Pee. Messrs. Moffett and Morrow were
on hand to do battle to Mr.. Wilson and

a small majority and the title agreed to.

all sides. Mr.. Riley demanded the pre-
vious question, and Mr.. Grsntham
called for the ayes and nays. All OF
this was sustained, and the motion to
lay on the table was lost. The next
question was, shall the vote be recon-
sidered by which the bill was passed,
which was also lost, and the passage OF
the bill was communicated to the Sem
ate.
And thus, it is thought, ends the rail-

The Speaker during the afternoon an

put in their appearance and call was
started but was declared of.

o'clock recess WAS taken until 7:30.
Evening Session.
Immediately after reassembling,
which was done promptly, there being
nearly all the members in the city pres
ent, business was resumed by taking up
the
Paving Bills
for the benefit of the city of Wheeling,
the titles OF which are as follows:

Both of these bills were passed with
their titles, both taking effect from their
passage. They are both bills prepared
under the Logan street resolution Of

past apparently being forgotten.

doubted il the members themselves
knew what was taking place. About IL
o'clock the call was ordered, an account
of which is found in another column.
