Report of the Committee Engaged in Inves-

Special to the indianapolis Journal

Report of the Committee Engaged in Inves-
tiganng the Bribery Gases.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
SPRINGFIELD, June 24-The House committee
engaged in investigating the bribery cases re-
ported this evening. The committee stated
that Mr.. Hanes had sent Mr.. Tubbss
affidavit back TO that gentleman, and
they had great difficulty in obtaining informa-
ton; and that the affidavit set forth how Mr.
B aker I'D offered to defeat the telegraph bill
notably, the one introduced by Mr.. Linegar-for
So, 500. Mr. Tubbs was finally got before
the committee, and testified that Baker made
such proposition to him. On the other hand,
they have the direct denial of Mr.. Baker. AS to
the truth or falsity of the charges, the commit
tee leaves it for the House to decide.
AS to the charge that Mr.. Campbell,
of Hamilton, had been purchased in
the interest of certain butter bills by com
mittee from Elgin the committee gave the
testimony of Bartholomew, of the com
mittee, which states that HuntZ, treasurer
of the Elgin company, told him he had
paid in all, TO Hamilton, $1,1O0 for
not be got before the committee, but the com
mittee of opinion that enough testimony is
in their possession to cause the Indictment of
said Huntz for attempting to corrupt members
In regard to the charges against Bruce Ken
nedy and his connection with the canal claims
bill, they state that there is no evidence damag-
ing to that gentleman, but that the report that
he had been influenced In the interest of the
bill arose only through a thoughtless joke.
When the report was read, Speaker Haines
took the floor and defended his position, at the
same time arraigning the committee for putting
such report into the House. which, he claimed,
was intended to besmirch honorable
members of the House. He spoke for nearly
two hours, and was followed by Mr. Baker, who,
in few very caustic remarks, characterized
Mr. Tubbs, who accused him of having tried to
sell himself out, as an infamous liar and per-
jurer.
Mr.. Campbell, of Hamilton also denied to the
House the charges which had been preferred
against him. He explained, further, how
it that he became interested
in the butter bill, and averred that, so far as he
was concerned, there was never cent of money
paid out in it's interest
Mr. Messick moved that the report Of the COM
mittee be received and placed on the table, the
committee discharged and no record of it spread
upon the journal of the House.
At 10 p NJ. the House adjourned.

AC SAtu"tAOAs
Men and teams we've yesterday busy get
ting the streets in shape after the hard
usage they had from the storm of the pre-
vious morning. At the corner of Main and
Myrtle streets considerable progress has
been made, although there are thousands of
yards of sand there still awaiting removal.
Crandall & Barclays and King Bros cellars
have had the greater part of the water re-
moved, the water, oil and liquors having to
pass through syphon into Thelan's cellar
and thence into sewer. Their loss will
not be as heavy as at first supposed. Drs.
Pratt & Clark have had men pumping wa
ter from their offices in the basement of DR..
Pratt's residence for eighteen hours, and
yet there is several feet of water there yet.
Part of their valuable library has been got
out, but is badly damaged.
The basement under the postoffice was
filled with sand. The corner of Second
and Myrtle streets was not much improved
after two days work, but Myrtle street,
west from that point, is much improved.
especially on the west side, where the wash
outs have been filled. The walks on
neither side have as yet been put in po-
sition, and will not be until the washouts
are filled.
The road going up the cliff at Schulen-
burg's mill shows the effects as much as
any. The covering of the road has been
washed away, the timbers keeping the ma
terials in position alone being left, and to
put this road in repair will cost large
sum. The Duluth road at this point suf-
fered considerable loss, as the bank below
the track will have to be replaced for safety.
At several points there was danger from
the falling Of boulders from the cliffs above,
but no serious injury to property from such
has been learned.

UNAVAILING EFFORTS.

Taken TO Massachusetts.

@. HI. Woods, the COmmissi ON Man,
Taken TO Massachusetts.
The hearing of the application for writ
of habeas corpus by the counsel Of S. II.
Woods, arrested on requisition from
Massachusetts,, came up before Judge
Young in the district court yesterday morn
ing. j. G. Woolley made lengthy argu-
ment to show that the warrant issued by
Gov. Hubbard was given upon insufficient
evidence, as it was only shown that S. III.
Woods, resident of Minnesota, had been
indicted in Massachusetts,. He argued that
Mr.. Woods was not fugitive from justice
as his home was in Minneapolis. He also
asked the. court to first ascertain
whether or not an indictment had
been found by the grand jury of
Hennepin county. Judge Young refused
to issue the writ, when Mr.. Wooley asked
for stay Of proceedings until 2 o'clock in
the afternoon in order that an appeal might
be made to the supreme court. The court
again refused, saying that while the coun-
sci might appeal, stay of proceedings
could not be granted. 1t was then II
o'clock, and as Louis j. Elwell, the deputy
sheriff from Westboro, Mass, announced
his intention of leaving with Woods on the
Chicago train at 1 o'clock, it was evident
that there was not sufficient time to admit
of trip to ST. Paul to obtain writ of
habeas corpus from the supreme court, and
all efforts to obtain Woods release were
ahandODed
