ever have you in better place than now, if that
were our purpose. What we want to know is
that the money of the State is safe. So far as
canoe goes / will most heartily give him my co-
operation, for believe he has done honor to the
Senate and to the Democratic party of Indiana
in demanding that investigation. This Yesolu-
ton as to tho investigation we are, to man,
lection to that preamble. It is not our business
as Senate to decide a case before we have in
vestigated it We have no business to pronounce
him innocent An opinion as to guilt or limo
cence would disquaiify any man from sitting on
jury, and it is hardly competent for the Senate
to express that opinion before making an inquiry.
TIL the contrary is proven against him.
The resolutions were ruled out of order by the
Lleutenant-govern upon the point being raised
concurrent matter to be referred to a Senate
committee.
A half hour was occupied by Senator McCul-
ocrats.

PROPOSED LAW
Maxim & 1t Felony for an Insolvent Bank to
Receive DEPOSITS.

Maxim g 1t a Felony for an Insolvent Bank to
Receive Deposits.
1--WE have accomplished nothing whatever,
to-day" was the remark Of disguised senator
yesterday afternoon when the Senate adjourned.
1t seems likely that the whole of the regular
session will result in all talk and no legislation
The morning was occupied yesterday with the
continued discussion upon the committee reports
on the Treasury investigation, and in the after
noon the full extent Of the proceedings was an
unfruitful debate On Senator Shiveley's bill,
regulating the practice Of medicine, and on
the proposed reduction Of the legal rate of
interest on school fund loans from
to 6 per cent. Conclusive action on the doc
tors bill was postponed until next Friday morn
ing, when it will come up for consideration as a
special order. After discussing the interest bill
nearly the whole of the afternoon, it was re-
ferred to the committee on judiciary to consider
the question of the constitutionality of the pro-
posed reduction in the rate ON loans.
PROPOSED BANKING LEGISLATION
The necessity of more stringent laws regulat
ing the banking business suggested in the feat
ures of some Of the losses resulting from the
bank failures that have occurred in different
parts of the country in the last few months, has
caused the introduction of a bill in the House by
Representative Jameson, which is of general i'm
portance and merits the popular commentator
which its enactment would receive The pro-
visions of the bin make it criminal offense for
any banker to draw drafts on another bank
without having the money deposit, and it is
made felony for any banker to receive deposits
when in an insolvent condition. The penalty is
fixed at not less than two years Imprisonment
nor more than ten, with the addition
of a fine of not less than 81 000 and dis
reimbursement for not more than twenty years.
bill making it a criminal offense to receive de-
posits when bank is insolvent, was also intro
dueed in the Senate yesterday afternoon, by
Senator Duncan of Brown. The feeling seems
to prevail among the legislators that there ought
to be law of the character proposed. and it is
believed that from the two bills introduced
one will be pr epared which will pass.
WAR AGAINST INSURANCE CONTACTS.
Representative Gordon introduced bill yes
terday which proposes to prohibit the formation
of insurance boards in the cities and towns of
Indiana for the purpose of regulating the rates
of insurance The measure is the outgrowth of
the popular complaints against the rates which
are fixed by the local compacts in different
places. 1t is not improbable that there will be
some proposed legislation prohibiting rate pro-
tecting compaets in other classes of business.

THE TREASURES BOND.

The conference committee representing the
Senate and House yesterday morning reported
compromise agreement, fixing the amount of the
State Treasurer's bond at 100000 The bill
that originally passed the House made the
amount 81. 100000 which was reduced by the
Senate to $500, 600. The compromise on 500, 900
was concurred Ill by both the Senate and House,
and the bill fixing the bond at that mount
passed The action upon the matter was urgent,
because the present term of the Treasurer will ex-
pire next Tuesday and he Will then be requested
to furnish a new bond Under the provisions
of the new law he must have twenty sureties
worth double the amount of the bond

The London Cowhiding Case.

LONDON, Aug. 13.-NIr. Francis, the gen.
tleman who yesterday logged Mr.. Pearce,
of the Glasgow shipbuildiDg firm of John
Elder & Brothers, for the alleged betrayal
of the formers daughter, to-day instituted a
criminal action against Mr.. Pea7ce. Satur-
day the latter explained the difficulty to a
reporter of the Pail Mall Gazette by saying
that the charge Of seduction was false, and
that the whole thing was but n caae of black
mail of peculiarly bad kind. For this
statement Mr.. Francis brings his action.
He says he thought that Pearce had done
him wrong sufficiently cruel in betraying
his daughter under the guise Of friend
ship, without adding the insult OF de-
scribing the family as blackmailers.
Mr.. Pearce is a rich conservative and had
been selected by the Tories to stand as their
candidate for Glasgow IT. tho coming cleo.

FEARS OF A TooTHLEss FUTURE.-The
American tooth, the dentists tell us, is some.
thing fast disappearing. What is to take
its place they leave to conjecture. Whether
a toothless race is on its way, or whether a
new animal is to be evolved from the pres
emit human creature on this continent, is,
perhaps, an open question. Whatever it is
that may come to pass, the fancy recois be.
fore the prospect. Children of twelve years
often have one hundred dollars worth of
gold in their mouths, others needing as much
quite as badly, but unable to afford the out
lay. Children of sixteen often wear COM
plete sets of false teeth, and other children
innumerable have teeth that are decayed
before they penetrate the gum, and that
have to be filled as soon as they are in sight,
the crumblng material and thin enamel
even then giving bnt little to work upon.
At first it was thought all this resulted
from ignorance, from candy eating, from
want of care and cleanliness; but it is under
stood now that in most cases the fault is in
herent in the quality of the tooth, and the
only remedy so far suggested is a diet cal
culated with especial reference to the maxi
ing of sound bone. This is supposed to be
found in the coarse grains and food of SINH
lar character, and the most confirmed beef
eater alive yields to the superiority at this
point OF the little kernel of grain that feeds

Werfelman, who in 1882 lived in New York.
In November Of that year his wife, Meta,
died, and by some mistake her first name
was recorded in the Bureau of Vital Statist-
les as Margaret. The mistake remained
uncorrected. The widower went TO Ger
many, and lately undertook to marry again.
The authorities required proof that his first
wife was dead, but refused to consider Mar
garet the equivalent Of Meta, and declared
officially, for want of official evidence of
Metals death, that she was still living. Pro-
testations did not avail, and Werfelman re-
mains unmatched. If his second love has
patience and faith enough to wait until all
the necessary formalities and legal techni-
calities requisite to make a change in the
official record are gone through with, she
may yet become Mrs. .Werfelman, and her
husband will be purged of the suspicion
that he intended to commit bigamy.

Crime in an Irlane AaYlum.

Some days since Henry I. Bracque, a
painter, was arrested at Williamsburg, Va,
on the charge of having taken advantage Of
q female patient at the State insane asylum
there, from which she has become enciente.
| Bracque, since his arrest, has made charges
against the superintendent and assistant Of
having made improper proposals to the
same lady. The matter has caused intense
excitement in the community, the high FAM
| lily position Of The victim making it the more
noticeable. Yesterday Or. ]. D. Moncure,
tho superintendent, published card, giving
history Of the sud affair. He states that
Bracque was employed to do some painting,
and, appearing faithful, was transferred to
the female wards, in preference to two
young painters DR.. Moncure states that
about nine weeks ago Bracque was reported
10 him for violating the rules in conversing
through the windows with female il
male. He was warned and plead ignol-
ancc. Another time the lady escaped from
scrvico in the chapel, and was seen with
Bra, que at the wood pile. A third time
they were seen together, after which Bracque
was dismissed. DR.. Moncure further says ::
'Ou the 2G b of July a male attendant
brought me a letter, which, he said, had
uSeD lOuuu III MI. pOSScSSlOU.
This letter was written by this same female
patient, and addressed to 'Henry'-Mr
Bracqne's given name-confessing that she
was euciente, and that Henry was the father
Of the child. Fearing from past events TINT
she wrote the truth, placed the letter at
once before Capt. Bright, the only resident
member of the board Of directors, and Mr..
SouthalI, the Mayor of Williamsburg. After
consultation, they concluded we had no le-
gal evidence, and directed that the PATIENTS
roam and person be examined. On the pa
TENTS person was found letter of eight
pages, written by Bracque, confessing his
crime. but in terms so lewd and vile that it
is unfit for publication. Subsequently it was
discovered that Bracquo had written let
ter to the lady's father, in which he urged
him TO take the lady away, as she was no
longer insane. He said in this letter. i do
not hesitate to state that your daughter has
been the object of the meanest and vilest
propositions from Dr.. Clopton, and after
wards from the superintendent, DR.. Mon
cure, of the asylum, such as delicacy forbids
me to mention"
DR.. Moncure says: "Prior to the fire the
male and female departments were closely
connected, and the yards opened with no
divisions of any kind between them that
in the past similar accidents had happened,
in spite of the utmost vigilance. Years ago
it occurred here, and the child borne here of
insane parents only died last winter"

In THE Farmers convention in Richmond

In THE Farmers convention in Richmond,
ycsterday,a resolution was introduced which
should have been adopted mem. con. de-
nouncing the custom Of receiving free passes
over the railroads of the State by members
of the Legislature and Judiciary,n the most
unqualified manner, and pledging the con-
vention to use it's influence and all means in
IFS power to put an end to this demoralizing
custom. The indiscriminate granting of
free passes to the members of the Legisla-
ture does more to demoralze that body than
ANYTHING else
