PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. TEE SENATE. the Question of Providing; Additional Safeguards for Banks. Washington, June 17.—Mr. Sherman, in calling up Mr. Butler’s resolution of inquiry into the condition of the New York banks, made a ■verbal report from the committee on finance. After reviewing the circumstances attendant upon the recent financial troubles in New York city, Mr. Sherman continued, saying that all tint had been done to prevent a panic had been done by the banks themselves. The government of th® United States had no lot or parcel in it, except in so far as the Secretary of the Treasury had called in bonds—an ordinary transaction. The committee on finance, to which was referred the resolution heretofore introduced by Mr. Morgan, had called before them the Comptroller of the currency, who was familiar with all the facts, and examined him and secured from him all the information possible at this time. They were still examining the subject. Overcertiftcation, the committee believed, had! been practically stopped, and there was no evidence that any banks had overcertified checks, except those that had got into trouble. Mr. Sherman submitted a statement showing the condition of the associated banks of the city of New York, by weeks, from May 31 to June 14, 1884, which would give the Senator from South Carolina almost all the information called for by his resolution. Mr. Sherman felt satisfied that the normal condition of affairs ■would very shortly be resumed. There was one thing, however, he would personally suggest, namely, that there should,be a severe and stringent law prohibiting bank officers, other than directors, from dealing iu speculative operations. He would not extend such prohibition to directors, because they were generally business men. Whether a law on the subject would be effective be did not know. Ho read a resolution proposed by John C. Eno to the directors of his hank in December, 1883. and unanimously adopted, expressing their emphatic disapproval of the practice of dealing in speculative ventures by officers of banks and expressing a determination not to employ as an officer any person guilty of such conduct. At the very time, apparently, that Eno had drawn up this resolution, he was himself engaged in the very things he was denouncing. Tile substance of such a resolution should be embodied m the law, and! bank officers should be punished for infraction of that law. Mr. Beck said the papers exhibited by the Comptroller of the Currency to the Senate eom mitteo on finance, this morning, not only 3fcowei rhat he had vigilantly prosecuted the offenders, but that from his possession of papers, the contents of which the Senate would not desire, in the interest of justice,* to see made public, ho thought that officer was doing all that could be done. The matter went over, and the Utah bill was placed before the Senate. The question pending was on an amendment of Mr. Vest, providing that in no case shall a lawful husband or wife be a competent witness, except to the fact of a lawful marriage having been contracted. Rejected —lB to 30Other amendments were offered and rejected, and the Senate adjourned. A vote will be taken >n the bill at 5 o'clock to morrow. THE BOISE. The Fits John Porter Bill—Passage of the Deficiency Bill. Washington, June 17. Mr. Slocum presented the conference report on the Fitz John Porter bill. Its effect is to strike out of the bill the words “together with all rights, titles and privileges," and to insert the words, “provided that said Fitz John Porter shall receive no pay, compensation, or allow ance whatever, prior to his appointment under this act,” instead of the following words in the bill: “But this act shall not be construed as authorizing pay, compensation, or allowances prior to liis appointment under it. n The conference report was agreed to—yeas, 158; nays, & Mr. Parson, for the committee on public lands, reported back the bill to restore all lands held in indemnity limit, for railroad and wagon-road purposes. Placed on the House calendar. The House then went into committee of the ■whole (Mr. Dunn in the chair) on the deficiency bill. Several amendments were offered and rejected. When the House reached the end of the bill, Mr. Randall moved as an additional section, his proposition against political assessments. Mr Cannon made the point that the amendment was not in older. Mr. Randall admitted that the amendment was open to the point of order, but expressed re gret that the point had been made, adding that the judgment of the people was that political assessment had been carried to an outrageous extent. Mr. Kasson admitted that the amendment was objectionable, not only as being against law, but as being against good policy. If an lowa farmer sold one hundred bushels of oats to an army commissary lie could not use any of the money for disseminating political information or for- printing tickets. A •member of Congress desiring re-election would not be permitted to spend any of his own money for the ordinary purposes of his election, while his competitor (not being a member) might expend any amount he chose. The chairman, while expressing regret that such a wholesome proposition, one so conducive to public morals, was out of order, felt constrained to sustain the point of order, and the proposition was therefore not admitted. The committee then roee. am! the House agreed, in bulk, to all the amendments reported, except the one striking out the proviso as to compensation of fourth-class postmasters. The vote on striking it out was taken by yeas and nays, and tlie result was, yeas 151, nays 81 —the result being in the interest of postmasters. Tlie bill was then ]>assed. Mr. Hewitt, of New York, from the committee on ways and means, reported the bill to carry into, effect the convention between the United States of America and the United States of Mexico, signed on the 20th of January, 1882. The report is favorable. The report was ordered printed and the biTT placed on the calendar. The bill to prohibit the importation of labor under coutract, being the special order for to day, was postponed till Thursday, and that day set apart for its consideration. The House then proceeded to consideration of the bill imported from the committee on Pacific railroads, to amend the several Pacific railroad acts. It requires the companies to file, within ninety days from the passage of this act, or within sixty days after completion of surveys, a list of selections of lands claimed by them, and to deposit the cost of sur veying, selecting and conveying the same. The first question was taken on an amendment offered by Mr. Pay son, to one offered by Mr. Hanback. Mr. Hanbaek’s amendment was that all lands embraced iu th© notice to be given by the Secretary of the Interior to railroad companies —to take their patents—shall be subject to State, Territorial and municipal taxation, after jixty days from date of the notice. Mr. Pavson’s amendment was that tire lien of the United States for cost and expenses of surveying shall But bo affected by sale of the lands. Mr. Payson’s amendment was adopted, and theu Mr. Hanback’s (as so amended) was also adopted, on a vote by tellers. Mr. Crisp demanded th© yeas and nays on the amendment, declaring it was an abandonment of the security which the government now had in these lands. A vote by yeas and nays resulted—yeas 99, nays 88, so the amendment was agreed to. A vote was then taken on Mr. Pavson’s subst' ute for the bill and amendment. It provides that if railroad companies shall not, within sixty days from the receipt of notice, pay the costs of surveying the land, then their right to such lands shall cease aiid the lands shall be restored to the public domain, for settlement under the homestead laws. The substitute was agreed to, and the bill, in that shape, passed The House then took up the bill to amend the Thurman act, but, without action, adjourned. Railway M:ister Meclxauic*. Long Branch, N. J.. June 17. —The seventeenth annual convention of the American Railway Master Mechanics’ Association opened today, with President Reuben Wells, of Louisville, Ky., in the chair. Four new members were en-

rolled. The president made along report on the subject of driving wheel tires, which was discussed at length, after whieh the committee on > boilers and boiler appliances made their report and exhibited diagrams of every kind of boiler iu th© United States. The convention then adjourned until to-morrow. Members of the convention will goon an ocean excursion to-morrow, and on Thursday go ou a special train to Beach Haven. TIIE COMMENCEMENT SEASON.

The first exercise of the day was the planting of a “class ivy,’’ by the class of *B4 A defunct locust-tree was erected just north of East College, at the foot of which the ivy was planted. Class songs were sung, their historian portrayed the brilliant record of their past career, and their prophet built huge air-castles for the future. The C. G. Cloud prize contest in declamation occurred at 2 o'clock p. m. This contest arouses more interest than most any other of the numerous contests with which the DePauw University is favored. The award of $75 is divided into three prizes of $35, $25 and sls each. At the close of the declamations the N. G. Smith prize thesis in toxicology, was read by the successful contestant, Mr. M. M.

Miss Lloyd illustrated her subject by experiments with the differcntelectrial apparatus belonging to the institution, and displayed, on her part, a wonderful comprehension of the subject in hand. Eailliain College. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Richmond, June 17.—Commencement week programme: The exercises of June 25 will close a very prosperous year for Eariham College. Nearly 309 have been enrolled during the year, which is more than the average during the past Both students and teachers have manifested interest in their work. The graduating class, numbering ten, is larger than any year since 1860. Much sorrow is felt by the studonts from the fact that four of the old professors will not be in the college next year. Notwithstanding this feeling of sadness all are looking forward toward a pleasant reunion daring commencement week. Judging from the outlook a large company will be present. The banquet to be given by the lonian Soeiety is a great inducement to many to return. Much in tcrest is being manifested rn this affair. Many old members have written, saying they will surely be in attendance. All members are invited to be present and bring ladies. The society has been in existence twenty-six years. This is its first reunion, and it is very desirable that as many old members as possibLe be present. W. T. Doggett, of 78, later of Princeton, will deliver the address before tlie alumni association on Tuesday night. Dr. Moss, of Indiana State University, will deliver tlie baccalaureate address to the graduates. The finishing class in the preparatory department numbers nineteen, most of whom will enter the freshman class next year.

Lynch, the colored Republican who obtained notoriety as the temporary chairman of the Republican national convention, is here just now. He was, as is well known, a member of the last House, and, therefore, well acquainted in Washington. He lias a good many friends here, and, having been a member of Congress, is entitled to the privileges of the floor of the House, where he is seen very often now. Lynch is a grille—that is, he is the son of a negro mother and a mulatto father. His mother was a favorite house servant of the family of the Hon. Alfred Davis, a very prominent planter of Louisiana, whose home was m Natchez, on the Mississippi side of the river, and the hoy John, when young, was given some light employment in the residence of his master’s family until lie became old enough to bo made Mr. Davis’s valet Naturally bright, he soon learned to read, and when he accompanied Mr. Davis to Europe he was a shrewd observer of persons and tilings. In England he would have been made free if he had made kuown his condition of servitude; but although lie knew this, he preferred to remain with his master, who had always been very kind to him, rather than take the chance erf starvation among a people whose philanthropy is well enough on paper, but does not extend beyond that. It speaks well for Lynch’s sense of gratitude that he has nover forgotten the kind ness of his former master, who is still one of the richest men in Mississippi, and that the re lotions between the two have always been of the most friendly character. It is said that when Lynch was nominated for Congress by tho Re publicans from “the shoestring district” he went to Mr. Davis, told him what had happened, and borrowed from him the funds necessary for tlie campaign. Milwaukee's Broken Rank. Milwaukee, June 17.—George P. Sanborn, receiver of the Manufacturer's Bank, reports the liabilities as about $400,000; the assets are nominally $500,000, but he cannot realize on them. Outsiders say they will scarcely pay 50 cents on the Hollar unless president CVuero holds to his promise to see tliat all debts are paid. No other banks are affected, and no business houses are troubled. The only heavy depositors were fortunate in having drawn out their funds, rumors having been rife for some time that the bank was shaky. The Lake Shore & Western Railroad Company had just withdrawn $700,000 in securities. A Defaulting Moiiey-Ord©** Clerk.

But the tumor liad so completely absorbed the man that, after being cut off, it was found to be much bigger than the remnant The Egotistic Cipherer. Logatisport Journal.

AN INTERVIEW WITH MR. WORTH. The Dress of the Women of To-day—Au Indescribable Mixture. Paris Letter in Pall Mall Gaeette. After several visits to M. and Mmt Worth's establishment iu the Rue de laPaix, I succeeded in obtaining an audience of M. Gaston: Worth. In rouly to my wish tliat he would tell me all about the Paris fashions, he said: “It is extremely difficult to say anything precise ou tlie character of the fashions now, because there is no fashion at all. There are so many dressmakers, each one having her own ideas, that the result is a sort of salmagundi which prevents the fashion from having any definite character, such as it had in former centuries. The reason why there have been so many mixture® ©f every kind is because communication between nations is now so easy and rapid that anew fashion lias not time to bo worn by everybody before another one comes. “In reality there are very few ladies who drees absolutely according to the existing fashion. Women will not accept a fashion just when it is shown to them; they prefer to have what they have been accustomed to for years past, and it is rather difficult to make them understand that, they must try to change their habits. I will give you au example. We one© mad© a long cloak, with gathering round the neck and on the hack, open at the sid©s and back, and with about ten Th© iir*t season we only made two or three of these cloaks. ‘What a peculiar thing it is,* said each lady when she saw it for the first time; ‘I shall never wear a cloak like that.’ But the next season we sold from two to throe hundred of them, and three years later every woman you saw in the street had one, and the second-rate establish meats put these cloaks forward as novelties. “Then, again, it is tho fashion to dress in gray at the present tiuiq. but there are many ladies who would not wear that color. It is also the iotiliipu to have a dress very high at the shvul

■ dfers; Tmt, would you believe it? we introduced that style about six years agp! It was found that when the seam on the shoulder was too high or to low, according as the clutii. had been cast* a crease formed which caused a lump when the lady hold np her-arm. Little by little* dresses were made with an intentiual Lump until it became the fashion to have the shoulders of the dross high. So you see how fashions are- made. fort itr not passible to say whaX is going tx> be worn. If. you, go into any place of amusement, or fashionable salon,, i you- will'ask yonr.self iP some of tire women yen see are not. 200 or 300 years old. What they wear makes them look like a composition of Old Mother Hubbard, a lady ©£ tlie: time ot Lanin , XIV, or any other lady of any other period youi 1 can mention. , “The fashion of to-day is indeseribalte. Lt ia not Greek, nor Roman, nor mediaeval, nor remteaanca*—and?, mind yon, there is the same , decadence in dress as. in* painting or architecture: —it has no definite character; it is a mixture, a* salad. For the painters of the future ill will be: a very difficult mutter, indeed, to decide the' period to which the women of the present time belong.” Thus did M. Worth, ji\. calmly describe the nondescript character of the lady of the period in tho rmttter of dress; speaking almost, uninterruptedly,. just as though he had been delivering a lecture before the members' of a dress-reform association. Whether ho would have spoken, his mind so freely had some representative of tho i weaker aex been present is & (presflion not to* he decided here. “Who creates the fashions, then?’’ I asked*. “Who conceives those wonderful combinations of form and color and malerwW Am I right in supposing tliat there are artists or de signers who devote their time and talents to the invention of new stylos of dress?” “Well, a great many new fashions have first seen the light hi this establishment. * replied' M. Gaston Worth, “M. Worth, senior, created them. We have a large staff of ladies who do a great dfeak but M. Worth himself makes ouafashions. There are- n© artists or designers at alT —nothing in the shape of design; because if there were designers it> would be very often im possible to make in cloth what had been drawn upon paper, however beautiful it might be. ” “How many people do yam employ i joru workrooms?*’l inquired. “We. have about 700 workwomen, comprising cutters, fixers, trimmers, embroiderers, shirt makers, sleeve makers, 400 in the house and 300 outside. Then there arc trimming makers; etc., who - work indirectly for us.' 7 In conclusion, Mr. Gaston Worth said it would be a grant relief to the dressmakers not to have so many styles, which heavily handicap seme of the smaller establishments. The success of the tashiotirmaker’s art depends upon- the variety of forms and the comparatively low price, which allows the merchant "to realize a reasonable profit. Naturally, tho persons who buy the cloth, silk, trimmings and lace must be thoroughly competent judges. It is of a combination of all these articles upon, a roughly cut out pattern in muslin that are born those wonderful dresses so much sought after by our lady compatriots. When the Paris season closes, a quantity of clothing always remains, which is sold at a reduced price aad shipped to South America, where it is sold again as a novelty the following year. MEXICO’S WOMAN BANDIT. How She Murdered Stage Passengers, ami Held Menlthy Men for Ransom. Queretaro Letter. La Uaramboda, the woman brigand, long a terror to travelers in this region, is dead at last, with a bullet in her heart. Her operations extended over a number of years; and' were of tho most daring description. For a long time the authorities found it very difficult to trace or even to explain the crimes which she committed, for no one suspected that a woman was the guil ty person. No two of her robberies were committed in tlie same manner. Sometimes she was a passenger, and at other times she was with the bandits, and took part in the shooting, if any was to be done. A woman of some per sonal charms, when appropriately dressed, she was a fiend when about her business of murder and pillage whom, very few cared to encounter. Her male assistants were many and devoted. One of her schemes, it lias been learned, was ,to bide her time in some town until she found one or two men of means who were going by the diligence- tto some distant point, and then to take passage with them. It is suspected that on more than one occasion she took the driver into her confidence, but when thiA could not be done, she readily deceived him or quieted him with a bullet. A perfect mistress of dissimulation and possessing a soft and insinuating manner, she liad no difficulty in working herself into tlie good graces of travelers, who did not look for a Mexican bandit under her attractive guise. In this way she easily discovered who had money and valuables aaiil who had not- If slue found a man who appeared to be of some consequence, but who did not have much money, she betrayed him into the hands of. her confederates, who held him for a ransom. If her victim proved to be well supplied with easn, he 1 usually met a violent death within twenty-four hours. Leaving a town before daybreak, in company with two travelers whom, she had marked for robbery, she would coyly accept tho customary innocent attentions at their hands, and perhaps indulge in a little conversation with them. An hour later, when well on their journey, watching her opportunity, she would draw two revolvers, and, before they could detect her movement, lodge a bullet in the back of each of them. The driver, busy with his team, and perhaps paid not to be to© attentive to what was going on behind him, would not disturb her. With her booty secure, she would take her own time about leaving the stage, always waiting until a point convenient to the fastness of some of her confederates was reached. It was known that the highways were infested by robboTS, ana rt was not thought strange that an oceitsional murder was perpetrated, but the similarity between several cases soon attracted attention, and various experiments led to the discovery that a woman, operating first on one road and then on another, was at the bottom of them. The plausible stories told by the drivers seem to mystify the officers more than anything else. They always asserted that highwaymen had done the work, and if inquiry was made at one end of the route for the woman who started, it was always said that she arrived at her destination unmolested. The absence of telegraphs and of any regular means of communication mate it possible to keep up this deception for a long time. When tho woman found that she was suspected, she abandoned this plan of operations, and, remaining with the robber band to which she was attached, devoted the greater part of her time to the abduction of wealthy agriculturist®. Her plan in these cases was very much the same as in her stage robbery enterprises. First winning the confidence of her intended victim, and getting him involved in some intrigue, she would betray him at the proper time into the hands of her associates, who would spirit him away, and presently open negotiations for his return. While these were in progress, she would he busy setting her net for a fresh victim a hundred miles away. La Guramboda's latest exploit was unsuccessful. She was hovering about the Sun Juanico hacienda, with the intention of securing the abduct ioa of Don Civelo Vasques, or one of his sons, when a fellow who had long served in her train, deserted, and communicated her secret to the- authorities. They made elaborate preparations to capture her entire party, but, failing in this, they made sure of her. and soon bad her in irons. Hearing of her fate, her followers determined on a rescue. They pursued the officers for twenty miles, and, overtaking them at Connindad, opened fire at once. The troops returned the shots, and a lively engagement ensued, in tho course of which three of the bandits were killed and the others put to flight When the troojw approached their prisoner after the tight they found her dead, presumably from a bullet fired by her own friends. The chains were removed from her limbs, and she was bur ied by the roadside One of her captors described her as a beautiful woman, not more than thirty years old. with clear complexion and long and abundant hair, but with a wicked eye and a crueMooking mouth when in repose.

That.. which struck me, as a stranger arriviug* as peeu liar, was the proclamation of the chief of police, In full uniform, before the passengers left the depot: “Beware of pick pockets, confidence-men. bunko-steerers and quack doctors,” and thus far I have eluded the wiles which these skilled artists pratiee on tho simple and arreus pecting travelers, and no doubt the warning ('which he says is made by authority of the City Council )has saved many from being victimized.

The street follows the meandering? of tho little stream of water a mile in length, which finally forks into two small branches, tho street following up tlie banks to tho source of the stream. It is impossible to extend the city either on the one side or the other, and to all appearances the rocks and forests growing on the mountains, which are really spurs of the Ozark range, are now as they have been for thousands of years, and will continue until some convulsion of na ture shall change their aspect. It is asserted by scientists, who form their opinion from the physical evidences, that these springs have been flowing about as they may now bo seen for 2.500 years. The high temperature of these waters must be attributed to the internal beat of tho earth. They flow out of the mountain one thousand feet above the level of the ocean, and are completely permeated by heated va]K>r.s. In number there exist, more than a hundred of these hot springs, and their temf>rature ranges from top to 135" Fahrenheit, and it is said the water will not scald-the mouth like that heated by artificial means. I have myself found none tfhat was' unpleasant to the taste or that would scald, and 1 drink it every day, for it is brought into the Arlington, where I li-oard, from ii native home in the mountains, by means of pipes which are constructed to retain the heat. The atmosphere her© is delicious, and the mountain scenery picturesque. I have no doubt that it is healthy. For about three hours during the day tlie sun shines hot, but when the evening shades prevail a breeze springs up and one must have a blanket for a cover. He rises- in tlie morning refreshed and invigorated, and not, as often the case in Indiana, unable to rest on account of extreme beau This is the latitude of Columbia, South Carolina, and of Atlanta, Georgia. It is below the Indian Territory, and not much above the central part of the State of Mississippi. Agriculturally considered,, the country is poor, though it is the home of the peach, which is now ripe and luscious on our tables in great abundance. M. L. Bundy. 31k. J. R. Stewart, of Macon, Ga.,. a wellknown and trustworthy gentleman, makes tire following statement: “My soil, who was between tliree and four years old* was all drawn up with rheumatism. His bones were twisted, and he was all doubled out of shape. He suf sered intense pain, had lost his appetite, was cross and fretful. He was reduced to a mere skeleton, and had to be carried about on- a pillow. As these cases of rheumatism, where the bones were twisted and the joints were all ©rooked, had for years baffled the skill of the most eminent physicians, 1 to use Swift's Specific, as I had seen testimonials from men whom I knew to be trustworthy* of similar cases it had cured. I used two large size bottles of S. S. B. according to directions, with the most satisfactory results. My son commenced improving with the first dose of the medicine. His sufferings diminished daily and his appetite increased; he became cheerful and in good spirita Gradually he regained use of his limbs, the twisted bones and joints straightened out and in less than two months he was entirely cured, and could walk and get about as well as any chikl of his age.
