The Senate spent yesterday on the

The House adopted the conference
report on the Cuban resolutions by a

republicans and nine democrats voted
against the report. The river and har-
Dor bill passed carries in actual appro-
priations $40, $50, $50, and authorizes
contracts for thirty-two new projects,
with limit cost of $51, 721, 2lG. Only
forty minutes debate was allowed.
The debate was very spirited. When
the vote was finally taken the majority
in favor of it was so overwhelming that
It's opponents were unable to secure the
yeas and nays.
Before the House adjourned the New
Mexico bond bill was defeated. and the

ANNE HUTcH1NsoN's FATE.-It is
not generally known that the Hutchin-
son river is named on account of a
bloody tragedy which took place upon
its bank in front of the Foer property
in early days. One Anne Hutchinson,
firing of Puritanical ideas, left her
home in Connecticut, saying: "If I
can't look out of the window on Sun
day I'll go and live with the Indians"
and, suiting the action to the word, she
made her way TO the spot, where she
was received kindly by the Mohunk In
dams. One big brave, named Hooke,
took particular interest in Miss Hutch
inson, but because she would not be-
come his squaw he took an axe which
she brought all the way from Connecti-
cut and beat her brains out. Since
that event the stream has always been
known as the Hutchinson river.

turing in the United States for some

roughly in New York city some time

was mobbed last night by Hebrews in
Hoboken while on his way to Ger
mania Hall. Ernest Freido, Of Brook
Ign, editor of paper said to be pub
lished by Ahlwardt, was in the party
and had mis- jaw smashed by the
crowd. Ahlwardt and Freido were ar
rested and locked up, together with
several others. a number of detec-
tees from police headquarters appear
ed on the scene, having been summon
ed by tho proprietor of the hall, and
quickly dispersed the mob. Detective
Quinn picked up pistol, which be
says was in the hands of Ahlwardt dur
ing the scrimmage. Ahlwardt was not
injured beyond q few bruises. ALL
wardt was released on 500 bail. The
technical charges against the Jew
batter" are carrying concealed weapons
and disorderly conduct. He says he
will bring counter charges against his
accusers at to-day's hearing.

A REJECTED SUIToR's REVENGE
Miss Sallie Emma Owen, beautiful
and wealthy young lady of Talbotton,
Ca, was shot and instantly killed Sun
day night at nine o'clock in the parlor OF
]. 81. McCoy's residence, by DR.. w. l..
Ryder, prominent dentist. Hon. A.
P. Parsons, prominent candidate for
Congress, was standing beside Miss
Owen when the fatal shot was fired.
He was also shot at, but received only
a flesh wound. DIR. Ryder was lover
of Miss Owen, and it is presumed that
she refused to marry him, and that he
was frenzied with jealousy at the exist
ing friendship between Mr.. Parsons and
the young lady. Miss Owen was a
graduate of Wesleyan Female College:
belonged to one of the wealthsest and
most aristocratic families in Georgia,
and was social favorite wherever she
was known. Excitement is intense.
Ryder was captured by posse few
miles from town at eleven o'clock Sun
dav night. He had made an unsuccess-
full attempt at suicide by cutting his
throat.

SUPPOSED TO BE A HoAX.-Dr. James
Ray was rowing up Georgetown chan
mel in the Potomac Sunday when he
picked up bottle containing the fol-
lowing message: "The finder of this
paper will please notify my family that
/ am tired of life and have jumped from
the Long Bridge to-day, Sunday, March
5. All those that 1 have injured l ask
forgiveness, and now goodbye, goodbye,
in this world I am in death as in life"
After the word "life" there followed a
name which could not be deciphered.
1t might have been either Grace or Fred,
and below that was the number S14
Sixth street. No one is missing at No.
S14 Sixth street, Washington, and the
people who live there knew nothing Of
any such message. The police are in
clined to treat the affair as a joke.
The message was written in pencil on
the back of piece of paper which had
once served the purpose of tobacco
wrapper. The writing was that of an
illiterate person and had evidently
been done with great care for the first
sentence and then hurriedly scrubbed.
1t did not look as though it had been
month floating about in a bottle and
the paper was quite fresh.
