Forms a Topic For Discussion in Congress.
DIFFERENT VIEWS EXPRESSED.
Eilvor Democrats and Populists United.
Substitute For the Carlisle liill Favored
by Some— Reed Has His Followers—A
Cabinet Meeting Discusses the Financial
Situation —Proceedings of Congress.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 6.—The debate on the administration bill to authorize the issue of $500,000,000 gold bonds for the purpose of retiring the legal tenders and treasury notes began in the house yesterday and continued for six hours. It developed widely divergent views at the outset. The silver Democrats and Populists opposed it outright. Some of the administration Democrats, like Hall of Mississippi, favored a substitute on the lines of the Caiiisle bill.while Mr. Reed, the leader of tlx1 Republicans, after a speech charging the present trouble to the deficiency in the revenue, introduced a bill authorizing the secretary of the treasury to sell 3 per cent coin bonds to keep up the gold reserve? and certificates of indebtedness, redeemable at the pleasure of the government, to pay current expenses until the revenues shall equal the expenditures. The issue of gold bonds, he said, would discriminate against- tlie coin bond of the past. Mr. Patterson, a Democrat from Tennessee, 3ii the contrary, favored the issue of gold bonds.
The senate session opened with a very breezy personal altercation between Mr. Mitchell of Oregon and Mr. Harris of Tennessee. The words "ungentlemaiily" and "contemptible" were exchanged and for a time it looked as though the senate chamber might witness a repetition of the billigerent scene in the house last week. But the conflict assumed a somewhat serio-comic aspect and the senate soon relapsed into an uneventful consideration of routine business. The District of Columbia appropriation bill was passed, after having been before the senate more than a week, and discussion of the diplomatic and consular bill was begun.
CABINET SESSION.
The Financial Situation Considered but No Conclusion Reached. WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—The cabinet was in session yesterday from before 10 o'clock until after 2:45. It is understood that almost the only subject of discussion was the pending bond issue. Several prominent New York bankers are here, among them J. Pierpont Morgan, ami while they have not seen either the president- or Mr. Carlisle, it is understood that their views on the situation were conveyed to the president.
No autliorative statement of the character of the cabinet discission can be made, but it is believed that no final action has been determined upon. It is understood that negotiations with rcpre-
it is understood, to place the entire issue of bonds with London bankers, who would pay for them with London gold and thus av lor the present at least, the necessity for paying out gold in exchange for legal tenders. While no definite conclusion lias been reached it is believed that the announcement of the s.de of tiie bonds will be made at an earlv da v.

KANSAS CITY. Feb. G.—Two heavy trolley car -, collided high up in the air on the elevated railway structure in Kansas City, Kan., today. They were going at full speed on the north track, I and while the force of the collision was so great that the front platforms were I demolished and the westbound car shoved back off its truck, neither car went off its structure.
Forty passengers were on board the two, cars. Singularly enough there was no loss of life, and the only serious injury was to the two motormen. The list of the injured are as follows: JamJackman, motorman, left foot smashed, amputation necessary Albert McNaniore, motorman, nose broken and face eut L.

Suddenly the boiler exploded, and t1 following were killed: Nathan Taylo,., Harvey Taylor, John VVelker and Jacob Clapper. Wilson Drake, is dying
Harvey Williams was the only one of the six who escaped, and he is badly bruised. The men were careless mid neglected the machinery. Cold water being injected into a dry and hot boiler caused the explosion.
J'rogress of a Murder Trial. CHIOAOO, Feb. G.—Edmund JordanAnnie Mahoney and John Jersey win arraigned today for the murder of Janitor Alfred D. Barnes, whose mutilated body was found in a world's fair pack
ing box last December. Jordan, who had confessed to the killing, will plead self-defense, and lie, with Jersey and Annie Mahoney pleaded not guilty yesterday.

We always expect the "boys" to lose their memory when the grand jury is in session, but something seems to have affected everybody to-day, as few people knew any news.
What is cheaper or better to eat than nice young whole sV.oulders of pork at 6 cents per pound and sausage all pork, made®up every day at cents. If you have any doubt of the sausage being all pork, you can buy the material and make it yourself, at the same price.

But like the shadow of a cloud athwart the summer's sadness of exquisite pathos touched the wit and glee of Mr. Burdette's lectuie. Tears filled the eyes, even while the lips of the audience were wreathed in smiles, and many a heart throbbed with the memoiics—the tender beauty—his descriptions of home evoked. —Cleveland (Ohio) Leader. -63t2

A NEW MASONIC HALL.
A Committee Appointed at the Kegular Meeting Last Nitflit.
Last night at the regular Masouic meeting the question of a new hall came up and provoked much discussiou. A committee was appointed to sell the old building and ground and secure a location for a new building. The committee, as appointed, is the Master Charles Downing, Wardens John T. Duncan and S. P. Gordon, Eph Marsh and D. B. Cooper. AVe understand that Nelson Bradley offers to give the lodge his lot just east of Henry Gates' property on Main street, and some favor tbat location. Others, however, favor a location near the present one, such as the Wilson corner, the Guymon House block, or the Walker-Boyd Ran dall lots, corner of linand State streets. It will be thoroughly discussed before the hali is built, however.

A XKff CITY Bt'ILOING.
AVliat a Number t' Our Kcprcsi Business Men Think It.
t.lt
E P. Thayer, .Tr —I am opposed to the proposed location. The-Board of Trade and citizen* generally have been doing what they cnuld to boom our city and now when the city has a chance to put up something that will be a credit to Greenfield, it does not want to hide it away between two buildings on a side street.
Wm. Tollen—Our city is in debt some, but the rent we now pay for rooms will pay interest on a good building. I do not like the proposed location. It ought to be in a more public plae». If wu build now in ought to be with the intention o: doing better some day, as we certainly can not build the kind of a build: ug now that we ought to have.
J. Ward Walker—I do not think ill" Council should allow a few dollars to stand in the way of a first class location and a building that would be an honor and a credit to ©ur city. The building will not be for this month or this year, but for many years to come The North street location is not the oae for the cny I building _»
Lee C. Thayer—I ttimk it would be I foolishness to build a new city building now. The best thing to do is to get out of debt before building We need sewerage worse than we ueed a city building Wken the city does build it should get a public location where a good building would show off and be of advantage to our city in advertising us aoroad.
It would be very nice for the city -jfiicers to have A No 1 offices, but we can wait until we can build properly.
Frank S. Hammel—I thmk we need a new school building worse than we do a city hall. When we do build though it should be in a style that we would not be ashamed o*'.
H. Thayer—We elect the Council to attend to that business and they are all good men. If we have the stuff, the thing to do is to build the building. The proposed location is a poor one and should be bettered. A city building should be a credit to our city and should not be put where people will not see it.

J|
Eph Marsh—I am opposed to building the kind of a building the Council is cousideriug at present. I am in favor of building a city hall that will be in keeping with the general tendency of the times and Greenfield's well-known reputation for progre.-s atal advancement. When we do build a city hall let it redound to our honor and glory.
I J. VV. Cooper—We ought to have a
1
city building—modern and up to dte. I There could be a better location, Lowever, than the proposed oue on North St.
I We to-day again present the views of a I number of business men in regard to the proposed city building. The general opinion seems to prevail that a building should not- be ^reettd until one can buili thai wouid answer the piUj^usci, oi the city otiiei.-rs. a mayor's court, a. fire department and at the same time be such a building as would be a worl-ln tuomiment to the public spirit ami enterpris of a city the size and character ot caecn field. The North street loca.tion is u_popular because it is hemmed in between other buildings.
for the poor last night at- their Hall was a decided success. Baby Florence did herself proud, and is a credit to any organization. Her singing is indeed wonderful, but she ranks first as a comedieune. Mr. J, D. Ford kept the audience in good humor with funny songs, sayings and dancing. Last but not least Mrs. Lawrence, who is a lady of culture and first class executive ability. In the act "The Honeymoon" she showed perfect elocution and pleased all. Her retu'erim,' of the vocal solo, "Fallen by the Wayside," was given with great dram itic force with a well trained voice and completed au evenings entertainment that was appreciated by all, and we hope we may soon have the pleasure of hearing them again. The poor will appreciate our combined efforts with these strangers within our gates as the receipts were yood, and we all unite in thanking the good people ot Greenfield for their prompt, response in behalf of the needy.
