Ha.ehing More pevIlment.

Washington, March 20.-A novel
plan of procedure is tonight under dis
cussion by prominent democratic lead
ers. 1t is that both branches of con-
gress, after passing the appropriation
bills, with the political provisions in
cluded, shall suddenly adopt concur
rent resolution by the terms of which
they will take recess until the end of
next November, thus leaving with
President Hayes the appropriation
bills, to be signed or not, just as he
may or may not be willing to assume
an individual responsibility of allowing
the needs of the public service to re-
main unprovided for during the first
five months of the fiscal year. This
proposition is of course based upon the
fact that the president may constitu-
tionally approve the bills during any
interregnum in the sittings Of congress,
which has not been preceded by for
NAL adjournment of a session, and also
upon the assumption that the president
cannot convene congress during such
recess. This assumption is not appar-
emily well founded, and it is hardly
probable that the novel suggestion will
long attract attention.

SUNDAY EXCURSIONS.
A Warm Little War Carried Oh at
Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Sept. 2.-The local au-
thorites here have been trying to enforce
the laws and stop Sunday excursions. To
defeat them the excursion steamers have
been applying at the Post-olfice for the
mails on Sunday, although their contracts
are for six days in the week. For several
SUNDAYS the mails we're delivered to these
boats for transportation. Yesterday this
was stopped by the following letter from
Second Assistant Pos master General
"It is customary for this Department to
authorize more frequent service than is re-
quired of the contractor for carrying the
mail when he offers to perform it without
additional charge, but in the present case
it is we'll understood and admitted that the
sole reason that the contractor desires to
carry the Sunday mail to Talchester Beach
is that he may be thus enabled to violate
the law of the State of Maryland, which
forbids Sunday excursions, but can not in
terfere with carrying the United States
mails. This Department does not propose
to allow it's authority to be used in any
case as shield for violation of the loca
law"

TWISTED IT'S TAIL.
How a Kentucky Boy Stirred Up the
Animals.

Special to the Star.
PADucAH KY, Sept. 2. - The Trans
Atlantic Show exhibited at Mayfield,
Graves County, last Saturday. In the
street parade man appeared in an iron
cage with two lions A mischievous boy,
seeing the lions tail hanging out between
the bars, slipped up and gave it twist.
This so incensed the king of beasts that
he gave vent to horrible roar and sprung
upon his keeper with jaws extended.
The man defended himself as best
he could, but the enraged animal
seized his victim and lacerated him terri
bly,, tearing the flesh from his arm, side
and legs. Thekceper only saved his life bv
thrusting an iron bar down the lions
throat, and finally subdued the beast with
his pistol.
The man was then taken from the cage
amid great excitement, and he will proba-
bly, recover, as no bones were broken. This
is the second time the lion has attacked his
trainer.

LONGyIEW ASYLUM DISPUTE.
DR.. Charles Miller Ousted as Superin'
tendent.

The agony over the position of Supern-
tendent of Longview Asylum is settled.
Dr. Charles Miller, who, after being perse-
cuted time and again with the purpose of
having him ousted, is no longer Superin-
tendent
He had an investigation by Committee
from the House of Representatives, who
thought there was something wrong at
Longyiew. He then had another investi-
cation by a Senate Committee, who found
nothing wrong.
The Board of Directors after the latter
Committee left, preferred charges against
DR.. Miller, and thereupon removed him.
DR.. Miller applied to the Courts for an
Injunction to stay further proceedings.
The case, several weeks ago, was argued
pro and con. and to-day Judge Fayette
Smith delivered his decision, which Gusts
DR.. Miller.
The court held that the Legislature had
authority to investigate all charges
against any officer of Longview Asylum,
including the uperintendent. Charges had
been preferred against DR.. Chas. Miller, the
same had been investigated by legislative
committees, and that one Of the charges OF
extreme cruelty to any of the inmates
was brought forward and this was
sufficient to merit investigation. Tes.
timony to sustain the charge had
been introduced, and this Court could not
pretend to pass upon the credibility OF the
witnesses heard. The Board of Directors
must decide that for themselves. There
was no evidence that the Board was
dishonest or corrupt, and DR.. Miller
had invited an honest investigation. The
court could, therefore, not enjoin further
action by the Directors, and must there
fore dismiss the injunction. This, there
| fore, Gusts DR.. Miller.
The Board of Directors are this evening
holding meeting for the purpose OF elect
ing new Superintendent.
The decision o. Jhe Court is causing con
siderable comment.
Up to the time of our going to press nj
action had been taken by the Directors a
to electing new Superintendent.
