Milton S. Littlefield, who says hsaia president af the Jaekson &. Tallahassee Railroad Company, was arrfttJgfled in the Tombs Police Court yesterday by Detectives IoyJe and Wijl&rd of police headquarters. Philip Kegler, a real estate broker, whose, Qffice is in Temple Court, Beeknian aud Nassau streets, was also, a prisoner. Detective DoyJe.told Justice Kilbreth that Kegler bad E&ssed a worthless check upon Ernest Tener, proprietor of the Cosmopoli tan -restaurant, at No. 28 New street. Kegler claimed that he had received tbo check from Littleneld in payment of a debt of $25. The check was drawn on the Bsnk of Deposit, Lib erty and Nassau streets, to the 'order of II. S. Littlefield, and was signed "H. 8. laeardsley." When the check was presented at the bank it was pro nounced a forcerv br the bank of- 1 - - "T- ctals; Keerler indurnanUT denied anr in tention of frand, adaMHi tnat he bad received the check in (rood faith fron Littlefield. The latter was ar rested at the office of the railroad company, No. 45 Broadway. Little neld was loud in his protestations that an outrage had been committed, and proclaimed that such men as Stewart L. Woodford and other prom inent men were his friends and could vouch for him. When asked as to how he received the check he said that JJeardsley, who is a resident of New Jersey, gave it to him in settle ment of a debt. He could give: no definfte information as to what town in New Jersey Beardsley lived in, nor where he could be found.- "I am president of a Florida rail road and owner of a large interest in coal and iron mines in Pennsylvania," Littlefield said to Justice Kilbreth, "and if von will srive me twenty min utes I will obtain sufficient money to ; redeem the check." This seemed to please Dreher, who offered to withdraw the complant if Littlefield made good the money. Justice Kilbreth, however, demurred at this style of doing business. . "Of wnat railroad did you say you were President 1" he asked. "I am president of the Talahassee & Jacksonville Road in Elorida,' and I own a residence in Morristown, N. J.," answered Littlefield. 'Several years ago." Justice Kil breth said, "I remember that a. presi dent of a . defunct railroad down in that locality forged a large number of bonds,, Your name strikes me as be ing very similar to the name of that railroad president. Are you the same man T "Oh,i no;" Littlefield replied, wav ing his hands excitedly; "tnat was in Alabama, not Florida. "Oh !" said the Judge; "I think it was in Dlonda. tie, however, pa roled Littlefield in the custody of Detective Willard for half an hour to rocure the money. When Littlefield eft the court Kegler told Justice Kil- Dretn tnat Jjittleneia was an ex-LJon- derate general, having commanded a battery at Hilton Head,: near Charleston, during the war. At the conclusion of tne naif hour Littlefield returned with $25,. which he paid Dreher, who withdrew his complaint.; The case was dismissed. i HA.HGED Far (fie Harder ( Wem an; Special to the News and Observer. ! . WrasToH, July iy. Will Houston was handed here this afternoon at 2 o'clock for the killing of Kate Cosby last May. The exe cution was. public and was witnessed by several thousand persons. Houston slept well, last night, ate a beany breakfast this morning and met his death as cool y as a spartan soldier. The arrangement for carrying out the law was perfect and everything was done decently and in order to the credit of Sheriff Boyer and deputies. On the 21st day of May last, near ii win LiiT Many noon, in a, disreputable part oi our town, Will Houston met Kate Crosby and, without a word' of warning, shot her dead, the bullet 'passing directly through her heart. Houston, alter viewing his fatal work, sought imme diately to escape, but, lute an aveng ing nemesis, tne law pursued, tracked him down and took nun before a. jury of twelve ol his countrymen, who found him guilty of murder. On the loth day of May, at p. m , Judge Clarke sentenced him to be banged on tne zlst day or June. Soon after this a petition, signed by the bar I of Winston, was forwarded to Gov. Scales, asking him to com-' mute his sentence , to life imprison ment. jThe Governor, after examin ing into the matter and consulting with the trial Judge, decided that it was not a case in which executive clemehoy could be exercised, but de ferred his execution, however, until the 19th day of July. On j; Friday, e ening Rev. H. O. Lacy admihiBtered the right of bap tism tO;the condemned man, and in company with several ministers prayed iwith him. ; The ooutnern (Jnatauqua, near Atlanta, Ga., begins in earnest this week with every department full and comrlete.

PROCEEDINGS YESTERDAY SENATE AND HOUSE THK OatAT DKBATX OH THE TARIFF Z5SE0 OTHXB JfWS. By Telerraph to the New and Observer. . Wwhihtoh, July 19.

' "fVn ui uuusiana, and, on .motion of Mr. Blackburn the credentials were taken: from the 'table and placed on .file. The resolution was laid on the table. The Senate then at 2 p. m., went into executiue session. The doors were reopened at 5 30 and the Senate ad journed. The Senate in secret session today -spent three hours considering the nomination of Samuel J. Bigelow to ' be district attorney of New Jersey. ' Senators Edmunds Evarts and some others opposed the confirmation vig- orously 'and it was rejected by a : large majority. The Fuller case comes up. tomorrow as unfinished business of "the secret session. HOUSE. On motion of Mr. Dibble, of South Carolina, t he Senate amendments were concurred in to the House bill author izing the condemnation of land for sites for pnblic buildings. Mr. OJSeilL, of Missouri, asked unanimous consent that Tuesday. July 31st, be set apart for the consid- eration of bili8 from the committee on labor. Mr. Oates, of Abalbama, said that he would object unless it was agreed that the bill prohibiting transporta tion of convict-made goods from one State to another should not be called. Mr. O'Neill declined to be fettered in this manner, and, withdrawing his request, offered a resolution, which was referred to the committee on rules, assigning the 31st of July for the consideration of labor bills. The House then went into commit tee of the whole (Mr. Springer in the chair) on the tariff bill, the pending amendment being that offered by Mr. Mills, ol xexas, restoring tne present rates of duty on tobacco. Mr. Luollette, of Wisconsin, thought the motion made by Mr.. Mills was not actuated by any sympa thy for the domestic tobacco industry. The amendment was offered not be cause of any consideration for the in dustry or because farmers wanted protection, but because the amend ment was necessary to help the Dem ocratic party to carry Connecticut.) Mr. Baker, of Illinois, made a brief argument against the bill" in its en tirety, declaring that the question in volved was whether the' industrial people of America should be placed on a higher or a lower plane. Mr. Mill's amendment was then agreed to without division. On motion of Mr. Spinola, of New York, the present rate of duty was re stored on pipes, pipe bowls and . all smokers' articles not otherwise pro vided for. The next paragraph taken up for consideration was that .impos ing a duty of 30 per cent ad valorem on bonnets, hats and hoods composed of hair, whalebone or any other vegc table material. Mr- Lehlbach, of New Jersey, moved to increase the tduty to fifty per cent, stating that he did so in the interest and at the request of the hat ters of his district. Motion lost,'- 72 to 84. Mr- Lienibacn tnen onered an amendment fixing the rate of duty on pearl buttons at four cents per line per gross, English measurement. Many of the pearl buttons, he said, imported into this country came from Austria!, where they were one of the products of convict labor. If the rate of duty was not increased the domes tic pearl button industry would be wiped out. me amendment was re jected, G7 to 83 Mr. Springer, of Illinois, having called Mr. Dockery, of Missouri to the chair, addressed the committee in regard to the bill, lie stated for the information of members that twenty- seven evening sessions had been con sidered in general debate, one hun dred and fifty-one speeches having been made, lne debate under the five-minute rule had consumed up to today twenty-eight days or one hun dred and twenty hours. The debate would be remembered as the most re markable which had ever occurred in parliamentary 'history. It had awak ened a lively interest not only in our own country but throughout civiljza tion, and hencetortn, as long as our government should endure, it would be known as the great tariff debate of 1888- He then proceeded to argue in support of the free wool feature of the bill. ' Pass this bill, be said, and a new era of industrial prosperity would dawn on us. Factories would spring up in the States of the Sputh and) West and in tne Territories. Those already in existence in all parts of the country would run on full time and increase their plant from year to year Instead of importing into this country forty nvllion dollars' worth of woolen goods, as was done in 187, we would soon bo able to supply the home market with woolen goods and export immense quantities to other nations. Vunn this bill. Let it become the law of the land. It would result in good to all. People would be better fed, better clothed and would live in better house and sleep in better beds. In after years when the full measure of its countless blessings should have been realized the generations then living and those which might come after them would rise up and invoke the blessings of Providence upon those who originated and upon those who gave to it the force plause. ) Mr. Dingley, of Maine, argued that where imported articles came into competition with articles produced in this country the consumer did not pay the tax He ridiculed Mr. Spring er's arguments and declared that the tariff on wool and wool ens ha 1 stimulated manufacturers of woolm goods and had held the home mirket for our producers. The tempor-y effect of putting wool on thrtfree list might be to depreciate thel price of woolen goods to the ex Un of he reduction of du y but whftn ho no manufao ore were de stroyed, then th price would again rise, and ultimately the consumer would have to py more than ft pres ent. He then proceed I m a gen eral wav to denounce th Mills bill as slaughtering every fariniug; interest in the North whi'e leaving a duty of 68 per cent on sugar and Up per cent on rice. Mr. Batterworth, of Ohio, said thai , on "on" the ' bill. It " would mm' pass the Ho rise against the protest of every Republican rep-esentative with one or two exefptions. It would receive the support of nvery Demo crat in the Mouse with very few ex ceptions. He desired to call atten tion to the fact that no industry to be affected by this measure had been accorded a hearing; that no working man whose wages were to be affected by the reduction had been vouch safed a hearing ; that no interest af fected by the bill had been accord-d an audience, lne bin naa been framed and passed without consultation with those who rep resented the vast and grow ing interests of the country. It was not pretended that this so called revision of the tariff had been made except from the standpoint of those who favored a tariff for revenue only, which was another name for free trade. So far from stopping the increase of the surplus, importations would be increased under the opera- t'n of the Mills bilL In November next the people would sit in judg ment on the position occupied by each side of the House. If it was the desire of the people that the tariff should be reduced from the stand point of protecting the indus tries of the country they would transfer the majority from the Democratic to the Republican side of the House. If it was their purpose to strike down the great industries of the country, they would I: retain the majority on the other side of the central aisle, l ne bill would be passed on Saturday and would then go to the Senate. There he trusted it would be referred to a com mittee which would sit during the holdings in order that the great inter ests which were to be affected by the measure might be heard; in order that the tariff might be revised in the light of experience and in order that on the assembling in December Congress might respond to the judg ment of the people as shown by their votes in November. After a short and sharp exchange of courtesies between Messrs. Reed and Springer the discussion and con sideration of the bill in committee of the whole closed and upon motion of Mr. Mills it was reported to the House with a favorable recommenda tion, amid hearty applause from the Democrats. Its further consideration was then postponed until 11.30 Sat urday a. m. Mr. Dibble of south Carolina, as a 'question of privilege, called up the Ailentown pubho building but and the President's Veto message. The report of the committee was read re commending tnat tne bill be passed notwithstanding the veto. The House refused to pass the bill over the veto. Yeas 141, uays 84, not the necessa ry two-thirds vote in tne affirmative. The House then, at 4 20, took a re cess until 8 o clock, the evening ses sion to be for the consideration of bills reported from the committee on military omcers. A Kir In Wllltamiton.

In New York, on Thursday last, Surrogate Ransom allowed the Duch ess of Marlborough the extra $100,- 000 out of the income of her late hus- hand's estate, for which she petitioned three days before her marriage to the duke. The executors did not make any opposition to the grant, but merely asked the court to make the order in such a way that they would be protected against any future con tingencies. The contest of the will of Louis C. Hamersley is now pend ing in the general term of the Su preme Court of New York. One of the counsel interested in the case, said recently, that it was a singula! fact that the Duchess, who is endeavoring to have the will sustained, would be a gainer by its invalidity. If the will should be broken, then instead of merely havine the income of tbei es tate for life, with no power over its disposal, she would get her widow s rights, and would have the absolute disposal of about $1,000,000.

The 2 30 train on the Seacoast Railroad yesterday afternoon carried rour coachjes full of visiting and resi dent people to the Sound and the Hammocks. The excursion coach of the road was filled,with the Wilming ton Light Infantry, in parade uni form, under command of Capt. Dan iel, this being the first company in camp. At the Front street and Princess street depots there were great gath erings of admirers, whilst on arrival at the Sound the first symptoms of tne great enthusiasm which charac terized the later arrivals, was made manifest. Here busses, carriages and carts were arrayed along the pike, curving southward from the sta tion, and crisp petticoats rustled re freshingly in the stirring breeze culiar Jojiiffh iIa L IhtJrt vjuooo of every description meantime flitted to and fro between the camps and station. Interest and expectation ran high and at every toot of a whistle there was a general break towards the station. So the afternoon waned, while in camp all was bustle. Col. Olds fairly fluttered in responding to the demands made upon him. The arrival and installation of the officers in command was the chief feature of the afternoon; whilst the issuance of camp supplies gave a business-like appearance to the City of Tents. At about 6 o'clock the station and the adjoining grounds of Capt. Man ning were alive and brilliant with uni formed male figures and bewitching ly attired ladies. A few minutes past 6 a locomotive whistle announced the approach of the first section of the first troop train from the Carolina Central, which shortly after crept up in dignified measure and stopped its eleven coaches of brave soldier boys juBt short of the trestle. Just in its rear came the second section from the same road with six coaches full of troops and baggage. These seven teen coaches brought twelve compa nies, averaging forty men each; and were the following: Maxton Guards, Lumber Bridge Light Infantry, Fay etteville Independent Light Infantry, Guilford Guards, Forsyth Riflemen, Monroe Light Infantry, Hornet's Nest Riflemen, Southern Stars, Dallas Light Infantry, Iredell Blues, Ad vance Guards and Granville Grays. The arrival of these twelve compa nies produced a stir and bustle that was confusing to everybody who hadn't business in hand. Piles of lug gage on both sides of the track made eminent the sand hills which form the roadbed, and it was all Mr. W. II. Chadbourn, of .the Seacoast Road could do to clear the track for the re turn of the troop trains. This, how ever, was finally done, and the two trains retarnel to the city, quickly followed by the regular Seacoast train, which should, fcy schedule, have left the Hammocks at 6.15. Great credit is due, however, to the man agement for the careful handling of such heavy traffic With such precious freight. Waiting at the Vilmington & Wel- don depot there were two sections of the troop tram over that rou.e, with Lfourteen companies, which went down to camp immediately. These compa nies were the Goldsboro Rifles, Samp son Light Infantry, Edgecombe Guards, Washington Light Infantry, Pasquotank Rides, Scotland Neck Mounted Riflemen, Warren tonGuards, Durham Light Infantry, Reidsvllle Light Infantry, Reidsville Rifles, Asheville Light Infantry and Rich field Rifles. These companies all went into camp at an ewly hour, and the full fledged encampment blazed in glory last night. Encampment 3ote. Wilmington Messenger, mil.

The drum major of the Fourth was immense in bear-skin head-gear and red trousers. ." The manly appearance and gentility of both officers and men is univer sally remarked. The regiments buckled down to work at 4 p. m., most of the troops in fatigue uniforms. At least fifty per cent of the troops are in camp for the first time. But the guard mounting was excellent. The Second and Third were simul taneous in appearing for dress pa rade, though on opposite sides of the field. The Fourth was the firBt to take the ground for dress parade. Col. Anthony should be proud of his hand fome westerners. The heaviest company in camp is , the Edgecombe Guards, Third Regi ment. There are 53 rifles, 3 officers and 2 markers; total 58. The Rocky Mount Light Infantry arrived yesterday, and will go into camp today; two days before expect ed. It is a handsome company. Ttebatallion drills were hard work and were witnessed by hundreds. But the dress parade, an hour later, had upwards of a thousand spectators. burgeon-General rJaj wood had only two or three patient yesterday. Camp Pender hospital, however, is a good place to get sick in because it is so tidy and comfortable. To the measure of tinkling strains, decidedly Spanish in voluptuousness, the feet of gallant Guardsmen trip ped merrily in the big pavilion for two hours yesterday afternoon. Colonels Cotten, Jones, Glenn aud Anthony were each painstaking and successful in getting their battalions into shape. It requires ordinarily a week of hard work to get troops to "swing" together.
