The full fnry of Saturday night's violent wind &nl rain storm was poured forth upon Phil adelphia. All night long the tempat raged and toward morning the rain turned to snow.

High gales prevailed along the coast and there are grave- fears of marine dis-v asters. .

PURCHASED BEFORE THE VOTE. He Says He Knows of So Silver Pool and tH Not Connected with a Lobby, but He Talked Silver Casu ally with the Senators The "News paper Rascals." W ashixotox, Jan. 24. The - special house committee charged with the sil ver investigation met again yesterday afternoon. LavidT. Littler, of Spring field, Ills., whom Senator Vest had named as the purchaser of silver, was examined. Mr. Littler said he had pur chased silver for himself and for Sena tor Cameron while the silver legislation was pending. He had bought between $40,000 and $50,000 worth of silver on his own account. He said he had bought a small amount of silver for Senator Cameron (about $100,000 worth). This was shortly after Littler had made his own investment and before the sil ver bill had passed the senate. He had never bought any silver for any other senator, representative or other govern ment official. , He had met Senator Cameron and talked with him about matters in gen eral, and during the conversation the subject of silver came up and he told the senator that he bad purchased silver and thought it was a good investment. He had also talked with Senator Vest Land with other persons about the.silver queBUon, uut uuuieu mat un uau imncu with these gentlemen with view, to encouraging them to purchase silver or to influence legislation with regard to it. The silver he purchased for Senator Cameron was in the form of exchange on Calcutta, the same us his own indi vidual purchas3. The witness denied attending any conference on the silver question while in Washington. Mr. Littler said that he was very much provoked by some of the published reports to the effect that he was in Washington to influence silver legislation and denounced theta as un qualified lies. Referring to the published statement that he had promised to come to Wash inpton and "show the rascals up," he said he might have made the statement but if he did he referred not to con gressmen, but to the newspaper men who were sending these rejports through out the country. He denied having any connection with, or knowing of any silver pool, and he did not: believe that one existed. His silver investment paid him between $0,000 and $7,000. Sena tor Cameron's gain, he thought, was be tween $1,000 and $1,300. Replying to a question he said that his acquaintance with Mr. Owenby (who gave the infor mation on which correspondent Stevens based his article in The St. Louis Globe Democrat) was limited and he did not know Owen byrs character. In" reply to a question as to whether he had asked Senator Cameron to let him purchase silver for him, or if Sen ator Cameron had come to him in con nection with the matter, Mr. Littler said that as he recollected it.the senator had come to him and said,'Dave,.I want you to buy me some silver." In conclusion the witness said that he talked to Senator Vest in the same man ner he had talked to others about silver, but while he might have expressed the opinion that silver would advance, he had never tried to induce any of them to Durchase silver. Washington, Jan. 26. Senator Cam eron has not vet asked to be heard by the silver pool investigating committee. Chairman Dingley said that if the com mittee had known that Senator Vest would incriminate Mr. Cameron by his testimony, it would have insisted on hearing him on the Saturday preceding the senatorial election at Harrisburg. President Harrison Condemned. Raleigh. N. C, Jan: 26. The caucus of the Republican members of the legis lature adopted resolutions condemning President Harrison's appointment of J. F. Payne, of this state, as Indian agent. The resolutions were sent to Washing ton, and state that Payne is the inot obnoxious man in the state to Repub licans, because while in the legislature he twice attempted to secure the enact ment by this state of the South Caro lina election law. A Farm Hand's Horrible Death from Hydrophobia. New YORK, Jan. 24. George Kendall, who came from Arlington. N. J., to the Chambers Street hospital last Wednes day suffering from hydrophobia, died at the hospital yesterday in terrible agony. He was conscious almost until the last, and passed away suddenly after a vio lent paroxysm. Nothing could be done to relieve him, as no soothing medicine could be forced down his throat. He Buffered for sixty hours what the doc tors say was the most excruciating agony that could afflict the human body. In his delirium he constantly imagined that he was being attacked by wild beasts, and his cries for relief rang through the hospital. Kendall was a farm handt employed on the Schuyler farm at Arlington. He had recently come from England and was a tall, muscular and healthy man. Two months ago he was bitten on the lower lip by a skye terrier which was a pet in the Schuyler family. -The wound was treated with the ordinary remedies and soon healed. Kendall for got all about it till last Sunday, when he tried to drink a glass of ginger ale at a tavern, and found that he could not wallow it on account of a contraction of the muscles of the throat. A suspi cion of the cause' of the trouble then en tered his mind, but he simply told his companions that something must have lodged in his throat. Next morning he started to wash bis face, but the sight of the water threw I him into a paroxysm. On Wednesday, i by the advice of a friend, he came to New .York and was admitted to the Chambers Street hospital. COXGItESSIONAIi RESUME. The Week's Work of the Fifty-first C'oiiKrttwi.
