The legislative committee appointed
to examine the work of the Funding
Board, brought in majority and mi
nority, report The reports disagree
as to the funding of State debt proper
bonds that were refunded under the
60-3-4-5-6 act. The majority report
signed by Messrs. Wright, Young and
Rogers urges that because the sums
derived from the aggregate of these
bonds at 60 per cent. of their face was
all run together and then funded into
compromise bonds without entering
the number of the bond from which each
compromise bond was derived, there
fore, the identity of the State bond prop
er was lost, and the compromise bonds
representing them must be funded at
90 and 8. The minority report, signed
by Messrs. Case and Tyler declares !:
"This construction of the law is con-
trary to the spirit of the funding act.
We think the spirit of that act de-
mands that Whenever a State debt
proper bond can be traced, to reas-
enable certainty, it should be so
funded" The amount OF bouds taken
upis $8,O902l5.39 The new settle

CLUVERIUS IN JAIL.
His Manner OF Life Under Discouuising
circumstances.

Cluvcrus' cell is OH the basement floor,
and the room is tolerably comfortable,
Notwithstanding the fact that the breezes
are turned away by the thick prison walls.
The prisoner retires to his couch about 10
o'clock each night, and the occupants in
the cells near by say that he sleeps
soundly until about 3 o'clock in the morn
ing, when he awakes, only to turn over
TO sleep again until 8. He eats breakfast
shortly after 8, and remains in his cell un-
til the afternoon, when he is given the
privilege of the jail yard for two hours.
AT the expiration of the two hours he IS
locked up in his cell for the day. Some
times he kills the weary moments by read
ing.
His aunt, Mrs. Tunstall, has given him
Bible, and IN the letter which accom-
panied the gift she expressed the hope
that he would read it and hearken to its
teachings, so as to be better prepared to
meet death. The tenor of her whole
letter seems to indicate that she is not
very hopeful as to his case but between
the lines there runs q spark of hope,
lighted perhaps to cheer the prisoner in
his dark and lonely hours.
That he has some hope cannot be
doubted. He is n lawyer, and knowing
the value Of technicalitles and how easily
they are made, and being familiar with
the intricacies of the law, he will no doubt
cnnR 10 nope untll tne laSC hours OF MS
life stare him in the face.
Mr.. Walter Christian, deputy clerk of
the Hastings Court, is busily engaged in
copying the record in the Cluverius case.
AS soon as the record is copied counsel
for defense will present it and theirpeti.
ton for new trial to Judge Fauntlcroy
of the Supreme Court. Mr.. Christian de-
votes all the time he can to the work, and
it is thought that the copying will be com.
pleted by the middle ofSeptember.
His brother has not been to see him for
some time. His father has not seen him
since the sentence of death was pro-
nounced. But he hears from home. His
people tell him to cheer up, and he does
it so well that they cannot complain. He
has nothing to say about the case, and
since his trial he has been man of few
words. He is shaved regularly twice a
week, and barber from Eighteenth
street does the work.
He is exceedingly meditative at times,
and his thoughts seem to wander afar Off.
Whether they run back upon the past to
those dark hours when his defcnscless
cousin met her death, or forward to the
awful future, no one knows buthimself
