James Mccormick, passenger, jumped

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE fato Of the
Pacific railroad funding bill, which was
debated three days in the house last week,
will be decided Shis afternoon, when the
measure, with the pending amendments,
will come to a vote under the special order
under which the house is proceeding The
bill involves the settlement of the Sll2-
1000 Of indebtedness Of the Union Pa
cifc and Central Pacific on the basis Of an
extension of over eighty years at per
cent, with an annual extinguishment
payment on the principal at tho rate Of
$3.50, 900 for the first ten years, F5sOi 600 for
the second ten years and S5O,OOO for the
remaining years. 1t involves as the al
ternative OF its defeat the probable inn
mediate foreclosure Of the governments
lien and the sale OF the property.
1t is the elimination of the struggle
which has gone on in congress for a dozen
years to secure some sort Of an ADJUST
ment Of the Pacific railroad indebtedness
on the basis of an extension, as it has been
apparent for long period that the roads
would default when the bonds matured.
The interests at stake are gigantic, and
the friends of the bill are straining every
nerve. The opponents Of the measure are
also active, and the result is awaited with

One Causes Damage at stanton's Fish
Market.
Saturday afternoon blaze started in a
house on North White street occupied by a
family named Grifiths. Policeman Lee and
others hastened to the place and extinguished
the fire without calling upon the fire depart
ment. 1t appears that a stovepipe slipped
from its place as a new FIRE was started in y
stove with shavings and the woodwork and
wall paper at the chimney opening caught
FIRE. Very little damage was done.
Shortly after the regular 1880 test alarm
was sounded Saturday night an alarm was
sent in from box No. 10, at the corner of
Centre and Bowers streets. The FIRE was
located in Stanton's fish market, little
south Of Centre street and near the railroad
The fire department responded promptly and
performed effective service. The fire
originated from the explosion Of a lamp left
burning in the office of the market All the
contents Of the office we're destroyed, includ-
ing many personal effects OF Manager James
NJ Rittenhouse. r. c. Smith, Jr, was also
a heavy loser Both gentlemen kept their
clothing in the place. The stock Of fish was
in another department and was in no way
affected by the fire, so that business was
resumed at the market this morning without
inconvenience.
