SENATE.

When tn. senate convened yesterday a
surprise was in store for the older mem
bers, it being an old-fashioned prayer and
devotional exercise by Rev. Josiah Marvin,
who was chaplain of the senate during the
sessions of 1870, 1871, 1872 and 1873.
Notwithstanding the fact that the devo
tionaI exercises were calculated to make
every one solid before the throne of
grace, the chaplain pro tenn.
being a Uniyersalist clergyman, senators
were i'll at ease and two calls
of the senate we're necessary at different
times during the day to secure a quorum
for the transaction of business.
The house bill authorizing the city of
st. Paul to make donation of $4,000 to
the widow and children of Policeman
O'Connell, who was killed by burglars
while in the discharge of his duty, passed
the senate and now awaits the signature OF
the governor.
The bill relating to chattel mortgages
on grain also passed, and its provisions
are such as to destroy the lien of such
mortgage after the grain has been threshed
and passed into the hands of an innocent
purchaser.
Legislative visitations to the state insti
tutions commenced yesterday, when COM
mittee of numerous senators and repre-
sentatives made an inspection of the re-
form school. This morning the committee
on hospitals for the insane, and such other
senators and representatives as desire to
accompany them, visit the institution at st.
Peter, and thence, if trains are running on
time, will so to Rochester. These junket-
ings Will not be so numerously attended as
formerly, the senatorial contest having
consumed so much of legislative attention
that economy of time is now imperatively
necessary to the proper performance of the
work of the session.

The johnson Murder Trial.

The trial of Ole Sorenson, indicted for
the murder of fellow countryman named
johnson, was resumed in the district court
yesterday morning. Judge Wilkin pre-
sided and the court room was filled with
Swedes and Norweigans friends of the.pris-
oner interested in the outcome of the trial.
The examination of witnesses was con-
tinued, those testifying. being John Lin
stad, Chas. Houghton, John Crownstead,
Fred Hayes and Warner Ropp. In the af-
ternoon counsel for the state and prisoner
summed up, the jury being addressed by
County Attorney Egan for the state and
John W. Willis for the prisoner.
The latter made long and exceedingly
able argument. The case was given to
the jury about O'Clock and up to late
hour last night they had not agreed upon
q verdict.

Another Big Purchase.

Mr.. Charles Lockhart, the president of
the Standard Oil company, gentleman of
immense wealth who resides in the East,
appears to have great confidence in st.
Paul. A few months ago it was recorded
in these columns that he had purchased the
Nicols & Dean corner, on the northwest
corner of Third and Sibley streets,
the same having front on
Third street of sixty-four feet,
for $4,000 cash. This property was i'm
mediately leased for long term of years
to Messrs. Maxfeld & Seabury for their
grocery house. The same gentleman has
now purchased the adjoining thirty feet
west of his former purchase for which he
paid $4,000 cash. The store on the lot
just purchased is occupied by Messrs.
Merrill, Sahlgaard & Thwing, Wholesale
druggists. This purchase makes 100000
cash that Mr.. Lockhart has put into real
estate in ST. Paul within few months.
Messrs. Maxfield & Seabury have leased
this store also and will have another story
put upon the whole property giving them
front of ninety-four feet on Third street,
four stories high. The block is of good
depth. When completed this firm will
have one of the largest and most conven-
lent stores in the Northwest.

THE HOUSE.

The house went promptly to work yes
terday, and by holding a morning and af-
ternoon session got through with a reason
able amount of business.
There were eighteen bills introduced in
the house, bringing the total number to
the present time up to 238.
Mr.. Boardman's bill making it misde-
to procure liquor by deceit, was reported
favorabIy from the temperance committee
with an amendment making the minimum
and maximum fines to be imposed SO and
$25 in both cases, and limiting the!impris-
onment in case of failure to pay the fines
imposed to three months.
The speaker, in accordance with resolu-
tons adopted, appointed j. R. Bennett,Jr.,
clerk of the finance committee, and w.
G. Anderson, clerk of the railroad com
mittee.
The bills appropriating 100000 for
finishing and furnishing the capitol, and
appropriating $4,000 annually for the
board of immigration, were recommended
for passage in committee of the whole, no
opposition to either developing.
The first general bill to cover the special
legislation prohibited by the constitutional
amendment, was introduced by Mr.. Hicks
yesterday-a measure regulating the re-
moval of county seats. The bill provides
that to secure such removal majority of
the legal voters must first petition the
county commissioners, who thereupon shall
give notice when the petitioners and OPP
ponents may be heard, and majority of
the commissioners deciding to favor the
removal, the question shall be submitted
to the electors at a general or special cleo
ton, and if a majority of all voting shall
be in the affirmative the removal shall be
made.
The joint committees Of the senate and
house upon state insane asylums, will leave
to inspect those institutions at 8 o'clock
this morning, going first to Rochester and
thence to st. Peter.
Mr.. Collins announced that the
normal school committees of the two bod
les would visit the school at st. Cloud,
leaving at o'clock this evening, and ex-
tended an invitation to such members as
could to accompany the committee and
accept the hospitality of the citizens of
st. Cloud.
Among the bills that will undoubtedly
meet with general favor, is one prepared
by the judiciary committee and intro
duced by Mr.. Cole, giving persons accused
of crime, if arrested when courts are not
in session, to be taken before the Judge,
plead guilty and receive their sentence,
thus relieving such persons of weeks, and
oftentimes months, of confinement before
being brought to trial.
Among the bills from the senate yester.
dayl was one appropriating $4,000 to
reimburse certain parties in the Grant
county seat contest. When it was read
Mr.. Wells, who represents the district, had
the bill referred to him, and later reported
it back with a recommendation that it be
indefinitely postponed, which motion pre-
vailed, and thus ended the life of one
woodchuck,
In committee of the whole, Mr., Mer-
RAMS bill increasing the contingent fund
of the public examiner from $1,000 to

clerk, was recommended to pass

TAXATION OF RAILROAD LANDS.
The railroad committee, through Mr..
Sabin, chairman, made a report recon-
mending for passage the bills continuing
the charter of the Duluth & Iron Range
railway, and reviving the land grant for the
Anoka q Princeton railroad were recon
mended for passage; also recommending the
indefinite postponement of the bills in
troduced by Mr.. Brown for the taxation of
certain railroad lands, and that making
railroad companies responsible for INJURIES
inflicted upon an employee by the carless-
ness of another. The accommodation as
to the first named bill was antagonized nv
Mr.. Brown, who moved to amend. that the
bill be ordered printed and referred to the
committee of the whole, in support of which
he SAID that this bill is one of very great
important to the people and the tax-pay-
ers OF this state. There are within the
limits OF the state many millions of acres
OF lands that have been granted by the
federal government to certain railroad
corporations to aid them in building and
operating railroads within this state with
the view of opening up and developing
the grand resources of the state and has.
tening its speedy settlement, and to enable
these railroad corporations the more eff
fectually to accomplish the purposes of
their creation. These lands, by one of
the provisions of the act of congress
granting them, were exempted from all
taxation by the state until such
time as the corporation should have
disposed of the same. By the terms of
these grants, the lands were conveyed to
these corporations for specified purpose,
which was to aid them in building and
operating these roads, and it was not
dreamed of that the lands would be held.
or attempted to be held for any other pur-
pose, least of all for the purpose of private
gain and speculation. But what is the
condition of things that now presents it
self? These companies, for instance the
st, Paul d Sioux City, the Winona & st.
Peter, and others, have long since sold and
conveyed their charter, roadbed, franchise
and everything that appertaIns to them

THE BURNED BUILDING

THE BURNED BUILDING
was three-story solid brick structure sur
mounting a stone basement, and being in
turn surmounted by mansard roof which
virtually made it a five story building. The
distance between floors was fourteen feet
in the clear, so that the building doomed
up solid and grand, and from its location
was landmark from any point of obser-
walton for miles around.
IT'S INTERIOR.
The basement was used for heating
purposes, the steam heater as has been
before stated being located there
unfortunately as the sequel proved),
and rooms for storage, cooking and other
purposes.
On the first floor hall twelve feet wide
extended the entire length of the building,
ITO feet, on either side of which were
rooms occupied as reading rooms, library
and museum, reception rooms, music
rooms and Office rooms for the president
and faculty. On the second floor were rec
itation rooms, and study rooms,
while the third floor contained
the large and beautiful chapel,
which could seat 700 persons. On the
fourth floor were seventy rooms and apart
ments for the use of students, about
twenty of whom at the time of the fire
we're rooming on the different floors of
the building. The several apartments
of the building were high and we'll venti-

The value of the building and fixtures
destroyed was about 100000, $4,000 of
which represents the actual cost of the
building. The damage occasioned by the
removal of the contents can be better esti-
mated in the future, but it is safe to say
will reach quite an important figure, as
that of the laboratory, for instance, is a
total wreck.
