resolution, and there was not n quorum
OF Democrats in the house, the ayes be-
ing 1877 and nays l.
Mr.. CatChings, OF Mississippi, at once
entered motion to reconsider the vote
by which the house had agreed to adj
ourn on Friday. He said the motion
would be entered and the resolution re-
called from the senate.
Mr.. Reed, of Maine, asked il motion
could be entered when there was no
quorum, and the speaker said it could
be, or the member might lose the op.
portunity to enter his motion.
Mr.. Wilson, Of West. Virginia, at
once moved call OF the house. 1t is
the intention OF tho Democrats to get 4
quorum to pass the resolution.
A resolution was adopted reVoking
leaves OF absence and instructlng the
sergeant-at-arms to arrest absentees.
The call developed the presence OF
PA members.
At 1915 Executive Clerk Pruden au-
nounced the Presidents approval Of the
repeal bill
For three hours the members OF the
house waited patiently for the appear
anee OF absentees. Meanwhile the dePg.
ties OF the sergeant-at-arms were scour-
ing the city with subpGnas for absent
members.
At 1885 Mr.. Wilson moved to dispense
with further proceedings under the
call. This was for the purpose OF de-
veloping whether or not the Democrats
had quorum OF their own present.
The Democrats themselves voted against
the motion. The vote resulted 8 to 100.
Upon the announcement Mr.. Reed
arose and offered to compromise. 1t
being apparent, he said, that no Quorom
was present on the Democratic side,
and that if one were to be obtained the
seige would be much prolonged, he
offered, as the size OF the transaction
did not warrant a protracted fight, a
counter proposition, to amend the reso-
luton, giving the ways and means COM
mittee permission to sit during the re-
cess so as to permit the chairman to
file the tariff bill, with the understand
ing that the reports thereon shall be
filed not less than ten days later.
This proposition Mr.. Wilson accepted,
provided the word tariff" before the
DlIl w SlhhScu W LCNGAuGs
The controversy being amicably set
tied the house proceeded TO untangle
the parliamentary knot into which it
had worked itself, after which Mr..
Sayers from tho committee on appro-
priations presented conference report
on the urgency deficiency bill and asked
that the house insist on its disagree
ment to the senate amendment to pay
21,O00 to senate employees for work
done during the recess OF the Fifty-sec-
ond Congress. He explained that this
money should have come out OF the
contingent fund OF the senate and that
the last Congress had refused to pay it.
The house, by vote OF 120 to 4, de-
cided to not recede from its position.
Then at $50 p. III. the house ad-
iourned.

he would stand by hta hearthstone and
guard his home.
Mr.. Squire, Whose amendment was
the pending one, appropriating 100000

New YoRE, Nov. 2.-Six men killed,
others supposed to be dead under the
ruins. dozen persons injured, several
horses dead and property damaged to
the extent of about $4,000 is the sum
total OF the havoc wrought by the ex'
plosion OF boiler this afternoon. 1t
was in the stables Of the Dry Dock,
East Broadway and Battery Street rail-
way, on East Fourteenth street between
avenues A and 3.
Following is a list OF the dead so far
as known:
John Armstrong, engineer.
Thomas Hasson, laborer.
Samuel Mullen, driver.
John ROYAL, lampman.
Joseph Quinn, laborer.
Charles Breslin, laborer.
OF the injured this is but partial
list, as many who were hurt disappear
cd from the scene;
Michael Mcdonald, aged 2S, at Belle
vue haspital, both legs broken below
knees.
Patrick Mcdonnell, aged IS, both
thigh bones fractured and bruised about
the body.
Mrs. Jacob soldinger. cut by flying
glass.
Annie Gallagher, badly bruised by
flying debris.
John Peters, cut by flying glass.
The explosion occurred about. l
o'clock, and those employed in the
stables who lived near by mad just re.
turned from lunch. In that portion OF
the stables to which the explosion was
confined about fifteen men were at
work, mostly on the ground t1oor-the
building is three stories high and OF
brick-banking up corn and grain.
Without warning terrific crash was
heard, and the air for $50 yards in every
direction was filled with bricks, tim
bers, iron and debris OF every descrip-
ton.
A great volume OF escaping steam
hissed above tho tumult. In short
time, however, it had exhausted itself,
and through veil OF dust could be seen
q picture OF wreck and destruction.
The entire front OF the two stable
buildings, Nos. 535 and 537 had been
blown into the street. The second floor,
on which was banked hundreds OF tons
Of fodder fell, going throush into the
cellar. Next the roof fell. The destruc.
ton OF the building was complete and
terrible.
The building opposite, five-story
brick tenement, with two stores and
eight dwelling apartments, all occupied,
presented strange appearance:
Directly in front OF the window OF
saloon kept by John Ruhl lay
the boiler. 1t was of the Lowe patent
make, manufactured at Bridgeport,
Conn, four feet six inches in diameter,
twelve feet in length. There was
scarcely bulge in it. The rivetting
about the bottom showed that the i'm
mense cylinder had been torn out Mt
the roots.
Sergernt Washington Mullen, of the
boiler inspecting bureau, says the ex'
plosion was caused by an over-pressure.
Engineer Armstrong, it is said, was not
licensed to run boiler OF the pat
tern that exploded. 1t was n Lowe
patent boiler and he was only permitted
BY law to run a tubular horizontal boil
or. Armstrong was employed in the
Corlears street stables OF the railroad
company and had only come up for the
day,
Far into the night gang OF laborers
were at work clearing the wreck away.
The bodies OF dozen horses were drag
red out.

MARRIED UNDIR THE TREES.


The superstition that attributes i'll LUCK
to Friday is nowhere so noticeable as upon
the marriage-lioense records. 1t is very
seldom that more than one or two LICENSES
are issued upon this day. and 1t often hap
pens that not q single applicant appears.
Those that do take ont licenses upon that
day usually have some reason of more than
ordinary moment for desiring the solem-
nization of the ceremony as quickly as pos
sible. Yesterday there was but one license
issued. Immediately after dinner O license
WAS issued for the marriage OF Charles
Riggs aud Elizabeth Cruiser.
About 2o'clook Justice Daniels received
q telephone call to come at once TO Military
Park and marry o couple of persons who
we're very anxious to embark upon the sea
of mstrimony. The long-desired rain was
at that time falling gently upon mother
earth. but the Squire took his um brella In
hand anil started for the park. When he
arrived there he found only three persons
present-the prospective bride and groom
and o colored man. who acted as q witness
TO the marriage which was solemnized un-
der the trees and umbrellas. After the
was performed the Squire con-
graduated the couple. as Is his custom. and
slowly returned to his Office. richer by not
one farthing for his trip. Both Riggs and
LIS bride. who were the ones who had tele-
phOned for the Justice, are at that point in
life whore II is supposed to be very shady.
