CHAIRMAN, anu Representatives MCH rs

Icy, to prepare report for adoption.
This report is not yet quite complete,
and it is not known whether it will meet
the views of the full committee. AL.
though the members are very reticent, it
is believed that the subcommittee will
report in favor of the completion Of the
canal, according to the original plan,
with the dam at Bull Sluice. Some
members of the full committee are un.
derstood to favor stopping the canal at
Cemetery Hill, opposite the city, point
now nearly reached, and dammipg the
river at that point. This would take a
little less time but would involve the
building of an enormous dam and would
overflow the sites owned by the State,
and probably endauger the Broad River
bridge, 1t is improbable that the aban-
donment of work will be recommended.
It is understood to be the belief of the
majority of the committee that as much
work as was to be expected has not been
done on the canal, but there seems to be
no disposition to charge the mismanage-
ment to any one. 1t may as we'll be
realized that there will be lard fight
by many members to stop work ON the
canal, or to cripple it as much as posi-
BILE.
The committee on railroads have con.
solidated their report in favor of the
most important amendatory measures
that have been introduced this session on
the subject. These are: 1. Bill to
repeal the Act of December 81, 1882.
and all Acts amendatory thereto. 2.
Bill to repeal section l,442 of the Gene
raj Statutes relating to discrimination by
railroad companies. 8. Bill to amend
the Act of December 81, 1882, and to
reduce the number of railroad commits
sioners. 4. Bill to repeat section ! 1,453
of the General Statutes providing the
mode of payment of the railroad COM
missioners. On all these bills the COM
mittee report unfavorably, with dissent
ing report by Mr.. F. w. McNIaster.
The majority report says: "While the
committee is divided in opinion as to
the wisdom Of the legislation heretofore
had on this subject, their conclusion is
that at this time it is unwise and mex
pedient to make any radical changes
therein. The best mode oil protecting
the people against unjust discrimina-
tions and oppressive charges, without
unduly interfering with private rights of
property, has not been conclusively set.

questions.

About how much are You WORTH"
"Well, I should say my fortune would
cover $4,000, 900 at least"
"Quite a respectable amount. How
is it invested?"
United States bonds"
"Ah, yes; safe investment; and the
entire amount will go to your daughter
at your death?"
Every cent of it."
"Quite right. Well, have had some
little conversation with the young lady
with regard to our Forthcoming mar
riage, and she suggested that I had bet
ter mention the matter to you"
"You are both very kind" replied
the old gentleman, meekly. Would
it be presumptuous on my part if !
were to ask you who you are?"
Certainly not, sir. You possess that
right undoubtedly. I am one OF the
directors of the New York Coaching
club and will drive third in line in our
Fifth avenue parade next May"

emotion for q moment and then, in Q
