Mr. McINTOSH made an ine.'lectaal motion yeai, KJ; nays, l'J; to lay this motion en lie table, The xiiotion to f.ie up the bill was agreed to. 0:i motion ly Mr. BAILEY the report of the majority of the committee was conturr j m yeas, 22; nays, -'J. Mr. DAVIS, in expla'ning h!s TOle, said: Tue till throws down the doors for aalomkt per to eell Dqncr whenever they please frSfr-tt upon Sundays and flection "days. I us vol in f.or t-f uch liberal provisions fcr the cale of intoxicating liquors. I vole "no." Mr. McINTOSH: I ana oppel to the yauage of this bill and therefore opposed to the report of the committee. I am perfectly surprised at the votes that ara beinc rait in tLe Senate. Is it possible that the raloon keep ers of Indianapolis and Eransville can put a rinr in the rose of the Democratic Senators in th;s Indiana Senate and n.ake them vote what thty want? Is it posiible tint memhers who, a few days ao, voted to lay thit tili tjpon Lhe labia now csnie here within to days of tbe end of the e5ion and chants their votta and brin the bill tack and takt i.ponrticce? In the name of my constituents I protest against this measure and vote no." THOMPSON: The travelling public romin? in t late hoar9of the night after the betels L;vi been clofed noaid be beneflted ty the extention cf the t'm of clodins talccns until 12 c'cluc Mr assac'a'e t-.cator (Mr. Bailey) h-.i looted into th'a i; atter by day and niht and he fays the tiRvtllinjf public demand lt. I vote "aye " Mr. MAGEE: Two years ao I was not in favor of the Metropolitan Police bill, bat I 1 avt If en persuaded that is the right kind c legislation. We have got tn have an ail itr;iry hour for closing up the saloons eny way, and I think 11 o'clock is a good 1 uur. Kartetly I don't believe that this law cnght to be interferad with. The law timp y applies to Indianapolis an3 Evansvilie; if it was general there might be some i:ueition. Iam opposed to any change. J vote no." Mr.lllLLIGAS3: If this proposition was to apply generally I should oppese it, and ir.ce it is special I will oppose it. If such a )kw would be g)od in Indianapolis nad Kvacsville it would be good in my town. I do not think it would be good in my town. I am opposed to taking up so much time in this kind of legislation. 1 vote "no." The vote was announced as above. Fo the report was concurred in. Mr. DAI LEY moved that the bill be engrossed. I submit that it is simply a police regulation thit has fixed the hour of closing lalocns in Indianapolis for the past two yesrs. The statute upon this subject is not regarded. The saloons have not any partic n ar hour for closing. It seems tj me na iVr that Senators from another district! tj-cu!d come heie and vote for legislation r.rjuit to thia large city. The whole comiwtnity were well pleased with the police r-cu.'atlcn closing the saloons at 12 o'clcck. (if f or two papers objected to it on the gronLd that it was a police regulation instead cf a it&tute lavr. Therefore we are teekirgby this bill to maks the law conform to tee demands of the traveling public , ard the peop'e of this city. Indianapolis is th Capital city of the State, and there are a ltr j: number of respectable people on the fctret after 11 o'clock at night. Mr. OVERSTKEKT: I want tj repel the (lander that Is attempted to be perpetra'ed rprn the traveling public of this S'are. The idia that there is a necessity after 11 o'clock at i.icM for men to have access to a saloon i?ht'sard. The bill is fcr the ac:ommodat:cii c: the saloons. It wonld indeed be suance if a person could not procure in Indian&ijclig, after 11 o'clock at nignt, a sindvcirh without going to a saloon. I do hop tr.d pray that the senior Senator from Marion will not summier his manhood to the sa'oon-keer eis. Mr. THOMPSON: WcwoaMnot bodoirg try violence by voting to allow the saloona 1 th:s city to remain open until 12 o'clock. I Lave ccme to the opm'on. that teoiperauc? i to te established in ths family c;rcle. in ti e Church end ianday-chool, and not br inw. I have a horror of cstabiishicg religioh 1 v J;:x. "Mr. WINTER: The only c:a?j of people that is demanding the passage of ih;f bill is the saloon penple and a small clasro? ward joliticlacs. I know the sentiments of the tetter cless of Democrats and Republicans cf tniscity, and they are opposed to iL Ic is for political success tliat ttiese small fry p jliTiciacs court the ealcOQ vote. There is no tntiI:ent whatever among either Damo:rata cr lit j ubiicafcs fcr a change in the present 'aw. In en (esrly day cl this sessicn there ai;e before this Senate a memorial cf the I Störs cf this city asking that trie law in reard to saloon closing be set changed. Id 1 v7" the alecn-keepera fixed the hoar to f : m at 11 o'clock, and tnere Is no occasion la n tke the hear later. Mr. CAMPBELL, of Ft. Joseph, moved to Indefinitely postpone tbe biiL Mr. RAHM: The Rcpablicsn Senators fill vote straight ahead for temperance. So far as I know, everybody ig satisfied with the I ill. I am fc re to defend the rights of the citizens, and I intend to do so by voting for the bill. It is not fair that a man should tcthaye the right ta drink from 11 to 12 c'r leck. It i not tbe saloon-keepers and rummers in Evaneviile aicse that demand lh:i charge.

It motion to iD(?eßnite'y poitpar.e wai tprtd to by yen J I, nT 1 i Mr. JOHNSON, of Tlp;ctno, In etplalnIrg his vote laid: While my ouaty Is not Intercittd In this b;l yet I am opposed to the motion to Indefinitely postpone. In iraall cities life ii ebbing away at U or 10 o'clock, while at Indianapolis life it Jest commencing. I don t think the Benate wonld commit any mistake in passing this bill. I believe the metropolitan character of tbe city of Indianapolis would justify the eiter ding of the hour until l'J o'clock Mr. BH1YKLY. when his name was called.

aid: While I am in principle opposed to.' the propotitioa of the bill, yet as it is lccil ' in Ita character and es a majority of the Senatora representing tues localities appear to be anxiCQS for its puuge, I vote against tbe motion to indefinitely j-ostpone. 1 vote "no." The vote wai then announced as Above. Fo the bill was indefinitely poitpaned. On motion of Mr. Il.ULDY, the Constltntion rnle was snspended. and the bill H. 271 prohlbltir.2; the manufacture and sale of citomargarine wa read the iccond time. Mr. FOITLK E: I think we ouht to hear freni some physicians ai to whether thce articles are injurious. I think there ought to te a provision that a man could sell oleomargarine as oleomargarine it he desired. If it is not injnrlotu, and a man desires to use it In his family, he ouht to be allowed to do to. Mr. IIA I LEY: This bill was copied from the law in New York It was benencial to tcth consumers and manufacturer. This hill Ja intended to stop an imposition upon the bearding public. If wo simply tay that Lothirg hut genuine butter can be sold, it will te what the poople demand. Mr. CAMPDELL, of 8t. Je?ph: I cm hardly see how any lax could ho passed to prohibit the tale cf anything unless it wa? tbc.vn to be injurious. Mr. OYEKtjiKEEr: As I am in favor of prohibiting the 9ale of anything that 1 injuriout -te it whisky or oleomoriine I am in favor of this bill. Mr. CAMPBELL: As no date has been given shewing that thu was irjarious, and rr.t knowirg wheter it is injurious or not, 1 will vote "no " The bill rested by yeas i', nays AFTKUNOON SESSION. t 1 OA N AMI l.ni.MS AÜS0CUTI0NS. Tbe bill LH. IL -"'' to provide for building, loan fund and livings associations com ii g up as a special order Mr. McINTOSH called attention to a proviso in fc'eciiori 1, which sceuis to decUra fjiMted n emy paid in because th whole (i.ttcription Is not paid in; also, ia .Section IJ. Movidirg for further forfeitures. M. MAfiKE underitood Section I to mean -that the r.miey t.tid in was to be held ai a sort of ifcnrity for the payment of insta'lmeuts', but did no: think a forfeiture woald work witboot proreedins in a co-rt ol ci:npete nt juiisdiction. Mr. CAMPBELL, of fct.Josepb: This bill cotnea under aln;ot all ohjeetton lo a u-aary bill; besides, preferred stocfeholderj may hold !1 per cent, of the etjek. Then thfso iorfCtatiCE8 may nold n I most unlimited property A etirory glar.ee at the hUl iudlates that it should rt-ceivn a careful onfideia'ion. Ths seerns to be, boi!d dox :i, viciem If izif latlon. iMr. I1ILLIGAS3: There is astm'Urlt on our Metnte books, commencing with Section 3, 107 of th co le. This hill giv-; a greater latitude than the prnt law. There can be no forf'tnro excDt by a borrower. The hill give the association the right to loan to cutsidprs, ;id1 dees not interfere with the Jaw as it now stand. He had known rcauv men ti accjuire homes with the aid of these associations by paying bat a little mere thn rent would rost for live, six or eeven years. There ran ba miniistice growing out of this bill, but it would hi productive of gnrd. Mr. DAVIS: I am very strocgly in fjivor of the building and loin association lav a? it f tar cs. Tnis hill Is not subject to the criticiem inede by the Senator from St. S)sph. The se associations never charge more interost than the law allows Dut there are such seriors cbjfcticns toth's bill I can not support i. It proposes pome radical change?, tj which I am opposed. The section proposing to mate preferred stockholders ia all wrong. There also are objections to Sectioa I Mr. OVERS TRKET: It is said thepr?ant Jaw has worked well aod done much eood; then why not leave it alone? This bill prescribes that no premiums shall be deemed usurious. It is a dangerous bill, and ought not to paf s Mr. WINTER has been a manager of a Building Association for many years, and by the aid of such associations many have acquired homes who otherwise would not have homes. This bill is an Insidious eilort to convert such associations from their legitimate purposes by allowing tha managers to reap a rich harvest from outside -s. There Is no wrong about it under tha present lafv, but this bill would allow nsuriom interest of the worst kind. As now operated they may be called the poor man's biu'c. Under this bfll a small minority of the stockholders would have all the profits, with bit few exceptions. The bill was rejected by yeas 7, nays Z. HIGinVAY OtsTRfCTIONS. On motiou by Mr. McCLURE the bill H. K 11 in relation to the removal of obstructions from public highways, was read tfce second time and passed und?r a dispemation of the constitutional rule by aje and nay vole, and finally pa?3ed by je 37, ceys 0. II II MMi AM) JON ASSOCIATIONS. The bill 3. R löij for th inc irporation cl buitdlcg, loan fund and saving association1, a special order, ws real th3 thirJ i n e. Mr. BAILEY: There has been no law upon our statute books that ha3 djue o much for the welfare of the people a? this law. They encourage people to save t'ooir eernirg. In thi3 city these associations hsve become mere and more popular. Taey have built up hundreds of homea. Taey armansfcfd so economically that the percentegecf losses is exceedircly small. There would be r.o danger of making a continuous afcc aiion. These ssicciatiohs luve hid an influence in lowering the rate of interest. Lcscs to persons outside of the associations have teen allowed under the present law. Mcstcf tbe ascclations receive r.nly pr cent., while the law allocs them s per c?nt Mr. CAMPRELL, cf St. Joseph: As this bill now stands it is, in my wind, subject to Meat crit'eism. I fee in it only a scbems to rpsnize a corporation, with the pover to htve a million of dollars of st:cfe. and under tbe name cf premiums Joan it at a usurious rate cf interest, as it provides that loins may be made not only to stockholder?, but to these cutside. and premiums crbonus be taten ts consideration for such Icaisbe'ng granted. There is no reason why euch power vt usury should be given to these associations any more thaa that Each privilf.j shculd be given to savings bank. As the bill x:cw B'ar.ds it is vicious and daneroaa Mr. DAVIS: 1 .ielieve the question ha? b n fully d-ecntsed. Tbe Supreme Court of Pennsylvania hps decided that taking premium for priority cf loans is not usury. It has teen decided "this way in Indiana. The workings of these associations have been bnerleial. The objectiou of their being" associations with larpe capital is not valid, when we understand that the funds of the associations aie put out in mortgages, samll loaas, etc. Mr. WINTER: The contemplation of thee eiteciatiet U that, at rst, the :i:an who

tefp rccr.ey frcm the aocUtion pvi a blgi rate of intereit, bat atterftanli he rectivct a hltrb rale c f lntret fr ni tbe otler borrowers: hence it would not be usurious. I'r.drr the preient law tLc cat not loan their monay to outsiders. This bill provides that when the association can not loan to any of their numbers they can loan to outsiders at the legal rate of Interest. This bill hai ben recarrmended by 2VJ loan awoclations of the State. The only capital the associations ever have is tbe weekly dues upon their shares. This bill provides that the loans shall only be at the lczal contrast rate. Tbe proTislons In the existing law In regard to holdin,; proicrty is not changed. Members desire some time to take oat shares in favor cf their children. We hive no saving backs; our lavs proved an utter failure in regard to them. Thesn associations ac aseavlnra banks. Mr. EODLKE, by consent, amended the hill to that loans to outsiders shall not bs at ruore thtn tl legal rate. Mr. RA I LEY: I am eatht'ed that the only purpcte of this bill woald be to make stra'ght leans. Mr. THOMPSON: I believe tho tp'rt cf fairness has always been exercised in these sttociations. None of the. members of the associations have spoken against them. Mr. CAMPBELL, of St. Joseph: Since the bill is amended so that loans to those who are net btcckho'.ders Khali not be at more than leal rates, aud with no premiums, the great objection which I sir Jr. the hill if largely removed. The bill pushed by yeas 3S, nays 0. THE VI Ml I A II i.i .

The motion was rejected. On motion cf Mr. DAVIS it ivis orJerp.l that the i!. cyanic be spread at lar,;e ujju the journals. Mr WINTER: I think the Constitution dccH not c -ntemn'ate immediate action upon a yeto. I Heads. Mr. WILL ARD moved the Senale take up the consideration of the Governor's veto and demanded the previous question. The demand was seconded by the San ate. aud under its operations tho motiou was 8!rff d to by vras ill. navs 20. Mr. FOCLKE believed the objsctionsof the Governor would have weight with the Senate, and thr ; rc er way to treat the message is to refer tb - l- 'l o the Judiciary Committee, and he n nd tha. motiou. Mr. WILLI IV: u.s's ed the previous question Ot-a to tin- jueition ' sha1! tbe bill p93 the ohjectiuns oi the Oovernor lo the contrery." Tne PRESIDINO OFFICER (Mr. McCuliccgh in the chair) decided that tbe operation of the previous ::e&tio:i lud been extaust d. Mr. SMITH, of Jenuings objecieil to the biil limine uferiid to the Judiciary Committee. We can do an honorable, service by sustain

I demand the previous qnestiori. Tbe demand was seconded by the ?ena'e and ender its operation the motion to rfer was rejected by yeas 10, nays -''i. The Senate sustained the vote of the Governor by yeu 5, nays 3. Mr. CAMPBELL, o: Hendricks, whoa hit name was called, said: I voted for this bill believing that in a certain emergency D. wna!ddo great Fervice in preserving tha peace. I urdersioid that the bill hadbeea prepared by those competent and interestel in tbe measure, and had no reason to do iot its constitutionality. I gave little attention to the detail; the main provision of tin bill was all I nad in mind. I am constrained to believe and do hslieve that the Governor's objections r valid, and that certain parts of the bill ore unconstitutional. While I voted to reter the bill to the Judiciary Committee, I am not prepare! to vote for the bill. I vote "no." Mr. JOHNSON, of Tippecanoe, in explanation ot his voe, said: I was in favor of the passage of this bill, but, believing the obiecticni of the Governor valid. I vote "no." Mr. MARSHALL: I vctei for the bill, believing it to be a just one and believing that the people cf the State desired that the militia of our State should stand al ,n side of the militia of Ohio and Illinois. I suppose, however, the Governor ha9 examined the constitutionality of the bill very closely, and should be compitent to jude. I vote "no." Mr. OVERSTUEET: The Democratic Senators cn this door, who were the especial champions of the bill, seem to abandon it in Ps time of need. I do not knor wacher it is a constitutional measure or no:, hat as I give a great deal of weight to the opinions of the Governor. I vote "no." 22Mr. WILLARI), when his nante was called, said: I am still in favor of a ooi militia, and 1 ho only reason that I now vote against the passing of the bill over the Governor's veto ia that I believe the present biil unconstitutional. I vote "no." Mr. WINTER: The hill Is a very Iengtbr one, and there was no discussion of its provisions in detail I think the Governor's ob jections are well taken, and as we have no right to pass an unconstitutional law, I vote "no." Mr. YOl'CHE: I vote ! tor this bill on its passage, and should a proper militia bili be brought up, I should vote for it. The arguments of tho Governor are insuperable, a id I feel it is my duty to vute against the bill. I vote "no." The vcte was then announced as above.

The bill 3. ;i to regulate the terms of cthce cf County Commissioners was called up by Mr. Reiter and passed yeas, ; nays, . JOHN MKTIN's CLAIM. Mr. HELMS called up Mr. Pendleton's bill H. R. ICl to alio?? Jena Martin a claim cf

fvy w. for brick work done on the Asylum for the It.tane. Mr. WILLIAMS opposed the claim. He did not believe that the rt'ato owed the money to Martin. There is no testimony to show that this claim I a just one. It has been slid here that the reason that this should be paid wm that a warrant had once been drawn for it. Thit warrant was issuei under Governor Williams. John Martin's ßrt claim was not for slV 000 bnt f 10.UW. He rim presented his claim for ?lC,0u), which was refused; he then eecured a warrant by a mandate. A compromise wa finally made between Oovernor irtrr and Mr. Martin, aod the suit was dismissed. This claim has been befare the Cienerrl Assembly acveral times, and has never ytt been reported upon favorably. His first claim was $10.000. but since the death of Architect May h pats it at a much higher liure. A pe:uliar thjag In the history of tbe claim is that two yearn ego, Governor 1'orter dI'vetn his tuefe in this Hocso recommended this claim, apparently rea ling from his nuncscript, but whtn thla message was printed that part v.a3 omitted from print, and it was ntver printed, though once ordered. After that claim was defeated, and when the spec'flc Appropriation bill wai on its passabel, au attempt wa male to Insert ths claim in it, but this was defeated. The same thing was tried in the Senate. My judgment is t'at if this claim for extra work is correct it wonld hsve so been decided lücg ago. It is shown that Martin had many contracts on hand, and was e impelled to burrow money. Had hia claim been just he would have scored the mocey due mm at once, and not s ept under it. Mr. DROWN LEE: I hops the time will soon come when there will be other means of a man securinc i aims against too State tt an here. It a man lias a claim he must give it attention, and thus ho bringidown on hia head the criticism of a loboyUL 1 was a member of the sub committee to examine witnesses re'a'ive to this claim, ad after ai impartial ard thorough Jnvestijation 1 must say that I believe that tho c'a!m is just. Long before Governor Ptrter became a member of this Insane Hospital Board, the tnerr hers of it then favored it. It is a stracge thicg to me that a single voice in this Leg'.&lature should b raised against the payment of an honest debt. It ts the truth that Martin's fust claim was $7' 000. but it has been cat down toSPi.OOO. John Martin had a contract in writing, signed by Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks and other members cf the Insane Hospital Board. It is no in aginary bill, but :s for work actually done. Mr. GORDON : I occupy an oppo3ite positiou ou thi from whit I "did tvo years ago The gentleman from Knox (Mr. Williams) hes referred to me. It was said to me this morning that if I would withdraw my in.ent'u ent3 to the May c aim that the genilrii.an from Knox would not speak against this claim. Mr. WILLIAMS: And it was said tome this monitor that if I would withdraw my opposition t the Martin claim the gentleman from Putnam (Mr. Gordon) would not oppose the Msv ciaim. The SPEAKER: This is not the question 'iinler discussion. Honors are even. The gentleman from Pntuam will proceed. Mr. GORDON: The reason why I opposed his claim two years ago wai because I understand the contract was changed. The committee found that there had bien an authorized measurement of that contract. Tne committee believes that tb.fi claim i" jnsr. The contract was squarely mada, and lhe bill should ha paid. Mr. PATTEN: I hr.vc been entertained oy the learned gentleman from Putnam ( Mr. Jordon) , We have been traveling alony; together for eome time, but we have corns to a parting plana in the road. I do not h?l;eve

that this c'aim is just I believe like the gentleman from Pdtuam did two years ago. This inver-ticatiou did not go far enou'h back Into the records as I hopsd that it would. They have not examined it upon the merits of ths CA5-. This contrast la not, as claimed, a suuVient guaranty of the claim. You see this is written in a bold hand, and afterward interlined with a fine hand. I do not believe that the Provincial Board, when this coutra:t waR signed, knew an thing cf th?se changes. They say these char ges were made by EJwin May but they never made that claim until he was dead and gore. He was always opposed to this. Mr. BROWNING: If I thought that the State owed John Martin one cent I would vote cheerfully for this claim. But I do not beheve that the State owes him a cent. The friends of the claim say that Governor Porter and others think the claim is jQ6t. Suppose they do. Does that make it so? If it is auch an upright and honest claim, why did not Governor Porter, when he wai in oUice, take steps to have It paid? Mr. MOODY: I have no apology to offer for voting for this claim. Tjvo years ago 1 made a thorough examination of this and found it to be wn&t 1 believe a just claim. Because the claim is old is no proof against it. It was squarely agreed by the Slate that if tbe puiis against the State were dismissed the claims would be paid. Where did the authori'y come from that Governor Williams said the State did not owe this? Mr. BROWNING: John W. Graham told me that he heard Governor Williams say it. Mr. MOODY: So it is all hearsay testimonj ? Are you going to rely on that? Are you going home to your constituents with that eort of evidence'.' Even the gentlemen oppos.ee to this ciaim say that Joan Martin in an honest man. If he ia aa honest man, then be would not Üle a claim that i; not correct. It b&s been said that the claim .trows larger wilh time. I def any ona to how where, it has grown beyond the original ir()ofAJ. We agreed to pay this if tho so.it was dismissed. Are we to turn our ba'ks upon that? The claim is due and tbe service has been rendered. Mr ROBINSON believed the claim nnj-ut and that it should not be allowed. He demanded the previous question. The House secoaaed the demand, and under its operations the bill failed to pa.s yeas. 17; nays 30 Mr. SAYRE, explaining his vote, said: Two years ago two committees gave this a thorcngh examination, and I was familiar with the testimony; because two able attorney were employed to asiist the Attorney Ger.fial regaiding thess claims, and they, npen in vettiKation, reconmif nde d withdiawirg the sut on the cround that the e'aim was jtut, I vote "aye." Mr. 1, being Cbarmsn of the Committee on Claims, examined many witnesses upon this cass, aud among them wfs Mr. Adolph Shearer, tbe Supervising AicliitfctGf the State at present, who etttel i.L oath before my comm ttee that ha maJe re measurement of the work ia accordance ith the rules of measurement by master builders of this city, which were the sa-ne a v ere eet forth in the contract between Mr. Martin and the State, and there vras, accord-rt-'to said measorement, due John Martio. s-jt; 4. 1 put the question to hita, "Are you certain the measurement v;ii in ac:ord with tLe letter and spirit of tbe contract?' and tbe reply was, "I am positivs that it was." I therefore vote in favor cf tha claim. I vote a " Mr. BEST: Two year3 e.gi I rrale a thor0Tjr'h study c? the claim, aud believed it honest. I have learned nothing to change my mind, so I vote "ave." Mr. DEEM: Believing in the honesty of Governor Williarxs. John F hb?k &nd otb' erf, n):rt p-scirdtd the claim wai unjust, I v:te "lo."

Mr. f.OODINO: I beJUve that Indiana rhonld pay its hott-ii debts. I am flow t) luptort schemes of appropriating monay, bnt believing this biil a just debt, viewing from every light, 1 yote 'aye." Mr. HANLON: Reing a member ot the Claims Committee, my Investigation leads me to oppose the measure. I vote "no." Mr. HARRELL: For the reason that I hava heard no testlmcny justifying the c'aim, I vote "no." Mr. HOD AN: From what I can learn, taking the beat testimony, I vote "aye." Mr. KELLISON: As one of a hundred jnrvrueu I haye beard no conclniiTe tetiuiony cue way or the other which merits a cenviction of the mind. All the testimony is from hear-y. and fetring that t vote for it, on the meager testimony, I mi,;ht regret it, I vote "ro." Mr. MOCK: I hare K'Wen the bill coneiderabie testimony and du not b üle ve the claim is equilaVe.' I vote 'no." Mr. MACK: Drlieving that the measure Is non partisan, end believing in the rule laid down by Mr. Drowning that the claim, like liurbcun, crows hotter with age I think it Kccd enough to vote "ave." Mr. McDROOME: As I do not know enough about It, and have been unable to learn, I would like to be counted anyong the absentees. The SPEAKER: The gentleman must vote. Mr. McDROOME: Then I vote "no." Mr. SMITH, of Tippecanoe: Tne dltlereiice lies in the writ'.en and the unwritten rules as to tbe measurement. As the printed r.. les were adopted. I vote "aye." Mr TWIN Ell A M : For the reason that it N t plain contract I sote "aye." Mr. WILLIAMS: I have never believed it just r.nd do not r.ov, therefore I vote "no." Mr. WILSON: I voted for it two years apo binder a mitapprebention, and now l vo'e "r;o." Tfce vote was announced as above. So the bill failed to pass.

A F r K UN DON a K ;a i N. o fir Al t t.oi i:iat:on lil-. Mr. PATTEN: I will aalo. In my modet way, move to take up the bill U.R. IT'.O, the Appropriation bill, as a epecial order. The motion whs re jf cted yeas.o 1 ; nays. 1. The SPEAKER: I hope no farther time will be wasted on these roll-calls on this Appropriation bill. It is evident the House does not intend to take it up. okay el r.o a ns. Mr. Rojd's hill : H R. I i ; to amend a a act authcrizii g County Commissioners to construct gravel reads cn county iines was real the third time. Mr. DROWNING: Oaeof the leading journalshere having stated that if we did not 1 ave a special session, it would not be my ffcult, and to show that the writer was honestly miEtaken, I move the previous question. Subsequently the demand was withdrawn. Mr. MOCK aid the bill was unobjectionable arid ehould paES.. The bill passed yeae, s); rays, J VARUI MIY'S CI..M Mr. GORDON moved ij au nd the bill -3 171 allowing Mrs. Sarah May i 10. 000 lor architect services by her late husband, the late Edwin, making the sum ? 1 OCO. He said be was not eure but ? 1 000 was too much. Mr. WILLIAMS: After the gentleman from Putnam ( Mr. Gordon) hai secured testiu.tny which says the just ciaim is 12,00), it looks bad for himtocoaie up here and piopcse such an amendment. On motion of Mr WILLIAMS the motion to amend wh9 laid oa the table yeas, 07; nßYP, ). Mr. LOY I), explaining his vote, rail: 1 am not in favor of giving even the 1,00U, therefore I vote "aye." Mr. GORDON moved to amend so as to divide the sum amonp the heirs. He said: The gentleman from'Knox (Mr. Williaais) has Ma'ed that all the members of the State Uctue Commission had stated the money was oving. The testimony shows the contrary. This testimony shows that the State House Commissioners pad Mr. May $",."'"9 more than due him. The State doesn't owe Edwin May. Mrs. Mayer any of tho May heirs a cent, but if the money io to be paid, let it be given to the proper persons. It has been 6tatcd here that the May heirs had assigned all their ciaim to Mrs May. I have here a letter from E.T. May, who denies this. I desire to have it read as a part of rry remarks. The SPEAKER: If tbe gentleman will vouch for its genuineness he may have it read. Mr. GORDON: lean not do that, of course. The SPEAKER: Then the letter fan not be reed. Mr. TAYLOR: It the gentleman will allow me a suggestion, I will sav that I have seen a letter from two of the May heirs substantiating the assignment of the claims to Mrs. May, and their signatures wera attested by a gentleman who, I believe Mr. Herron. Mr. GORDON: General Morris and (ieneral Nelson both dec-are that they believe that Edwin May was folly paid. Mr. WILLIAMS: I thint this procedure is unfair at this very late day fcr ths reason that it is tco late to be sent back to the other end of the Capitol. So far as claims aga'.nst Indiana are concerned, this is the only tribunal for claimants against the State. Mr. DROWNING: Do you, on your hontr, as a lawyer, tay that the whole claim should be raid aloce to Mrs. Mav ? Mr. WILLIAMS: I do, because I have here a communication to the .Senate from the MHy heirs tssigning their claims to Mrs. May. On tnolion f Mr. WILLIAMS the amendment was laid nn the tahle. Mr. HARRELL moved to amend that the money he paid to the administra or of the My estcie. on xr.oticnnf Mr. DITTEMORE the amondrcer t wa laid upjn the tab!e. Mr. GoODING moved to amend that the allowance be ; Oöf) instead of f lu,OCO. On motion of Mr. HARRELL. the amendment was laid on the table yeas. ."1; nays, Mr. BROWNING moved to strike out the enacting clause: I don't believe that a dollar cf the claim is jcs; and I want to bring this thing to a dirtc: vote. Weshon'dnot dally with it lender. ' We can not afford to fcive Mrs. May i 10,'JjO, or i'i CCO, any more than we can " make such a present to any other needv woman. Mr. MOÜDY: While the stst? House Commissioners say in a teneia! way that rotting is due. yst tare up their statements pep by page, item by item, an J yoti will hr.d that they declare that the money ehould be paid to Mrs. May. Tho first thiiu a lawyer voTild tfk a witeffs on nis point woald be: ' I-the claim jusi? ' Tnen thera would be ceneral quest'or ir.g to show if th answer ' et-" or "no" to this o,cetion were cir.ee. Edwin May did the v.ori. and his i.co3 wife siood t7 h:s v.de like a minifiteing angel, and his two children ccnie iu with a recognition of her r d fM', "Give the ciaim to rubber." Tne te' ;i;e 'otumittee paid it honld be paid; so did il.e S-rate, and, coming to the Hine, ;i pec:al c . rumittee cf ece cies i! nd no positive r rof f p.;inst it On rbotion of Mr. MrMULT.EN the motion to ttr.'ke cut the enacting clause wm Uid on tne fah1 Mr. GOODING, whn Ins nam w.i called, asked to be rasped until the ecd ot the rollcall. The SPEAKER: The rules tay that a member shall vote when called. Mr. GOODING: I would lite to ak the Sje&ker why I am thus tingled out.

The 6PEAKER: Tk c"tnnn fs not singled out and la oat of order. How does hi- vota? Mr. GOODINO: Will the Speaker say why 1 am singled ont. The SPEAKER: The gentleman mmt vote. Mr. GOODING: I am ready and vole 'aye;" bat I want to know why the Speaker slneles me out for this rule. Mr. 03D0RN, explaining his vote, laid as a doubt existed in hit mind at to the justice of the claim, he would give the S;ate the benefit cf the doubt and vote "no." Tbe yote wai then announced at above. So the motion was Ja d on the tahle. Mr. WILLIAMS moved that the till be , i aed to a third reading. The motion was agreed to.
