Forty-eighth Congress Opens with Speaker Carlisle
The first session of the Forty-eighth Congress began with the Senate sworn in by President pro tempore Edmundo and the House organizing under Speaker John G. Carlisle who was elected 191 to 112. A Mississippi contest and a Democratic caucus dominated early actions as Republicans prepared for Senate officer elections and a potential retirement bill for the trade dollar. A bellows explosion in a Philadelphia smithy injured workers, blowing off a brimmed hat and causing fire and dust injuries.
