C. ShlcKley of Geneva , lirsl assist-in Fccretarv. was offered by Mr. Snell of JelTer Kin and accepted , and Frank llolllngawortl was elected In his stead. The committee on enrolled and engrosBCt bills reported favorably sennit ) bill 120 , tin consideration of which , owing to the absent ot Mr. Hcartvvcll , was afterwards postponed Mr- Colby , from thn committee on labor reported house roll 1st legartllng thu me chariics' lien law requiting a notice of twent : days , with the recommendation that it be In definitely postponed. Mr. Moore wanted to place It on the gen era ! file. Half a do/.en labor bills had beci otherwise disposed of and It looked as 1 there was a de.sire to g t this bill also out o the way. Mr. Drown of Clay said that the bill ha < been passect by tlio house , and for that reasoi he tfiought It ought to be tu-ated In a tal manner. Mr. Hobblns said the people were satlsfiei with the present mechanics' Hen law an there was no use ot carr > Ing upon the gei t-ral lile bills which could not be reached. Mr , Drown said that If there was a senate on thu floor who had read the bill ho had no It had simply been considered In the con mltteo as It had passed the house. It ougl to bo considered In the senate. Ho thougl : that It had features which ought to can so to pass. Mr. Schmlnko hoped that it would be con nidere.it In committee ot tlm whole. Itvi ; placed on the general tile. Mr. Colby , from the same committee , rc < oinmended that senate tile 10. ) do not pass. Mr. Fuller noted tlicsingularfatallly whlc gcnerallv struck all bills like these of the gei tleman from dago , or which had the mist'oi tune to be referiea to his committee. 'I'll last two bills were like Mr. Colby's , and th attempt to dispose of thorn justified tli speaker's reference. The will was placed on the general tilo. The senate went into committee of tli whole , Mr. Snell in the chair , Senate tile I was considered. This makes It a misd meaner , punishable by a line not exceedln 810 , or Imprisonment not exceeding ton day for any one Intentionally to provoke or a' ' tempt to provoke an assault upon himself c others by the use of gross , vile or abusl\ \ language. Mr. Wright of Seward thought provontlc bellw than cure , and on motion the bill wi recommended to pass. Mr. Wright's ' senate lile HI was read. : compels land owners to mow weeds on hlgl ways adjoining limit1 property between tli 1st and -Otli of August , and failing so to d to have the cutting done by the road eve seer and the cost of the same collected by tl oounty tieasurer. A long debate ensued , ! the course of which several aniendmen were olTered and Messrs. Fuller. Duras , Lin say and Hobblns spoke. The bill was finall recommended to pass wltti the nndortandin . , that the cost of the work was to bo asses.sc against the realty of the contiguous properl owner and not the personally , and that tl name wits to be listed by the county cletk au collected by the county treasurer. Senate uio 20 , amendinz section 1 , chapti Ki , was read. It provides that the proper ! owned by any woman at the time of hernia rlage , and any rents , Issues , profits or pr cceds she may derive from either real , pe 8onal or mixed property which shall come I tier by descent or devise , shall remain hi sole and separate property and bo not su Ject for disposal by her husband nor llab for his debts ; provided , that all nroperty i married women bo not exempt from all a tachmcnts or executions for debt Incurred 1 the maintenance of their families. Mr. Moore amended by adding to the la act a clause requiring first the return of r execution against the husband as unsatlstit because of want of lands or other propel ty. The bill was reported to pass. The next was senate lilu 3.1 , which pt vldes that a transfer or lien by deed or moi ( ago by either husband and wife shall : valid to the same extent as between oth persons. Mr. Llnnsay said this bill aimed to i away with the third person now necessa to legalize the tiansfcr of property betwet man and wife. Mr. Hnbblns of Valley said that the doll away with that third person tended to 1 crease the number of fraudulent transff which now take place between husband at wife. It simply said to both wife and hi band , "You may go Into debt and defrai your creditors bv transferring your proper to one another , " Mr. Schmlnko held the same view. Wh n third party was resulted for the transl fraud could not be practiced so well , lie I stanct'd a case where a bondsman , to ave responsibility , transferred his property to third party who , when the danger h passed , refused to re-transfer to the origin owner , whereupon the latter committed si cldo. cldo.Mr. . Lindsay said that If the transfer to wife , or vlco versa , was fraudulent , the sat could be set aside as at present A thl partv rarely know when a traud was i tended. Mr. Hnbblns said with the proposed In theto could be no fraudulent transfer bccan ft wife could not be uiadu to testify again her husband. Mr. Drown of Clay said that It was a she but dangerous bill. Tim senate had a da gorous practice of passing almost every bl which came before It , so much so that It h been said that the state would derive ! calculable advantage if thu body should a journ without passing another law. Tl 111 ! ought not to Do made a law. If It shoi pass millions of property would be fraud lenijy transferred in tills state to avoid deb Husnamls would contract debts and wlv would bo found to own the property. T present law was a safe one. requiring a thl party to the transfer , who had to be In c luslon with the other two before a transfer fraud could be effected. Mr. Colby said that ho believed even nov husband could transfer to his wife withi the Intervention of a third party , althou other lawyers held differently. This li Mould settle the business. A third party w BO protection against fraud , because ho h acted In tuat capacity and did not know w the transfer was made. He declared woman would K a witness against her hi band In a case for fraudulent transfer. Mr. Hobblns quoted f rum thu btatutes show that she could not. Mr. Moore of Lancaster said the bill wet remove the bunion of proof of fraud to t Honest debtor Instead of the third party , ai this In the face of the fact that the supiei court had held that transfers ou Ut to be gardod with suspicion. Mr. Schmlnko amended that the commit report that the bill do not pass. Mr. Lindsay said the bill did nway w three dtods as now necessary , and their s sequent cost , to but two. Mr. Hobblns moved to cf.llc out thu Acting clause. The motion was lo.tt. Mr. T/Kliuck moved to amend the Mil bill to enable husband and wife to swln creditors and do away vs Uh unpleasant v nesses. " [ Laughter ! . Mr. Hchmlnko's amendment was lost b vote ot 0 to 11. Mr. Drown mOT i ! this amendnidnV to last clause , "providing the husband and \ > Imvo no debts and liabilities outstand ftzalnst tiicm. " " .Mr. Mclklrjohn hoped tlu- bill wor.lU ccl defeated. It would DPI doubts attest c centime the present Uw , and under II fraud wore practiced. tiu wirtle 3 cculd Into court And tmowlt. Air. Mooie's amendment was 'lost. Another Ucur > & debute euauvd Tz chuck moved the committee rise and this prevailed. The conimltleo reported progress and the senate adjourned. A 1.1TTI.K rollEPAST.

[ Special Tele gram to the liitE.uly : : ] Ihls evening Con- sl.iblo Logan , who has been very acllvo In the enfoicement of the prohibitory law , stopped a dray with a batrel of whisky on it belonging to llulbeit , HCSS& Co. , wholesale druggists , which was about to bo delivered to a letail druggist. Ho ordered the driver , Ah Camp bell , to go with him bick to Hie warehouse lo see If lie had a permit for delivering liquor. Entering the slore he went to the rear and said that this driver was under arrest and wanted to know If the house had a delivery permit for him. Mr. C. H. Ward , one of the proprietors standing by , replied that ho did not know. Thereupon another driver , Joe Howe , stopped and inquired what was the matter. Logan replied thai he had arreslcil Campbell. "Have you got a warrant for his aircst'1 asked Howe. "It's none of your d d business , " replied the constable ; "and If you don't keep still i'l airest you , too. " "Xot unless you have a warrant , " said Howe ; and , turning to Campbell , he said ; "If ho hasn't got a warrant you go along and tend to your work. " As he spoke , Logan drew his revolver am ! fired at Howe , who returned the lire , sendltij : a bullet Into Logan's breast. The latter , with revolver extended , started after Camp bell , but fell within ten feet and died In r minute. Howe was at once arrested and Is now In jail. There is much excitement In town over the murder , but no serious result * an ; feared. Public opinion is divided , some holding thai iho lalal shot was tired In self defense and thai Logan was altogether too fieo with his pistol. Lognii belonged to a quartette of constable * who have been making nearly all the searches and sci/ures under the prohibltorj law of late and have been very teady to draw levnlvers whenever their authority wa > calif d in question. Howe was a peaceful , good-natured fellow , and has always bore r good reputation. Ho had been twice ar rested before lor delivering liquors in hi' capacity as drayman , and it is thought tha lie had been go.uled by the annoyance to tin point of i-arrylnz a revolver for his own pro tccllon against the olllcurs.

MANY DECISIONS HANDED DOWN An In nnc Man' * Suicide Hold to II * an Accident and nn Insurance Company Liable 1'or Supreme Court Decisions , I WAsin.Ntnox , March 7. The supreme coutt icassembled to-day after Ihe February recess , All the justices weie In their sentg except Justice Woods , who Is still in Cali fornia. Decisions were rendeied In twenty- eight cases , of which the following ate those of the most L-cncral tmpoitanco : Xo. W The executors of F.lins Speldel , de ceased , vs the tiuslees of Harmony society ot Ueaver county , Pennsylvania. Appeal from the I'lilted State.s circull court for the western dlstriet of Peniisjlvauia. Tl'ls was a suit bioiight by u toiiuer member of the Harmony community to leeovor v\hat he claimed as his individual share in the com munity's proudly. The appellant main tains ills still anulnsl tlio trustees upon the ground that ihu ti list is not charily In thu legal sense ; thai the membeis of the society are equitable tenants In common of the prop erty held In trust , and that the tiust Is un lawful because founded In fiaud and acalust public policy , mid should therefore be dissolved. This couit , without con sidering the questions thus raided , as to the nature ot the community and of the trust , decides that Inasmuch as Speldel withdrew fiom thu community tn 1S11 and never returned to It , anil for mure than fifty je.irs look no steps lo obtain an account from , tlie trustee * or to assert his alleged rlghls , ho Is not entitled to lellef. It ho ever hail any rights ho could not asseit them after such delay. The tlcciee of thu circuit court Is at- tirmed. Xo. -Accident Insurance company ot Xoith America , plaintiff in enor , vs Loretia M. Crandall , in error to thu United States circuit couit for the district ot Illinois. This is a policy upon a suit ol accident insurance nnd presents a question whether a pulley o Insurance against "bodily Injuries ellected thiiiugh external , accidental and violent mean ? , " nnd occasioning death or complete disability to do business , and providing that "this insurance shall not ex tend to death or disability" which may have been caused wholly or In pait hy bodily Infirmities or diseates , or bv the taking of poison or by suicide oi6 sell-infilcteil injuries' , " coveis death by hiiiwing ones self while ins.ine. This couit holds that tlk > question Is to a great extent duteimlnud by n pievlnus decision as to the effect of a policy til lilo Insurance which tuovltles that it .shall be null ami void It the asstiteil 'Shall dlo bv suicide" or "shall die by his own hand. " This court has re peatedly anil uniformly held that such pro vision not containing tlio words "sanu or In sane , " does not Include self-kllliiu by an In sane person. There can be no doubt , In tlio piesenl state of the law , that Ciandnll did not die by "siilcldu" within the meaning of this policy ; anil the .same leasons are conc'uslvo ' against holding that ho died by "self-inflicted injuries. " If "self-killing , " "suicide , " "dying by his own hand" cannot bo piedicted nl an Insane person , no more can Self-inflicted Itijmies'for in cither caiiu it Is not his act nol Ihe acl of himself. Xfor dues t lie case como within the clause whla-Y pioviites that the insurance shall not extend to "death or disability which may have been caused wholly or in pait bv bodily Infirmities or disease. " The words ' 'bodily Infirmities or disease" do not Include Insanity. Upon tlie question raised as to tlio effect of the leading sentence of the policy Instiling Ciandall "against bodily injuries through , external , accidental ami violent ntnans , " the conn holds that this sentence does not speak of what the Injiuy "is caused by , but only looks to" the means by which It Is effected. Xo ono doubts that hanging Is a violent means of death. As it effects fiom without it is exteinal , and nccoiding to deci sions as to suicide under policies of insiiuincc it cannot , when done by an insane - sane peison , be held to be other than acci dental. Tin ; judgment of the circuit court in favor of this plalnlilt was correct and is affirmed. Xo. I'-Mf Chicago , Huillneton & Kansas Citv company , plaintiff , on uiror , vs the state of Mlssouil , ex nil. John F. Gulfey. collector , in enor , to tlie supiomo couit ot Missouri. The judgment appealed from in this case allirmed the liability to taxation in Missouri for state nnd county purposes of what was properly known as the Central Notth Mis souri branch of the Si. Joseph it Iowa rail road , more recently named the Linneus branch of the Uuilinuton A : Southwestern ralhoad company , anil now owned by the Chicago , Uurlington < k Kansas City rail- load company. The latter company claims to have succeeded to all the rights , ptivilegub ami Immunities granted to the 1 St. Joseph & Iowa railioad compuiy in its chattel of 18.77 , among which was an exemp tion of Its stock from taxation tor state and county purposes. In tlio opinion of the court it Is not clear that the exemption from taxa tion given by such chatter as that grunted to the St. Joseph & Iowa lailioauVconipftBT should ho extended. The statute djics notIn terms aunt Immunity from taxatlfn. and a s.v.stem established by It is complete ( n itself witliuut lutoience to other legislative eiuct- meats. Tne present claim to exemption must he denied , for it is an established doc trine of tills court that Immunity from .taxa tion hy a state will not be recognized unless cranted in terms too plain to be mistaken. The judmcnt of the supreme coutt of Mil * bouri Is allirmed. The lildon "Will Trouble. XKW YOHK , March 7. The answer of til * executors undct the will of the Kite Samuel J.
