SPIRIT SCHEDULES DOING THE SENATE.
District Day In the House Followed by tha
Consideration of the Indian Appro
priation Hill and Other Roun-
tine Matters.
Washington, June 12.—The order of
work for the house this week is pretty
clearly blocked out by the managers,
but that the house will fulfil their de
sires is very uncertain. Today will be
devoted to the alfairs of the district of
Columbia. Then the Indian appropria
tion bill, of which seven pages were
considered last week, will again be
taken up under the five minute rule.
It is the hope of the leaders that it will
be out of the way by Wednesday night,
but the outlook is not ilatteriug. If
the bill still drags along later in the
week, a summary end to debate may
be secured by means of an order from
the committee on rules. Next in order
will come the bill to erect a goverment
printing office on one of the public re
servations in the city, Mr. Hatchs anti
option bill, or Mr. Coopers bill to tax
greenbacks as other money is taxed.
These three bills are marked for con
sideration after the Indian bill is out
of the way, and before the general de
ficiency bill shall be called up. The
order in which they will be considered,
however will depend upon the action
of the house itself.
The Week in the Senate.
The fourth draft of the pending tariff
bill which was laid before the senate
for consideration the 2nd of Inst April
names the 80th of June as the time
when the law shall go into effect
That day ends the fiscal year and
throughout all the prolonged debate
which h*s since occupied the senate
.Jones and Harris hare contended they
would begin collecting duties nnder
the new law with the beginning of the
new year. The present condition of
things he'dly supports their belief.
There are several important schedules
yet to be considered, to say nothing of
matters that have been left open pend
ing final action when the bill comes
out of the committee stage and goes
into the senate.
The spirit schedule will probably be
completed today and the debate on the
committee on schedule will then be
gin.
The wool schedule and the putting
of raw wool on the free list—questions
which will follow—are bound to call
out protracted debate. Prolific-sub
jects o' discussion will also be found
in the rates fixed on silk, papers, and
In the sundries schedule, where coal
will be found. Pear* buttons and
gloves will be made the basis of con
siderable talk and the free list can
hardly be disposed of in a day. Three
great items in the free list agricultur
al Implements, lumber and raw wool -
will be stubbornly fought for the pur
pose of making a record but without
hope of changing the result.
When the bill has been finally con
sidered in the committee of whole and
reported to the senate, the struggle
over sugar will be renewed. Mean
while the condition of appropriation
bills is giving the democratic leaders
uneasiness and if they do not get
through by June 80, joint resolutions
extending the terms of the present ap
propriation bills will have been passed.
CRAZED”BY JEALOUSY.
THE TRADE REPORTS.
IlradMrert. Frankly Admit, that South I.
Prominently Ahead.
New Your, June 9. —Rradstreets
says: Nearly all the unfavorable bus
iness conditions of the past three weeks
continue to exercise an influence. The
few exceptions where improvement is
noted are of practically local impor
tance. Retail trade at many centers
has been interfered with by unfavor
able weather and by further restric
tion of the purchasing power of thous
ands of wage earners, by further in
dustrial trouble or by shrinkage in
product! Mob violence, with at
tacks on life and property, have been a
feature of the situation, necessitating
interference by state troops in many
localities.
At larger eastern centers, there is no
improvement in general business.
Among southern cities covered, Rich
mond, Savant)ah, Jacksonville and Au
gusta report the more favorable condi
tions. At the first there is a better de
mand for groceries and provisions, for
agricultural implements and leaf to
bacco, which is quite active. Eastern
Florida vegetable regions report con
tinued improvement in crops and cor
responding stimulation among mer
chants, while at the Georgia centres
the volume of business is fair in most
lines and improved in one or two. Else
where south, dullness, slow collections
and surplus funds in banks, character-
ires business conditions. There is lit
tle that is far reaching amending evi
dences of improvement reported from
the west
Dun Regard, the Outlook Bright.
R. G. Dnn A Co’s., weekly report of
trade says the outlook for business
seems a little brighter on the whole,
though the change is not great. More
over. it is impossible to distinguish be
tween mere replacement of orders can
celled for want of fuel or other causes,
and the new business for which works
are anxiously looking. That cancela
tions have been heavy is certain, and
it is not entirely clear that Orders of
equal magnitude have gone to other
works that are able to till them.
Through the agency of strikes, the in
terruption of industry and commerce,
increases every week. Hence it is some
what encouraging that the decrease in
payments through clearing houses is
but 24.3 percent for the first week of
June 27.2 at New York, but only !9.4
elsewhere. The decrease in comparison
with 1892 is about 80 per cent

Staunton, Va., June 9—Lawrence
Spiller, convicted of the murder of Lot
tie Rowe, on April 28th, in the suburbs
of Staunton, was promptly hanged at
8:23 o'clock yesterday morning. The
drop was only four feet There w as a
plunge, the head dropped to one side,
the body slowly swung around and
came to a rest. Death seemed instan
taneous. The doctors declared the neck
broken. Respiration ceased instantly
and the heart ceased to beat in nine
minutes.
Spiller was visited in his cell at 7:30
o’clock in the morning by newspaper
men. who remained in the room seven
minutes. He looked very bright and
cheerful, and told the reporters that he
was perfectly reconciled to go. A num
ber of colored friends and ministers
and white persons interested in him
were also present. There was an al
most continual singing and praying.
Spiller ate a hearty breakfast with evi

kee Schooner.
Gi.ouccster, Mass., June 1*.--The
schooner Loring U. Haskell, of this
port, arrived home from the banks, and
Capt. Day tells the story of her escape
from the Canadian cruiser Vigilant on
last Monday. He states that on last
Saturday the Haskell ran Into Canso
for suppltea. One of the men wanted
to remain there, but Capt. Day would
not consent, and. for revenge, he be
lieves, the man told the anthorities that
t e Haskell had shipped men in Liver
pool in violation of the law, and as a
result the Vigilant was notified to seize
the vesseL
As the Haskell was passing Port
Hawkesbury the Vigilant's bow lay di
rectly in her path and ordered her to
stop. As Capt Day had a perishable
cargo, and it would be spoiled if the
schooner were seized, he refused to obey
the order. The Vigilant's guns ware
called into play, and three shots were
fired at the fleeing schooner, but she
did not stop, and in an hour left the
crusier far astern. Capt. Day says: "I
have violated no law, for I took out a
fishing license in Liverpool and one in
New Foundland, and have the right to
lay in harbor twenty-four hours with
out reporting at the custom-house.
ANOTHER FORGER CAUGHT.
THE THIRD BRIDGE BURNED.
Of Kncenrtlarv Origin, and Indications
Point to Striking Miners.
Bihminoiiam, June 12.—At an early
hour yesterday a bridge on the Linton
Branch of the Louisville A Nashville
was burned. This is the third railroad
bridge that has been burned within the
past four days and all of which fires
are supposed to have I een of incendiary
origin. Investigation showed that the
Linton bridge was set on fire, for brush
and oiled timbers were found at either
end. Suspicion points to the striking
miners but so far nothing has been
learned that will warrant the arrest of
suspected strikers who were known to
have been lurking in the vicinity of the
fire only a few hours before it started.
Saturday morning on the Kansas City,
Memphis and Birmingham railroad
near Adamsville, in front of a limited
mail from Memphis a bridge was fired
but the fire was discovered in time to
prevent the train from running into it.

(tufas Ray Murders Ills Wife and Seems
Insensible of the Crime.
Cl.AHKrivii.LK, Tenn., June 11. Rufus
Ray, a farmer living near Erin, in
Houston county, Tenn., is in jail for the
murder of his wife. Ray's wife was
seated at home sewing, when, without
warning, the brutal husband walked
up and brained her with an iron crow
bar, and the woman fell to the floor
dead. The father then sent his chil
dren to a neighbor with instructions to
tell of the deed he had committed. The
anthorities were notified and Ray was
arrested and pnt in jail.
When the officers arrested Ray he
was making attempts to out his throat
with a razor. He is now in jail at Erin.
No reason is given tor the murder.
Ray and his wife have not had personal
disagreements so far as is known. The
murderer seems indifferent about the
affair and does not seem to realize
what he has done. He was probably
crazed and perhaps by jealousy.
