Jackson, Aprii 3. There is still much excitement here over the attempt made Wednesday night to tear down the state capitol. The building is old and in such a delapidated condition that the removal of the smallest support would cause collapse. The state officials talk of moving out. That the attempt to destroy the building was not successful was due solely to the fact that Secretary of State Power was working late, and, hearing the vandals at work, went out to see what was the trouble.

They fled at his approach, and are not known. Two large stones were removed from a corner of the building.

Passage of the Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill--Documents Relating to the Veno- xnelan Affair Asked For--Tho Da- pant Case In the Senate. Washington, April that tha sundry civil appropriation bill has been passed, the house to-day has nothing but routine business to occupy iU attention. Tho final discussion of the bill caused a repetition of tho religious discussion which raged when the District of Columbia appropriation bill under discussion.

For three hours and a half the house indulged in a heated argument on religion, and, as a result, the policy of the house as expressed at that time by a de'cided refusal to appropriate money for the charitable and benevolent institutions of the District, was in effect reversed. The inciting cause of the debate was the amendment to the sundry civil bill, which was adopted in committee of the whole on motion of Mr. Evans, giving Howard university in Washington $33,600, the appropriation having been omitted from ths bill by the committee reporting it. There was a digression from the main question when Mr. Hepburn, responded to the remarks of Mr.

Say era, charging tho democrats of the south with not only failing to provide equal educational advantages to the negroes with the whites, but robbed them of their civil rights. His statements were vigorously combatted by Mr. Sayers and others. When the matter got into the house. a yea and nay vote was taken on the amendment and it was agreed to--yeas, 138; nays, 105.

This debate practically closed the consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill and no further amendment of note was made. It was passed as reported from the committee of the whole. Mr. Hitt, 111., reported from committee on foreign affairs the resolution asking the president to transmit to congress all correspondence in the state department since December 1, 1895, relating to offers of mediation or intervention by the United Statos in the affairs of Venezuela, and it was agreed to. In the Senate.

The senate to-day is still engaged in discussing the postofflce appropriation bill on the amendment relating to the consolidation of suburban postoffices and changing them, into stations and sub-stations. Although Senator George finished his speech against the seating of Mr. Dnpont as a senator from the state of Delaware, Senator Peffer had no opportunity of calling up his resolution for the investigation of recent bond sales and the Cuban joint resolution of Senator Call also remained on the tab'e. Mr. George's argument occupied in all ten hours' time.

It closed with an assertion that if Mr. Dupont obtained the seat he would be elected to it, not by the legislature of Delaware, but by the senate of the United States. No action was taken on the report, and it is very uncertain when the vote will be reached. WILLIAM'S NEW YACHT. The Meteor To BaUt of Mahogany and American Steel.

E. CONFERENCE.

Subjects Dlsonised at the Afternoon Session la'nstr York City. Now York, April the afternoon session of the Methodist Episco- p.al conference there was considerable discussion upon the question of giving financial aid to St. Christopher's home and the Home of Deaconesses. Some of the delegates were of tho opinion that they had already too many collections and financial burdens on their shoulders. One of them, Dr.

MeAnney of Mount Kisco, who called himself a "hayseeder," declared that if additional collections were imposed upon rural clergymen the latter would come to the annual conference looking more cadaverous than they do now. It was finally decided to recommend to the conference that annual collections be held in support of these homes. It was also decider! on the motion of Dr. King to recommend favorably to thsWoman's Home Missionary society lha claims of the De Peyster home for support. The general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church for several years past has declared that the work of the Preedman's society is of great importance.

After the speaking a collection was taken up and a handsome sum was realized. There was a reception last night to the members of the New York conference by tho Methodist Social union of New York city at Grace Methodist Episcopal church. A PECULIAR CASE.

Quadruple Town Suit To Decide Where Several Illegitimate Children Belone. Winsted, April the common pleas court here yesterday afternoon arguments were heard in the caso of the town of New Hartford vs. the town of Canaan. This case has been in the court for about four years and during the last six months has been set down for trial three or four times and as often deferred for one reason or another. It is a quadruple fight in which New Hartford, Canaan, Goshen and Norfolk take part The circumstances out of which the suit originated are very peculiar.

About fifty years ago there lived in Meeker town, a territory of abandoned land and forest near ths line of Norfolk, Canaan and Goshen tho families of Abiron Bailey and Lewis Root They were hevcr heard from except on election days, when the first politician to reach them on election morning gave them a free ride of five miles to the polls in order to capture their votes. The families of Bailey and Hoot got along harmoniously until it began to appear to their husbands and their wives that a mistake had been made in their mating. To get out of the tangle they concluded to swap wives, and the trade resulted in Root giving Bailey a pair of stags and a jug of rum to boot in exchange. The result of that trade was a half dozen illegitimate children, who are now in middle life and paupers, and the court is now called upon to decide where they belong and which of the four towns shall support them. No Larger Force Needed.

M'GRATH INQUEST Philadelphia Police Must Now Show Their Hands. CASE MAY END 15 A MEDICAL CLASH to Effect That the Ulrl Bought Chloroform Intending Xo Kill Jjingdon and Herself. Philadelphia, April Inquest on the death of McGrath will be commenced to-day and now the poliee will have to show their hands, in part at least. Dr. Laffman, the analytical Chemist, who made examination of the girl's blood aad Tiscera, has finished his work, but he refuses to tell the ro- Eult, but from wiiat is known, it is liliely that Dr.

Laffman will testify that he has been unable to discover any traces of poisoning. It is then expected that the police will to have held on the ground that the cause of the girl's death is involved in doubt, and that as he was the last person who was with her when sho was alive, he should be compelled to stand trial for her death. If the efforts of the police to hold Langdou are successful the case may eventually narrow down to a conflict of testimony between medical experts. Sensational Solution of the A afternoon paper published a long article purporting to throw light upon the mystery surrounding the death of Annie McGrath. The story shows that the girl bought chloroform and that she made particular inquiry upon the effect of chloroform poisoning upon a young and old person.

From this the paper deducts the theory that rl committed suicide and implies that she also attempted to kill Samuel P. Langdon, the man who was supporting her. The motive for the girl's desperate act was furnished in the story by the threat of her sister to inform their parents that Annie was living with Langdou as his wife if she did not immediately break her connections' nth her lover. The main fact of the story upon which the publication was based is true. The girl did buy chloroform and the druggist from whom she bought it admits to the essential truth of the publication.

The rest is mere speculation. The girl may have killed herself and she may also have attempted the life of her lover, but there are no facts known to bear out this theory. IN CHARGE OF POLICE. American Schooner Captured by Sun- boat and Taken to Colon, Colombia, April 3. The American schooner George Whit- iord of New York has been seized by the gunboat Cordova six miles off ManzanHlo.
