the money. l represent an agricultural constit-
uency and | believe that agricultural colleges

Mr.. McHenry-It would seem that an agricult-
ural college in this State was an innovation and
something that ought to be watched with the ut
most scrutiny. We should not expect too much of
Purdue University: as yet it is young-scaree
ten years old. Give it time and chance and 1
venture to say that it will give results that will
satisfy the State.
Mr.. Smith. of Tippecanoe-This institution is
not to teach Latin, or Greek, or higher mathe-
MATES, but it is an institution that will develop
the handiwork of the man who engages his skill
with the educated brain To make the earth yield
more bountifully. Experience shows that agri-
cultural colleges have been of inestimable value
to every country. This institution does not be-
long to Tippecanoe county. 1t is essentially a
State university. In a case of emergency, the
State of Indiana took $40, 900 of the funds OF
this university, and gave a non-negotiahle bond
bearing 8 per cent. interest. So you have bor-
rowed her endowment fund at 5 per cent. inter
est and now say you will give her no more.
That noble citizen, John Purdue. gave $50, GOO
to aid the institution, and the county of Tippe-
canoe gave 500, 600 more, and the citizens of Tip
pecanoe county gave LOO acres Of land.
Mr.. Taylor demanded the previous question.
The House seconded the demand, and under its
operations the bill passed the Heuse-yeas 70,

Something Further About the Woman Who
Closed Cisco's Bank.
New York Letter in Philadelphia Record.
The best abused woman hereabouts is Mrs.
Hattie Green. who caused the failure of John j..
Cisco & Co. Mrs. Green has long been a famil-
lar person in financial circles. She is probably
the richest woman in America. having some $40,
600, 600 at her disposal; but she is as mean
as she is rich, and never spends more than $l0,-
600 a year for the support of herself and chill
dren. An acquaintance of mine boarded in the
same house with Mrs. Green once, here
in the city, and he says that her mean
ness passed belief, that economy actually
amounted to a disease with her. After she had
read her morning paper, which she always did
betirnes. she sent her son, then a boy of ten or
twelve years old, out in front of the house to
sell it to the passers- by. There is no economy
too mean or contemplate FOR Mrs. Green to put
into practice. 1t is said by these who profess to
know that her son owes the lamenesS that will
follow him to the grave to the bad treat
ment his leg received after an accident; that his
mother would not go to the expense of
decent advice, and for the want Of o
few dollars she has left him a cripple for life.
When in New York Mrs. Green hides herself
away in b~oarding-houses, going from one to
another that she may not be found; and the rest
Of the time she spends in travelling throNgh the
country towns of New England, putting out her
money on mortgages. and looking after small
but safe investments. Before she married her
HuSOanu she maze nlm SeLble 9OuU. UUU on ner.
1t is said that he was quit a liberal handed
man until he married, but that her influence
was so strong that she succeeded in max
ing him almost as miserly as she is. Such
people as Mrs. Green do a great deal more harm
in the community than the spendthrifts who are
so violently pitched into. That a certain gen
tleman in New York spends S.. 5000 upon a din
ner party, and gives two a week through the
winter, causes a great many people to raise
their hands in holy horror at such extrava-
gance; but, extrayagant as it may be, it puts
his money into circulation and sends it among a
lot of hard working people. who in their turn
spend it, so that it is kept in constant circula-
ton. But Mrs. Green's money is virtually tied
up in an old stocking, and does no one-not even
herself-any good.

In the State of Indiana we have no large cities
where the rights granted to street railways are
OF any particular value. If we had within our
borders a New York, Cincinnati or Chicago, there
might be occasion for q proposition to tax street
railways in this manner. This bill provides that
every street railway car may be taxed as high as
20, whether in a large city or a smaller one of
only $4,000 inhabitants, where the citizens may
nave seen tit to build a street railroad. When
Tou compare the cities of this State with the
large cities of other States, where street railway
tranehises are of great value. it seems to me q
suihclent reason to be seen Why this bill ought
not to pass. | am opposed to it. not on the plea
OF special legislation, but simply because It
would cripple every enterprise of the kind re-
ferred to in the State-the one in the city of In
Gianapolis included, which is the largest city in
the State.
Dir. Overstreet-This identical bill, as I now
remember, was before a Senate committee last
session. and l joined in a report against its pas
sage. Finding the bill here again, and knowing
it can apply to but few cities in the State-mine
not being one of them-and having no personal
interest, either now or prospective, l joined this
time in a report recommending its passage. /
did this upon the supposition that cities in the
State having street railroads desired the passage
of such a bill.
Mr.: Campbell, of st. Joseph-We have in
South Bend a fine street railroad Ton paperL but
we have the projectors under bona at 81, 900 for
felt If they fail to build it. In our experience we
have found that companies are not anxious to
take a franchise of that kind If. an enterprising
city like South Bend. For a horsg time we had
prospects of a street railroad being built, and
from our experience / conclude the profits are
not enormous.
On motion by Mr.. Maeee, the report was laid
on the table, and the bill indefinitely postponed,
by yeas 81, nays 10.
Mr.. Winter, explaining his affirmative vote,
said: I'm the last canvass the candidates of
both parties for the Legislature in this city made
pledges that they would not in any shape favor
an increase of taxation. We have a law which
limits City Councils to ninety cents on the $l9G
of taxables. I regard this whole thing as moth
ing but an effort to evade the provisions Of exist
ing laws This bill is but an entering wedge for
the omnibus bill referred to. The principle of
the bill / regard as utterly wrong and an attempt
to eVadA the law

Afternoon Session.

Mr.. Moody's bill LII. r. 21l was read the third
time.
Mr.. Brownlee-I am opposed to the bill for the
reason that it is legislation for a class. 1t pro
vldes that whenever a guest comes into a hotel
that the hotel has a lien upon the baggage for
the payment of the bill 1t also provides that
any person who shall obtain food, or lodging, or
other accommodation, with an intent to defraud
the owner shall be guilty of a m~isdemeanor and
the proof shall be his failure to pay the bill on
demand. don't believe in putting any such
statutes on the books. Perhaps there
may be a dispute as to the amount
of the Indebtedness, and it is not
a good law to say that proof of his refusal is
sufficient to convict of a misderaeanor. 1t Is bad
policy. Civil procedure in this case is objec-
tionabfe, and criminal is worse.
Mr.. Robertson am opposed to the passage
of the bill. 1t makes provision for a special
class, which l think wrong. l think a hotel or
inn-keeper ought to be guilty of y misdemeanor
if he fails to pay any of his own debts.
Mr.. Mock, of Wel1s-Our committee examined
this bill very carefully, and were of the opinion
it ought to pass. The charge that it creates a
monopoly is a mistake. There has been a law
allowing hotel keepers a lien on the baggage of
their guests ever since l can remember. There
has always been a distinction between those who
are travelling and regular boarders.
The bill was rejected by yeas, 10; nays SO.

REASONABLE DOUBT.

necessary to convict the accused, as

have any reasonable doubt as to
the gnilt or innocence ofthe accus-
ed, it is your duty, as the law SO
declares, to give the accused. the
benefit of such doubt. A reasona-
BILE doubt does not mean a captious
err yossible doubt, but it means that

under your oaths-after the weigh
ing carefully of. all the testimony

snow that the dahgeIF was Feai,. Out
that it should. be reasonably. ap-
parent to be imminent and actuel
to the Defendant at the time of the
killing, but'it is necessary for the
proof to show that there did exist
at the time OF the killing such cir
cumstances as would induce any Or
binary reasonable man to conclude
thas the danger was imminent and
real" In Judging Of this, gentle
men, whether there did exist such
an apparent danger, you can take
into consideration all the surround
ing circumstances, the condition of
the deceased, the fact whether he
was armed or unarmed, and the op-
portunity of the accused at the time
to have averted the necessity of the
killing; provided it was apparent
that it could have been done with
ont endangering his own life. In
other words, under the law of self
defence, when person is feloni-
ously attacked or. assaulted by, an
other, he is not required to retreat
from the combat but may stand his
ground, provided the danger is ap-
pareutly SO immediate, imminent
and real, that the person attacked
would be in greater danger of his
life by retreating from the combat
than standing his ground or even
pursuing his adversary and taking
his life.
When the accused claims that he
acted on such an apparent necessity,
the killing will nevertheless be
murder. unless the proof and cir
cumstances show to your minds be-
yond a reasonable doubt-that the
hostile acts and demonstrations of
the deceased if any there were, were
of such character, as to produce a
| reasonable belief IN the mind of
the accused, that there was an i'm
mediate necessity, on his part to
take the life Of the deceasediin or
der to save his own, and if it should
turn out afterwards that the accused
was not in danger, yet is to be
judged by the appearances at the
time.
t charge You further, that the in
slant the apparent danger ceases,
or the deceased attempted to leave
the combat and flee, then if pursuit
is made or the killing is done after
the apparent necessity ceases. to ex-
list, the killing is murder.
Previous threats and difficulties
are admissible in evidence for the
purpose Of showing with what in
tention the, parties acted at the, time.
They are admissible for the State
to show that the accused bore NAL
ice against the deceased, and ad-
missible for the accused to show,
with what Intention the deceased
acted atithe time of the homicide.
Mere naked threats to kill man
unaccompanied by any hostile de-
monstration, does not Justify any
one IN taking life, not even an as
sault. IF threats have been made,
they do not justify killing, unless
they were seriously made and un-
