NOTHING DONE By THE HOUSE.
The Death of Representative Craig
Causes an Adjournment

The Death of Representative Craig
Causes an Adjournment.
WASHINGTON, July 3O.-The House i'm
mediately upon meeting entered upon fill
clustering on the worlds fair amendment to
the sundry civil appropriation bill, aud
there was no prospect Of a cessation of hos
tilities. The situation was becoming dam
gerous one. Unless the sundry civil bill
passed to-day. or a resolution extending the
appropriations Of last year was agreed to,
work at the government printing office
must cease at midnight Under strict con.
struction OF the law, the public printer
would be unable to continue work after IL
O'Clock tonight. lie could keep only a suf-
ticienJ force present to protect public prop
erty. II the work Of the office be stopped
even the Record could not be issued
Mr.. Holman of Indiana offered resolu-
ton extending the appropriations carried
by the sundry civil bill of last year until
Aug. 4.
Mr.. Hopkins of Illinois objected to its
confederation.
The speaker said that the resolution was
in the nature Of an appropriation bill, but
the pendlug business was also an appropri-
alton bill aud he did not think that the res
olntIon had any priority but as the ques-
tion was a most Important one he would in
journed out of respect TO the memory of
Representative Craig, but not befors pro-
test had been made by Mr. Reed, who
thought the House should, In the present
stage of business, remain In session.
NO SIGN OF RELIEF.
There was no sign Of relief from the pres
ent situation In the House this morning
Many weary looking members we're present
at the opening, but it was plain TO be seen
that the attendance was diminishing aud
the dreaded announcement of no quorum
may come at any time. The fair men pro-
Tess that they are able TO summon enough
mem bers here within twenty-four hours to
make quorum in that case, but they do
not yet see how that would keep them. In
the absence of any special rule (and there is
little hope that one can be secured from the
committee on rules, half dozen filibusters
can protract the session indefinitely
and prevent the transaction Of and business
by simply alternating in motions to ad jOurn,
to ad journ to fixed date and take recess.
To-day joint resolution extending the APP
preparation bill or another extension resolu-
ton must be arranged else some Of the most
important branches of the government
service will come to a standstill. These in
clude the life saving service and light house
service and their cessation might prove to
be most disastrous int1ictioh upon the COM
MERGE Of the country. No hope was ex-
pressed by anybody in the House Of
Domination Of the conflict to-day, and it is
probable that the House would have ad-
journed as soon as IL met this morning out
Of respect to the memory of the late Repre-
sentative Craig Of Pennsylvania had 1t not
bean necessary to act upon the extension
resolution.

THE CONDITION OFFOoO.
The Qualities of Market Produce Fc

The Qualities of Market Produce For
the Week Generally Good.
Inspector Desvergers of the Citizens San
itary Association, in his report Of inspec-
tions for the week ending last night, has
some interesting things. Dressed beef and
dressed mutton made a fair average in
quality, western meats showing the eff
feet of the heat soon after being
taken out of cold storage. Dressed pork
sauseges and meat buildings made only a
poor average. Picked beef. picked tIips
and picked tongues were good averages
Poultry, dressed and alive, made good aver
age as did also fish, clans, crabs and shrimp
Vegetables, green and dried, were generally
good. Green fruits were very good, melons,
cantaloups, figs, grapes. peaches, pears and
pineapples being abundant.
In reference to drainage of the lands
around the city, Inspector Desvergsrs SAYS
that the fields on the lowlends of the Vale
Royal, Springfield and LawtQn tracts have
been kept dry during the recent heavy rain
fail, those OF the Lawton plantation being
so well drained since the overhauling given
the trunks and drains on the place by Supt.
Carmichael of the drainage department, as
to admit the use of double horse plows on
potions OF the land that had been long
thrown out as bog.
The inspector says, however, that drain
age conditions in the territory southeast OF
the city are far from being good. Water
has gathered ia many places ON the grounds
lying between Waters road and the Cuvler
swamp. also on those between the Waters
road and the City and Suburban railway,
those lying south of the city between
Brownsville and Minis swamp, and in the
barrow pits of ali the railroads in the vicin-
ity Of the CITY.
Inspector Desvergers says that he is con-
strained, in view of the misery and suffer
ing brought into many households In the
vicinity Of these malarlal borrow pits, 10 re-
peat his suggestion for such cooperation
between the railroad companies and the
drainage authorities of the county and city
as will utilize these borrow pits for auxiliary
city systems Of drainage.

The hot weather. of the last week has
damaged the cotton crop of this section
greatly, coming just after protacted wet
spell caused much shedding. Some OF our
planters say 1t will cut the crop as much as
so per cent, This, however, is rather an
extreme estimate, although il is generally
conceded to be from IS to 80 per cent. off.
The corn crop is almost perfect around

The melon growers Of this neighborhood
are 1uhllant over the results of their crop.

melons alone to pay their entire indebted
ness for the year Of their whole crop.

LOOKS BAD FOR raE FAIR.
Its Friends May Defeat the Sundry
OWL Bill.

OWL Bill
WASHINGTON, July 30.-Though keeping
up brave show OF confidence it was plain
to be seen that the worlds fair people were
somewhat disheartened when the House ad-
journed o-day without making any pro-
gress toward a solution Of the present diff
Guilty. Their great fear now is tho disap-
pearance of quorum, and, judging from
the number OF members who were prepar-
ing to quit the city for more or less
extended periods even before adjournment
to-day, it would appear that this fear is by
no means RroundlesS But what help a
quorum is to bring Co them in this pass
they are not prepared to say, for even a
quorum cannot prevent filibustering with
out q special rule The committee on rules
Is not likely to bring in such a rule unless
requested 70 do so by majority of the
democratic representatives aud that
majority has not yet been Sc
cured by the fair managers. The
situation has undoubtedly grown
more serious and more interesting to the en-
tire public, irrespective OF their sentiments
toward the fair, by reason OF the latest
move of the Illinois contingent. which con-
sisted In objection, by Mr.. Hopkins. TO con-
sideratiop of the bill extending the
appropriations carried by the last
sundry civil appropriation bill. 1t may be
possible 10 put this resolution through Non
day, in which event no great harm will have
been done. But If the fair men persist in
obstruoting its passage, they may be able to
delay its passage for an indefinite period.
IMPORTANCE OF THE BILL.
The failure of the sundry civil bill even
for few days, will work most disastrously.
The bill covers q varied nsld of govern
mental interests, and although generally re-
garded as ono of the least important Of the
general appropriation bills, 1t is in truth
one of the most important, carrying as it
does appropriations for the public printing,
light house and life saving service bureau
of engraving and printing, coast and
geodetic survey, for the enforcement
Of the Chinese exclusion act and
the alien contract law: for heating
and lighting the public buildings, for the
quarantine service, for preventing depreda-
| tions on the public lands. and for many
| other objects Of national concern. The
laws relative TO the light house and life saw
| ing service are susceptible of the construc-
| ton that in order TO protect life aud pro-
erty the services may be continued, but the
persons employed will have to work
voluntarily and look to congress
for reimbursement. The government
printing office ceased work at midnight
until Tonight until congress either passes
the bill or the House adopt the resolution
passed by the Senate to-day just before its
| adjournment. Owing to The short sessions
| In both houses to-day the Congressional
| Record was printed before midnight, and
as the House will no doubt take prompt ac-
| tion on the Senate resolution Monday morn
ing little delay is likely to follow In the
| real work of the office

ing Netos: "Voltmeter" is quite right about
precautions being necessary to prevent other
wires and persons also, from touching a
trolley wire, as the effect on person is any
thing but pleasant and toe roads now oper-
ating here do take all possible precautions;
but if be tanks that the voltage ever goes
above 500 he is entirely mistaken. Five
hundred is the upper limit, and it is fire.
quently as low as 400. "Voltme1er" does
not understand the first law governing the
flow of a current or he would know that the
voltage required with one car was the same
as with eight or any Luuher number, the
voltage simply showing the difference Of
electrical pressure betwesR the Trolley and
rail while the current in ampeFes leaving
the station increase regularly as the num-
Der of cars on the line increases.

SANTA Fee, N. NJ, July 25.-James
Moore a native of st. Louis, for years a
prospector In the Magdalena mountains,
had a hand TO hand encounter with a
wounded she bear near Magdalena four
weeks ago. He now lies at st. Vincent's
hospital in this city with six deep gashes I'm
his face and neck, and one of which would
have brought death to a man OF less nerve.
He has the use of but one eye. and woHnds
in his chin and throat prevent him from
eating.
Quite a little romance attaches 10 the
nervy mans western life. Thirteen years
ago he left his home in st. Louis, and has
for ten years past been mourned as dead by
his sister, Mrs. Thomas B. Miller Of that
city. When so severely mangled by the bear
be conaded 60 Socorro county friend his
sisters name and address, aud said In case
be died he wanted his sister notified. The
friend, deeming recovery impossible, notified
the lady Of her brothers misfortune and
gave her news of bis whereabouts. This was
the first tidings his sister had heard of him
in all these years.
In the meantime she had married Mr..
Miller. The latter gentleman arrived here
and brought with him many gifts for the
sufferer. In order to identify himself he
also brought a number Of handkerchiefs, a
music box and other articles, which form
erIy belonged to MIR. Moore, and which he
had. upch leaving home, left in care OF his
sister.
Although entire strangers to each other,
the meeting between the men was a happy
one Mrs. Miller arrived from St. Louis
yesterday. and will remain until her

GUYToN, GA, July 30.-Editor Morning
NetOs: We write this to refute the charge
made by Hon. p W. Williams. aud pub
lished in Fridays MORNING Nnws, that Col.
H. g. Wright sought the nomination for.
senator two years ago. We were pres
emit at the mass meeting held in
Springfield at the time and heard Col.
Wright advocate the claims of Bryan
county before that meeting, He Col. W.
also offered a resolution instructing the DEL
esates to the senatorial convention 10 vote
for the man presented by Bryan county,
which resolution was passed, We we're
delegates to the senatorial convention and
under the resolutions of instruction
offered by Col Wright voted for P. W.
Williams first, last and all the time As
Col. Wright is an intelligent man, We judge
his motives by his actions, aud we failed to
see in the latter the least suspicion of any
desire for the senatorship at that time.
Two OF the delegates from this county have
died since the convention. We take this
oppoDt unity Of expressing our condempa-
ton of the ingratitude of this Bryan faction.
They were the bene6ciaries OF Col. Wright's
political action two years ago. They are
now not only attempting to defeat him for
senator, but worse than all. they are try
ing TO asperse his private character. In
Justice to Bryan county, we would say that
these reflections apply only to p. w. Will

sized chunks in the tub, " said Senator Blank to

he was undeceived, for the senator sent down
to inquire why that ice hadn't been put in his
bath. Even then the clerk could scarcely be-

plated such an arctic ablution, but the request
was complied with, and one member Of tho
