Hannah waa Aroused.

Philadelphia Call.

No." "I'll call her," replied Simpkins,as he slipped out of bed and into the hallway and shouted: "Hannah!"

But Hannah slept on, and Simp kins, after repeated calls, prayed softly to himself, and bruised the skin of his hand knocking on the door. Then he came back and talked vigorously to Maria about hired girls, and hers in particular. "I'll wake her up," he finally said, gleefully, and then* he got out his 44-calibre revolver and broke his teeth getting the bullets out of two cartridges. Then he hustled out again into the hallway and fired a salute at Hannah's door, followed by another. In an instant he heard Hannah scream from the kitchen beh\v. She was up and had been for half an hour. Consequently she it was who let the big policeman, the baker, and tho milkman in at the front door, and it took Simpkins ten minutes to convince them that he bad not murdered his wife- Maria, however, as soon as she was visi ble, straightened things out, but somehow Simpkins feels that neither the hired girl, the baker, the milkman, nor the policeman look upon him as a man of great brain power.

FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS.

The session of the Senate, Tuesday, was brief. A large number of petitions were presented. Mr. Teller offered a resolution requesting tho President to suspend action in the consolidation of land offices provided for in the sundry civil bill for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894. Mr. Hawley introduced a resolution that the Secretary of the Interior send to the Senate the most advanced copy of the Census Office returns relative to manufactures. Mr. Kyle introduced a bill for the establishment of a national university. It was referred to a select committee. Then, on motion of Senator Gorman, ihe Senate went into executive session, and at 1:20 adjourned.

In the House, Tuesday, Mr. Pence rose to a personal explanation and apologized for his intemperate language i-n hisspecch, Monday. Mr. Cooper rose to a question of privilege to call Mr. Pence to account for the rellection alleged to have been cast upon him. Mr. Pence came to his own defense in a characteristic speech, charging Cooper with having deserted the cause of free silver at the dictation of the White House. Mr. Goissenhainer then- asked unanimous consent to consider a bill to save the armament of the recently wrecked Kearsarge. Mr. Cummings, chairman of tho naval committee. Stated that he had today received a letter from the Secretary of the Navy saying that if the wreck of the Kearsarge was to be saved, prompt action by Congress was necessary. Mr. Bland objected and moved that the House go into committee of the whole to consider the seigniorage bill. Pending that motion he moved to close general debate, Wednesday, at 3 o'clock, and on that demand the previous question. Tho vote was taken and resuited 159 to 0, fourteen short of a quorum. He moved a call of the House. The call developed the presence of 2i0 members. Mr. Bland moved to dispense with further proceedings under the call. Mr. Reed showed a disposition to filibuster, whereupon Mr. Bland demanded the yeas and nays. Further proceedings under the call were dispensed with—163 to 9—and Mr. Bland, seeing that it was probable that a quorum could not be secured, withdrew his motion to limit debate and moved to go into committee of the whole for further debate, without limit. This was agreed to and the debate became general and continued till 4:40, when the committee rose and the. House adjourned.

The Senate was in session two hours, Wednesday. Senator Frye discussed the President's Hawaiian policy, which he strongly condemned. At 1:5'» p. m. Mr. Frye indicated a willingness to defer tho remainder of his remarks until Thursday in order that he might not interfere with the Democratic caucus, because, a? he said, he wanted more Democrats to hear him, and on motion of Mr. Morgan the Senate went into executive session. After fifteen minutes spent in tho consideration of executive business tho doors were reopened and after the transaction of some minor business the Senate at 2::J0 adjourned.

In the House. Wednesday, tho dead lock on tho seigniorage bill was broken. Mr. Bland moved that the House go into committee of the. whole and that the debate on his bill close at 3 o'clock Thursday. A roll call resulted 16 to 5—no quorum. Mr. Bland shouted out that a quorum would have voted on that call had all the friends of the measure been where they should have been, in their seats—he then moved a call of the House. Mr. Reed insisted on the yeas and nays. The call of the House was ordered, 1S9 to 4. The call developed tho presence of 205 members. Mr. Bland moved to dispense with further proceedings under the call and on further motion Mr. Reed forced tho yeas and nays. The vote then recurred to Mr. Bland's demand for the previous question, which was sustained, 177 to 7. Loud cheers greeted the announcement of the breaking of the deadlock. A quorum having been secured, tho regular order of proceeding was observed. Several technical questions of a parliamentary nature was settled. The House was again blockod just as tho last barrier was being removed, and Mr. Outhwalte, stating that this question would come up as soon as the House convened, Thursday, moved an adjournment. It was carried, and then, at 4 o'clock, the House adjourned.

In the Senate, Thursday. Mr. Frye concluded his speech on the Hawaiian matter. Consideration of the bill for a new government printing office degenerated into a tariff debate. Resolution bv Mr. Manderson to authorize the Secretary of War to investigate the feasibility of using the water power at Grand Falls, D. C., to generate electricity for ligii ting the streets and public buildings of Washington was introduced and agreed to. After a half hour's executive session the Senate adjourned til) Monday.

At the opening of the House, Thursday. Mr. Cummings asked unanimous consent for consideration of a bill appropriating 545.C0J to reclaim the Kearsarge. Air, Kilgore remarked that it was impudence for members who blocked legislation by filibustering to ask for legislation by unanimous consent and demanded the regular order. The regular order was tho vote on the adoption of the special order to limit the debate on tho seigniorage bill to two hours, on which the quorum had failed last night, and tho clerk called the roll. Exactly a quorum voted and the special order was adopted—1GG to 13. Immediately upon the announcement of the vote the Speaker declared that, in accordance with the provisions of tho order just adopted, the bill would be open for debate and amendment for two hours. Mr. Bland was rccognized and offered a partial substitute or rather an amendment to the original bill, as follows: "After the coinage provided for In tho first section (the seigniorage) the remainder of the silver bullion purchased in pursuance of the act of July 14,18'JO, shall be coined into legal-teuder silver dollars as fast as practicable, and the coin shal 1 be held for redemption of the treasury notes issued against such bullion. As fast as the bullion shall be coined for the redemption of said notes the notes shall not bo reissued, but shall be canceled in amounts equal to the coin heldderivcd from coinage herein provided for, and silver certificates shall be issued on such coin provided for by law, providing that the act shall not be construed to change the existing law relating to legal-tender, character or modo of redemption of existing treasury notes under the act of 1890." A sufficient sum of money is appropriated to carry into effect tho provisions of the act.

Numerous amendments to tho substitute were offered, all of which woro last. The •voto was. then taken on the Bland substitute amendment and It waa adopted—171

tOi96. The vote was then taken on the final passage of the bill and it was passed —167 to 130. Loud cheers greeted the announcement of the victory. Mr. Cummings then asked and obtained unanimous consent for tho bill for the reclamation of the United States steamer Koarsarge, and it was passed. "Don't give up the ship." shouted General Sickles. The Speaker then announced the appointment of Mr. Haines, of New York, on the committeo on invalid pensions in place of Mr. Gresham. At 5:20 p. m. the House adjourned.

In the House, Friday, Mr. Bank head offered a resolution to appoint a committee to go to Chicago to investigate the condition of the postofiico building, which was passed. Mr. McCrea called up from the committee on ^public lands the bill which has been before several previous Congresses to provide for the opening of certain abandoned military reservations. Mr. Savers, chairman of the appropriation committee, raised the question of consideration against it, but the House decided to go on with the bill. -Mr. McCrea explained the provisions of the bill. There were eighty of such reservations. The act only applied to reservations of 5.000 acres area, and they were to be opened only to bona fide settlers, to be paid for at not k\' than their appraised vaiuc. After some debate the bill was passed. On motion of Mr. Holman, ex-Speaker Grow, the newly-elected Congressman at large from PenusylvaLia. was then sworn in. A burst of applause greeted Mr. Grow as ho stepped down the aisle to tako his place at the bar of the House. The House went back to committee of the whole for consideration of the pension appropriation bill. Mr. O'Xeil, of Massachusetts, in charge of the measure explained its provisions. The bill carried for the fiscal year ending June 30, lS'i5, £14,510,350 less than the bill last year. Tho original estimate for the coming fiscal year was 9162,000,000, but it had been revised and cut down later by Commissioner Lochren. In reply to inquiries lie said that he believed tho amount carried by the bill would meet the demands for all just pensions. Mr. Grout, of Vrrniount. followed with an assault on Commissioner Locliren's action in his wholesale suspension of pensioners, lie concluded with a glowing tribute to the valor, bravery and patriotism of the Union veterans. Mr. Meredith made rather a sensational speech. He said that he protested against making the pension rolls a roll of dishonor, in the name of a State that had paid three times as much for pensions as Vermont. Toward the end of Mr. Meredith's

speech

a most exciting scene occurred, which almost eventuated in a personal collision between him and Mr. Funk. Mr. Meredith was still talking about fraudulent pensions and was having an animated altercation with Baker, of New Hampshire, over a caso which had come under his (Meredith's) personal observation, whero a Union soldier was obtaining a pension for disability which lie (Meredith) claimed he did not have. Groat excitement followed, and a personal euc.mntor between Messrs. Meredith and Funk was only averted by the prompt action of the ser-geant-at-anns. Alter order had been restored Mr. Meredith arose and protested, amid laughter, that he was not excited, but that gentlemen could hardly do here what they mightdo elsewhere. With this parting shot he closed his speech and immediately the House, which was at high tension, on motion of Mr. Sayres. took a recess until 8 o'clock, the evening session to be devoted to pension legislation. The evening session was devoted to private pension bills of which a number were passed, and at a late hour the House adjourned.

GALUSIJA A. GROW,

Recently elected Congressman-at-Large from Pennsylvania, by 1S5.0'0 majority.

IN THE SUNNY SOUTH.

'"Have you seen my glove I think I dropped It," said Mrs. Bettie Wrench, a recently divorced woman, as she stopped in front of a saloon door on Main street, Memphis, Thursday night. Before tho man she was addressing could reply she whipped out a navy revolver and shot him through the hip. The man sprang to his feet, and as he did so, another bullet was sent through his stomach, bringing him to earth. In his recumbent position ho shot the woman through the hip, and she fell within a few feet of him. In this position both shot at each other until their revolvers were empty. The result was that the woman received another shot through the arm and is seriously wounded. The man is dead. The victim, J. W. Deming, a saw-filer from West Virginia, had alienated Mrs. Wrench's affections from her husband and then deserted her.
