was the grooming confession by Mrs Marius
Cohen today OF an attempt at arson, which re-
suited in the death of her husband and brother
in-iaw, Marius and Abraham Cohen. Just after
8 O'Clock this morning an officer was attracted
to 2,744 Chateau avenue by fire that, at the
time, was showing through the window. In the
building dwelt Mauus Cohen, his wife and
three children, and brother Abraham, over q
store owned by Marius.
Scarcely had the officers reached the place
when an explosion of terrific force blew
out the entire front of the building. The
body of Abraham was burned to q
crisp Marius was horribly burned and
was removed to the hospital. An examination
showed that the gas fixtures had all been I'M
screwed, allowing the gas TO flow into the room,
and that night or two ago teams had been en-
ployed in carrying goods out the back entrance
of the store. An empty gasoline can was also
found.
Cohen died of his injuries at a hospital. The
men evidently desired to burn the place to Sc
cure the insurance. OF the family moth
ing can be learned beyond the half
confession conveyed in the woman's
moan, "God has punished US" The
family moved into the place two weeks ago
with store and household outfit. The in
surance, which it is now believed the men
planned to get, but lost their lives instead, was

IN THE HOUSE.
Reed and Speaker Crisp Have Heated
ColIoquy Over the Rules,

WASHINGTON CITY, March 4-Creek met Greek
in the House today, and for q few minutes
lively parliamentary colloquy was carried on
between Speaker Crisp and ex-Speaker Reed
over the yexed question Of mo quorum" The
entire day had been consumed in desultory con-
sideratlon of minor measures, and Kilgore of
Texas moved a recess till p. N. On a division
the vote stood s. to SO, Enloe demanded tellers,
and they being refused, raised the point that no
quorum had voted.
"The gentleman from Tennessee" said the
speaker, "makes the point of no quorum on the
motion, and the chair will have to appoint tel
lers''
Here Mr. Reed interposed with the remark:
"ihe gentleman does not make the point of no
quorum, he makes the point that no quorum
voted"
"Under the rules OF the House and under the
present administration of the House." said the
speaker, gentlemen are not present unless they
vote" Applause on the Democratic side.l
"rhat shows" said Mr.. Reed, "that there has
been new system adopted since the last con-
gress."
THAT shows that the present occupant of the
chair viii eudeavor to enforce the rules of the
House as they now exist" retorted the speaker.
Nevertheless" replied the ex-speakcr, ''tne
observation made is entirely correct"
"Perhaps 1t is, said the speaker with dignity,
"bui 1t is entirely out OF ORDER
"it is entirely correct, persisted Mr.. Reed,
land the chair had no right to make such a re-
mark"
1.-THE chair thinks the gentleman entirely out

of no quorum was made by somebody else, and
the chair entertained the point, whereupon the
gentleman from Maine made a suggestion"

said to the chair that the gentleman made the
point that no quorum voted, and the chair
states il 10 be point Of no quorum, which Is a
different proposition. ! have Il right TO call the
attention OF the chair to that. The chair had
no right 20 make such retort, even if he was
supported by disorderly applause upon his side,
which he-permitted.
1.-The chair VIII state" said the speaker, "that
there is no distinction under the present rules
of the House between the point OF no quorum
and of no quorum voting. There was dis
tiuoilon between those points as under the rules
OF the last congress"
During this colloquy between the speaker and
Reed both gentlemen appeared to lose some of
their customary eQuanimity, and their retorts
were characterized by some degree OF warmth.
The second night session of the House for phi
vate pension bills proved no moro successful
than the first, kiig0re OF Texas being on hand
with his point OF mo quorum"

A Riotous Iowa Revival,

DIES MONIES, March 4.-Late tonight reports
received at the Register Office state that revival
under the auspices OF the Free Methodists has
been going on in Corning for some time The
town is thoroughly excited, and the rougher
and free-thinking elements have opposed
the revival, threatening the leaders with
mob violence on account of the effect they wore
having on the people, some of whom have
shown symptoms OF religious insanity The
revivalists declare 1t the work of God and have
Kept up the meetings. Roughs have surrounded
the church and attempted TO break I'D the sery-
ices. This afternoon, just as the governor
was leaving Des Molnes, he was appealed TO by
local minister. who asked him to order ont
the militia. The governor teiegraphed for
further information, receiving a reply that the
local authorities and sheriff did not desire the
assistance Of the militia, consequently nothing
has been done.

Sensation in the Field Insanity Case,

New YORK, March 4-Judgs Van Brunt
created sensation in the Field inssnsity hear
ing this evening. The hearing has been pro-
ceeding quietly for seven days. At7:15 D. m
this evening Judge Van Brunt suddenly inter-
rupted the proceedings, and said "When this
trial began counsel promised il would consume
but five days, and have already sat here eight
days and the prospects of finishing it are
meager indeed. Gentlemen of the jury" he
added, rising, ''you are discharged" For mo-
ment all was confusion. The Judge,
with much elaboration, was putting
on his overcoat, while the iury
seemed too much surprised to do anything but
sit still and wonder. Then Mr.. Cochran walked
over to District Attorney Nicoll and remarked:
swell, Pll be d" $50 will l." replied the
district attorney. The judge left court. but was
intercepted by counsel. who, with many prom
Uses, induced him to return. He did SO only to
adjourn court until tomorrow. The case will
probably be concluded then. Judge Van Brunt's
action is almost Unprecedented, and accounted
for by the fact that the case, having overrun the
limit has compelled the judge to sit up nights
preparing for his general term of work in the
supreme court.

CHICAGO, March 4-Who drew up the forged

the alleged discovery of DR.. Scudder's surrepti-
tious handling of the private papers OF the rich
woman he is charged with having murdered he
might never have been suspected of the crime
The forged will is in possession of Attorney
Tolman, representing the dead woman's hus-
band and sister. The circumstances under
which Scudder had drawn it, If he did,
will likely go far to prove or disprove his sanity
and guilt 1t seemingly was prepared by a
lawyer, and the question OF the attorneys
identity and possible completely is being care
fully put toward a solution. 1t is said
an expert to whom the two wills
were submitted before Dr. scudder's
arrest and who knew nothing of the eircum-
stances of the case, decided without hesitation
thst the two documents were not signed by the
same person, one signature showing the tremor
of old age, or feebleness, and the other firmly
written, with forced attempts at irregularity Of
outline.
The case of DR.. NJ. scudder, accused of the
murder of his mother-iu-law, Mrs. Dunton,
called for inquiry as to his insanity in court,
was postponed this morning for one week. A
reporter who interviewed Scudder received the
impression that he is shamming insanity. Scud-
der denied that he killed Mrs Dunton. DR.. Ly-

Seudder to be insane.

opportunity to see the dead woman's face.
When the body was in Chicago the head

WASHINGTON CITY, March A. Especial l.
enator Allen today presented a petition OF
Columbia council, Patrons of Husbaudry, rep
1esenting!the subordinate oranges of Clarke and
9kamenia counties, in the state OF Washington.
reciting that these counties are an important
part OF the country, dependent upon the Colum-
bia river for their outlet to market also recting
that they possess rich and varied resources of
agriculture and timber and mining lands,
which require for their development and the
support of their enterprise the free and unob-
structed navigation of the great river from the
Cascades to the Pacific ocean, aud setting forth
that between them and the ocean single sand
bar exists In the river, toward the removal of
which nothing has ever been done by the
general government, and urging that liberal
appropriations be made for the removal of this
comparatively trivial obstruction to commerce
Senator Allen made few brief remarks in
support OF the point made by the petitioners,
and the memorial was referred to the committee
on commerce.
