Representative Campbell of New York,
has introduced bill providing that here

no sense in having Congress meet thirteen
months after an election when the issue on
which she election was held has probably
given way to some other more vital issue.

SUFFERING AMONG THE POOR
Will Be Caused by the Failure of Great
Irish Company.

Belfast, April 24.-The failure of the Bel
fast Warehouse company last week resulted
in the suspension OF the Discount Corpora
tion of Ireland. The liabilities of the corpo-
ration are not stated, but are heavy. AS
the depositors of the concern included thou
sands of partisans of the lower and middle
classes, it is assumed the failure will cause
great deal of suffering. Among the large
concerns involved in the failure are the
Bushmill Distillery company, the Brookfeld
Linen company and the firm of Jaffe
Brothers, which three houses have
petitioned for the liquidation of the affairs
of the Belfast Warehouse company.

GREAT SALE OF FLANNELS.

Large Quantity.

New York April "a. The first of the
series of the largest sa les of fannels and

today at the auction rooms OF Morris &
Mitchell, Ga and 66 White street. The
local trade was well represented. and
among the buyers and lookers.on were
jobbers from Philadelphia, Chicago, st.
Louis and other important centres. The
bidding was brisk. but prices did not
run as high as four years ago. The de-

accountable. About three-quarters of a
million dollars were realized by the
sale of white and twilled fiannels by or

SUING LAWYER BURBANK.
The Case Growing Ont of the VIII of Eliza
A. Rumery.

Boston, April 24-An interesting will case
is on trial before the Supreme Probate court
at East Cambridge. Mrs. Fannie E. Emery
of Everett, formerly of Biddeford, Me-, the
plaintiff. brings suit against Horace H.
Burbank, a lawyer of Biddeford, executor
of the will of Eliza A. Rumery of Everett,
late of Biddeford to recover $4,000 for
alleged breach of contract. Mrs. Emery
alleges that by verbal agreement Mrs.
Rumery promised to leave her all her
property which amounted to $15,000 mostly
personal. Mrs. Rumery was an aged widow
and died in Everett, October 13, 1891. Short
ly before she died she made a will leaving
all her holdings to the Advent church in
Biddeford To Mrs. Emery she left only a
Bible
Mrs. Emery became acquainted with Mrs.
Rumery in Biddeford, Me-, and they became
friendly. 1t was agreed that Mrs. .ssRumery
would leave all her property to Mrs. Emery,
if the latter would care for her during her
life. Lawyer Burbank was secured to draw
up the necessary papers and part of day
was spent and then the lawyer took all the
papers to his Office. When it came to
making out the final papers Mrs. Rumery
appeared worried, and for various reasons
the written agreement was torn from the
papers by the plaintiffs husband in order
to dispe1 further talk. Mrs. Rumery after
wards removed to Everett, Mass, and lived
with Mrs Emery in the house the former
had provided. In 1891 Lawyer Burbank came
to the house and drew up the will. While
the lawyer was out after witnesses Mrs.
Emery alleges that the deceased told her
that she would provide well for her. The
will was drawn but Mrs Emery says she did
not see it at the time. Contrary to plain
tiff's expectations the property, with the
exception of the Bible, was left the
Advent church of Biddeford. Mrs. Emery
claims to have found two letters in the
Bible. One which was addressed to Mr..
Burbank, said: "You must destroy my will
you made, I cannot sleep. I will give the
church the money that Hiram Cousins has
when he dies, and after my funeral ex-
penses are paid want you to give all the
rest to Mrs Emery and her family"
The second letter was addressed to Mrs.
Emery. Mrs. Rumery says: Il told you I
would make my will for you. did not. God
forgive me. Mr. Burbank told me not to.
He got you to sign paper to care for me
and now write this. I want you to tell
him curse him for what he has done, and
you must have my money, for what you
have done for me. He must destroy that
will. Tell him to DO So"
These circumstances constitute the basis
of the suit.
At the afternoon session, Mrs. Emery
testified that the night after Mrs. .Rumery's
andre and repeated Se ' to her the forty-third Psalm.
She related her dream to her husband,
and they got the Bible: Turning uI1ig to the 4Srd
eether between which was the letter before

IN FREDERICK STREETS.
By Barbara Freitchie's Home Marched
Coxey's Crusaders.


Frederick, . Md, April 24.-Coxey's
army today marched into Frederick in
the face of declaration by Mayor Flem-
ing three days ago that as an organiza-
tion they should never set foot within
the city limits. The army was escorted
to the city by 80 mounted deputy sher-
ifs. Coxey met the army near the site
of Barbara Freitchie's house, and was
given three cheers. The column was 300
strong on leaving the camp at Boones-
boro. They camped for the night with
nearly $40 men. For the first time in
weeks there is sickness in the line. One
patient is suffering from a malarial at
tack, and another from paralytic
stroke. The Commopweal marched
through the town with colors flying.

for them. The men were given sleep
ing quarters in the Salvation Army bar
racks, in the evening a meeting was
addressedby Browne and Coxey. Coxey

Mr.. Reed ON the Docking Law.

Washington, April 24.-Ex-speaker Reed,
privately, on the floor of the House, has
said on several occasions that he will not
give certificate as to the number of days
he is absent from the House at the behest
of the sergeant-at-arms. He says that
although the law which has been recently
revived by the report of the committee on
the judiciary, which was submitted to the
House by Mr.. Wolverton of Pennsylvania, is
still in force, requiring the Senators and
Representatives to surrender pay for the
days when they are absent, there is no law
authorizing the sergeant-at-arms to make
any such requirement as is now demanded
by the Democratic sergeant-at-arms, that
members of the House shall, at the close of
each month, certify upon their word of
honor that they have been present, or that
they have been absent, SO many days during
each preceding month.
Mr.. Reed denies the right of
the sergeant-at-arms to make any such de-
mand upon him, and says that if the
sergeant-at-arms refuses to pay him his
salary without such certificate he will do
without his salary until the duly consti-
tuted courts compel the sergeant-at-arms to
pay him for his services as a Representa-
tive of the First district of Maine, under
the constitution and laws of the United
States. He says it would be an unneces-
sary humiliation for any member of the
House to submit to the requirements of the
sergeant-at-arms, that he shall sign GER
titicate concerning the times when he was
present. or absent, tardy, or playing
hooky, like a school boy.
tt is understood that majority of the
,,,o,,,bars of the committee on the iudiciarv
have considered the old law, and are in
clined to recommend it's modification. At
present, as the law reads, no member can

THE POOR MANS SAVINGS.
Senator Sherman Wants Them Protecte'
Against the Income Tax.


Washington, April 24.-The finance COM
mittee of the Senate today entered upon a
desultory consideration of the tariff bill.
The income tax feature was taken up by Mr..
Sherman, who, it is said, pointed out the
danger in this tax which levied tribute
upon the building associations of the
country. He advised the Democratic mem
bers to protect these institutions by some
amendment better than they had inserted,
an amendment that would protect all share
holders and maintain bona fide building as
sociations, where working people deposited
their wages for future homes, free from the
gatherer of the income tax. 1t was admitted
that there might be danger as the bill was
now drawn. No agreement was reached, but
it was tacitly understood that when the
proper time came an amendment covering
the points made by Mr.. Sherman would be
introduced. This will probably result in
the substitution of the House provision in
this respect.
