APPROPRIATION DAY.
Tie House Spends a Day on the Countr.
 Expense Account.

WASHINGTON, March 14-The house be gan the consideration of the bill making appropriations for the sundry civil eX penses of the government, and fair prog reSs was made. Only three amendments of any importance were adopted-One ap propriating $i3, 800 for lighting Hay Lake channel another of Slj4, ,G00 for the public building at Buffalo and another of S9O,00I for repairing the postoffice at New York The latter was fought by the appropriation committee.
 The only other amendment of impor tance was one made by Mr. Morse of Mas sachusetts to cut off the appropriation for the interstate commerce commission. The manner in which that portion of the ap prOpliatiOn for counsel fees (SlS4, ,OO0) was worded led to u rather spirited debate. in which Mir. Cannon of Illinois rather broad ly intimated that this appropriation had been pla, ed under the direction of the com mission instead of the department of jus tice. as heretofore, because of the criticism against Attorney General Olney from cer- tain quarters that he was in sympathy with corporations
 The Morse amendment precipitated a rather bitter attack from Mir. Wise of Nir- ginia, who had read an anonymous letter charging Mir. Morse with opposing the law from purely selfish reasons in the interest of the stove polish concern of which he is the proprietor.
 When the sense of the house was tested upon the Morse proposition, it was over whelmingly defeated but Mr. Haines of New York made the point of no quorum against it.
 Just before the adjournment Mir. Cum mings' resolution calling upon Secretary Herbert for information regarding the al legged violation of the armOr plate contracts by Carnegie, Phipps X Co., was passed.
 The proceedings in the senate were of an extremely uninteresting character. With out the intervention of any morning busi- ness, except the presentation of a few peti- tions and the introduction of some unim- portant bills. the senate took upthe discus sion of the segniurage bill Senators stewart and Lindsay spoke in favor and MT. Dolph spoke ill opposition to it, hold !ng that it's passage would destroy the eX- isting equality between gold and silver.
 The two new senatOrS-Mr. McLaurin of Mississippi and Mr. Blanchard of Louisi- ana-received their committee appoint ments The day closed with a lively bout between Senators Dolph and Harris over the question of printing extracts from books and newspapers in The Record, and on account of the absence of quorum the senate adjourned.

The gates at the New England cross ing at Bank street which have not been in good working order are being repaired to- day.
 A resident of South Wilson street wishes the DEMOCRAT to inform Street h. spector Kelley that the people on that street should be pleased to have him call there as soon possible.
 The funeral of Bridget Goggins, aged 5S, who died at the hospital yesterday, will take place from the residence of Peter Larkin, 91 South Leonard street, to St Patrick's church at S:30 o'clock to- morrow morning.
 The article in reference 10 Gordon B. Lawrence which appeared in the columns yesterday was not used until the rumor had been run down and found to be well substantiated. The story came indirectly from no less authority than member of MT Lawrence's own family. On further inquiry to-day the statement was fully confirmed

 --Yesterday morning a resident of Charles street called at the City hall and entered complaint against Joseph Gau- thier, property owner at the South end of the street. Street Inspector Kelley called to see what was~t the trouble and found matters much worse than had been repre- sented. The stream which always ran throueh the lots at the end of the street had been diverted from It's regular course and flowed in on the street. This has been so since last winter and the result is that the street from Third street as far where the running water enters Charles street Is impossible, the water having ploughed furrcws along the street several feet deep. The inspector called on the city attorney for information as to what course he should pursue and was instruct. ed to turn the water off the street at once. The whole street was accepted several years ago, but never has been graded be- low Third street and every effort on behalf of the residents to have something done with the street ended in failure. MT Kelley has force of men at work there to- day putting the place in shape so that teams may reach the residences of people living in the vicinity. He has also noti- fled the owner of the property, who turned the water into the street, that it must be allowed to run in it's regular course. The whole place looks as if it had been visited by severe freshet and the wonder is that the residents of the place had not called attention to the matter before this time.

MOBS RULE THE CITY.
Rioting by the Striking Silk Weavers I,
 Paterson. N. y.

PATTERSON, N. J.. March l4-The city of Paterson is practically in the hands of lawless mob A thousand strikers went from one to another of several of the silk ribbon factories aud dye works, broke down doors and fences and forced the work men to abandon their work and join them. Thousands of other strikers looked on, ready at a moments call 10 join their com rades and demolish whole buildings. In the evening the police charged large crowd of strikers and dispersed them.
 During the day the police seemed to be pOwerless. There are 10000 idle silk work CTS in Paterson and only G5 policemen. That there was no bloodshed or burning of buildings or repetition of the scenes at Homestead was due entirely to the control which the leaders had over the mob.

Circus Men NIanyled by A Tiger.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,.

They went into the cage to hang up sheep which had been killed for the beasts dinner, and with apparent ease the huge beast crushed the heavy iron bars separating one part of the cage from the other. and in an instant and before the other employees of the place could inter
 fere it had so badly lacerated Mckay's legs and torn Werner head and shoulders that physicians think both men will die.

The Pollard-Brecl<i Trial.

WASHINGTON, March 1+.-Brotherly love and almost deferential politeness made up the spirit which prevailed in the inter course of the attorneys in the Pollard Breckinridge case all day. Judge Bradley dismissed Mondays encounter of counsel with an expression of regret. Information had come to Judge Bradley that some of Colonel Breckinridge's counsel had come to court armed, and after he had called their attention to the local law against car rying concealed weapons there was an un- usual courtroom scene, each lawyer rising to formally purge his hip pockets. Apart from these accessories of the case the day was uneventful.

 During the discussion which preceded the vote Mir. Labouchere said his conten- tion that the premier ought to be mem Der of the house of commons was justified by the fact that they for the last two hours had been discussing Lord Rosebery's re, marks He agreed with Mr. Redmond that if home rule depended upon an English majority. why had they stumped the coun- try ill denunciatiOn of the house of lords?
 Labouchere's Amendment.
 Mir. Labouchere then moved an amend ment abOlishing the power enjoyed by per sons not elected to parliament to prevent bills from being submitted to her majesty. and he expressed the hope that, if neces- sary, her majesty, with the advice of the ministers, would use her power to secure the passage of this much needed reform He suggested that this object could early be achieved by creating 800 new peers who would vote for the extinction of the house of lords Laughter.
 Sir William Harcourt said he agreed with Mir. Gladstone that the present state of things could not continue. He, how ever, could not understand the process by which Mir. Labouchere reckoned to achieve his object.
 Mr. Labouchere interposed with the re mark that he had list of 800 stalwarts
