SPRINGFIELD His. Jan if-The legiSla-
tlue met at the appointed time Friday.
In the house the fight over the
speake rship was commenced Immediately
by Haines, who announced that
he should send a messenger to the senate III
viting that body to attenl at 10 O'Clock to
witness the count of the returns Of the re-
cent state election Fuller moved that the
house direct the messenger not to convey
the message, and this precipitated long de
bate, in which Haines was sustained by
Crafts and Dill, and opposed Ivy Baird, Ben
letta and others. Haines called Crafts
to the chair at II a. m,
and proceeded to speak, stopping at
10 and resuming at p. IN. lie once
talked seven hours, and was still on the floor
when this dispatch closed.
The senate transacted some general busi-
ness and adjourned until 10 a. IN. Monday
LATER-it was nearly 2 O'Clock when
Haines unexpectly quit talking, and then
Kimbrough, Fuller and Mcdonald took up
| the discussion At t p m. the discussion
was still under way. Hunger and thirst may
| tire the house into taking recess, but the
| present prospect is that the Republicans will
compel Haines and the Democrats to sit il
out, if it takes all the winter to bring the
matter to end. 1t has now apparently be
come a question of physical endurance.

An Exfr. Session Not Probable.

WASHINGTON CITY. Jan l1.-There is
no relialle lie foundation Tor the talk Of an
extra session Of congress to be called by Pres
ident Cleveland in May. Nothing could be
accomplished by an extra session, and
if the appropriation bills are all passed there
viii be no need for an extra session. All in
dications are that the money bills to carry on
the government will all he passed in the
proper time There is no legislation
that cannot wait The question of the
tariff is Of course the most important that
can come up, but that can stand even more
delay. It is admitted on all sides that the
present business depression can be eased ur
best by a legislative quiet instead of an agi
tatinn of INV kind.

TExAS'S FINEST ANIMAL.
Inner Facts or the Lir- and Death OF Peor
AyIesfsrd.

A Colorado (Tex.) telegram says :;
The Earl of Aylesford was liked and
pitied here at this centre Of the cattle
men. He was generally admired for his
splendid physical appearance, and it
was usual to speak Of him as the
- finest animal in Texas" He
seemed to be full of good nature,
without choice as to his companions,
deeply intimate with none, but on
free and easy terms with all. In busi-
ness transactions he lacked sense. He
put up 100000 earnest money for the
purchase of a bunch of cattle some
time ago without the slightest prospect
of being able to complete the purchase,
and the consequence was that he lost
his money. He won sympathy by this
transaction, because the generous cow
men thought that ne was too severely
treated.
He owned a small lot Of cattle near
Big Springs and lived upon his ranch in
a miserable little pine house. He was
a surprising consumer of whiskey and
brandy, and when he began to drink
he lost all regard for money. His sprees
were never marked by violence, and he
was always cared for by his more sober
acquaintances. lie dropped into the
Texas style gracefully and went
about in a flannel shirt, top
boots, big spurs, leather loggins,
Sombrero. and slicker. lie was fond of
hunting Mexican quail. prairie chicken,
and antelope, and eagerly shot all the
wolves he could get within range of.
Very little was known here of his do
mestic trouble. He dropped his title,
so that many did not know that he pos
sessed ore. He was called AyleSiord.
He had merry laugh, and was recog
nzed as jolly fellow at the bar.
There was something pathetic about
his life here when he was sober. He
would ride for hours and hours over the
prairies all alone. and at night would
walk about on his ranch looking up at
the sky, as though in reycrie. unbro-
ken save by the howl of the coyote. lie
was restless. and seemed to love A. well
as to hate England. lie was anxious
to become a cattle king. seeing the
growth of the business all around him.
but did not seem to be able to control
any large sum of money at one time.
When he went to England last year
he said he was going to sacrifice his
income for years for an advance large
enough to enable him to 90 into the
cattle business as he desired. The
cowboys were much attached to Ayles-
ford. They never can be made to be-
licye that the dead earl was other than.
as they express it, "a fellow who
tackled civilization and got tloorcd.
They can be trusted to look after
his interests until some one
comes to relieve them. His pro-
perty here is not large, and he
had not had it long enough to begin to
draw a revenue from it. 1t will take
some time to get the necessary papers
here authorizing the sale Of his ranch.
In the mean time the calves belonging
to him will be branded with his brand
at the next roundup, and the beef cat
tie Iill be shipped out in the spring for
the account of his estate. The general
comment upon his death is brief. It's,
- Poor Aylesford.

Tn the Ediior orMe Dispaich :

I'm the meeting of the Board of Al

resolution to the effect that the Com

dents of the city of Richmond, to adj
wise with the City Engineer and the
committee in making selection of a plan
for the City Hall.
Your report Of the proceedings in

resolution was offered by me. and gives
the tenor of remarks made in opposition
to it by two members of the Board,
with only the further statement that the
resolution was lost, leaving the impress

it. Your report says that Mr.. Williams

IN the hands Of irresponsible parties the
responsibility Of making a. a.selection, &c.

other thing, said. in response to Mr..
Williams. chairman of the Committee
on Grounds and Buildings That
after my brief experience IN the Coun-
ell it was my deliberate Judgment

seriously hampered by the way
committees were managed; that

their chairmcn. were continually resent

Grounds and Buildings were not archl-
tects, and they ought to call in experts
to their assistance. citizens OF Rlch-
mond. and equally interested in
the erection Of the City Hall a. the
members of the Council; that ! under
stood one of the members of the COM
mlttee had stated at the last meeting Of
the Common Council that the commit
tee or the Council had been fooled by a
mere STRIPPING, referring to a son of hr.
Myers that it was perfectly manifest
that if the proposition now made had
been adopted in the beginning the diff
Guilty in which the city was involved
and the delay would have been avoided,
as it was certain, in the light of
subsequent events, that no experts
with information on the subject
would have supposed that the
City Hall could be built on the Myers
plan for 100000. The experience al
ready had showed that the Council was
sadly in need Of expert advice on this
subject, and, moreover, | wanted to
give the people, through these expert
citizens. voice in the matter.
The resolution did not originate SOLE
ly with myself, and l do not wish it
supposed that it was left unsupported.

The reading was on Peculiar PeO-
pie /; or. In What Senses Christians Are
and Should BE Peculiar People"
Mr.. Needham said that he did not
mean to teach that Christians should be
eccentric, but that they should be so
chosen out of the world, purchased by
the blood of Jesus. and separated from
the world that they will be "a peculiar
people " in their worship, their service,
their reading, their spirit, their conduct.
and their hope.
Each one of these points was Illus
trated with appropriate passages of
Scriptures skilfully presented. the
whole making one of the most interest
ing and profitable of these services yet
held.
