Our old friend, "The Black Crook," that gave children the shivers back In war times and made older folks shake with laughter, returned last night and opened to the biggest audience at English's since Eddie Foy was In town, l is more spectacular than ever. Red flames and weird spirits are plentiful, while the contingent of scantilyattlied coryphees is as large and glaring in pink tights as ever. "The Black Crook" was one of the first great "pink tigHts" ehows that dared to face an audience, and save ministers topics for sermons that in ttome rural sections are still doing service. Of course, the reverend gentlemen never aw the show, but they knew it furnished amusement, gave dyspeptics a few moments Burcease of pain and put a number tit people In good spirits, so that they were perfectly right . in believing its teachings were exactly contrary to those of the pulTlt. 'The Black Crook" has not reformed. nd seems determined on going to its grave without a death-bed conversion. Along with the extravagant elucidation of its dark plot there are a number of clever specialties, sufficiently good to merit numerous well as instruct, to a degree;, all sorts of theater-goers. The engagement continues the rest of the week with a popular matinee to-morrow. Grnnd-'rriend" To-Sight. The plot of ' "Friends," ( Edwin Milton Itoylc's comedy drama is given for the teneflt of those who missed the performance when last here.

The Park has a strong attraction in "My Aunt Bridget," whiah opened yesterday. - George W. , Monroe's creation of the goodJiatured. . blundering Aunt Bridget will be fondly . remembered when many, farce-oom-' edy creations have drifted into oblivion. .Last night his spontaneous "Oh, by gosh," Created just as much laughter as when he first sprung it on Indianapolis several years ago. He has introduced two clever bits of . natural comedy in the play, his fortunetelling scene and his soliloquy in the third act. His "Oh, gee, I got the blues," was the "signal for a roar from the audience. This is the last season of "My Aunt Bridget," and the next four performances will be the last in Indianapolis. The specialties this season are all new, prominent among which are Monroe's songs, "The Seven Husbands" and his old original "Eh! Hid I Hear You?" Thomas Grady, as the tough, lent new, coloring to that character, IJndsey Morrison possesses a fine bass voice, and uses it effectively in a well-selected solo. Miss Falk, a new comer, sings a pretty ballad. A pretty and effective Dora la Miss Mamie Ryan, a Droterre of Clara Morris. Lottie Collins has an American rival In Miss Nellie Bland, who, in addition to her exceptional musical accomplishments proved a, dainty comedienne.

Harry Neagle, in the New York Recorder, ays: "I hope that Zelda Seguin Wallace's injuries, caused by the Coatesville accident, will not prove fatal. Her name ia inseparably connected with the history of Enshe was a great favorite here. She was the first 'Carmen' I ever saw. I have seen much worse since." , CITY KEWS NOTES.

NEEDS OF THE INSANE

DR. EDE.MlARTER WAXTS f 200,000 FOR MAIXTEXAXCB. Dr. Smith, of the Eastern Hospital, "Wants f 100,000 to Increase the Capacity of the Institution. : The House committee on ways and means met last night at the Statehouse to . consider the appropriations necessary for the hospitals for the insane. Drs. Edenharter, of the Central, Rogers, of the Northern, and Smith, of the Eastern, were present, at the request of the committee. Dr. Thomas, of the Southern, sent word that he was , detained, and would abide by the conclusions of the committee. Dr. Edenharter was heard first in behalf of the Central Hospi til for the Insane. He went over the items of appropriation asked for, saying " that $260,000 would be needed annually for maintenance, the Same as for two years past, and that $12,500 would be needed to finish the new laundry which was built after the'old one was destroyed by fire. He asked for $10,000 for painting the buildings, which cover fifteen acres, and have not had paint for fifteen or eighteen years. He said it was a question not merely of comfort to the inmates, but of preservation of the property. He asks for $20,000 in two years for repairs upon the same score and $10,00(1 for plumbing. He declared that the condition of the buildings and the plumbing would show the committee the urgent need if they would only visit the hospital and see its condition. The members of the committee asked a number of questions. It is probable they will visit the Institution. Dr. Rogers asked for $25,-' WX) for the purpose of enlarging the hospital at Logansport so as to admit the large number that are waiting for admission. He asked for $100,000 for maintenance for the first year and $103,000 for the second, lie said the institution has 506 beds and every one occupied. Dr. Smith, of the Eastern Hospital, asked for $95,000' maintenance, the same as in the past year, and for $100,000 for increasing the capacity 50 per cent. He said the institution, in a year's time, would be absolutely filled with chronic cases, which he is not, under the law governing three new hospitals, allowed to remove to their " respective counties when it is necessary to make room "for new acute cases. There would then be no admission except as room was made by death, and the institution would no longer be a hospital, but an asylum. He said the improvements asked, for would give accommodations for two hundred more patients, and that he has already 175 applications for admission of insane in the counties which constitute the hospital district. . He said that 'one-fourth of these with such treatment as the hospital affords would be curable if received in time, but the hospital cannot find room for them. The point was impressed upon the committee that the period is not far off when there will be no more room for the treatment of acute cases of insanity in the new hospitals, which would produce a situation similar to having no hospitals for the insane. After hearing the superintendents of hospitals the committee went Into executive session for the consideration of the State tax commission's bill to correct administrative features, of the tax law. GAS INSPECTOR NO MORE. House Abnllsltea the Office by a Vote V" of 70 Ao 3. f The House began business yesterday With further debate upon bill No.. 109, which would make it unlawful to collect toll on a road not twelve ' feet wide and with twelve Inches of gravel on it. A motion was made by Mr. Pettit to amend the bill so as to exempt roads now existing and operating, under the present law. This was de feated and then Mr. Pettit spoke against the general terms of the bill. Mr. Bobilya and Mr. McBeth participated in the discussion, which ended In a motion prevailing to- strike out the enacting clause of the bill. - . ' ; A spirited debate developed when the House took up bill No. 19, which provides for the appointment of a State boiler inspector with five-assistants. This bill makes the appointment of the Inspector incumbent upon the Governor,- Auditor of State and Attorney-general, and that he must bo a practical - boiler maker -of ten years' experience. If the owner . of a boiler feels aggrieved at a report from tne; State Inspector the bill provides that he may appeal, to the State board of inspection, consisting of the State officials named. Boilers must be Inspected at least once a year by the hammer test or the hydrostatic test. The bill provides for a fee of $3 on boilers of twelve horse power or less and $5 for boilers exceeding twelve horse power, unless there shall be more than one boiler when the fee shall be $3 for each boiler The salary of the inspector is made $2,000 tZetr aild,,tllat of.lhe deputies $1.2o0 each, which shall be paid out or tfte fees collected. Speaker Adams called Mr. Leedy to the chair and took the floor in support of the bill.' He said that he had suffered loss in his own business from a defective boiler One of his employes had been killed by a boiler which had not been properly Inspected. ' The discussion went only ran enough to show that the bill would meet with lively opposition, and on motion of Mr. Pettit it was made the special order for next Tuesday. House bill No. 117 to abolish the office of natural-gas inspector was called up, with the Speaker still on the floor. He asked that the bill be postponed for a day or two, but the House rerused to postpone action. Mr. Adams said he was in favor of the bill. The office, he said, was a fifth wheel and established an inspector who did not inspect. He urged that the office be abolished. Mr. Hundley, the author of the bill. Who is from the gas belt, said the office is of no use to the belt and should be abolished. The last inspector, he said, had done a great deal of harm to the State by false reports about the supply of gas. Mr. Ross, of Delaware, also favored the bill. The Inspector, he said, was constantly making false reports about t e supply of gas and yet manufacturers are continuing to invest in the belt. Mr. Harris, of Hamilton, county, said he knew that the recent inspector had circulated false reports about the gas in his county. Mr. Cardwill, from the other end of the State, opposed the bill, saying that It looked to him as if it would convey an impression that the people of the gas belt were afraid to have the supply investigated. Mr. Terhune, from the "belt," also favored the passage of the bill. The reports of the inspector, he said, were a detriment to the State. Mr. McCaskey. of Grant county, spoke in the same strain. The bill was passed by a vote of 76 to 3. The objectionable Incumbent of the office whose term expired in ovember was succeeded by Prof. Leach, of Kokomo. under appointment by State Geologist Blatchley, who will, if the bill passes the Senate, be out of a job. House bill No. 181, providing that those who grow hedge or other live fences must keep them trimmea to a height of five feet and a width of three feet, was passed without much debate. Mr. Harris spoke in its .favor, saying that if such a law had been in existence in the past it might have prevented a quarrel between larmers in his county which resulted in a murder and one man going to the penitentiary. Adjournment was taken for dtnner. ATTORNEYS FEE BILL DEFEATED. Promissory Notes May Still Provide for Pee for Collection. - It was difficult for the Senate to muster a quorum yesterday, and when it finally ytit one it was difficult to hold it. One or two committees were away looking after State institutions, and a number of Senators-had been excused to look after business, of a personal character that was more pvessing than that of the State. Lieutenant -Governor Nye sent the -doorkeepers skl-.nnishing through the corridors in search c the absentees, , and the procession was finally started. The huge grist of temrierance memorials that were handed up to Reading Clerk Hatcher yesterday morning indicated a preconcerted move on the part of the temperance people all along t'n line. Every

enator had one, arid one Senator-had eight. There was nearly a wheelbarrow load of them. All portrayed the evils of the flowing bowl and the use of narcotics. It was asked that the deleterious effects of liquor and of the drugs that are in common usebe made the subject of special instructions from a scientific standpoint in the public schools. Senator Newby thought these memorials should be referred to the committee on education, but they were sent to the committee on temperance. ' The matter of chief interest in the Senate yesterday was the fight made by Senator LaFollette to save his bill to strike from promissory notes, and make unlawful, the claase providing the attorneys' fees. A majority report from the committee on judiciary recommended the indefinite postponement of the bill, while a minority report recommended its passage. In advocating the adoption of the minority report Senator LaFollette said the attorneys fee clause was made the source of great hardship to borrowers who were not able, sometimes, to meet their obligations when they became due. It had come to be the practice, he said, for attorneys who sued for the collection of a note to divide their fees with their clients, the money lenders, who thus became directly Interested to having the makers of these notes lapse in meeting their obligations. This sort of practice it was stated also extended in some case to the banks. Senator LaFollette denounced this method of grinding the debtor as a disgrace to the legal profession, and one of the objects of the bill was to drive this sort of sharks out of the law. , It was argued on the other hand that the immediate effect of the bill would be to raise the rate of interest. As a rule, the lawyers of the Senate were against the bill, while nearly everybody else was. for it. The motion of Senator LaFollette to substitute the minority for the majority report was defeated, and the majority report was adopted. Senator Packard stated, after the Senate adjourned, that he had .in preparation a bill that provided for the disbarment of any attorney who was convicted of dividing with his'client fees paid in cases of this description, and also providing that the persons from whom the fees were collected shall have the right to recover from the plaintiff twice the amount of the fees so paid. SENATE COMMITTEE REPORTS.

Senator Shlveley'ft Libel 11111 Acted Lpon Favorably. The various committees got in a fair day's work in the Senate yesterday in the way of making reports. The judiciary committee reported favorably . the libel bill of Senator Shlveley, which provides that persons contemplating a suit for libel shall give three days notice in writing and that in the event of a suitable retraction actual damages only shall be recovered. The committee also recommended the passage of Senator Collett's bill giving Judges authority ' in application for changes of venue in certain minor cases. . The insurance committee tecommended an amendment to Senator Wlshard's 'bill to prevent discriminations in insurance rates, and, as amended, recommended the passage of the bill. The amendment suggested strikes out' the section that proposed to give a part of the fine Imposed to the informer. The committee on cities and towns favorably reported the bill for a firemen's pension fund. Senator Baker, who was appointed a committee of one to reconstruct his cigarette bill, in accordance with suggestions embodied in a number of amendments that were offered, reported a cigarette bill and recommended its. passage. The bill prohibits the sale of any cigarettes that are deleterious to health; axes the license lor wholesalers at $100 and for retailers at $50; provides that license shall not issue for less than a year and must be posted in a conspicuous place. The license cannot be transfered and violations of the law are made punishable with a fine of from $10 to $500. -' , Senator Houghton, from the committee on elections, reported progress In the FoustRlnear contest case. He stated that some evidence had been taken, but that the committee would not be ready to report before the 7th of February. The committee was granted that much more time in which to report. The committee made a report recommending the passage of Senator Newby's bill permitting all parties to have watchers at the. polls. There was a majority report and a minority report on Senator Seller's bill to do away with the publication of notices of elections and the posting of election notices by sheriffs, and the bill with the two reports was ordered printed. The committee ordered the printing of Senator Stuart's bill providing penalties for election law violations. "The reports were adopted. Senator Holler, from the committee on agriculture, presented a number of reports.. The bill poviding that County Commissioners shall have authority to buy fair grounds that have become encumbered and hold them subject to redemption by the fair association was recommended for passage. Senator .Beck's bill, providing that fences and drainage tile shall be a Hen on-the lands on which or in which they are located, was favorably reported. Senator Boyd's bill, providing for the creation of a State Veternary Board, was recommended for indefinite postponment. Senator Shiveley offered a resolution providing that after Monday next but one committee shall absent itself from the Senate at once, and the resolution was adopted. Senator Parker offered a resolution requiring the temperance committee to make a report not later than next Tuesday. The agonizing solicitude ofif Senator Parker for the cause of temperance was set at rest by the statement of Senator Crumpacker, that there had been no bills referred to the committee on temperance and then the resolution was laid on the table by a party vote. LAKE SUPERIOR COURT. mil to Create It Still In the Hands of the Judiciary' Committee. The House judiciary committee had another round last night with the gentlemen who are interested in the bill which is to establish a Superior Court which shall sit in the cities of Valparaiso, Hammond and Michigan City. Emmett H. Scott, of LaPorte, spoke in opposition to the bill, and H. B. Tuttle, of Miohlgan City, talked in its favor. Representatives Hunt and Culbert both asked the committee to make a favorable report Mr. Dinwiddle, the Representative from Lake, one of the counties affected, said that he was opposed to the bill. The committee decided to postpone final action until the meeting to-morrow nlMr!' Smith's bin providing that notes for less than $100 containing a provision for attorney's fees, and notes for amounts in excess of $100 that fix an attorney's fee to exceed 2 per cent shall be non-collectible, will be returned to the House with the recommendation that the bill be Indefinitely postponed. JUlKe recommendations will be made on Mr. Howe's resolution calling for a constitutional amendment fixing the terms of office of the State and county officials at four years, and Mr. Garriott's bill providing that county commissioners be elected by their respective districts. Favorable reports will be made on the bill introduced by Mr. Willis, providing that incorporated towns may license shows, peddlers and all itinerant venders. Mr. MerrHt's bill, which provides that bankable paper falling due on Mondays that are legal holidays shall become due on the Saturdays before, will be reoorted back with the recommendation that it be amended so that-the paper will fall due the Tuesday following a legal holday that falls on Monday. It also fmakes Memorial Day, Labor Day and certain other days holidays for banking purposes and in regard to the sale of liquor. The committee reached a conclusion on the county seat trouble in Jackson county, but refused to announce its decision last night. The proposition In Mr. Merritt's bill to chanee the time of the electon of county superintendents from June to August will be reported back unfavorably. The end to be accomplished,, the committee believes, is to make possible the election of JKpublican superintendents instead of Democratic, and this, they say, can best be accomplished in another way. The committee will ask leave to print Cardwill'9 Torrans land system bill. CARS MUST HAVE VESTIBULES. The Houie Tnnifa the Bill Wlthont n Dissenting Vote. The bill to require street railway companies to provide vestibules for their cars was called immediately after dinner. Mr. Van Arsdel and others spoke in Its favor. The vote was 76 for the bill and none against it. Mr, Hunter called attention to the omission of the penalty, provided in the title and this was amended and the title of the bill declared in proper form. A .nessenger from the Senate announced the passage of several bills. Speaker Adams called up Senate bill Hi, which gives the Criminal Court Judge of Marion county a salary of $4,000 a year. It was read and referred to the committee on affairs of Indianapolis. Senate bill 64, providing for a $600 debtor ; exemption was referred to the committee on Judiciary. Senate bill 125, exempting cemetery associations irom taxation, vai sut to tUa conunitte e wava

and means. Senate-bill-22. -relating to the vacation of abandoned highways, went to the roads committee. :. Mr. Merritt's bill for the publication, at State's expense, of the investigations of the Indiana Academy - of Science, was called up on third reading. Mr. Pettit, moved to recommit and amend the bill so as to limit the expense to $500 Instead of $2,000, as in the bill. Mr. Cardwill took the floor and opposed the motion. He said that the Indiana Academy of Science is known for Its accomplishments even in Europe and that its members work unselfishly for the advancement of science. Mr. Bohannon. of the committee on education, also opposed the motion. Mr. Vonnegut defended the $2,000 item. - "Mr. Stakebake spoke not only against the motion but against the bill. He said that If a copy were sent to him it would lie on the shelf unread, a statement that brought a quiet smil to the faces of the advanced minds of the House. Mr. Stutesman spoke In favor of a specific appropriation. Mr. Van Arsdel moved to amend Mr. Pettit's amendment so as to make the amount $1,000. . The previous question was called for by Mr. Holloway and the main question was ordered. Mr. Van Arsdel's amendment was defeated. Mr. Pettit's amendment was lost and he then moved to strike out the enacting clause. His speech trailed in on the lines of Mr. Stakebake's argument and Mr. Merritt was at last worked up to a high degree of earnestness in support of the bill. He deplored that when a bill for the advancement of science and encouragement of unselfish public work comes up, some one is always ready to play the economic role, but when a question of voting big salaries the economic remains silent without a whimper. Mr, Robinson moved to amend the motion to strike out the enacting clause by recommittig to the committee on education with . instructions to report a specific appropriation of $2,000. This other motion was defeated and Mr. Robinson's motion prevailed. The bill had a narrow escape, all due to the loose and indefinite phraseology. The bill really covered three years at $2,000 each. Bills came up on second reading, the first being Mr. Holloway's bill, providing for licensing engineers. Mr. Stakebake filed an amendment to make the terms of the bill apply to all engineers. Mr. Moore was given permission to point out defects of language regulating' the fee and the bill was referred back to the committee. MISIIAWAK A ORPHANS HOME. i mi-'- '' W" Ladle from the Home Make a Plea for an Extension of Its Benefits. The State Board of Charities has asked all persons or societies 'interested in the care of dependent children tb appear before the legislative committee having In charge the bill providing for the establishment of a State institution for the purpose. In com-, pliance with this request Mary Le Van, Mary Stute Studebaker, Maria C. Bogus and Elizabeth G. Kettrlng, representing the Children's Aid Society Of Indiana, which controls the Mishawaka Orphans Home, appeared before the , committee yesterday and made the following statement: , "Our attention has been called to. and our influence sought, iw favos of abill now pending before this Legislature,, by a circular letter sent out by the Board of State Charities; a bill providing for th establishment of a State school for dependent children. Not having seen the bill we weTe not in position to use our Influence intelligently for or against it. We have been requested to appear before your honorable committee with a brief statement of facts concerning the thirteen years' work of a voluntary society organized in the interest, of dependent children, known as the Children's Aid Society of Indiana, located at Mishawaka. ' " ' . ''This society receives the patronage" of nine counties, representing a population of 207,495, or about one-tenth of the population cf the State. The average cost of running the institution has been $2,858.05 pe annum, of $74.18 for - each child received and located, which -includes clothing, schooling and locating in homes in tamilies. An itemized statement of accounts with eacll county is rendered and allowed . by the County Commissioner quarterly.. "The purpose of this institution is' to place dependent children in good homes, the family life being the best and only natural

life for any child. Our plan in locating is to find out by our agents the ability of ap plicants for children to provide suitable care and training. Then when a child is placed, to reserve the right to recall it within five years for good reasons and -to maintain supervision over It during this time. Children remain In our home an average of six and seven-tenths months, which time would be greatly shortened were it not for the children who are ineligible for placing out because of sickness,: deformity and other causes. A school -carried on in the in.stitutiori under the ' supervision ; of the city superintendent, and all children of the proper age are provided with competent in-. structors. An important question to be considered is whether a voluntary-society or a board appointed by . the State will do the better woTk for the unfortunate. Were this plan adopted over the entire State the annual average cost would come within $30,000." The ladies were represented as being opposed to the proposed plan of Secretary Bicknell for the State home for indigent children for Which an appropriation of $100,000 has been asked from the Legislature. They did not, however, make; known their particular ' want in appearing before the committee. According to Mr. - Bicknell's figures, their plan costs less than the Michigan home after which it is proposed to model the Indiana home, but It was not demonstrated that the system f&t the same ratio of expense could, be applied to the whole State. .

Senator Houghton, chairman of the committee on elections, states that the taking of testmony by the committee in the FoustRlnear case has been practically completed. The committee went to the counties of Huntington and Wells, and examined a large number of witnesses. They found that paupers had been voted, and that the votes of insane people had been accepted. There had also been , irregular practices, such as failure to open the polls until 9 o'clock in the morning in at least one precincts Senator Houghton stated that the committee had not as yet canvassed the case, and he did not know how any member stood on the question of seating the contestant or sustaining the member In possessioa. Next Monday afternoon, at 1:30, has been set as the time for hearing the argument of counsel. The contestant will be represented by Hon. James B. Kenner and the defendant by Judge Whitelock, both pf Huntington. Why Senator Sehneelc Stayed. Here. , Senator Schneck did not accompany the prisons committee, of which he is a member, to Jeffer3onville, last evening. The reason of it is that he has an Interest in the Seymour woolen mills, which have a contract with the southern prison to furnish the material from which the suits of the convicts are made, and also for furnishing blankets. Senator Schneck states that the concern with which he ia connected has furnished supplies of this character for twenty years, and the contract under which tha mill is now operating was signed before Senator Schneck was nominated for the Senate. There is nothing in the law that forbiis Senator Schneck's factory from furnishing the supplies described, but he thought that good taste might dictate that he fehould not dccompany the committee to Jeffersonville, Grocer "Want Pare-, Food Law. The Wholesale Grocers' Association cf the State held a conference with the agricultural committee from the House yesterday evening. The meeting occurred in Room 120 of the Statehouse, The discussion, touched upon the pending pure food bill in which tha grocer are Interested.

It is provided that this fund shall not be used until the funds derived from the general fund of the State have been exhausted, and unexpended balances of the "supplemental tuition fund" shall not be paid 'into the State treasury. The effect of this bill. If it becomes a law, will be to evade the law passed two years ago, which required the payment of all unexpended school -balances In excess of $300 in the hands of township trustees into the State treasury. - Rate for Legal Advertising. -' Senator Schneck introduced a bill yesterday fixing legal rates for advertising. The rate proposed Is 50 cents per square v '."0,

ROBBED BY MVE MEN SOUTHERN PACIFIC TRAIN HELD UP. NEAR WILCOX, A. T., Express Safe Blown Open with Dynamite and Over 910,000 In Money. Taken. " ' '.' SAN FRANCISCa Jan. 3L The Southern Pacific west-bound train No 20 was held up six miles from Wilcox, A. T., last night, at 8:35 o'clock, by five masked men, who placed six dynamite cartridges under the safe and' blew it open. It contained $10,000 in Mexican silver, which was stolen. , Two of the bandits boarded the train, at Wilcox, and when two miles west of the town suddenly appeared in the cab of the engine with drawn pistols, compelling the engineer to Btop the train. While one of the robbers kept him covered the other made. the fireman and brakeman cut the express and mail cars loose from the remainder of the train. The engineer was then made to pull the two detached cars on for about two miles to a culvert, where two of the bandits were found holding horses for , the entire party. It was here that the safe was blown open, the men with the horses having brought the explosives. Six explosions were effected by the robbers before they felt satisfied with their work. The top and sides of the express car were thoroughly shattered, and the express company's safe was blown to pieces. Besides the $10,000 in Mexican money there Was a good deal of coin on the train which had been sent to pay the railroad employes along the line, and this was also carried off by the robberS, who rode away in a southerly direction. Grant Wheeler, a well-known Arizona desperado, ' who is believed to be the fifth member of the party, purchased a quantity of giant powder in Wilcox on the day preceedlng the robbery. The Southern Pacific company and Wells-Fargo Express Company offer a joint reward of $500 for each of the robbers. Four posses, including the sheriff, the Wells-Fargo and Southern Pacific detectives, are in pursuit of the bandits, Who are believed to be Joseph George who came into Arizona from Oklahoma about a year ago; Jim Yates, Grant Wheeler, a. man named Taylor and . John .Woods. , Over f50,000 Stolen. DEMING. N. M., Jan. 3L The Wilqox train robbery was conducted with the utmost boldness. After compelling the engineer to uncopule the engine, baggage and express cars from the remainder of the train and run five miles further up the road to a desolate spot, the robbers forced the' engineer and fireman to, leave the train and take to the plains on perii, of their lives. Express messenger Mitchell, who had a similar experience near Maricopa, a few months ago, made his escape with all the money in the local safe and saved several thousand dollars. The robbers spent over two hours in blowing open the large .s&fe, which is closed before leaving El Paso and is not opened until San Francisco Is reached. The robbers left several bags of gold and silver in and about the car, not caring to take it on account of Its weight. All are thought to have escaped to Mexico. The passengers on the train were greatly terrified for several hours. The loss Is said to be between $50,000 and $75,000. DEBS CONSPIRACY CASE. - Effort to Show that the Strikers Obs atrncted the Malls. CHICAGO, Jan. SI. The charges against Moses Avener, the Rock Island switchman who has been one of the codefendants with Debs in the conspiracy case, were dismissed by Judge Qrosscup to-day. The Court held that the evidence. against Avener was insufficient ito warrant further proceedings against him. The greater part of the day's session was taken up with the evidence of General Superintendent Dunlap,' of the Rock Island. To-iay the government eettled down to the presentation of proof of the commission of overt acts by some of the defendants. Most of the day was spent is weaving a network of evidence about James Merwin, charged with throwing a switch under the engine of passenger train No. 19 on the Rock Island road on the evening of June So, last, the train carrying at the time a number of mail pouches in a baggage car, which car was preceded by three Pullman coaches. The purpose of the defense in the crossexamination was directed to attempt to show that the mall pouches were p.aced in the baggage car with the intention of securing tne arrest of the strikers interfering for a violation, of the United States laws.' At the close of the examination of the last wkness Judge Grosscup announced that In the future he would allow but one counsel on the defense to cross-examine witnesses, as the interests of all the defendants were common. The purpose of the ruling was to expedite the progress of the trial. The government will conclude its side of the issue Monday. Evidence was given to the efi feet that Merwin threw the switch under the train, knowing It was carrying mail. on the stand that director Goodwin, of the American naiiway union, saia in nis nearing that it "would be a good thing to use dynamite to stop the traffic of some of the ror.ds." -f--------a---------M-M Twelve Moonshiner- Arrested.

DEBATE IN THE HOUSE

PACIFIC RAILWAY FUNDING BILL, DISCUSSED WITH VIGOR. Patnage of the Pooling- Bill Without Amendments Urged by the National Board of Trade. , WASHINGTON, Jan. SI. The House devoted six hours to the debate on the Pacific railroad funding bllV and. although the speeches on both sides were characterized by unusual earnestness, there were no marked sensational incidents.. Those who participated in the dicussion to-day were Messrs. Powers and Lockwood in favor of the measure, and Messrs. Boatner, Snodgrass and Cooper in opposition to it. After te House bad been called to order, bills were passed as follow: To adopt spe cial rules for the navigation of harbors. rivers and inland waters of the United States, supplementary to the act to adopt regulation to prevent collisions at sea; to fix the tlme! for holding District Court in North Dakota; for the relief of Dr. Fulford; for th6 relief, of the Glenmore Distilling Company, of Kentucky; for the relief of the First State Bank of Mound City, hi: ' v An attempt to pass a bill for the detail of fifty army officers to give military Instruc tions at high and . normal schools failed, f whereupon, under the terms of the special order adopted yesterday, the House went into committee of the whole and resumed consideration of the Pacific railroad funding bill. Mr. Harris completed the remarks gainst the bill which he began yesterday. His idea was that the property of the roads should be foreclosed and sold, and that the government Bhould enforce Its claim. By the expenditure of $40,000,000 the government could accept the roads and then, either by lease or directly, operate It., v Mr. Boatner, with a strong speech In opposition to the measure, called particular attention to the fact that the conspicuous feature of legislation proposed for settlement of the Pacific road debt has been an abandonment of the proceedings begun against the officers and directors of these companies under the act of 1873. In 1873 two members of the House had been expelled because they had been debauched by the emissaries of these roads. He was not opposed to the government ownership of the roads, but . he preferred to see his substitute passed providing for an amendment to the original act by which, in case of the default of the roads, the companies should forfeifc their charters. He was willing to see the government purchase the property to protect its interest, but only on condition that it should immediately be resold to private individuals. 'JDo you mean to say that the property is worth as much as the government's first mortgage debt?" asked Mr. Reilly. "I am inclined to think it is," replied Mr. Boatner; "but If It ia not you can rest assured that these railroad people will never discharge the debt if your bill is passed." Mr. Powers argued in favor of the passage of the bill, which, he said, would secure the payment to the government of $140,000,000. He denounced the methods employed by the onnonents of .the hill to enmnass its, defeat. The mail of members, he said, was gorged' with letters from certain persons and certain sections having particular grievances against the roads, or certain former officials of the roads, who were. correctly or incorrectly supposed to have profited enormously by their construction.' In response to a question. Mr. Powers said that if the mortgage of the government were foreclosed the property woulu cost the United States $180,000,000, and he expressed the opinion that the government would not, after the endless -litigation which would inevitably, follow, realize $10,000,000 from the property. ; . Mr. . Harris begged to remind the House that six years ago Jay Gould had offered $68,000,000 for the Union Pacific section alone. x k - iMr.' Lockwood closed the debate for the day in advocacy of the bill. He declared that the question of the alleged criminality of the original constructors and officials of the road had nothing to do with the merits of this bill, which, in his opinion, presented the best solution ever offered for the Pacific railroad problem.. At the conclusion of his remarks the House, at 5:10 p. m., adjourned till to-morrow at 11 a. m. - THE POOLING BILL. National Board of Trade Wonts It Passed Without Amendment. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. The committee appointed by the National Board of Trade to present to Congress the . . resolution adopted on . the pooling ill was at the Capitol to-day, and presented ' the ' board's resolution to Senators and members. The resolution Is as follows. J ' "Resolved, That in the judgment of the National Board of Trade, which represents the shippers and not the railroads of this country, the Patterson pooling bill will not abrogate legitimate -competition among the railroads, but will tend to Drevent uniust dis criminations and promote the interests of aa shippers who are satisfied with reasonable, uniform and stable rates; that the farrreachlng Influence of water transDortation has assured to this country much lower rates ror railroad transportation than are enjoyed by any other people in the world, and the evil to be guarded against at the present time is not high rates, but unjust discrimination and rates. Our members protested against amendments offered to this bill in the Interest of. the railroads when it was pending in the House on the ground that it was bad faith to seek such amendments to a measure agreed on at a. convention representing both mercantile and raiiroaa interests and these amendments were withdrawn.; for the same reason we deprecate further amendments in the Senate and respectfully but earnestly urge its adoption by that body." , The National Board of. Trade to-day adopted the report of the finance committee recommending that in case the present Congress fails to pass leglsla tlon to relieve the present financial situation the whole question be referred by Congress to a monetary commission. Resolutions were aiso aaoptea ravonng the enactment of a uniform trade-mark law; recommending that Congress accord to the Interstatecommerce Commission such amendment of the law and support as may best promote the efficiency of its supervision of railroads, and favoring the adoption of an American system of naval reserves. FOR PUBLISHERS OF "CUTS." Copyright Law to Be Amended' for . Benefit of Newspaper. - WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. Representative Covert to-day reported to the House, with amendment,- the bill providing that the total sum to be recovered in any action brought under Section 4965, Revised Statutes, relating to copyrights, shall not for any one infringement, issue or edition, exceed 'double the value of the painting,' drawing, article, object or thing Infringed on, copied, issued or edited in violation thereof. Accompanying this bill is an Interesting report in which- the committee says the provisions ; sought ) to be amended affect most injuriously the newspaper press. Under existing conditions a newspaper reproducing and publishing any copyrighted photograph forfeits the plates of such copy and $1 for every copy of the paper containing the photograph in its possession. Thus the whole circulation is embraced in the penalty. It has been held, says the report, that penalties may be exacted for copying a copyrighted picture, even when the fact of its being under cojvright does not appear on the original from which the copy is made. These conditions make it extremely hazardous for a newspaper to use illustrations in connection with the publication of news articles relating to current events. One of the great metropolitan journals, through arf oversight on the part of one of its employes, printed a picture of a pleasure yacht from a copyrighted photograph, the regular price of which, with the license to print, was $1. Suit !s now pending againnt the proprietors of the paper to recover $817,000, this being the total number of the papers in which the picture appeared. - As originally presented the report, says the bill. Provided solely for the relief of the newspaper publishers. The majority of the committee thought it only just and equitable that it should be broader in scope and, therefore, agreed to amend It. No substantial change In existing law is made, except to moderate the rigor of the penalties established. ; Extra Job for Voorhee. - WASHINGTON, "Jan. 31.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.rd?pre8en-tatlv Pattlson has reported to the' House the bill agreed on by the interstate and foreigncommerce committee to punish train wrecking. The object of the bill, says the ac- ' companying report, is to secure more effectively the punishment of train wrecking for the purpose of robbery. The committee believes the passage of the bill will not interfere with the Jurisdiction of the States courts in casks of crimes distributed therein because they are punishable at common law. To pass the bill will give increased security to life and property, and will greatly contribute to the suppression of the offenses complained of. i . Grand Rapids Lawyer Stricken. WASHINGTON.
