THE FlFTY-sgcoND CONGRESS.
A Digest Of the Proceedings In the Senate
md HOnAe.

y
and House.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The very brief ses-
sion Of the senate was diversified only by
Governor Hills reception on the floor and
his entrance upon his senatorial duties
Senators generally were desirous of getting
down to committee work, and after adopt
ing, with pleasant unanimity, Mr.. Morgan's
Nicaragua canal resolution, adjourned until
Wednesday.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.--There were 200
additional bills added to the house calendar,
the call of states for that purpose having
been completed prior TO adjournment None
Of them were of startling or unusual ma
ture; they principally related to financial
and economic matters. Mr.. Enloe proposed
the repeal of the entire Mckinley bill, and
numerous additions TO the free list were
proposed. A number OF free silver coinage
bills and bills to establish an income tax
were introduced.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l3.-The senate got
down to the calendar at an unusually early
period In the session and passed seven or
eight of the first bills ON the list and sent
them over to the house for concurrence.
Then finding there was no likelihood of
executive communications coming in, the
senate resolved itself into executive session
and adjourned after sitting only an hour
and twenty minutes.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l3.-Mr. Harter, Of
Ohio, introduced in the house a bill to
authorize the consolidation of customs col
lection districts 1t does away with fees
and what Mr.. Harter calls "blackmailing
devices
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-There was lively
two hours session of the house today, al
though nothing was accomplished. Mr..
Holman, Of Indiana, offered a resolution de-
nouncing the granting by congress Of sub
sidies or bounties OF cash, land or credit as
impohtic, unjust and in violation Of repub-
hcan institutions, and that congress should
vote no money except ito carry on the sew
eral departments frugally, efficiently and
honestly administered The house sec
onded demand for the previous question
| by vote Of 1910 80, and then Mr. Holman
asked unanimous consent that II might be
debated. This was given, and it was agreed
that the debate cover two hours on a side.
On motion OF Mr. Breckinridge, Of Ken
tucky, the debate was postponed until to-
morrow.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l4.-There was almost
a scene in the senate between Mr.. Cock
rell, of Missouri, and Mr.. Mcpherson, OF
New Jersey, overR New Jersey public build.
ing bill The discussion arose upon a re
quest by Mr. Mcpherson TO take up and pass
q small public building bill TO increase the
cost Of public building at Hoboken, N. j.,
70 $4,000
The bill as reported by the committee
appropriating $1,000 was passed.

The LIPE OF THE COAL REGION asses
sor is not an easy one by any means.
The assessor goes to Mauch Chunk gets
his books and swears to make a TRUE
valuation and return of all property,
&c, in his district. This he does to
the best of his ability and belief, and
returns his books to the county com
missioners. Then comes appeal day
and the owners Of valuable coal lands,
that cannot be bought at any price,
swoop down on him like vultures be-
cause the assessment is too (Y) high.
We ehope commissioners Cannon, Miller
and Sendel will support the assessors
in their returns. Let the rich corpo-
ration pay fair share of county taxes.
The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1892-01-16

The CHIEF ARGUMENT OF SOME of our
Republican exchanges as to why Cen
eral Lilly, Of Mauch Chunk, should be
nominated for Congressman-at-large is
because he has always been a heavy
contributor to the campaign fund. This
is not at all complimentary to our
friend, the General, who has consider
able ability and has always been an ag-
gressive politician.

JUDGE DREHER, OF THE CARBON county
courts, has given notice that beginning
with the next license court in January,
1893, all hotel and saloon keepers will
be required to present an affidavit,
with their application, setting forth
that to the best of their knowledge and
belief they have not violated the license
law during the year ending, This new
rule, for it is not the law, will work
hard on some saloon men who have
handeled their business with but little
reservation. To get up and swear that
they have obeyed the letter and spirit
Of the law is ticlfler but it may work
out some good, and that is what the
Judge is looking for.
The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1892-01-16

A RULE ADOPTED BY THE Carbon county
commissioners has been the means of
saving some money to the county.
Heretofore assessors have been paid
by the day for their services, now, how
ever, the commissioners allow each
assessor four days and then five cents
for each bonafide name re-
gistered. This method brings the cost
down considerably in some districts,
and the only place where it does not
give the assessor commensurate re.
turns for his labors is in the country
districts where people live wide apart
However, this defect can easily be
remedied by increasing the price in
such districts.

ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE


A Wealthy Man Shoots His Wife and Then
Ends His Own Life.
NEWARK, N. j., Jan. 9.-Charles s. Quack.
enbush, a wealthy resident Of Albany, shot
his wife in the head and then killed himself.
He attempted to kill his wife several times,
and about month ago was only restrained
from carrying out his purpose by police
man. Three weeks ago he tried 10 shoot
her again. Yesterday he returned from
Montreal and went to the house where his
wife was living, l4 Warren street. He
went into the kitchen from the hall and saw
his wife, Annie, IN the next room preparing
their little girls, ranging in age from two 10
five years, for bed.
Some hot words were exchanged and
Quackenbush then pulled revolver from
his pocket and shot his wife in the back Of
the head, near the ear. She had turned 10
run from him. He then went into the
kitchen and shot twice more at her. He
then placed the revolver to the roof Of his
mouth and fired, the bullet going through
his brain and lodging in the ceiling.
HQuaokenbush had about $4,000 in secur-
tiles on his person and $3.50 in bills. He fell
heir to large estate in this city by the
death Of his father few months ago, and
since then has been trying to get rid Of his
wife. She has persisted in following him.
At Albany Quackenbush repeatedly tried 10
kill his wife

SAN Francisco, Jan. S.-The investiga-
tion into the assault on the Baltimore's
sailors at Valparaiso began at Mare island.
Judge Advocate General Reamy conducted
the investigation.
John W. Talbot, apprentice on the Balti-
more, was the first witness. He was one Of
the liberty party on Sept, 10. he stated
that O. W. Riggin, the boatswain's mate,
one Of the killed, was with him during the
afternoon. About o'clock they went to-
gether in saloon called "The Shakespeare"
in the southern part Of the town The pro-
prietor ordered them out, declaring that q
mob Of disbanded sailors and soldiers were
preparing to attack the Baltimore's men,
and he did not want any trouble in his
place. Riggin and Talbot laughed at the
warning, but left the place and went 10 the
"True Blue" saloon.
Continuing, witness said: About 4o'clock
coming out saw Riggin being threatened
by the ChiliRn sailors in mRn-of-war uni
form. / ran across and tried to seperate
them. One of the Chilians spat on my face
and knocked him down. Instantly the
crowd Of over one hundred people appeared
on the scene, and we started on run, but
soon jumped on a passing car. The mob fol-
lowed and we were soon surrounded. l saw
Riggin fall and tried TO reach him, but was
stabbed in the back and turned to run.
"After going few blocks turned into a
doorway, and was again stabbed in the
back. / got in, however, and took & posi-
tion In a corner and defended myself with a
chair. The mob followed me, and Chilian
sailor in man-of-war uniform stabbed me
again. The bartender finally put them out
and barricaded the door. The mob clamored
outside for admittance, and after an hour q
policeman arrested me and took me TO Jail
He disguised me by substituting hat for
my sailors cap with the word Baltimore
on it, 30 they would not notice that was
an American sailor. The officer turned me
over 10 two other policemen, who struck me
several times, although was making no re-
sistance. had no arms of any kind and
was perfectly sober.
"After short time in jail was sent to q
hospital with Hamilton W. Palmer and
Davidson, all badly hurt. We were kept
there four days and were then sent to the
ship, where was in the hospital forty-five
days. None except the American sailors
were attacked by the mob" This ended
Talbot's examination.

THE PRESIDENT REGARDS THE STU
ALTON AS SERIOUS.

Fhe Testimony Of Our Sailors Shows That
the Assault Was Deliberate and Paints
Chnfs Action In Very Black Colors.
Matta's Curt Note stln Confronts Us.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-At the navy de-
partment It is stated that no orders have
been sent 10 the Boston to return TO Val
paraiso or for the Yorktown to leave that
port. II is Understood that the time Of the
cabinet meeting was taken up with a dis
cussion Of the Chilian situation and that
some impatience was manifested with the
dilatory course Of the Chilian government
in approaching settlement Of the matter,
The outlook for satisfactory settlement
Of the question Of indemnity and an apology
for the assaults upon American seamen does
not look 80 bright as it did last week. The
government is not relaxing any effort to be
ready for any emergency.
Tho President Says It Is Serious.
WAsH1NaToN, Jan 1s-President Harri-
son, IL is understood, Is deeply moved by the
reports from San Francisco Of the testi-
mony being taken by Judge Advocate Cen
eral Remey concerning the attack upon the
OnJeu othteb Cfulbef BALlmOFeb bAllOfa ~
Valparaiso He expects that as soon as the
investigation is oonclu q brief Of the tes-
timony and report will Oe sent TO him by
wire. II tho report is of the character
which tho testimony thus far taken indi-
Gates il will be, he viii send it TO congress
at once, together with the correspondence
between this country and Chill.
At the cabinet meeting the president ex-
pressed the opinion that the situation was
more serious than it has been at any pre-
vious time. After looking the correspond
ence over very carefully he finds nothing in
It that indicates the least regret on the part
Of Chilli for the outrage. He regards the so
called unofficial" reports that Chill would
apologize as the rumors given out for the
purpose merely Of allaying popular feeling.
Officially, there has been no intimation Of
an smicable disposition on the part of Chilli
