gard to It.

Jhort of a quorum. and Mr.. Harris CTenn.).
In charge of the tariff bill, was about to
sake steps to compel the attendance Of alb
sentees when Mr.. Higgins pushed his way
through the swinging doors of the republi-
can cloak room. His presence completed the
quorum and Mr.H Harris withdrew the motion
he had made to direct the sergeant-at-arms
to request the attendance Of absent sena-
tors.
Some routine business Of an unimportant
character was transacted
The Contract Labor Law.
A resolution presented by Mr.. Allen CNeb.)
was passed. directing the Secretary of the
Treasury to inform the Senate to what ex-
tent the contract labor law had been vio-
lated since March, 1889. to what extent vio-
lations had been prosecuted and the number
of convictions found.
The House amendment to the Senate BILL
making an appropriation of $500 for ad-
ditional clerk hire in the Congressional La
brary, was concurred in, after which Mr..
Quay then came forward with the Monon-
gahela bridge bill, which he announced last
Monday he would press until passed. There
was no opposition to it today and 1t was
passed.

struct a high bridge across the Mononga-

To Suppress Lottery Tramc.
Mr.. Hoar CMass.) called up his bill for the
suppression Of lottery traffic through ra-
tional and interstate commerce and the
postal service. subject to the Jurisdiction Of
the United States.
Mr.. Vest Clo.) objected to certain clauses
Of the bill While he favored the suppress
sion Of lottery drawings. he said this bill
would make 1t a criminal offense in the
District Of Columbia and all other United
charitable entertainment given by a churcn.
Mr.. Hoar was not disposed to view this
criticism as well founded He had not
been able, he said. to contrive q piece of
legislation that would hit a gambler and
steer around a church deacon.
Mr.. Vest, however, insisted that in all
the states having lottery laws rafting
and drawings at religious or charitable
entertainments were exempted by express
provisions These amusements ON such oc-
easions were entirely harmless.
Mr.. Gray Del) asked. with q touch of
sarcasm In his tone, whether 1t would be in

westminster Church Funds Spent by
Treasurer y. n. Denton.
Church circles are quite worked up
over an affair that has just come to light,
involving the honesty of n. n. Denton,
Treasurer of the Westminster Presby-
terian congregation.
1t seems that for some weeks past Pas
tor Stevenson had not been able to OBJ
tain from Denton any money on his sal
ary account and the members of the choir
and the Janitor were all in the same box.
1t was known TO the Trustees that there
should be several hundred dollars in the
treasury, and they supposed it was in
one OF the banks, but no one could quite
understand why Denton should have left
so many bills unpaid.
BENG pressed TO explain, he admitted
that lie was S139 short III his accounts.
prominent members OF the congrega-
uon express surprise that Denton should
nave used the church's money, but il is
not thought any enc will bring charges
against him, as he has been out OF en-
ployment Tor some time and has family.
de has, however, been dropped from the
roll OF membership of the church.
Denton was tor many years an account
ant and collector for McCreary Il Co.. the
tront-street millers, and was always
exact and square in his dealings between
his employers and their customers. In
the present Instance he made the fatal
mistake that has drawn so many others
into trouble-allowed his own wants to
lead him 10 using money of which he
was the custodian for others, hoping, no
DOUBT, 10 be able TO make it good before
he should be discovered.

sion history of the civil war, which, for
detail and correctness, has never been
excelled. The illustrations (and there
are many of them) are wood cuts by the

escaped by cutting a hole through the
ceiling. He was charged with injuring a
public Jail, and was to have been tried
Tor the offense.
Frosts attorney, j. o. Prewett, con-
tended that the joint commitment to the

was improperly restrained of his liberty,
he had right to escape.

matter and ordered Frost's release,
