Sixty-first Congress.
Washington, Aug. 2.
SENATE.

The tariff bill was received in the
Senate from the House at one minute
sitter Ten. Senator Aldrlch at once had
the conference report laid before the
Sensle and 1t was read.
What looked like an incipient fiji
buster developed when the clerk began
to read the report He read along in q
sing- song tone OF voice aud in a remark
ably short space of time got way over
into the back of the report. Senator
Hepburn remarked that be thought that
clerk had missed reading the maximum
and minimum provision.
Senator CLARK, cbimed in and said
that he had heard nothing about The
cotton schedule. Mr.. Hepburn said
With some show of temper that it was
not for the clerk to say what part OF the
bill should be read aud what should be
omitted. "The Senate will decide
that" said he, ~ think the clerk will
save trouble to read that bill properly"
at Is obvious to senators on this
side," remarked democratic Leader
Culberson, "that at least 20 pages were
skipped over at once moment ago
without reading"
Senator Frye who was 10 the chair
tried to excuse the clerk by stating that
the present clerk who was reading had
taken up the report where he thought
the other clerk who bad commenced the
reading had left it. Senator Hepburn
demanded the reading In fall, where
upon the clerk turned back TO the be-
ginning OF the iron schedule and from
thereon read the report.
The reading of the conference report
occupied until 1875, just three hours aud
twenty .fve minutes. Senator Daniel
then, On behalf OF the democratic men,
bers, took the Aoor and argued at con-
siderable length to the effect that the
conference report WAS not legally before
The Senate beosuse 1t had never been
considered by a popularity constituted
committee 10 view of the fact that the
democratic members bad been permitted
no share 10 its preparation.
Mr.. Daniel said that the exclusion OF
the democratic conferees was an apparent
and practical fraud prscticed on the two
houses Of Congress. There we're some
persons, he said, who would pay gam
bling debt but would not recognize
legal obligation or solemn promise.
he then roasted the republican members
of the conference com mitiee, particularly
Mr.. AIdricb, for having given a promise
tbst inst as Boon as the conference, report
was completed, the democrats would be
given a dsy 10 consider it before it was
reported 10 congress. This promise he
said had not been kept.

ment of Any Character.

JACKSON, Miss, April 15.-The
annual meeting of the Old Ladies
Home association of Mississippi was
convened at 10 o'clock this mornine
at the new building recently dedicated
and opened in the western suburbs OF
this city, with Mrs. A. H. Longino
presiding.
Delegates are in attendance from
a large number of local auXiliaries,
among them being some of Mississip-
PTS foremost women, and during the
convention plans will be discussed to
provide ways and means of supporting
the institution.
The Old Ladies' Home was built
with voluntary contributions raised by
the women of the state, and now con-
tains about fifteen inmates, it being
impossible to support a larger num-
Der with the sustenance fund. The
institution has no endowment of any
character. and must necessarily be
supported with the funds raised by the
local auxiliaries. 1t is hoped, however
to admit more aged and enfeebleo
women during the present year, and
the annual convention will frame its
plans with this end in view.
Luncheon was served to the dele
gates at the home this afternoon, and
the convention will not be brought t.
close until tomorrow afternoon.

Dies After Long Service
for the Town.

Following a long and complicated
illness, Benjamin Lee Williams, secre-
tary of the West Orange Board of
Health, registrar of vital statistics

Richards, president of the West Or
ange Board of Health, and DR.. H. B.
Harris, of Orange, had called to see
Mr.. Williams on health affairs involv-
ing the two municipalities when in
formed of his illness. They proffered
their services but Mr.. Williams was
beyond medical aid when they reached
him.
A private funeral service for MEM
bers of the family will be conducted to-
morrow plight at the house by the Rev,
Lewis H. L~ighthipe, of st. Marks

be taken on Thursday morning to New
ton, his birthplace. A service will be
conducted in Christ Episcopal Church,

Mr.. Williams has been prominently
identified with West Orange municipal

est settlers. His father was John {.

EDUCATION BOARD
EXPL0lES A BOMB
IN SCHOOL FIGHT
Secures a Court Order to Force
East Orange Council
to Action.

Just when the East Orange City
placed the Board OF Education in the
defensive in the High School contro-
yersey, papers were served on Acting
Chairman Horace A. Bonnell, citing the
council to show cause Saturday morn
ing next, at 10 O'Clock, before Justice
Gummere why a mandamus should not
be issued so hat the council might be
compelled to make a Sal, 900 bond issue
to buy the property desired by the
board on Arlington n
The boards action was the biggest
surprise that has happened since it de-
cided to build in Arlington avenue, and
was undoubtedly authorized at the con-
ference held early yesterday, and told
of in yesterdays STAR. Following the
hearing of remarks by citizens, pro
and con, the council passed a resolu-
ID. Gedney to appeal from the State
superintendent opinion to the State
Board of Education. Councilmen Lee
and Merrill alone voted in opposition.
The two bodies are now deadlocked
on the proposition and a bitter struggle
in the courts is anticipated, unless a
mandamus is granted by Justice Gum
mere. Colby, Whiting and Sommer are
acting for the board, and it is thought
Arthur d. Baldwin Is also advising the
members. 1t is believed citizens along
Arlington avenue will also employ legal
talent before the affair is settled.

Former Street Commissioners
Eckert Flatly COntradicts
Auditor SCOTS Report.

Declaring his intention Of instituting
legal proceedings to protect his good
name, former street commissioner
Frank g. Eckert. of West Orange, in
a statement issued today, replied 70
the scoring given him by Auditor f.
N. Scott, who declared IN the official
report Of an investigation of town
municipal bookkeeping for a quarter
century back. which was made public
a week ago, that the former official had
burned or buried his accounts. Mr..
Eckert gives Mr.. Scott the lie direct.
His statement is as follows:
"When / arrived home on Friday last
from a short stay in New York State
l was very much surprised to see in
the newspapers false re-
fleeing on my services, by F. M. Scott,
the auditor engaged by the town to
go over its accounts. On April 3 last I
received a letter from Mr.. Scott, de-
livered to me by one Of the West Or
ange policemen, asking for my books
and all the records in my possession
belonging TO the town of West Orange.
used by me when I was street commits
sioner. | wrote a letter informing Mr..
Scott that I had no books that belonged
to the town. Several days later. on
April 6. / received another letter, de-
livered TO me by the very same police
man. which also came from Mr.. Scott.
asking me to all at his office at once.
10 inform him of details of certain
items connected with the street depart
ment.
Il did call to see Mr.. Scott,
who started to ask me about
some outstanding bills due the town.
These bills were dated back as far as
1904 and 1905. I told Mr.. Scott what [
could about them. informing him tina
in four or five years the bills and items
had slipped from my memory. I was
in the office not more han ten minutes
n in that time l deny with all pos
sible emphasis that I said ! had burn
ed my books or buried them in the
ground as he is quoted as reporting to
the Council.
Il also deny saying to Mr.. Scot that
I kept no books for the street depart
ment. Each and all of the statements
he has made, intending to reflect on
me. are false, and l intend instituting
suit for damages against Mr.. Scott as
a result of them.
"Mr. Scot is also quoted as saying
the street department accounts were
very much muddled. I can say, and
am willing to swear. that I can ac-
count for every cent which was re-
ceived or spent by the street depart
ment during the nine years 1 served as
street commissioner and can nr0ve the
accuracy of my accounts by reference
to statements, bills rendered and other
information presented to the various
Town Councils during my term of
Office"

SUBSTITUTE FIRE HORSE
FURNISHES EXCITEMENT,

The home of Health Inspector Jo-
seph Clickenger, of 80 Fortieth street,
was the scene of a slight fire last
night. 1t originated in an overheated
range. The members of Hose Com
pany No. 4 from the hill section, who
were first on the scene extinguished
the fire with buckets of water. The
damage was about $25.
While truck No. 2 from the town
centre was on its way to the fire one
of the horses became lame and a quick
stop was made at Harry Meeker's
place in Springfield venue to secure a
substitute horse. While his animal
was being harnessed it became fright
ened by a passing trolley car and
bolted for the sidewalk, where a num-
Der of children and their elders were
gathered. Fireman Alexander Higgins
caught the horse by the bride and
halted it. He was struck by the horses
hoof on his right foo and had his
toe smashed.
