Mr.. Hatch Has q Hard Time In the
House with His Anti-Option
Bill.
The Motion to Suspend the Raies and
Concnr in Senate Amendments .
Lost.
Republicans Succeed In Holding q
Short Executive Session-The Nc
Garrahan Bill.

WASHINGTON, March Mr.. Hatch
has been having hard time in the
house with his anti-option bill, and its
death knell has undoubtedly been
sounded by the latest action of that
body, for this session at least. At
the morning session Mr.. Hatch
moved to suspend the rules and concur
in the senate amendment to the anti
option bill. Against this motion point
of order was made, but was overruled.
A second was demanded on Mr.. Hatch's
motion and it was ordered by vote of
1853 to Z. The vote on the motion to
suspend the rules was then taken and it
was lost, 172 ayes to 123 noes, not the
necessary two-thirds.
The senate amendments to the agri-
cultural appropriation bill were then
non-concurred in and the bill was sent
to conference.
The Senate.
WASHINGTON, March Soon after
the meeting of the senate, on motion of
Mr.. Sherman, the senate went into
executive session without any opposi-
ton from the Democrats. The doors
were closed for about half an hour. and
when they were reopened the routine
morning business was proceeded with.
The McGarrahan bill was taken up
and debated for time, after which Mr..
Hill, in pursuance of the notice given,
moved to proceed to the consideration
of the Hudson river bridge bill, declin-
ing the request of Mr.. Teller to withhold
the motion until the McGarrahan bill
was disposed of. The yeas and nays
were demanded by Mr.. Wolcott and the
result of the vote was-yeas 26, nays "a.
AS soon as the bill was taken up it was
laid aside temporarily, (not losing its
right Of way) in order to have the post

A terrible tragedy occurred at Sey-
mour, Ind, last Sunday. Four years
ago Clinton Jordan married daugh-
ter of Joshua Foster, with whom he
had never lived happily. Last week
they separated finally and she return
ed to the home of her father. Last
night Jordan met his father-in-law
and accompanied him home. Jordan
promised to behave, but soon after
his arrival at Fosters house he began
to quarrel. Foster ordered him out
OF the house. Jordan fired at the old
man, but missed him, the ball strik-
ing Miss Cora Foster, aged II, in
the head, killing her instantly. His
second shot hit Foster in the head.
Foster fell, but arose and ran a quar-
ter of mile to the home of another
son-in-law, where he died Monday.
Jordan then shot Mrs. Foster, his
mother-in-law, in the neck, causing
wound from which she died Monday
night. Jordan's wife attempted to
defend her mother and he stabbed
her repeatedly in the breast, hands
and face and ended by shooting her
dead.
Jordan then sent bullet through
his own heart and fell dead across the
body of his wife.

The launching of boat construct
ed of aluminium at Paris several davs
ago marks new era in the shipbuild
ing industry. This boat is intended
for the forthcoming expedition into
the interior of Central Africa, under
the supervision of Commander Mon
tell. The boat is a fiat bottomed
ferryboat, and she is capable of carry
ing load of fifteen tons, is thirty
feet long and has a beam of eight and
one-half feet. Her total weight is
1920 pounds, of which nine-tenths is
of metal and the remainder of wood.
The lightness of construction has only
been obtained by the use OF alumini-
um and the difficulty had to be over
come by rolling sheets Of this metal
feet long, , feet, inches wide and
l 2 inch thich. The most useful
advantage of this boat in exploring
expeditions is that it is made in
twenty-four different parts, each of
which can be carried comfortably by
one man. and which can be adjusted
by means of bolts india rubber be-
ing provided at the joints of the Sec
tions so as to render the bottom water
tight. When afloat it requires only

The secretary of agriculture, in his
report just submitted to the president,
regrets the vague character of the de-
partment organization, which, he
says, "offers opulent opportunities
for the exercise of the most pronoun-
ced paternallsm," but he adds that
there are many proper ways in which
the federal government may legiti-
mately serve the cause of agriculture.
He devotes considerable space to what
he regards as an anomalous partner
ship between the government of the
United States and the governments
of the respective states for the con-
duct and encouragement of state ag-
ricutural colleges and experiment
stations.
The secretary gives the number of
employees when he took charge as
2497, aud states that there are now
on the pay-rolls only 1894, a reduc-
tion of 503 !; and of the 1894 he saws

evening by the passenger train due
there from Burlington at o'clock.
The train was about 20 minutes
late and did not slack up atthe cross

who live in the vicinity of Pine and
State streets have been in the habit
of getting off the train at the crossing,
and Hart was among the number who
did it. Hart evidently thought that
the train would slack up Saturday

foremost to the track. The top of
his head was crushed to a jelly and
his features were completely disfigur-
