had thrust the Democratic party in power
in order to enable it to repeal those laws
which had been put into force by the
Republicans, and 1t was the duty OF the
Democratic party to sepeal the laws per-
uniting federal Interference at the State
elections.
benson (Dem. Ala.) followed in a
speech of a similar tenor, in which he
denounced the Federal election laws.
Referring to the war he created laugh
by the sentence: "You were success.
full but you did not whip US; we we're
ourselves whipped out trying to whip
you"
He then proceeded to argue against
the Federal election laws on constitu-
tlonal right and he and Ray (Rep, n.
Y,,) grew controversial and arguments.
tive on this point, Ray taking the con-
trary position. He also got into a col.
loquy with Blair (Rep., N. H. but the
colioquy was uninterestipg and he
closed by declaring that free and indie
pendent States were the sovereign
rights and the liberties OF the people.
[Applause.l
Cooper Dem, Fla,) opposed the
Federal election laws. They were pro-
ductive OF nothing but evil and ought to
be wiped out with all the speed which
could be given to the legislative pro-
ceedings.
Clark Dem, Mo- said that one of the
reasons which the people had hurled the
Republican party from power was that
that party was the inveterate enemy of
free elections. The average citizen
liked fair dealing. The people did not
like the idea of United States marshal
wagering around the polling places
with bludgeons in their hands and
pistols by their side, saying who should
vote or ahould not vote on any pre- :ense
or on no pretense at all.
Discussing the negro question, Clark
predicted that within short time the
people OF the South, white ard black,
would be found working together on ali
economy questions. He ridiculed the
love which, he said, the Republican
party pretended to feel toward the
negro. For 364 days of the year the Re-
publican party had no use 70, the negro.
1t was on the 365th day only that 1.
called out "Sambo'' and covered him
with love and affection. (Laughter).
In conclusion Clark said that the
Democrats were honest and earnest in
this business. Whatever the Republi.
cans might think about it tho Demo
Gratis had no doubt about holding the
executive and executive branches and
would soon hold the Judiciary branch
for the next twenty five years with full
consent of majority OF the American
people. The House at $50 adjourned.

BITTEN BY A SPIDER.
MIR. Clynes Suffers From Blood
Poisoning as a Result of
the Bite.

W. K. Clynes, a house moving con-
tractor, who lives at Varick and Golden
streets, has narrowly escaped serious
case of blood poisoning from the bite of
an ordinary house spider.
Mr.. Clynes contracted to move several
houses from the line of the new county
road. While experimenting the removal
of one last Thursday he felt stingin5
sensation on the index finger of his
left hand between the knuckle
and the first joint and brushed off a
black looking insect from his finger. He
was busy, and did not notice particularly
what Kind OF an insect it was, but now
thinks it was an ordinary black spider.
When be returned home to dinner he
found that the fuger was swelling, and
later on it caused him considerable pain.
The swelling gradually increased, ,travers-
ing the back Of mis- hand, up and peyond
the wrist into the forearm.
Alarmed at the swollen and fnfiamed
condition of the affected part of his hand
and arm. and, feeling of nauseating
sickness next morning he called upon
DIR. Adolph Hirstein, who found lesion
OF the skin on the finger in question,
through which poison had been intro
ducsd
The doctor Immediately applied lotion
to the affected parts and ordered internal
medicines, to cOunteract the influence OF
blood poisoning.
Mr.. Clynes was. however, confined to
his home until yesterday, when he was
enabled to walk about outdoors. The
swelling mad greatly diminished last
niQht.

AFTER THE ASSEMBLY.
The Republican State General Conn
mittee Will Take a Hand
in this Fall.

The Republican State General Commit
the is in session now at the Union League
Club. The me citing was called two weeks
ago and the notices sent TO the members
stated that the presence Of every men,
Der at the meeting was greatly desired,
for business of great Importance would
be discussed.
Today the attendance was very good.
Among the more noted were Franklin
Murphy. Chairman. Colonel John J.
Toffey, Major Anderson, Vice c hartman,
Ricnard Il. Readding, Matthias Woolley
of Long Branch, Mr.. Bettla of Camden
and r. B. Seymour and E. w. Woolley
of this city.
IL was learned soon after the members
assembled that the Republican Party
throughout the State believes that the
next election will give the republicans
the best opportunity they have had for
years to elect majority in the Assembly
1t has hitherto bsen The custom of the
State Committee not to interfere in cleo
tions where State or National officers are
not elected, but many of the committee
are of the opinion that next fall the State
COMMITTEES should take an acIive part in
the election, particularly in this county
and Essex. 1t was to discuss this propo-
sition that the State Committee is now
in session.
There is no doubt but that majority of
the committee believe that the State
Committee could do much toward elect
ing republicans, but the minority MEM
bers fear TO break through the old estab-
lfshed precedent of non-interference in
elections of This nature.
The conclusions that will be reached
today will determine the policy Of the
republicans this fall.
Incidentally the subject of election
officers in this county may be talked over.

SWEAT SHOP HORROR.
Lives Lost, Perhaps Many
of Them, in a New York
RoOkerY Fire.

NEW YORK. June 13, 1S93.-About half
past eight o'clock this morning the six
story building at No. 10 and 10 Mont
gomery street, was entirely gu5ted. re-
sulting in an appalling disaster, probably
twenty victims having been buried in the
ruins, thus far five having been found
dead.
The building was used as sweat shops.
and over 300 men, women and children
were employed iu the building. AT the
hour of the catastrophe blaze of mys-
terious origin started in the building. 1t
seemingly spread to every part in a mo-
ment.
A frightful panic ensued, and in the
intense excitenen5 and crowding Two
m en- and one woman were killed. The
terrified occupants of the building
crowded to the windows ON each floor
and swarmed on the fire escapes. The
fire precautions were entirely inadequate
and many were forced to rush down the
blazing stairs.
No one knew how the fire originated
and it spread over the building so rapidly
that every one turned white with terror,
and shrieks and shouts pervaded the air,
adding still more to the intense excite
ment which prevailed.
Tine police mad the greatest difficulty in
keeping back the multiUudes from the
scene of the disaster. Three alarms were
sent out in quick succession, but the
progress of the fire was SO rapid, and it
spread SO quickly through the eramsnackle
old building. that all efforts to arrest the
progress of the fire were without avail.
The following is complete list of
those taken to Gouverneur Hospital:
Morris Nadleston, aged forty-hye years.

ferred to obtain gold supply by ex-
change for greenbacks, but the bankers
did not wish to give it in that way.
According to Saturdays bank state
ment the associated banks of New York
held 81, $50. 900 in specie; probably more
than $4,000, 900 of this is gold. The bank
ers' views have heretofore been, that
while they were willing to subscribe to
the issue of bonds to tide over the interval
before legislation can be accomplished,
they are unwilling to give gold in order
that the export to Europe might be facili-
tated
AT this stage of the incident came the
the news from gold-lenders in Boston
where the banks had decided to part
with one-half of their 50, 0OO,O 900 of gold.
If the gold resources of the interior banks
are unlimited, there can be little doubt
these double transfers would force the
hand of the New York banks, and that in
defense of their own reserves. if for no
other reason, they would open their own
gold boards to the Government.
The exports of gold tomorrow will ag-
gregate 50, 900; of this amount 81, 1OO,-
600 was withdrawn from the Sub-Treas-
ury to-day, of which Sl,0O0,OO0 was paid
for In Treasury notes and the remainder
in greenbacks,
