In consequence of the snow being

According to the century alma

WHEELING, Feb. oath, 1881.
The time of the Senate on Thurs
day the 18th, was principally taken
up with discussion of the proposal
Amendment to the Constitution,
prohibiting the manufacture or sale
of intoxicating liquors within the
State. The discussion was on the
resolution to indefinitely postpone.
A vote was finally had, and resulted
as follows: Those voting in the af-
firmative were, Dawson, Dennis,
Donehoo, Ewin, Faulkner, Maxwell,
McNeel, Newman, Roberts, Shelton,
Stollings, Stout, Van Meter, Will
liams and Woods-15.
Those voting in the negative were
Messrs. Summers, Barbee, Brown,
Dawson, Farnsworth, McGrew, Nc
Gregor, Samples and Smith,.
1t was then moved that the vote
by which the resolution was indefi-
nitely postponed be reconsidered and
that the vote be tabled. Carried.
This settles the matter for the
present session, at least.
In the House, the railroad contro-
versy was again resumed, brou ght
about by Speaker Wilson asking to
have correction made in the jour-
nal report of the proceedings of the
previous day. This brought Mr..
Morrow to his feet, and an acrimo-
NOUS discussion was had between
the Speaker and himself. The mat
ter was finally adjusted and quiet re-
stored, and the House proceeded to
the regular business.
The Justices of the Peace Bill was
taken up and adopted by vote 81
to 2. The bill takes effect from it's
passage.
In the Senate on Friday, but little
of Importance was transacted. The
bill concerning the State Board of
Health, was slightly amended and
ordered to engrossment and third
reading. The greater portion of the
time of the Senate was taken up in
reading the two hundred and forty
sections of the Justices Bill, and the
Senate adjourned when one hundred
sections had been read.
In the House, the following mes
sage in relation to the State School
Fund, from Hon. Joseph S. Miller,
Auditor, was received:
Gin response to resolution adopt
ed in the House, l submit the follow
ing report in regard to the School
Fund. Total amount invested
S4O3. S11 As. In addition to the fore
going amount of $403, 81 As, there is
in the Treasury at date to the credit
of the School Fund the sum of $27,-
SOC As. The investments named and
described were made by the Board of
the School Fund by orders entered OF
record, except the loan to the Hos
pital for the Insane, $40, 200, which
was made under authority of an act
passed February 20, 1879, entitled
IAN act making an appropriation for
the further construction of the West
Virginia Hospital for the Insane at
Weston and by order of the Board
of the School Fund.
The amount annually contributed
to the General School Fund, so far
as appears from the records of this
Office on account of the income from
said invested fund, is shown by the
following statement:

Martinsburg independent. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1875-1900, 1881-02-26

The total interest at this time
amounts to $27, 1855 Al.
That part of the interest for which
an appropriation has been made has
not been demanded. have not paid
the interest upon the loan to the
Hospital for Insane up to this time,
for the reason that there were other
more pressing demands to be provi-
ded for. This interest, as well as the
interest appropriated for at the last
session of the legislation, will, how
ever, be paid in a short time, and the
amount thereof will be included in
the apportionment of the General
School Fund for the present year."
The report was received and order
ed printed.
Several resolutions were offered,
