Mr. Hunton of Virginia Addressed the Senate In Its Favor. NIGARAGUAN CANAL BILL. Its Friends Rained Against 3 Proposition to Adjourn the Senate Until Monday and Defeated It—The Routine ‘Vorl: of the House. WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. ~Ev‘erything was very quiet about the senate today, and but little interest seemed to be taken in the proceedings, either by the senators or the spectators. . There were reports from various com- mittees, introduction of bills and petitions. Mr. Hunton (Va) then moved to take up the bill for the establishment of a uni- versity of the United States at Washington. Mr. -Hale (Rep, Me.) objected to the consideration of the bill at this time, but suggested that it be referred to the calen- dar under a rule of the senate, where it could be debated in some way “commen- surate'with its importance. ” Mr. Hunto‘n insisted, however, that be had given notice Of his contemplated action ,- _ and addressed the senate on the bill. = “ , Mr. Blackburn. moved that when the - senate adjourned today it be to meet on Monday. Then the friends of the Nicara- gua canal bill rallied, and the motion was beaten—23 to 22. ~ The Senate Rules. The meeting of the senate committee on rules, which was held today, was not pro— ductivc of results. Senator Gorman was not present, and the other members were of Opinion that there should be no action on so important a question in the absence ' .of any of their number. There was a more or less general but at the same time guarded expression of views on th part of these present. -~ Senator Blackb , chair— ma'ii of the committee, intimated that he was willing to be controlled in his action by the wishes Of a majority of the commit- tee, and Senator Aldrich stated that he on b there should be a general revision thg es. He s'ug ested that permission should be asked of e senate for the com- mittee to sit ' during the congressional re- cess, after March 4 next, for the purpose of giving attention to the entire question. The committee adjourned with the under- standing that another meeting would be called next Wednesday. In the House. Mr. Brown (Dem., Ind.) chairman of the elections committee, at the opening session of the house today gave notice that the election case of Williams versus Settle has been postponed until Jan. 15, and then without further preliminary bus see the .house went into committee of t whole for . her consideration of the urgent de- ficien appropriation bill. The pending amendment was that of Mr. Henderson gRepq Is.) toreduce the ap- proprlation of 0 50,000, for special pension exmniners to $125, 000. The amendment Was debated under the fin Minute rule. Mr. 0mmbs(13m., N. - Y.) declared he had investigated the efiect of the proposed reduction at the pension , ‘ that he loaned Captain Murphy 3350, was office this morning, and he had ascertained that it would in the course of the next six months, impede the adjustment of 8,000 cases. Of these 95 per cent, he hadbeenassured by the commissioner of pensions, were meritorious. Messrs. Hicks (Rep, Pa), Livingston (Dem., Ga), Lacey (Rep, 13.), Blngham éRep, Pa), Dingley (Rep, Me), Bynum Dem, Ind. ), Grosvenor (Rep, 0.) and Outhwaite (Dem., 0.) also participated in the debate. Mr. Henderson (Rep, Ia.) denied Mr. Bynum’s imputation that his motion was not made in good faith. If the administration of the pension office was friendly to the old soldier, he asked why were over $28,000,000 appropriated last year for pensions unexpended and the ap- propriation for this star chamber special examining proceeding increased from $225,000 to $500,000 per annum? Mr. Henderson’s amendment was lost—59 to 88. The committee then rose and reported the bill to the house with a favorable rec- ommendation. The previous question was ordered, and Mr. Cockran (Dem., N. Y.) then moved to recommit the bill with in- structions to strike out the appropriation for the collection of the income tax. This was lost—49 to 168. Prominent Erie Man Missing.

The Futile Effort of a. \Voman to Have Disorderly Houses Suppressed—The ' Brutality of the Police—Some other Facts Developed. NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—Senators Pound and Bradley were the only members of the Lexow committee present when today’s sessibn was begun at it o’clock. Mr. Gofi’ came in soon after. Mr. Moss began by giving the percentage due the police pen- sion fund from rewards given to officers for the last five years as follows: 1889, 866; 1890, $96; 1891, $48; .1892, $223; 1893, $5. The law is that all rewards shall be reported, and Mr. Moss’ claim’ is that very few are. The first witness called was John J. Ferguson, who said that on ThankSgiving day he bought two crabs at the corner of Forty-fourth street and Eighth avenue. One Of them was bad, and he demanded his money back. While he was disputing with the fishman Officer Bambrick came up and struck him in the mouth, knocking out three teeth. He was not arrested. Could Get No Sabisfaction.‘ Following him came Mrs. Kate Mona- han of 247 West Seventeenth street. She testified as to two alleged disorderly houses adjoining her residence. The lessee of these houses is a Mrs. Giles, and Dr. John A. B. Wilson has tried to get her evicted. Mrs. Monahan 'said that she had appealed in va to Police Captain Donohue, Super- intendent Byrnes and Justice Hogan. Hogan told her to go home. Then Mrs. Mon went to Justice Talntor, who sent her k to Justice Hogan. The lat- ter finally issued a warrant for Mrs. Giles, and J ustioe Hogan promised that he would do something in the matter. "Mrs. Giles, however, was undisturbed, so Mrs. Monahan went again to Superintend- ent Byrnes’ office, with equally futile results. After consulting with Assistant District Attorney Osbofne, Mrs. Monahan saw Mr. God and then visited Inspector McAvoy. ' “What did he say?” “He told me that I had no cause for complaint and told me to get out. While I was talking with him Captain Donohue came in. I didn’t go out and called the captain and said to him that I ought not to be treated in that way. ” After promises all around that Mrs. Giles would be dispossessed, which were not fulfilled. Mrs. Monahan saw Mr. Jer- ome and tried to see Captain Donohue, who avoided her. Mrs. Giles still lives at 245. “You have seen the women who fre- quent the house and are satisfied that they are disorderly characters P" “Yes, Sir.” “You have seen mcn coming out of the houses” “Yfli, w. m Buyer's Loan to Murphy. Etienne Bayer, who testified yesterday recalled: He said he remembered that Cap- tain Murphy told him the money was for the purpose of paying the interest on some notes. He denied that he knew a fund had been raised from disorderly houses for Captain Murphy that he might pay for his transference. An unkempt individual named Terence Leonard of 11 Hamilton street, with a bandaged head, took the stand and stated that he had been “done up” by one Den- nls Healey. “Is Henley a politician?” “Well, he keeps a saloon.“ “And you think that is synonymous?” “Yes, sir.” , The “doing up” occurred a week ago Sunday morning, at 4 o’clock, in the sa- loon. Leonard went to the Tombs, and J ustice Grady only gave him a summons, which he was to serve himself. But he couldn’t. So he went to Inspector Williams. “Williams pushed me out of the room and told me I had no business to be out at that time in the morning. Then Iwent back to the Tombs, and Justice Grady told me he could 'nbt issue a warrant. ” Thomas A. Kenny, a policeman con— nected with the Nineteenth p‘réclnct and now detailed on special duty at O’Neill’s. testified that he had received no presents from the firm and didn’t know whether the firm paid his salary to the department or not. He was detailed to the duty by Inspector. McLaughlin. Mr. Goff took up the examination at this point. . “Well, you have arrested many of these women. Did you arrest a woman named Clara with whom you were drinking one morning, at 3 o’clock in a saloon on Sixth avenue?” “No. " . Captain Allaire, ex-Captain Doherty and Rev. Dr. McDonald of Brooklynwere visitors, and by this time Senators Lexow and O'Connor had arrived. Charged ‘Vlth Murder. William S. Muxlow, an expressman of 1287 Third avenue, the next witness, said that several years ago he and his father were arrested by Wardman Campbell on a charge of murder, which was false. , | “On arriving at the court Campbell told my father in my presence that he could get him off without a trial for $500. He said he had to fix it with the captain and could get my father discharged without- any trouble. My father refused to give up the money and was afterward tried and honorably acquitted of the charge. Camp- bell, however, did all he could after the refusal to pay the money to try to have my father convicted, but he did not succeed.” Stephenson W’ill Not Talk. NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—Ex-Captain Ste- phenson of the police force, who was con- victed of bribery last night. when seen in the Tombs today, refused to be interviewed. An Indian Murderer Lynched.

In a mo- ment she uttered a. cry, and exclaiming “It’s a tramp, and he is coming in here. 0, dear, what will I do?” beat a hasty re- treat into the interior of the kitchen. Presently, however, she grew bolder, ' and returning again, looked at the in- truder, who had now turned inthrough the:gateway, and was approaching the house. Soon he was so near that the young lady caught sight of an open, pleasant countenance. and, growing 'still bolder, stepped into the doorwayvto meet him. He came up slowly, and lifting a tattered hat, said: f .. I "Miss, will you pardon me, but as ‘I have eaten nothing since yesterday morning, I am as hungry as a bear, and should like something to eat. It’s hard- er for me to ask than it is for you to give, and I know you won’t refuse me.” . Miss Alice, with all her fears, had a kind heart; and seeing that the tramp’s haggard face bore eloquent testimony to what he said, she bade him be seated, and hurried away in quest of food. In a. few moments she returned with a gener- ous bowl of mush and milk, and gave it to the stranger. He thanked her warmly and fell at once to eating it with the eagerness of a. hungry man. As he ate, the girl, while pretending to read, sat and watched him closely. He was tall, and broad-shouldered, his dress,- though frayed and tattered, was not dirty, and his whole appearance gave evidence of better times. He seemed to grow restless under her furtive but earnest glances, and, flushing deeply, was about to speak, when she broke out suddenly: "What is your name?” “Never mind that,” he replied rather bitterly, somewhat startled by the earn- estness of . the girl’s manner. “Perhaps it would be better if I never had one.” “Well, then, Mr. Tramp, how old are you?” “Twenty-three, stranger. “How long have you lived this kind of life?” ‘ “Nearly three years.” “What led you to it?” “What has sent thousands of better follows to the, dogs—wine and women,” was the answer. “Have you a. mother?” “My mother, miss,” said' the young man, sadly, “died when I was a child, and I have no near relatives now liv- ing.” miss,” replied the reform?” , help him and everybody is dead set against him?” was thedog'ged answer. “When you are once down :inathe mire, it’s hard'work to ‘climb, especially when there’s no one but stands ,readyto kick you back again instead of landings. help- ing hand. . 1 . . -. f: 3 “But I am ready to help yam”. - “Yours, miss, are the first e'nCouraging words I have heard in many a day, and they sound pleasant to the ear; yet what could you do?” “I would do all I could for any one who wanted to do better.” “There’sa town in the East where I could get work and help, but it’s 1,700 miles away, and I have no money with and looked wistfully at the railroad which ran through the neighboring field. “How much would you need to reach this place you speak of?” “Twenty dollars would do it, but that, to a man who can’t muster ten cents, is a fortune.” He ceased speaking, but Alice had dis- appeared, and through the half-open door of the door he heard the rustling of gar- ments and the click of tiny boot heels as she ran up the stairs. A moment later she returned again and sat upon the doorstep, holding in her hand a small pocketbook. At the sight of this the young man broke out earnestly: “Really. miss, I did not think that you would pay heed to what I said. It was idle talk.” . “Oh, no, it wasn’t. Besides, I like your appearance, and want to help you to do better. Here are three 310 gold pieces; they will take you where you want to go, and you can pay them back if you want to when you are able. Now, please take them, for I don’t need them. And promise me, too, that you will try and do better.” , , . The tramp blushed deeply, recalled for a moment before the outstretched hand of the girl, while a look of pain came over his face; but at last he said: “I will take what you ofler me on cer- tain conditions. You must give me your address. I know you don’t live here, and accept my word of honor, it may be worth something, even if it is a tramp’s, that the loan shall be paid with the first money I earn.” The girl drew out a blank card, and hastily scribbling a few words, thrust it with the gold pieces into the reluctant hand of the stranger. “There, take them and do the best you can.” “I will promise you,” was the reply. The girl had now arisen and was wait- ing for her guest, who arose and stood beside her, to take his leave. Drawing a band of gold from his little finger, he saidi . “Miss—Miss Leneant, I have a favor to ask of you; will you wear this ring till I come for it?” She made no answer, but silently held out her hand to receive the ring. The tramp had caught sight of a rosebud at her throat, and now asked: “Will you please give me that as a parting gift?” She took the flower from its place and gave it to him. , “Now, go,” she said, “or you will be too late.” He caught up her hand, kissed it, and murmuring: “You will hear from me if I live,” turned away. At the gate he paused, and, with a wave of his hand, was gone. Alice Lencant watched him, as with long, swinging strides, so unlike his weary gait of half an hour before, he walked along the road which led to Emporia. , When her father and the farm peopl returned from their evening ride, she hastened to tell them all that had passed. The careful" housewife hurried away to see if there was not some of her silver— ware missing, while John Leneant, a prosperous lawyer, who an hour before had been put in the best of spirits by w “I thought as much; that explains ,‘ many things! But why don’t you, try- and = which to pay my fare,” and he paused LOBWALK G AZEI 1 E ' V “I have tried hard to :do better: but. .. what can a fellow do when no "onewilli hearing that an 'i __ punt s’iiit had been decided in favor ,i‘lfi. kfiaient, patted his daughter’s cheek‘,alid said, good humor. edly: , ' » i. . . “I wager that, you have made a losing investment, and I am certain if you were to run loose down here very long Iwould have to take the benefit of the bankruptcy law.” ' “But, papa,” very earnestly, “he was such a fine-looking fellow, and so young. and seemed so friendless. “Ah, my sly puss,” responded the father laughingly, “youth and good looks are dangerous things sometimes, and I am so sure that young scalawag will never be heard from that you can heme my promise for a check for five times the amount should he ever pay you.” “I shall hold you to your ofler,” she said, as she bent to kiss the old man good-night. But, notwithstanding her father’s jest and the gloomy forebodings of the housewife, Alice slept soundly, feeling conscious. that she had done a good deed. During the months that fol- lowed she often thought of her strange acquaintance, and wondered if he would ever come to claim the ring. Whenever her father questioned her about her “sinking investment”: she would reply, good-naturedly, that he would yet be called upon to draw the check. One-r De- cember morning, among the letters brought her by the postman, she found one directed in a strange hand. She broke the seal, when out dropped three crisp $10 bills, and with them a. slip of paper, on which was written: “God loveth the cheerful giver. time I shall call for my ring.” No name was signed, and the postmark was almost obliterated, yet she knew it was from her friend, the tramp, and felt that he was keeping his pledge. In the first moments of her surprise, a strange feeling of happiness stole over her, and then her eyes sparkled brightly as she thought of how she would demand of her father the promised check. But the time never came, for an hour later John Lane- ant was brought home dead; he had fallen ,a victim to apoplexy. * I I * 4! Four years had passed since Alice Len- eant had generously given the money which took another out of vsgabondage, and into a life of usefulness. Her father’s death had left her worse than penniless, and rather than be dependent on others, she had preferred to win her living as a saleswoman in one of the large art stores of an Eastern city. ' During all these years'she had never again heard from her stranger friend. Many of those whom she had once called friends had long since grown cold. and she had often found the road of poverty a hard and weary one, but she always, with the nobility of a Some true woman, put the bravest side out and did not complain. , It was Saturday night, the close of a. busy Week, and Alice was putting on her wraps preparatory to going home, when summoned to the counting room. With 'a heart beating fast from some vague fear, she entered the little room. “Miss Leneant, there’s a gentleman who 'wishes to speak to you. Mr. Wilmshurst, allow me to introduce Miss Leneant; Miss Leneant, Mr. VVilmshurst.” and so speaking, the clerk turned and again bent over his huge ledger. her veil the young lady noticed that the stranger was a tall, good-looking man, of perhaps eight and twenty, with flowing side whiskers and a. well-formed month, which, when he smiled, displayed teeth of dazzling whiteness. “I don’t know as you remember me, Miss Leneant," said the young man, fix- ing a pair of piercing black eyes upon her, “but I once met you under circum: stances that made me your lasting debtor. I have much to say to you of a private nature. “fill you allow me to see you home? ”We can talk on our way.” At the door of her lodging place she paused as if :c bid him farewell, but he seemed wait. 'g to follow, and so without furnished room. When they were seated, Mr. Wilmshurst said: “My errand with you, Miss Leneant, is quickly told. Four years ago a young man, .a drunken tramp, miserable and ragged, halted at a farmhouse near Em- poria, Kan., at which you were stop- ping. Do you remember the circum- stance?” “I do.” . “He asked for food; you gave him more, that which enabled him to become an .honest and temperate man. In parting he promised that he would never again touchliquor, and that with the help of God he would reform; and he gave you aring until he should come for it. Do you remember this, too?” “I think.I do,” said Alice, growing slightly nervous. “That tramp left the farmhouse a changed man. the promise he had mad to you, and ‘ though often strongly tempted, never, broke his pledge. The struggle was a hard one, but he persevered and at last conquered. Some weeks ago he started for the \Vest, once more to meet the young woman who had been more than a friend to him. He found that misfor- tune had overtaken her, and that her parents were dead, and that she had re- moved to a distant city.” The speaker paused a moment, and then continued: ' . “Miss Lcneant, I was that tramp, and in obedience to the promise made you four years ago have come back to claim my ring; but] will take it back only on' certain conditions.” “What are they?” “That she who now wears the ring will be mine also.” “Really, Mn—Mr. VVilmshurst, this is so sudden, so unexpected.” ‘ “Perhaps it is, but I will give you plenty of time to decide.” And he did. During the months that followed handsome Alice Leneant found so much to love in the ex-tramp that one evening in avoice low and tremu- lous, just loud enough for him who list- ened to hear, she said: “Carl—Mr. VVilms- hurst, I mean—l guess you can take your ring.” * . it ~X- -X- 1‘} The Cleveland saieswoman has now been Mrs. W’ilmshurst for several years.

Sadie Krantz the sixteen months old baby, of Jacob Krantz of Breaklynv was, smothered to death recently. The family cat, a. large black and white tom, 0111483 up and went to sleep 'on the baby’s 1800. as she lay half buried in cushions and- blankets in her carriage. When ~ the child’s mother caught the eat there,. about 4 o’clock in the morning, the baby was dead. ' ~ , ~, ' Mr. Krantz, who is the janitor of the " apartment house where he lives, came in a few minutes after ten o'clock Tuesday night and found the cat sleeping along. side the baby in the carriage, which was near the bed in his room, his wife occupy- ing the adjoining bedroom with another child. He drove the cat away after giving it a whipping. He told his wifejvho was . surprised that the cat should have got in the baby carriage, as she had been very careful not to let it on any of _ the beds. _. MI. Krantz went to bed after assuring himself that the baby was not harmed‘in any way. Just before he dropped to . sleep he felt a warm feeling at his feet, 1 and knew that the cat had jumped on the bed. Being very tired, he did not trouble himself to drive the animal away, as he knew the fire in the sitting room stove was out and that it must be cold on the floor. . ~ At 11:30, Bartier Fieldman, aboarder of the Krantzes, who sleeps with Mr. Krantz, came home, and striking a light, saw that the cat was sleeping alongside » the baby in the carriage. The baby’s face was perfectly free, and the infant breathed easily while the cat purred. He , looked at the pair a moment, thinking what a pretty sight it was, but a queer gleam in the cat’s eyes made him suspic- ious, as he had heard stories of cats suck- ing children’s breath, so he grabbed the animal by the neck, whipped it, and threw it into the kitchen, where it fell ‘ with a. great clatter among a lot of pans. He shoved the door leading into the kitchen shut as he had supposed, placed a chair against it to keep the cat out, and prepared for bed. Mr. Krantz was awakened by the clat- ter in the kitchen, and wanted to know what the racket was about. Upon being informed that the out had been found in the baby’s carriage again he sat up in bed and swore he would kill it. His boarder assured him that he had looked the cat out in the kitchen and told him to put ad the killing until the morning, so both men, being very tired dropped OK to sleep. 7 Mrs. Krantz, as she had a great deal of washing to do next day rose at 4 o'clock. Leaving the child she had slept with, she went into her husband’s room to 886 her baby and feed her. When Mrs. Krantz bent over the crib she saw in t1; di light the cat curled up where the 3%5g': head ought to have been. There W86 notp bit of baby’s face to be seen, and the $3.3 purred contentedly. She could see i. outlines of her child’s form under the bedclothes, and after shoving the-cat on the floor she lifted the child up. Although the body was yet ivarm, the n ,8 freenzy of grief she called her hfisb'a 6. while the cat ran into the sitting £00m and hid under the stove. Mr. Kgantz hurried next door for Dr. fkd'witz, while the distracted mother tr vain to resuscitate her baby by Chi?! or lit- tie bands and limbs.

He assured her, after , g at the baby, that she was indeed deltas, ' 0n hearing this verdict, :Mr. Krantz went to the sitting room to 160k 201' the cat. The animal seemed to know that vengeance was in store for big, for he kept Well under the stove, and (2 did only be driven out by a long poker. He was captured finally, and his brains (lashed out by the infuriated father, 139 then threw the body out of the win ow into the courtyard. The Irishman Said Good Bye.
