yesterday and none was taken on the Pa
cific cable.
The four matters in discussion were not
party questions On each of them both
sides of the chamber were divided. though
all four were not supported by the same
men. Quite a large percentage OF the
members voted according to their ideas as
to the merits of the various questions
rather than according to the strict inter-
probation of the rules. but there was al
ways a majority to sustain the Chairs in
depreciation of the latter.
Friday the fight was on Representative
Mudds point of order against the Naval
Committees attempt to repeal in an ap-
preparation bill the law authorizing new
buildings at Annapolis. Chairman Bou-
telle. of the committee, who had upheld
the point of order on three previous occa-
sons, yesterday veered around and op-
posed an exactly similar point. thus giving
strength to the recent assertions by Rep
resentatives Grosvenor and Hepburn that
the rules were all right as long as man
agreed with them but were brushed aside
whenever they got in anyone's way.
However, the Chairman of the Commit
tee of the Whole CNr. Shermam sustained
the point, whereupon Mr.. Boutelle said
that he should Introduce bill directly re-
pealing the law by regular methods.
MIR. Mudd offered an amendment appro-
priating 81, 600 to carry out the law by
erecting the buildings, s150000 OF this to
be Immediately available.
Without voting upon the amendment the
committee rose at 2 o'clock, and the re-
mainder of the day was devoted TO paying
tribute the memory of the late Representa-
tive Northway.

CLEARING THE STREETS.
Sunday VIII Not Stop the Snow
SkoveIing Brigade.

The srow shoveling brigade will know no
rest today provided they are favored with
weather conditions that will permit them
TO resume the work of removing slush from
the streets.
Two thousand laborers were employed
yesterday and an equal number will work
Today, Notwithstanding the fact that it is
Sunday. In view of the miserable condi-
tion of the streets. which are being COM
plained Of on every side, it was deemed
inadyisable TO discontinue the work even
Today.
The work yesterday was confined chiefly
TO opening cutters in East Washington
and on Capitol Hill, although men were
at work in other parts of the city. The
first desire of the Superintendent has been
10 open cutters so as to carry off the water
resulting from melting snow and rain. For
this reason little snow has been hauled
from the highways.
II is expected much more work can be
accomplished today than on q week day,
as there will not be as much street traffic
During the week men in the streets have
been delayed by moving teams.

Dead Near the Tracks.

Charles Potter and Harry Clark, youth
full residents of Langdon, ID. c.. while walk
ing along the Baltimore and Ohio track be-
tween winthrop Heights and Ivy City at
about 30 O'Clock this morning found the
body of an unknown white man lying
about three feet from the track. The face
of the man was covered with blood and a
cursory examination of the body by the
boys convinced them that life was extinct.
The man had evidently been struck by a
railroad train. The youths FASTENED to
the Boys Reform School and there in
formed the clerk of their discovery. He
telephoned the information to the police
of the Ninth precinct.
No patrol wagon with several officers
left the city at about > o'clock to get
the body and bring it here. AS the roads
are in a very bad condition because of the
recent SHOWS and rain, the police expert
enCcd great difficulty in getting out TO the
scene Of the accident. They had not re-
turned with the body at an early hour this
morning. Enquiry at the b. & o. depot
failed to develop that any report OF 4 man
having been struck by train had been
made there. and it was impossible to learn
any of the particulars from the police. No
definite information could be obtained.

A DOUBLE MURDER.
\ Farmer Cuts the ThrOats of His
Wife and StepdauEhtcr.

Amesbury, Mass Feb. 1S.-News was
received here early this morning of a mur
der committed in the town of Appleton.
Me. small place in Knox county, about
three miles east of Washington, some time
last night. Mrs. Albert Heysler wife of
a well-known farmer of that section, and
Miss Tinkham, l6 years old, daughter
OF Mrs. Heysler, were murdered at their
home. A warrant has been taken out
charging Albert Heysler with the crime.
After cutting the throats of his wife and
the girl with razor he attempted to end
his own existence in similar manner. but
his wound is not fatal. The crime was not
known by the public until just after day
light this morning. Heysler sent his 10
year-old daughter to the house of one ot
his neighbors with a message, stating that
there had been trouble at his home and
asking some one to go TO the house. Sew
eral of the neighbors questioned the little
girl closely and learned that Mrs. Heysler
and daughter had been assaulted.
On reaching the house the neighbors
found in one room Heysler with his throat
gashed and covered with blood, which he
had evidently attempted to wash off,
though his condition was so weak that he
was hardly able to move. Mrs. Heysler
was discovered lying dead in bed with her
throat cut. On the floor near the bed lay
the body of Miss Tinkham. The bed cloth
ing and floor were covered with blood and
there was evidence of a struggle by the
girl. Those who first saw Heysler think
that after failing to kill himself by cutting
his throat he attempted to finish the work
by taking poison, thought TO be paris
green. The exact cause OF the tragedy is
not known here, but it is understood that
the domestic relations at the farmhouse
were not of the most peaceful nature. The
generally accepted theory is that Heysler
became temporarily insane as the result of
domestic troubles. When the bodies were
found they were quite cold and it is thought
the tragedy occurred about midnight.
Heysler has one child, daughter of u
wears. who escaped.

ADVANCING COAL PRICES.
Some Dealers Taking Advantage of
the Storm Conditions.

AS a result of the recent snowstorm it is
stated that the coal dealers of this city
have sent the price of coal skyward. Not
only has the price been raised to about
double that for which it could be bought
before the storm, but it is said that some
of the dealers refuse 10 sell more than
very small quantity-a few bushels-at one
time to any person who may want coal.
The price by the bushel is varied by the
different dealers. Some, it is said, charge
10 cents and others as high as 30 cents per
bushel for coal, which is equal to about
s14 per ton. In justice to others of the
coal dealers it is only right to state that
the only increase in the price is the extra
charge for delivering the fuel to their Gus
toners
