SATURDAYS CONGRESS.

An Appropriation Bill Considered in the
 Senate-Euiogies In the House on the
 Late Representative Houck.
 WASHINGTON, July 16.-Mr. Allen, the populist senator from Nebraska, appeared in his seat Saturday and took occasion to arise to a question of per sonal privilege. He denied the news paper reports that he was recently in toxicated.
 Consideration of the legislative, exec utive and judicial appropriation bill was resumed, but it was not passed, owing to the tendency of some senators to filibuster and the lack of quorum, and at 4:15 the senate adjourned.
 The house transacted no business Saturday before the hour arrived which had been set apart by special rule for eulogies in honor of the late Representative George ". Houck, of Ohio. Many speeches were delivered.

PRENDERGAST HANGED.
The Assassin of Mayor Harrison Dies Upon
 the ScaffOld.

the Scaffold.
 CHICAGO, July 14.-Within the gloomy walls of the Cook county jail Patrick Eugene Prendergast, the assassin of Mayor Carter H. Harrison, of this city, was hanged at HAS o'clock yesterday morning. His neck was broken by the fall and he was pronounced dead just nine minutes after the drop fell. It was expected that he would create a scene on the scaffold, but only a slight nervousness was exhibited while his arms and legs were being pinioned. His carefully prepared speech was not delivered, he being dissuaded by Sher- iff Gilbert not to attempt to do so. He refused until late last evening to re- ceive spiritual consolation, but when night fall came on he asked that Father Muldoon be admitted, and when the priest retired he at once went to sleep and rested we'll all night
 As the hour for the hanging drew nearer, Prendergast showed some signs of slightly increasing nervousness. But on the whole he was remarkably calm and well collected. Throughout the jail the officers and other attaches remarked about his behavior, for it was the general opinion that he would weaken badly good while before the hanging.

AN OPEN SWITCH.
An Indiana Passenger Train DItched and
 Fireman and Engineer Killed.

Fireman and Engineer Killed.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 14.-Train No. 7, on the St. Louis division of the Big Four road was running 45 miles an hour when at Fontania, it struck an open switch and went down an em- bankment about s feet high. En- gineer Charles Mohrman and Fireman Charles Fleick were buried under the wreck, ground to pieces. The engine, baggage car, express car and day coach were piled in the ditch a broken mass.
 The wreck is undoubtedly the work of a lawless mob of miners that pos sessed Fontana all yesterday and stopped and sidetracked five Big Four freight trains to show their sympathy for the railroad strikers. The trouble was so threatening that Sheriff Stout, of Vigo county, and several deputies went to Fontana yesterday afternoon. No passengers were seriously injured.

LEXINGTON, Ky, July l4.-At Boards, in Oldham county, yesterday, Con- gressman Breckinridge spoke to a large crowd. He arraigned Hon. w. c.

John. son had disgraced their districts and were returned to congress to do much good.

STATE OF TRADE.
Bradstreet's Weekly Report-The Business Paralysis That the Strike Has Caused.

Bradstreet's Weekly Report-The Business
 Paralysis That the Strike Has Caused.
 NEW YORK, July l4.-Bradstreet's state of trade says:
 During the greater portion of the week gen. eral wholesale business at Chicago, and at centers within the territory tributary, has been practically paralyZed by the railway strike. Larger eastern cities felt the effects of the tie-up in restricted receipts of live stock, meat and produce, while western manufact- urers and merchants suffered loss through in- ability to secure supplies and raw materials from the east The railroad strike and boy colt in part repeated the effects of the recent soft coal strike by shutting up a large number of important industries in the central west through want of fuel.
 But perhaps no more favorable time from the point of view of the merchant and manufact- urer than the midsummer of 1894, after the panic season of 1893, could have been chosen to precipitate so widespread q railroad tie-up- when business was already so generally and severely restric ted. A number of small strikes are reported, but there are 250)0 fewer idle men because of strikes on Friday this week than last.
 Iron steel, lumber, shoe, wool and cotton manufacturing industries at large eastern and western centers have practically no shipments and commercial travellers throughout the cen tral western states generally have been com pelled to leave the road.
 The worlds stock Of wheat has declined during the past fourteen weeks about 6,000,- 600 bushels more than In the same portion Of last year, which is significant in view of the insistence in the trade that invisible domestic supplies are most exhausted Exports of wheat, flour included, both coasts United States and Canada this week equal 2,377 900 bushels, compared with l,s50,000 bushels last week, 4,l34,0 900 bushels in the second week of July last year, 2,5s3,0J0 bushels in that week two years ago and ,OO0 bushels three years ago. There are 229 business failures in the United States reported this week, against l64 last week, and compared with S9s in the second week of July and with 166 in that week two years ago; 3I business failures in the Dominion of Canada, against 39 last week, 26 in the week year ago and 24 in the week two years ago.
 Aside from influences already referred to the feature of the week at Boston, as at other east ern centers has been higher prices for grain and provisions, although more ease is now re- ported.
 Buffalo reports increased live stock ship ments from Indiana which would have gone to Chicago, and Baltimore smaller trade from the west and fewer orders than expected from the south. fair volume of business in shoes is reported from Philadelphia. and practically no noteworthy movement at Pittsburgh.
 All western centers report railway trans portation restored, but it will be some time be- fore anything like complete restoration of con- ditions before the strike can be attained

Either Would Suit the Young Lady Who Studied Geometry.
 A few weeks ago one of the dealers at the Fulton market engaged young woman to fill the position of bookkeep- CT. Before long he noticed that when ever a customer went up to the desk to pay, she was found to be deeply ab- sorbed in a book.
 She's reading a novel," thought the dealer. But day after day went by, and the book appeared to hold her at. tention as absorbingly as ever. The. young woman's habit of reading an-- noyed customers, who did not like to be kept waiting for their change. So, the dealer decided to speak to her about it.
 See here, Miss Blank" he began, q don't like to have you read novels dur ing business hours"
 The young woman looked up in as-- tonishment.
 ''I am not reading novel," she re- piled. ''I never do read them"
 Then what is that book you keep your eyes on all the timeY'
 Why, it's Euclid"
 And who wrote it?"
 Then the young woman in streak. of great compassion, explained that she, was studying geometry.
 And do you keep that sort of thing up all the time?" her employer de- manded.
 Certainly, sir.''
 Miss Blank, don't believe young lady of your tastes will suit me for a, bookkeeper. Heaven, or Boston, is your home. ."-N Y. Journal.

TIE New York World says that let ters have been received from all parts of the United States for information about the little gray toad that was dug up under seventeen feet of hard pan on the premises of Henry Tender son, in the southern part of Tacoma. Trees which were saplings about the time Columbus landed were growing in the four feet of soil on the top of the hardpan until Henderson felled them three years ago. This fact leads many to the conviction that the toad must have esconced himself in the hardpan formation a few dozen centuries before that epoch.
