TIIE LAW - MAKING SOLONS

The Lower House Has an Uneventful .Session and Adjourns Until Monday. 5cthinz of Importance Accompliihed Tester fcy Several ITeasnresAdTanced Towards Passage New Bills Introduced. The House proceedings, yesterday, "were opened with prayer by Representative Stone of Randolph county. The call of the roll was dispensed with, for fearitwonld show that the House lacked a quorum. The committee on county and township business, through its chairman, Mr. Work, reported, recommending that Mr. Harlan's bill preventing the encouragement of mendicancy be amended by providing that the age ot the children designated in themeaaure be under twelve years, instead of sixteen. This bill, as now engrossed, makes it unlawful for any parent, guardian or other person having the care, custody or control of any child under the age of twelve years and not being physically disabled to send such child to any. township trustee within, the.. State . for the purpose of soliciting or receiving aid or to encourage, order or compel any such child to beg or solicit alms or other charity of any person within the State, and any person so offending shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and. on conviction, lined in any sum not exceeding $50. As so amended the committee recommended its passage. The report was concurred in and the bill ordered engrossed. The committee on cities and towns, through its chairman, Mr. Voigt. recommended the indefinite postponement of Mr. Kobbins's bill amending the law in reference to the care of prisoners by providing that all able-bodied prisoners in county jails may apply to incorporated tmvni for work on roads, the towns to DAT for their services. The report was concurred in. Mr. Hoffman's bill authorizing cities and towns to fund their indebtedness was also indefinitely postponed on recommendation of the committee. Mr. Leyden's bill amending the laws in reference to the incorporation of cities by providing for the appointment of sinking-fund commissioners for cities in certain cases and prescribing the powers and duties of such commissioners was favorably reported by the committee, and the report being concurred in the bill was ordered engrossed. Mr. branstetier'a bill authorizing counties to fund their indebtedness aUo came back from the commute with a favorable report which was concurred in and the bill ordered engrossed. The committee on State medicine, health and vital statistics, through its chairman, Mr. Osterman, recommended the indefinite postponement of Mr. Gent's bill amending the law relating to the food and clothing of prisoners. Mr. Uranstetter's bill amending the law regulating the practice of medicine and surgery was reported favorably, the report concurred in, and the bill ordered engrossed. - . ' The committee on roads, through its chairman, Mr. Bowman, reported favorably upon Mr. Carroll's bill to draw the line more strictly npon road supervisors, compelling them to make itemized reports to county commissioners. On motion of Mr. Thompson, however, the bill was referred to the committee on county and township business. The committee recommended the indefinite postponement of Mr. Baker's bill amending the act concerning gravel and macadamized roads, and prescribing how the roads are to be worked, and the manner in . which township trustees shall levy assessments. The reports were concurred in. The committee recommended the passage of Mr. Harrell's bill, providing that free gravel and macadamized roads may be constructed after an estimate and survey has been petitioned for by fifty freeholders and voted favorably upon by the people of the county, the commissioners being authorized, to call an election npon the petition above referred to. Mr. Zoercher opposed the bill, . 1 1 . t .4. . I . I. 1 1 uu in oven iu lay iv uu iuo iuuio, wucrost Mr. Harrell objected to what he characterized an unfair treatment of his bill,andsaid it was the first instance of the session where an effort was made to dispose of a measure of the sort proposed in such summary fashion. A lively little tilt ensued between the two members, in the course of which Mr. Harreli insinuated that Mr. Zoercher's opposition was doe to the defeat of a highway bill introduced by that member. This brought Speaker Niblack to his feet with rather a stern' reprimand to Mr. HarrelL "No member," said the Chair, "has the right to reflect in this manner on measures 'introduced by other members. We all have bills defeated. The gentleman from Franklin acoused the gentleman from Perry of opposing the bill in question because of the defeat of his measure. I trust the members will indulge in no more of these unpleasant personalities. Debates can be conducted far better without them." Mr. Han-ell (with considerable warmth) "I did not accuse the gentleman from Perry. 1 merely referred to the fact that Mr. Zoercher's bill had been defeated and did not intend to charge his opposition to my bill to that fact. I move that the bill be recommitted to the committee on roads to be amended so that it shall provide definitely who shall pay the costs of the petition for election." This motion was agreed to, and the bill went back to the committee. Mr. Branstetter's bill authorizing county commissioners to construct free turnpikes was reported adversely, and the report was concurred in. The judiciary committee, through its chairman, Mr. Beasley. recommended the indefinite postponement of Mr. Kern's bill for the payment of premiums for the capture of horse-thieves within the State. Mr. Beasley caused someamusemant by stating that it was the opinion of the judiciary committee that such a law would briug horse-thieves into the State instead of driving them out. and they would reap a harvest of rewards by arranging to capture each other. The report was concurred in. The bill of Mr. Parker of Hendricks preventing changes of venue in liquor cases, was also adversely reported, and the report was concurred in. Mr. Beasley's bill prohibiting officials of State institutions from selling perquisites, was favorably reported, the report concurred, in and the bill ordered engrossed. It prof ides a penalty of from two to fourteen years' imprisonment for violation of its provisions. This bill is the direct outcome of the famous slop contract which has enriched Warden James Mnrdock, of the lnson North, and which was largely responsible for the recent upheaval in the 1 louse and the investigation arranged for next week. The bill of Mr. Johnson, of Dearborn, providing that township trustees shall not employ teachers to serve after the expiration of their (the trustees') terms, came from the committee with two reports, the majority recommending the indefinite postponement and the minority its passage, some discussion ensued, Mr. Ader. who signed the minority report, stating that there .was an urgent need of suoh a bill, and citing the fact that in his county the outgoing trustees had appointed two teachers whose relations with th incoming trustees were very much strained and such a state of affairs was not conducive to the successful operation of the schools. Upon hU motion the bill and the two reports were referred to the judiciary committee. Mr. Short's bill amending the act relating to public offenses by providing more severe penalties for incest was reported favorably and ordered engrossed, the report having been concurred in. The bill of Mr. Morris of Henry, amending the act relating to proceedings in civil cases by providing that actions involving less than flOO cannot be appealed to the Supreme Court, was reported favorably, and after a long discussion, in which Messrs. Cullop. Fanlkner and others opposed the measure, claiming it would work a hardship to poor litigants, the report was concurred in and the bill ordered engrossed. This result WSS larcelr due tO tha clAAr A-rnlana-tion of the character of the measure by its author, Mr. Morris, and Mr. Beasley. who successfully combatted the argument that it was against the interest of poor litigants. The present law permits the appeal to the Supreme Court of all cases involving $00 or over. The judiciary committee alao reported adversely upon Mr. Ley den's bill concerning proceedings in civil cases. Mr. Trimble's bill, amending the divorce laws by prohibiting divorced people from remarrying, and Mr. Kellev's bill, concerning appeals from judgments. The reports upon the two first-named bills were concurred in. The commit- . - ! . t rwrnm vn svwt i im iniiHrinir a r s ponement of Mr. Zoercher bill, defining the duties of coroners.

bnt upon motion of Mr. Harrell the bill was referred to the committee on fees and salaries. Mr. Curtis moved that when the House adjourns it be until Monday at 11 a. m. Upon the suggestion of Mr. Claypool the hour was changed to 2 p. M.,and the motion was then agreed to. SKW BILLS INTRODUCED. The following bills were introduced: By Mr. Osborn: To authorize county commissioners, upon petition of one-half or more owners of land assessed for the construction of any ditch or drain, to put In weirs or gates in such ditch or drain, providing for thtir location, construction and maintenance, and authorizing the appointment of viewers for such purpose. By Mr. Harrell: Amending the act concerning public offences and their punishment By Mr. Peters (by request): Legalizing the acts aud proceedings of the Board of Commissioners of Hendricks county in relation to the donation by said county of the sum of $10,000 to the Indianapolis & fit. Louis Railroad Company. The following resolution by Mr. Claypool raised a great laugh, no action being taken on it, however: WhereaA. The Representative from Ripley county (Mr. Faulkner had named lion. Daniel W. Voorhees as the next Democratic candidate for President, and the Representative from Allen Mr. Uench has named lion. Isaac Pusey Gray as his choice for the same honor, and the Representative from Putnam Mr. Ader) has placed the name of lion. Grover Cleveland in nomination also; therefore, be it Resolved. That on next Tuesday at 2 o'clock the Democratic members of this House proceed to ballot for a Democratic- candidate for President for 1892, and la order that said election may be conducted honestlr, the same shall be held under the direction of the Republican members of the House. Mr. Beasley moved to amend by providing that the election be held nnderthe Australian system. The House then adjourned until Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Sir. Faulkner Is "Agin Spring-Beds. Representative Faulkner thinks the Supreme judges of Indiana have too easy a time, and, judging from a remark he made in the course of a rambling speech on the bill of Representative Morris of Henry, which, if it becomes a law, will lessen the number of cases appealed to that tribunal by cutting off many small actions, Mr. Faulkner stated that the judges ought to do more work and spend less time in "them there spring beds." The reference to sprisg beds would lead the great publie to thick tha the member from Kipley had a dee-eated prejudice against couches of that description, and the next thins to be expected is that he

will introduoe a bill to compel the Supreme jndges to sleep on something of a less modern and comfortable character. The Barnes-Loveland Contest. The Senate committee on elections had fixed 11 o'clock yesterday morning for bear ing the Barnes-Loveland contest, but the contestant did not appear, neither was he represented by counsel. The case was briefly and informally discussed, but no action was taken. Senator Lov eland stated that when the case came up for hearing he would raise and nrge the question of jurisdiction. He said he was placed at a great disadvantage in defending the case. He had dismissed the case from mind when Barnes had abandoned his proceedings, and a renewal would compel him to leave his seat and visit the out townships and obscure polling-places throughout the two counties. Another meeting will be held Tuesday evening, at 7:30 o'clock. Making: Junket of the Investigation. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Evaxsvillx, Ind, Jan. 24.

The delegation were met by a committee of the Business Men's Association, and were immediately taken to the asylum on a special dummy train.

The total receipts reach nearly $l,80O, $l,0O0 of which is required to par the premium list. Nothing has occurred to mar the success of the show, and the losers have no complaints whatever to make. There were few who did not take . first premium on some exhibit, and nearly every exhibitor had a hand full of the different colored ribbons, to be woven together as trophies. One lady exhibitor said she would insert her premium ribbons in a quilt she intended to piece. Most of the stock was sold, some cocks and pairs commanding fancy prices. As hUhas$12and $15 was paid for some single cocks, and the prices ranged even higher for pit Karnes. First premiums were awarded yesterday to Major Gritlln on partridge-cochin cocks, D. C Plank on hens, J. W . Burton on cockerels, D. C. Plank on pullets, and J. W. Burton on pens. The special premiums on uest collections of pigeons were awarded to Erdelmeyer first, Tutewiler second and Schroder third. Negotiations for the Denlson House. Rumors having gained circulation to the effect that the Denlson Hotel bad been sold by Judge Martindale to D. P. Erwin.. the first-named gentleman was questioned by a Journal reporter List night. "It is true, said the Judge, "that negotiations have been on between Mr. Erwin and myself for about three months past, but nothing positive has been done as yet A sale Is not a sale till the papers are signed and consideration paid, so that the story that the trade is made, Is premature. I expect, however, that the trade will be perfected during the coming week. The price! o, we are not ready to state that yet. This is all I can tell yon about the matter." Robbed of Watches and Jewelry. - Fred Rauskaup, of No. 133 Dorman street, was robbed of several gold watches and some Jewelry last evening by thieves who entered the second story while the family was in the store below. - Entrance was affected by boring a hole In the door and removing the lock.
