The committee rose and the House
adjourned
lin cur report Of yesterday the fol-
lowing of the proceedings were acci-
dentally omittedl:
Mr.. SCOFIELD, under leave obtained
on his motion, offered the following
resolution:
ResOlred, That the fine specimen of
stone presented by the gentleman from
Upshur, which the builders rejected and
which the Legislature split upon, be
transferred to the Speakers desk for
use with his gavel,
Mr., PINNELL said
Mr.. SPEAKER Il hope the resolution
will pass. / brought up the specimen
of stone to show to this House what an
inexhaustible mine of such stone We
have in Upshur. l have missed the
specimen from my desk for several days;
and, knowing that the gentleman from
Writ represents q district quite barren
of all such geological developments, l
thought he might possibly have been
tempted to frank it to his constituents
as a curiosity. The passage of this
resolution may possibly throw light
upon it's whereabouts.
Mr.. SCOFIELD said:
Mr.. SPEAKER Il proposed this reso-
luton out of consideration to the gen.
tlemau from Upshur. Knowing with
what tenacious sympathy and affection
he clings to everything pertaining to
Buckhannon, thought than even the
loss of a rock specimen might have q
dire effect. | trust that the specimen
will be recovered and preserved in the
archives of the government to be used
as the corner stone Of the resurrected
temple, whether located at Buckhan-
