1 1111 ™ SOBS' HOME. I _______ Governor Matthews Signs the Bill and Appoints Four Trustees. GREENBACKS TO BE TAXED. Bill to Tills Effect Hignr.l by the Governor—Taxing of I’aldnp Stock In Building Associations Not Included tn This' Act — Legislative Proceedings — State News. . - . ■ Indianapolis, Feb. 25.—The governor on Hnturday signed the soldiers’ home bill and appointed four of the five trustees as follows: General James R. Carnahan of Indianapolis, Colonel D. M. Foster of Fort Wayne, Captain Wallace of Lafayette and Captain Murphy of Evansville. The governor also signed the greenback tax bill. It was stated in one of the Indianapolis papers yesterday morning that this bill contained a provision taxing the paid-up | stock of bupdli'ng associations, but this is a mistake. It does, however, go after the private banks in rather searchingfashion. LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. Committee ID-ports Largely Engage the Attention of Both Houses. The house opened its session Saturday morning with committee reports and remained upon that order half the morning. At 10:30 Holloway’s bill to license stationary engineers came up on third reading, and Mr. Howe moved to strike out all after the enacting clause and there was considerable argument on the . merits of the bill. Howe’s Motion was ■ defeated by a division vote and the bill ‘ failed of a constitutional majority with ■ 38 for and 30 against. Mr. Moore en- ■ deavored and succeeded in having the vote by which his bill providing for alumual representation upon the boards of the state’s higher educational institutions had been killed the night before, reconmdered. Old Claim Presented. The old measure, which has been up , for years, for the nayment of Captain J. W. Mullen’s company of the Indiana Legion for services during the late war, was brought up for passage, fathered ty Mr. Crozier. The bill involved an expenditure of a little over $5,000. A motion to reconunit it to the ways and means committee prevailed. Mr. .Spitler’s bill making railroad companies responsible for fire damage caused by I sparks from engines was taken up and ; passed without opposition. Mr. Spitler | got another bill through amending the road laws so as to define a turnpike. A I bill legalizing the corporation of Eaton, Delaware county, was passed after a heap of difficulty in getting a quorum, j This caussed the passage of a resolution “docking" each member a day’s pay when absent without leave. VoDftider Committee Report*. The time of the afternoon session was spent in listening to committee reports. One bill, however, the senate bill giving justices of the peace the power to ap-, j point a lawyer to hear a case where a change of venue is demanded, was killed by a motion to strike out the enacting clause. Senate Proceeding. The senate spent most of its day handling committee reports and wrangled a long time on Wray’s bill regulating I charges at the stockyards. After Wray I had repeatedly demanded a report from , the corporations committee on this bill, two reports came in, the majority against it and the minority for it< Jt was argued from both sides at length and finally both reports failed by a tie vote of 15 ; to 15. The bill therefore remains in i statu quo. The body adjourned early without accomplishing any finished business. CAUSED BY INSANITY.

. - - —- Galvanic BronziutrA recent improvement in galvanic i ' bronzing made by M. Mandit. ofCaene I is claimed by him to be not only r /re i simple than the ordinary process, but capable of also giving every tone from I that of Barbedlan bronze to antique ■ green, according to the length of time that the copper is allowed to remain in contact with the liquid. After the piece has been well scoured, it is cov- . ered by means of a brush with a raix- i ' tore• composed of 20 parts ca-stcr oil. 80 of alcohol 40 of soft soap, and 40 of water. Thus treated, the piece left to itself for 24 hours, becomes bronzI ed. and if the duration of the contract be prolonged the tone changes—a very ■ great variety of tones, pleasing to the. I eye. being obtainable by this means. ! The drying is finally effected with hot ’ sawdust, the only remaining opera- ; tiou being then that of coating the i piece with a colorless varnish, large- . ■ ly diluted with alcohol, in order to , obtain a perfectly satisfactory result, ■ M.
