Macon's club was on a weak financial basis
and there was considerable doubt about the
Central City coming to the scratch when
the season opened. President Genslinger in-
formed the Macon people of the receipt OF
such complaint. but did not say whoIhad
made it, and Macon's charge
that Mr.. Hoppie had made it
was merely founded on jealous suspicion of
Atlanta. A big kick was raised. Secretary
Hoppe denied the charge and demanded an
apology from Macon for what they had said
Of him In print. The apology was not
forthcoming. and to-day the secretary re-
signed, because he did not propose to be the
subject of insulting insinuations at the
hands Of base ball men. The southern
league has not yet played a game, but
already there Is plenty of kicking

from President W. E. H. Searcy, met here
to-day for the purpose OF devising plans and
naming the day for electing county dele
gates TO the state convention, which meets
In Atlanta May is. to elect delegates TO the

was made. and TO judge from the views Of

In the primary. During the discussion of
these resolutions it developed that the new
party has a much larger hold than is gen.
orally conceted. Col. Flint stated that even
In this county there we're quite a number
who would affiliate with the third party.
while Judge J. d. Stewart in a speech de.
clared that it was his belief that Clayton
could now be carried by Representative
Watson OF the third party, that men
whom he had known all his life had told
him "theY thanked God that the white party
was at last divided in Georgia." Continuing
Judge Stewart said: There is great ef-
fort, and we underestimate the strength of
it, to break down the Democratic party in
the south. No longer than yesterday, at the
dinner table in Fayetteville, the present rep
resentative OF Fayette county told me that
a newspaper stated afssr Representative
Livingston had returned from st. Louis
and made his speech at Covington, he had
killed the third party in Georgia. He said

saying that he was no alarmist, but it Is
now the duty of every democrat to be on

A LEGAL QUIBBLE.

How a Husband and Wife Defeated
Each Others Good Intentions.
From the Albany Argus
A very curious case, in which husband
executed will which had been prepared
for his wife, and the wife executed a will
which had been prepared for her husband,
has recently been decided by the general
term of the supreme court of this state in
in the fourth judicial department (Syra-

favor of the other, and employed William
Cowie TO prepare the instrument, which he
did in due form.
The wills were read and placed upon the
table for signature. Each then signed one
Of the wills, made the requisite
declaration as to the character of
the instrument, and asked the subscribing
witnesses to sign. After execution the wills
were sealed up in an envelope, which was
not opened until after the husbands death,
when it was discovered for the first time
that each had by mistake signed the will in
tended for the other.
The wife brought a suit in the supreme
court to correct her husbands mistake in
signing the wrong will, by reforming the
language of the will which he actually did
execute so as to make it conform to that
which he certainly intended to execute.
Her complaint was dismissed at the spe-
cial term, however, and the appellate
branch Of the supreme court holds that the
dismissal was right.
Mr.. Justice Martin, in the opinion of the
general term. says II substance that there IL
no will to correct, because the husband did
not make any will at all. The instrument
that he executed was his wifes will, and OF
no more legal significance than if it had
there are English and Pennsylvania decl-
sions in point adverse to the position OF the

The Brain Jar of the Military Step.
From tae Medical Record.

DR.. Colin, regimental physician in the
French army, has published the results OF
his investig cations into the effects of regular
marching in disciplined bodies upon soldiers.
The regularity OF the step causes tho indefi-
mite repetition Of a shock OF the bones and
brain, infinitely more deleterious than an
irregular walk aud to this regular repoti-
tion OF the shock to the same parts Of the
body are due the peculiar aches. pains and
illnesses OF the troops. In a one-day march
he says, this shock is repeated 10000 times,
and often the strongest men, who can walk
the same distance when not in line, sue
cumb to the strain In two or three days.
DIR. Collins preventative is rubber heel in
all military boots. This heel has been tried
at his instance, he says. and the result has
been found to be great relief TO the SOL
diers. The experiments with the rubber
heel are still in progress.
