The First Session the Fifty-‘ Fourth Congress Ends To-Day. Interesting Washington News and Chat. GAZETTE's BUREAU, 709 EAST CAPITOL STREET 2 WASHINGTON. JUNE 10. l The first session of this the 54th Con- gress is finally booked'to adjourn to- morrow at 4' o’clock p. m. No new business is to be considered and the prolongation of the session was necessi- tated in order to give the enrolling clerks time for the engrossing of the bills and the President a chance to ex- amine those he is required to sign. 0 o o A number of bills of minor importance were passed by the House in the course of the-day, preference being given to measures which had already passed the Senate. All of these, together with such House bills as passed the latter body to-day without amendment, will be sent to the President to-morrow morning for his approval. 0 o o The proverbial joker of the House, John Allen of Mississippi, seized upon the lull in business to get Oh one of his irresistably funny speeches. ' o o o Dockery of Missouri, known as the “House kicker,” made an elaborately prepared partisan harrangue, which was replied to impromptu by Dingley of Maine, with the result that everybody felt sorry for Dockery, who had to take water and haul off to repair damages. _ o o, o The news received here from the Connecticut State Convention filled every patriotic heart with joy in that it came out flat footed for honest money. ‘ o o o The news that Joseph Manley, head manager for Speaker.Reed.’s President- ial boom had given up to McKinley and expressed the conviction that he would be nominated on the first ballot, was received with surprise by Mr. Reed ' and his friends. ‘ o o o To-night’s Evening Star (democratic) states that “To-day’s talk among the Democratic politicians is that a big com- ' bination is forming, having for its ob- ject the nomination of Bland for Presi- dent, and John H. McLean, of “The Cincinnati Enquirer, for Vice-Presi- dent, avery strong combine. It will catch the Missouri and Ohio delega- tions, besides other strong delegations. , A strong argument in behalf of the hem- ination of Mr. McLean is that he is a wealthy man, and would bring quite a lamp to the Democratic campaign fund, which now has indications of “heart weakness.” ' o o o This Congress is now at an. end and its members are all more or less af- fected by the seething cauldron of the approaching Presidential Contest. 0 o 0 Senator Plait protested against con' sidering the contempt of court bill dur- ing the last hours of the session and no quorum present. 0 o o The House bill changing from Sep- tember to October the date of holding United States court at Hartford, was passed, as was the House bill to adopt regulations for preventing collisions at 883. 0 O 0 Congressman N. D. Sperry has been , notified that upon his return home to New Haven, the post office clerks and letter cahriers’ association will arrange for a banquet to be given him. 0 0‘ o The concurrent resolution for final adjournment of Congress at 4 p. m. to- morrow was received from the Senate and agreed to. 0.

Thirteen Divorces Down for a Hearing To-morrow. There are no less than twenty-nine motions for Judge F. B. Hall to dispose of to-morrow. Among the number are thirteen divorce caSes. The most important matter to come up on the short calendar is the consid- eration of the affairs of the Norwalk and South Norwalk Electric Light com- pany. An injunction is to be asked for against the city of South Norwalk to' restrain from continuing in the electric light business, and also an order to com- pel the city to buy the plant of the com- pany before it establishes or continues a plant of its own.

In company with Miss Martin she Was returning home from a long pleasant drive. In front of the George W. Cram place the horse became fright- ened at a Tramway car. The driver rained the horse to one side of the street, but the animal commenced backing with the result that the car struck the carriage and overturned the occupants into the street. Mrs. Matthews struck the ground first and was followed by Miss Martin who fell on her. The accident was witnessed by those living near who quickly went to the assistance of the ladies. Colonel Fred. St. John Lockwood happened to be driving by at the time and Mrs. Mathews, in every dazed con- dition was assisted into the carriage and taken to her home. It is feared. that her injuries are of a serious nat- ure. Miss Martin was able to go into the Gram residence when she recovered from her nervousness and shortly after, was able to return home. The carriage was consierably dam- aged. ' Oddly enough the horse did not run away. Ho For Europe.

Captain Logan is somewhat better of his recent illness. - Two of our old comrades have died in the hospital this week. George “Hen” Waterbury is getting along as nicely as could be expected, but he has a longing to see the verdure on Marshall street. Alarge number of the members of the Women’s Relief Corps paid us a visit yesterday and made glad the hearts of all the “old vets.” John Lockwood started for Bridge- port this morning to visit his wife and grandchildren. ,He will probably call on Norwalk friends before returning. John distinguished himself the other day by catching about fifty pounds of blackfish which when dressed tipped the scales at six pounds. Commencement at Hillside. Mrs. M. E.

Garrett Haulenheek Welcome . Friends at Their Home on ' Orchard Street. c Last evening was certainly a happy one for Rev. Garrett Haulenbeek and his estimable wife. It was the ending of the day which was the fiftieth anni- Versary of the plighting‘ of their marital vows. ‘ The house was beautifully illuminated both inside and out. Invited guests began to arrive at an early hour and were welcomed by Mr. and Mrs. Haul- enbeek with becoming grace and cor- diality. , Cbngratulations Were heard on every hand, and if with the blessings received by the couple their lives shall be pro- longed they are likely to live to cele- brate their diamond or 75th wedding anniversary. '- There was a heartiness about the con- gratulations that gave evidence that they were heartfelt and honest. The guests “owned the house” and caused a season of pleasure that became contagious and with which Mr. and ' Mrs. Haulenbeek became throughly in-__ fected. In fact they seemed to enter” into the spirit or the occasion with the same heartiness as did their grand- children and as remarked one guest "were almost as frolicksome.” Afeast of substantials and dainties was served, of which all partook with evident gratification. Mr. and Mrs. Haulenbeek were the recipients of many presents among the rest being gold pieces aggregating nearly $200. , The large number of guests testified to ,the esteem in which the couple are held. Among other noticeable presents were two gold watches, one for both bride and groom. ~ Possibly aside from the pleasure in receiving their friends was the greater pleasure of welcoming children and grandchildren altogether under the one hospital roof, broken only by the ab- sence of their son John H. Haulenbeek who was ill and unable to be present. As said the GAZETTE yesterday: It is along way, from 1846 to 1896, and a host of friends will most heartily con- gratulate' this hale, hearty and worthy couple. ' . The Woman’s Exchange. The quarterly meeting of the W0- man’s Exchange was held at the Gen- tral Club House on Monday afternoon J une 8th. Despite the threatening weather a goodly number of enthusias- tic members were present, who listened attentively to thejreading of the very interesting and encouraging reports. In the quarter just closed has occurred a most important event in the history of the Exchangez—the removal ofthe same from South‘ Norwalk to its present bright and commodious quarters in the Central Club House on West avenue, Norwalk. The change was made after great deliberation and the Managers are pleased and gratified to state that the experiment has not been a failure, and that the Exchange, as shown by the Treasurer’s report has never been in a more flourishing conditionthan at present. The sales have steadily in. creased each month. Much of the success of the sales is due to the very efficient care of the Superintendent,Miss Luella Lane. The many friends and patrons of the Ex- change have availed themselves of the privilege of being able to have their purchases in the domestic line, sent to their homes by paying a small fee of five cents to the messenger for this purpose. As the President, Mrs. E. H. Fox in her pleasing address very aptly said, “It has long since become an acknowl- edged fact, that the Woman’s Exchange is a necessity; and it is to the credit of all who stand by it supporting it by subscriptions, time and. efforts. Is it notacredit to the cities of Norwalk change exists?” - The managers feel grateful for the fourteen new names added to the mem- bership, and it is their desire that the list should increase still more. ‘ _———-———-—‘-*’-————- The City Bicycle Record.
