Ives and Siayner Free

TIE VASE AUAINST HEN DIsMI SsED
CINCINNATI, sept. 26.-Judge Schroeder to day
granted the motion 10 dismiss the case against
Ives and Stayner, on trial for ENLIGHTENMENT OF
property OF the Cincinnati, Hamilton Dayton
Railroad, and directed the jury to return verdict
OF not guilty.
There were two motions pending, one to rule out
certain accounts and books offered by the prose-
cution and the other to dismiss the case for want
OF evidence to establish guilt. The judge did not
pass upon the first motion, as he found
that the testimony wholly failed to
establish case Of grand larceny, which was one
OF the counts or the indictment, and also that IL
was not sufficient to make out case OF embeZZle-
ment. Prosecutor Pugh excepted 10 tine decision,
and gave notice that he would appeal to the
Supreme Court.

Breeze In the House.
MEssRs. MMILLIN AND MCOMAs NEARLY CONE TO
BLOWS

Breeze In the House.
MEssRs. N'MILLIN AND M'COMAs NEARLY COME 10
BLOWS.
Representatives McMilin and McComas nearly
came to blows in the House yesterday. Late In
the afternoon, when the call Of states for the in
PRODUCTION Of bills and resolutions was complete
Mr.. McComas asked unanimous consent to intro
duce for reference resolution fixing two days for
the consideration OF the educational bill
Mr.. McMillin objected.
Mr.. McComas asked for the reading OF the resolu-
ton.
Mr. McMillin again objected
"You surely do not mean to object to this" said
Mr.. McComas, addressing himself TO Mr.. McMillin:
you. Come, now" he added, soothingly, "you
won't object"
Il am not indulglng in any childs play" replied
Mr.. McMillin. 81 meant what said, and mean
1t STILL"
Mr.. McComas moved a couple of steps toward
Mr.. McMillin, and said: ''That's very small piece
OF business; about as small as it could be. It's
pure meanness."
BY this time both men were thoroughly angered
They drew close together and glared at each other
and several bitter things were said In an UNDER
tone.
Members to prevent blows, got between them.
Of" repeated Mr.. McCOmas apparently needless OF
the anger OF his antagonist.
The fists or Mr.. McMillin were clenched, and he
retorted bitterly In tone not audable TO the re-
pOrters.
The peacemakers concluded that the time had
come for action, and they escorted the would-be
cOmbatants to their respective corners.
