J., met last night to hear the report of a committee appointed by district session No. .8 to investigate the charges of fraud made against the institution. The committee visited the headquaiters at Paterson and made a searching investigation, and as a result they report that they found a deficiency in the aD*counts of $3,(Ml.Hi. They say they were told contradictory stories by the general officers and were not allowed a free inspection of the books of the concern.

Washington, Feb. 14.—The house in the Smalte-Klliott contested election case decided to Met Elliott by a vote of: Yeas, 143 nays, 13U One of these, Mrs. William Burroughs, had killed her husband with a razor because of grief at his intention of abandoning her. Thr other rase was that of a Mrs. Whiteling, who had poisoned her husband and two children. Mr. Chamberlain thought that there was a possibility that both cases might be explained as a form of insanity due to tue causes men timed. New York, Feb. 14.—Col. John C. New started for Indianapolis apparently very well satisfied with the result of his mission. He had the manner of a man who had been successful in his undertaking. When he left Indianapolis he received instructions from Gen. Harrison to find out all he could, but to impart as little information as possible. Above all, he was to be mysterious. CoL New, however, was not altogether successful in carrying out Gen. Harrison's injunction af secrecy. He did not betray himself, so far as could be learned, by any slip of the tongue, but he, in an indiscreet moment, Jotted down a few notes on a slip of paper. When Col. New arrives in Indianapolis and searches his pockets for this paper he will not find it. It was dropped in the corridor of the Gilsey house and subsequently picked up by a politician.In concluding their report the committee recommend that proceedings in equity be begun, and a receiver asked tor to wind up the organization's affairs. Tho bonds of the supreme teller and supreme secretary, the report says, are on deposit with a New York trust company, and, being valid, will make up the apparent deficiency and secure the members from loss. A number of bills were passed finally, among them being that dividing the citi-.s of the state into three classes, with respect to their population, and designating the mode o( ascertaining and changing the classification thereof; also that making the first Monday in September in each ye.ii- a legal holiday, to be known as Labor Day. POWDER The debate was the hottest and most violent that has occurred during the session. In defending southern election methods Mr. Crisp said that representatives of a state whickhad to resort to "blocks of five" had better look at home before going abroad in search of election fraud. This fired the Indiana members, who camo promptly to their feet. Clerk Bell, the president, declared that Pennsylvania had hanged four lunatics within the past six years, but thought the society should be careful in its acts, because it had already interfered twice in Pennsylvania matters. Dr. Beach, now generally admitted tc have been an epileptic lunatic, had been hanged, despite Mi'. Bell's personal appeal to Governor Pattison. Mr. Chamberlain's mo tiou for a committee of investigation into the cases of the two women was carried, and Mr, Bell appointed as the committee Mr. Cham, berlain,ex-Governor Hoyt,of Pensylvania, Dr Alice Bennett, of the Honsebury insane asy luni, Dr. Brice, of Alabama, and Dr. Rice, ol Mississippi The committee on agriculture in the house reported, with slight amendment, the recommitted bill regulating the practice of veterinary surgery and mcdicint_ The report was adopted, and the committee continued. Another meeting will be held next Wednesday, to 1DW tl»» report of whatever steps the committee may take in the meantime, The committee on corporations reported favorably the bill empowering the real estate title companies to hold real estate in cities not exceeding 5,000 acres, and other pa l'ts of the state not exceeding 10,000 acres, for the purpose of selling and insuring homes. The bill provides that the said compaui&D may insure the lives ot the purchasers of such homes, and in case of death apply the insurance money to the payment of the mortgage on such homes. Absolutely Pure. Mr. Crisp declined to permit interruptions, and in the midst of the uproar his time expired. Then a scene of intense tumult and •confusion ensued. During the delivery of Mr. Crisp's speech the main aisle of the house lin/l become thronged with members of both parties, who kept up an incessant demand for the regular order.

Elizabethfort, N. J., Feb. 14.—People were startled by the report that Miss Jcniife Englebert, noted as one of the prettiest young ladies in New Jersey, had fired a bullet into her brain because htS- intended husband had deserted her (or another. The news traveled with great rapidity, for Miss Englebert war known and greatly liked by most of the people in the town. Her beauty made her a great favorite with the young men, and hei kindness and gentleness of manner won the hearts of all. The committee to which was referred the matter of the future conduct of the soldiers' orphans school, decided to recommend the appointment of a committee of five to consult with a house and senate committee and for mulate legislation on the subject. Heat* Ye. The municipal corporation committee reported favorably the bill authorizing thf park commissioners C6f Fairmount park to lay out a fast drive or race track iu tlio park whereon fast horses may bo speeded; also, favorably, the bill to prevent the delivery 01 bread on Sunday. A RUNNING FIGHT, He was finally obliged to call upon the sergeant at arms. That official, armed with the silver mace of authority, proceeded up 'the main aisle, scattering the members on all «ides, but eveu with his assistance it wan many minutes before the presiding officer could bring the body to a state of comparative quiet. Then Mr. Crisp asked leave to extend his remarks in the Record; but Mr. Johnston (Ind.) objected unless he could be given the same permission in answer, he said, to the fling made against his state by Mr. Crisp. At Mr. Rowell's suggestion, however, leave was granted to Mr. Crisp to print, and Mr. Johnston again came forward with his request, but Mr. O'Ferrall (Va.) objected. The McAll!ifl'e-Myer Fight Comes Off lr The announcement by Mrs. Anna Wittenmyer that the W. R C. have perfected arrangements for the erection of a home for soldiers' widows and orphans, and indigent soldiers and their wives, was greatly applauded. The building is estimated to cost $800,000.

North Jcdson, Ind., Feb. 14.—The Myer- McAuliffe fight carna off after all. Aftei convincing the sheriff that the "controversy" was closed, he went away, and he had ijc sooner gone that arrangements weri perfected, and thC fight took placo iu the forenoon. Tht sheriff returnee and stopped it ii the twelfth round, but he was "fixed,' and the battle went on until sixty-foui tedious rounds hat been gone througl with. The battle. In an hour after the shooting occurred groups of men and women were to be seen on the street corners discussing the occurrence, and many an imprecation against the faithless sweetheart was heard. Who he was the report did not state. Before the shooting none had heard of the fair victim's intended marriage, and the story was a great surprise. Miss Englebert was 22 years old, and up to three weeks ago was a governors in the family of a wealthy resident of Elizabethport. Why she gave up her position was not known until last night, when It was found that it was bojause of her intended wedding, which was to have taken place on Feb. 8. It would appear from this that ex-Senator Piatt is not going to be recognized. His friends 'rnve lost much of their confidence in the last ;wo or three days. Th6y practically admit that Mr. Piatt has very little chance of going into the cabinet, Some of them intimate that Mr. Piatt does not really cafe much about a place in the cabinet since he has received certain hints as to Gen. Harrison's policy. ' They think it would be practically impossible for Mr. Piatt to remain long in the cabinet in any event. There was a public installation of W. R C. officers at 8 o'clock last evening in G. A. R hall i kenton, Feb. 14.—The New Jersey department of the Grand Army of the Republic closed its annual encampment by the election of the following offlcere: Department com mander, W. B. E.

The speaker laid before the house three messages from the president, announcing his disapproval of private pension bills. Referred to the committee on invalid pensions. Mr. Dates (Ala.), from the committee on judiciary, reported a bill to amend the naturalization laws. Indianapolis, Feb. 14.—Cabinet gossip here has been failing badly for the last two or three days. A season of dullness and reaction seems to have set in. Little information that is at once authentic and suggestive has leaked out since Sunday, and there is a settled conviction amoug the political speculators that (Jen. Harrison has practically suspended work on his cabinet. It is conjectured that the New York problem is still thi real obstacle in the president-elect's way, am. no solution of that problem is looked for until about the time that General Harrison start east. The whole of the long session of the morning was taken up with a debate on the bill tc remove Superintendent Fuller from office. Speeches were made by half of the members. The bill was passed by a straight party vote: 32 to 20. Ferris anj Ross Ham, Bacon and Beef. At 1 o'clock the joint session to count the •lectoral vote was begun. It lasted until 3:30.

It was long anC tedious, but neither fighter drew enougi blood to soil an evening necktie. After fight ing sixty-four rounds, which consumed near); four hours and a half, Referee McDonald dt clared the battle a draw. There was nothinj else for him to do. Myer, who is usually i whirlwind fighter, took the defensive fron the start, and in all of the sixty-four round made but four leads. He seemed afraid o McAuliffe. It looked as though he was no. counting on anything much better than i draw. NEW RACING ASSOCIATION Butter of all grades, up to choioe creamery. It# Object la to Protect Half Mile Track* Boston, Feb. 14.—The twenty-second annual encampment of the Massachusetts department, G. A. R, resumed its sessions at 9 a. m. The consideration of the committee reports on Department Commander Walker's address was continued. The minority report, recommending the transfer of $l,64tt to tht employment bureau (to which the address said it belonged) instead of to the Veterans Rights' union, was adopted. At 10 a. m. the encampment proceeded to tho election of officers, and 559 votes were cast for department commander and 528 for senior vice commander, without resulting in a choice. At 11:30 a. m.

Lancaster, Pa., Feb. 14.—The representatives of the fair associations in this state, New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware met here and organized the National Half Mile Track and Agricultural association, for the purpose of protecting the half mile tracks, ot which there are 1,000 in the United States, from "ringers" and other frauds. from Frauds.

Philadelphia, Feb. 11—Representatives of about 1,200 of the 2,000 members in this city of the Financial Union, a beneficial organization of Paterson, N. J., met last night to hear the report of a committee appointed by district session No. .8 to investigate the charges of fraud made against the institution. The committee visited the headquaiters at Paterson and made a searching investigation, and as a result they report that they found a deficiency in the aD*counts of $3,(Ml.Hi. They say they were told contradictory stories by the general officers and were not allowed a free inspection of the books of the concern.

Thomas J. Stewart, Philadel phia, was elected department commander bj a vote of 513 to 253 cast for Gen. D. B. Mo Lereary, of Erie. The other offirors choser were; Senior vice commander, Capt. J. V.

Williams, Philadelphia Council of administration, John F. Hunter. Pittsburg; William Emsley, Philadelphia; R I. Meyers, Philadelphia; L. W. Stengle, Phil adelphia, and E. T. Sellers, Philadelphia. Two bills were introduced relating to insurance, and the government of some railway companies. Washington, Feb. 14.—The house in the Smalte-Klliott contested election case decided to Met Elliott by a vote of: Yeas, 143 nays, 13U One of these, Mrs. William Burroughs, had killed her husband with a razor because of grief at his intention of abandoning her. Thr other rase was that of a Mrs. Whiteling, who had poisoned her husband and two children. Mr. Chamberlain thought that there was a possibility that both cases might be explained as a form of insanity due to tue causes men timed. New York, Feb. 14.—Col. John C. New started for Indianapolis apparently very well satisfied with the result of his mission. He had the manner of a man who had been successful in his undertaking. When he left Indianapolis he received instructions from Gen. Harrison to find out all he could, but to impart as little information as possible. Above all, he was to be mysterious. CoL New, however, was not altogether successful in carrying out Gen. Harrison's injunction af secrecy. He did not betray himself, so far as could be learned, by any slip of the tongue, but he, in an indiscreet moment, Jotted down a few notes on a slip of paper. When Col. New arrives in Indianapolis and searches his pockets for this paper he will not find it. It was dropped in the corridor of the Gilsey house and subsequently picked up by a politician.In concluding their report the committee recommend that proceedings in equity be begun, and a receiver asked tor to wind up the organization's affairs. Tho bonds of the supreme teller and supreme secretary, the report says, are on deposit with a New York trust company, and, being valid, will make up the apparent deficiency and secure the members from loss. A number of bills were passed finally, among them being that dividing the citi-.s of the state into three classes, with respect to their population, and designating the mode o( ascertaining and changing the classification thereof; also that making the first Monday in September in each ye.ii- a legal holiday, to be known as Labor Day. POWDER The debate was the hottest and most violent that has occurred during the session. In defending southern election methods Mr. Crisp said that representatives of a state whickhad to resort to "blocks of five" had better look at home before going abroad in search of election fraud. This fired the Indiana members, who camo promptly to their feet. Clerk Bell, the president, declared that Pennsylvania had hanged four lunatics within the past six years, but thought the society should be careful in its acts, because it had already interfered twice in Pennsylvania matters. Dr. Beach, now generally admitted tc have been an epileptic lunatic, had been hanged, despite Mi'. Bell's personal appeal to Governor Pattison. Mr. Chamberlain's mo tiou for a committee of investigation into the cases of the two women was carried, and Mr, Bell appointed as the committee Mr. Cham, berlain,ex-Governor Hoyt,of Pensylvania, Dr Alice Bennett, of the Honsebury insane asy luni, Dr. Brice, of Alabama, and Dr. Rice, ol Mississippi The committee on agriculture in the house reported, with slight amendment, the recommitted bill regulating the practice of veterinary surgery and mcdicint_ The report was adopted, and the committee continued. Another meeting will be held next Wednesday, to 1DW tl»» report of whatever steps the committee may take in the meantime, The committee on corporations reported favorably the bill empowering the real estate title companies to hold real estate in cities not exceeding 5,000 acres, and other pa l'ts of the state not exceeding 10,000 acres, for the purpose of selling and insuring homes. The bill provides that the said compaui&D may insure the lives ot the purchasers of such homes, and in case of death apply the insurance money to the payment of the mortgage on such homes. Absolutely Pure. Mr. Crisp declined to permit interruptions, and in the midst of the uproar his time expired. Then a scene of intense tumult and •confusion ensued. During the delivery of Mr. Crisp's speech the main aisle of the house lin/l become thronged with members of both parties, who kept up an incessant demand for the regular order.

Elizabethfort, N. J., Feb. 14.—People were startled by the report that Miss Jcniife Englebert, noted as one of the prettiest young ladies in New Jersey, had fired a bullet into her brain because htS- intended husband had deserted her (or another. The news traveled with great rapidity, for Miss Englebert war known and greatly liked by most of the people in the town. Her beauty made her a great favorite with the young men, and hei kindness and gentleness of manner won the hearts of all. The committee to which was referred the matter of the future conduct of the soldiers' orphans school, decided to recommend the appointment of a committee of five to consult with a house and senate committee and for mulate legislation on the subject. Heat* Ye. The municipal corporation committee reported favorably the bill authorizing thf park commissioners C6f Fairmount park to lay out a fast drive or race track iu tlio park whereon fast horses may bo speeded; also, favorably, the bill to prevent the delivery 01 bread on Sunday. A RUNNING FIGHT, He was finally obliged to call upon the sergeant at arms. That official, armed with the silver mace of authority, proceeded up 'the main aisle, scattering the members on all «ides, but eveu with his assistance it wan many minutes before the presiding officer could bring the body to a state of comparative quiet. Then Mr. Crisp asked leave to extend his remarks in the Record; but Mr. Johnston (Ind.) objected unless he could be given the same permission in answer, he said, to the fling made against his state by Mr. Crisp. At Mr. Rowell's suggestion, however, leave was granted to Mr. Crisp to print, and Mr. Johnston again came forward with his request, but Mr. O'Ferrall (Va.) objected. The McAll!ifl'e-Myer Fight Comes Off lr The announcement by Mrs. Anna Wittenmyer that the W. R C. have perfected arrangements for the erection of a home for soldiers' widows and orphans, and indigent soldiers and their wives, was greatly applauded. The building is estimated to cost $800,000.

North Jcdson, Ind., Feb. 14.—The Myer- McAuliffe fight carna off after all. Aftei convincing the sheriff that the "controversy" was closed, he went away, and he had ijc sooner gone that arrangements weri perfected, and thC fight took placo iu the forenoon. Tht sheriff returnee and stopped it ii the twelfth round, but he was "fixed,' and the battle went on until sixty-foui tedious rounds hat been gone througl with. The battle. In an hour after the shooting occurred groups of men and women were to be seen on the street corners discussing the occurrence, and many an imprecation against the faithless sweetheart was heard. Who he was the report did not state. Before the shooting none had heard of the fair victim's intended marriage, and the story was a great surprise. Miss Englebert was 22 years old, and up to three weeks ago was a governors in the family of a wealthy resident of Elizabethport. Why she gave up her position was not known until last night, when It was found that it was bojause of her intended wedding, which was to have taken place on Feb. 8. It would appear from this that ex-Senator Piatt is not going to be recognized. His friends 'rnve lost much of their confidence in the last ;wo or three days. Th6y practically admit that Mr. Piatt has very little chance of going into the cabinet, Some of them intimate that Mr. Piatt does not really cafe much about a place in the cabinet since he has received certain hints as to Gen. Harrison's policy. ' They think it would be practically impossible for Mr. Piatt to remain long in the cabinet in any event. There was a public installation of W. R C. officers at 8 o'clock last evening in G. A. R hall i kenton, Feb. 14.—The New Jersey department of the Grand Army of the Republic closed its annual encampment by the election of the following offlcere: Department com mander, W. B. E.

NEW JERSEY LEGISLATURE. The House Helps Fuller Out—Important Hills Passed Upon.

The members cami in, however, without beng arrested. Oranges direct from Florida. Bananas from Central America. Dried, evaporated and preserved fruits of Best quality. The speaker laid before the house three messages from the president, announcing his disapproval of private pension bills. Referred to the committee on invalid pensions. Mr. Dates (Ala.), from the committee on judiciary, reported a bill to amend the naturalization laws. Indianapolis, Feb. 14.—Cabinet gossip here has been failing badly for the last two or three days. A season of dullness and reaction seems to have set in. Little information that is at once authentic and suggestive has leaked out since Sunday, and there is a settled conviction amoug the political speculators that (Jen. Harrison has practically suspended work on his cabinet. It is conjectured that the New York problem is still thi real obstacle in the president-elect's way, am. no solution of that problem is looked for until about the time that General Harrison start east. The whole of the long session of the morning was taken up with a debate on the bill tc remove Superintendent Fuller from office. Speeches were made by half of the members. The bill was passed by a straight party vote: 32 to 20. Ferris anj Ross Ham, Bacon and Beef. At 1 o'clock the joint session to count the •lectoral vote was begun. It lasted until 3:30. At' 13:55 the legislative proceedings wore suspended, and a few momeuts afterwards ("■t «enate was announced, and the senators, ■headed by officers, filed into the chamber, jjenatwr Ingalls loaned on the arm of Secretary MeCock, and t'apt. Bassett carried the txix containing the returns from the electoral ■colleges.

It was long anC tedious, but neither fighter drew enougi blood to soil an evening necktie. After fight ing sixty-four rounds, which consumed near); four hours and a half, Referee McDonald dt clared the battle a draw. There was nothinj else for him to do. Myer, who is usually i whirlwind fighter, took the defensive fron the start, and in all of the sixty-four round made but four leads. He seemed afraid o McAuliffe. It looked as though he was no. counting on anything much better than i draw. NEW RACING ASSOCIATION Butter of all grades, up to choioe creamery. It# Object la to Protect Half Mile Track* Boston, Feb. 14.—The twenty-second annual encampment of the Massachusetts department, G. A. R, resumed its sessions at 9 a. m. The consideration of the committee reports on Department Commander Walker's address was continued. The minority report, recommending the transfer of $l,64tt to tht employment bureau (to which the address said it belonged) instead of to the Veterans Rights' union, was adopted. At 10 a. m. the encampment proceeded to tho election of officers, and 559 votes were cast for department commander and 528 for senior vice commander, without resulting in a choice. At 11:30 a. m. Commander in Chief Warner, with his staff, arrived and was briefly welcomed by tho department commander. In re;Dly he made a stirring speech, complimenting the department on its excellent condition and charitable Work, and saying that he longed for the day when throughout the land tlieiv should not be a single soldier iu a poor house, or a widow or an orphan needing bread. Lancaster, Pa., Feb. 14.—The representatives of the fair associations in this state, New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware met here and organized the National Half Mile Track and Agricultural association, for the purpose of protecting the half mile tracks, ot which there are 1,000 in the United States, from "ringers" and other frauds. from Frauds.

The act providing for the incorporation of game and game fish associations, and whicl practically deprives the West Jersey Gami society of many of its exclusive privilegus. was reported on adversely. Harris, of Camden, fought the report, and was influentia enough to have it set aside, allowing the bil to go upon the calendar.
