cannot concur In the above report.
A. X. GRIM.
Mr.. Barham (CoalitionisD moved that
the report be laid on the table and printed.
Mr.. Thurman opposed the motion, and
said that the evidence had long been
printed, and that during all the session
the hands OF Mr.. Hurt had been tied from
voting in cOntested-eectiOn cases on ac-
count of this matter.
The vote resulted as follows:

trane, Digs, Edmunds. Flanary. Gaines, Grim

ANOTHER CoUPON-CRIPPLER.
Mr.. Wickham asked TO take up House
bill "to impose a condition upon all grants.
amendments, removals, or extensions OF
charters Of incorporation"
Agreed to.
The "condition" Is that they shall pay
all OF their dues to the State in money! not
i'm coupons.
Mr.. Bailey threw some doubt upon the
value of the bill, whereupon Mr.. Wick
him said that either the gentleman would
not or could not understand the bill. Mr..
Wickham was surprised that Mr.. Bailey,
who was one OF the fathers OF the Riddle
berger bill, was always obiecting and never
doing anything TO help the cause. MIR.
Bailey insisted that this bill, and others
proposed here. were worthless. Nr. Wick
ham asked him to suggest something bet
ter. Mr.. Bailey replied that that he had
already done; that he had told members
that constitutional amendment alone
could do the work, but he had Deen met
with the answer that that would take too
long time, and yet who ever supposed
that this debt could be settled in less than
four years? Mr.. Bailey said, however, that
he had voted for every debt bill proposed
here this session.
The bill was passed.
PRINTING NOT QUITE READY.
At O'Clock the Senate proceeded to con-
slider the Callahan-Rue ease, but 1t appear
ing that the majority report had not been
printed, and that the manuscript report
was still in the hands OF the printer, the
matter was passed by.
Very soon thereafter the printed reports
wanted were placed on the desks OF MEM
bers.
NORMAL SCHOOL.
MIR. Lovenstein, from the Committee on
Public Institutions, reported substitute
for Senate bill establishing normal school.
II provides that the school shall be for
girls, and be located at Farmyille, which
town, it is understood. will make the State
deed to the Female Institute buildings
there, represented 10 be worth $4,000.
Each county and city viii be entitled to
send as many students rs 1t is entitled to in
the House, but each county may send ut
least one student. The State will give all
the tuition free. Students pay their own
board.
The graduates must teach in the State
two years.
In view OF the fact that the State is now
educating free so many young men at
BIacksburg, at the Virginia Military In
stitute. and at the University, Il Is thought
that normal school for them is not now
needed.
