THE CCriATK DISCUSSING THE
JUDICIAL QUESTION.
A Rezscif Needed lor the Congestion
ot Caurt-Thc House Troubled
About tLe Quorum Business.
By United Tress.
Washington, Sept. 22 -Tie Senate
resumed the consideration of the bill to
deflod and regulate tLe jurisdiction of
the courts of the United Slates, the
pending question being on Mr. Daniel's
amendment offered on Saturday, extend
ing the jurifidiction of the Supreme court
to all casoa of felonies, and to all cases
where the matter in dispute is the right
in Personal liberty, or the right to the
- i
custody of a child. Rejected.
After an argument by Mr. Evarts
against the amendment, Mr. Vo-t offer
ed a subatitue for the bill. It proposes
that there shall bo three divisions of the
Supreme court, to be composed of three
justices; that the Chief Justice shall make
assignments to these divisions; that all
ftnal decisions in either of these divisions
shall be considered by the court in bauc,
and shall require the concurrence of live
jastiejs, and that the Chief Justice shall
app rtion the business of tho.se divisions.
Mr. Evarts said that the necessity for
a remedy for the congestion of the Su
preme court was admitted on all sides,
and that thore were but two modes of
providingfor the difficulty. One was to
proceed with the judicial establishment
as it now stood, with sucii ro-arrnnge-menta
as might bo provided for; and
the other was to provide an intermediate
Court of Appeals (which distributed
through the different districts) might be
able to dispose of certain heads of juris
picdence and jurisdiction.
Mr. Ingalls ottered the amendment, of
which he had heretofore given notice,
dividing the judicial districts of the
Uniied States into eleven circuits.
The amendment was rejected.
Mr. Gorman moved to designato
Baltimore (instead of Richmond) as the
placo for holding court in tho fourth
circuit.
Tho vote was taken on Mr. Gorman's
amendment but, us t here was no quorum,
it wont over till to-morrow.

Maxton, N. C , Sept. 20. News has
just been brought here of the sudden and
sad death of Mr. B. L. McLauchlin,who
lived about seven miles from Laurin
burg. He was on his way home from
Red Springs where he had been to carry work of our lowest class would only be a
School of Mechanics and Arts.
"We thought this school was gotten up
as a sort of primary to the University at
Chapel Hill, or in other words a farmers'
school where boys who had received only
the benefit of the home school for the two
months they run in the year, could be re
ceived at any stage of advancement. And
where thos of very limited means could
enter and work ana study unt il he could
get a business education or trade, or be
tar enough advanced to enter college. It
seems from the competitive examination
held in Goldsboro last month, that the
standard of education is so high for the
free students that each county is entitled
to, that only city boys can compete. Far
mers' sons must be sent in at full rates of
tuition. Both the free students were from
Wayne county where they had the benetlt
of the graded school free of charge. More
anon."
Theabove shows the misty notions which
some editors have formed in regard to
the purposes and aims of technical edu
cation in ag iculture and mechanics.
No farmer in the State, I venture, ever
had any such idea.
Our courses of study are purely tech
nical and lead to our own degrees, which
are different from those of any other
college in the State, and they have no
relation to the classical course at the
University, or of other colleges. A man
who simply wants to prepare for the
University can do so better elsewhere
than here. Our standard for admission
is so low that any intelligent young man
of 15 or over, who has had a year's
study, ought to be able to enter. It is
evident that a man who cannot do the

Mr. McKtnley, of Ohio, moved an ad

Reading, Pa., Sept. 22. -The terrible
accident Friday night on the Reading
railroad grows in fatality as the wreck
is cleared away. Twenty dead bodies
have been removed from the wreck, and
others are known to be in it. The injur

may die.
A passenger, John Ney, of Philadel

uninjured, and this afternoon he gave
the following account of what he saw:
Hissing steam from the engine, groans
of the injured, and shrieks of the
.Panic-stricken Passengers
made up an awful sight. Those of the
passengers who escaped unhurt gazed in
horror upon the scene. They saw four
of the cars splintersd into thousands of
pieces. It is safe to !say that the cars
could not have been more completely
smashed to pieces. The engine's smoke
stack was just out of water, and tops of
the Pullman and smoker were just visi

Train men then lit their lamps and
soon the ghastly scene was illumined by
these pale lights which rendered slight
assistance to noble hearts and willing
hands. One by one the slightly injured
were taken and assisted out of the car
that stood end up on the bank. Many
limped to the track above, which was
flanked on the one side by the standing
coal train. Others were carried up.
Then the rescuing party made their way
further down to the wrecked and sub

ual efforts of the managers of the House
to Bocuro a quorum of Republican mem

another Republican caucus to-day. Tho

after tho adjournment of tho Houso and

sion on the subject of plans for securing
the attendance of absent Republicans was
general, and Mr. Moore, of New Hamp

fined $3 each. Severe condemnation of
the absent Republicans was indulged in.
A count of absentees brought forth
promises from a number of members
that a sufficient number of the absentees
to make a quorum would be present to
morrow. Some members urged the
abandonment of the Langston case, but
this action was opposed by most of the
leaders, and it was determined, without
taking a vote, that the case should not
be , dropped, and that adjournment
should bo postponed until Langton is

caucus adjourned, leaving it to the sev

task of securing the attendance of ab
