The conditions are as follows: Each team is to consist of five men, and each man to shoot at fifteen live birds one shoot to be held each month for seven consecutive months, commencing in January, 1803. The team winning the cup most times will receive the prize aa their personal property. Each club will be required to file with the Coney Island Athletic association a list of twenty members in good standing, from which the shooters must be selected. Any man, of course, in such Mst, to be entitled to shoot on the team of the club naming him on their lis! but he shall be barred from shootiuf on more than one team at any suck regular monthly shoot, and will not b« permitted to shoot but once on any one team for the cup. Prizes for swimming. trotting, ruuning and other outdoor sports will also be offered.

The Abeel trophy, shot for by teams of companies belonging to the Seventh regiment, N. G. S. N. Y., was won by Company B, whose score for nine men, at 200 and iiOO yards, was 61S. This score was tied by Company A, but ac toording to the rules team took the rophy by making the highest score offhand.

Claude Daily, who gained considerable fume abroad through his expertness in the use of the rifle, died in Brussels, Belgium, of cholera, some time ago. He was 27 years old, and his mother resides in Philadelphia.

PfiOUEEDINGB OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE. Tho Stato legislature has been in soseion now very near one-half the time alotted to it for business. There hare been as yet few laws (if importance passed, and what ir»y be done muat be done soon. There have b«eu several important bills taken up, discusoed and read. Below is a summary of tho proceedings for sotne days past.

Perhaps the most important reform bill before thia legislature is the Wray bill to check the extravagance of township trustees. It provides that when a township trustee desires to contract any debt or to expend any money on behalf of his township for school supplies, roadmaking implements, etc., whose aggrogate amount shall be $50, he Bhall first file with the board of county commisaionera a petition setting forth the object for which such debt is incurred or such tnoney is expended. Any tax-pay-er of the township shall have access to the application made to the trustee and shall have power to remonstrate against tho debt or expenditure of money.

When a trustee desires to obtain a loan or incur a debt by executing note in the aggregate amount of $200 the trustee shall first file a petition with tho county commissioners together with an affidavit that he has caused notice to be given of such petition, the purpose thereof, the amount of money desired and the timo when the sam« shall be presented to the board, by posting notices in not less than five publi-: places in his tewnship at least twenty clays prior to the time when th* same is to ho heard by said board. The cause makes all notes executed without first obtaining the consent of tho commissioners null and void, For violating the provisions of this act a felony is declared, the punishment not being less than one nor more than five years in the state prison and a fine not exceeding $1,000, and disfraq, chisement.

M.r. Wray made a strong argument in favor of tho bill and presented facts which were unanswerable. He cited cases where township trustees had issued orders and skipped out to Canada, leaving the township in debt to the amount of thousands of dollars. Useless achool supplies were purchased and the people had to foot the bill. He showed that in his own county (Shelby) the school supply men entered into a conspiracy with four township trustees, and to-day the people of those townships were fighting to pay notes to the amount of $40,000 for school furniture never received.

A WEAK DEFENSE.

Mr. Parker made a weak defense of the township trustees saying that this bill was a reflection upon their honesty. Mr. Ilobson did likewise. The bill as engrossed tixed maximum limit at which trustee couid purchafejwithout ap-plication to the nnmissioners at $50. But Mr. Parker ofTored an amendment raising it to $100, which wa» accepted. Ho also favored an amendment, which was rejected, striking out tho section requiring notices to he given to the tarpayers when a debt exceeding $200 is*to be created.

Speaker Curtis to-day announced the following committee to investigate tho Jtoby race-track: Sulzer, Johnston of Marion and McMahon. Tho committee will visit Roby ono day this week. It will also probably visit Hawthorne for the purpose of making a comparison of the two racing resorts.

The senate this afternoon passed the bill restoring to the governor the appointing power. The vote was 10 to 1. The majority of the democrats in the house aro opposed to the bill, but it is believod that with the aid of the republicans it can be passed.

NEW AIM'ORTINMENT BII,I..

Senator Stuart, chairman of tho senate apportionment committee, has be^ gun tho preparation of a legislative apportionment bill. Tho committee is proceeding upon the theory that 11,020 voteB constituto the ideal senatorial dis trict and 5,510 the representative district. This is obtained in this way: The constitution requires that every six years an enumeration of tho qualified electors shall be made. Tho last enumeration was in 1889, when there were found to be 551,000 votors in Indiana. Thero are fifty senators and 100 reprosentativas in the goneral assembly, and the ratios given above aro tho quotients of the division of the total number of voters by'ho number or sonators and representatives respectively. "We intend to so apportion the state," said Sonator Stuart, "that there will be no such inequalities as wero found in the last apportionment. No senatorial district will contain in excess of 13,22-1 voters, nor fewer than 8,81(5. No representative district will contain more than G,G12 voters nor fewer than 4,408. Each district will be made up of contiguous counties."

The maximum and minimum figures above given are obtained by tho committee by the addition or subtraction of !J0 per C2nt. of the ideal number of votes to a district, 20 per cent, being the greatest divergence from the]idea! totals.

Senator McLean, of Two Haute, has

proparsd and will introduce into the leg islatuie within the next day or two joint resolution which is of great importance to Indiana. It will ask congresa for a preliminary survey for a ship canal from the howl waters of naviga tion on the Wabash river to Lake Mich igan, with plans and sped ideations and estimates of the cor.t, with a view to the. ultimate completion of the work. The plan not only proposes a deep canal from the upper Wabash to Lake Michigan near Chicago, buc alFO a system of d»)rk*s and dams to deepen tho Wabash to nine feet, so that the largest lake vessels can go directly from Chicago through the canal, down the Wabash, Ohio and Mienissippi rivers to the gulf of Mexico.

In an interview Senator McLean said that he believed tho plan entirely feasible, and that it would havo many advantages over the Hennepin canal, because it would place Chicago 500 miles* nearer Cairo, Memphis, Baton liougo and New Orleans than the Hennepin canal does. Senator McLean estimates the cost at 510,000,000, which is one-third of tho estimated cost of the Hennepin canal. It would not bo over half the length, anc) would traverse territory almost as lovel as a board. From Lake Michigan to the head of the Wabash the fall is only about one-tenth of an inch to tha mile. The head of naviga tion on tho Wabash river is near Delphi, about sixteen miles east of Lafayette and near the mouth of tho Tippecanoe river. From Delphi to tho southeriuost I poiut of Lake Michigan is eighty-seven miles. Nearly midway the proposed canal would cross the Kankakee river, tho water from which would be turned in as a feeder. It is proposed to make the canal wide enough to admit of tho largest lake steamers passing oach other with a depth of nine feet.

Mr. Hench introduced a memorial! from the Sion S. Bass G. A. R. poet of Fort Wayne favoring the stato appropriating $50,000 for the national G. A. R. encampment. He also presented one looking to a better management of the soldiers' orphans' home at Knightstown and another from the democratic soi diers'club of Allen county opposing an appropriation f(?r the G. A. R. encamp ment.

The committee on the prison north returned from Michigan-City yesterday and reports everything in the best condition. Dr. Long, who accompanied it, says that ha has visited a large number of penal institutions, but that the northern prison is the best managed of any that he has ever visited. The committee will make its report to tho house this week.

The senate passed the bi'l restoring to the governor the appointing power. The vote was 40 to 1. TJhe majority of the democrats in tho house are opposed to the bill, but it is believed that with the aid of the republicans it can bo passed.

Senator Stuart, chairman of the sonato apportionment committee, has begun the preparation of a legislative apportionment bill. The committee is proceeding upon the theory that 11,020 votes constitute tho ideal senatorial district and 5,510 the representative district.

Governor Matthews sect in his first veto this week. It was on the bill introduced by Mr. McMulIen providing for the continuance of cases in the circuit court in which members of tho legislature are engaged as attorneys. Tho governor's objection was that it provided for a continuance from ono term until the next. Thero was considerable discussion as to whether the bill should be atrain taken up on the question of passage. The chair held that it must and by a vote of 22 to 51 the vote was sustained.

Mr. Fippen is after the board of Indiana world's fair commissioners for an itemized statement of its expenditures. During the session yesterday he introduced the following resolution:

RESOLVED, That the state board of world's Columbian exposition of tho fitato of Indiana is hereby requested to 1 urnish to the house of representatives, on or before the l()th day of February', 1893, an itemized statement of the expenses incurred by said board up to tho present time, scttintr out. iu full each article purchased and tho pric paid therefor, togother with tho monev. paid for labor, setting nothing out miscellaneous and that a copy of t,hi» resolution be furnished to each of tho state board of World's Columbian exposition of the state of Indiana.

TERRIBLE PUNISHMENT OF A NEGRO.

Mob of 10,000 People at I'arls, Texas, WifnoRN the Lfamine Alire of a HjtpUt and Murderer—Horrible Brutalities fnflleted Upon H!m liies.

I'Afirs, Texas, Feb. 2.—The burning of Henry Smith is upon every Hji. When the news came that Smuh had been captured and that he ulcl bn brought here upon the 11 o'clock train he people came by train, in \Vagons, •. horse and afoot to see the /eting out o£ punishment. Whisky fthops were closed until the mobs were dispersed schools were dismissed «y a proclamation from the Mayor, nd everything was done in a business ,ihe manner. Officers saw the futility »f any efl'ort to quell the crowd, so the law was laid aside and the citizens look into their own hands the beast jn'l burned him at the stake. So horrible was the crime that the punishnioVit, so severe, seemed to the people to be inEnitesimally small in com-pari-5U«.

The history of the crime is this: Thursday last Henry Smith, a big ana mirly negro, picked up little Myrtle '"ancc.aged ?t}£ years, near her father's, Policeman Henry Vance's residence, and giving her candy to allay her fears carried her through 'central portion of the city to (iibl.ii'» ^..-.stare justwithin the corpora'.e lirntis. Then he murdered h"r, eo^fred the body with leaves and brush, and ran away. About 5 o'clock Friday morning Smith went, to the house of his wife and forced to cook him some breakfast. After eating he left and was not seen again until his capture.

At 3 o'clock Friday a mass meeting was called at the court house and captains were appointed to search for tho child. She was found mangled b.'yond recognition and covered with leaves and brush. As soon as the crime was learned the whole town turned out in the chase. The railroads put up bulletins offering fret1 transportation to those who would join in the search. Smith was tracked to his old home in Uernpstead County, Ark., jind yesterday captured at Clow, about twenty miles north of Hope. Upon being questioned he denied everything, tint later on confessed the »rime. lie was brought through Texarkana, where 5,000 people awaited the train anxious to see a man who should receive the fate of JCd Coy.

The negro was placed upon a carnival float in mockery and followed by the immense crowd was inarched through the city so that all might sec the monster. He was taken to the open square about three hundred yards from the Texas & Pacific Depot. Here he was placed upon a scaffold six feet square and ten ieet, high, securely bound within tho view of all beholders. The victim was tortured for fifty minutes by rod-hot iron brands thrust against his quivering body by the father and undo of the little girl. Commencing with the feet the brands were placed against him inch by inch until they were thrust against the face. Then being apparently dead kerosene was poured upon him, cottonseed hulls placed beneath him and set afire.

Curiosity-seekers have carried away all that was left of the scaffold, even to pieces of charcoal.

The cause of the crime was that when Henry Vance was a deputy policeman in course of duty he was called to arrest Henry Smith for being drunk and disorderly. The negro Mas unruly and Vance was forced to uso his club. The negro swore vencreance and several times assaulted Vance. The father ia* almost prostrated with grief and the mother now" lies at death's door, but she has lived to see the slayer of her innocent babe suffer the uiwst horrible death that could bo
