Vauclain, a native of this city, a brief extract is given. "It cannot but be satisfactory to receive the particulars we give elsewhere of the excellent work which these engines are doing and the way in which they have justified their acqisition. We are told of one of these powerful engines taking to Katoomba a heavy train which would be a load beyond the power of two ordinary express engines, stopping at every station and platform on the way, and reaching Katoomba four minutes in advance of time. The twelve imported have, since the beginning of August, averaged io.oco miles each, or at the rate of nearly 23,000 miles for the year, though the 'work from the same class of engines in England is only 1 8,000 miles."

IN SENATE AND HOUSE. The Tariff Debate Did Not Attract Much Attention in the Lower Branch. Washington, March 9. The first half hour of to-day's session of the senate was occupied in the presentation of petitions chiefly from the farmers' alliance and granges on all sorts of subjects, and from religious associations, asking that no state shall be permitted to interfere with the free exercise of religion. The committee on appropriations reported back without amendment the agricultural deficiency bill.

The naval committee reported back the bill to further increase the naval department. The bill was placed on the calendar. Mr. Morgan introduced a bill to enforce the provisions of section 2,806 of the revised statutes in respect of article 29 of the treaty of Washington, of May 8, 1871, with the government -of Great Britain, and it was referred to the committee on foreign relations. Among the bills introduced and referred was one with the following curious title presented by Mr.

Cullom (by request): "To test and try the science of spelling, and to provide for establishing 100 schools for that purpose, and to establish a spelling school in the World's Columbian exposition in Chicago in 1893." The senate joint resolution for payment to 'the state of West Virginia of her share of the direct tax refund was taken up and made a special order for next Monday. The pure food bill was then, at 2 p. taken up. Mr. Kenna called attention to the fact that the bill did not apply to articles of adulterated food or drugs snipped from the United States to any other country.

While the discussion was going on Mr. Pruden, one of the president's secretaries, appeared and delivered to the senate "sundry messages in writing," which were then handed up to the vice president's desk. The bill was passed without a division. After an executive session of nearly three hours, the senate at 5.25 adjourned till tomorrow. In past years the day for the opening debate in the house on the tariff bill has been a red letter day and almost all the members have been in attendance and the galleries have been thronged with spectators.

But the rule met with its exception this morning. When the speaker called the house to order at noon there was not more than 120 members present and the galleries did not contain more than the usual audience. A bill was passed disqualifying judges, justices and commissioners of the United States from sitting in cases in which they are interested or when they are related to either party within the fourth degree of consanguinity or affinity. Also a bill requiring United States judges to conform to the laws of the states in which they are sitting in regard to the charging of the jury. The morning hour having expired the house went into committee of the whole upon revenue bills.

When Mr. McMillin rose to make the opening speech on the free wool bill his voice was very husky, but immediately the customary hum of conversation was hushed and his remarks were listened to with great attention. In the course of his speech Mr. McMillan was interrupted by Mr. Ttaines, of Xew York, with the sugges tion that the state elections in Xew York had not been of a char acter to encourge the democratic party.

Mr. McMillen retorted that the ex-speaker had on Monday last referred to the triumphant march of truth. That march was emphazized by the fact that the gentleman from Maine (Mr. Reed) no longer occupied the chair, but was relegated to the floor where he could do nothing but curse and cry. (Laughter.) The city of the gentleman from Maine had gone democratic the other day.

Mr. Reed, who was in the cloak room when his name was mentioned strolled down the aisle, and as he did so drolled out the apology that he had not Deen present because he knew that the gentleman from Tennessee was speaking. (Laughter.) Mr. McMillen replied that he cared not what the gentlemen's reason for being absent was. At the conclusion ot Mr.

McMillen's speech he was the recipient of a magnificant cluster of red roses. Mr. E. Dingley, of Maine, was the next speaker. Pending the conclusion of Mr.

Dingley's speech the committee rose and the house adjourned. What Senator Moisan Will Do. Washington, March 9. Senator Mor gan says he will use the same argument in behalf of the bill he introduced in the sen ate to-day on the subiect of the free entrv at a United States port of goods for ship ment to Canada, that President Cleveland used in a message he sent to congress in the first session of the Fiftieth congress. This message recommended certain retaliatory legislation touching intercourse with Canada and was called for then as a result of the rejection by the senate of a treaty negotiated tor the settlement and adjustment of the differences existing between the United States and Great Britain concerning the rights and privileges of American fishermen in the ports and waters of British North America.

The president then recommended immediate legislative action conferring upon the executive the power to suspend by proclamation the operation of all laws and. regulations permitting the transit of goods, wares and merchandise in bond across or over the territory of the United States to and from Canada and this is the object of Mr. Morgan's bill, which would deprive the Canadian Pacific railroad of its valuable concession of the right to transport goods in bond through the United States to and from Europe and other foreign ports.

A 12 -YEAR -OLD GIRL MISSING Little Katie Pfluesrer Called Out of School and Driven Away in a Carriage in Which There Were Two Women and an 18-Year -Old Boy. AN ABDUCTION AT SHAMOKIN Norristown, March 9.

A special from Summeytown, an out-of-the-way village among the Stone hills, several miles from Green Lane, brings tidings of a daring abduction. Yesterday, about 2 o'clock, a carriage containing a lad about 18 years old and two women drove up to the public school house. "The former knocked at the door and in quired for Katie Pfiueger, a 12-year old pu pil. The child came to answer the summons and was quickly hustled into the carriage, and, as was since learned, driven to Perkiomerville, from where Katie and one of her abductors were seen to board a train. Katie lives with Jacob Hooker, by whom she was adopted eleven years ago.

Philadelphia, March 9. A Press special from Shamokin, says that it has leaked out that Frank A. Strausser, son of Captain F. O. Strauser, a prominent Grand Army man and republican politician has been abducted by tramps.

On Washington's birthday the boy showed his father the initials F. S. tattooed on his arm he said by a tramp. Next day Captain Strausser went to a veteran encampment at Pittsburgh. On returning last Friday he learned that the boy had not been seen since las father left.

By advice of a detective the disappearance was kept secret and it is believed that the boy is being held for a ransom. CLARKSON ON" QUAY. The National Chairman Telia of the Senator's Work in 1888. Philadelphia, March 9. Frank Willing Leach, of this city, assistant secretary of the republican national committee, has received l'rom J.

S. Clarkson, chairman of that body, which under date of March 5 from Asheville, N. states that in compliance with a request from some of Senator Quay's Pennsylvania friends, that the chairman put on paper his estimate of Senator Quay's services in the campaign of 1888. He reproduces his remarks delivered at the meeting of the national committee in Washington November 23, 1891. These remarks were made in executive session, and have never before been published.

In the course of his remarks Mr. Clarkson says: "The democrats knew at once by the light of the election that they had more to fear from Quay than any other American. They fear him more to-day. They have followed him with unpitying malice, with increasing calumny, and with a cruelty which only politics could either originate or perpetuate. The republican campaign of 1888 was conducted with entire honesty.

The whole genius of it was to discover and prevent democratic fraud. "In New York state, where Tammany writhed and still writhes under the defeat, the democratic plan was to throw a quarter of million of money into the rural counties of the state and carry the election by bribery. Senator Quay quickly discovered this and all the power of the republican national committee was invoked to defeat the attempt, and succeeded. The whole republican fight, then and now, is made successful when you can poll the full republican vote and stop democratic fraud. "This was the genius of Quay.

This gave the republican party the victory. It is much easier to shirk than defend a friend in this latter time. I have none of such timidity. I call on the other men with whom I served with Mr. Quay and all will bear witness that Mr.

Quay's mothods were honorable, straight forward and manly. There were no men on the national committee willing to commit a penitentiary offense for the republican party and God grant there never shall be. "I am sure there is no member of this committee who would be false either to honor or friendship as not to hold up his hand in open defense of Mr. Quay in the national campaign, of his methods and of his victory. I talk of him only as we knew him when he came to us at national headquarters.

"I do not pretend to speak as to his affairs in Pennsylvania, for I knew nothing of them. The people of that commonwealth judged him for all his weaknesses and rewarded him for all his strength. The republican party and its press might well imitate the democratic party and its press in this one respect, that whenever a republican leader goes into the fight and defeats the enemy he will not afterward be abandoned to the malice of the enemy whom he has defeated." Will Go to the Supreme Court. Wilkesbarre, March 9. Woodward and Lynch to-day handed down an opinion on which the question is decided as to whether the saloon-keepers of the new city of llazleton are to pay $500 as a city or 150 as a borough.

SUMMARY YENGEANCE WREAKED Upon These Members of a Crowd Which Had Ambushed and Killed Four Deputy Sheriffs The Jail Was Entered Without Any Trouble. LITERALLY RIDDLED WITH BULLETS Memphis, March 9. The dawn of a bright spring morning, as it cast its light across Tennessee's metropolis, disclosed the dead bodies of the three negroes riddled with bullets and partially covered with brush, lying in an open lot about one and a-half miles from the heart of the city.

The bodies, as they lay outstretched, with faces heavenward, were mute reminders of the terrible work of seventy-five masked men in this city at 3 o'clock this morning. The names of the negroes whose bodies were literally shot to pieces by this mob are Calvin McDowell, William Stewart, and Theodore Moss. The crime for which this summary vengeance was wreaked upon them was the ambushing and shooting down, on Saturday night last, of four deputy sheriffs in a bad negro locality known as "The Curve," while the officers were following their duty by looking for a negro, for whose arrest they had a warrant. About 3 o'clock this morning seventy-five men, all wearing masks, appeared suddenly on Front street, near the jail. From whence they came, none will hazard even a guess.

No one saw them assemble; no officer of the law noticed their passage through any street, nor did any person intercept them in their quick and quiet march on the Shelby county jail. At this time Watchman O'Donnell sat in the jail office. Suddenly a ring was heard coming from the outer gate. On going there he asked who was there, ahd the reply came: "Hugh Williams, of White Haven; I have a prisoner. When he unlocked the gate five men entered, who seized O'Donnell, and, after a short resistance, secured the keys to the cells where the negroes were confined.

There were twenty-seven negroes there all under arrest for complicity In Saturday night's affair and it was no easy task for these men to distinguish their much-wanted negroes from other blacks. The number of men had now increased to fully seventy-five men from the outside, and all wore black masks. Not a word was spoken as the men proceeded quickly and cautiously along the rows of cells. Suddenly they come to the cell where Moss is incarcerated, and he is soon in possession of the mob. McDowell and Stuart are then found, and the party is ready to start.

The captives being ready, they are dragged, pushed and hustled out of the jail in a hurry. Turning into Auction street, they start toward the Mississippi river.stoppine. however, as they reach the tracks of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. A few words, in an undertone, is taken as an or der, and the men start north along the track. In a few minutes the suburbs of the city were reached, and, in an open field, near Wolf river, the negroes met their doom.

For the first time they were allowed to speak. As the gags were removed Moss said: "If you are going to kill us turn our faces to the Scarcely had he uttered the words when the crack of a revolver was heard and a ball crashed through his cheek. This was the signal for the work. A terrible volley was poured in upon the shivering negroes, who instantly fell dead in their tracks. The bodies presented a horrible sight.

They were brought to Malsh's undertaking establishment about. 7.30 this morning. A jury was impanneled and rendered the following verdict: "We find that the deceased were taken from jail by a masked mob, the men overpowered and taken to an old field and shot to death by parties unknown by the jury." Death, of Robert Morrow. A correspondent at Arch Spring sends the following: Mr. Robert Morrow died at his home in Sinking Valley, near Arch Spring, Tuesday evening, March 8.

Affairs were interesting on the first section of day express yesterday morning, just after the train had left Cresson, and were rendered so by the obstreperous conduct of a corpulent individual, whose home is at Portage.

From what can be learned he was endeavoring to force his attentions upon a woman, who was also a passenger, and she appealed to the conductor for protection. Then it was that the man became conspicuously noisy, and on the arrival of the train here he was taken in charge by Railroad Officer Hamlin and locked up. In the afternoon he was taken before Alderman Rose, but before a hearing took place the case was settled by the man paying the costs 4.90. He will be wiser in the future. Hospital Notes.
