LINCOLN , January 15.-At half-past nine
the speaker took the chair and called the
house to order. After the usual Introductory
business and as BOOH fts thu speaker announced
motions , at least forty of thosopiescnt jumped
to their foot with either bills or rotolutions ,
wishing to present to the houso. None of
thaso , however , were of any importince or
called for any remarks until a resolution by
Cole of AdaniH , was propotOd. This rcsolu-
w H.to tha following effect : That Iho com
mittee on railroads bo Instructed by this

Cole , in introducing his resolution , tiiid lie
had every faith in the railroad cominiltee , lait
ho wanted them to act Bpetdily , bcciustj the
cry of the people oi the itito W H for railroad
reform.
Holinos , of I'ierco , objected. No bill had

Howard , of Clay , auppottcd Dempster'

Failure of John J. Cisco & Son.
NEW YOHK , January 15. It wai oQiclally
announced shortly after the close of business
that the old banking linn cf Jno. .T. Cisco & ,
Son hid made nn assignment to Louis May ,
formerly of the linn of May & King , bankers ,
who Is also the assignee of Halstead , Halnea
& Co , , which concern suspended some months
ago. The firm was intimately connected
financially for many years with the Louis
vlllo & Nnshvillo , and Houston & Texas Cen
tral Railroad companies ; owing to _ the
shiinkago of values of thp above securities
raports wore started eoveral days ago tliat the
tirm waa ombarraescd. Although the
roporlK afferting the credit were
denied at the time , they led to n
steady nod increasing run by depositors nnd
it was deemed boit for the benefit of all the
creditors to make an assignment without pref
erences , for the purpose of a gradual liquida
tion and as generally believed this afternoon ,
the matter is rather In iho nature of liquida
tion than a failure , ns it is stated that all de-
poaltpiB will bo paid in full as BOOH ns the se
curities can bo realized upon. No statement
has yet been mada up. The present partners
are John A. Cisco , eon of John J. Ciuo , and

for n long time treasurer of the United States
at Now York. All monies deposited with the
