WASHINGTON, May For the third
time In short space of five weeks the
Senate met today only to hear the an

day IN Chicago. The other two Sena.

paying their last tribute of respect to
the memory Of Mrs. Morgan, wife of
the Alabama Senator, whose funeral
took place this morning; and in the
Chaplaln's opening prayer they were
reminded OF the death Of their associ-
ate from Michigan, whose desk and
chair, in the outer row Of Republican
seats, we're covered with black cloth.
An unusually large number of Senators
were present at the opening prayer.
The formal reading of yesterdays Jour

his wife, have quarreled ever since they
were married, three months ago. Many
q time after her jealous outbreaks he
has threatened 80 kill himself, and, the

Tho Militia

COLUMBIA, 5. g., May 3.--Oyer one
hundred military companies hsye been
organized in South Carolina since the
Darlington affair and it looks like there
will be no end to the organizations which
want to enter the service OF tho State
and which promise to be loyal to the
commandment. chief In times of trouble.
All tho companies which have applied
for admission have been mustered into
| service; at least the OH ;ers have been
commissioned. The laws of the State
| allow only one hundred military COM
panies which shall receive arms, ammu.
milton and aid from the State. This num-
bsr is the limit, but there is no limit to
the number OF reserve companies al.
lowed. Including the companies to be
dlmlssed from service because of their
failure to respond TO the coll of Cover
nor Tillman there will be vancancies
for about twenty-five OF the now
companies. A hard matter will
be to decide which of the hundred and
moro new companies shall have tho
hosor OF entering the regular service.
Some of them, those which were organ
lied Immediately after the Darlington
trouble, have already been supplied with
arms, ammunition and uniforms. OF
course the new companies which do not
get INTO the regular service will have to
Walt'uutll there are openings.
AS reserve force the companies will
have TO supply their own arms and uni
forms it they want them. There is 40
necessity, however, for them to do this.
All thet is necessary is for them to pre-
servs their organizations. Governor
Illlman said yesterday that he had not
had time to consider the reorganization Of
the military of the State. So soon as he
gets the time he will issue orders and be-
gin the reorganization, The Governor
dld not say positively yesterday that he
Intends to dismiss certain Columbia and
Charleston companies from service, but
the plain Inference from bis remarks was
that mono Of them will be allowed to re-
main In military ranks.
The Governor was asked If there was
any law to prevent The companies to be
dismissed from maintaining themselves
as independent military organizations
He said that he had not read the law on
the question, but did II Ut knew pnything

them. Every man, he said, has O con-

To Ouash the Writ.

The following reasons why the writ of
quo warranto against County Commits
; oner Charles +. Allen should be quashed,
were presented to court by II. B. BarthOl-
omew, Esq, on behalf of Hon. John w.
Ryon
First The suggestion is at the instance
of the District Attorney Of Schuylkill
county, and not as required by the praC-
tice in such cases by the Attorney General
OF the state.
Second. No preliminary rule was taken
in the case or notice of the writ given to
respondent.
Third. The suggestion is in many re
spects very informal and indefinite and
does not set forth times, persons and
places in which, nor the persons with
whom the offences charged were COM
mitted 20 as TO inform the respondent
what he is to meet or whom his accusers
are
Fourth The suggestion and writ are
not in conformity with the Act of As
sembly in such cases provided.
Fifth. The person swearing to the sug-
gestiOn in this case has no interest in the
Office of County Commissioner and no
injury to be redressed. The proceeding
was instituted by him purely from malice
and to crafty a spirit of personal re-
venge.
The court took the matter under advise,
ment.

named Gauthier, at st. Adams, WAS com
pletely buried, and the four unfortunate
people who occupied it were crushed be
