Mr.. Snider, Of Monongalia-The gen
tleman from Ohio county lMr. Davenport,
on last Saturday accused the gentleman
from Hancock Of being a native Of Jeffer'
son county, Ohio. Now, It seems 10 me
that the nest Of the gentleman from Ohio
(Mr. Davenport) Is Just about as warm as
that OF the gentleman from Hancock.
Mr.. Reynolds-I am sorry that have
not bottle Of oil to pour on these
troubled waters. Let Us take these things
in good humor. II some Of you get hit
don't get mad, but keep your temper.
Mr.. Butcher-It looks like this Is more
OF personal attack on the gentleman
from Hancock than on the bill.
Mr.. Davenport-There has been sever.
al reflections upon myself In this House.
On last Saturday, the gentleman from
Hancock (Mr. CampbelD went outside OF
the question and blackguarded me and
my constituents, personally.

THIRD SCENE.
The Road Bill was made text for the
third farce. II possible, the members
were more indecorous and confused than
when considering the Insurance Bill.
Mr.. Wooddell moved TO take up the re.
port oil the Conference Committee on the
road bill.
Mr.. Thompson asked whether this report
was properly before the House; said that
nothing had been done In either House In
regard 10 that report, and thought 1t was
row In order to take up the bill.
Mr.. Davenport-Will the gentleman
allow me to ask him question.
Mr.. Thompson-No, sir. When get
through you can have the floor.
Mr.. Davenport, (interrupting)-You
took the floer from me and l demand the
reading Of the bill.
At this point, about dozen members
were on the floor at the same time, and
the excitement and confusion were over
whelming.
Mr.. Wooddell-I do not desire that the
report Of this Joint Committee be taken
up at this time. l do not wish It con-
sldered while there Is any excitement
My Committee did the very best we could
TO perfect road law, whether II will
meet your appreciation or not has yet "a
be seen. II the House believes that this
Is not the proper time for the consideration
Of this matter, l shall not press 1t.
