THE DOINGS OF DEATH
The Legislature Interrupted in Their Business.
STATE SENATOR THAYER DEAD.
Appropriate Resolution* Passed and an Adjournment Taken Out of Respect to His Memory—At the Afternoon Session of the House One Important Bill Is Introduced—Senate and House.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 29. Senator Thayer of the Indiana legislature died yesterday morning at Warsaw of paralysis. The house met, passed resolutions of respect, and adjourned until the afternoon.
In the afternoon the house passed two minor bills, killed one, the contemplating change in the jury system, which was up for the third reading, and the rest of the day was devoted to the introduction of bills, the most important of these was one by Mr. Merritt for the creation of an arbitration commission to settle labor disputes.
It provides for the appointment by the governor of two commissioners, one from the employing and one from the employed class, who together with a county judge residing in the county in which tlie controversy arises. It is also permitted that each side of the controversy choose a man to serve on the board, thus making it composed of five men for each arbitration.
Each member is entitled to $10 per day for the time actually spent in the arbitration of difficulties. The commissioner may be called on by an agreement of both parties to the controversy, or may investigate of its own motion and publish the result. The circuit court is empowered to enforce the decisions of the arbitration board by the same proceedings as in contempt of court.
When the house convened in the afternoon three bills came up for passage on the third reading. The first was Air. Stotsenberg's bill, leaving the judge to fix the punishment in criminal cases and leaving the jury to determine simply the question of guilt or innooenoe. The bill was so faultily drawn that it would have abolished capital punishment, and, notwithstanding the fact that the sentiment of the house was almost unanimously against it, there was considerable discussion. It was defeated by the heavy vote of 8 to 68.
Mr. Griffin's bill compelling railroads to furnish supper at waitmg rooms, and Mr. Hollaway's bill providing for the organization of tobacco warehouse companies were passed without opposition.
A number of new bills were introduced. The death of Senator Thayer was announced to the senate, and out of respect to his memory the senate adjourned at once for the day after appointing a committee to attend his funeral.

Who Arrests Her on tlie Eve of Departure —Gussie Walker Wanted on Charge Prefered by her Husband.
BROWN-WALKER SUIT COMPROMISED
By Mrs. Walker Paying 8500 Damages— Her Bail Was Fixed at $5,000 on the Last Charge.
Today the suit of Mrs. Viola Brown against Gussie M. Walker for $5,000 damages for alienating the affections of her husband, Wm. H. Brown, was compromised by the defendant paying Mrs. Brown $400, and her attorneys. Felt & Jackson, $100. Marsh & Cook were attorneys for Mrs. Walker. This being done the case was dismissed by written request of the plaintiff, and this also dissolved the injunction against the Greenfield Banking Co., paying Mrs. Walker the $3,000, which she had in said bank. She drew this money, settled the Brown case and prepared to leave Greenfield, but as appears later she failed in her purpose.
This morning Wm. C. Walker through his attorneys, R. A. Black and Poulson & McBane, began working on the papers to secure a divorce from his wife, Gussie M. Walker and also to enjoin her from disposing of the $3000 which she drew from-the Greenfield Bank to-day. They were filed this afternoon. The complaint charges Mrs. Walker with adultery with Joseph Richardson, Wm. Brown and divers other persons at times and places unknown to said plaintiff. He further recites the fact that previous to his marriage with'her March 16, 1894, that he Entered into an antenuptial contract whereby he promised to give her 116 acres of land for considerations as follows: The defendant promised and agreed to marry the plaintiff, to treat bim well, live with him as a true and faithful wife,'and care for him so long as he might live and that in case of default or failure on her part to comply with the terms of said contract, then and in such case said contract should become null and void and'the defendant should have no lot or part of the estate of said plaintiff. A copy of said ante-nuptial contract was not filed with the complaint as it was held by the defendant. The complaint further averred that the plaintiff did deed said 116 acres of land to the defendant, according to the ante-nuptial agreement and that recently, while he still believed her true and faithful, she over persuaded him, on account of his feeble condition of mind, and induced him to join her in a deed whereby she. sold the 116 acres of land to Wm. Dudding for ,350 cash. This money was deposited in the Greenfield Bank and drawn out as stated above. An injunction was prayed for to keep the defendant from squandering the above money, but as Judge Offutt is at Danville, it could not be obtained. As it was known Mrs. Walker was about to depart from the city, an affidavit in "Ne-Exeat" was filed that she was leaving with money that of right belonged to Mr. Walker a bond for damages was given and the defendent was arrested by Constable Jeff C. Patterson at the depot, as she was about to board the 2:27 train for the went. She had her little seven year old girl with her. She had just sent a dispatch and after her arrest and failure to go, she asked to be allowed to send another one.
After going to her home for a few minutes, she was taken to the sheriff's office in the Court House and turned over to Sheriff W. H. Pauley, under a requirement to give bond for $5,000, which up to the hour of going to press has not been given. Mrs. Walker's attorneys are Marsh & Cook. "Mistakes are apt to happen in the beat of families," And the strictest folks forget their punctualities. 'Tis a good old rhyme to square yourself, To set a fellow right.
Mistakes are apt to happen in the best of families."

LAECUCHERE ON LIARS.
No lies, no gossip. Anything for a quiet lie. Littlo lies have long lives. First detest and then detract. All men are liars—especially women Animosity is the mother of invention. Society is paved with bad reputations. Slanderers are always abovo suspicion. Since the fall we all fall, but some faJI on their feet.
Never listen to two sides of a story—the second story spoils the first. Conscience is a spiritual organ contrived to check the trespass of others.
Look not a good lio in the mouth. Three women and a liar mako a slander. Thank heaven, in tho next world WP shall not be judged by tho wicked 1
