J -
'j , LINCOLN , March 9.-Speclal.-There ( )
: seems to have been a friendly contest be-
tWln the house and the senate a to which
; shil pertorm the mt service to the state
/ , , by enacting th least legislation , ant up to
( late In experienced Jlllge would have some I
: l difculty In adjustng the clnlms of the
' ' two branches of the legislature. The senate -
: ate has performed a notable serlo to the
state by passing the two much needed Irrl-
, gaLlon blue. On the . other hand , the house
. has done equally well by passIng the beet
sugt bounty bill. Honors are practically
: even on this score , for these are the two
" .
most Important maters left with the prest
. ) ent cession for solution. The house has
; passed some notable bills , however , which
, l yet remain unacte1 ! upon In the senato.
louse roll No. 76 , by 'Grlfths , at Adams
. county , has been recommended to the fnvor-
,
able consideration of the legislature by Gov-
" , crnor Crounse. I provides that the peni-
tentary physician and the superintendent
: and first assistant physician of the State
) : , Hospital for the Insane shall constitute a
penitentiary medical board Whenever the
physician at the state penitentiary shah be-
leve that any convict has become insane
- such convict shall be examined as to his : ,
sanity by the board , and . I shown to be I
. insane shall be removed to the insane hoe-
. pltal for trcattnnt . I such treatment shah
. prove efeeUve anti , the convict be restored to
II , . I full mental . health he shall be returned to
the penltehtary to serve out the unexpIred
. I balance of his senten e. The necessity for a
. law of this character las been apparent , '
,
; I for many years. I Is no uncommon occur-
: I rence for a convIct to become Insane. Under
the present laws In such cases the governor
can only pardon him In order that lie may
, : , . bo taken to the hospital.
, - house roil No. 71 , Introduced by Sutton of
; t Douglas county , and pending In the senate ,
briefly provides that any county now govern-
! log itself under the township organization
. , law may return to the commissioner system
' ; - by a vote of the people of that county at
" ' any general election whenever not less than
: 10 per cent of the eletors Petition the
. county clerk for a submission of such a
proposition.
House roll No. 82 , by Dec. of Furas
county , authorizes the Investment of slnle-
Ing funds In the hands of county treasurers
r In registered warrants under the direction
' - of the county boards. I confers a similar
, authority cers upon city and school district of- ! !
. COUPLE OF LABOR BIbLS. -
Representative Jenness of Douglas county
I has introduced a number of bills In the house
a tie Instance of the Central Labor union
. of Omaha. These bills have been before the
legIslature far a number of sessions , but
, never before las success been so certain.
, The house has already passed two of the
bills and they arc well on theIr way In the
senate. . .
House roll No. 84 provIdes that I shall be
: the duty of ever contractor at the state
r . penitentiary who carries al a manufacturIng
j business In which the labor or the ski of
the prisoners Is employed , to stamp all

. ThIs bill narrowly ecaped I suffocation . In' '
the senate Senator Snlth , chairman of the
, committee qn labor reported I met a favorable :
able recommendaton , but the Imcaster :
county senators led In a tight to have It In-
defniely postponed. A majority of the I -
ate . however , voted to place It on general '
I
11e.Another
t ; Another noteworthy bill In the Interests of
labor pased' by the house Is house roll No
( 183 , ale Introduced by Je ness. I Is entitled
"An Act to Protect Employee and Guarantee
, . Their Right to Delong to a Labor OrganIza-
tion. " I provIdes that I shall be unlawful
; . for IndivIdual :
any , firm , company or corporation -
¶ poraton to prevent employee from forming , ,
joining or belonging 'to any lawful labor or-
. ganIzaton : aDd any such Individual , firm ,
. company or corporation . that attempts to
coerce employee by eIther. dIscharging them
Dr threatening to discharge them because of
, their connection with such lawful labor
. connecton or-
ganizaton shall be guilty of a misdemeanor , ,
, t and upon conviction shall be fined In any
sum not exceeding $500 , or Imprisonment not
exceeding six months. A strong sentiment :
has already been manufactured In the seeate ;
- against the bill. The word manufactured Is ;
. , use advisedly , because a great deal of quiet L
.1 : work has been
. , ben done hy representatives of r
some large corporatIons who do not desire
the bill to become a law.
t
Senator Smith has kept time bills akot for
t by the laboring men In sight during the
, entire sesion , and has done much to ad\'nce !
. them on the calendar. As he Is one of the
t popular members of the senate he hopes to
P' secure their passage , although the lateness
'
of the session will be urged against him at L
. every move he inches.

LINCOLN , Mardi 9.-Speclal-The ( ) relief
commission was , macho glad today by receipt
of the intelligence that the B. & M. rod
woull grant free biing of seed grain do-
nalell to desttnto farmers. This order op
ples only to grain' actual ) donated , anl1
w ill not be granted to those purchasing
grain or boards of trade , or from other par-
ti es. The commission expects that other
roads wi follow the example of the l3uriing- '
ton shortly . This grain will be delivered
wihin the limits of certaIn territory west
or Adams amt Webster counties , and north- !
w est or Grand Island. The old rate of 10 , :
Ii , and 20 cents will remain In force on
al l grain actually purchased by counties or
private Individuals ,
I Is quite evident that house roll No. I ,
I.amborn's bill , to allow counties to vote
bonds for seed grain Is a dead letter. 'Vord !
has gone out through all the destitute couni
tes that the act was unconstitutional , and
wherever the proposition was voted on I
met with defeat Boyd county was an cxcep-
ton , all carried the bonds ta the amount of
20000. These bonds , however have never
been printed , and It Is understood that
'
Audior Moore would not register the bonds
I they had been presented , under advice of
Atorey General Churchill. Hepresentatve
Lambor appears qllo Indignant because the
atorney general declined to gIve an opinion
on the bill while I was In the hands of tie
c ommittee. Barry urged a motion In the
house that a demand be made upon Attorney
General Churchill for such an opinion , but
, 1 t was voted down. There Is said to be
something behind this mater In connection
with the permanent school fund. An
amendment was tacked on to the bill In
the senate providing for an Investment of a
porton of the permanent school fund In
these see grain bonds. So soon as this
was done Lincoln and Omaha bankers Imme-
diately wrote to theIr country correspondents
showIng that I would Involve the drawing
from the banks of a large portion of the
permanent school fund money. ThIs clinched
the mater and to this , alone , Is attributed
the general defeat of the seed grain bonds
al along the himie. ,

mite on munipaitffairs since January 17.

The ' bankers' , commitee , headed by Her-
man , Kountze Henry 'V Yates ' and Dr. ,
, Mercer , argued during the afternoon against
al of the vial amendments to the charter.
They attacked principally the tax commIs-
sioner. The remarkable assertions made by
these gentlemen last Monday afternoon have
already been recorded , a stenographic report
havIng been printed In The Dee or March 6.
These gentlemen left wIth the committee
on munIcipal affairs an amendment which , if
adopted ' , will strike out the proposition I
a' tax commissioner and thus leave the present -
ent pernicious and inequitable system of
Inequiable a-
sessment untouched.
The suspicion has become well grounded
that the , distinguished gentlemen composIng
the heavy taxpayers delegation have laid
their plans to defeat the whole charter rather
than , to allow the
alow provIsIon for a tax commissIoner -
missIoner to remain I Is said that the
charter , will be reported to the senate during
the coming week. No definite day Is set for
the report. I may come In Monday or not
until next Saturday. There Is

LINCOLN , March 9.-Speclal.-Tho ( ) jury'm
In i the murder trial of the state against
George Washington Davis was excused today
at noon tram . further service until 1onday ,
The testimony this morning proves almost
conclusively that \ the wreck was llurposely
nnd maliciously caused by certain partes ,
J. I Shouse , formerly a section hand on
( . lie Missouri Pacific . positively identified the
claw bar as one owned , and repalrell by him.
Since October , 1893 , It had not been In his
possesslou , This' evidence 18 important os
showing that the claw bar was not the
property of the Hock Island conipany The
coat of the 11erellant was identified by Ira
S hiortridge , who found It In the weeds near
the t wreck
It.V. , Day gave the distance between the
Lincoln hotel and the wreck by the nearest
route as five miles. This testmony was
Introduce i to show that tint defendant could
not , by any feat of ability , have reached
the wreck before others . starting from the
colored club house behind the Lincoln ,
Daniel Sullivan had heard many conflicting
reports of the cause of the wreck , and
went there out or curiosity to see If he could
discover anything. Sulvan Is road master at
the Lincoln street railway. Saw a dIsplaced
r ail and noticed that the bake hall been re-
m iioved by a monkey wrench and also noticed
t hat the angle bars had been removed The
winess was positive that a monkey and not
I track wrench had been Used , because the
mark made by the wrench proved it. The
rack wrench would have left no marks for
the reason that It Is manipulated from above
the nut and not on the side. lie lad examined -
amined the' cst rail and found that ten
or fifteen spikes had been drawn with a claw
b ar . the dent of the bar being plainly die-
I cernlble. The witness was fully satisfied
, that , from his examination , some one had
I wrecked the train. Ho had test ed before
, the coroner's Jury that le did not believe
the Job was done by one man. lie still holds
to t that opinion and told the jury that some
one had first tackled the west raIl , and
breakIng the head off a spike there , had
abandoned that rail and begun to remove the
s pikes from the cast rail. From the manner
In I which the work was done he believed timnt
tmt
one man had taken the nuts oft the angle
bars and another had pulled the spikes.
STOny OF A PASSENG
Mrs. Lulu Rutherford of Lawrence , Kan. ,
was a passenger on the wrecked traIn. 'Vhen
the smash came she was seated In the rear
or the coach. She was thrown to the center -
ter of the car by the shock. When the train
reached the bottom of the declivity witness
walled out of the rear door of the coach
and saw a colored man standing there She
approached him and said : "For God's sake
go down and help them. " The negro had
moved off .lowly , and witness had given hIm
a push to accelerate his movements. Time I
negro had made a pecular sound , not ex-
. acty a yell. and went on ,
Mrs. De Puis , widow of Engineer Do Puis , !
who lost his life In the wreck , was In deep
mourning , and with ' difficulty restraIned her
tears while - replying to the brief queries '
necessary to establish the death of her hus- :
band.
One of the strong cIrcumstances brought
out to show that the traIn did not Jump the
track Is the fact that the flange of the frt
e nglne wheel that struck the displaced rail
has left Its mark on the tie In a manner
t hat 'speak' . louder than the testimony , of experts -
Judge Tibbets today decided the peculiar
cao of Alexander West against Columbus
Lee. The judge finds that the plaintiff was
an Ignorant , illiterate man , who was frIght-
ened into deeding a large amount of real estate -
ate to the defendant. Lee represented to
West that some one was about to levy on all
of his ( Lee's ) property and. thus secured a
deed to I himself. The court ordered the
lands l t13 fraudulently obtaIned to be recon-
'eyed to West. No consideration was found
. to have ben paId by Lee.

and there seems to be but one sentiment re

churc hero on Sunday that I a sImilar
ordinance existed In all the cites of the
country respecting children being at their

would In a comparatively short time lessen

w ith time governor , anti Senator Dale from

Watson claimed that everybody believed
t hat the present law was unconstitutional.
l ie demmicd timat there was any disposition on

perfectly willing to make the governor a
member of time board.
Later in the debate Crane offered an
omemmmitmmcmnt making ( Ito test 135 degrees instead - .

Watson said that oil at 135 degrees was :
much more expensive to time conetmoter anti
l ess valuable for ihluniinating purposes. lie !
said that ito Imad been so imifornied by macmm
well acquainted with tIme oil busimiess.
Crane asked It tIme senator ( rota Otoe had
his imitormation from time Standard 011 corn-
pany.
Tlte qmmestion caused the Otoo county mcmii-
her to flash up at considerably less than 110
degrees. lie indignantly resented the imputation -
tion and said ( imat it was a cowardly in-
sttiuation.
Sprechier succeeded in cutting the salaries :
of ( Ito deputies down to $100 per month.
Ho first ProPosed to make it $80 per month ,
asserting that time deputies did not put in
half of their time and that they all carried
railroad hiasses anyway , so that time mnileage
they received from the state would bring :
their salaries up to a remunerative amount ,
The republicans rejected time $80 amend-
imient , Spreclier then fixed the amount at
$100 , mvltich was agreed to.
The bill adds one important provision to
the now law. It. provides that all gasoline
shall ho inspected and branded as "rejected"
