New CASTLE, Dec Sl.-Samuel Mitchell,
son of Levin II. MITCHELL residing on
Union street. was arrested yesterday at the
instance of Mrs. Elizabeth Cmlifle who
claimed he was the man who assaulted her
with felOnious intent ON the lonely road
leading to the Delaware iron works the
night Of December III.
Mitchell is about ~ years of age of good
family and has always borne an excellent
reputation. In her testimony before the
mayor yesterday afternoon. Mrs. CunlIfc
stated that the man who assaulted her was
at the gate of the Delaware iron works
when she passed out after delivering her
husbands supper, and as She left the
place, the man handed in his check to the
night Waterman, saying as he did so that
he was not going to work that night.
Pending the testimony of several Of
MitchelFs witnesses, who were unable to
appear, the prisoner WAS held in 5000 for
further hearing to-day.
At the hearing this morning Mrs. Gun
life In her testimony said She had been
insulted by several members Of the
Mitchell family, who she believed, had a
grudce against her.
Altogether her evidence was rather shaky
Mtchell's appearance does not correspond
at all with the description she gave Of the
person who assaulted her.
George w. Cline, night foreman of the
cutting shop of the Delaware iron works,
where Mitchell works, testified that
Mitchell was at work as usual the night of
December 18th.
Other witnesses testified that Mitchell
was in the works before 6 o'clock and re-
NAMED there until o'clock, in the morn.
ing. If he had been out 10 or 10 minutes
or more the Waterman and his foreman
would have known il and he would have
been locked for the time lost.
A large number of witnesses testified to
his good character, and other workmen
swore to the fact that he worked the whole
night, The mayor then discharged the
prisoner and he was declared entirely in
nOcemt of the serious offence.

Means Subcommittee is Received. :.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-The consultation
between the President.elect and Speaker
Crisp was expected to result in some au.
thurize6 announcement OF the subject of
an extra session. While these anticipG
tons have not been realized, something in
the nature of statement on good all-
thority' is being passed around among the
Democratic leaders. This runs to the
effect that while no final decision will be
made ON the question of an extra session
of Congress until February, BY which time
the cabinet Of President-elect Cleveland
will probably have been selected, the
probabilities are decidedly against an ex.
ira session before next autumn.
MIR. Cleveland, II is stated, has said to
Democratic leaders in Congress that he
will call Congress together III special ses-
sion. lie also told, it is reported, that ID
would not be convened before autumn nm
less the financial situation and the condi-
ton of the treasury made it absolutely
necessary To provide the government with
the necessary amount Of revenue To meet
its expenses. lie wished to avoid the
necessity of an early extraordinary session
very soon after the subcommittee on ways
and means, appointed TO investigate the
condition of the treasury, will begin its
work. On the result of its Investigation
may possibly depend the time at which
Congress is called together.
II is the opinion Of some Of the leading
Democrats in the House that the investi-
CATION will show that the treasury receipts
and expenditures are very nearly equal at
present and th9t there is grave reason to
fear an excess of the latter in the coming
fiscal year.

FRANKFORTS REIGN OF TERROR

A Mans Curiosity and a Match Cause
Many sewer Explosions which Tear Up
the streets and Badly Frighten the Popu-
lace.
FRANKFoRr, Ky, Jan. 30.--Just as
church services were beginning yester-
day, Eve alarms Of FIRE were turned in.
The cause Of IL all was a mans curiosity
and match.
A group Of men were standing on a
street corner at the mouth of a large
sewer guessing what made the water
look so greasy One of them said he
would see and dropped lighted match
into the oily substance.
AT once there was terrific explosion
and one Of the spectators, man named
Haley, had part Of his hand torn off, The
flames rushed on through the sewer, con.
suming the oil which had escaped from
the gas company's broken pipe. One ex-
plosion followed another, tearing up the
sidewalks square after square, and shat
tering window glass along the way.
Great excitement prevailed, women
shriekng and fainting from fright. The
fire engines could accomplish nothing
aud the oil continued to burn until Il
had emptied itself into the Kentucky
river. The gas works were rendered
inonerative and last night candles had Ia
be depended on for illumination.
