TUB STATEN ISLAND lilUDQE Of lb* B. Jt O.-BIIU to Permit lt? (Jonatructlon Before OongreM. Washington, Dec. 10.?'The bill for the construction of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad bridge across the Arthur Kill to connect with the Staten Island Itapid Transit railroad will be presented in the House at hn onrlinaf nruuihlA onnortnnikv. Kttnn-1 lor Warner ftiller preucnted the Senate bill yeaterday without comment and had: It referred to the Committee on Commerce. The title mentioned the object of the bill as "authorizing the construction if certain bridges across Btaten Island Sound, known aa Arthur Kill or Kill Von Kull, and to establish the same aa post roads." In the House billa will be iniroduced by Perry Belmont and Mr. Finday{ of Maryland. Mr. Belmont's bill, ffhich will probably bo the one acted ipon, authorises the construction and naintenanco of a railroad drawbridge, pith ppans of notleaa than 200 feet in the :lear on each aide, with the central pivot>ier of the draw across the Staten Island iound or Arthur Kill, at or near Eliza>eth. The spans are to be not less than hirty feet above low water mark, to bo tpened for the accommodation of navigaion. and at the expense of the owners of he bridge. It is to be lighted with signal ights of the character prescribed by tne Jght-house Board, and the plans for its onatruction to be subject to the approval if the Secretary of War. It is to be a post nad. Mr. Belmont intended to delay the pre* .nutation of the bill until after the great linner to be given by Erastua Wiman on Itaten Island, and by the adjournment of he House will be compelled to delay it in iny event. Mr. Vanderbilt'a death," howiver, and tlie cortaintv that the dinner vould not be hold, had determined him o present it to-day, if possible. It is not >robable from this fact that the death of he millionaire will make and difference vith the plana of th? two railroada, and he probability ia that theacheme will be >uanml aa fast aa the movemonta of Con;reaa will permit Senator Sewell, in speaking of the mater to day, said that there was nq change n the diaposition of the New Jersey deletion to nght the bill, but that he was unible to aay what might be the result in lie Senate, tie thought that even if it vera passed the Government had no right o interfere with tho property qf a State, ind that it would rest with the State auhoritiea aa to whether or not the bridge ?ould be built. He felt sure aa to the State's rights to the banks and a portion of he Kill, and had no doubt that they could be protected. Mr. MnAdnn in tho Houna will mnkfi lie oppoajtloij on the same grounds he Wtlined before,' and will make a strong irjfument in favor of the" gla&ta rights ? 0 its own territory. Aflito the viKoroui support of the bill here"is no question. Many Western and ionthern members will be in favor of it, ,nd mpn* yhq look at New Jersey's posiion as akiod op narjow oq^enratism will efU?P their aid ?o tip delegatiqij. Expeuao ot ttte B. i Q.

Last Friday week the entire family, consisting of lather, mother, three sons and three daughters, were suddenly seized with a terrible .illness. The symptoms of all were the same. A distressing diarrbiei was the first symptom. This was followed by a feeling of languor and debility; acute neuralgic pains followed wilti stillness 01 me joiuu, ami mo most i | of tho patients become delirious. The ] ' tongues of the victims became coated heav- j ily, and bo much were the symptoms like j typhoid fever, that Dr. McCullough, the j family physician, at first thought it to be ] that dreau disease. From the suddenness with which they had been stricken down the house was shunned by the neighbors, . who feared they were suffering from some terrible contagion. The family continued to grow worse and yesterday Frederick, aged 'JO died in < great agony. John, the second son is i now so low that he is not expected to live . through the night, and the rest are at the point of death. Before Frederick's death r the physician became convinced that the t disease was trichinosis. Hesecured a piece e of the meat and with the aid of the micro- . scope found it alive with tricbinie spirales. 1 The meat was purchased from a farmer, t and was taken from one of a drove of hogs a which he had raised on his own /arm. a Dr. McCullough says he expects another e of the family to die to?night, and has no $ hopes that any of them will recover. $ VAN0>1?UBILT?8 FUNKRAL , To Take Place to-doj?The Watchers By U>9 6 Dead. u New York, Dec. 10.?-The undertaker was early at Mr. Vanderbilt's house this morning to see that everything was in order, lie had been to New Dorp, Staten ?

J The examination of tne operators' books ? as developed some facts hitherto "un- 1 nown. In the first place, the claim that " le operators have scarcely been noting 5 ay profit, is jubptantjatfd by flgurea.

To compare the locking with this, an advance ol aome 1,000 tons ia noted aa the lncreaae i but o urn (big muif be taken the 27,000 tons si cs on the Ubio Central, which makes tho a et increase of the Hocking regiim, even a, 11 h? fapo of a great strike, only 27,000 8I >ns in round numbers.
