SENATE, ll.-ln the Senate pettlons
were presented from citizens of Holt, asking
for the passage of the Senate bill extending
the time of the charters of railroad companies
now about to expire. Referred. The House
hill known as the Harrigan bill in relation to
frauds, cheats, etc, was unanimously passed
by the Senate This practically puts quictus
on the swindlers and horse sharks infesting
the stables in st. Louis, and with whom the
rourts of st, Louis have had so much trouble
in the last three wears, it being hitherto al
most impossible to make an indictment stick.
IL is hoped that this bill will give the protec-
tion Desired. The following bills where intro
duced: To amend section of an act entitled
au act to define and conform the law of the
State to section % of article D of the constitu-
