Tli Ceurt Tk-n Rreeaa to Await the ronltive'a R'tarn. at ih End of Whteft. Time Hi Papers Are to be fteised. Londojc, Mrch 26. After the pen inn of court this morning Parnell Com missioner Russell arose tad said that Saturday Pigott went to tbe residence of Laboucbera and, ia tbe presence of George August 9 aid, signed a confession that the letters published by the Timet were forgeries. He also admitted com mitting perjury before th commission. Pigott bis disappeared. The court took a recess of half an hour, at the expira tlon of which time, if Pigott does not -appear, bis papers will he izpd. Bisator Harris, of Tennessee, is at tbe bead of a coalition of democratic senators who have started in on tbe Im possible task of trying to shame tbe re publican senators ioto confirming some of the nominations now pending before .the senate. Mr. Harris has announced bis purpose of making amotion every day to go into executive session in order to consider these nomination. The tacts io the case are without precedent and should bring a blush to tbe cheek of every fair-minded republican. After tbe pres idential election of 1830, Hayes sent to tbe senate 630 nominations, nearly all of which were confirmed. After Mr. Cleve land was elected, Arthur sent to the sen ate 612 nominations and all of them were conflrmel except twenty. Now Mr. Cleveland has sent to the senate since tbe election of Harrison 433 nominations, of which 183, relating to army and navy promotions that may be considered non political, have been confirmed. Of tbe (25 other nominations, the most of which were made to fill official vacancies, only forty-eight have been confirmed, leaving the enormous number of 227 unacted up on. Such partisanship has neyer before been displayed by the senate, but even the mosfconservative republicans seem to glory now In what they are doing. Thk president, says a Washington cor respondent, is realizing, evidently, that tbe 4th of March is near at band, and that it will be necessary for him, in or der to leave bis desk clear for Mr. Har rison, to spend every possible minute on the mass aof business accumulated by reason of the approaching end of con gross. Tbe bills are coming in upon bim rapidly and be bad, undoubtedly, considerable business of a private na ture to wind up- In consequence be has made an official request that be be let alone during this week, as it will be ab solutely necessary for bim to have these six days for uninterrupted work. In other words he will not be at home. There is an air of extreme quiet at the White House iiowadays which was broken only by tbe round of receptions, the last of which occurred Thursday to the public. Promised rrotrrtlon. The cry of protection in the late cam paign was loudest in Pennsylvania. There it was thought if Harrison was elected the miner and wage worker would be kept constantly employed, and that wages would be higher. Alasl this was a mistake, and thousands of wage work ers are out of employment, suffering for the necessaries of life. It was under these circumstances the following con versation took place: Workman's wife "There isn't a thing in the bouse to eat." Workman "I know it; but what can I doT Tbe factory is closed for want of orders and I can't find outside work any where." Wife "Well, go to tba closet and bring me that 'Protection to American Labor' banner you carried during tbi campaign; I'll cut it up and boil it; may be ltll do for soup.- Cabctrt-makino has made the life of tbe president-elect a succession of woes and worrimenu during tbe last three months. But his real troubles will only bave begun when tbe army of petty office-seekers shall lay siege to the white bouse on and after the Ides of March.

He had never left his home here that he had not later gladly returned to it, and hoped to just as gladly again return. The memory of the confidence of his fellow-townsmen would strengthen him in the discharge of his duties. The debt be owed tbem was so large that be nevor could repay it. The sense of ereat responsibility in the discharge of bigh duties was accompanied by a douse of loneliness, but he put his trust in One whose help "comes even into the quiet chamber of Judgment, and to His wisdom and unfailing guidance I will look for direction and safety."

Tbe ladies were well represented in the crowd, and were just as anxious to see Gen. Har rison as the men. During tbe rush for the train several ladies fainted and were well nigh suffocated. The train was uncoupled so as to allow as many as possible tc gather about the private car, and so great was the enthusiasm that the rear railing was wrenched from from Its support.

The Liberal leader and the Conservative Secretary In Debate. -. Lojtdox, Feb. 28. The debate in the com THE rROCKTBCAyp ARfTTTB mons on tbe add reus in ropiy to the speech from tbe throne yesterday was a specimen of what may be expected probably for a week, and was exceedir gly lively, although on tbe Tory side but ont man took part (except in ap plause from tbe Vory benche;), while on the Home Rule sid the noise and . cries of "Pigott," which ireeted Balfour, was deafen ing at times. Morley opened by moving tbe Home Rule amendment to tbo address, and then proceeded to attack the government He severely con demned the conduct exhibited by the admin istration in Ire and during the last few months. He esp -daily referred to the "un called-for" arrest of Irish members. "The time is fast uoming," said he, when an irresistible appeal will ascend from tbe nation aski lg her majesty the queen to recur to the sense of The people so that the f may decide upon tbe great issues which are now dividing the govern ment'' He asked why, if the condition of Ireland was better, proceedings against Irish members of the house of commo'iis were more frequent. He condemned the "lack of prudence, foresight and care" that had been shown by the administration in Ireland dur ing tbe last fe months. The arrest of Father McFaddei at Gweedore, he said, Was marked by every bad quality that could accompany a judicial act It was worthy of the exploits of th rullian judge in Scotland, who a century ag j said: "Give me a prisoner and I'll find the laws." Referring to th 3 imprisoned memliers of parliament he urj.ed that while tboir offences were limited to speaking and writing treason, they should be treated as first-claHs mis demeanants. Cbiers. Tbe opposition re quired the fullest explanation regarding the employment of r.sh magistrates, crown solicitors, and pobce in framing The Times case. They demanded to know why documents were handed to Tbe Times for the purpose of a plot to which it might be proved tbe gov ernment had beo me the dupes and acces sories. Cheers. Balfour replied to Morley. As he rose cries of "Pigott" greeted him, and tbe speak er was obliged to insist upon order being maintained. The secretary's speech was a strong defense of the government's course and a denial of hit umaii treatment of prison ers in Ireland. I.e declared that wherever the plan of camptjgn had operated, the con dition of Ireland, under the government measures to maintain order, hud greatly im proved. At every refere ice to conspiracy Balfour was interrupt! with renewed cries of "Pig ott, Pigott" He twitted Morley with alluding to tbe Parnell commission and ignoring the most horrible charges of cruelty, inhumanity, and cynical savageness with which his Balfour's waste-basket bad been flooded during tbe reoesa Possibly it bad begun to dawn upon the minds of the opposition that they had been duped by imaginary r torts concern ing the treatment of O'Brien. Cries of "Oh, oh." He admitted that the prison rules bad been relaxed in tbo citses of priests, but tbe bouse knew that h; bad al ways lieen doubt ful whether, in rt laxing the rules, be was uot straining the crimes act. The rule ro garding the cutting of a prisoner's hair was never relaxed except in cases of disease. "What disease prevented my hair being cut!" inquired Dillon, amid much laugher. "You were in tht hospital during your im prisonment," responded Balfour. There were at the present niomenfcO.OOO persons in the ore inary prisons of the king dom, while only 100 were imprisoned in Ireland under the (Times act. If the object of punishment m to preveut crime, never bud so great a res alt been attained at the cost of so little sufi ering. It O'Comiell were still alive be would shrink from the means employed by the ( entlumen below the gang way to render goviirnmunt impossible. ALEXANDER'S MESALLIANCE.

Wilkksbarrk, Fa., Feb. 26. Eleven girls varying in age from 13 to Sf3 years, lost their bves in Powell's Squib factory at riymouth yesterday afternoon. Powder squibs are manufactured at this place for the use of miners. The squib is a sort of fuse, which is inserted in the drilled hole in tbe voaL Girls are employed to make these squibs, be cause their labor is cheaper, and tbey can do tbe work more satisfactorily than men. Powell's squibs are used in probably every mine in the United States and Canada, and soma are exported to tbe English collieriei When trade is good tbe factory employs abouteigbty girls. Lately, however, trade has been somewhat slack, and last week part of the machinery broke down, and the super intendent was compelled to lay off forty of the girls. Yesterday morning all bamU reported for work, but the machinery was not yet in or der, and all were sent home wit h the excep tion of about seventeen, who remained to do some odd joh When tbe 12 o'clock whistle blew, six of the girls who lived near by went to their homes for their midday meal; the re maindereleven all told ate their dinner at the factory. After all had dined the girls adjourned to an ante-room containing a stove. Here they all sat and chatted on va rious topics. Maggie Lynch ssid she bad an uivitation to a social last evening. Charles Beatley had asked het to accompany bim, and she said she guessed she would go. All the other girls urged bcr to do so, sa ing she would have a good tim. What paksed be tween the girls after this is not known. There the story stops short, Alice Reuse, who carried dinner for two of the workers left for her home after Miss Lynch bad told of her intention to go to tbe social. A few minutes before 1 o'clock, almost starting-up time, John Tbomas, who residue near the factory, w-aa sitting at a table eating his dinner, when a violent explosion shook the dishes from the tabK At first be thought it was an explosion in the mines, but looking out of the window he sow the roof of the fac tory shooting up in the air, and when it fell back again tbe sides of the building were fall ing in. Then fire enveloped the debris, and in ten minutes' time the struct ure was reduced to ashes. The speed of tbe flames was so rapid that it was impossible for any one to enter the wrecked building. Tbe miners from the Gaylord sloie rushed to the burning building and heroically attempted to pull away the burning timbbi-9 so that they might enter and possibly save the lives of some of tbe impris oned girls, but the flames bad gained too much headway, and the ron were alnolutely powerless. When the firemen arrived tliey found that their hose was not long enough to reach tbe fire from the nearest water supply, so that they were also unable to render ma terial assistance. When the fire finally died out for want of material to fenl upon, the bodies of the un fortunate girls were dug from the debris. Their heads, arms and legs were gone; nothing remained but their chaired bodies which mere entirely unrecognizable,. Miss Maggie L neb's body being recognized only by iis large site. Thousands of persons had gathered about the wrecked building, and the piteous cries of tbe relatives of the dead girls was heartrending. All of the bones that could be found were placed in blankets and taken to Undertaker Williams' estab lishment, where tbe relatives gathered and vainly endeavored to recognize the charred remains. The following is a complete list of those who lost their lives: Katie Joiiee, aged 'JO; Maggk Lynch, 21; Hat tie Jones, 16; Gladys Reese, u: Mary Walters, 17; Maggie Rich ards, 17; Mary Ann Lake, 17; Ruth Powell, 20; Esther Powell la sister of Ruth), Zt; Charlotte Humphreys, 17; Jane Ann Hu mas, 17. The only person in tbe building at the time of the explosion who remains to tell the story is Foreman Reese, and be is fatally burned. He says he was standing by a stove when the first explosion was beard. He rushed to tbe door to notify the girls, when several ex plosions occurred, and be next found himself in the cellar. He managed to crawl out into the opeu air, but is so terribly burned that he can live but a short time. Tbe cause of the explosion is not yet known. Mr. Powell says there was but a small quantity of powder in the building, a magazine near by being used as a storage house. One theory is that a box of squibs became ignited from spontaneous combustion and exploded. THE STATE LEGISLATURES. Another Little Scene tn the Irrepressible Indiana Legislature.

In Which a Wronged Wife Killed Her Husband The Wages of Wicked ness Fearfully Paid. Chicago, Feb. 25. Christinas morning, 1887, Mrs. Ida Macauley shot and killed her husband, William Macauley, and Sunday night last the sequel to that tragedy was en acted, tbe victims this time being the widow and two children, and the case one of suicide. Mrs. Macauley was arrested, tried and ac quitted of the charge of murder after she had shot her husband, the ground of acquittal be ing insanity. She then took board with the family of Oaorge Furness, at 230 Irving place, a few doors from where her sister, Mrs. Chas. B. Wright lived.

He came, aud twiner unable to secure recognition from those inside, he burst open the door and went in. The room was filled with escaping gas, and at a first glance the room and bed appeared empty. A second look, however, showed the outlines of three forms beneath the coverlet, on the end of which appeared the rubber hose of a drop-light, the other end connected with the gas burner, the cook being tinned on. A suspicion of the truth forcing itself upon bim, Mr. Furnetw pulled lck rffi coverlet and discovered Mrs. Macauley lmneath, clas ing tightly in her arms the forms of her little boy Willie, 3),' years old, aud her baby daugh ter Ida, 1 years old.

Mackin, the betrayed husband, was informed of what was going ou, and swore out a w arrant charg ing Macauley and Mrs. Mackin with improper conduct.
