4 SEANCE IN THE HOUSE.

The Lower Branch of Congress Holds a
Conventional Night session-Acrimo-
niOus Colloquys on the Car Coupler Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-The incidents
of the night session were similar to those
which occur on every such occasion Wit
and humorous repartee were prevalent,
but occasionally harsh word uttered
either Intentionally or unintentionally
would stir up strife among the members
and would lend a somewhat dramatic
effect to the proceedings, or rather to
the lack of proceedings. Under the
guise of questions of personal privileges
number of gentlemen availed them
selves of the opportunity to state their
views on the "car coupler" bill and
acrimonious colloquys were not infre-
quent. But taken as a whole, the
session gave rise to no continuous bad
feeling, and as the hours passed away
the members became less aggressive and
more sleepy. The floor of the chamber
was strewn with papers-large papers
small papers and scraps of papers of
almost infnitesimal proportions.
Members lounged in their chairs,
reposed on the many sofas or congre-
gated in the cloak room to enjoy a cozy
chat and fragrant cigar Occasionally
the loungers became, to a certaint extent,
interested in the proceedings; occa.
sionally the occupants of the sofas were
aroused by the tones of angry voices
occasionally the smokers left the cloak
room fires 10 turn an attractive ear To
what was being done in the House.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22.-The South
ern express on the Pennsylvania railroad
which left Broad Street Station at 10. 90
this morning collided with the Media
accommodation train near South Street
Station, West Philadelphia.
Three cars of the accommodation train
were wrecked and FIVE persons killed.
Twelve others were injured. Names of
killed and wounded not yet learned
The injured have been removed to the
University Hospital.
A rumor gained wide circulation that
the special train bearing President Har-
rison from Washington to New York
was one of the trains in collision. This
however was untrue. The Presidents
special passed through here for New
York about on schedule time
The accommodation train was crossing
a switch to pull into South street station.
All the cars but the last one had crossed
when the Southern express came rushing
up the track aud struck the last passen
ger car of the local full in the middle
The express was made up entirely Of
heavy Pullmans and the light passenger
was hurled fifty feet from the track and
broken and smashed by the terrible fore,
of the blow. The express train escaped
injury and the engineer Immediately
stopped mis- train.
The crash of the colliding trains anC
the screams and shrieks of the unfor
tunate people pinned down beneath tn
broken timbers of the wrecked ca
speedily attracted an excited crowd to th
scene. The Twenty first District polio
station is but a few squares from tn
place where the accident occurred and q
squad of officers we're soon on the site
and the work Of extricating, the injured
passengers was soon accomplished.

me star spnngled Banner RAISED over
the Handsome New Building of the
Shields Library Association.
There was an informal fag-raising at
the Shields Library Building about 10
o'clock this morning. A handsome
Butler bunting flag, l0x16 was unfurled
to the breezes by representatives of the
association who had been detailed TO do
the work.
At the time the flag was raised IL was
the only Star Spangled Banner seen float
ing from the housetops or flag stays of
the city. This was probably because
the pulleys and ropes were frozen or
damaged by the sleet.
Some time ago the directors decided
that Washington's Birthday would be a
very appropriate occasion for the dedica.
tion of the handsome new building.
Since then It was found that arrange

poned until some future date.

CHICAGO, Feb 22.--All doubts as to
the intention OF the switchmen through
out the West making a demand for an
increase Of wages were settled yesterday
by the Switchmen's Mutual Aid Associa
tlon at Topeka, which made demand
on the general manager Of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe railway for an in
crease Of % per cent in their wages all
over the line from Chicago to Los Angeles
and the making of several minor changes
in the rules and regulations The de.
mand was accompanied with the threat
of striking If it were not complied with,
and as it has been refused the switchmen
may 60 out to day unless wiser counsels
prevail.
The action of the switchmen on the
Santa Fe road was surprise to all con-
cerned. The officers of the Switchmen'z
Mutual Aid Association did not think
that any demand would be made before
March l. A few days ago Grand Master
Wilson sent out circular authorizing
the switchmen on all roads TO make
demand for an increase Of % per cent.
and change in the rules and regula-
tions on or soon after March l.
Yesterday he returned TO Chicago from
a trip and the first news that met him
was the intelligence from Topeka that a
demand had been made and refused He
left Immediately for that place, and he
will arrive there this morning. It Is
said by the officers of the association
that he will, II possible, prevent strike
aud discharge any hasty action, but it is
possible that he will not be able to pre-
vent it and in this case it might precipi-
tate the demand for an increase all over
the country.

A St. Louis Girls Remarkable Infatua-
tiOn for Woman.
ST LOUIS, Feb. pa strange case of
mutual infatuation between girls that
has strong Mitobsll-ward SAVIOR, is re
ported from South St. Louis. The family
of Mary Gray, pretty girl of 10 live at
1880 Park avenue Up to September last
Mary lived there also. She was en-
ployed in downtown restaurant near
Union Market. Minute Freidig.a woman
of 25 sells chickens in the market and
the two soon became acquainted.
Mary had never cared much for the
attention Of the opposite sex, but became
violently enamored of Minnie Freidig.
The affection was returned and out of
working hours the two were always to-
gether. Minnie was continually making
presents to Mary.
F nally, when she gave the girl a
valuable gold watch Mrs. Grsy's indig-
nation broke loose and she forbade Mary
to have anything to do with the woman.
Opposition only famed the flame Of their
passion, however, and one day Mary dis.
appeared from her home. Her brother,
Oscar, tracked her to Minnie Freidig's
house on Linn street. A watch was set
on the place Il was found that no one
lived in the fat but the two girls; that
they never had male visitors, but were
continually together Oscar wrote q
kind letter to his sister, begging her to
break the unnatural ties that bound hel
and return home. In reply he received
a note in a handwriting not his sister
telling him that she wanted nothing more
to do with them.
A week or two ago he met his sister OF
the street and induced her to go homl
with him. The girl was kept there TO
several days, although she begged to b
allowed to go to Minnie She fnall,
escaped and returned to the FreidiI
house. Some days later her brothe
called at the house and was so vehemen
in his entreaties that the girl went t.
Clerk Heating of the First District Polio
court and swore out a summons charg
ing him with disturbing the peace Sh
claimed that her brother had kept he
locked up and beaten her
Mrs. Gray as soon as she heard Of tn
summons called on Clerk Heating an
told the story of the intimacy of tn
two girls adding that her daug hter ha
always been treated with kindness a
home. A Miss Wise who accompanie
Mrs Gray, confessed to the clerk tha
she had at one time been very intimat
with Minnie Freidig and that she onl
ceased her relations with her when he
health became broken down. On thes
statements the case against Oscar Ora
was nolle pressed. The two girls indiI
nantly deny that there are any improp'
relations between them, but say I'll
Gray girl left home on account of
treatment.
Miss Freidig states that when Mi
Gray first came to her, her back, nee
and arms were covered with welts al
bruises caused by frequent and seve
beatings from her mother, sister an

Young Bulloeks, .Home-raised.
As has long been the custom in VIII
mington on Washingtons Birthday or
thereabouts, show beef will be displayed
at the different markets and meat stalls
throughout the city this evening, and
for the rest cf the week. In this the
leading butchers of the city have long
Wed with each other, and this year they
have each made an extra effort to exhibit
a display in the various markets, in con-
sequence of this it is well worth seeing,
and it is said that better home raised beef
was never displayed for sale at their
stalls.
The first man to hang up exhibition
beef on his hooks was William Glynn of
| Eighth street market, who displayed
four splendid four year-olds which
weighed ], 400 pounds each, live weight
The four steers were raised and fatted
in Chester county and were driven to
this city early in the week and slaugh
tered here.
Fred Kienle and ]. D. Thompson Of the
Second street market have an elaborate
display of fine beef from what were
probably the heaviest steers ever slaugh.
tered at the Wilmington Abattoir. These
beeves are Delaware product, two of
the seven steers we're fed on the farm of
J. Edward Addicks in Brandywine hun
dred. Their weight was $3.50 pounds.
Two others were fed by George Kerr,
weight 4, 305 pounds, and the other three
were raised and fatted by j. Harry
Flynn, above Hockessin. They weighed
$50 pounds.
In the Third street mar ket j. V. Mar
tin and ]. f. Martin have a splendid dis
play of home raised beeves. The fine
exhibition here is from six young bullockl
from the farm Of Hossinger and Elliott
near Newark. These bullocks weighed
800 pounds apiece. live
In the Eighth street market there ar
several displays of show beef. Thoma
Z II. Sharp has a very nice steer whicl
J weighed alive, 1,4O0 pounds, whicl
was raised in Chester county. James
Prentiss procured steer from Harfor
county, Nd, raised and fatted by farme

together $3.50 pounds. These young

With all this supply of extra fine beef
the prices will remain unchanged and the
Wilmington consumers will have the
advantage of getting something extra on
account of it being Washington's Birth
