Mrs. Meyer's dementia took the form of persecution of her neighbors, through a delusion that in this way she was conserving the welfare of her religious faith.

They live comfortably and have several thousand dollars at interest In the morning about 1 o'clock Mr. Haas was startled by a crash at the front door, and the next moment his bed chamber, on the first floor, was invaded by four masked burglars, who held revolvers to the heads of himself and wife and demanded all the money in the house.

Washington, Feb. 10.—The house passed the resolutions instructing the conferrees on the territorial bill and the senate bill, enabling the president to protect United States interest* in Panama. IjONDON, Feb. 16.—Mr. Parnell was present at the session of the Parnell commission. Mr. Soames, solicitor for The Times, in his cross examination, offered in evidence a schedule of all the signatures of Mr. Parnell that he possessed. Ho said that Mr. Parnell's writing vt!fiod considerably, and produced a letter in which Mr. Parnell's name was written in six different ways. New York, Feb. 16.—Ex-United States Senate!1 William Windom, formerly of Minnesota, but now of Wall street, left the Buckingham hotel yesterday and went west by the Pennsylvania road. He has been summoned to confer with Gen. Harrison at Indianapolis. He informed his friends that he would be back in New York on Monday noxt, and if he does not then have the treasury portfolio under his arm its absence will those friends, and will only bo accounted for by some extraordinary occurrence in Indianapolis.&AKIM* POWDER The annoyances became so great that the neighbors finally joined in the petition that she should be removed to some public institution for treatment. Whereas, We are profoundly impreffeed with the importance of prompt action ou some of the measures now before congress; having for their object the adjustment of differences between nations, by the humaue meausof arbitration; therefore be it Mr. Mills reported back the Mills tariff bill, with senate amendment, and by direction of the speaker it was referred to the committee y the whole. Three weeks ago a patrol wagon drove up to Mr. Meyers' door, containing Police Surgeon Andrews and his assistant Resolved, By the senate and house of repre- Pennsylvania, that oar senators l» instructed aud our representatives in congress be urgently requested to use all proper means to secure the passage of a law that shall authorize the president of the United States to take the necessary steps for concluding with the government of Great Britain a treaty which shall stipulate that any differences or disputes arising between the two governments, which cannot be adjusted by diplomatic agency, shall l)e referred to a court of arbitration, which shall provide for the settlement of all international difficulties which may aiise without resorting to the cruel methods of war and bloodshed. Mrs. Haas, in her fright, jumped out of bed, when she was seized, kicked, choked and beaten. The robbers tore up the sheets, bound the aged couple and gagged them. Leaving one man in charge and another having the hired man in custody, two proceeded to ransack the dwelling. They ripped up feather beds, scattered the contents upon the floor, tore up the carpets and fireplaces, upset furniture, and even removed pictures from the walls in their fruitless search for hidden wealth. In a bui-eau they found $CD, and in an old chest a silver watch and double barreled shotgun. These articles with some linen constituted all the plunder obtained. A fund haa been raised as a reward for the arrenl of the thieves. The woman divined the object of the visit and managed to elude the officer by getting out on a skylight and secreting herself until the wagon bad driven away a^ain. Presiding Justice Hannen ordered that the letter bo photographed. Continuing, the witnoss denied that he had heard that Pigott and the league clerk h3 interviewed in Ireland had a grievance against Parnell. Pigott, be said, had made a statutory declaration that Solicitor Lewis had offered him-ill ,000 if he would swear that ho had forged the letters said to have been written by Mr. Parnell. The Times paid Pigott only £40 or £50. The witness had Pigott watched, and traced him into the company of Mr. Labouchere. He paid Houston, secretary of the Irish Loyal and Patriotic union, altogether £11,000. Mr. Mills als» reported the following resolution, the consideration of which, he said, he would ask the house to enter upon on Tues- Mrs. 3 /jrer slipped out afterwards, and repairin , to a residence at Ninth and Spruce strey* told the occupants a pitiful story, and wvjS housed over night. Having been given a sumptuous breakfast the next morning she disappeared. She has not been seen since. It was discovered that the house had been vacated and that Mr. Meyer had disappeared as mysteriously as his wife. Absolutely Pure. day next Indianapolis, Feb. 16.—Windom stock has taken a sudden rise, and many of the speculative politicians have come to the conclusion that the two chief secretaries of the Garfield administration will have a chance to serve out their interrupted terms under Gen. Harrison. The reason for this sudden confidence, after so many doubts and uncertainties about the disposal of the treasury, was the receipt of two or three telegrams from New York announcing that the ex-senator from Minnesota had started on a journey to Indianapolis on an invitation from the president-elect. This statement, though unconfirmed here, gave weight to the talk that Mr. Windom would surely be made the next secretary of the treasury, and some bets were made in the hotel corridors that the treasury question was at last definitely decided in his lavor. Still there were other political experts who were sure that the treasury would go to another western man. Resolved, That the substitution by the senate, under the form of an amendment for the bill of the house, No. W,051, (the Mills bill) of another aud different bill, containing a general revision of tile laiys imposing import duties and internal taxes, is io conflict, with the true intent and purpose of section 7, article I, of the constitution, and that said bill he returned to the senate with the respectful suggestion that that section vests in the house of representatives the sole power to originate such a measure.

Upon redirect examination, Mr. said that no bargain was made when the letters were first brought to The Times. Their genuineness was to be tested before any payment was made. Mr. Soamea said Pigott told him of interviews ho had had with Solicitor Lewis and Mr. Labouchere. The latter sent Pigott several ten pound notes. One of these notes was forwarded to Ireland and there redirected to London. yVitness produced a copy of the letter which accompanied it. It had never occurred to witness to ask Pigott how he had acquired the letter**. Neither had he asked Houston. Pigott showed witness a letter from Solicitor Lewis accusing him (Pigott) of having admitted that he forged the letters, and his reply, whereupon witness required that the statutory declaration lw made, in which Pigott detailed all the communications between himself and Solicitor Lewis, including the olfer of £ 1,000 by Mr. Lewis, on behalf of Mr. Labouchere, if ho would swear that he had forged the letters. Neck and Neck in Went Virginia. Charleston, W. Va., Feb. 16.—There was great excitement in the joint assembly yesterday in taking a vote for senator, when President Carr, of the senate, announced upon the floor of the house that lie would from now on cast his vote for Gen. GofT for United States senator. Mr. Kirk, who has cast his votes heretofore for some Union Laborite, also declared himself for Golf from now on. Mr. Horr, the other Union Laborite, cast his vote fQr Senator Kenna, and will re;nain with him hereafter. Dorr still refuses to vote for Kenna. The ballot: GofT, 42; Kenna, 42; W. T. Ice, 1.

Notice* Pouted in the llirdttborp and Potta- Mr. McCreary (Ky.) reported back the senate bill appropriating #350,000 to enable the president to protect the interests of the United States in Panama. Brief speeches followed. Reading, Pa., Feb. 10.—-At Birdsboro the Brooke Iron company posted notices in their nail works that, owing to the low prices of nails, they would be obliged to ask their employees to accept a reduction, beginning March 1. The amount was not stated. The firm has already reduced the wages of its puddlers from $3.25 to $3 per ton. vllle Works. Mr. Bean introduced two bills, one to increase the salary of the superintendent of public education to $5,000, and the other to provide for the establishment of manual training schools by the state for the teaching of the elementary branches of wood work, metal work, domestic economy and industrial art.

The yeas and nays were ordered, but pending the roll call the hour of 12:45 arrived, and the matter was laid a* tie temporarily to enable the house, under the special order, to consider the resolution introducing the house conferrees on the territorial bill as to the methods they should pursue in arriving at an agreement. The pending motion was that to table the motion to reconsider the vote by which the house agreed to that portion of the resolution directing the conferrees to so amend the bill as to provide for the admission of South Dakota under the Sioux Falls constitution by proclamation of the president, without a new vote being taken on the question of division. The house made a special order for the bill providing for the special election at which the proposed prohibitory amendment is to be Submitted to a vote of the people, providing for sjjecial reading on Tuesday, Feb. 20, ami Wednesday, Feb. 27. A meeting of employes in some of the departments of the Reading Iron works was called for this afternoon, to take action on a proposed reduction of the wages of puddlers from $3.50 to $3.25 per ton, laborers to £1 per day, and other employes 7 jxt cent. The works employ over 1,200 hands. The most important callers from a distance were Andrew Wheeler, of Philadelphia; George A. Kelly, of Pittsburg, and ex-CongD essman H. D. Money, of Mississippi. They came as a committee from the American Shipping and Industrial league, which held its third annual convention recently in Washington. They brought a set of engrossed resolutions passed by the convention for presentation to Gen. Harrison. The National Shipping league is a non-jiartisan organization, formed to promote the development of the mercliaut marine of the United States and to increase the efficiency of the navy, and the resolutions of the convention sum up at length the causes that have driven the American flag from the seas, and urge the president-elecf to recommend to congress such measures as will tend to revive American shipping. The tonnage and naval resei ve bills now before congress are heartily indorsed, and the giving of subsidies to American steamers to carry American mails to all parts of the world is suggested.

Forty-one clubs were represented. No important changes were made in the amateur rules. The ladies' single and double championships were awarded to Philadelphia. The time of the championship doubles was changed to some time prior to the binglo championships, the time to be selected by the executive committee.

Slocum, .Jr., of Brooklyn, vice president; William G. Hall, of New York, secretary and Howard A. Taylor, of New York, treas- penitentiary. After some discussion tlu resolution was referred to the committee on appropriations. This statement eaustd a sensation iu the court room. Continuing, Mr. Soames said that Pigott did not te.l him of the correspondence he had had with Archbishop Walsh, ot Dublin, regarding the letters. He had never heard of this correspondence until he heard it mentioned in court. Beside Mr. lngalls, Mr. Snames said, The Times engaged Messrs, Birch and Ellis as experts. He had never promised Pigott sixpence, but knew that Pigott had asKed Houston for £;D,U00 on the ground that it would be impo.-sibie for him to live in Duoiin alter giving evidence for The Times, and that he wanted to make some provision fur himself.

Besides the claim for loss, there is a claim for alleged injury to the reputation of Siemers & Co., wh« wei-e accused by European houses of palniinj. off an ulterior pnxiuct. The charge is als made that Stursburg & Co. are aiding the Standard Oil company in marketing Ohio Instead of Pennsylvania oil. The suit is the outgrowth of a long standing dispute, which has involved the New York and Hamburg produce exchanges in the disagreement. Much interest is taken in the case by the oil trnde generally.

Who Owns the Madrid? NEWS OF OUFi NEIGHBORS. Coffee, after the drinking of which one foraets all their woes. New York, Feb. 10.—Consul Julia, of San Domingo, applied to the deputy collector of port for clearance pajDers for the steamer Madrid, which is supposed to have lieen purchased for Hippolyte. Ho presented twi certificates, one showing that he represented the owner of the vessel and the other certifying that she was owned by the Dominican government. Minister Preston, of Hayti, appeared in the collector's office at this timt and bogged the deputy collector not to cleai the vessel. He said the vessel was intended for Hippolyte, and it would be a violation ol law to allow her to clear. The deputy collector declined to clear the Madrid until he had lot.ked into the matter, and asked both gentlemen to call again. Collector Magone will probably give his decision at that time. Happenings of Interest In Several States The house committee on ways and means will report a tariff bill, proofed by Mr. Mc- Millan, embracing the principal features of the Mills bill and reducing the revenue about $70,000,000. The Randall bill reduces the revenue about $83,000,000. The Cowles bill, for which the Randall bill is a substitute, reduces the revenue about $2*2,000,000. Both the Randall bill and the McMillan bill will be reported to the house, and a lively fight is expected over the Randall bill, the members of the ways and means committee declaring that it shall not go on the calendar if they ran prevent it. Conference reporte, which are privileged, will be offered to prevent the house voting on it. It is understood that the Republicans will support the Randall bill solidly and that seventy Democrats have pledged themselves to support it, and secure for it consideration. John Shulmer, a rag sorter in Lflng's paper mill at Philadelphia, discovered among the rags a bottle containing white pills, which he supposed to be candy. He ate a number, and gave some to a companion, who chewed up three of the pills, and (earing they were poison spit them out, and told Shulmer to do the same. Bhulmer had already swallowed some, and he immediately fell to the floor, and in a few minutes he was dead. Briefly Chronicled.

New York, Feb. 16.—Daniel J, Moore, assi tant appraiser of the sugar and damage allowance bureaus in the appraiser's stores, was removed by President Cleveland. The president's letter was identical with the letter sent to Sturgis, formerly of the tobacco bureau. "You are hereby removed," was all that was said.

Both men were in good condition and the fight opened savagely. At the opening of the third round Tobin knocked Watson down, claiming that he had bitten him. The crowd rushed on to the stage and a general melee was imminent. There was great excitement and a number of earnest blows were exchanged. The police interfered and cleared the hall after some difficulty. Tobin and Watson appear to be very "sore" on each other, and if they had been allowed would doubtless have made the match a fight to a Itow at a Sparring; Exhibition. At the conference between Col.

Mrs. Meyer's dementia took the form of persecution of her neighbors, through a delusion that in this way she was conserving the welfare of her religious faith. KkiDiko, Pa., Feb. 10.—Near Dower's Station in aged farmer, his wife and hired man were terribly maltreated by masked burglars. Johr. Haas is 73 yaars of age and his wife 77. They live comfortably and have several thousand dollars at interest In the morning about 1 o'clock Mr. Haas was startled by a crash at the front door, and the next moment his bed chamber, on the first floor, was invaded by four masked burglars, who held revolvers to the heads of himself and wife and demanded all the money in the house.

Washington, Feb. 10.—The house passed the resolutions instructing the conferrees on the territorial bill and the senate bill, enabling the president to protect United States interest* in Panama. IjONDON, Feb. 16.—Mr. Parnell was present at the session of the Parnell commission. Mr. Soames, solicitor for The Times, in his cross examination, offered in evidence a schedule of all the signatures of Mr. Parnell that he possessed. Ho said that Mr. Parnell's writing vt!fiod considerably, and produced a letter in which Mr. Parnell's name was written in six different ways. New York, Feb. 16.—Ex-United States Senate!1 William Windom, formerly of Minnesota, but now of Wall street, left the Buckingham hotel yesterday and went west by the Pennsylvania road. He has been summoned to confer with Gen. Harrison at Indianapolis. He informed his friends that he would be back in New York on Monday noxt, and if he does not then have the treasury portfolio under his arm its absence will those friends, and will only bo accounted for by some extraordinary occurrence in Indianapolis.&AKIM* POWDER The annoyances became so great that the neighbors finally joined in the petition that she should be removed to some public institution for treatment. Whereas, We are profoundly impreffeed with the importance of prompt action ou some of the measures now before congress; having for their object the adjustment of differences between nations, by the humaue meausof arbitration; therefore be it Mr. Mills reported back the Mills tariff bill, with senate amendment, and by direction of the speaker it was referred to the committee y the whole. Three weeks ago a patrol wagon drove up to Mr. Meyers' door, containing Police Surgeon Andrews and his assistant Resolved, By the senate and house of repre- Pennsylvania, that oar senators l» instructed aud our representatives in congress be urgently requested to use all proper means to secure the passage of a law that shall authorize the president of the United States to take the necessary steps for concluding with the government of Great Britain a treaty which shall stipulate that any differences or disputes arising between the two governments, which cannot be adjusted by diplomatic agency, shall l)e referred to a court of arbitration, which shall provide for the settlement of all international difficulties which may aiise without resorting to the cruel methods of war and bloodshed. Mrs. Haas, in her fright, jumped out of bed, when she was seized, kicked, choked and beaten. The robbers tore up the sheets, bound the aged couple and gagged them. Leaving one man in charge and another having the hired man in custody, two proceeded to ransack the dwelling. They ripped up feather beds, scattered the contents upon the floor, tore up the carpets and fireplaces, upset furniture, and even removed pictures from the walls in their fruitless search for hidden wealth. In a bui-eau they found $CD, and in an old chest a silver watch and double barreled shotgun. These articles with some linen constituted all the plunder obtained. A fund haa been raised as a reward for the arrenl of the thieves. The woman divined the object of the visit and managed to elude the officer by getting out on a skylight and secreting herself until the wagon bad driven away a^ain. Presiding Justice Hannen ordered that the letter bo photographed. Continuing, the witnoss denied that he had heard that Pigott and the league clerk h3 interviewed in Ireland had a grievance against Parnell. Pigott, be said, had made a statutory declaration that Solicitor Lewis had offered him-ill ,000 if he would swear that ho had forged the letters said to have been written by Mr. Parnell. The Times paid Pigott only £40 or £50. The witness had Pigott watched, and traced him into the company of Mr. Labouchere. He paid Houston, secretary of the Irish Loyal and Patriotic union, altogether £11,000. Mr. Mills als» reported the following resolution, the consideration of which, he said, he would ask the house to enter upon on Tues- Mrs. 3 /jrer slipped out afterwards, and repairin , to a residence at Ninth and Spruce strey* told the occupants a pitiful story, and wvjS housed over night. Having been given a sumptuous breakfast the next morning she disappeared. She has not been seen since. It was discovered that the house had been vacated and that Mr. Meyer had disappeared as mysteriously as his wife. Absolutely Pure. day next Indianapolis, Feb. 16.—Windom stock has taken a sudden rise, and many of the speculative politicians have come to the conclusion that the two chief secretaries of the Garfield administration will have a chance to serve out their interrupted terms under Gen. Harrison. The reason for this sudden confidence, after so many doubts and uncertainties about the disposal of the treasury, was the receipt of two or three telegrams from New York announcing that the ex-senator from Minnesota had started on a journey to Indianapolis on an invitation from the president-elect. This statement, though unconfirmed here, gave weight to the talk that Mr. Windom would surely be made the next secretary of the treasury, and some bets were made in the hotel corridors that the treasury question was at last definitely decided in his lavor. Still there were other political experts who were sure that the treasury would go to another western man. Resolved, That the substitution by the senate, under the form of an amendment for the bill of the house, No. W,051, (the Mills bill) of another aud different bill, containing a general revision of tile laiys imposing import duties and internal taxes, is io conflict, with the true intent and purpose of section 7, article I, of the constitution, and that said bill he returned to the senate with the respectful suggestion that that section vests in the house of representatives the sole power to originate such a measure.

Upon redirect examination, Mr. said that no bargain was made when the letters were first brought to The Times. Their genuineness was to be tested before any payment was made. Mr. Soamea said Pigott told him of interviews ho had had with Solicitor Lewis and Mr. Labouchere. The latter sent Pigott several ten pound notes. One of these notes was forwarded to Ireland and there redirected to London. yVitness produced a copy of the letter which accompanied it. It had never occurred to witness to ask Pigott how he had acquired the letter**. Neither had he asked Houston. Pigott showed witness a letter from Solicitor Lewis accusing him (Pigott) of having admitted that he forged the letters, and his reply, whereupon witness required that the statutory declaration lw made, in which Pigott detailed all the communications between himself and Solicitor Lewis, including the olfer of £ 1,000 by Mr. Lewis, on behalf of Mr. Labouchere, if ho would swear that he had forged the letters. Neck and Neck in Went Virginia. Charleston, W. Va., Feb. 16.—There was great excitement in the joint assembly yesterday in taking a vote for senator, when President Carr, of the senate, announced upon the floor of the house that lie would from now on cast his vote for Gen.

Brief speeches followed. Reading, Pa., Feb. 10.—-At Birdsboro the Brooke Iron company posted notices in their nail works that, owing to the low prices of nails, they would be obliged to ask their employees to accept a reduction, beginning March 1.

The yeas and nays were ordered, but pending the roll call the hour of 12:45 arrived, and the matter was laid a* tie temporarily to enable the house, under the special order, to consider the resolution introducing the house conferrees on the territorial bill as to the methods they should pursue in arriving at an agreement. The pending motion was that to table the motion to reconsider the vote by which the house agreed to that portion of the resolution directing the conferrees to so amend the bill as to provide for the admission of South Dakota under the Sioux Falls constitution by proclamation of the president, without a new vote being taken on the question of division. The house made a special order for the bill providing for the special election at which the proposed prohibitory amendment is to be Submitted to a vote of the people, providing for sjjecial reading on Tuesday, Feb. 20, ami Wednesday, Feb. 27. A meeting of employes in some of the departments of the Reading Iron works was called for this afternoon, to take action on a proposed reduction of the wages of puddlers from $3.50 to $3.25 per ton, laborers to £1 per day, and other employes 7 jxt cent. The works employ over 1,200 hands. The most important callers from a distance were Andrew Wheeler, of Philadelphia; George A. Kelly, of Pittsburg, and ex-CongD essman H. D. Money, of Mississippi. They came as a committee from the American Shipping and Industrial league, which held its third annual convention recently in Washington. They brought a set of engrossed resolutions passed by the convention for presentation to Gen. Harrison. The National Shipping league is a non-jiartisan organization, formed to promote the development of the mercliaut marine of the United States and to increase the efficiency of the navy, and the resolutions of the convention sum up at length the causes that have driven the American flag from the seas, and urge the president-elecf to recommend to congress such measures as will tend to revive American shipping. The tonnage and naval resei ve bills now before congress are heartily indorsed, and the giving of subsidies to American steamers to carry American mails to all parts of the world is suggested.

Continuing, Mr. Soames said that Pigott did not te.l him of the correspondence he had had with Archbishop Walsh, ot Dublin, regarding the letters. He had never heard of this correspondence until he heard it mentioned in court. Beside Mr. lngalls, Mr. Snames said, The Times engaged Messrs, Birch and Ellis as experts. He had never promised Pigott sixpence, but knew that Pigott had asKed Houston for £;D,U00 on the ground that it would be impo.-sibie for him to live in Duoiin alter giving evidence for The Times, and that he wanted to make some provision fur himself.

Besides the claim for loss, there is a claim for alleged injury to the reputation of Siemers & Co., wh« wei-e accused by European houses of palniinj. off an ulterior pnxiuct. The charge is als made that Stursburg & Co. are aiding the Standard Oil company in marketing Ohio Instead of Pennsylvania oil. The suit is the outgrowth of a long standing dispute, which has involved the New York and Hamburg produce exchanges in the disagreement. Much interest is taken in the case by the oil trnde generally.

Who Owns the Madrid? NEWS OF OUFi NEIGHBORS. Coffee, after the drinking of which one foraets all their woes. New York, Feb. 10.—Consul Julia, of San Domingo, applied to the deputy collector of port for clearance pajDers for the steamer Madrid, which is supposed to have lieen purchased for Hippolyte. Ho presented twi certificates, one showing that he represented the owner of the vessel and the other certifying that she was owned by the Dominican government. Minister Preston, of Hayti, appeared in the collector's office at this timt and bogged the deputy collector not to cleai the vessel.

The deputy collector declined to clear the Madrid until he had lot.ked into the matter, and asked both gentlemen to call again. Collector Magone will probably give his decision at that time.
