Pugh finished his speech at $3.50, hav.
ing spoken for exactly two hours aud a
half. Teller resumed the floor and his
to be continued" speech was continued
until nearly o'clock. While he was
making an argument to show that the
proceedings in the New York stock ex-
change had much to do with the good
or the bad times, Teller made a long
pause which Voorhees, rightly inter
Preted as signal that he wished to
stop and so Voorhees, proposed session
for executive business.
Before giving way for that motion,
however, Teller said that he would not
have an opportunity OF going on to- M or.
row, that two other Senators had given
notice OF an intention to address the
Senate and that he had reached a point
where he could quit for tt Q present. He
would take up another Pc n in the case
some other day.
The Senate at sos after short ex-
ecutive session adjourned until to. NOR

There were less than 100 members
present when the House was called to
ordor at noon to-day. In his prayer
the chaplain prayed for the child which

joint resolution appropriation OF $780,
600 was asked for to enable the Secre-
tary of War to purchase rations and
medicines and distribute them among
the sufferers from the August cyclones
along the South Atlantic coast. Kill
gore objected, and the Joint resolution
was referred to the committee on ap-
preparations.
Richardson, from the committee on
printing, reported back the resolu ton
providing that all documents and books
ordered by tho Fifty second Congress
and remaining undistributed at this
time shall be distributed among the
mem bers of the Fifty-third Congress
Richardson said that unless the resolu.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l1.-Anether dis.
patch from the United States Minister
to Brazil Thompson was received at
the State Department to day, but it con-
tanned nothing not known to the de.
partment except that commerce and
business WAS suspended as result of
the declaration of martial law.
This afternoon the Navy Department
directed the commander OF the Detroi t
to sail from Norfolk for Rio on Thurs.
day, and it is not unlikely that the

With regard to other ships to sail to
South America and Central America, no
decision has boon reached. but orders
will probably be issued tomorrow as
signing some ships to the east coast OF
Nicaragua on account OF the rumors of
impending internal trouble there. The
Kearsage, now a. Wilmington, N. c., is
the vessel most available for the SER
vice and she will probably be sent.

I'm the Sad Shooting Accident.


in the Sad Shooting Accident.
Robert G. Powell, the unfortunate
youth who was fatally shot Saturday
at the Roanoke Wood Novelty
Works by N. G. Arthur, died at the HON 9
of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. H..
Powell, at 1907 Seventh avenue s. e.,
Sunday morning. His remains were
buried at ii o'clock yesterday at the
city cemetery in the presence of large
number of sympathizing friends and
acquaintances of the family.
Young Arthur, who accidently fred the
fatal shot, was examined before Police
Justice Turner Sunday afternoon at 5
O'Clock, when it was clearly shown that
the affair was purely accidental, aud he
was liberated. The testimony as
brought out at the examination was as
follows:
Arthur, who is Waterman of the
Novelty Works, was instructed Saturday
by Mr.. Nicholson, the manager, to go to
the plant and put some swings together
for shipment On his way he, remem.
bering that the shop needed cleaning up,
employed John Price, colored, to sweep
out the building On entering the shop
he saw young Powell playing ball near
by and called him over, saying that he
wanted him to work.
After the work had been completed
and the negro was sweeping off the steps,
Arthur was sitting at the desk writing
and noticed the gun in the corner near
by. He arose and was examining it,
holding the muzzle high up when Powell,
who had been standing around in the
Office talking for some time, grabbed
hold OF the muzzle of the gun and pulled
it down. The hammer by some means
caught either on Arthur's hand or coat
sleeve and went off with the result
stated.
