OUTLINES.
In the Senate yesterday the resolution
to prevent the sale of spirituous liquors
in the Senate wing of the Capitol was
referred to the committee on rules; the
tariff bill was then taken up, and the
schedules relative to tobacco and agri
cult ural products acted upon; all pro
posed amendments were rejected, and
the paragraphs remain as they came
from the House; a call of the House was
necessary before it could proceed to
business, and then tactics were resorted
to in order to consume time; the Cannon
resolution, offered on Monday, relative
to revoking leaves of absence was
used as a means of consuming time,
when Mr. McAdoo, ot New Jersey,
heaped denunciation and ridicule upon
Mr. Cannon's statesmanship and his
torical knowledge and his love for the
farmer; the stormiest scenes of the ses
sion then ensued, Mr. Cannon and Mr.
McAdoo indulging ia. gross personal
epithets, which put the House in a per
fect uproar; other members were drawn
into the controversy, when hot words
were exchanged between Mr. Wilson, of
Washington, and Mr. Beckwith, of New
Jersey, both Republicans, the lie passed
and a blow given; quiet was finally re
stored, the Democrats all the while
thoroughly enjoying the spectacle Of a
family quarrel; after the rich scenes a
resolution was adopted for the arrest of
absentees, and revoking all leaves of ab
sence, except for sickness, and the House.
adjourned. Gen. M. H. Bonham,
Railroad Commissioner for South
Carolina, was found dead in his bed yes
terday morning. A fire in Norfolk
yesterday destroyed property valued at
from 20,000 to $30,000. The ex

held a conference at Columbia, S. C,
Monday night; the proceedings were
secret; it is thought that there will be
no further attempt to organize the op

their places will soon be filled by men
of widely known business ability, who
will represent the real holders of the
property. An old man and a little
girl, father and daughter, were killed
yesterday by jumping from a train,
while at full speed, about ten miles from

The State election takes place in
Arkansas September 1st. General

headed by N. B. Fizer, Union Labor
candidate, who is endorsed by the

in advance a majority of 20,000 for
their ticket, while the opposition say
they will walk in with not less than
10,000 majority. Less sanguine De

THE RAMSDEN HOMICIDE.
Coroner's Inquest Finding of the Jury :
John Koch Committed Without Bail.
The coroner's inquest into the circum
stances attending the death of Joseph
Ramsden, who died in the City Hospital
last Monday, (as reported in the Star)
was resumed yesterday morning at 10
o'clock, before the jury summoned by
Coroner Jacobs Tuesday morning.
The witnesses of the affray which
took place between the deceased and
John Koch Saturday, August 16th, and
whose testimony was taken at the
inquest were James O. Bowden, E. A.
Thomas, Isaac J. Sternberger, John R.
Watson and Preston Cumming. The
evidence elicited from these witnesses
was that the fight between Ramsden
and Koch took place in the afternoon
of the day mentioned at the corner of
Front and Princess streets; that a few
blows were struck with fists; that the
men then rushed together and grappled
and both fell to the sidewalk. Koch
rose first and stamped on Ramsden's
head with his foot, and then kicked him
on the head.
Dr. Thos. F. Wood, who with Dr.
Lane and others made the autopsy on
the deceased, testified that Ramsden
came to his office on Sunday, the day
after the fight, and complained of suffer
ing from a slight wound on the head on
the right side and on his face on the left
side. The doctor gave Ramsden a wash
for his mouth, and he went away; did
not see him again until on Monday last
when Ramsden was in a dying condition
at the hospital.
The doctors gave it as their opinion
that the wound on the right side of the
head caused Ramsden's death.
The jury rendered a verdict that the
deceased, Joseph Ramsden, came
to his death from a wound in
flicted by John Koch, whereupon
Coroner Jacobs issued a warrant
and a commitment, to the Sheriff, di
recting the latter to hold Koch without
bail until the next term of the Criminal
Court, which will meet on the third
Monday in September next.
The habeas corpus proceedings, an
nounced for 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing before Judge Meares, were again ad
journed until to-day at 10 a. m. Mr.
Marsden Bellamy is counsel for Koch.
