ST. LOUIS, Feb lS-Father Thomas
Sherman, the Jesuit, delivered lecture
before the Sherman Memorial association
on the domestic life OF his distinguished
father, He said that when Mr. Lincoln
suspended his father from n military com
mand during the war 1t was purely on the
ground that the general was insane Tho
generals friends went to Washington to
protest against the suspension, and Mr..
lincoln frankly told them he could not
restore the general, as 1t was evident from
papers before him that the soldier was un.
doubtedly insane An investigation proved
that the papers were not the original
copies, but garbled extracts, and the gen.
sral was restored within few hours

UNDER TONS OF ROCK.
Seven Mon Crushed to Death in ver-
mont Marble Quarry.

RUTLAND, VT, Feb. 13.-One Of the
worst disasters In the history of marble
quarries occurred at West Rutland, in a
quarry operated by the Vermont MAJ le
company. A great mass of stone fell into
the quarry and seven men were instantly
killed and number of others injured.
The victims were crushed SO that some
could not be recognized The victims
were ut work channeling and taking
away refuse, and were all middle aged men.
Soon the news spread to the streets and
hundreds of men, women and children
hurried to the quarry. In the crowd were
many OF the relatives of the killed or In
Juredt and they were frantic with grief,
the scenes being heartrending.
The accident was near the extreme end
of the quarry, far under the hill. The killed
and some of the injured were buried under
tons of rock, and the work of rescue was
carried on with great difficulty
The killed are: William Lukas, Frank
Sulig, Edward Powers, Alexander Blum
quest and three unfecognzed men. In
jured. james Doley, John Dunn, Charles

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Appropriation Bills Will Occupy the
Attention of National Statesmen


Attention Of National Statesmen.
WASHINGTON, Feb 10. : But sixteen
working days remain of the Fifty-second
congress. Only one of the annual appro.
priation bills--the army bill-has become
a law, and from this time on until the 4th
of March both houses of congress will
bend every energy to the completion OF
theremaindcr ofthese important measures.
For this reason it is uncertain whether the
senate will be able to carry out the pro-
gram of legislation, short az it is, arranged
by the Republican caucus The Nicaragua
canal bill is the unfinished business, but
as 1t promises to provoke long debate, it
must from time to time give way TO the
appropriation bills ard conference reports
Next to the Nicaragua bill on the caucus
program is the omnibus statehood bill
Senator carey, who is in charge of the bill
does not propose to lose any opportunity
to advance It, 1t is possible that the SEN
ate may be plunged into financial dis
cuSsion any day in the week should Mr..
Sherman call up the amendment to one of
the appropriation bills, to which he has
given notice, authorizing the secretary Of
the treasury to sell bonds to maintain
specie payments under the resumption act
Now that the silver question is definitely
shelYed for this congress the leaders in the
house do not see anything ahead between
no and the 4th of March to cause trouble
except the appropriation bills and the
anti-options bill 1t is purposed to keep
the house pounding away on the appro.
priation bills with but little intermission
until the last one Is sent over to the sen
ate. Those still remaining before the
house are the pension (Which is under con-
sideration1. the postoflice, the Indian, the
agricultural aud the naval bills. Today
is District of Columbia day. The remains
der of the week will be occupied mostly
with the several appropriation bills,
though there is prospect that special
order may be brought in in behalf Of the
New York and New Jersey bridge bill.
