APPROPRIATION BILL.
Iwo of the Heaviest Ones to be
ReDOrted Early.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-The appro-
priations committee this year will prob
ably reverse its usual order of bringing
forward the appropriation bills, and get
two of its heaviest annual bills, viz: The
sundry civil and legislative, executive
and judicial appropriations. iuto the
house early in the session, leaving the
pension and deficiency bills to bring up
the rear. The fortifcation bill has
already been reported. and the District
OF Columbia bill should be ready for the
house the first week after it reassembles,
has it in charge, has already found that
hislot IFS not happy one' 1t was ex
pected to report the lDistrict bill before
any other of the regular appropriation
biEs, but large number of local officers
and others came forward to show why
the knife OF economy should mot be
used to pare the projects i'll which they
| were Interested, and the holiday recess
found the bill still i'll the hands of the
| committee. HoWever,->its preparation
will be complete in season to be taken
UP by the house immediately after the
fortlficatlon bill is acted upon. The
sundry civil bill will reach the mouse
during tne1atter part of January, and
the legislative bill about the close of
the month. The pension bill, in the
number of its items, though not in its
total OF appropriations, is small, and
can be quickly prepared; bat the SUBJ
committee has not yet shown any signs
Of getting to work on it, and probably
desires TO wait as long as practicable in
order to get the very latest information
as to the work of adjudication of pen
sion claims andsthe consequent amount
Of money to be needed.

CHUNG TO A CAKE OF ICE.
Narrow Escape From Death OF
Two HaWkeye Citizens.

NAUVoO, ILL.,, Dec. 24-Two men
named Racey and Horton, living at
Montrose, To-, had terrible experience
and a narrow escape from drowning.
They attempted to cross the river in
1limsy skiff through mass of running
ice. The skitf finally upset, filled and
sank. After struggle they succeeded
in catching cake of ice. to which they
clug. 1t was a dreadfully uncertain
means of rescue, however. as the ice
was thin and kept breaking off under
their weight. Ihe two men hoated down
the river for an hour, crying pitifully
for help. LiAe Parker and Fred Will
hemy saw the men, and ran out on the
sandbar at the Riverside mills, where a
skiff lay, but there were no oars, and
Wilhemy ran after oars. He returned
only to find that the oars would not fit
the boat. They ran back some distance
to get another boat. In the meantime
the freezing men on the ice cakes were
witnesses 10 the evidently futile efforts
to save them, and were on the point of
giving up, when three men in a skitf
pulled alongside and took them off.
Both men were terriblychiIled and ex-
hausted, one being unable speak.

the subcommittee in charge Of the
preparation OF the sundry civil appro-
priation bill. is engaged in an inquiry
into the quantity of lightweight or un-
current currency held by the govern
ment. This currency, both gold and sill
yer, now serves no useful purpose for
monetary uses. and might as well be so
much sawdust, since notes cannot be
issued against it while it is debased. 1t
is Mr. Sayers' iftention to ascertain the
amount of this light coin, and to pro-
vide for an increase Of the circulation
by its reconage at full weight. A re-
port sent to congress earlier in the year
SHOWS that there was in the treasury at
that time 81, 100000 III uncurrent gold
coin. 1t was estimated that its recoin-

A CASE OF REBATES.
The Northern Pacific Asked to
Fork Over Some $4,000.

FARGO, S. D., Dec. 24.-The case of
Charles Scott against the Northern Pa
cific Railroad company is on trial before
Judge Mcconnell in the district court,
and is attracting much attention. The
action is brought to recover some $4,000
on rebate on coal and wood brought III
for the Headquarters hotel, Fargo, from
1884 to 1888. and the plaintiff claims he
was to be allowed a rebate of one-half of
the freight upon these articles, which the
defendant denies. Some very interest
ing points of law are being reached.
This case will probably occupy the en-
tire day, so the impeachment proceed
ings against Attorney Crum will go over
until next week.

NO CHRISTMAS SERVICE.
Father Jones Will Not Hold Mass

CANTON, Minn., Dec. "a. = Father
Jones, priest OF the miraculous church,
announced yesterday that he would not
be in town on Christmas day. Then he

fused to explain. He sent out kilograms
III various papers to the same effect, and
seemed desirous of having it widely
known that the expected Christmas
mass was off, but there is no eXplana-

the programme for Sunday. 1t had

all who believe in the cures. that Christ
mas would be red letter day. The

sick be cured in untold numbers.

tCorrespondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
PETERSBURG, Va. September 22.-The
city has been pretty well given over to-day
10 the visiting veterans Of the Grand Army
OF the Republic, large numbers of whom
have come among us. They are very
gentlemanly set of men, who seem to
gratefully appreciate the friendly stten-
tlons shown them by our people. They
occupy the beautiful hall of the A. 7. Hill
Camp of Confederate Veterans, on Iabb
street, as their headquarters. where
many of them are to be found at all times
of the day resting and talking over
the experiences Of the late war. To-
day nearly all of the vehicles of every kind
were in demand to convex the visiting sol
diery 10 the historic battle-telds adjacent
20 the city, upon which many OF them
fought and received their wounds. The
Crater was an object OF especial interest,
though comparatively few of the visiting
veterans shared in that memorable engage
ment. IL is expected that tomorrow many
hundreds Of ex-Federal soldiers will arrive
here from Washington. Many of the old
Confederate soldiers as we'll az citizens
unite in extending courtesies and hospi-
talities to the strangers and endeavor to
make their stay here pleasant one.
