Both branches passed a resolution for a Joint select committee to memorialize the Maryland Legislature In opposition to the law compelling the purchase of Light street bridge, or the building of a free bridge 'at that point, and also to take action upon any matters before the General Assembly which affect the city. An ordinance to modify existing laws for the collection of city taxes was reported in the first branch and referred. Ordinances were introduced for the investment of premium on loans issued by the city; for new street railroads from Exeter and Hlllen streets to the city limits at Eastern avenue, and fiom Fulton Station to the foot of Caroline street; to authorize the mayor to purchase the ground rents on two buildings on North street, leased by the city, and to turn over the lots to the United States for use In connection with a proposed slto for a new postofflce, besides various other ordinances and resolutions of minor Importance. The republican "powers that be" up in Maine went as naturally to work yesterday as If nothing had happened, leaving the usionlsts out In the cold. "Gov." Smith and the members of the fusion Legislature proceeded In a body to the gateway of the Capitol at Augusta and were refusod admittance.

They thereupon organized a curbstone Legislature, "dispensed with reading the records," and, without doing anything else of importance, adjourned until today. In the meantime they will hire a hall. There was much excitement during the day, and an Immense crowd viewed the curloUs proceedings outside the Capitol. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Lynch law in Virginia.

A COLORED MISCEGENATIONIST HUNG PARTICULARS OF THE AFFAIR. Warrenton, Jan. 19. Arthur Jordan, a colored man, who was placed in Jail here a few days ago, charged with the seduction and abduction of Elvira, a white girl, the daughter of Mr. Nathan Corder, living near Markham Station, Fauquier county, was taken by a mob from the jail on Monday morning, between the hours of 1 and 2 o'clock, and hung.

The mob numbered from 40 to 60, and gained access to the Jail by making Horace Pattie, the jailer, believe they wished to commit a prisoner. On the Jailer opening the door two men pushed in a prisoner, who seemed to be a black mau. The jailer's suspicions being aroused he fled to his room, but was followed and made to surrender the keys of Jordan's cell. Jordan's hands were tied behind hlin, a gag put in his mouth, and a rope placed around his neck. He was then dragged to the cemetery, about two hundred yards from the Jail, and hung to a locust tree.

The physicians think he died of strangulation before he was hung on the tree. Jordan had lived with Nathan Corder for two years. Miss Corder, his victim, was a halfwitted girl, but rather attractive in personal appearance. While the peoplo of Warrenton and vicinity recognize in the deed a Just determination that any attempt to contaminate the Angle-Saxon shall be treated with severe remedies, yet it is universally regretted that this tragedy should have, occurred In -a community with as fair a name for observance of law and order as ours. The coroner's jury returned their verdict that Jordan came to his death at the hands of parties unknown, except one Johuny Ball, whom A nthony Smith, a colored prisoner In to have recognized.

But little credence is attached to Smith's declaration, as he, early this morning, stated to several parties that he did not know any of the men who entered the Jail. The men composing the mob are supposed to have come from the neigh bornood where Mr. Corder resides, about 25 miles from Warrenton, and no one here even anticipated any euch action. LOCAL, MATTER.

SIGNAL SERVICE MIDNIGHT REPORT. Observation Taken at 11.02 F.M BaltUiwr Time, January 19, 1880. Decision on Sates by Sample. Judgo Plnkney yesterday filed his decision in tlio case of Wm. R.

Pugh, indicted for celling without a license of this State, and by sample only, undry dry goods, being prints and eotton warp goods, the product of the Pacific Mills, a corporation manufacturing the poods at Lawrence, Mass. Mr. Pugh Is a member of thei firm of Amos R. Little of Philadelphia, The rase was argued several weeks ago by A I Leo Knott for the State and S. T.

Wallls and H. D. Loney for the traverser. The decision wan brief, as follows: Vln this case I shall not fll an extended opinion, as from a careful examination of the sections of the code upon which this indictment Is founded, as well as from a review of the history of tho logl-Uatlon on tho subject, I am of opinion that the traverser i not within tho operation of the statute. I therefore find a verdict of not guilty." The Supreme Court of the United States several years ago decldod in tho celebrated caso of Ward that a law of the State of Maryland requiring persons gulling goods from another Stale In Maryland to pay a license of $150 was In contravention of the federal constitution, which says the citizens of every State shall have the same privileges and immunities In each State as the citizens of that State.

This left no law on the statute-books of this Stat requiring persons from other States to takeout license. In this contingency Mr. Knott, as State's attorney, sought to apply the genernt license law of the Suite to such cases, otherwise he argued the citizen of another State selling goods by sample here would have no license to pay, as have the citizens of this State. Judge Plnkney, however, decides that the language of the law does not apply to such a case, but tbe Legislature might pass such a law that would bo effective, and would bear qually ou all dealers, of whatever State.

In 1857 ho was made Bishop of Natchez, aud lu 1864 had a conflict with the federal military authorities, having declined provisionally to pray for tho President of the United States, on the ground that the American Catholic Church had no connection with the State and could not be bound by Its behests. At the same time he recognized the good conduct ot the federal And said that prayers were offered up nightly on their behalf. He was, in consequence, obliged to leave his diocese for some time, but was at length permitted to return. During the yellow fever epidemic of 1878 he ministered to the sufferers lu Natchez and was attacked by the disease, reported as dead, and read his own obituary in certain newspapers.

W. Thompson, Secretary ot the Navy, lectured last night at First M. E. Church, for tho benefit of the Preachers' Fund Society, on "Personal Recollections of Adams, Jackson and Clay." Part of the lecture consisted ot a graphic account of Mr. Adams's famous defense of the right of petition in 1842, and of hlniBolf, at tho same time, from the resolution of censure.

The locturer was unbounded In his admiration of Mr, Adams, and, while giving ample credit to the talent and ability ot his assailants on that accaslon, namely, Gilmer, Wise and Marshall, he said they were but pigmies and children In the grasp of their adversary. A pleasing personal recollection of Oon. Jackson was when the speaker was presented to President Jackson by his father, who intimated that his son (the speaker)" was not altogether a democrat. Jackson said to him "Think always for yourself, and let your conscience be your guide." The lecturer's estimate of Henry Clay accorded with the popular verdict. A Fugitive Captured.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. Annapolis, Jan. 19, 1880. Gov. Wm.

T. Hamilton left Annapolis by the noon train to-day for Hagerstown, on personal business. The Governor will remain until Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. He will not send any appointments to the Senate until next week. Before his departure the Governor sent a message to the Legislature inclosing a communication of the Secretary of War in regard to Plkesville arsenal, which has been ordered to be sold by Congress unless before March 1, 1880, the State of Maryland shall agree to accept and maintain the same for militia purposes.

The message, were referred to the committee on federal relations, of which Mr. Frank T. Browning, of Prince George's, is chairman. The arsenal and its very valuable ground are offered free to the State for mUitia purposes and other necessities of the State, and the committee on federal relations has determined to accept the gift. Mr.

Browning will, therefore, report a bill for the purpose, which will be passed at once. The property is very valuable. The Baltimore city delegation began Its work this week in a thoroughly systematic and business-like way.i The delegation (Mr. James A. L.

McOlure, chairman) met this morning and agreed to report three important city measures. Mr. Jesse N. Bowen was placed in charge of the Harford run enabling act. He explained that the people of Baltimore had already voted to authorize the issue of $250,000 in bonds to cure the eastern part of the city of a great nuisance, ami under suspension of the rules pushed the bill to its passage, and It was sent to the Senate.

Mr. McClure had charge of the bill giving the United States Jurisdiction over ground in Baltimore city for a postofflce site, the text of which has been published, and under suspension of the rules it was passed. This bill now goes to the Governor for his signature. Mrl Hayes was placed In charge of the bill making labor compulsory on prisoners In jail and "allowing them commutation of sentence for good behavior. It was reported favorably and read the first time.

The Speaker has appointed the special committee on Baltimore city extension, as follows Joseph K. Roberts, Prince George's county Dr. M. W. Donavln and W.

0. Hamilton, Baltimore city; John C. Sullivan antfcOregon R. Benson, Baltimore county. Steps have been taken in the Senate looking to the repeal of a part of the compact between the States of Virginia and Maryland, 1785, regulating the Jurisdiction and navigation of Potomac and Pocomoke rivers and that part of the Chesapeake bay which lies within the territory of Virginia, so far as the same refers to the right of taking oysters in the Potomac river, and providing that each State shall have the exclusive right to regulate the taking of oysters from its shores to the middle of the 1-1 ver.

Mr. Gorman has Introduced two railroad bills of- interest in connection with the Western Maryland railroad. One Is to authorize the Baltimore and Hanover Railway Company to consolidate with the Bachman Valley Railroad Company of Pennsylvania and the Hanover Junction, Hanover and Gettysburg Railroad Company, and certain other corporations now or hereafter to be chartered in Pennsylvania. The Baltimore and Hanover railroad is now operating with the Western Maryland railroad from Emory Grove to the Bachman Valley railroad, on the State line, In Carroll county. The object of the bill Is to secure a consolidation of these Important feeders of the Western Maryland road, on terms to be agreed upon by the contracting parties.

The other bill Is to authorize the Baltimore and Cumberland Valley Railway Company to consolidate with the Baltimore and Cumberland Valley Railroad Company and certain other corporations hereafter to be chartered by the State of Pennsylvania, and to lease the railroad now owned by the Baltimore and Cumberland Valley Railway Company and the line which may be hereafter owned by said consolidated company. A line ia now in course of construction by the Baltimore and Cumberland Valley Railway Company from the Western Maryland railroad to the Pennsylvania line, In Washington county, from which last named point another line is being built to the vicinity of Waynesboro', Pa. These bills have been heretofore introduced In the House. It is understood that very many of the county Senators and -Delegates are not altogether in favor of a new registration of voters. When the bill for this purpose, prepared by the Attorney-General, goes to the House Judiciary committee, Mr.

Michael Bannon, the chairman, will have a knife sharpened for It. A determined effort is being made to repeal the bill compelling the city of Baltimore and Anne Arundel county to purchase Light-street bridge or build a new one. Mr. James P. Biays, of Montgomery county, has been appointed to'asslst Mr.

Magruder, the State librarian, during the session, when extra duties devolve upon that officer. Mr. Biays is experienced In the duties, having heretofore performed them with great satisfaction. It Is said that several days ago parties In the interest of the canal management had testimony taken before a notary public here, denying the charges against President Gorman in the bill for the canal receivership. Attorney-General Gwinn has given the Governor an opinion in regard to the Allegany county school trouble.

The question in this caBe was whether the county school board appointed In 1878 and holding over in 1880, because of the failure of the Circuit Court judges to appoint successors, could, while so holding over, remove the examiner and treasurer appointed by them In 1878. The answer is that as the county school board had only power to make one appointment, and made that In 1878, and as such examiner and treasurer was part of the organization of the county school board, and the State board only had power to remove him under tho act of 1874, he held over with the board and must remain in office until a new board is appointed, unless the State beard should remove him for cause. From Our Wall-Street Correspondent. NEW YORK, Jan. 19.

The exchanges on London opened the week strong on 60s the quotation rising by 11 A. M. to 4.83, less while demand drafts were left at 4.85. Business rates might be called 4.82a4.82tf, 4.84a4.84, and cables 4.84. The advance In 60s was due chiefly to the absence of commercial bills the expectations from the reported break In wheat not being fully realized.

Special St. Louis advices report a connection made by the St. Louis and San Francisco road with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, at Severy, which, It was expected, would add largely to the business of the former road, owing to the line country along the route. To be ready for this, as well as the Increase from other quarters, 500 box and 200 stock cars, besides 12 locomotives, had been ordered to be ready by the 15th of 'May next. At the next meeting of the governing committee of the Stock Exchange It is expected the bonds and stock of what is now known as the Ohio Central road will be listed.

This is a coal road, and was formerly the Columbus and Sandy Creek Valley road. The amount of first mortgage bonds is $3,080,000 at 93, and Incomes, also $3,000,000, quoted at 58, and each representing $15,000 per mile of road. Of stock there is $4,000,000 quoted on the street at 23. This was a wild day in stocks, particularly Louisville and Nashville, Houston Central and Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis.

On the reported consolidation, of the first and last-named roads or cessation of rivalry, there was a jump In the first to 120, against sales at 98 on Saturday, and in Chattanooga there was a fall from 95, at which the stock opened to-day, to 81. The heavy advance (22 per cent.) in Louisville and Nashville was due not so much to the consolidation as to the fact that several large houses were caught short of the stock. Houston Central was boomed to 68X, against 63 on Saturday receding later to 66X. There was nothing really new to cause the further rise, the stock being merely tossed up by a speculative wave. The market all through was one of the most remarkable ever witnessed, and closed feverish and lower.

Nashville went off to 1113i, while Chattanooga sold at 83 Mariettas were done at 16; Maryland Coal at 26; Louisianas were put out at 44, 830; U. S. 4s at 104Xal04; 0. C. I.

C. Incomes advanced from 45 to 48 on large purchases; Louisianas at 47a46; Virginia deferred at 10al0X: Chesapeake (Bs) at B7a68; Ohio and Mississippi 2Js at 111; South Carolina non-fundables at 5, and North Carolina special tax (3d class) at 6. AN IMPORTANT METHODIST COUNCIL The Topics to be Discussed. The Philadelphia Record says an important movement is on foot looking to the convening of an Ecumenical Council or Conference of Methodists from all parts of the world, to be held In the United States some time next year. This Idea was first mooted at the Methodist Episcopal Conference held in Baltimore In May, 1876, when a committee was appointed by the board of bishops to take it into consideration.

This body, of which Right Rev. Bishop Simpson Is chairman, has been In correspondence with representatives of the American Wesleyan Church, the Methodist Episcopal Church South, the Methodist Protestant Church, the Evangelical Association, the Methodist and Methodist Episcopal, Churches of Canada, the Wesleyan Methodists of England and other bodies In every quarter of the world. Favorable replies having been received from one and all of these bodies, Bishop Simpson has issued a request for a meeting of the committee, to be held in Cincinnatt on May 6th, to prepare a call for the council. Every recognized organization of Methodists will be Invited to send its representatives. It is expected that the conference will represent 20,000,000 Methodists in all parts of Christendom, as well as In Asia and Africa.

Its formal object will be to discuss "topics relating to the position, work and responsibility of Methodism for the evangelization." The discussions win not be limited to a mere inter change of views on general subjects, but will embrace proposed changes in church rules and modes of government reform in missionary work, ad the adoption of a common psalmody among all the Methodist churches, as well as of a uniform order of s3rvlce. This latter fea ture, however, does not mean the adoption of a prayer book, after the Protestant Episcopal form, but the introduction of a regular and stated order of service, the tendency at tlte present tie being in the direction of an ln- creasod formality lu the modes of worship.

COMPARING NOTES. Washington, Jan. 19. The democratic members of the Senate and House committees on appropriations held another private conference to-day for the purpose of comparing notes. The Senate members reported that they wero inspecting and revising the estimates for the different departments so as to be that much ahead when the bills come from the House.

The House members reported that they were making good progress with all the appropriation that both the Indian and the army bills wero nearly ready to be reported to the House. There are some Items in the army bill In reference to the quartermaster-general's department which the committee think proper to await the return of Quartermaster-General Meigs to the city before definitely deciding upon. It was stated on the part of the House members that as the House was now engaged in the discussion ofhe new rules, and as It was proposed to amend the rules very materially in reference to the consideration of the appropriation bills by different committees, it was considered as more courteous for the appropriations committee to refrain from reporting any bills until the House had arrived at a decision in the matter. At the same time tho opinion was expressed that the House would not be likely tf make any change in the existing order as regarded the appropriations. THE UTE INVESTIGATION.

Gen. Clinton B. Fiske, of St. Louis, appeared before House committee of Indian affairs under subpena this morning, and was examined upon certain statements he has made to the effect that the Ute Indians had good cause for revolt in injustice and neglect they had received from the Indian bureau. Commissioner Hayt was present and appeared with an attorney.

Fisk made two distinct charges First. That because of the neglect of the department the Ute Indians wore compelled to go seventeen months without theirsu pplics, which were all this time lying in a railroad freight house within two hundred miles of the reservation. He specified that the supplies for the winter of 1876-7 lay at Rawlins, Wyoming, from November, 1876, until- April, 1878, and in the meantime the supplies for the winter of 1877-8 reached Rawlins, and they too were piled in the same storehouse and left lying there all winter, while the Utes were on the verge of starvation. In April, 1878, the Utes went up to Rawlins, broke open the storehouse and loaded their ponies with supplies. Gen.

Flsk said there was no excuse for this neglect, and asked what the result would have been had the government treated Its soldiers or other civilized persons in this manner? Commissioner Hayt explained that he was not responsible for the neglect, as he did not become commissioner until the summer of 1877. Gen. Fisk asked If the supplies did not lie there nine months after he had become commissioner, and Hayt admitted the'fact, but laid the blame upon unreliable contractors. The second charge made by Gen. Flsk was that, under what was known as the Brunot treaty, the Ute Indians exchanged certain lands with the United States, and were to receive a sum of money as boot.

This was a verbal agreement, but when the treaty was written all mention of money was left out. The Indians could not read, but they had heard money promised them, and when they were Informed there was no such agreement lu the treaty they complained of being swindled. Commissioner Hayt did not deny the truth of this statement, and It is that he seemed to regard it as a very creditable piece of diplomacy on the part of the commission, although he read letters to show that the deception bail been condemned by tho department. Tho commitfee got no farther to-day, but will resume the investigation. 0ura7 Is getting much and complains that he has been kept here as long as he cares to stay, without anything being done.

He is still a prisoner, with all of his companions, aad no one Is allowed to approach them. THE MAINE CONUNDRUM. It was very generally rumored around tho Capitol to-day that Speaker Randall hail sent a telegram to the usionlsts of Maine advising them to maintain their position at all hazards, and to hold on to the State House. On Inquiry by your correspondent the Speaker said he had sent no telegram of any kind to Maine. He said that he received a dispatch from some of the usionlst leaders asking him to give an authoritative opinion as to what properly constituted a quorum of the Maine Legislature in its present condition.

This was a very important question, and one which would require an elaborate answer. He had made no answer, and did not know as yet whether he would consider it Incumbent on him to give an answer. THE BRAZIL MISSION. It is stated in well-informed circles that the President and' the Secretary of State have it in contemplation to remove Mr. Hllllard, tho United States minister -to Brazil, and confer the appointment upon Gen.

Schenck. There is no certainty that Gen. Schenck can be confirmed. CLAIM FOR PRIVATEER 8ERVICE. Gov.

Groome presented in the Senate to-day the petition -of the heirs of Capt. Lambert Wickes, asking to be reimbursed for his services as a privateersman In the revolutionary war. The papers In the case are quite voluminous, and set forth the captures of Captain W7lckes, amounting to several hundred thousand dollars, tor which he received no compensation. The petition was referred to the committee on claims. RECESS OF THE SUPREME COURT.

Chief Justice Waite announced in the Supreme Court to-day that the court would take a recess of four weeks from the first Monday of February. During the recess the chief justice will make a trip South, going as far as New Orleans, which city he has never visited. PERSONAL. Gov. Hamilton, of Maryland, was at the Capitol to-day, and saw a number of his old friends of both houses.

He is of the opinion that the democrats are certain of carrying the next presidential election with either Seymour or Bayard as their candidate. He is enthusiastic over the reforms which he proposes to Inaugurate in the administration of the State government of Maryland. General Dlspatches.l THE EXODUS INVESTIGATION. WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.

The Senate committee consisting of Messrs. Voorhees, Vance, Pendleton and Blair on the causes of the exodus of colored people from Southern to Northern States commenced the taking of testimony today. The first witness examined was the Rev. E. Rankin, pastor of the Congregational Church of this city, and Thomas L.

Tallock, assistant postmaster of Washington, both of whom testified that they had no personal knowledge of the causes of the exodus, and know nothing of the widely-scattered circular, to which their names are appended, appealing to the people of the United States for money to assist the freedmen in finding refuge from persecution, except that they had promised to serve as members of a board of audit for the emigrant aid society therein referred to. J. W. Cromwell, of Washington, (colored,) clerk in the Treasury Department, and prominent member of the Emigrant Aid Society, was then examined at great length, and gave some Interesting testimony in regard to the exodus from North Carolina to He said that all the North Carolina emigrants, about eight hundred in number, arrived in Washington destitute of money, and that their passage to Indiana, at a reduced rate of $9 per head, was paid for with money collected In the colored chm-ches of Washington city and by the Emigrant Aid Society. As the result of his personal conversation with these emigrants while awaiting transportation from Washington, the witness was prepared to say that the principal reason for leaving their old homes was simply because they did not get enough money for their work, and he did not hear that any of them were induced to go by Indiana politicians.

In response to questions of Senator Vance, the witness said he had heard that normal schools and charitable institutions were maintained by the State of North Carolina for the colored people; that they had regularly authorized military organizations of their own; that they were appointed as justices of the peace; that they had a very successful State fair a year ago, and that their general condition was improving. Judge A. D. Carleton, of Terre Haute, testified that he is well acquainted with the people of Vigo county and with the condition of all that portion of Indiana. There is no present demand tor farm hands or any other-kind of unskilled labor; on the contrary, there is an over supply, and the feeling of the people, including a number of old colored residents with whom he has conversed, is decidedly averse to the immigration of destitute colored people like the North Carolina immigrants in question, and especially as the general impression is that they are brought there only to vote.

Laughter. The committee will meet again on Wednesday. RIGHTS OF INVALID PENSIONERS. A decision was rendered by the United States Supreme Court this afternoon in the case of the United States, appellants, against Charles Bowen, involving the right of an invalid pensioner who has contributed monthly during his period of active service to the funds of the national soldiers home, to avail himself now of the benefits of that asylum without surrender-lug to It his pension, as provided in section 4820 of tho Revised Statutes. The court holds that the language of the section in question must be construed as meaning that only invalid pensioners, who have not contributed to the fund of the soldiers' home are bound to purchase its benefits by surrendering to it their pensions.

The Judgment of the.Court of Claims Is affirmed. DIPLOMATIC AND OTHER NOMINATIONS. The President sent the following nominations to the Senate to-day: James Russell Lowell, of Massachusetts, to be United States minister to England; John W.

ThePoIitical Situation In Maine. THE REPUBLICANS STILL ON TOP MILITARY SUPPORT ALL AROUND -THE FUSIONISTS IN A ILEMMA THE STATE HOUSE CLOSED AGAINST THEM A LEGISLATURE IN SESSION ON THE STREET, ETC. Augusta, Jan.

19. All was quiet at the State House this morning. Gen. Chamberlain left for Brunswick on an early train. The police force at the State House has been largely increased.

A caucus of republicans was held In the House, and the nomination for adjutant-general was reconsidered. The caucus Saturday nominated Maj. J.Gallagher, a young man, over Gen. Geo. S.

Beal, United States pension agent at Portland for some years, and a man of more mlMtary experience. Gallagher refused to resign the nomination, and the caucus to-day balloted again, electing Beal by a vote of 79 to 8 for Gallagher. Both houses of the republican Legislature assembled at 11.30, and, after the routine business, apjxdnted Mr. Sprague, of Anson, as State printer. The oath of office was administered to Councilors-elect Roble, Campbell and Hinkley.

The republican Legislature, In joint convention, unanimously elected Henry B. Cleaves, of Portland, attorney-general, the total vote being 105. Gen. George S. Beal.

of Portland, was elected adjutant-general, he receiving 95 votes to 4 for S. J. Gallagher. Adjourned at 1 o'clock to 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. Gov.

Davis telegraphed this morning to all the military companies of the State, to test their feeling. The purport of the order was that commanding officers of companies should report at headquarters every morning, and If at any time the telegraph wires were cut to start with their companies for Augusta by rail. One of the first companies to respond was the Montgomery Guard, one of the Portland companies, composed of Irish-Americans, who are democrats. Capt. Lynch, commanding, reports that he recognize the powers that be.

The acting adjutant-general has secured possession of the bills and pay-roll of the armed guard placed over the State House. Secretary of State Ohiidbourao sent a communication to the Legislature announcing hat the State seal had not been turned over to him, and returns of votes are not on file. An order was passed by the House providing for the purchase of a new seal should the Stale seal not be found. A.G. of the fusionists, and Mark Harden, messenger to the Governor and council, delivered up the keys to their respective officers this forenoon.

THE FUSIONISTS LOCKED OUT. Gov. Joseph L. Smith, at, 4 o'clock this afternoon, advanced to the gateway of the Capitol, accompanied by some fifty persons, representing themselves to bo the Legislature, and demanded entrance. Admission was denied them, and Gov.

Smith was informed that if he would put his request in writing it would be presented to the commander. The Senate and House then proceeded to transact their business on the sidewalk, there being eight Senators and thirty-five members of the House present. The reading of the records was dispensed with, and without transacting any business of importance the Legislature adjourned to meet at Union Hall at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. The crowd then dispersed. There was great complaint on the part of the fusionists, but no serious disturbance occurred.

Admittance was denied to all political parties, but reporters were allowed to enter. At a fusion meeting this evening in front of the Augusta House, Messrs. Lamson, Talbot and Darius Allien made speeches denouncing the action of the republicans. Gov. Davis, by whose orders the State House was closed against the fusionists, savs he was unwilling that the farce of a.

flat Legislature should go on any longer. This afternoon the State House swarmed with- policemen armed with revolvers and prepared for any emergency. The fusionists say they Intend to appeal to Congress, and will soon have a committee here to investigate matters. SCENES AT THE GATEWAY. Boston, Jan.

19. The Herald's dispatch from Augusta says At 3.40 o'clock this afternoon Mr. Wilson, of Oro.no, a member of tho fusion House, arrived at tli gate, and simultaneously Mayor Nash came down from the State House. Mr. Wllsen demanded admittance and was refused.

"By whose authority?" asked he. "By order of Gov. Davis," refilled the mayor. "Gov, Davis has ordered the State House cleared because no business Is being transacted In any of the departments, neither the treasury, the secretary of state's office, neither of the houses of the Legislature." "But," expostulated Mr. Wilson, "I have come for valuable papers In my desk, which I must have." Mayor Nash replied; "I am sorry, sir, but I am only obeying the Governor's orders in keeping you out." Then the fuslonlst Senator, Strickland, came up.

"Can I go in?" he asked. "No, sir," was the Mayor's reply. "I ask admission as a member of tho Senate of the State of Maine. My name is Strickland, and I can show you my credentials." "I am ordered not to admit any one," was Mayor Nash's reply. "By whose orders?" asked Senator Strickland.

"By Governor Davis's," was tho response. "If you have any communication to make In writing I will forward It to the Governor." "No sir," said the Senator, "I have no communication to make. I am satisfied." At 3.45 Mr. Lamson, President of the fusion Senate, and Mr. Talbot, President of the fusion House, appeared, with the secretary and clerk of their bodies, and demanded admission at the gate.

On being refused by the mayor they asked for entrance as members of the Legislature, only to have it again denied them. They put the same questions that Senator Strickland did, and received the same answers. A few minutes later Gov. Smith came up and attempted to pass without asking any questions. Ho was stopped by the officer's arm, and when he said, "I demand admission as Governor," his authority was not recognized, and he was turned back.

At this time about 2,000 persons bad gathered at the gate, and the throng swayed to and fro, endeavoring to hear what was going on. A Representative, supposed to be Mr. Knowles, of Bradford, who has sat, but not acted with the republican House, began a speech, in which he denounced the authority ia the strongest terms for refusing to admit him. Presently a new diversion occurred, and a cheer drew everybody's attention to the tall form of Mr. Talbot, Speaker of the fusion House, who was posted on the fence of the State House yard.

Clerk Gibbs stood at his feet with the record book and sundry papers. Mr. Talbot spoke substantially as follows Since we are not permitted to enter the legislative hall by a usurping and Illegal Governor. It becomes my duty to call the House of Representatives to order here, In the nearest possible spot. Gentlemen of the House of Representatives, you will pleaso come to order." The reading of the journal was dispensed with, and an order was offered by Mr.

Plaisted, of Lincoln, that the House adjourn, to meet at Union Hall, Augusta, to-morrow. Mr. Talbot began the reading of this order "State of Maine, House of Representatives, as near as possible" which created laughter in the crowd. He declared tho order adopted, and the House accordingly adjourned. Mr.

Lanison, President of the fusion Senate, who had also climbed upon the fence, removed his hat and said "Tho gentlemen of the Senate will please come to order." Mr. Plalsted's order was then taken up and declared adopted on concurrence, and Mr. Lamson declared the Senate adjourned. The Haydeu Trial Waiting for the Verdict. New Haven, Jan.

19. There was a large crowd at the Hayden court at 9 o'clock this morning, as It was expected that the Sunday deliberations of the Jury would result in something; that they would come and at least report a disagreement. As the crowd surged by the sheriff's office Haydeu stood In the open doorway smoking a pipe. He looked refreshed after his rest of Sunday. Mrs.

Hayden looks anxious and wearied, and expresses surprise that there has not been a verdict. It is thought that those in the minority aro in favor of a verdict for murder in the second degree. At 2.32 the jury reported that they were unable to agree, and were sent -back by the court. THE JURY DISCHARGED. The Jury, being still unable to agree, was discharged by Judge Park.

The last ballot stood eleven for acquittal and one for murder In the second degree. Counsel will move for Hayden's release on bail at the first opportunity. There is scarcely a probability of another trial. Hayden was warmly congratulated by his friends.
