time and passed. to take effect from its

Inspecting Coal Mines.
Bill l52, providing for the inspection Of
mines, came up as the order of the day.
A substitute for the original bill, from
the Committee on Mines and Mining was
read by the clerk, on which some discus
sion arose through the objection of Mr..
Seabright founded upon the fact that the
bill does not apply to the mines in Ohio
county.
Mr.. Seabright moved TO strike out the
twelfth section which excluded Ohio coun.
ty from the operations of the bill.
Mr.. Ferguson explained that the reason
the bill was so framed was because il was
represented to the committee that the
mines in this locality were as carefully in
spected and in as good condition as could
be desired.
Mr.. Seabright reinforced his motion to
strike out with very earnest and eloquent
appeal to the House.
Mr.. Ferguson moved that the bill be re-
committed to the Judiciary Committee. and
he would give notice to all interested in
the bill that they could be heard before the
committee IL the bill did not suit them
Mr.. Kepner strongly opposed any delay:
He demanded square issue upon the bill
opponents of the bill to defeat it He
hoped when the bill was reported back a
fair and square vote would be had on it.
Mr. Ferguson Withdrew his amendment
and the motion of Mr.. Seabright to strike
out, was further discussed, after which. on
motion of Mr.. Quarter. the bill was ordered
to be printed and made the special order
for Thursday next at IL o'clock.
