By consent, at the opening of the after
noon session, Mr.. Brewster was recorded
as voting aye, and Mr.. Phil Kellev as
| oting ,, upon the roll call taken be e
the noon adjournment.
Special order for this session, the
| Temperance Committee bill, was consid-
cred in Committee of the Whole, Mr..
Osborn presiding. Mr.. Seitz moved
that the bill he indefinitely postp, ned.
Lost. Mr.. A. w. Smith then attempted
oget through recommendation of the
passage of the bill without consideration;
assisted by sir. Butter field. THIS being
opposed by Mr.. Drought, MIR. Bryant,
Mr.. Mcbride and Mr.. McNall did not
prevail; and the bill was considered by
section. On motion of Mr.. Bryant the
fee of the Probate Judge for issuing per-
mits to druggists Was reduced from five to
two dollars. An effort was made to strike
out the provision giving Proba'e
judges discretion in granting permits,
|
II n the minimum Imprisonment of
physicians who abnse their right to pre-
scrlbe, was charged from thirty to ten
days. During the next hour many
amendments were offered and as quickly
voted down. Some of these were offered
in good faith by warm friends OF the bill,
who evidently desired 10 make the law
strong and effective. On MIR. Mccain
mons motion clause was inserted to
| prevent more than one sale or delivery
upon the same prescription or statement
| An effort was perslstentIy made bv Rep
resentatives of cities of the fir, class to
! amend so as to permit license tax of
twenty-five dollars a month on druggists
in such cities, but without avail.
A long discussion was had over the
| clause in the bill permitting the manu-
| facture of wine and cider from fruit grown
| b.; the party making either Mr.. AnthO-
| ny wanted t" strike it out. Mr.. Hatfield
and Mr.. Faulkner wanted to strike out
the wine and leave the cider in Mr.
b. johnson defended both and a vote
was forced upon the section preventing
| any vote upon these wine and cider
questions separately.
On motion of Mr. Finch, "mavOrs" was
stricken from the list of public officers
whose duty it is under the bill to keep
the count, attorney posted on violations
of this law.
Mr.. Buck, Mr.. Gillett and Mr.. Over
myer, attacked the provision of the bill
for the seizure and destruction of proper
ty without trial and without sworn COM
plant. Mr. Vance answered by point
ing out trail in what seems like laby-
rinth. A crooked trail.
Pending further discussion. the COM
mlttee arose and reported this bill back,
with the recommendation that the bill
be placed on third reading, subject to
amendment and debate.

A New Orleans special says: In re-
sponse 70 an invitation Of the Director
General Of the Worlds Exposition, inc
following was received to-day
BEAuvorR, MISS, March l6, 1883.
To. s. H. Bmek, Esq, Direcfor-ce"e-
raj:
NV Dear Sir.--Yours of the 18th
instant. inviting me 10 be present at the
Exposition grounds on the 18th proxl-
mo, Mississippi day, has been received.
I anxiously hoped TO be present on that
occasion, and regret that severe illness
still dctains me at home. From infancy
TO old age have been Mississippian.
She has been to me kind mother, and
my warmest affection has ever chung to
her and her people. In my boyhood
she gave me TO the service OF the United
States. During long periods of absence
in the United States military and civil
service il has been my pride to repre-
sent her, and il would have been most
gratifying TO me TO be present on the
day especially dedicated to her in the
Worlds Exposition.
Allow me to congratulate yOn and
your associates on the eminent success
which has attended your labors in the
great work you undertook. They have
much misconceived the scope and pur-
pose Of your design who have measured
by financial standard or supposed that
the object was merely for local advan-
tage. Whoever looks at the breadth OF
your achievement must learn that yours
was higher and nobler aim, and adj
nit that you have wonderfully attained
it. Those who knew the Southwest
when it was the abode only Of
sayages and wild beasts may bet
ter appreciate its wonderful de-
velopment, but those who come from
afar may equally admire the richness of
its productions and the artistic tastes
with which they are displayed. The
instructive and iraternizing effect of this
Worlds Exposition may be better
imagined than estimated. oyour As
sociation will belong and must be con-
cedcd the merit Of having periodically
striyen TO make broad and plain the
paths Of progress and of peace.
Allow me as one of the many TO
offer my sincere thanks for what you
have done and are doing, and believe
me to be. very respectfully. your friend,

der Of q step-daughter. The jury in
the case found q verdict Of murder in
the second degree and gave her eight
years in the penitentiary.
The season for burning plant-bcds is
now far advanced and the smoke from
fires is seen in every direction, eviden-
cling a disposition on tho part Of farmers
TO enter largely into the cultivation OF
tobacco for the coming season. The
advance in price having somewhat
stimulated the planters, you may look
for q large crop from this section.
The winter has been very unfavora-
bic for wheat and oats, and these crops
are looking badly. The spring is late
in opening and farm work is much re-
tarded.

DI ING WITH UEE SECRET.
A Youthfni Wife Cuts Her Throat Tor Some
Unexplained Cause.

Unexplained Cause.
A Chicago special says When
William Riley returned to his home at
No. lo4 north Union street last night,
be found his wife in bed with her
throat cut from car TO ear. On the
floor was large pool Of clotted gore.
A razor found in the bed was the
weapon which the woman had used.
She was still alive and conscious when
her husband arrived, and by shakes
of her head intimated that she
had attempted to commit suicide.
\ physician was called as soon a.
possible, and he sewed up the gashes.
The woman imagined that by severing
the windpipc she would kill herself, and
had hacked ii in several places, with
out, however, Seyering an artery. There
was considerable hemorrhage when the
doctor called, and for fear she would
strangle he inserted small silver tube.
This morning she was still living. but
had cvaded the eyes of the watchers
eiih WIN ONt NllC WHICH
closed up the wounds. She was taken
10 the county hospital.
Mrs. Riley. nee Della Fitzgerald, is
handsome young woman Of Irish de-
scent, and is the daughter Of well-to-
do farmer near Lemoni. She has a
pleasing face, with dark, hazel eyes,
and an even set of teeth. Tier huS-
band, who is braSs-iinisher, is an hon
es,-looking young man Of about twenty
live years. lie said they had been
married just seven weeks yesterday.
and have been living happily. Lately.
however, they had given up boarding
and went TO housekeeping, and he
thought his wife did not Ike the change.
To the doctor, however. she confessed.
by signs, that there was another and a
more potent reason, but what IL was
she refused TO tell. and as she cannot
speak her secret remains locked in her
own breast. The physician has no
hope Of her surviving.
