yo. Senate Quorum To Bo Endangered Without Green Smith's Express Wish. To-Day'8 Presence of Representatives and Senators Will Be Materially Reduced by Those Anxious to Visit Their Homes Sunday. In Afternoon's Work on a Bill Providing for Cash Payments for Employes. Inother Troposed Amendment to the Liquor taw Joint Convention Proceedings and Detailed Report from the Two Houses. IN REGARD TO PAIRS. 4o Effort to Adjourn Until Monday Fails In JJoth Houses. There was a flurry in both houses yesterday 0Ecerning pairs and leaves of abeence until Jlonday morning, Precedent has given legislators lomething of a claim on Saturday to enable them to return to their constituencies for the approval or condemnation of their record in the General Assembly as far as it eoes. It is, therefore, hard to adjust themselves to the exigencies of party demands to remain on the spot until the senatorial question is settled. This Jcilre to get home for a brief period at the end , each week has afflicted both Democrats and Republicans with about equal force, and it has ftquired the tightening of discipline or there would not be to-day enough Senators or Representatives on hand to make a committee of conference. Yesterday the homeward movement began with an attempt to have a concurrent resolution cf adjournment until Monday morn jnj passed. It was announced in the Horcse that Senate would consider a resolution to that jffect, if it had not already acted on it, but, while She majority of Representatives, irrespective of party, favored, some were a littlo wary f decisive action until it was positively known what the Senate would do or had done. Assurances were offered that if the House consented the Senate wor.ld, but, in the latter body, one or two self appointed interpreters of the legal requirements of the emergency are bitterly opposed to anything that will rob them of a day's privilege In voting for Judge Tu rpie. Ilad Senators Bailey, French and a few others who are supposed to be the robust Democratic power on which Senator A. G. Smith relies for support in a political crisis their way, there would be no recess even for meals, if it interfered with the joint convention. Senator Bailey's wisdom in illuminating constitutional and statutory law led him to the conclusion that a vote for Senator ought to be ialten on Sunday, but with that courteous indifference with which his party is liable to treat the political vagaries of this Senator except in voting, he was quieted. But he insists on voting Saturday, a partisan requisite with him glossed over with a desire for holding sessions on that day solely to clear out the business calendar. "When the movement to adjourn over until Monday was started. Senator Bailey, as it was expected he would, threw bis intellect and knowledge of law in tho way and killed it. Many of his Democratic colleagues did not want to follow him, but he suggested the idea that it was a Republican trap, and every one of, them except a few common -sense Democrats became alarmed. It had tho effect of turning the Democratic affability of Senator Smith, from Jennings, wrong s'ide out. He, too, of course, thought it a Republican trap, although the inception of the idea came from Democrats in both houses. As the House did not jump at the bait with the alacrity the Democrats looked for. the Senators were loth to go any further, but they had a vote and defeated the resolution. Previous to this, pairing, in anticipation of leaves of absence, had been going on, and when adjournment was no longer to be thought of, as the House bad also vol.. down a similar resolution, Senator Smith anncniced that there were twenty pairs, which reduced the Senate to thirty, much below a quorum. With his customary wish to help along the political amenities of the situation, he delivered this odiet: "In the arrangement of these pairs the Senate will be left after to-day without a Quorum. This Senate, on roll-call, cannot proceed to the hall of the House of Representatives without a "quorum. The Chair will not recognize these pair?. The Chair will take it into his own hands, and wiil see that Senators are here." Senator Day, a Democrat, had the fmerity to a?k if Senator Fowler, another Democrat, suggested that, when Senator Smith replied, "That is of no matter. The Senator from Owen did mention it, but the Chair understood it The Chair has been figuring on this matter, and ordered this statement to be made for the purpose. As the House of Representa tives naa indicated an intention not to pass a resolution to adjourn, they will have seventy-six members it ve cannot go there. passed the resolution for an adjournment until Monday," said Senator Campbell, "if the Senate had, and if the Senate passes it now the House ul encnr in it" The Chair." renlied Senator Smith, "annointd two capable and honorable Senators a committee to wait upon members of the House, and the House ought to have testified their desire in the natter.M t Senator Johnson moved to reconsider the rejection of the adjournment resolution, but this was deferred until afternoon, when the desire of Senators to arrange for an absence until Monday acaln brought up the question of pairs. Senator Emith opened the way by earing: "I have refused to recognize all pairs but three. Among the others some were made for good reasons. The rest will not be recognized. Sickness in family is a good cause for absence, but a desire ta attend to mere matters of business is not The quorum of the Senate shall not be broken." ''I do not recognize," said Senator Campbell, 'that the Chair has any power to declare off those agreements for pair. Nor has he power to aet on requests for leaves of absence. That belongs to the Senate." "The Chair," Senator Smith remarked, with a show of apperlty, "will have something to do in Preventing a quorum being broken. I will exerS'?9 that Power. thoiih T am wnl! wnrA tin

NretvT,;nt Inca mads would be violated either .y a Democrat or Republican. I propose, howr, to interfere when the quorum is in jeopardy." Seven pairs, or thrt temporary reduction I the Senate vote to thirty-six, two more than quorum, were arranged. A few more Senators anted the same privilege, and Senator Winter held that the mere fact the Senate did not have quorum would not interfere with the joint contention. The law simply requires that there shall majority of members in that body. It does Dot use the word House, Senate or quorum. It . s the fact that there had been instances of the House refusing to join the other for this pur8 that caused the law to be passed. After seven pairs had been perfected and absence KfCte t0 taoso ho wanted to go home under arrangement, Senator Duncan,, of Brown, a ,H !iCPat deeirous of leaving the city, was intvfV UJ in,5flt on h5 eht to He did not - Lff anyone could interfere with his plans. Be Chair has the right to interfere, said Sen--! Bmith "nd will exorcise it If you go you w at your Peril. I will send the Door-keeper wr J00-" v The reconsideration of the joint res

olution failed. In the House twenty-nine pairs were arranged, bo there is no likelihood of an eventful joint convention to-day. WORKINGMKN'S WAGES. Measures to Secure Payment In Full and in Cash.

In the round of legislation the Senate used the afternoon, yesterday, in amending the Barrett bill, which provides that every association, cor poration, joint stock company, copartnership or individual shall make full settlement with and full payment in money to its employes engaged in manual or mechanical, labor, at least once every week. The second section s&vs that a failure to do so shall make the employers as named liable to a penalty of $1 for each day succeeding ten days of neglect to pay after the employe has made a demand for the wages due him. But the material parts of the bill occur in Sections 3 and 4, the first - of which makes all debts due or owing to any such employe a first lien on all the property owned or controlled by the employers, which is the product of the labor of any such employe in whole or in part, or which is U6ed in or about the business in which such employe is engaged. This lien is to take precedence of all other debts, judgments, decrees, mortgages or liens and may be collected out of such property, real and personal, in the same manner as mortgages are now foreclosed. The acceptance of any due-bill or note for the amount shall not deprive the employe of the lien herein provided for. The fourth section reads that when property of the class of employers mentioned in the bill pastes into the hands of an assignee, trustee or receiver, or is seized through process of anv court of this State, or of the United States, or where the business is suspended by the action of creditors, or wherever such employers convey, mortgage or otherwise dispose of its or his property, the debts owing to the laborers or employes thereof shall bo first liens and considered as preferred debts, and shall be first paid in full before any other debts are paid; and if there be not sufficient to pay them in full, then the same shall be taid to them pro rata. After some immaterial amendments, except in making the bill apply to all classes of labor and services, whether manual or not, and excepting a clause exempting farmers, the bill went to engrossment Along with it ia carried Mr. Jewett's House bill, which requires corporations and persons engaged in all kinds of mining, Etone quarrying and in manufacturing of iron, 6teel, lumber, lumber staves, heading, barrels, brick, tile, machinery, agricultural or mechanical implements, or any article of merchandise, to pay em ployes in full at least once every two weeks in lawful money of the United States. Section 9 makes it unlawful to pay for labor a written or printed order unless it is redeema Me at its face value in lawful money of the United States, with 8 per cent interest Sec tion 4 makes it unlawful for the employers named to sell, directly or indirectly, to any of their employes any merchandise or supplies at a nigner price than such merchandise or supplies are sold by such corporation, company, associa tion, firm or person to others for cash. A fail ure to pay under these requirements gives the employe right to 20 per cent damages, and a vi olation of any of the sections is to be treated as a misdemeanor, with a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $500. Liquor Law Amendment. Representative Ackman has a bill amending Section 3 of the liquor law, as follows: Section 3. Any male inhabitant over the age of twenty-one (21) years, desiring to obtain a license to sell intoxicating liquors, shall file with the board of county commissioners the written consent of the majority of the legal voters of the township, town or ward in which such applicant desires to sell, at least thirty days before the meeting of the board at which such applicant intends to apr ly for such license and said applicant shall also give notice to the citizens of such township, town or ward, by publishing in a weekly newspaper, of general circulation, published in the county, a notice, stating the precise location of the premises in which he desii es to sell, which notice shall be filed with the board of commissioners of the county at least thirty days before the meeting of the board at which such applicant intends to apply for such license, or, in ease there is no such paper published "in the county, then by posting no written or printed notices in three . of the most public places of the township in which such applicant desires to sell, and filing a copy of such notice with the board of commissioners as above provided in case of publication in a newspaper, and withm the time therefor provided. The written consent of voters and the notices herein required shall be subject to the inspection of any citizen of th county at any time. It shall be the privilege of any citizen of ti. county to appear before such board of commissioners at any time before the granting of a license to any applicant and contest any or all matters or statements contained in any written consent of voters or notices herein required, or to remonstrate against the granting of a license to any applicant on account of immorality or other legal cause. . ; THE SENATORIAL BALLOTING. No Change Id the Situation, and Little Probability that There Will Be Soon. The vote in the joint convention yesterday, on account of three pairs among Senators, reached a lower point than at any time of this perfunctory daily proceeding. This took six names for the time being off the roll those of Senators Schloss, Kennedy, Weir, Davis, Rahm and Moon. The first three named, with the fifth, had gone to their respective homes. In the House the usual vote was restored by the presence of Mr. Dickerson. It required oolv twenty minutes to complete the matter for record, Har rison receiving sixty -eight votes, Tnrpie seventy two and Allen his usual four. When the con vention ballots to-day there will be seventy-two votes missing on the arrangement of pairs, the Representatives and Senators leaving the city being about equally divided among the Democrats and Republicans. It is verging on the im possible to expect an? change in the situation for several days to come. Features of the Dead-Lock. The senatorial dead-lock has been discussed until it is threadbare, and isn't receiving any great amount of attention now from the poli ticians of either party. They all seem to have agreed to let it run along as it is for the present, at least They could not agree on anything else, for there are no means in sight by which it can be broken. A great many Senators and Repre sentatUes left for their homes last evening, and some of them will not be back before Monday or Tuesday. Nearly all the advising politicians from over the State have also gone home for a short rest. To-day the few remaining members will go through the formality of taking a ballot for the purpose of conforming with the letter of the Jaw. Between now and Monday there will probably be nothing done toward breaking the dead-lock. IheUem ocrats still have hopes that next week will bring some new developments, but how any change is to be brought . about they , have no means of knowing. Congressman Bynum has returned from Washington, and his presence has created some talk and excitement among the Democrats. The correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer claims to hate information from a prominent and reliable Democrat to the effect there 99 a scheme to yet make Bynum the Democratic candidate. The Democrat from whom the information purports to come is not named. The scheme on its face is a very plausible one, and some Democrats are willing to give it credence, but those who are in a position to know state that it is wholly imaginative. -Bynnra's friends declare that there is not a word of truth in the statement that he is engaged in any scheme to displace Turpie. It would he political suicide, they say, for him to attempt anyming 01 me kiuu, ana riaicuie ie idea. There is no doubt but what Bynum would be glad to become a compromise candidate, but his friends claim that if he ever becomes such it will be openly and in an honorable way. Said a prominent Democrat last night, "He could not carry the straight Democratic vote. There are at least seven members who declare that thsy will support no one but Tur pie. and it is nonsense to talk of springing another candidate." The dspendents al0 deny that they have any intention to leave Allen for Bynum or anyone else, and reaffirm their determination to stick to their man until the Assembly adjourns in case there is no election. Legislative Notes. Representative Beasley wants to make election days legal holidays. The Roberts bill, with tho House amendment,

making it a misdemeanor to change the tally sheets, vote fraudulently, or switch ballots at a

primary election, nas passed to engrossment The Dronosition to purchase paper files, which, it was said, would have caused an outlay of $250, failed in the House yesterday by a large major ity, after the committee had reported favorably on it The telephone subscribers of Shelbyville have sent to Representatives Conger and Major a petition pieced by men representing in the aggre gate $2,000,000, requesting the Assembly to re peal the present telephone law. The soldiers' monumental committee of the State met the House committee on military affairs, last night, to urge action on the Gardiner monument bill appropriating $200,000 for the structure to be erected in the Circle Park. The bill granting more privileges to laborers and mechanics in the way of liens on employers' property for work done, and indorsed by contractors, mechanics and material men, was introduced in the House yesterday by Representative Morse. Senator I. B. McDonald says he wants to be consistent in sustaining his Orphans' Home billlie has charge of it at the request of the G. A. R., and would not consent to its being taken away from Knightstown, whose people had fostered the institution. In the committee he suggested the compromise to give Fort Wayne the School for the Feeble-minded. Arrangements have been completed at Lafayette whereby the legislative committee visiting Tippecanoe battle-field to-day will be given the nse of a coach and locomotive by the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Railroad Company. The State, some years ago. placed an iron fence around the battle-ground, but it is now in need of repairs. The delegation is expected to arrive at Lafayette at 9:30 o'clock this morning, over the Big Four, where it will be joined by a committee from the Merchant's Exchange. The bill creating a Circuit Court for Marion county alone, and placing Hendricks and Boone together for this purpose, is not opposed on account of the Marion county feature. It was said by Representative Fleece that the Hendricks people protest because Lebanon and Danville have no direct railroad communication; hence, they prefer a judicial circuit with some county other than Boone. On tho other hand, information from Danville says the members of the oar and county officers of Hendricks do not favor the Bailey bill, which makes Montgomery and Hendricks a circuit They, it is represented, want the circuit to include Boone, and not Montgomery. Senator Campbell and Representative Fleece are to receive a petition to this effect The Buskirk primary election bill, introduced yesterday, provides that volunteer political associations may call such elections by published notice, stating all conditions, qualifications of voters and naming a supervisor. This call is to be printed in a newspaper and posted in at least three places in each election precinct. In the absence of any officer empowered to administer oaths the supervisor can be sworn in by a freeholder, in the presence of two witnesses. It will be the supervisor's duty to protect the election against all fraud and unfairness, and to truly canvass the votes cast thereat He will have power to appoint all necessary assistants, who must be reputable citizens And qualified voters of the precinct. The supervisor is to entertain the challenging of any voter, and, in determining the legality of the vote, must proceed as inspectors do at regular elections. If the challenge is not withdrawn the voter must 6wear in his vote. A violation of the act Is declared a misdemeanor, to which a fine of not less than $25 nor more than $500, or a jail sentence of not more than six months, is attached. The bill also contains a provision against buying and offering to buy votes at primaries. For this a penalty of fines from $10 to $1,000 is affixed, with disfran chisement for a period not longer than eight years. THE PROCEEDINGS IN DETAIL, THE SENATE. Amending the Employes' Wage BUI on Its Second Reading. The Senate session yesterday was opened with prayer by R. S. Neiehbor, pastor of the North Baptist Church. Mr. Thompson, of Jasper, presented a paper from the wool-growers of Indiana favoring a san itary live-stock commission. Mr. Campbell presented a memorial from the Society of Friends of the Western Yearly Meeting, desiring a non-partisan management of the the benevolent institutions by men and women. Also, one on the subject of a high court of na tional arbitration. He also offered a joint resolution for a memorial to the federal Congress looking to the settlement of national difficulties by arbitration, which resolution was read the first time and referred to the committee on federal resolutions, with a request that it be re ported back at an early day. Afternoon Ssston. The special order, being the consideration of the Senate bill requiring employers to pay em ployes at least once each week, was called up, with the House bill of the same purport Mr. Campbell was at a loss to know why such a bill should become a law. Such efforts as these have tended more to injure the laboring man than otherwise. Mr. Zimmerman moved to amend Section 1 by Insertiug the words '"in the absence of an express contract to the contrary." Mr. Barrett objected to the amendment as fatal to the bill, as did also Senators Bailey and Tbarp. Mr. McDonald hoped all would vote for this bill in the interest of labor and in the interest of those who emplov labor. Mr. Urmston moved to amend the report by striking the emergency clause from the bill. Time should be given corporations and others to prepare for so radical an enactment The committee report was concurred in. The amendment Senator Zimmerman's was rejected by yeas, 14: nays, 26. Mr. Smith, of Wells, moved to amend by excevting tarmera. Mr. Urmston moved to substitute the words "except those engaged in agricultural pursuits." Mr. Howard, of bt Joseph, offered a substi tute for both amendments by appropriately in serting the words: "And having more than ten employes engaged in the same business." Re jected. Senator urmston witnarew nis substitute in favor of the amendment. Agreed to, upon a di vision. Affirmative Is, negative 10. Mr. Winter moved to amend Section 1 by striking out the words "engaged in mechanical or manual labor," and by adding the words "and any contract to the contrary shall be void Agreed to. Mr. Drake moved to amend Section 3 serting the words "and mortgages made cure purchase money." by to in-se-Mr. Winter moved to strike out the words "manual and mechanicaL" Mr. Dresser offered a substitute leaving out the word "mortgage." Rejected. The amendment to the amendment was agreed to. as was the amendment as amended. Mr. Tharp moved to amend by inserting the words "and judgments rendered for labor as provided in this act" Agreed to. Mr. DeMotte moved to amend by adding a pro viso requiring notice to be given in accordance with the lien law, and bring action in six months. Mr. Bailey moved to fix the time at twelve instead of six months. Rejected, as was the amendment of Senator DeMotte. The bill was ordered engrossed. Adjourned, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Disnosal of Committee Reports and Miscel laneoas Business. The Honso, yesterday, was opened with prayer bv the Ivev. J? atner liessomea. By consent two bills were introduced, one by Mr. Klein, to repfal Sections 2126 and 2127 It S. IS31, commonly known as the "Intimidation Laws." and the other by Mr. Alexander, to re quire county clerks to report the qualification cf notaries to the secretary ot btato. The unfinished business was tb$ amendment offered by Mr. Harrell to Mr. Roberts's election fraud bilf. Mr. Jewett opposed the amendment. for the reason that there was no law regulating the holding of primaries and that the amendment should not be made part of this bill. After some further favorable comment on the bill tbe amendment to the amendment was adopted and the bill ordered engrossed. The judiciary committee recommended the passage of Mr. "Alexander's bill to amend the law defining arson. Mr. Alexander said the object of the bill was to make it applicable to all dwellings instead of limiting it, as the present law does, to those that were of the value of $20 And upwards. Under the present law men had

escaped punishment because the house burned was of little value, even though the contents were entirely destroyed. " Mr. Foster spoke a'gainst and Messrs. Roberts.

Scott and VanSlyke in support of the bill, holding that the principle was the same whether the building burned was a poor man's cabin or a rich man s palace. That if Mr. Foster would go over Madison county he would find any number of cabins that were not worth $15, and yet they afforded shelter for poor men, and should be protected as well as the houses of the wealthy. On motion ofMr. Gardiner a resolution pro viding for the appointment of a committee on pairs was adopted. Messrs. Gardiner and Jewett were appointed. Mr. Jewett introduced a bill to nrevent the as signing of claims for garnishment, and Mr. Ack man a duj 10 legalize the incorporation and the acts of the trustees of the township of Fortville. Afternoon Session. Mr. Beasley introduced a bill to make election days public holidays, Mr. Harly one to regulate the construction of ditches, and Mr. Morse one amending parts of the mechanic's lietf law. There was some discussion on the reoorta of the judiciary committee on Mr. Mock's bill requiring the amount of attorney's fees to be spe cified in notes. The majority report favored its passage, and the minority report.its indefinite postponement Messrs. iuocK and Roberts were the principal supporters of the bill. Mr. Griffiths spoke in favor of the minority re port, because no rule could be fixed that would meet all cases, no one knowing, when a note was executed, what amount of litigation would grow out or it. livery one supposed when he gave a note that it would be paid and not sued on, and so aid not notice the amount of fees. Under this law the highest rate would always be put in. Messrs. Buckles, Patton and Ibach denounced the whole method of extorting fees in this manner, and thought no provision for them should be valid. The minority report was substituted for the majority report Mr. Gnfhths's bill to make Marion eonntv the Nineteenth judicial circuit and to make I?oone and Hendricks the Twentieth was reported on favorably. Mr. Fleece moved to recommit and make it a special order for next Fridav at 2 p. M., so as to give the people of Hendricks county an opportunity to protest Thev were opposed to being kieked out of this circuit and particular ly opposed 10 being joined with Boone county, for the reason that the seats of these two counties had no direct communication. The repont was concurred in. Mr. liuskirk introduced a bill to regulate the holding of primary elections. . mr. xvouens onerea a resolution assine tor a 11. v. a. r . committee to inquire into the cost of printing the calendars. In support of this, he said thAt he had reliable information that for the last session they cost $o,500. and that each time bills were added the printers charged for the entire work as if it was new. The resolution was adopted, and Messrs. Rob erts, Covert and Dickerson were appointed as the committee. Adjourned. Death from Diphtheria. Thursday afternoon Layton, six-year-old son of Henry Green, residing at No. 44 Cherry street, died of diphtheria. The parents feared the other children were in danger of taking the disease, and the father took the child to Franklin for burial, alone in a hack, public conveyance being forbidden.

PUMP. PUMPING MACHINERY FOR ALL PURPOSES SEND for CATALOGUE AND PRICES. SOLID FACTS About Dr. Barker,' the Oculist and Aurist, 64 East Market Street. On the 7th of December Dr. Barker opened an office at tho Denison for the purpose of treating affections of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat, adjusting Spectacles and inserting Artificial Eyes, intending to remain but three or four weeks. His coming had been her alded by the press of the city, circulars, etc, all bearing unquestionable evidence of his superior skill and success in the treatment of those affections, of which he is acknowledged to be the master. Coming to us as a stranger it was but natural that some should doubt fais assertions and question his ability. There were those, however, -who were suffering from disease and deformities who had doctored and doctored in vain, with little or no prospect of reliaf, consequently were anxious to test every power of human skill era they should yield to the belief that there was no help for them. These were the first who called. They told their friends of their success, their friends their neighbors; the news spread from the city to the country. As a result his practice increased until he found more time, and more commodious quarters and easy of access, neeessary to accommodate all applying for treatment Hence he moved his office from tho Denison to 64 East Market street, and prolonged his stay until Saturday, Feb. 19. Thus it was that the few who determined to test his claims were the means of dispelling skepticism from the minds of all fairminded people, and the nucleus of what has resulted in a practice unparalleled in the history of this city. While his reputation has been gained by his dexterity as a surgeon, it should be borne in mind that he op erates only as a last resort. 90 percent, of his patients being cured by mild medications.
