HOUSE OF-REPRESENTATIVES.
- Washington, Msy 15. On motion of
Mr. Bright, of Tennessee, a bill was passed
making appropriations for the paymeot of
claims .reported allowed by the commis
sioners of claims.
Mr. Stevenson, of Illinois, asked leave to
offer a resolution declaring it to be the
sense of the House that no final adjourn
ment of this session of Congress should
occur until a law shall have been passed,
or a joint rule established, providing the
manner in which the electoral votes shall
be counted at the approaching Presidential
election. ,
Mr. Reed, of Maine, and Mr. Bland, of
Missouri, objected.
The Speaker announced that the order of
the House had set aside the session of to-day
for the consideration of reports from the
Committee on Education and Labor.
Mr. Gibson, of Louisiana, called up as a
question of privilege, the adjournment res
olution, and was recognized by the
Speaker.
Mr. Goode, of Virginia, raised the ques
tion of consideration, stating that his ob
ject was to call up the bill to regulate the
Chinese immigration, to enforce the eight
hour law, and to apply the proceeds of the
sale of public lands to the education of the
people. .
Mr. TownBhend, of Illinois, inquired
-whether it was in order to move to recom
mend the adjournment resolution.
The Speaker replied it was not, inasmuch
as the. motion bad been made and defeated
yesterday.
m the midst of a number of points of or
- der, and when .the House was in a good
deal of confus.on, Mr. O'Neill, of Pennsyl
vania, walking down the aisle, managed to
get in one of his characteristic little
speeches, to the effect that the adjourn
ment resolution had given more hope to
the hearts of the people than any legislation
which had been proposed, during the pre
sent session of Congress.
Mr.Townsend inquired of Mr. Gibson
whether he would allow, an extension of
time for debate, and on receiving a nega
tive answer expressed his hope that the
demand far the previous question would
be voted down.
Mr. Buckner, of Missouri, asked leave to
offer an amendment providing that the
House-take a recess from now until No
vember 8tb.
Mr. Gibson refused to yield, and the
previous question was then recorded 106
to 63 and the main question ordered.
The thirty minutes debate was then pro
ceeded with, after which the concurrent
resolution for adjournment on the 31st
inst., was agreed to yeas 121, nays 90.
Mr. Goode moved that the House pro
ceed to the consideration of reports from
the Committee on Education and Labor.
Mr. Reagan antagonized this with the
interstate commerce bill, but Goode was
victorious by a vote of 72 to 71.
Pending a vote by yeas and nays the
House at 3 25 adjourned.

Sunbuby, May 15. The scene at Milton
this morning beggars description. Nothing
remains but the black and desolate ruins of
a once prosperous town. Tbe people spent
last night in bouses that were left near the
rail works and planing mills. The entire
number of buildings destroyed is six hund
red and sixty-six. Only two places of
business escaped destruction. The vaults
ancT books of the banks were uninjured
The people of the town are almost entirely
destitute. Provisions are pouring into the
town from the surrounding country. The
body of the strange man who was burned
lastjught was identified this morning as
Mr. Augey. tie was eignty-rive years old.
and was attempting to save the stable of
the poor bouse. Mrs. Btncklan died during
the night irom ingot, l be , nre originated
from sparks from a saw mill attached to the
car works.
Pheladelfhia, Msy 15. At a public
meeting held at the Mayor's office at noon
to-day, in behalf of the sufferers by tbe
fire at Milton, an urgent appeal for contri
butions was made. Subscriptions received
amounted to $3,280. Another meeting will
be field Monday.
'Milton, May 15. This place has been
crowded with people all day. The scene
at noon was heart-rending. Hundreds ga
thered around the planing mill, where food
was distributed by tbe Relief Committee.
Several car loads of provisions arrived du
ring the day from Harrisburg, Williams
port and other places. Two hundred and
fifty tents were forwarded by Gov. Hoyt
this afternoon, and they were erected in
the fields adjoining the town. Car loads
of people went to Watsonton to spend tbe
nigbt. Food was again distributed at the
planing mill this P.M., and the persons who
were worth thousands of dollars yesterday,
appeared to accept charity relief this eve
ning, at 5 o'clock. This evening intense
excitement was caused by two deliberate
. attempts to rekindle the fire. Some one
placed a bundle of rags saturated with
coal-oil at the back door ot a wooden house,
the only one remaining in town, and when
. discovered it had already set fire to tbe
house. Another attempt was made to fire
tbe Catowissa depot, in tbe southern part of
town. As soon as these discoveries were
made the people were in a frenzy. ATe
ward of $600 was offered immediately for
the apprehension of tbe incendiaries.
Much confusion ensued ; the people seem
ing to become wild from fer and excite
ment, and many whose property was saved
yesterday packed up their goods again,
prepared for flight in case of another out
break of the flames. CoL Stead, of Wil
liamsport, with two companies of the
Twelfth Regiment, will arrive to-night.
Dispatches are being read from different
. sections of the country offering aid.

TUB WEST POINT MYSTERY.
'i
VFhlttaiter saspecis Cadets Blake and
McDonald of tbe Ootrase ais ex
amination Yesterday.
tBy Telegraph to tbe Merniac Star.t ' .
West Point, N. Y., May 15. In the
Whittaker investigation to-day Whittaker
was placed on the stand. In reply to ques
tions he said he had beard before he came
to tbe Academy of the way in which col
ored cadets were treated. The prospect
was not encouraging, but the witness said
he had in some respects been treated better
than he had expected . He had no clue to
the perpetrators of tbe outrage. He now
had some 'suspicion of cadets Blake and
McDonald. He suspected Blake on ac
count of the manner in which he treated
him a few days before the outrage.' He
had put on Blake's cap by mistake one day,
on coming 'out of tbe Academy, and Blake
was very angry about it . He also suspected
Blake because of the scornful manner in
which Blake moved out of the way one day
when he (Whittaker) was leaving tbe com
missary. Question Do you think this scorn was
sufficient to lead a man to mutilate another,
and run the risk of being dismissed from
the Academy of the United States, and of
being confined in tbe penitentiary ?
Answer I knew a sensible man would
not do it, but know some men would be so
debased and so biased that they could be
led to such an act.
Whittaker said be did not entertain these
suspicions at the time of bis previous exam
ination. They were an afterthought. He
had these suspicions for some time. He
suBpected McDonald from tbe fuss he had
with him when tbey were plebs. Witness
admitted he had had a knowledge of this
fuss before the investigation began, but
since his previous testimony he had thought
the matter all over, including his treatment
by various cadets, and be had now reached
the conclusion just given. He had seen
some evidence of aversion towards him
upon the part of several others, bat not like
that of Blake.
All tbe experts examined agree with
Soutbwortb, the last expert, that the differ
ent specimens of handwriting of Whittaker
given to them by tbe Recorder, are the
same as that in the note of warning; also,
that two pieces of paper containing Whit
taker's specimens of writing, were torn or
cut from a letter sheet on which Whittaker
had began a letter to his mother.

Loxdon, May 15. A boiler explosion
occurred this afternoon at Birchett's Hall

taken to a hospital, some of whom are in a

The Berlin correspondent of tbe limes,

nunareas ot parishes are without priests.
and no new ones can be nominated until
the Bishops are willing to Bubmit tbe names
of candidates to the Government. It is
therefore believed in Government circles
that tbe Pope is willing to give in, as be
fears that the power of the Papacy in
Europe might be shaken by a longer delav.
To re-establish this power the Pope is said
to be willing to make for the moment some
sacrifices, and also some important conces

The .Alliypiii(t,iuMgt
account iot the recent afiocklhg accident
during an amateur theatrical performance
in that city, by which $ wo young ladies lost
their lives and several others were severely
injured, makes special mention of the
heroic conduct of three ot the performers,
Messrs. Q. a Barnum, T..F. Huston- and
Prof. AgosUni, the latter a. former .well-
known resident of this city, through whose
efforts tbe Aite of one of the young ladies
was saved, after being completely shrouded
in flames.' In commenting upon the noble
conduct ot these and others who took an
active part in saving the lives of tbe im
perilled young ladies, the above mentioned
paper says: , r-
"Tbe reporter esteems it an honor to
write the names of such noble spirits .as
Olmstead. King, Agostini, Huston, Bart
num. Frierson and Hill, whose heroic con
duct in risking their own lives Jor others
has in it the element of the true sublime.
All of these gentlemen received bad burns
about tbe ringers. Those oi Jf ror. Agostini
are very severe, the fingers of each hand
being drawn tin in a most painiui manner.
He is a perfect little hero, though, and told
the reporter that be was willing to suffer,
and, if necessary, to die in such a good
cause.'

A friend who has just returned from

that there is an old hickory tree at Carolina

never been known to put forth its buds
until tbe la3t of the cold weather was gone
This season not a sign of a bud had ap
peared on it until about the 7th of this
month, whilst all the other trees were out
in full foliage. This tree, our friend states,
is looked upon by all tbe old inhabitants as
a perfect weather indicator to tbe extent
above mentioned.

Whiskeys. Brandies, Brandy Peaches, and the like
you have for sale in such amazing quantities, will
now reconcile me to the dangers of a too careless
Intimacy with your Sample Rooms. I had a curious
adventure there on my last visit. It was after li
o'clock, every thing perfectly still; the policemen
even had gone home. Happening to pass by your
store. I saw a prodigious stir among the bottits
and shelves on the eounters; the spirits yea keep
imprisoned in glass and tin appeared to be pos
sessed, and were whispering together and ioetting
each other, as though they intended an outbreak.
Now and then I heard a champagne cork pop, while
the rest giggled. Suddenly the store was illumina
ted, and - the jars and bottles sliding down to tbe
floor, arranged themselves in family groups and got
to dancing. There were
13,000 English Pickles, all sizes aad kinds, from
Onions, sweet scented, and Gherkins, crisp and
green, to sour Cucumbers, proud and seedy at
witches;
. 003 Cans of Milk, in blue and silver;
17.0C0 Preserved Fruits, in family iars.of Quince,
Limes, Cloves, Apples, Plums, &c. ;
50,000 Champagne in bottles, marching by pla
toons of twelve;
15.000 Bottles of Whiskey, jolly as parsons, run
ning loose in spite of bnngs and coras, and light
and frisky.
One of these tried to catch and kiss me, bat the
scamp popped me in the eye and laid me oat cold,
with a bruise from which I have not yet recovered.
Until you give me a guaranty I will not suffer again
by indulging my preferences for the ; roceries or
