REYNOLDS moved 10 take the Judiciary
resolution from the table and place il
before the House for its consideration,
which motion prevailed.
Mr.. Bradford wanted 10 90 into Com
mittee OF the Whole for the purpose Of
discussing il, giving as his reason that
the previous question nor the ayes and
noes could be demanded, and matters
thus facilitated.
Judge Stuart opposed it for the same
reasons. He wanted record Oi every
vote, and thought the members wanted
"their people" 10 know how they voted.
He considered the call for the main
question good thing in it's place, mem-
bers might talk for ever.
The question was then put and the
House refused To go into Committee of
the Whole.
Mr.. Reynolds moved TO amend by
striking out twenty and inserting fifty
dollars as the sum over which the Cir
cult Court could have original iurisdic-
ton. This had been determined by the
caucus and received the loyal support OF
the Changers and few lawyers. Most
Of the latter, however. led by Mr. Brad
ford, bitterly opposed and denounced
il. But weight Of numbers won the day,
and the amendment was adopted by a
vote Of AZ 10 -. The grmgcrs, calmly
conscious Oi their strength, listened
very compOsedly 20 the arguments Of
their opponents and had little to say in
reply, but when the matter came to 4
vote they argued AYE" in an Irresistible
way.
The ballot stood "a follows:

NENIA, OHIO.
The Soldiers Orphan Asylum
Burned.

COLUMBUS, February l5.-At seven
o'clock this morning fire was dis
covered in the basement of the admin
istration building OF the Soldiers
Orphans Home near Nenia. Owing TO
the poor facilities for cxtinguishing the
fire and the distance OF the building from
the town, the fire got under full head
way before the engines arrived. The
six hundred children at the home
had just finished breakfast in the
main building and returned to their cot
tages when the fire made its appearance
in the first story. Owing TO the dense
smoke which at once filled the halls,
the widest confusion prevailed among
the teachers, who vainly sought To TO.
turn to their rooms in the third story TO
save their personal effects.
Several members oi the Legislature
visiting the institution narrowly cs-
capped with their lives. Senator Rich
ards and wife escaped by dropping
from the second story win
dow on to blankets held by
men below. senator Sabins and
wife, Representative Dodds and Mrs.
Ben. Ford, wife Of the steward, saved
themselves by leaping from the second
story windows on To the porch below,
from whence they dropped to the ground
in safety. In two hours the entire
building and contents was destroyed,
including the personal effects OF teachers
and officials. which were considerable.
No lives were lost and no serious acci-
dents are reported. The loss to the
State by the fire will bc about S75, 900,
upon which there was no insurance.
Tho nrigin OF the fire is unknown.
