The lirst thing ithe Senate did in the morning was to ronsider its vote of Friday on the second, amendment to the bill. This amendment provided for the sale of St. Clair Park, and after it had been reconsidered, a motDn to retain the park was passed by a vpte of 2S to 17. The opponents of the art-indment, who were led by Senator Wood, tnade a hard tight to defeat the reconsldt-vation of the vote, but were clearly outgeneraled by Senator Joss, who led the other ' faction. The question came up on the motion of Senator Fleming to table the motion of Senator Wood, which called for a reconsideration of Friday's vote. The motion was defeated by a vote of 25 to 21. The question was then on reconsideration of the vote by which the Senate on Friday decided to sell St. Clair Park. The vote was reconsidered, 27 to 20. After a long and spirited debate. In which Senators Agnew, Burns, Crumbaker, and Wood urged the sale of the park and Senators Layman.

WOOD'S AMENDMENT. When the afternoon session convened Senator Wood, who was feeling somewhat sore over his defeat in the morning, offered an amendment providing that the grounds of the institution proper and the park be thrown together and fenced in with an ornamented fence. In explanation M his motion the senator from Tippecanoe said that those favoring the retention of S: Clair Park had used the argument in debate that it would not be right to deprive lue inmates or the Bund Institute of the pleasures of tlu park. In order that they might more thoroughly enjoy the benefits he had made a motion which would tot ever Insure them to the blind children of the Institute. The motion, aftrr uomo further th bate, war carried by a vote of 2! to' 9. Senator Joss next offered a motion to exclude the property of the Institution for the I leaf and Dumb from th provL-dnnn of the oriRinal bill. Senator Goodwine immediately offered n motion to table the motion of Senator Joss, but it was I.t by a vote of 10 to 2J. The main question was then put and the vote resulted In a th twenty-two of the senators casting their otes In favor of the sale of the Institution for the Deaf und twenty. two opposing It. At this palm- Senator Goodwine, who had been keeph a cioe tab on the it salt of the roll e.i.,1. believinj that the main question had L.m lot. moved that the absentee Ih excused from voting, and the motion b lug put by Piesldent Giltst, was carried.

The question of reconsidering the vote on Senator JosVs amendment w.is then put and carried by a vote of 23 to 2t. Thl. resulted in putting the entire question bark just where it had atarted when Senator Joss offered his motion to exclude the Institution for the Ieaf from the provisions of the bill, and the vote being taken r.n the main question again, for the seeon l time resulted in a tie twenty-three of the MUittorx voting "ave" end twenty-thru "io."

An interesting debate followed the motion to adjourn, but it was finally terminated by the chair, who announced that the motion to adjourn was not well taken. In the r.uantime, while the debate on the motion tu adjourn was in progress Senator Lindls, who had voted "no" on the main question, cam forward to the clerk's dek i.nd announced thnt h wished to change

his vote from "no" to "aye." President ' uiiDert then announced that Senator joss s motion, which provides for the retention of the Institution for the Deaf, had been carried by a vote of twenty-four to twentytwo.

The motion was carried without opposition. The bill introduced by Senator Guthrie providing for the establishment of a State laboratory of hygiene In tills city, which was pasted by a small majority Friday afternoon, was reconsidered by the Senate yesterday morning, and after being amended so us to cut in half the appropriation of 510.0jO for the annual maintenance of the laboratory, was passed by the Senate for the second time. The reconsideration was the result of a hard right made against The bill by Senator Wood, seconded by Senator Ball and Senator Parks. When the vote was taken on its final passage Senator Guthrie, who introduced the bill, was absent from the chamber. He was sent for by President Gilbert and when he returned he voted against the passage of the bill, saying In explanation that ne had been deceived in it. IIOrSE PHOCEEDIXGS. The Governor Vetoes Two II III A Henry Legislative Grind. A feature of the House proceedings yesterday was a message from the Governor in the afternoon relating to House bills No. 208 and No. 232, which the chief executive returned with his disapproval. House till No. 20S was introduced by Mr. Horsfield and related to proceedings cf the Board of Commissioners of Owen county, legalizing the construction of a gravel road and' the sale of bonds to build the same. The Governor In his message said he was opposed to the issue of bonds above the limit fixed by statute and no sufficient reason has been shown, he said, why the particular township in which this road was to be built should be burdened with a debt equaling 6 per cent, of the gross value of all property in the township when every other township in Indiana is limited to 4 per cent for such indebtedness. The other bill vetoed by the Governor was introduced by Representative Mummert, and repeals a number of sections of the act to establish a state library board and provided for the administration of the library. "All these provisions," the Governor said in his veto, "guard and protect the library and have been in fore: many years. These provisions of law carefully guard the library, which has corne to be very valuable and some of the books exceedingly rare. These safeguards thrown around the library ought not to be re moved. FIRE MARSHAL BILL DEFEATED. The morning session of the House was opened with prayer by Rev. W. A. Quayle, of the Meridian-street M. E. Church. Representative Mummert's bill creating the ollice of state fire marshal came up again on a motion to reconsider the vote taken on the bill a day or two ago. The bill had failed for lack of a constitutional majority. The motion to reconsider the vote was succtsstui ana the diu was again placed on its passage. It was defeated by a vote of 32 to G2. Representative Minturn introduced a bill similar to the one introduced in the Senate r.everal days ago by Senator Joss, to enable the city oi Indianapolis to purchase the water works.

The House, under a suspension of rules, passed a bill introduced by Representative John providing an appropriation for taking care of the grave of the mother of Abraham Lincoln, in Spencer county. The original appropriation provided by the bill was $15,(KX, but the ways and means committee reduced the amount to $2,000. Mr. John amended the bill by changing the amount to $3,000, and in this form the bill passed. Representatives Stutosman, Perrett, Davis, Alrhart and Stout spoke In favor of the amendment. The bill passed bv a vote of 73 to 4. "Representative Burrier's bill relating to the holding of elections to vote railroad subsidies was killed, the enacting clause being stricken out cn motion of Representative Spark?. The bill was rendered practically worthless as far as serving the purposes which the author intended when it was on second reading. The House concurred In the Senate amendment to House bill No. 1:, by Mr. Klrkman, regulating the taking of fish from the waters of the State. One cf the changes made in the bill by the Senate was the elimination of the emergency clause. The amendments were of a minor character. BONHAM SALARY BILI. Representative Bonham's bill, which, in Its original form, was Introduced with a view to equalizing the salaries of state officers, was passed. In its present form it only affects the salaries of the Supreme and Appellate Court judges. It increases the salary of the Supreme Court Judges to $:.0f0 a year and the Appellate judges to $.rK. The bill passed by a vote of 51 to 32. Mr. Prltchard's bill providing witness fees for peace c Ulcers In criminal cases was also passed, and Representative May's bill relating to road supervisors was successful.

House bill No. nr7. by Mr. Miller, of Kosciusko c- unty, providing that county clerks and sheriffs shall receive their salaries quarterly from the .county treasurer, whether or not they have collected sulllclent fees to make up the amounts due them, was passed by a vote of M to S. The House also passed Representative Neal's bill relating to uppeals to the Supremo and Appellate courts, from the Circuit, Superior and Criminal courts. MR. KIRKMAN S BILL. The House declined to concur in the Senate amendment to House bill No. W, by Mr. Klrkman. The bill concerns the organization and perpetuity of voluntary associations, etc. Tho author of the bill says the amendment would have a tendency to discourage the organization of legitimate corporations. He stated to the House that the author of th amendment had said to him that, at the time the amendment was added, he did not really appreciate what Its fleet would be. The chair appointed Mr. Klrkman and Mr. Slack a committee to meet with a like committee fron the Senate for the purpose of deciding what disposition to make of the amendment. House bill No. 521, Introduced by Representative Stutesman. at the request of tlu auditor of state, was p.u.sed without a dissenting vote.

The bill was killed, last week, after It had been amended to tho effect that the death penalty ehould be administered with morphine. A MAJORITY LACKING. There was a long argument over Mr. Burrier's bill, which madd it th duty of county surveyors to take charge of the work cf cbanin ditches Instead cf tornBhlp trctcca. 'The bill failed for bcl: cf

a constitutional majority, the vote being 37 to 27. A motion submitted by Representative Morgan to the effect that the Governor be asked to return House bill No. 316 for correction was adopted. This is the bill that placed the Marion county surveyor on a salary of J2.NU0. Since the bill was passed It has been decided that the salary i too princely for the surveyor and it will be reduced. It wa3 understood that the Governor would decline to sign the bill. Representative Roberts, of Jefferson, moved that the Jte by which Senator Goodwine's bill, "concerning the education of children." was passed to third reading be reconsidered.

Xewspnper Comment Hnetl on It Annoyed the Representative. Representative Murphy, a member of the House minority, introduced a bill yesterday morning which excited some comment on account of its title. It is entitled "A bill for an act authorizing certain railroad companies to lease or purchase other roads and to connect and consolidate railroads, providing for the formation of consolidated railroad companies and prohibiting the purchase, lease or consolidation of competing and parallel lines of railroads." Mr. Murphy was one of th" supporters of the Joo.s railroad consolidation bill, which was vetotd by the Governor. He was somewhat annoyed yesterday at an Intimation that his bill was the Joss bill in a new guise. Mr. Murphy said yesterday he would allow the bill to take its course and will not attempt to have the bill passed out of the regular order. Governor Siblin Dills.

Stories Picked Up In the Corridor of the Cnpltol. "Oratory in the Indiana House of Representatives" was the subject of an interesting talk made privately by Representative Edward E. Neal, of Noblesville, recently. "This session of the Legislature," said Mr. Neal, "has been enlivened by several exciting scenes and a number of interesting debates have been held and strong arguments made. There have not, however, been many really brilliant speeches, for the very excellent reason that too many matters have come up for consideration to enable the members to give each and all of them careful consideration. Mr. Stutesman, from Peru, is among tho foremost orators of the House. Edward S. Roberts, of Madison, Ind., has attracted a great deal of favorable attention by his speeches, which are always forcible, couched In excellent diction and usually very much to the point. At the Columbia Club smoker a few evenings ago, Mr. Roberts and Mr. Reser fairly divided honors with the orators from the club and the Senate. Prominent parts in discussions in the House have been taken by Representatives Van Fleet, Bonham, Stoofcy, Scott and Whltcomb. On the Democratic side there ?re several speakers of more than ordinary ability, each possessing some point of excellence. Cyrus E. Davis, lender of the minority, is always expected to make an interesting address when he demands recognition for the purpose of speaking to a measure. Representative James has such a persuasive manner in his oratory that he frequently carries with him a good part of the Republican members. Slack and Scifers argue a question pertinently and well. Cox made a good speech in favor of the Columbus hospital bill, but was not able to gain his point. Mr. Cravens has the reputation of being an excellent talker, but thus far in the session has been remarkably quiet. Horsfield, who is an Englishman, always receives careful consideration when he speaks, since, aside from his good Ideas, his accent compels careful attention in order to grasp his meaning." XXX A voice was raised in behalf of free silver in the House yesterday. Representative Scifers came over to Representative Stutesman's desk Just after he had read in a newspaper that his colleague. Mr. Alrhart, was once the Republican candidate for senator in his district. "Did you know that Alrhart had ever been a Renubllean." said Mr. Scifers. "No, I did not' replied Mr. Stutesman. "I guess h must have been one of our fellows who went wrong on the silver question in ISO." "I expect he did take the right road on that issue," retorted Mr. Scifers. He did not, however, press the matter, for Representative Stutesman is known to be well posted on the financial question. XXX A good story. In which Senator Kittinger figures, is going the rounds of the Senate. As is well known, the senator from Madison county is bitterly opposed to the bill legalizing acts of towTn boards since the year ISsl. A few days ago a book agent oamo and sat down by the side of Senator Kittinger and said: "Mr. Kittinger, I wish you would withdraw your opposition to that bill to legalize acts of town boards." "And why should I do that?" demanded Mr. Kittinger sharply. "Oh. because," replied the vendor of books, "I have a prom--o from a member of the-House that if I get you to quit fighting that bill he will buy one of my books." Senator Kittinger told a brother senator about the incident shortly afterwards, and ejaculated, "Did you ever . hear of anything to beat that for nerve?" XXX Representative Stutesman was looking over a lot of letters on his desk yesterday afternoon and suddenly broke into song. He was at once assailed with cries of "O cut it out!" "Do you have those spells often?" and the like. He silenced his critics by hurling at them, "I guess I am not a Singer. I must be a light-running Domestic." Ill THE LOCAL COURTS. Samuel MurLouIi Sties for $2,000 Other Court Cases. Samuel Markowitz yesterday brought suit against Pearl A. Havellck and others for $2.00) damages. Markowltz keeps a secondhand store at 413 Massachusetts avenue.

He lost the use of his store for three months, when the walls of the building he occupied were strengthened by the new building and he moved back. For the loss of time and damage Jone to his stock lie asks the court to allow him damages. Police Court Cnnen. In Police Court, yesterday, Harry Collins, colored, was fined S300 and costs and sen tenced to tho workhouse for ISO days for the theft, of a watch and for assaulting Mrs. Fanny Fowler, of &2X North Pennsylvania sireei, ny wimm ne was employed as waiter.

A remarkable story of male imj.ersonatlon was revealed In a police court here to-day In connection with an arrest for alleged money frau Is. The prisoner, named Catherine Combe, aged sixty-six years, described as a house decorator, appeared in the docket in male attire,. For forty years Catherine impersonated a man and worked on board peninsula and Oriental steamers In various enpa.MtivM, and also for London firms. She says ?he was married at ilfteen, then taught school and then thought there were bettor cliances as a man. Eventually she married a lady's maid, with whom she lived for fifteen years. 0THEE LEGISLATURES. Conrad made further gains In the Montana contest for senator yesterday.

The Missouri House has passed a bill punishing kidnaping by death or Imprisonment for not less than five years in the penitentiary. The Senate has passed a bill making the penalty for this crime one hundred years Imprisonment, and it Is now pending in the House. A novel and drastic nonresident divorce law was proposed yesterday by Senator Lord, in the Minnesota Legislature. It provides that no person can go to that State and secure a divorce for causes which would not hold in his own Str.te; he must have been a bona fido resident of the State for one year; the papers must be served on the respondent personally and the proceedings must be in open court. Representative Haughland and Senator Halvorson yesterday introduced In th two houses of tho Minnesota Legislature a most sweeping antl-bllnd-plg measure. It prohibits so-called "blind pigs." "cold storage houses," "clubrooms nnd other places and devices for keeping, selling or using intoxicating liquors contrary to law; seeks to abolish the practice of handling Intoxicating Hauor under false nnd lictltlouri l.ames, and to effect the confiscation of intoxicating liquor unlawfully handled, together with tho appliances used In such unlawful handling of Intoxicating liquors. Appendicitis Is the Grip Localized." "Appendicitis is but localization of the grip affecting tho intestines, and often the appendix itself; the symptoms of grip and appendicitis are coincident.'' This statement was made by Dr. Lucas Championniere, In a paper read yesterday before tho clinic of the Academy of Medicine In Taris. There Is a seasonable lenten warning in his assertion that while the grip often attacks the throat or ear, yet In tho case of a patient who has been an excessive eater of fresh meat, the disease almost invariably localizes In the intestines, near the appendix, or in the organ itself, producing acute appendicitis. The savant omits to say that the greatest danger lies in the unskillfully treated and Imperfectly cured cases. Prevent tho grip and escape appendicitis by using Dr. Humphreys' "Seventy-sev en, lni um)' Miuwii jic-rui.ivo una cure i for the grip, while its tonicity sustains the system during and after the attack. "77" breaks up colds that hang on At all drug stores, 23 cents, or mailed. rocket manual mailed free. Humphreys' Ilcmcepathte flZzZ:zti Company, ccrr.sr VKüzra Cz ":;h r- -
