That I» What Bn«ln.is> Men and Enter-

prlneH are Doing The*e Day®. R. G. Dun & Ox’s Review: Wh le uncertainty | rovails. men have not known what to do with safety and so have done as little as they could. Industries cannot always wait, and in them an arrest of improvement generally means reaction. Merchan s who nave obligations to meet cannot always wait, and for some there has come misfortune. Specu'alors and traders wait beca. se they have no substantial basis for julgment. Tho volume of business transacted increases somewhat, because the longer i eople go without clothing or food or other necessaries, the more certain their demand is to revive. Government crop reports have not helped speculation because they are not in harmony with prevailing judgments. The failures for the past week number 394 in the United States, against 18H last year, and forty-two in Canada against twenty-eight last year. Eighteen fa lures "were in magnitude exceeding SIOO,OOO and eighty-four were over is,ooo each, but less than SIOO.004. The aggregate liabilities in failures the first week in October were only $3,49',393, tho gh the number was large. This week the liabilities have apparently been increased. Ran Down a Ferry Boat.

Mr. A-tor ; and a large party of prom'nent society people of this city and elsewhere lined the decks of this pala ial yacht and crowded her cabins. Both decks of the ferry boat were Hack with passengers. Intense excitement followed the crash. That the collision was impending was apparent a moment or two be ore the two boats came together, and the swarm of passengers on the big doubledecker made a wild rush for the stern. Women screamed and were swept off their feet by the stampede of the thoroughly .frightened passengers. Several persons whose names could i not be learned were injured in the crush. The Nourmahal was uninjured, i except that her bowsprit was snapped short off. The ferry boat was badly damaged. Fire at Waynetown, Ind.

The fire originate 1 in the hardware store of Ha rd mam & Co., and spread rapidly in spi e of the bucket brigade's euort to subdue it. Crawfordsville was < ailed on for assistance, but could not respond before the fire had burned itself out. Four men at work on a roof were blown fifteen feet Into the air. One alighted on the groundand wasdangorously injured. 1 o.ir tramps suspected , of lighting the fire were arrested, but were later released for lack of evidence.

JOY FOR SILVER MEN. SENATE FINALLY TIRES OUT AND ADJOURNS. After Bring In Con'lnnotu Sraelon or Fortv. three Hour* a Quorum Cannot Bo Found and at 1:43 Friday Morning Voorheet End* the Tort. Bed for Repealer*. Washington correspondence: The Senate slept with iti bocte cn Wednetday night, lhe much advertised emtest if phytical endurance had begun, and the owlish Senators sc emeu determined to sit it cut. All long there wei c evldi ncee of preparation for the fight. Few Senators were in the chamber, but a glanio into the cloak rot ms and a peep into the committee rooms show ed many < f them s eeping on tie ecucheo and sefat, bu - Lanaing their tt: oi gth for a si< ge wnich they appreciated would test most severely eve y energy which they could mn: tsr. h orc-os < nooth sides of the battle wore divided so as to be able t.> give each other reliei by taking up the defense of tt eir petition intuin. The great number of employee of t e Sena.e were likewise separated int> relays, in anticipation of continuous work. The first round of the strugg’e, at 8 o’click in the evoking, was marked by a challenge from Mr. Dutx is and by a notable sj eech from Mr. Voorhees, in which he do ended his management of the repeal bill ui.d declared a question greater than i liver or gold had now

appeared - the qresti n whether the majority o the m nurity was t > rule in this Country. Mr. Butler, if South Carolina, made a vehement at pea) to Mr. Voorhees to threw himself in the breach," and by returelng to his early love, free silver, p_t an end to tho contest. Tho benate settled down to an ad-night siege. As the evening were on It became apparent no one in tbs chamber had any idea the tert of enduramo wou d result in anything hut failure, fl he maneuvering appeared to ba eclely with putting b aire upon the oti e>* side. The Repub icans, though taking c edit to themselves for having oj’ereu c cture ard a legal, cider'y way out of tho difficulty, were still lca:.h to leave the chamber and thus lay thcmrelves open to the charge of l aving bn ken the quorum. Tue Dem- crabs, repealers and anti repealers alike were actuated by the same desire. They stuck to their seats or to t o cloak-rooms near by, determined that the quorum should be breken. if at all, by the disappeared e of Republicans. It was a case In which twodccto.s appeared to be sitt'ng up with a dying patient, each dele mined to be in at the death and to onarge responsibility therefor upon the other fellow. The Sen. te Adjourn*. All night Wedne day n'ght, all day Thursday and uttil nearly 2 o’clock Fr day moruing tho stars and stripes fl at d from the flag» taff at the t pcf the tig dome of tie Capitol, indicating that the “dignified branch" cf Congress was still in teas ion. At 1:45 o'clock Friday morning, as era continu us session of foity-thr e hcurs, tue Senate adjourned, cn moti n cf Senator Voorhees. The end had been foreseen fcr three hours,* as one Sena.orsfteranct er abendonee tne Strata from sheer exhaut t on. At m doight a roll-call dttclosed three shot tuf a quorum. It tcok f< rty minutes to f ecure the necessary thiee. They wei e Palmer, Berry, and Blackburn. Ten minutes- later the guan m was breken again, and this time it toox an hour and ten mil ut- s to find a sufficient number for business. During the long wait Voorhees ra'd that he would ccn ent to a ■ ecess, but he would not yield to cdjournirent. His admission was taken to mean that tho fight was lost. No sooner had a quorum been recured thin it w broken forthethiid time. This time Sergeant-at-arms Bright made written

report to the Senate that at the hemes cf sixteen absent Ser atoi s it was reported thatthey“werenitin.” Hespeo.fled many ether exiuses of abteoteea. It was only too plain that the t ergeent-at-arms’ ieport was de gi od as a pretext to make adjournment natural and nece sary. The li st wo.d of the re] ort had hardly left the clerk's 1 ps when Voorhees was on his f< et. “Mr. Pie lident,” said he, in a voice without ti emor or emotion, ‘ there need be no comment on the mot n ng of that ieport. It tells its ovn >tory. I move that the S-na‘.e adjourn." The v< te was put and carried without a dissenting voice and th j fate of the silver repeal bill was sea e 1. What will next bi done is difficult tc tell. The silver men have now shown their ability to dicta e terms, and it is thought the end will be a c mprcmlse on the lines of the Harris amendment. Mr. Harris' Amrndmrnt. The amendment introduced by Mr. Han is provides: 1.
