The former production is one of Mr..

AS Lenora in Credit Lorraine" Miss
Lewis is seen to great advantage. She
is allowed ample scope for exhibiting not
only her dramatic, but also her emotional
abilities, and never fails to win her au-

rendition of the part. Never before has
she had such an excellent support as
that of last night.

Young and fair to look upon, she prom

greater atrocities, and he urged the
adoption Of the Senate resolution as the
best that could be done under the cir
cumstances.
Hepburn wanted the protest to mean
something when it went abroad, and
not fall on dull ears What did England
care for such utterances? If we could
startle public opinion there, something
might come of it.
Morse (Rep.) of Massachusetts, in re-
ferring to the denials of the Armenian
outrages by the Sultan, desired to pay
his respects to that ruler by saying
that he did not believe there was man
in his district who would believe the
Sultan under oath.
McCreary Dem) of Kentucky raised
point of order against Hepburn's s
amendment.
Hepburn, speaking to the point of or
der, stated that his amendment was in
tended to emphasize the opinion of Con-
gress regarding the outrages being per-
petrated in Turkey. The resolutions
before the House, said Hepburn, were
absolutely meaningless, and according
to the gentleman from Kentucky it was
only the barest possibility that any
thing could be accomplished by them.
Adams Rep.) of Pennsylvania-In
case you send the Turkish Minister
home, who will take care Of the Amer
lean citizens in that country?
Hepburn-The gentleman is proceed

Gus statement Such an action is not a
declaration of war on the part of the
United States, whatever might be the
action of the nation deeming itself to
be offended.
Quigg, responding to Hepburn's re-
marks, said that handing the Turkish
Minister'S passports to him would not
hurt Turkey; the United States would
be the real sufferer. Turkey did not
care for the United States, but the mo-
ment the Turkish Minister leaves
Washington the American Minister and
nine United States Consuls in Turkey
and Asia Minor will leave CONSTANT
nople, and the lives of 900 American
citizens, together with all the property
OF the missionaries now held back from
injury and destruction by the presence
OF these representatives of the Govern
ment, will be exposed to all the dangers
of other unprotected residents and
property in that country.
Mr.. Hepburn's amendment was re-
jected-121 to 19-and the author could
secure but fourteen gentlemen. an in
sufficient number, to support his re-
quest for vote by yeas and nays.
Mr.. Turner (Dem.) Of Georgia made
an earnest and vigorous protest against
the adoption Of the resolutions before
the House. He said that they involved
a radical departure from the previous
constitutional policy of the Govern
ment This arose from what ne called
Christian clamor against Turkey, a
clamor against when the best of u.s.
he said, would scarcely be able to stand.
The action outlined in the resolutions
was an impertinence and violation of
the comfy that should exist between

This Time on the Narrow-G Gauge at
Sausalito-The Engineer Killed.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2S.-A third
railway accident, attended by a fatal
ity, occurred about 1870 o'clock this
(Tuesday) morning at the North Pacific
Coast Railway Companys wharf in
Sausalito. An engine and tender
plunged into the ferry-slip, and now lie
buried under the water. William Tur-
ney, the engineer, was crushed between
the engine and tender, carried under
the water and drowned. Fireman Will
Jams escaped alive, but was badly in
jured about the head.
The late ferry boat for Sausalito,
which leaves here shortly before mid
night, and usually carries several mar
row. gauge freight-laden cars, reached
the Sausalito slip without mishap. There
it was found that there were no fiat
cars empty to serve as a buffer between
the engine and the loaded cars on the
ferry boat. 1t was finally decided TO
back the engine down on board the
ferry, but in so doing the apron con-
meeting the ferry-boat and slip gave
way, and the engine and tender plunged
downward between the end of the ferry
boat and the wharf.
Fireman Williams leaped from the
tender and landed in the bay. He was
badly cut by the timbers he encoun-
tered in his jump, and was with diff
Guilty rescued from among the piles of
the slip. Engineer Turney went down
with his engine, and was either man

Encounter With the Pugilfst.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 27.-William
III. Murphy, the fireman who on Satur-
day night had an impromptu two-round
bout with James j. Corbett, to-day
made a report of the affair to Chief
Baxter of the Philadelphia Fire De-
partment. Tt now rests with the de-
partment whether further action will be
taken.
Many of Murphy's friends are press
ing him to sue the pugilist for damages,
but strong efforts are being made to
smooth the matter over, and unless the
ire department takes a decided stand,
it is not likely that Murphy will prose-
cute Corbett, either criminally or civilly.
Murphy is one of the smallest men in
the department. He is only 5 feet 6A
inches high, and weighs 137 pounds.
He is "A years old, and boasts of re-
markable strength in his hands and
arms. Before entering the fire depart
ment, about eight months ago, Murphy
was a plumber
Murphy's only marks of the encounter
are two bruises, one on each cheek,
where Corbett landed, and his ribs are
sore where the fighter kicked him.

One-half of the crew of the stranded

No attempt was made to-day to haul

extremely low tides, caused by the
westerly winds. The wind must be from

Mr.. Grosvenor (Rep) of Ohio said the

a shuddering, shivering, cowardice of

cised the Committee on Foreign Affairs

presented. The preamble should make
definite charge that somebody has

to justify the text OF the resolutions.
If there had been a single American
citizen injured in his person or de

PATTON Qa.), Jan. 27.-One of the
worst tragedies ever known in this part
of the county happened about 7 o'clock
last night on the farm of John J. Brown,
four miles east of here.
Browns family had accused John w
Fleck's family of stealing, and Sunday
evening F'leck and his son George
armed themselves with shotguns and
revolvers and started to Browns house
to settle the matter, as they told Mr.
Steighmeyer on their way over. Sleigh
meyer urged them to go home and set
tie by law, and the son wanted to go
back but the father would not hear of
it, and made his son go with him.
On arriving they called Brown out
and as he stepped to the door stuck a
shotgun in his face. But he was too
quick, and lodged so that the charge
grazed the side of his head On the
appearance of John Brown, Jr., young
Fleck shot him, the bullet lodging in
his lungs, the ball having passed
through the left lung and lodged in the
right one.
During the fight that followed ten
shots were fired. The Browns, with the
assistance of James, another son, got
the arms away from the Flecks. George
Fleck was shot in the back between
the shoulders, and John Fleck was
caught and dragged into the house and
tied with log chain until assistance
arrived John Brown, Jr., is in a crit.
