Legislative Report,

They still hang fire in committee we
mean many of the bills we are so much
interested in. 1t does seem that our law
makers ought to push along a little faster
in their work, and not have it crowded
into the last days of the session, so that
many important measures cannot receive
the consideration they deserve.
Senator Carpenters bill, No. 2S5, to
prevent and punish unlawful combina-
tlons, relates only to railroad combina-
tions. 1t is senate bill No. 15 with the
parts that the workingmen objected to
left out
House bill No. Al, in relation to the
coupling offreight cars, was recommitted
SO as to get more light on the subject.
House bill No. 2OS has beer, up in the
committee of the whole, in the house,
and was recommended to be passed after
striking out sections and s. The sec
3tions killing the iron clad and truck sysi
tenn we're left with slight amendments.
The house bill prohibiting convict
contract labor has been again before the
committee on'penitentlary and it Is un-
derstood that they will report against in.
AS nearly all bills have been read the
second time, and referred to committees,
the sessions of the house hereafter will
be interesting
lnsthe debate upon the truck system,
Mr.. Dormer showed in very forcible
manner the way the miners are robbed
BY the truck stores. Mr.. Bradley also
did good talking to the same effect.

Carpenters, s.ei.l.

Editor Labor Enquirer:
Carpenters' local union No. IS, of the
Brotherhood, held their regular monthly
social at Euclid hall on Saturday even
ing. February IA, when they and their
friends'assembled in such numbers that
the hall was crowded to oyefowinq,
which is the best indication ofthe popu-
larity Of these socials.
The Brotherhood makes it obligatory
for each local to hold an open meeting
once month. The Denver union com
menced by holding putfc meeting in
their hall. engaging public speakers to
debate the labor question, but tbs great
mass of carpenters whom we intended
to reach stayed away. Next, we engaged
the City hall, where we got fair audi
ence, and Colonel T. B. Stuart (now
speaker ofthe house of representatives,
gave us the most eloquent and stirring
appeal, showing the past and present
conditionsof our trade, the duty as crafts
men we owe to each other. together with
as to what our future might be, it has
ever been within the province of the
writer to listen to.
We then instituted these socials, not
for pecuniary gain, but to reach the out
side masses, and from the first one to
the present they have had asteady
growth. .4..
The meeting was called to order by
the president, A. II. Higgins. The or
chestra was composed of the following
musicians: P. 81. Bannick, leader; Mrs.
L. E. Russell, pianist; Brothers W. E.
Miner ard A. d. Pollard, vlolinists.
Brother J.. D. Mcdonald delivered the
opening address, followed by Brother

received.
Mr.. A. W.Coats was next called upon
by the chair, and made a very entertain
ing address.
Next was recitation, "The Moneyless
Man," by Mrs. A. M. Durhammer, who
proved herself an eIocutionist of ability.
But the most enjoyable song of the
evening, most mlrthful and most enthu-5
siastically applauded, aMy Sweetheart
Bangs Her Hair" was sung by Miss
Annie Phillips, who acted her part WELL,
Brother E! E. Rice next read a poem
entitled Poverty" which. alas, too many
present were living witnesses Gifts effect

Next was rattle for a flower stand,
which was won by Mrs. Sophie Zeigler.
A checker-board was won by Mrs.
Peiker, after which partners for dance
resounded through the hall, when free
dances were artistically done by the
various participants.
Refreshments were served in IA bounte-
Gus manner, furnished by the carpen-
ters' wives and daughters, which shows
that they are excellent cooks, when they
have the material with which:to cook.
The dance was then resumed, when
each went off their several ways, re-

INDIANA JUSTICE.
An Indiana Farmer Captures Three
Tramps In his House and Furnishes
Them With One Hundred Lashes.

CRAwFoRDsvILLE, IND, Aug. 49,
The residence Of Noah Lockabill, on a
farm near BrownsYalley, was entered
by tramps Sunday night. Lockabill
was awakened by the noise, sprung
from his bed and closed with the one
in the room. The burglar was rein
forced by two others. Mr.. Lockabill
is a powerful man, and flung the cap
tured burglar against the two others,
in such a manner as to bring the three
to the floor. Then he went at them
with a club. His wife brought the
clothes line, and together they
bound the three tramps and sat down
and waited for them to recover. When
the tramps regained consciousness Mr..
Lockabill asked them which they per-
ferred, to be taken to Charlottesville
and be placed in Jail, where they stood
a chance of several years in the peni-
tentiary, or be led out one at a time
and receive such a whipping as he
would administer. They chose the lat
ter and the farmer took them out
severally, tied them to a gate post and
administered one hundred lashes to
each tramp with a large new
raw hide wagon whip. Each stroke
Of tina whip raised a huge
welt on the back Of the tramps
and when the operation was completed
a pool of blood could be seen where
they had stood. Their piteous cries
for mercy called in the neighbors until
quite a little audience had assembled
to witness the castigation Of the
tramp number three. AS all sympa-
thized with the irate farmer, the per-
Torrance went on till he had COM
pleted the hundred lashes.

SNATCH VICTORY FROM DE.
FEAT.

One of Vicksburg's popular compa-
MES. the Volunteer Southrons, has
suffered defeat for the first, and let US
hope for the last time. They are true
soldiers and they can turn defeat to
victory by repairing their faults and
drilling to perfection in every point
that makes a soldier. That this gal
liant company could be defeated will
only raise the standard of military ex-
cellence higher in this State, and we
predict the time is not far distant
when the crack companies of the
Union will fear the companies of no
other State more than those Of Missis-
sippi. Splendid opportunities will
doubtless be offered this Fall, and
"our Southrons" must prepare to show
that they are made of the stuff of
which veterans are made, by turning
their first reverse into lasting and
glorious victory. We are sure the gal
liant company which defeated them,
will at any time give them another
chance to contend for Mississippi's
highest honor on the field of military
heroism.

The RIver MaIl servIoe.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-Second AS.
sistant Postmaster General Knott, has
changed the mail service that has been
performed by boat from Terene to Ar
kansas City, on the Mississippi river,
a distance Of some sixty miles, to rail-
road, combined with star service, thus
effecting a yearly saving Of over Eve
thousand dollars on that one route.
The citizens in that locality have
protested against this change and
a delegation is now In the city for
the purpose Of securing a return to
the boat. Mr.. Knott stated to-dsY
to a Star reporter that the
service had been in operation since
August first. and they had received me-
information of any failure to deliver
the mails, and SO far as he knew the
service was as good as the old. He
had no idea Of making any change uR-
less the transmission Of mails was
delayed. It was the intention to in
troduee the same kind Of service az
other points along the Mississippi
river, and also on the Ohio where tits
practicable.

MARTINsvA1LY. Pa, Aug. 18.-Mrs.
Sarah TRULY, of this place, is an aged
widow. Her son John, aged "a, work
ed on the east branch railroad. Jason,
another son, aged 81, was an employee
in the State quarries. Wyman, a third
son, thirty.eight years old, was a mil
Ter. They lived with their mother,
having no families of their own. On
Friday night last John, while
running to turn a switch, fell
into a cattle guard and broke
his neck. On Saturday morning,
before the news Of Johns death reach
ed him, Jason was drowned in a pit in
the quarries, recent rains having filed
it with water. James Whitaker ar
rived in the village at 8 o'clock on Sat-
urday morning with the news of John
Truby's death, and met VIM. Jackson,
who was bearing the tidings Of Jason's
at the same time. The two walked
together to the mill, where Wyman
worked, to break the news to him first.
There was a crowd about the
mill, and as the two messengers ar
rived on the scene, the crowd were
carrying Wyman Truby's dead
body out Of the building. He had
been sutfocated in a grain bin. Less
than twelve hours interviewed between
the death of the first brother and the
last one. The news Of the death Of

her life is despaired of. The three
bodies will be buried in one grave.

CAIRO, Aug. 15.-It is not improba
BILE that the solution of the great
problem of building a flying machine
has been brought about by a Padueah,
KY, man, who yesterday, in the pre-
sence of several reporters and many
citizens, attained at least some degree
Of success in the premises. Prof.
Calvin A.. Hayes is the progress
sive party who has caused the
sensation, and, while the inner
mechanism of the invention is not
given to the public, its general outside
appearance is not unlike a large army
tent, the flies Of the tent representing
the wings of the machine. The first
start was interrupted bya break in the
wings. Later the guys were loosened
the wings tapped, and the machine
sailed forty feet into the air, guided in
various directions by the professor,
finally landing safely near where it
started, having made atour Of a couple
of hundred feet. The inventor claims
he can come from Paducah to Cairo,
"as the crow flies" in an hour and a
half,
