All DAY the loosened fragments OF ice
from points above filed the river and

What the National Legislature viii
Do this Week.
ANTI-OPTION BILL IN THE SENATE
To Be Disposed Of Tuesday-Ap-
preparation Bills on the Calen-
dar - The Programme in the
House-The President Sends q
New Extradition Treaty With
Sweden to the Senate.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., January 2e.-
The most notable event OF the week In
Congress will probably be the DISPOSE
tion OF the anti-optlon bill in the Senate.
By arrangement the final vote upon the
bill will be taken up at o'clock Tues
day. 1t will then in all probability oe
sent back to the House with its many
amendments, an entirely different meas
ure from the original Hatch bill as
passed by that body.
The first two Of the regular annual
appropriation bills are now on the cal
endar OF the Senate-the army bill and
the fortifcatlon bill-and II is expected
that the District OF Columbia appropri-
atl1ns bill will be added to the list early
In the week.
It's the expectation OF the managers
also to call up the Cullom bill making
amend ments TO the Interstate Com
merce laws TO meet recent judicial de-
cisions.
THE HOUSE
leaders intend to keep at work on tho
aODTOQTidLlOn DlllN W bho NANaAe'SA ~
all olher business. As soon as the sun
dry Civil bill Is passed the Generrl Deli
cheney, the Consular and Diplomatic,
the Military Academy, the Pension and
the PostofEce appropriation bills all OF
which are now on the calendar will be
taken up probably in the order named,
and sent over TO the Senate. There
should not be much delay In
passing the first three OF these
bills, unless an attempt TO
exploit the condition OF the treasury
should involve the House In general
financial debate. The pension and
postofiice supply bills are quite likely
to be the subject OF considerable dis
cusslon, owing toNsome radical changes
in methods proposed by the former bill
and to heavy incre ses OF appropria-
tions. proposed by the latter bill.
The passage OF these bills VIII leave
only three o! the annual appropriation
bills Enacted upon by the HdSe. Two
of these bills, the Indian and agrlcul-
tnral, are expected to be reportSd be-
fore the appropriation measures no<GB

SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Excursion Train Wrecked---only
One Kllled---Number Injured.

BUFFALO, n. ", July 19.-An eX-
cursion train carrying Sunday
Schools of Bethany and Bethlehem
churches of Buffalo on Western
New York and Pennsylvania rail-
road was wrecked at East Aurora,
at I :45 o'clock last night.
One man was fatally injur-
ed, and ID or 20 others, old and
young, more or less seriously
hurt. Owing to lack of facilities
for communication, full details OF
the wreck We're not Obtainable I'M
til after midnight. The coaches
We're filled with eXcursionists, and
that they escaped with no more
serious injury is almost a miracle.
AS near as can be learned the
accident was due to careless
ness. The evening local train
from Buffalo to East Aurora
had just pulled into the station,
where it stops. The engineer of
the local left the switch open, in
tending to return to the main line.
Just then the excursion train
rounded the curves, and came
down heavy grade. The engineer
of the excursion train saw the dan
ger, but it was too late to stop
his train and it struck the local.
The scene in the wrecked coaches
was almost indiscribable. The in
jured were speedily removed, and
upon the arrival af a special car,
bearing surgeons, were given all
possible attention. There was one
act that came near being heroic.
HansOn,'a flagman of the excursion
train was thrown from the baggage
car, and received a broken arm and
a crushed side. Despite his severe
injuries, he seized his flag and ran
up the track to warn the freight
train coming down the grade. He
| accomplished his purpose, but
after it was done he fell fainting
| beside the track where he was
found an hour afterwards.

Female Convicts Escape.

ATLANTA, Ga, July 1S.-Five
female cOnvicts have escaped from
MaddoX's camp in the last three
weeks and the rest of the sixty
prisoners there are demOraliZed.
The camp is situated in Ebert
county, near the Savannah river.
All female cOnvicts are sent to this
place. Two of the women ran
away while working in the fields.
One of them had been serving a
life sentence for murder. They
were tracked to the river by dogs,
where all trace of them was lost.
Three other women escaped by
prying up boards in the floor. One
of these convicts was an 1S-year-
old colored girl sentenced to life
imprisonment. These women were
also tracked by dogs as far as the
river. All those who escaped have
worked at polling flat boats on the
river and it is thought that friends
outside of the camp must have
aided them by securing boats
which the women could easily nav
igate.

Not On a Strike.

There was a rumOr in the city
today that the bricklayers were on
a strike and had struck for an adj
vance of from s. to 81 per day, and
the scene of the strike was laid at
the Stoves and Duerler buildings,
on Market street, of which Mr..
Fritz Rotzler is contractor. This
created some excitement among
union men, but on inquiry, the
LIGHT found that only two men
had struck, and these only because
they were not up to the standard.
Mr.. ROtzler offered them 81 per
day, instead of $40 they were get
ting, and they quit. No Others
quit, and all the hands required
are at hand. This is all there is in
