No preced igresa ever continued its regular m- December into following U One Cougres3, the Thirty-first, tl^BPtember 80, and two others, ?eaty,- seventh and Thirty- second, ugust 31." Eight others have con ,^t!^:rlses3iDns until August, while have held short special sessions jraer and autumn just preced* ; beginning of fhd regular first mssion, bat no Congress before tbis baa ever sat continuously from December into October. Tbe actual number of days ot this session, up to this time, is 232; the number of bills introduced in both houses is 15,125, and about 300 resolu? tions, which is more than was ever introduced in both sessions of any pre? vious Congress. So far tbe number of bills which have passed both houses of Congress and been sent to tbe President for bis consideration is about 1,200, and of this number he has vetoed about 100. Mr. John Brosins, of Atlanta, has re? cently invented a motor that promises to be a big thing. It will be used chiefly to run sewing machines. A company with a capital of $500,000 has been or? ganized to begin tbe manufacture of tbe motors at once. In explaining bis in? vention r Mr. Biosius says it is clock? work, reversed. In ordinary clockwork the Bprings start the motion, and there is a system.of wheels, to speed it down so as to measure time. In Mr. BrosiuB's motor the motion is started by Bprings, but the wheels are so arranged as to speed it up to a rapid velocity. Of course it takes powerful springs to furnish tbe re? quired power when the speed is multi? plied. Mr. Brbsius uses a four inch coil of heavy steel, and inch and a half wide, and say one-eighth to one sixteenth of an inch thick. Two such coils run a sewing machine as if it were & toy. It takes a lever two feet long to wind them with ease, and ? few turns of tbe lever will run the machine fifteen minutes. It stitchea through jeans several times dou? bled, and yet it is bo easily.controlled by a brake tbat institching muslin tbe speed can be regulated so as to turn the sharpest corner with nicety, or stop it in an instant if it is desired. A Sensation in San Francisco. San Francisco, October 1.?News of President Cleveland's approval of the Chinese restriction bill was received here to day with a marked degree of interest. Large 'crowde congregated aroond tbe newspaper bulletin boards and discussed the situation. The Chinese manifest considerable excitement. The principal subject of discussion here is as to what effect the measure will have upon several thousand Chinese who have arrived here within the past year, and who haye been landed by the Fede? ral Courts upon writs of habeas.corpus, and are out on-bail awaiting examina? tions; and also" upon two - thousand and more Chinese who are now on their way to this port. About two hundred Chinese arrived here on Saturday on the steamer City of New'York.; The Belgic will be doe next Thursday with eight hundred. Three other steamers are .now on the Pacific with a thousand Celestials bound for this port- ^V^Si Collector of the Port Haggert expressed himself to-day as being doubtful of the efficiency of the bili. . He said: ;.'-';';:' "The present bill is intended to ex? clude Chinese, so was the Keatriction Act, but did the Restriction. Act exclude them ? If the same principle is applied to this bill as was applied to the other,; I don't - Bee that it is going to*be any great improvement. If the Courts can continue to land Chinese on writs of habeas corpus, and allow them on Our soil on bail, that will abrogate any kind of restriction attempt?d now by ;Congres3.\ When they sire allowed bail they are in the country, and they then forfeit their bail and remain herein spite ofthe; law.'! The collector concluded by stating that in all probability when officially inform-' ed of the passage and approval of the bill he would refuse landing to the Chi? nese whether bearing return cer? tificates or not, unless writs of habeas corpus were issued by the Courts, in; which case the matter would be out of his hands. United States District Attorney Can is stated that in this opinion, the bill couid not effect the 5,000 Chinese now out on bail, bat believed that those now on their way would be refused landing. He further stated that he did not believe that writs of habeas corpus would be issued, except, possibly, in one or two cases, in order to make- a test of the matter. Tbe Husband of 33 Women. Detboit, Mich./ Sept. 26.?About fifteen of the . thirty-three women who {?have been married to James W.Brown, the champion Benedict, since 1883, confronted him in tbe Recorder's Court yesterday afternoon. The list of victims included Helen Brownlee and Annie Winters of Chicago, who, with Annie H. Hazel, Mary Benjamin and Nancy Robertson, were the only ones called on to give evidence against Brown. The Benjamin woman, was the prosecuting witness. It was established that Brown's" I ?method was to advertise for a house? keeper, select as a victim the one from among tbe applicants who pleased him most, and marry her as soon as possible. He would desert her after a few days. ' Five clergymen of tbe city certified to marrying Brown to as many different women, and the case made against him was so clear that the prosecutor left it to the jury without argument. Brown testified in hie own behalf, and made a sorry mess of it, contradicting himself at every tarn. He professed not to remem? ber any of his dupes, asserted that he .was only once married and that his wife was dead, and that he had once been confined as a lunatic in New Orleans. Brown was pallid, }? and looked like a sick man. Daring tbe trial Nancy Robertson 's indignation could not be repressed; and she denounced Brown as a perfidious wretch. The jury agreed with her evidence, for they took only four minutes to find bim guilty. w When Brown was brought into tbe Recorder's Court this afternoon for sen? tence, several of his numerous wives were present. Judge Gartner asked bim the usual question, if be had anything to say why sentence should not be passed. Brown answered tbat be bad bad his say yesterday. "As far as yonr case is concerned, Brown," then spoke up Judge Gartner, "you have been convicted of bigamy. You failed to remember .anything about these numerous marriages, and it seems to me that a man of such poor memory as you is dangerous to the community. The statutes prescribe tbe penalty, but tbe court is left some discretion in the matter. Your physical condition seems deplorable, but it is more a matter for executive than judicial clemency. It is the sentence of tbe court tbat you be confined in the State Prison at Jackson for four years and six months." - - The extreme penalty is only five years, and Judge Gartner took into considera? tion the six months Btown had spent in I jail. Immediately after tbe sentence three handsome brunettes, tall, slender ; and fashionably dressed, entered tbe County Auditor's office- to draw $30 apiece for witness fees in Brown's trial. Two of them were Brown's wives?Mrs. Hazel and Mrs. Benjamin. Tbe clerk, anxious to identify them, asked laconi? cally," "Both Brown's wives?" The women looked at each other, giggled and assented, while the third, anxious not to get mixed in with the wives, shifted uneasily away. , ''Well, it was a pretty bad case, wasn't it ?" queried the clerk, by way of show? ing a kindly interest. ' ? "Yes," said Mrs. Hazel, the tallest and handsomest member of tbe Mormon family. "We were very much deceived in that old Browr," added Mrs. B. spitefully. Later more of Brown's wives came in for their fees, and all expressed tbe liveliest satisfaction over his sentence. ? Farmers institutes have become an institution in Wisconsin. Eighty-two were held last year in forty-five counties^ and 279 practical topics were discussed"/ More than 100 lecturers and specialists imparted instruction, and tbe Stale ap? propriated $12,000 to help tbe farmers/ cause along. CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Chicago, Oct. 1.? A dispatch fruni Isbpeming, Michigan, says: "A heavy snow has been falling ior the past six hoars. Reports from a number of points in tbe upper peninsula show that the storm is general. This is the first snow of the season." Columbia, S. C, September 28.? Richard Coleman, a prominent farmer of Edgefield county, lias recently been very despondent over the damages to the crops by tbe freshets. Yesterday he arose from tbe family dinner table, vent into an adjoining room and took bis guo, seated himself in a window, placed the muzzle of the gun against his heart, and pushed off the trigger with a yard stick, killing him instantly. He was fifty-three years old. Chattanooga, Benn., Sept. 30.?The Booth bond freight train on tbe Cincinnati Southern read ran over a cow near Shef? field, Tennessee, forty miles north of this city this morning and ditched tbe loco? motive and ten cars. A brakeman was instantly killed. Engineer Martin Quig iey so badly hurt that - he will die, and the 'fireman seriously injured. The wreck blocked the road for several hours.. Engineer Quigley was brought to his home in this city and his death is ex? pected at any moment. Spabtanbubg, September 25.?Jim Blackstock, a colored brakeman on tbe Spartanburg and Union Road, was- killed yesterday afternoon between Union and Sheltoo. His head was nearly severed from hid body by the wheels of the trucks. It is stated here that he was on top of tbe train and while passing from one car to the other, tbey became nncoupled and he fell between them. He was an indus? trious, well behaved man and leaves a large and dependent family. . Columbus,. Ga., September 80.?A freight train on tbe Columbus and Wes? tern Railroad fell sixty*three feet through Wild. Cat Creek trestle near here this morning, killing one white man and wounding a number of others. Sixteen cars and an engine were smashed. A surgical corps went down.with a wreck ing train at 3 o'clock this morning and returned to night bringing tbe dead and wounded. One train band died to-night. The trestle was a frame structure and could not'support the weight of the engine and train. Raleigh, N. C. October 1.?A very strange suicide, if such it may be termed,, occurred in Yadkin county last Thursday night. A white man' named Rufus Reavis forced his way into a room of Allgood's whisky distillery, hiding him sBlf under a shelf. He put one end of a syphon into a barrel of whisky and the other into his month. He Buffered tbe liquor to run into his stomach nntil tbat and his throat were filled, and thus he was found, dead, with whisky ponring from tbe end of tbe syphon in his mouth. He had literally his fill of liquor for once. His appearance was horrible in the ex? treme. Ottowa, Ont., Sept 26.?A shocking affair occurred at the exhibition grounds this afternoon. A young butcher named Tom Winsley was dashed to pieces by falling from a balloon at a height of over 1000 feet. A balloon ascension and par acute drop were advertised as the drawing card of the day. Among tbe volunteers to hold down the balloon was Winsley, who, with others, grasped tbe stout rope running ronnd the base of the balloon. When the order to let go was given, all released their hold with the exception of Winsley, who, retaining bis hold, 'was swiftly borne upwards. Tbe aeronaut was unable to help him. At the height of a thousand feet he let go, and was dashed to pieces on the ground. Valpabaiso, Chile, September 27.? A fearful calamity occurred here on tbe 11th inat. An artificial pond 800 feet above tbe level of tbe city burst, flooding the valley of Yangai and several streets. The flood came down in an irresistible torrent,'sweeping everything before it and bringing down rocks and trunks of trees with it. The stream came rushing through the street of San Juan de Dios in a wave twelve feet high. Shops were deluged and contents destroyed. Houses were swept away and their inhabitants drowned or brused to death. Seventy-five bodies had been buried yesterday of per? sons killed by this disaster. Tbe sum of $300,000 has been voted by Congress in Santiago to relieve the sufferers. New hospital wards have opened to shelter the homeless. A tailor named Tonis lost bis house, shops and contents, his wife and four children. Tbe loss of property will be probably a million dollars. * Calhoun, Ga., September 20.?Mr. Robert King, the owner and operator of a saw mill, four miles northeast of this place, met a most horrible death yester? day. While tbe saw was running, Mr. KiDg discovered that it was running loose, and not running true, and taking a wrench sat down and began trying to tighten it up. By some means bis band came in contact with tbe saw, which struck his hand between, the forefinger and thumb, and ripping up bis arm, drew him forward, causing him to fall face foremost on the saw; and his head was split almost in twain. He spoke to some one near him and directed them to go after a doctor, but he only survived about twenty minutes. Mr. King was an en? ergetic yonng man and has made saw milling profitable for several years past. He leaves, a wife and several children, father, mother and many relatives to mourn his sad and sudden death. Beaufobt, September 28.?The boiler in Mr. Politzer'? gin bonse exploded this afternoon about 3 o'clock, probabl" on account of no water in the boiler, as a few minutes before tbe engineer was packing the pump. The explosion carried the boiler and parts of tbe engine from tbe engine room and through tbe end of a store owned by E. A. Scheper and occu? pied by J. W. Allison, furniture dealer. The piston, head was blown tbe entire length-of a block and struck a house and came near killing Tolly, a shoemaker. The engineer and fireman were both instantly killed. The engineer's head and chest, with some other parts of his body, were fonnd on tbe roof of an adjoining1 building. Two boys by tbe name of Alston were on tbe street sixty feet from tbe engine room, and one of them was instantly killed and the other died about 7 o'clock this evening. The engine and boiler will be a total loss. Mr. Scheper and Mr. Allison are the heaviest losers. The damage to the build? ing is about $600 and the damage to the furniture in Mr. Allison's store is at least $500. The scene cannot be described. The rear end of the store, where tbe boiler entered, looks as though a railroad engine had fun into it. The boiler is lying in tbe centre of tbe furniture store. Augusta, Sept 27.?John August Rudin, a Swede, 27 years old, who has been in Augusta working several weeks, met with a horrible death at 2 o'clock this afternoon. He boarded with Mrs. Fannie Sills at the two mile crossing, on the Georgia Road, and to-day be deter? mined to steal a ride home. He got aboard an open freight car of the second section of an outgoing Georgia freight train. When be reached tbe crossing, be jumped out of the door, but bis coat was caught and be was dragged along until the wheels cut off both of bis legs at the knee, leaving them in bis boots. Ho was carried farther up tbe road and did not fall off until his hips were completely severed from his body. His lungs, heart and ribs were lying scattered on tbe track. The engineer of the third section of tbe freight train, which closely fol? lowed the second, did not see the body tbat was lying in the centre of tbe track, and tbat entire train also run over bim and mangled bim worse. In all about thirty cars and the locomotive passed over the body. Rudin was sober and bud with bim $6 55. He has a sister living in Jacksonville. His body was placed in a coffin in three separate pieces. The coroner's jury exonerate the railroad from blame._" ? A judge at Visalia, Cal., has bit upon a novel method of clearing bis district of tramps. Being arrested and taken before bim, he lectures thorn on the enormity 'of their oireuae, pronouue-'n them guilty, and tells them to come next day and receive sentence. Of course, they get out of his jurisdiction as quick as possible. Surviving Hydrophobia, St. Louis, Sept. 23.?The leading phyaiciana are greatly puzzled over the case of Willie Moehl. The lad ia 14 years old. On Friday afternoon he developed violent symptoms of hydrophobia. First he lost consciousness, then he revived and began barking like a dog and biting at the furniture. The neighbors came, accompanied by the physicians, and found the boy frothing at the mouth and chewing up the carpets. He snarled and barked and fought desperately when an attempt was made to overpower him. It required four men to bind- him, and he waa carried to a bed and fastened to the posts with ropes. As the Bight of the people seemed to increase the terrible malady the physicians ordered every one away. In order to determine if it wsb hydro? phobia a small pan of water was brought in the room, and the patient went frantic at the sight of it. The physicians then agreed , that it was hydrophobia. The parents were told that there waa no hope for the lad and that his death was liable to occur at any momcnr. After barking, biting and frothing all night he became unconscious, and remained thus for six hours. He woke up yesterday afternoon, rub? bed his eyes and wanted to know what he was tied up for. The physicians were thunderstruck. The boy was released, and when interrogated it was discovered that he had no recollection of what had happened during the twenty four hours. The physicians say the case is without parallel. The boy seems fully recovered. He says he has been bitten by dogs several times this summer. A Bride In a Balloon. Pbovidence, B. ? I., Sept. 29.?A young-couple were married in a balloon tLis afternoon at the State fair at Narra ganaett pier. They were Edward T. Davis, a shipping clerk, and Miss Margaret Buckley, both of this city. All day long the big balloon, the Commonwealth, had swayed in a lively wind, and there were 40,000 spectators at 4 o'clock when Bev. E. D. Hall, of St. Paul's Methodist chnrch, came upon the scene,- followed by the bridal couple. The ceremony was in the usual form and the bride bore herself with becoming modesty and blushed sweetly when the groom kissed her ruby lips. She was-dressed in a beautiful white satin dress, and her face beamed with eagerness for her romantic wedding trip.' Prof. James N. Allen, the aeronaut, en? tered the car, and the lines were cast off amid*breathless excitement. The b il!oon -rose rapidly whilethe great crowd cheered lustily. The bride responded by waving her handkerchief and the groom waved his hat. The balloon sailed off far to the northeast, and was soon lost in the dark? ness. The couple, it is understood, made the ascension for a money consideration. Up to a late hour to night the balloon bad not been heard from. * Nobth Easton, Mass., Sept. 27.?Prof. James N. Allen, who made a balloon ascension from the fairground at Provi? dence this afternoon, accompanied by Mr. and* Mrs. Edward T. Davis, who were married in the basket just before the ascension was made, landed in a cedar swamp in Eaaton this evening about 6 o'clock. The balloon dragged across tho swamp for nearly two miles, the party be? ing obliged to cling to the ropes above the basket to keep out of the water. ? They were finally rescued by the drag rope being caught by Mr. Henry Poole and others and made fast to a tree. Mr. and Mrs. Davis will proceed on their bridal trip by rail. Wiggins at it Again. Ottawa, Ont., Sept. 27.?Prof. Wig? gins said to night that the prevalence of yellow fever in the Southern States was due to astronomical causes.. "You re* member," said he, "that Prof. Grimmer predicted that the earth would fall into the sun June 19,1882. There was a par* tide of truth in what Grimmer said. When the planets were in the same line there waB a tendency to approach each other, and therefore to approach the sun. True, the earth's advance could not have exceeded a few miles from her normal orbit, still the effect has been so marked that even the most illiterate perceive that nature is temporarily demoralized. Who ever heard of such disasters as have occurred since that period? Cyclones, earthquakes, floods, cholera, yellow fever and what is to come who can tell ? All this is exactly what would happen if the earth were forced a few miles nearer the sun. When you squeeze an orange the juice is forced through the rind. The increased solar attraction would contract the earth's mass. The land surface would become smaller and the water would flow over it, hence floods and the report of riv? ers in all continents overflowing their banks. Then this shrinkage would not be uniform, and hence earthquakes. Then, again, the atmosphere' would become denser, and would, consequently, hold more carbon and its compounds in sola tion-producing microbea and thus cholera and yellow fever." Swallowed the Thermometer. The patient, a German who understood but little English, was admitted to the hospital for a fever not yet diagnozed, says Dr. M. Singer of Galveston, Tex., in the Medical Record. As soon aa I was seated by his bedside I introduced the thermom? eter into his mouth. Enjoining him at the same time not to bite or Bwallow it. StandiDg in-front of my patient I aaw the thermometer disappear in his mouth, while at the same time a motion as of deglutition was performed by the man. When I recovered from the shook such a sight gave me I requested my patient to open bis mouth. Sure enough the in? strument was there no longer, and when I asked the man in German what be had done with the thermometer he answered that he had understood me to say that he should, swallow it, and of course he bad obeyed orders. I snatched a blanket from the bed and spread it on the floor, then making the man lie flat on his stomach on the bed with the head hanging down over the edge of it, I told him that unless he wished to die he should introduce hie fingers as far down the throat as possible and make cue supreme effort to return that thermometer. This was quickly and efficiently done, for in less time than it takes me to relate it the thermometer was regurgigated and fell safe and sound on the blanket. I took the precaution of tying a thread to my instrument whenever it afterwards became necessary to take' the temperature of this or any other bright-minded patient. Jack Frost. Baltimore, Md., Sept. 29.?A special bom Deer Purk, Md., timed 1 p. m., say a a snow storm has been raging there for the last two hours.
