The rcsulution was unanimously adopted. The committee on education, on motion of Mr. Caster, was instructed to prepare a bill relating to the furnishing free of chargo text books to those children whofw parents were unable to purchase the same. Mr. Magee's resolution providing for the appointment of a committee of three, one member of which should be named by the senate and two by the house, to inquire into the feasability and cost, of manufacturing binding twine at the northern prison, was adopted. Mr. Smith was subsequently appointed to serve on the committee as the member from the senate. The president appointed Messrs. Harlan, Hubbell and McGregoT as a committee to prepare a memorial on the death of exSenator Carpenter. A suitable memorial on the death of Senator Cronk was reported by the committee appointed for that purpose. Mr. Howard offered a resolution providing that all bills providing for an appro pnation of monev should, after being reported favorably upon by the proper committee and before the second reading, be referred to the finance committee. The committee on mileage, for the information of the senate, reported the number of miles that each member bad traveled and the amounts expended. Mr. Byrd presented a memorial, which had been signed by nearly 4.000 coalrniners, calling the attention of the senate to a most pressing trievance under which they had labored for two years. The memorial set forth that men of their calling were constantly in great danger oi death

from various causes. It recited that Governor Hovey hail appointed to the important position of mine inspector, a person who was possessed of no practical knowle 'ge whatever of mines. Owing to this c'Leiafs incompetency, they were compelled to breaihe noxious and deathj dealing odors, and work in mines that were unsafe. The memorial concluded with tho request that the senate take steps to preclude the pc sibility of the present mining inspector's iTislow) reappointment. Mr. Bvrd moved the reference of the memorial to the committee on executive appointments. Mr. Boyd offered as an amendment that the committee notify the governor of the receipt of the memorial, and be empowered to examine witnesses as to the competency or incompetency of tho mining inspector. Mr. Shockney, the self-appointed leader otthe very small minority, made objection to the memorial being referred to any committee, claiming that it was couched in what be termed "slippery language." It was a direct stab at or an insinuation against the integrity of the governor. He finally referred contemptuously and sneeringly to the memorial as "dime novel literature," at the same time impugning the motives of the 4,000 citizens of Indiana who had given it their indorsement, many of whom are members of his own party. Mr. Bvrd said that the men in whose interests the memorial had been presented were quite as honest as any of Mr. Shockney's constituent", and had as much right to a hearing on the floor of the senate. The governor's attention bad already been called to the matter. It was a notorious' fact throughout tho state that Tis ow waa thoroughly incompetent. He was simply a mine inspector in name, and draws the salary attached to an oflice, tho duties of which he did not discharge. Mr. llobson the republican member from Park was patisflcd that the miners had good cause for complaint and was heartily in favor of Mr. Byrd. Mr. Mount expressed himself in "a similar strain. Mr. Ma ge objected to Mr. Boyd 'a mo tion to call the attention of the governor to the charge of incompetency mado again-t the alleged mine inspector, saying that the chief executive well knew that he was not fitted for the position when ha appointed him. It waa merely a political appointment, and if the governor did not remove him the senate should 'take the power to rill this oflice from bis hands. Somebody a-ked what business the emU nent Mr. Tislow had been engaged 13 prior to hia appointment, and somebody in the rear of tne chamber replied: "He was a farmer in Pike county,' whereat tlu re was a general smile. Mr. Shock nev, after admitting that knew absolutely nothing about mines or mine inspectors, declared that Tislow was a competent official, and that the memorial waa merely a trick to remove bin solely on political grounds. The following bills were then introduced and referred to the proper committees: Mr. Clemans Concerning roads and highways and their improvement. Committee on roads. Mr. Ewing Repealing certain sections of an act concerning public offenders. Judiciary committee. Mr. Fulk Repealing certain sections of an act relative to animals running at large.

This bill authorizes tho statu auditor to give Luther H. Mott a deed to forty acres of land in Tipton county, which has been in dispute for several vears. Mr. Kennedy presented a memorial from the citizens cf lleed township, Daviess county, netting forth that Stewart Porter, township trustee, had deposited funds of the township to the amount of S4.j0 on deposit with the Hyatt bankinj company, which organization subsequently failed, paying but 70 cents on the dollar. Porter, therefore, received altogether $315, paying the additional $1. from his own pocket. The memorial asked that he be reimbursed in that Eum. The memorial was referred to the committee oa finance. The rules were suspended and a house bill was passed legalizing the acts of the board of trustees of the city of Knightstown. Sir. McGregor offered a resolution which was adopted instructing the secretary of state to report to the senato what amendments had been made to the constitution by the last general assembly. It was alout 3 o'clock when Mr. Byrd precipitated a discussion that lasted for two long hours by the introduction of a resolution setting forth that charges had been made against the management of the Pastern hospital for the insane, located at Richmond, and that the people of the state were demanding a fair and impartial investigation. The remainder of tne resolution read as follows: Resolved by the aenata and the bouse of rep resenutivrs. Ihst a sub-committee of four me rubers be selected by the chairman of the committee on benevolent institutions oa tho part of the senate to act with a sut-committo of five from the oolite, two nif rubers to be selected from the insjority and two from the minority on the pari of the senate to folly and thoroushly ioresiigate the condition and atfaira of the Eisiern Indinna bopital for the insane, with power to send for peraona and papers, to employ a stenographer and report tbeir acts to the general assembly at as early a day as pot siblft. No sooner had the clerk finished read-' ing the resolution than Mr. Shockney waa on his feet protesting against the adoption of the resolution because it did not give the right to name the eub-cominittee to the senate. Mr. Yaryan said that he was not opposed to the resolution, but this was not tho time for an investigation. The committee would not be able to do anj-thing in the matter because all of the witnesses were In attendance upon the court where the trial of Woods, the man charged with Continued on Sixtn fag.
