HOUSE
After the morning business. the House
went into committee Of the whole, with MI
Stone Of Kentucky, in the chair. on the ag-
ricultural experiment bill. After brief re-
marks by Messrs. Hooker, Morgan of Mis-
sissippi, and Washington of Tennessee, in
favor of an immediate appropriation the
committee rose and the bill passed.

Mr.. Belmont, of New York, chairman OF the
committee on foreign affairs, called up the
joint resolution accepting the invitation OF
the British government to the government Of
the United States to participate in the inter-
national exhibition at Melbourne TO celebrate
the founding of New South Wales, appro-
priating $4,000 to enable the United States
to be represented. The House proceeded in
committee of the whole to consider the meas
ure. The morning hour having expired, the
committee rose and the resolution went over
as unfinished business.
Mr. Wilkins of Ohio, called up the bank
ing bill as unfinished business An effort
was made by the friends and opponents of
the measure to reach an agreement by which
the bill might be open to free discussion,
and amendment and the offering of dilat0ry
motions abandoned This was unsuccessful
owing to the announcement by Mr.. Weaver OF
Iowa, that he would not surrender his rights
to antagonize the bill at any time and by any
means in his power. He raised the question
of consideration and the House determined: :
Yeas, $50; nays, 50, to consider the bill. Fill
libusterng was then continued until D. m,

Nothing more accurately marks the

2nd series Of the Association. now in
process of extinguishment, was organ
lied in January. 1882. In 1886 the Sd
series was instituted and 1850 shares
were issued. In January, 1888, an
other expansion of the system became
needed and series four was formed

growing demands call for renewed

Board Of SuperrIsors-..speeIaI Session

n. Goldstein, President, has called a
meeting of the Board of county Super
yisors tor Wednesday next, 18th inst,
to act on petitions for commissioners
to lay off roads in the northern part of
the county.
In explanation of apparent dilatori-
ness of the Board as to these roads,
which has given rise to some complaint
and criticism, we will state facts dis
proving negligence or disregard of the
public convenience in this particular.
AS soon as the previous petitions were
filed, a meeting of the Board was called
for their consideration and the ap-
pointment of commissioners as asked.
1t was then found that the petitions
were not in the legally prescribed form;
and action was consequently and neces-
sarily deferred until the citizens inter-
ested could prepare new and proper
papers. After some delay this has been
done; and the last one of the two petit
tions was filed on the 9th inst. The clerk
was directed to call the Board for the
llth, the earliest day within the time
fixed by law for notice of such meet
ings. Members of the Board have en-
tertained no such thought Of delay, as
aprehended by our correspondent Mr..
ID. A. Love; in his letter published in
the TINES of the End inst. The Board
Is, we are confident, fully alive to the
Importance of supplying these road de-
mands at the earliest possible moment.
But to effect this 1t is necessary that
citizens along the routes should cooper
ate, in a liberal spirit, as to location
and right Of way.

his large business. About 8 o'clock he
left his office and went to his elegant
home, No. S07 st. Charles avenue,
where he was greeted by a loving
wife but alas for the last time on
earth. On his arrival he felt oppressed

him; within few minutes after enter
