In halo of pale yellow light stood Lady
Awdry Carstairs. The soft brown hair of her

SESSION OF THE SENATE.
Sherman Talks on the Reorganization
of the Executive Departments.

Sherman Talks on the Reorganization
of the Executive Departments.
Washington, July 1.-the plan slowly
and laboriously evolved by a Joint COM
mittee of the two houses for reorganiza-
tion of the executive departments Of the
government, and which was incorporated
in the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill, was the only portion of
that measure which provoked any debate
to-day. A motion TO strike out these pro-
visions was made by MIR. Sherman, and
advocated in speech in which
the proposed change was described
as an entire revolution of the fnan-
cial system of the government. Mr..
Sherman's familiarity with the routine
of the business in the treasury might
have been supposed to give great weight
and authority to his judgment; but his
opposition to the change had really no
effect at all, for there were only four
votes, including his own, given to the mo-
tion to strike out the paragraphs, while
there were forty votes against it. The
bill went through the committee Of the
whole into the Senate, but there were so
many amendments on rather trifling mat
ters offered by individual senator's that
the bill did not reach its final passage.
ALLEN GOES FOR A CORRESPONDENT.
A newspaper statement recently made
representing the populist senator from
Nebraska (Mr. Allen as making an un-
seemly exhibition of himself in the
Maltby building, where many senators
have rooms for the convenience of them
selves and their clerks, was denounced by
Mr.. Allen TODAY as absolutely false and
without a shadow of foundation. 1t had
been given currency to, he said,
by IAN assassin Of character, a
human ghoul; one who, like the
stranger of India, crouched In
the grass by the pathway, threw
the deadly rope. around his victims neck
and choked out his life"
But while he heaped all these and other
epithets on the head of the offending
newspaper man, Mr.. Allen asserted, with
an attempt Of Christian forbearance and
charity which almost passed belief, that
he would not speak unkindly of the
man" and that he entertained for him
no unKind feeling whatever"
The Senate adjourned at 4:15 o'clock,
after the point of no quorum had been
raised TO an amendment TO the legis-
Iatiye appropriation bill,

Washington, July 18.-Speaker Pro-
TEN. Richardson, in a letter to Clerk
Kerr, named Representative Dockery,
dem, of Missouri, to perform the duties
Of the chair in the House to-day.
The hot weather, or some other irri-
tatlug cause, developed an unusun
amount Of objection in the House TO /
day, and half Of a dozen efforts to obtain
unanimous consent for the consideration
of private bills in the morning hour only
one was successful. Mr.. Henderson, rep,
of Iowa, was fortunate enough to got
bill through for the contract of bridge
across the Mississippi river at Dubuque,
for the Dubuque and Wisconsin Bridge
Company.
An hour was then spent in fruitless
discussion Of the bill reported by the COM
mittee on interstate and foreign COM
merce TO promote the efficiency of the
revenue cutter service by providing a sys-
tenn of retirement for the officers. Mr.
Clark Of Missouri made another speech
against 1t, and when the vote on report
ing it favorably to the House showed a
majority of IL in its favor, he made the
point Of no quorum, which had the effect
Of preventing action on 1t to-day.
The rest Of the session was occupied in
the delivery of eulogies upon the late Rep
resentative George w. Houk of the Third
Ohio district, who died on Feb. 9. Trib-
utes of respect to his memory were paid
by Messrs. Sorg, Curtis OF New York,

FIXING TO MOVE FREIGHT.
Chicago's Roads Now GeCtinR Ready
to Resume Business.

Chicago, July 14.-Railroad officials de-
voted their attention almost exclusively
to-day to getting their traffic depart
ments back into the old lines of doing
business. The Rock Island, which had
dispensed with the entire forces in its
general offices during the strike, notitie d
its men to-day to report for duty Monday
The Milwaukee and St. Paul, which
led the way in the general suspension of
its business, will put all its men back to
work on Tuesday. All the other roads
will resume their usual routine after
Monday
This was pay day on the Rock Island,
and the office of the paymaster on the
third floor of the Van Buren street build
ING was besieged by an eager crowd.
The Chicago and Northwestern also
paid off its men. It's pay car stood in the
ward lust west of the Wells street depot.
A company of regulars was posted close
by, so that had any attempt been made
to raid the car 1t could easily have been
frustrated.
The managers have laid down for them
selves a policy of the strictest possible
economy, so as to Offset to the greatest
extent possible the losses of the strike.
They expect that several weeks will
elapse before traffic will resume its usual
volume. ne WOTh u assigning VIC hICA
to the positions they left will, for many
of them, be very slow process.
Pr-LLMAN's STRIKERS TO STAND FIRM.
The strikers at Pullman will stand
firm. Notwithstanding the position of the
American Railway Union and General
Managers Association, and they announce
that thev expect to win despite the appa
rent defeat of the present, believing the
nublic is still with them in their Tight
against the Pullman Palace Car Com
pany.
sam Meyers, secretary of the Pullman
grievance committee, said to-day: I'VE
are not disconnected in the least, although
we had expected TO win our fight with
the assistance Of the railroad men in the
country in tying up the roads. However,
our men have every confidence in Presi-
dent Debs and the American Railway
Union. and we believe we will yet WIN the
strilxe and we feel that our cause has not
heen injured in the least. The situation
will now probably stand as 1t did before
the railroad men came TO our assistance"
The transportation department OF the
stock wards resumed business this morn
inc with a full force Of men. Thirty
seven non-union switchmen marched into
the Yards at o'clock and the work OF
clearing the tracks was begun in earnest
The work is being done under the pro-
lection Of 100 policemen and military

SHOT DEAD AT A PICNIC.
The Murderer Rescued by Friends
After His Arrest.

A Falling Out Over a Cow Trade the
Cause of the Killing-The Murder
Undoubtedly Premeditated-A Posse
Sent in Pursuit of the Red-handed
Fugitive.
Americus, Ga, July IA. A dreadful
tragedy occurred in this county to-day at
picnic at Hudson's mill, eleven miles
east Of Americus.
J. G. Cary, Jr., was shot and killed by
John Methvin. Both are prominent young
men of the county. The information re-
ceived here goes to prove the killing not
only without justification, but premedi-
tated. After shooting his victim twice in
the head and back, Methvin jumped over
Cary's fallen body and attempted
to escape Deputy Sheriff Macarthur,
who was present, caught him
and succeeded for time in
holding him and warding off Methvin's
effort to shoot him. For many minutes
the situation was perilous in the extreme.
Jesse Chambllss, George Doster, Sam
Clements, Mr.. Wardlaw and other good
citizens came to the assistance of Sheriff
Macarthur, both to prevent him from
being killed and TO hold his prisoner; but
at least dozen of Methvin's friends with
knives and pistols overpowered with
threats and force the sheriff and his
party, and got Methvin away. He es-
capped into the woods. Three Wingate
brothers, cousins of Methvin, and Joe
Roach were the leaders Of the desperate
posse who aided the murderer to escape.
Judge Fish has ordered the sheriff with
an ample force to the scene Of the trouble
tonight to use all lawful means TO arrest
all the guilty parties.
Remarks made by several Of Methvin's
friends before the killing and heard by
several persons prove the killing premedi-
tated. The only cause for the killing vet
developed is that the two young men some
days ago had some words about q COW
trade and that Methvin, two days ago,
told Cary he would settle the matter
with him II he went to the picnic to-day.

PEACE IN THE STOCK YARDS.
Many of the Railroad and Packing

Many of the Railroad and Packing
House Strikers Resume Work.
Chicago, July 14.-Many of the striking
employees at the stock yards reported for
work to-day. Thirty switchmen,
thirteen engineers and more unskilled
laborers were given work. Five engineers
were put into service and handled all the
cars received from outside roads.
The packing houses received 5000 cat
tie, 20, 600 hogs and Is, 900 sheep. Armour
Swift and Morris killed during the day
and meat trains were sent out.
Not much killing is done in packing
town on Saturdays and the packers claim
to have all the men they need to handle
the business.
The first break in the military on guard
in the stock yards district was made this
afternoon when the Chicago Hussars,
under Capt. Brand and Lieut.. Thomas
Quincy, were relieved of duty and went
home.
Several butchers who have taken the
places of strikers were assaulted this
morning while on their way to work, but
none of them was seriously hurt. Be-
yond this there is very little change in
the situation at the yards and things
generally are decidedly quiet.

Conductors of the Pennsylvania Road
Denounoe the Strike.


Philadelphia, Pa, July 14-The loyalty
of the Pennsylvania railroad employees to
the company during the recent strike
troubles was demonstrated last evening
in decisive action by one of the organized
bodies. This action was explained in the
following communication, received to-day
by General Manager Provost;
Philadelphia. July, II, 1894 S. NJ. Provost.
General Manager Pennsylvania Railroad.
Dear Sir: At regular meeting of the West
Philadelphia Division, No 16, Order Of Rail
way Conductors, last evening, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, We, as members Of the Order of
Railway Conductors in Philadelphia and
vicinity, both passenger and freight do con
slider the railway situation at Chicago and
other western points as a serious and deplor-
able condition of affairs entirely pncalled
for; therefore,
Resolved That we, as law abiding citizens
and faithful employees, do condemn the action
OF those who took part In the wanton and in
discriminate destruction of life and property,
causing a needless stagnation of commerce.
to the detriment of the interests of their en-
plOyers and the citizens of the United States.
That at no time or place in this vicinity has
any feeling other than loyalty to our employ
ers been manifested, and that we have no
afflliation, directly or indirectly, with the or
ganlzation known as the American Railway
Union.
That copy OF these resolutions be pre-
sented to the general manager of this Penn
sylvania railroad for his information.
