Washington, Jan. 19.—The house committee on invalid pensions baa agreed to increase from 973 to (100 a month the pension to soldiers who lost both hands. There are only twenty of such on the roll. BUT LITTLE DONE YET TO AVERT PlTTSBUlUJ, Jan. IV.—One of Miss Van Zandt's relatives in this city haa received a letter from that young lady in which she says: "I am determined to marry the condemned Anarchist if I have to do so on tho scaffold." She said that she had understood that society in Pittsburg and elsewhere was greatly shocked at what was called her disgraceful action." "Would you oall it disgraceful in your by-gone days," she say is, "if you learned that a girl who worshiped true heroism, as I do, had married Kossuth or Garibaldi! August Spies is their equal ip every particular, and loved liberty just as greatly as they, but, like them, he has to suffer from the oppressor. Qid you think Robert Emmet a criminal because he died on the scaffold? Some did. So it is with August Spies at preeent. He is called a murderer and assassin, but oae day he will be looked on as a martyr." She says that she loves the Chicago "Anarch" with all her heart and that she rows he will never bo executed. She referred to Carl Schurz aa one who was "looked down on in his country, tame to this country and held high positions. It is now the same with Spies." Miss Van Zandt inclosed a 'photograph of 8pie«, on which was written in her own handwriting: "A cruel country's martyr, but my hero." Mr. and Mil. F. T. Lust, of Oakland, also near relatives of Miss Van Zandt, say they never thought that lady capable of committing such an outrageously foolish act, and now disclaim all relationship to her. Hiss Van Zandt's grandparents, Mr. and Mm Clarke, are both over 80 years of age, and feel what they term "the disgrace" very keenly.  SLOWLY, A FAMINE. -£  The legislative committee of the New Jersey Federation of Trades and Labor held a meeting last night. Carrol] an l Donohue, the labor members of the assembly, were in attendance. The following resolutions wera adopted: But torn* Aspirants Have Cans* to Thtak That Thoy Grind exceeding Mna — Albany Statesmen Exchange Compliments.

Other. Albany, Jan. 10.—At 8 o'clock last night Senator ritts called tho caucus to order. Gen. Curtis rose, stated that Senator Kellogg had left the city, his wife being seriously lit, and bad arranged a pair and wished that this pair, by unanimous consent of tho caucus, continue during his indefinite absence. No action was taken on the subject at the tims. The roil call showed (Senator Kellogg and Assemblymen Rea and Eldridge absent When Senator Kellogg's name was called Senator stated that he hnd agreed to pair with Kellogg on the conditions that Kellogg'* vote be always recorded for Miller, but that he (Fasseti) mi?ht vote for any one he wished J)n motion of Senator Sloan he (Sloan), at the alleged request of Kellogg, was permitted by the caucus on all questions to vote for Kellogg. Whereas, It has been rumored that the legislative committee of the New Jersey federation of Trades and Labor Unions, which fc the only official body representing the trades and labor organizations of this state, is in some way associated with, or resjionsible Spr, the acts of individual member o!' the house of assembly, and Washington. Jan. 19.—Something of a sensation was created last night in the barber shop at Willard's hotel when Congressman J. Floyd King, of Louisiana, and Cutbbert B. Jones, of the same state, had a personal enoounter. It will be remembered that for two years Mr. Jones has been making a vigorous war upon King and was the cause of his defeat for a renomination. The trouble between the two men is of long standing and found its origin in a family feud of a number of years ago. Last night before Jones left the barber shop he turned to one tho employes and asked if King owed nny money there and advised the shopkeeper not to trust him. King at the time was in the shop waiting his turn. Jones went over to wKeraf King was sitting and opened conversation. As the house refused by a vote of 18B to 78 to table the Blair educational bill, the friends of that measure infer that it will be passed, or if not that a two-thirds vote can be secured hereafter. F New York, Jan. 19.—Alfred 8. Swords, vice-president of the Coal Exchange said yesterday that everything was at a standstill as regarded the coal question. r.Di"fr has got to be settled soon,'* he "and the sooner the better for us all. If tho coal men can call out the miners and the train men they can win. If they, can't, the companies will win. One might as well call heads or tails as to try to prophesy how things stand with reference to the result The position is clear enough, but the outcome isn't." Mr. R. W. De Forrest, attorney for the receiver of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, said that nothing had beeh done yesterday, but that there would be some news to-day. A resolution passed the house providing fer an investigation of the conduct of the Pacific railroads. The resolution authorises the secretary of the interior to appoint three persons at a compensation of not more than $8,000 per annum each and traveling expenses, and a stenographer, if necessary, to examine into the working and financial management of the Pacific railroads that have received aid from the government in bonds or laud; to ascertain whether they have observed all the obligations imposed on them by the laws governing such aid; and whether their books and accounts have been kept to show the net earnings, not feduoed by constructive mileage on branch roads or divtrted to any wrongful or improper purpose, and if so, how much; and whether there is discrimination of rates in favor of unaided against aided roads; and if money is due th* United States on account at. erroneous accounts, of if the proceeds of any trust fund loan have been diverted from their lawful use. The persons appointed shall have the power to examine all books, papers and methods of the companies; employ experts, summon and compel attendance or witnesses and to administer oaths. The persons appointed shall be under the control of the secretary, and in his discretion may at any time be removed. In addition the dutii* imposed by the various amendments shall be carried out. An appropriation of 980,000 is made lor the investigation. ■ Whereas, The stat* legislative committee noting for, and by tbe authority of the State Federation of Trades, has no political affiliation whatsoever, and only seeks the enactment of measures for tho benefit of the wage workers of all parties, and Whereas, This committee is the only litbor body authorized to speak and act for and in the name of united labor throughout New Jersey; and (Mr. Maxwell of the Long Island Railroad oompanr said his company had all the coal it needed, and would sail to retailers in Brooklyn for $4.*75 a ton. Whereas, The contest for office in tho legislature, or for the position of United-States senator, does not come within the limits of our interference; be it - Resolved, Tliat this Committee makes it known to the public that the interference of jfersons outside this committee with matters relating to labor in the legislature is uncalled for, improper and unauthorized. Be it f urtlier with the congressman by speaking disrespectfully of his father and mother, and using an offensive epithet about the person to whom he was speaking. To all this abuse King made no reply. A telegram was read from Assemblyman Ren, stating that sickness prevented his attendance, that he was in favor of Senator Miller, and asked that a pair be secured for him. At a meeting of the Brooklyn Retail Coal Dealers'' Exchange a report was received from the committee appointed to Inquire what the facilities of the Long Island Railroad oompauy were for handling the ooal. The committee said the company did not anticipate any trouble in continuing to ship coal, as so far there had been no interference by the labor organisations. The committee did not believe that the company had so tar shippad mora than 900 tona. The members of the exchange evidently thought that little reliance could be placed in the company to supply the demand. The price was fixed a* $5.50 a ton at the yards. Ur. Jones repeated his language and said that he stood ready to prove all that he had said. Still Mr. King remained motionless and siient. Mr. Jones becoming more enraged at the extraordinary manner of Mr. King, laid his hand in a semi-menacing manner upon the (ace of the Louislanian, with the hope of provoking him to resent the insults he was heaping upon him. But there was no response. Mr. Routed thought this courtesy due to Air. Ilea and moved the same, but Senator* Erwin and Raines opposed the privilege, not deeming the case similar Co that of Senator Kellogg. Resolved, That this committee publioly notifies the members of the legislature that labor organizations of this state have not authorized any persons to interfere in the contest for the United States senatonhip, and cannot as a committee interfere in any deals or contests for office. Senator Raines moved to lay the motion to pair Rea on the table, and this was carried by 47 to 45, the Morton and Hiacock forces combining. A HOT CAMPAIGN. Dominion Politicians Have Their Hands The presiding officer ordered the third ballot of the contest (first of the evening) and it resulted: There is scarcely any comparison between the two men in physical powers. Mr. King is a powerfully built man, weighing perhaps 225 pounds, while Mr. Jones is a small, thin, wiry, nervous little fellow who will tip the scales at about 145 pounds. Ottawa, Jul 10.—The first bunt of ex. dtement over the dissolution of parliament is over and politician* are now settling down steadily for the fight. An Immense amount of work has already bean dona. The cabinet has been in session for the past two days, presumably engaged in fixing up the appointment* of returning officers and other matters incidental to the election. An extra edition of The Canada Gaaette contains three proclamations, one dissolving parliament and another directing that the writs shall be made returnable on April 7, and a third calls parliament to meet ca that day. Both parties lire apparently determined that there shall be no lack of information on the subjects that divide the parties. Carloads of campaign literature will be ready for distribution in a few days and sent broadcast throughout the Dominion Vail. Miller, 45; Morton, 88; Hiscock, 11; their* being but one change from Monday night, that of Da Ties, who diverted Hfecock for Millar. Hiacock offset this low by the acquisition of Moess, who was not present on Monday evening. Daviea had all along bean considered a doubtful quantity. A fourth ballot was immediately taken, which resulted exactly as the third. Mr. Krwto (Morton) moved to adjoarn. ONE MORE VOTE The Pennsylvania company attempted to transfer a train of coal cart from its piers at the foot of Second street, Jersey City, at dusk yesterday, bat • crowd of fifty strikers jumped on the cars and persuaded the brakemen to abandon their posts. Only a few cars were got on the'floata. When the police arrived at the piers it was too dark for the company's workman to do anything mora toward getting the cars on the floats. I* all That Judge Tarple Wanted Ttaterdaj. Mr. Jones said to a Press representative that he had made every attempt to provoke King to a desire to fight to a finish. "I was not armed," continued Mr. Jones, "and never carry any weapons. King has injured me and the good name of my family and all I ask is the opportunity of reaping satisfaction. I have tried every possible way to cause him to resent the abuse I have given him, but he is too much of a coward to meet me." Indianapolis, Jan. 19.—The senate and houm of representatives hare voted separately for United States senator. In the senate Benjamin Harrison received 18 and in the house 53 votes, while David Turpie hod 32 ip the first and 43 in the second house. Jason M. Allen, nominated by the Labor-Greenbackers, has four votes in the house, one from the Democrats, RoMnson, and three from the Republicans, Galen, Glover and Mackey. Other Knights of Labor went with their old parties. Harrison required on this showing five votes for election while Turpie needs but one. There is no doubt unless the effort for compromise informally te&un between a few senators and representatives amounts to something, but that two conventions will be held. On this point much interest is axpressed in regard to Lieutenant Governor Robinson presiding. It is intimated that the sheriff and deputies will be in waiting to prevent any intent on his part to violate the restraining order of Judge Ayres. The hotel lobbies are crowded with anxious politicians and all kinds of rumors are circulating, but none worthy of acceptance except that further attempts will be made to compromise. Lieutenant Governor Robinson will, no doubt, preside in the joint convention in the house. It was expected that the argument on his appeal from Judge Ayres' decision would be heard yesterday, but the transcript did not reach the supreme court until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. In the majintime one of the judges left the city and the case was continued until next week. NEW YORK BAR ASSOCIATION Hold Thai* Tuth Assssl Meeting aI Albany* Albaxt, Jan. IS.—The State Bar sweetstion convened In tenth annual session, with Governor Hill presiding. There was a very large attendance and much interest mat shown. Governor Hill opened his addresi with a tribute to jostles, which should govern every member of the bar, and ther urged that industry was the key to luooess ir the profession. Referring to the admission of women to the bat ha said: "Our pro fession, with becoming gallantry, will welcome the sex in this new field of honor and usefulness which has been opened to them, and will gracefully wish them that degree oi seccess that years ago marked the efforts oi that 'well deserving pillar' of tlMk law, Portia, when she made her able but somewhat technical argument In behalf of strict justice in the forum of ancient Veniofc." The 100 armed Pinkertou men, In charge of Patrick who were sworn in as special policemen by City Clerk flcott, of Jersey City, on Monday night, patrolled the docks of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad company yesterday. About 300 non-union men ware at work under the protection of these specials end fifteen policemen. It was feared by the strikers that outsiders mignt go to the dock* and oause trouble, and that they would get the blamei To prevent any destruction of the railroad- property, therefore, a picket committee of fifteen was sent to the docks. They were ordered off by the Pinkerton men. They started away, but John Kennedy, of Hoboken, one of the strikers, who was in the rear of his companions, was prodded, as he alleges, in the back with a club by one of the Pinlierton men. He pro. tested, and the detective he says, struck him two violent blows in the face with his fist Kenny hurried away and got a warrant from Justice of the Peace Wintteld & Weed. The justice had no oonstabla on hand, and he deputised John Condon on the dock to serve it Condon then asked one of the Jersey policemen to help feint serve it, but the policeman replied that &e was there to preserve order and not toaafbt constable*, in making arrests. Mr. Piatt (Miller) denounoed the motion, and Senator Coggsshall (Morton) made the point of order that it was not debatable. No time until which the adjournment motion should have effect having been stated, the chairman declared Mr. Piatt in order, and ha amended the motion that a vote be taken in ten minutes, and at the same time aaailing the Mortonltes for seeking to delay matters. Representative Baker (Miller) bitterly upbraided the Morton men for wishing to defer flatter action, saying there were shysters in the body, and declaring that he was willing to wait till this morning sun flushed the eastern sky, if need be. His aoonsation of shystars drew forth a warm retort . The quarrel broke out last June, when it was reported in Washington that Mr. Jones was to be appointed United States consul at Calloa. The news of this brought out an account of a feud between the Liddell and Joqfex families involving, it was said, a number of assassinations and murders. The feud began before Cutbert Jones was born. The Washington Bunday Herald published an account of the troubles, written by Col. Roberts, a somewhat eccentric character, formerly well known in Washington. No attention was paid to this, but a publication in The Pittsburg Dispatch in which an Interview with J. Floyd-King was given provoked Mr. Jones to such an extent that he sent a friend to seek an explanation. In the interview Mr. King is made to recount the story of the feud and afterwards to speak lightly of the mothers of Cuthbert Jones and the Liddells. Mrs. Jones is 72 years old and highly respected In the community where she lives. Mrs. Liddell has been dead for more than fifteen years and not a word was ever breathed against her reputation. Judging from the tone of the press, the Issues in the coming campaign will closely approximate those of the recent contests in • Ontario and Quebec. The execution of Rial, the flght for supremacy of the French and Ihurliih races, the religious question,* the protective tariff and the rapid growth of the national debt will be chief among the" subjects for discussion by the campaign orators on either side. The prediction is this early made that the campaign will be a hot on* and the result uncertain to the very last Senator Hassett lad the attack, declaring -there were no shysters among the Morton or Hiscock people, but that there was no a£- .pearanoe of a change of temper in the cavAis, and ha advised adjournment that oahn deliberation might be had He also referred to the fact that in a previous oonteat Warner Miller had delayed things two motftte to oompass his election. Mr. Baker interposed that in that contest that it was not Warner Miller who had furnished the clog, but that ill three days after the men Won of his name he was elected. Hon. Henry Hitchcock delivered an ddress on "Recent Changes in American State Constitutions." Hon. David Dudley Field was the next speaker, and was followed by Hon. N.CC. Moak on a paper on expert testimony. At &S0 the meeting adjourned till I o'clock to-day. Dovxn, DeL, Jan. 19.—Maj. Benjamin T. Biggs, the first governor elected for twelve years by the 8aulsbury (action of the Daiawary democracy, took the oath of office yesterday. The oath was administered by Chanceller Saulsbury, the Bible used being a Latin edition, dated 1731. All the prominent Democrats of the state, except those, of the Bayard taction, were precant Governor Biggs read his inaugural address. In It he advocated the election of oounty officers instead of the appointment thereof, the calling of a constitutional convention, and other preforms that have been urged for some tima. Delaware's Governor. At 9 o'clock last evening a large oompany ■at down to a banquet The toasts wen offered and replied to in the following order: "The State of New York," Governor frill; "The Legal Profession," Hod. H. H. Hitch cock; "United States Courts," Hon. Judge Coze; "The Court of Appeals," Han. Jnc$e Earl; "The Supreme Court," Hon. Judge Van Brunt; "The Legislature," Hon. D. D. Field; "The Press," St. Clair MoKelway, "The Medical Profession," Dr. Ward. Mr. Krwin roundly abused Baker for using the word shyster, which he mkl was a digrap* table word. Mr. Erwin then called for the adjournment vote, as the time named in Piatt's amendment had passed. The Joint conventions meet at noon to-day. Mr. Jones was, of course, much ontraged at such a publication. He sent a friend to the correspondent of The Dispatch to ask whether King really made use of the language imputed to him. He also sent to Mr. King, who denied having used such language. Mr. King called upon the correspondent and told him that he made no such declaration. The correspondent wrote an acknowledgment of the errors in his original communication, which was regarded as satisfactory by Mr. Jones. » The strikers pppuled .to Mayor Orestes Cleveland to um bis authority to caussthe arreet of tha Piukerton detective who assaulted Kennedy. The nqrw said ha would see to it that tha Pinkertan man was arreatad to-day. Connectlcat Legislature. Hartford, Jan. 19.—Both branches of the legislature balloted separately for United States senator. In the senate Gen. Joseph P. Haw ley (Bap.) received 13 aud Han. Charles R. Ingersoll (Dem.) 10, two Republicans being absent * In the house the vote was: Whole number of votes, 227; majority, 114. Joseph R Hawley, 188; Charles R Ingersoll, 98; Henry C. Buldwiu, L The vote for Henry C. fttildwiu was cast by Frederick H. Kin-, Labor, of Naugatuck. Both branches rnei in joint convention to-day and took the final vote. The house, under suspension of rules in concurrence with the senate, passed a resolution appointing Alfred B. Beers judge of the city court of Bridgeport for two years. Mr. Hosted instantly moved as an amendment that a vote be taken in five minutes, and after asserting that the Morton men had disregarded the constitutional authority-in requiring a majority of the Republican legislators to nominate, and that although the Miller men had acquiesced, in fact fortytwo was only accessary to nominate, and forty-one sufficient to elect in joint session. Be then began flattering Mr. Erwin, the recognised leader, for his proverbial generosity (Mr. Krwin threw him a kiss for the compliment), and appealed to his "courtesy if not .his justice," to allow another ballot before Adjournment. Mr. Krwin replftl that he had found on previous occasions that courtesy to Mr. Busted had resulted to his (Erwin's) disadvantage. He cited the fact of Senator Fassett (Morton) having generally agreed to "pdtr" with Senator Kellogg (Miller) who was absent; that after this courtesy the Miller! tea had attempted to gain Rea's vote, who was absent, by a telegram; that telegrams had not always proven correct in the past, (referring to the bogus telegram when Folger was nominated for governor), and ha declined to assent to further balloting at present. Mr. Husted withdrew his amendment A LAWYER AND WITNE88 "If the strike is sot settled to-day," the strikers in Bohoken said, "we shall knock off the freight taakamen from Hoboken to SeraoUm."

Whltmarsh was blown into the water, His body was 40c recovered. Several other persons were styghfty injured. , y. The story told by Mr. King was to the effect that the Joneses and Liddells were wealthy planters on the Black river in Louisiana. There was a good deal of bickering between the families which culminated one day in Mrs. Liddell, a young and beautiful woman, riding to the Jones plantation, charging Mr. Jones with circulating a defamatory story and shooting him in the face. Next day the Joneses waylaid and killed a son of Mrs. Liddell. The Liddells retaliated, and in a pitched battle three or four persons were killed and several wounded? A sort of compromise was affected after this, bnt there were occasional encounters between the members of the two families. Finally the Joneses father and son, boarded a steatae:- and shot Gen. Liddell. The murderers wore lodged in jail, but that night a party of Liddell's friends took the elder Jones and one son from the jail and lynched them. The other son, Cuthbert Bullitt Jones, the man who insulted Mr. King, escaped by a desperate leap.
