To ward the end of Meredith's speech a most exciting scene occurred, which al most eventuated In a personal collision between him and Funk, of Illinois. MeraUlth was still talking about fraud ulent pensions and salii: "If I can judge from the fact that a man see,m3 heal thy and strong and yet gets a pension by reason of disability, I say I believe that man lied when he swore he had been crippled In the army." "I want to say, If the gentleman Is hojiest," Interrupted Funk, "and stat ing what he believes to be true, If he does not make that case known to the proper authorities he Is not a good citi zen." '"' v "I want to say this,''- returned Mere dith, hotly, "If the gentleman UntTt'r takes to Insinuate I am dishonest; If tile ...gentleman undertakes to" (with out completing his sentence, Meredith left hlB place and hurried over to where Funk was standing.) "I did not say, so," .protested Funk, as Meredith advanced towards him in a threatening manner. "You had better not say so," re turned Meredith, still advancing up tlia aisle. A personal encounter was Immi nent, and. the members crowded ttbou the belligerents, amid the most intense excitement and . confusion. Finally Meredith clenched bis fist and shook it under the nose of his adversary.. Sly this time Funk, who had previously (Msplayed no feeling, shouted out some thing about standing by what, he fftld. Meredith agal.i assumed a threatening posture, but the members aroun'l took him by the shoulders os if to prevent a blow being struck. All this time Oulh walte, who was presiding, pounding vlg oroubly for order, but without effect and Speaker Crisp, who had been hur riedly sent for, mounted the rostrum and assumed the gavel. "The eesant-at-anns will cause the eentlemen to be seated," said the speaker. The assistant sergeant-at-arme rapidly clearel the allies and the mem bers resumed their seats. BANDITS' BULLETS.

Grant Moss' Fatal Work With the Revolver. - DOUBLE MURDER AND SUICIDE The Miscreant Cheats the Gallows ' by Shooting Himself-Mr. Cole man's Condition Critical. Eugene, Ore., March 2. Later par ticulars of last night's tragedy, In which two persons were killed and two wound ed, show that Grant, Moss, about 35 years of age, had '"bRen paying atten tion to Belle Coleman, daughter of D. H. Coleman. Sometime trgo"Moss had trouble with his aged father, abusing him shamefully. MIsb Coleman did not hesitate after this to vpress her dis like for Moss. Last evening Moss called at the Coleman residence and engaged In conversation with Mr. Coleman. Reference was made to the trouble be tween Moss and his father, and because Coleman did not seem 'Inclined to take hla view of the trouble Moss became en raged. He entered an adjoining room, where Miss Colemun and her sister, Mrs. C. D. Osburn, were sitting, and drawing a revolver commenced shoot ing. One shot struck Miss Coleman in the arm' below the elbow, breaking the bone. Another shot struck Mm Osburn near the heart, severing an artery, and from the effects of which she shortly expired. The father, who came to his daughters' rescue, received a bullet In the breast. Moss then ran liome, about a block distant, and sent a bullet Into his own brain, dying almost instantly. Miss Coleman's injury Is not danger ous, the shot being just below the el bow, Mr. Coleman is resting comfort ably, and the doctors think he will re cover In a short time. A letter found on Moss this morning says he shot Miss Coleman because she failed to keep hei promise to marry him, and her sister because she interfered with his plans. Later. The condition of David Colu man, one of the 'victims of last night's tragedy, Is more serious than .was sup posed. There are 'serious doubts 'of his recovery. , THE RAILROAD WORSTED.
