The colonial Tea a Success. The Colonial Tea was a grand success. There were five George Washingtons present, Mr. W. B.

Many other gentlemen and ladies were costumed after the style of "ye olden time." So gay was the scene and beautiful the costumes, that many were heard to express a longing for the reappearance of the colonial costume. Ruby Martin and Mrs. W. B. Cuyler were charming as Mrs. Washington's. The program was all that could be desired the little folks "did themselves proud," and are gaining an enviable reputation in their line. The proeeeds were very satisfactory and the ladies are well pleased with their success. There were about 300 persons present.

KILLED BY THE CARS.

George Greenberry Tague Suddenly Called Home.

Last evening just before 6 o'clock Greenberry Tague was struck and killed by a freight train at the State street crossing. As was his custom he spent the afternoon in Greenfield and just before starting home called at the REPUBLICAN office for the Indianapolis News and EVENING REPTTBLICAN. He was unusually jovial and pleasant and left for home in his usual happy mood. Five minutes later we were shocked to hear he was dead. He was walking home and looking at the ground, so was not aware that he was near the railroad until he struck the track, as he is deaf and can hardly hear a train. He glanced up, saw a train coming swiftly toward him, threw up his hands and jumped back but the large beam at the top of the cow catcher known as the "deadwood" struck him, broke his right arm, a number of ribs and knocked him 50 feet or clear across the street, killing him instantly. Mr. Ed Weisner saw the accident, being quite near in Pherigo's boarding-house and it was also seen by several others. The accident came with sad and appalling force both to Mr. Tague's family, consisting of his son-in law, Henry C. Rumriil, daughter Mrs. Rumrill and grand daughter, Maggie Snyder, and the entire community with whom Mr. Tague was a great favorite. He was born in Switzerland county Ind. 67 years ago next May and came with his parents to this county when but two years old and has lived here ever since.

When a young man he married Miss Margaret Huntington, who died at the birth of her daughter, now Mrs. Rumriil. He has remained a widower ever since, and for many years has made his home with bis daughter and only child, at his elegant farm home just south of this city. He was engaged in the merchandise business for many years in Greenfield, and for a time at both Cumberland and Fortville, and amassed a competency. For many years he has not striven to male money, but being well-to-do, has proceeded to enjoy life, and few bad abetter time. One account of his genial, jovial disposition he was a general favorite and popular with everybody.

Just an hour or two before his death when some ene remarked that it was Washington's birthday, he said, "yes Washington was a great man but I would rather be Green Tague." When asked why, he said, "why Washington's dead and I can enjoy life." Alas he little knew what was iu store for him. We say good-bye old friend, for we regarded Green Tague, as one of our staunchest, truest and best friends.

He was kiud hearted genial, tender and true, a man who stood four square to the world and ceu.d be relied upon. He needs no further eulogy, he has gene to his reward.

The funeral will occur to-morrow at 2 o'clock at the family residence, just south of the city, and will be in charge of the Masons, of which he was a prominent member. There will be prayer by Rev. B. F. Daily, of the Christian church, and a service of song.

RUSHING LEGISLATION

Both Branches of Congress Hard at Work.

DAY AND NIGHT SESSIONS HELD.

The General Deficiency Bill, the Z.ast of the Appropriation Bills, Passed iu thn House—Behrinc Sea Appropriation Defeated—The Sundry Clrll Appropriation

Bill Considered in the Senate. WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—The general deficiency bill, the last of the regular appropriation bills, passed the house yesterday. Almost the entire day was spent discussing the amendment to paying Great Britain $425,000, the amount of damages agreed upon by Secretary Giesham and Sir Julian Pauncefote, to be due that country under the award of the Paris arbitration tribunal on account of the seizure of some 20 Canadian sealers by the United States previous to the modus vivendi of 1892.

The amendment was strongly attacked by Messrs. Cannon of Illinois. Henderson of Iowa and Hitt of Illinois, on the ground that the amount was unreasonably large that some of the vessels were owned by citizens of the United States and ,$375,000 was for constructive or speculative damages (the estimated catch). Only $81,000, they contended, was due Great Britain. Messrs. Breckinridge of Kentucky, McCreary of Kentucky, Sooker of Mississippi and Dingley of Elaine supported the amendment, maintaining that the government, no matter how bad the bargain, must carry out the awards of the Paris tribunal in good faith. Mr. Dingley declared that it was preferable to pay Great Britain $425,000 than leave the assessment of damages to an umpire appointed by a foreign power. The amendment carried in committee, but was defeated in the house—112 to 143.

Some excitement was caused by the attempt to strike out in the house the appropriation for an extra month's salary for th© employes of the hous© and senate and the clerks of members, but it failed, and the amendment prevailed, 143 to 108. Motions to reconsider and recommit were voted down as promptly as offered, until the opposition dwindled to a point where it could not get the ayes and nays. It then surrendered, and the bill wras passed.

In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—The senate is now working day and night on the appropriation bill in order to complete them before the session closes. The sundry civil appropriation bill was considered with little interruption or delay from 11:30 until 5:30, and again at a night session. An item of $150,000 for purchasing the historic property of the late James G. Blaiiuy^in order to prevent its use for theater purposes, occasioned a sharp debate, but was finally agreed to. Other senate amendments agreed to during the day included: The temporary federal building at Chicago, $200,000, and the beginning of a new government building at Chicago, $400,000.

TRAMPS' COOL WORK.

They Drive a Crew From a Freight Train and Break Open ami Rob the Cars. CLEVELAND, Feb. 26.—One of the boldest acts of lawlessness which has occurred in this city for along time took place in the western suburbs Sunday night. While a Nickel Plate freight train was standing in front of the telegraph office near the Detroit street crossing awaiting orders, a gang of tramps appeared, and with drawn revolvers drove off the crew of the train. The gang then began breaking open freightcars and helping themselves to their contents.

Meanwhile the police had been notified and a patrol wagon loaded with officers soon came upon the scene. The tramps, however, were on the watch, and escaped in the darkness.

Later two men were arrested charged with being members of Ihe gang.

Forbidden the Use of the Mails. WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—Postmaster General Bissell has issued fraud orders forbidding the use of the mails to Harriet Hummel Kern, Ohio City, O. H. C. Rupe, South Bend, Ind. Miss Modelle Miller, New Carlisle, Ind., and Bertha Benz, Milwaukee. These parties advertised extensively that they had a system which would give immense profit to lady correspondents and the investigation of their schemes by the department resulted in the declaration of fraud.

Whiteivay Trying to Borrow. ST. JOHNS, N. F., Feb. 26.—The Whiteway government applied to the imperial government last week for a loan of $2,000,000, pledging the revenue of the colony as security, and permitting two English commissioners to make the expenditure of the money. The imperial government declined to make the loan unless the local administration would consent to a thorough investigation of the colony's affairs by a royal commission beforehand.

Why It Was Overdue.

ASTORIA, Or., Feb. 26.—Th© British bark Dunreggen, long overdue from Valparaiso, arrived her© yesterday afternoon. Fifteen days ago Pilot Staples went aboard the vessel, and the same evening brought her to within a mile of the lightship at the mouth of the Columbia. An easterly gale oame on and blew them to sea. where they hare been ever since trying to get in. The Dunreggen is very light, and the pilot saya wholly unmanageable. 4." MCTCI Satisfied.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis., Feb. 26.—' The warm weather of the past few daya is doing considerable damage to the log* ging industry in thia section. Loggers who two weeks ago looked forward to very profitable season are discouraged. Another week of such weather will mean thousands of dollars loss to the Jobbers who depended on February and March to make the profit of the season

DEAR DOCTOR-.— I hear you are creating great excitement and healing the sick in every quarter.

You are a world's wonder. God has given you a wonderful gift indeed the greatest of all gifts. Your correct understanding in my case gave me unbounded faith in you at the start. I paid out for doctor bills and various remedies, the twelve years I was sick, hundreds of dollars. You completely restored me, and the cost was a trifle. Your charges are so reasonable that even the poorest of the afflicted may take your treatment. I have no more of those terrible paroxysms, my stomach is well, and I can now rest, eat and sleep as well as I ever did in my life.

My prayers are, that the sick all over the land may reach you in person or by letter, and receive your wonderful treatment. May God bless and prosper you in your noble work. Your grateful patient.
