Queen as postmaster. Among the most select and enjoyable of the evening receptions, which are such a feature of the Washington season, are those held at the houses of the old residents. They are principally attended by cultured and refined and are free from the presence of the mob of coarse nobodies who at so many of the receptions of officials monopolize space and accommodations. One of the most delightful of this class of receptions in the season which is now so soon to close was that held last evening by(Mr. and Mrs.

M. W. Gait at their handsome residence on street. The proposed canvas roof of the inauguration ball building has been abandoned. A board roof will be constructed instead.

LOCAL KEPOBT, FEBKTABY 13, 18S5, BA TIMOR'S. 3 2 5- sr a THE ALMSHOUSE FIRE.

The Loas of Life Variouly Estimated Madmen in the Streets. Philadelphia, Feb. 13. The fire of last night at the almshouse entirely destroyed that portion of the institution set apart for the insane. Of the 684 lunatics confined there many are missing, but It is thought most of them have wandered away.

At nine o'clock this morning two more charred bodies were found in ward No. 2. They had been roasted beyond all recognition. Several human forms can" be seen in the burning wreck in the cellar. It is now thought that twenty-eight of the inmates perished.

That number of violent patients were locked in cells on the third floor and could not be reached. Eight of them have been taken out dead, and the others have not been accounted for. There seems no doubt that they are lost and that their remains are among the ruins. During the night many insane persons were found wandering in different parts of the city, some of them nearly naked. The poor creatures generally seemed to understand the situation, and in some cases begged their captors piteously not to throw them in the river.

Others seemed to take it as a grand joke, and laughed gleefully when the subjeet of the flre was mentioned. Another came flying down South street early this morning with a manacle attached to his wrist and a few links of a chain dangling from it. He shrieked and laughed as he struck right and left among the frightened people. It was found necessary to use violence and knock him down before he could be secured. Another madman caused a panic in a street car by rushing in half clad and with his face scorched and blackened.

He sank cowering in a corner, and it was soon found that he was more frightened than those who had run away. The report that the streets were full of escaped maniacs caused much alarm in West Philadelphia, and strangers look upon each other with much distrust. The firemen are still at work on the ruins. They are weary and half frozen, each man's helmet and coat appearing as hard as armor, but their search for bodies is continued steadily. There appears to have been a great deal of unnecessary trouble caused by rotten hose and scarcity in the water supply.

To remedy the latter failing, a dozen brawny firemen chopped a hole in the thick ice on the Schuylkill river, but when the hose was introduced the mud and grinding bits of ice split the leather, and the attempt was a failure. The confusion about the rums, the craftiness of the insane people in secreting themselves, the promiscuous manner in which they are being cared, for, and the utter weariness of all those who have had them in charge prevent an accurate estimate being made of the loss of life and property. Nearly' 400 of the paupers were housed today in tho old depot of the Pennsylvania Railroad, Thirty-second and Market streets. The charred remains of another body were found in the ruins this afternoon. The almshouse authorities are convinced that only eighteen of the patients perished.

By mistake it was given in an hour or two. The girl appsrently died and was prepared for burial. One woman protested, but was not heeded.

The night after the young woman was buried, dogs in the vicinity visited the srravevard and made so much noise that the grave as opened. A sickening spectacle was revealed. The irirl bad died in the coffin. She had torn her clothes from her body and ripped them to shreds, xne nesn nung in strips from her arms. A lip was nearly bitten off, and nearly all the hair had been nulled from the head.

The lobbing trade is ouiet ana about steady. Wa quote packed lots iron, the higher prices and the unfavorable weather the audience at the Oratorio concert last evening was large, the Fifth Regf-ment Armory being very well filled. The performance was in the main a good one, although in several respects rather a disap pointment, lt had been felt by the members of the chorus that owing to the abBence of their accustomed leader they would not De able to do justice to the artificial and difficult music of Bach; but they did expect better results in the Handel choruses than were attained either at the public rehearsal or at the concert. The Bach music, although verv old and simple-looking, is very ditticuit. The Handel airs are much more melodious.

Of the soloists. Miss winant, tne contralto, was much the most satisfactory. Mrs. Osgood's voice is thin and tremulous, not suited to oratorio in a place as large as the armory. Mr.

Babcock singing or the air from -'Joshua" was not very successful. Ho Knno- the notes in a detached and almost staccato manner that left them without much charm. Miss Winant singinsr oi Doth her arias was very well received. The chorus was not as full as usual, out sang wuu nearly its accustomed certainty and vim. There was manifest trepidation in taking up the "leads from beginning to end.

This was not the fault of the conductor. Mr. Cross, who beat the time with great precision and distinctness, but because the chorus has been accustomed to depend upon its own leader for extra and peculiar signs and movements. Under the circumstances the chorus accom plished all that was to have been expected. Catholic Xotes.

SATURDAY. FEB. 14. 1S35. FORTY-EIGHTH C0SGRESS-8D SESSION.

The tabor Bill in the Senate-Defeat of the Postal Subsidy Scheme. Washington, tfeb. the Senate, Mr. Dawes, from the committee on appropriations, reported the Indian appropriation bill, with amendments. Mr.

Ing-alls said he bad observed in certain quarters a statement that the republicans of the Senate were endeavoring so to direct legislation as to compel an extra session. He asked Mr. Allison, chairman of the appropriations committee, aa to the condition of the appropriation bills. Mr. Ailison then stated the condition of the appropriation bills so far as the Senate was concerned.

He said the work of his committee was well in hand, and no delay would be caused by it. If the House would take care of the bills, there would be no difficulty in the Senate. Mr. Hoar, from the conference committee on the electoral count bill, reported that the House and Senate conferees had been un-Rble to agree. As the House members of the conference committee had not yet reported to the House, Mr.

Hoar moved that a mes-sasro be sent to the House informing1 the House that the Senate has received this report. The disagreement, Mr. Hoar said.had taken place in the first week of the session. The Texas Pacific land forfeiture bill, as the pending special order, was placed before the Senate. After some debate Mr.

Blair moved that the Senate proceed to the consideration of the labor bill. Mr. Van Wyck asked the Chair if this would not asrain displace the forreiture bill and relegate it to the calendar. The Chair said it would. Mr.

Van Wyck called for the yeas and nays on Mr. Blair's motion, and it was agreed to yeas 30, nays 19. The labor bill was therefore taken up and its consideration proceeded The 'abor bill is a House bill, entitled "An act to prohibit the importation ana migration of aliens under contractor asreement to perform labor in the United States, its Territories and the District of Columbia." It prohibits any person or company from prepayinn the transportation or encourasring- the importation of foreigners under agreement to perform labor in the United States, and makes void all contracts of that character, whether express or implied, parol or special. A penalty of $1,000 is fixed for infraction of that provision. Ship-masters are forbidden under penalty of 500 to brinir emigrants ho have made such agreements.

Citizens of foreign countries temporarily sojourning in the United States are not amenable to the provisions of the bill so far as relates to their private secretaries or domestic servants. The Dill does not apply to the cases of actors, professional sing-ers, etc. Nor is it so to apply to prevent persons or companies from encaging in foreign countries workmen skilled in any industry not yet established in the United States, provided skilled labor for that purpose cannot be otherwise obtained. The bill further provides that it shall not be construed so as to prohibit any individual from assisting any member of his family or relative to emigrate to the United States. Considerable debate arose on the bill.

Mr. Hawley Thought parts of the bill were in contravention of natural rights, and Mr. McPherson thought it would prevent people from coming here even as colonists. Mr. Ingallssaid the question was, had we a right to protect our own citizens against a dangerous and detrimental competition, whether forced on us by the ambition of those desiring to improve their condition or by the cupidity of great employers anxious to swell their already egregious gains.

In view or recent occurreuces in New York, Cincinnati and Chicago, it was becoming a question how we should secure what we had built up. If we did not take care, the dangers that had threatened despotisms would with ruthless rage assail the institutions of republican freedom. Another financial crash might witness dangerous assaults upon our institutions. Mr. Bay am did not see the present direct application ol Mr.

Ingalls'sJ remarks. Those remarks were directed against communistic forces which proposed to array numbers against property. It was not, however, by bills of this character that such forces were to be met, but by measures amending our criminal law so as to punish, unrelentingly, the foes to human society whose doings and tnreatenings had been adverted to by Mr. Ingalls. That was the obvious right and the obvious duty of every State as a means of self-preservation.

Hut this bill was not Reveled at the difficulties invdlved in dynamite. Mr. Bayard then analyzed the bill to show that its provisions were impracticable. It was an illustration, he said, of zeal without knowledge, a quixotic attempt to relieve evils by scraping the surface. He moved to strike out the section affecting ship captains.

Messrs. Sherman and Miller (Cal.) favored the bill, and Mr. Morgan opposed it. The Senate at 5.20, without action, adjourned. The House.

The House met at 10 clock in continua tion of Thursday's session. Mr. Willis moved that when the House went into committee of the whole on the river and harDor bill all debate on the pending section be closed in an hour and a half. Mr. Reed raised the point that this motion was not in order, as it was not competent for the House to close debate on paragraphs of the bill which had not yet been read in committee.

The Speaker pro tem. (Mr. Blackburn) said that this point would have been well taken if directed against general appropriation and revenue bills, but a river and harbor bill had been repeatedly held to be neither, and the Chair therefore overruled the point of order. Mr. Reed appealed from the decision.

After cousiderable debate, Mr. Willis moved to lay the appeal on the table. Agree- to yeas 121, nays 104. and then though it was two minutes past twelve, the House adjourned, and was immediately called to order again in nday session. Mr.

Henley, from the committee on pub lic lands, reported back a resolution request ing the President to inrorm tne House what were the reasons which impelled him to appoint a commission to examine the line of the California and Oregon Railroad, said railroad havine- failed to complete its line within I the time required by law. Adopted. The House then proceeded to the consideration of business under the special rule. A bill wa3 passed authorizing the President to appoint Passed Assistant Engineer Nathan B. Clark (but without specflcally naming him) a chief engineer on the retired list of the navy.

On mot ion of Mr. Willis, ittis ordered that at 10 o'clock tonight the House shall take a recess until 10 o'clock tomorrow. At 2.10 the House went into committee of the whole on the postoffice appropriation bill, the pending question being on the point of oruer raised by Mr. Holmaa against the paragraph allowing additional compensation to American steamships for carrying ocean mails. The chair.

(Mr. Springer,) in a lengthy decision, overruled the point of order. He. however, ruled out that portion of the paragraph which provides that the vessels engaged in this service shall be of American registry, and shall, in time of war, be liable to charter or purchase by the United States at reasonable rates. Mr.

Holman appealed from the decision of the chair, butthe committee, by a vote of 130 to 45, sustained the ruling. Mr. Holman then moved to strike out the paragraph and to insert an amendment appropriating $425,000 for the transportation of foreign- mails, including railway transit across the Isthmus of Panama, and re-enacting for one year from July next sections 3976 and 4203, Revised Statutes. Mr. Findlay addressed his remarks to the proposition to re-enact the Revised Statutes making it compulsory on American vessels to carry the mails at a price fixed by the United States, and inveighed against this proposition.

The provision which it was proposed to strike from the bill was not a subsidy, but a proposition to pay an honest Bum for fair and honest consideration. Mr. Holman's amendment was supported, by Messrs. Blount, Miila, Warner and Bayne, and opposed by Messrs. Hunt, Phelps and Mr.

Holman modified his motion so as to move merely to strike out the provision without the insertion rf the clause re-enact-inr sections 3976 and 4203, Revised Statutes. The motion was agreed to 105 to 97 amid applause on the democratic side. On motion of Mr. Bingham, an amendment was adopted providing that the rate on drop- letters, including delivery at letter-carrier ortices, shall be two cents per ounce. The committee then rose and reported the oiii to tne nouse.

ana tne previous question having been ordered on the bill, the House at a.4o tooK a recess until 8 clock, the even ing session to be for consideration of pension UlliH. At the evening session a dozen pension bills were passed, also bills removing the political disabilities of J. K. Mitchell and J. Jo.

In the Probate Court this afternoon, on the petition of Rosa It. and Florence Collins, it was ordered that the shares of stock standing on the books of the Citizens' National Bank of Baltimore and in the Western Bank of Baltimore in the name of John Collins and of Elizabeth Collins be transferred to the persons entitled to the same. Attorney Kiddle has given to thp District commissioners an opinion that the recent act of Congress! giving the commissioners authority to regulate the rates of public conveyances during the inaugural ceremonies applies to all hacks, cabs and other passenger vehicles for hire, whether thev are specially licensed or not. The commissioners will hold a conference with vehicle owners next Monday on the subject of rates for hack hire. The opinion of the Attorney-General deciding that the title of the Aqueduct Bridge Company to the bridge at Georgetown is not good unless the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company release to them a certain aoutraeot, or at least the ground on which the abutment stands, is said to be fatal to the title, for the reason that the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal company will refuse to give the release.

It is said that if the ground asked for was released to the bridge company it would give tne government the right, as owners of the n'ho11 10 cut off the canal to Alexandria, ibis, however, is denied by others.

She had been re siding with her nephew, Louis J. Watkins, clerk of the Circuit Court, for several years. Mr. Thomas Shipley, of the third district, who was thrown from a wagon during the early pan of last week, is now reported to be lying at home in a precarious condition from injuries received at that time, which are thought to be internal. At the time of the accident he was supposed to have escaped unhurt beyond a few slight bruises and scratches.

The first resigned or was droppedlfor deficiency in studies. The second was turned back to a lower class and resigned soon afterwards while standing No. 1 in his class.

The third. Mr. Louis E. War- field, of this city, resigned in June. 1884, not on account of deficiency in studies, but for private reasons.

James D. Brady, (the Consrress-man elect.) resigned. Col. Brady's resignation was expected, of course, but it was gen erally expected tnat some one in his office thoroughly familiar with the duties of the department would be promoted. There was a disregard of civil-service reform in the appointment.

It is learned from dealers and planters that there is very little really fine tobacco in the whole of last year's crop in this section. The quality was ruined by the severe drought. Adjournment of the Court of Appeals. (Correspondence or tne Baitrmore sun. I Annapolis, Feb.

The Story of the Irving Parle Homicide- Murder in the Second Degree. lie ported for the Baltimore Sun.l George Washington, colored, was found guilty of murder in the second degree yesterday in the Criminal Court for shooting and killing Rufua Thomas, colored, at a picnic at Irving Park, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, July 14, 1884. Sentence was reserved. The trial began on Thursday. Geortre Washington, father of the prisoner, who lives at No.

105 Race street, between Cross and Hamburg streets, was called as a witness, and said: "Your honor, I knew Kuf us Thomas welL He was a perfect gentleman. It I had thought that my poor boy there had shot him willfully I would not walk across the room or dirty my hands to defend him. Rufus Thomas was like a brother to Georpe, and I would as leave lie had shot his brother. I stand here before the judiare to tell the truth, as I expect to stand with you, your honor, before the Supreme Judge." The prisoner was then called to testify in his own behalf. He ij a yountf man, about 23 years of age.

He walked up before the court. put his thumbs in the armholesof his waist coat and talked out boldly, in a loud voice, add ressinar the judge, witnesses and spectators by turns. As he progressed with his story he became more demonstrative, and illustrated his meaning by numerous gestures and with striking dramatic effect. In replying to questions he made use of arguments showing much aptness. He began by saying that he went to the picnic to have a good time, and not to have a fuss.

"I was talking to Dan Henry about how many people there were on the ground, and how easily a man could lose in a bet on the number, when John Turner came up and said I wasaiwavs on the skin. I Baid I never skinned him. He said no, but I owed a woman for board. The woman he was illuminatin' was eittinar near. I said I would pay her when I had the money, and he said he could lick me or anybody like me.

and struck me. Jones and Turner and several others pulled me into the pavilion and kicked and beat me. Uncle Rufe heard they were all on me, and came un and laid his hand on me and told me to go away from them. 1 went down to the train. John Turner followed me and said he had licked me once and could do it again.

He threw sev eral stones at me. one of which hit me on the ankle. The crowd halloed to him to kill me. 1 pulled my pistol out and tried to cock it. Mv hands were sweaty and my thumb slipped orr tne nammer and it went off three times, They told me I shot Uncle Kufe Thomas, lt hurts me.

your honor, as much aa if I had shot my father. I never had any grudge against bin He would not have come to me if I had. Some of these people who have testi- ned against me will say when they go home tonight that they have fixed George Washington. Henry Carl, (turning to the witnesses,) you know you haven treated me right. never made any threats against Rufus Thomas.

I am an innocent man." The case was submitted without argument. and Judge Fisher, before whom the case was tried, without a jury, said that while there was some evidence of premeditation, be did not think it established, and would find the prisoner guilty of murder in the second degree. The penalty is five to eighteen years in the penitentiary. A Baby Camel. Reported for the Baltimore Sun.1 Druid Hill Park now rejoices in a baby Camel.

It was born Thursday night last. Calpa is its proud mother. The new arrival is a female. The youngster when stand. ing is about four feet high, and is thickly covered with wooly hair of very dark color, the hair on the head, legs and hump being black.

The large black eyes and long, goose-shaped head give the animal a very comical appear ance. The legs are almost as long now as they will ever be, and the hump is a jolly little mass of fat that rolls about under one's hand and trembles like a bowl of jelly. Its mouth is as tender as tbat of a Dew-born babe, and the gums are soft and pink. It spends most of its time lying down, and when roused up and kept on its feet it 6huts Its eyes and persists in dozing off again. It cries when hungry or lonesome not unlike a human baby.

Its cry is "Me-a, me-a," in a thin, squeaky voice. It was quite weak when nrst Dorn, out graauauy gained strength. though its hind legs still show weakness. It enjoyed its meal late last evening, and the smacking or its lips could De beard for fifty vards. Calpa, the mother, is the camel that on her transatlantic voyage to America was noted for her irritable temper.

She is now verv belligerent when anyone enters her apart ments. The mother and baby have a commo dious room. It is carpeted with fine straw and lined with thick canvas. At the door from ceiling to floor bangs a portiere of thick striped stun to ward oft the air when the attendants are going in or out. Kondinello, the father of the baby, who occupies an adjoining apartment, seems much interested in the newcomer.

He has torn a hole through the canvas so aa to look in on bis wife and 5T 7.00 11.00 3.00 7.00 11.00 30.187 27.0 64.0 30.11)3 31.2 51.0 T. 80.112 29.7 93.0 N. JUieht. Lieht. Lteht.

It has been discovered that Mr. Robert H. Bussey, of Texas, Baltimore county, who was appointed Wednesday to a 11.200 clerkship in the sur veyor's office, is a democrat. Mr. Bussey was appointed in the place of Mr.

C. C. Burh- man. of Frederick county, who resigned, Mr. Bussey passed the recent civil-service examination, and stood number three on the list.

Dr. Markland stood first, but when oifered the vacant clerkship declined, as he already held the place of boarding officer, which pays more. The gentleman who stood next, being in poor health, could not take the place, and the civil-service commission gave it to Mr. Bussey. who rated third.

They did not inquire into his political opinions, as they are prohibited by law to do so. Deputy Surveyor Charles L. Wilson, in speaking of the matter yesterday, said: "We do not know the politics of any one who applies for a place, unless some one happens to know him beforehand. We never ask them. The place naturally fell to Mr.

Bussey according to the civil-service rules. I don know the politics of half the people who have been appointed lately. A. Former Baltimorean Killed in Chi cago. Mr.
