over On nearly all the roads the full num-
Der of cars is running. A reserve of police is

are not and will not be subject to the order of
any labor organization. Charles Walker, the

Adams Conntv,s Relief Measure.

LINCOLN, Feb. G.-fSpecial to The Bee. -
The senate this morning passed the bill for
the relief of Adams county. In 1880 William
B. Thornc, county treasurer was found to
be short in his cash about $4,000. TO secure
his bondsmen he decided them about $4,000
worth of property, The bond was only S25,
900, but the suretes offered to give the county
a warranty decd to Thornes property in re-
turn for their release from liability under
the bond. Tho county accepted the PROPOSE
tion, but Thorne began suit to recover "a
part of his property. He set up that he was
not liable to the county for tho state taxes in
default, and he brought suit under the
statute, which empowers county to acquire
title TO property in certain cases by judicial
proceedings. Thorne maintained that hls
property had not come into the possession of
Adams county by judicial process, and the
amendment just passed simply changes the
law so as TO permit a county to acquire prop
crty by warranty decd. The sale of the
Thorne property had been set for to-day, but
was postponed until tomorrow Thorne
was tried for cmbezlcmcnt, sentenced and
pardoncd, there being Il belief that an en-
plOye was responsible for the shortage. The
cx treasurer died last winter.

house roll 80, the McNictle bill, providing
for uniform system OF teyt books, and pro-
hibitug any change in the series oftener than
once in five years, and recommended that the
same be indefinitely postponed. The recon-
mendatiOn was adopted
The committee on constitutional amend
ments reported in favor of house roll Isl, a
ioint resolution by Cushing proposing to
submit amendments to the state constitution
fixing the salary Of judges of the supreme
court at 5000, and of the district judges at
S3 800 per aunum.

ships and towns to issue bonds for special
purpose.
by Baker-To require and regulate the
registration of voters in metropolitan cities

The house spent nearly the whole of the
morning session in committee of the whole
considering a bill by Everett repeating the
local option feature of the herd law
Everett favored the measure and said that
the condition of the new counties demanded
that the herd law should be made uniform.
Burnham opposed the measure in an elo-
qucnt argument He said the county of kcya
Paha was strongly in favor of the present
law.
Gilchrist of Box Butte, said it was simply
a question whether the western part of the
state should remain a vast forage range for
a few rich lords and their cowboys, or
whether this, the finest land under the sun,
should be parceled out to the poor, deserv-
ing homesteaders. 1t is simply question in
his district OF men or cattle, and he decidedly
preferred the former.
KEEPER strongly opposed any change in the
present law, and stated that in Cedar county
the stock interests were SO important that
the passage of such a law would work much
injury to his constituents. He favored local
option in the matter, Just as the present law
provides.
Hail said the question is simply whether
the man who owns cattle should renee them
ill., or whether the poor man should be COM
PEELED to fence tho rich mans cattle out He
thought that the rich man could afford to
and should be compelled to take care of hls
own stock.
it is.
Sergeant and Whitehead of Custer, spoke
in favor of the bill--the latter stating that
the sod house in which he resided was nearly
torn down IA few winters ago by the stock OF
the rich cattle barons.
TowIe OF Knox wanted to know who was
demanding this change in the law, and said
that Sioux county alone, which seems TO be
the only one Interested should settle this
matter by a vote, ana not take up so much
time of the legislature.
Fieldgrove spoke rather desparagngly of
the COWBOY, and thought his days III Ne
braska are numbered
Burnham moved to refer the bill back with
the recommendation that it do not pass.

How They Wrecked Fortunes and
Drowned Men.
dispatch from Sunbury SAYS that
thrce men in boat came down
from Williamsport on Sunday and
reported that thirty men and boys who
were watching the flood from the bridge,
were drowned. The Beaver mill came
floating down rapidly and carried the
bridge along with it before any could cs-
cape. The water at Williamsport reached
the sccond-story of the Hepburn house and
the buildings on Pine street. An immense
quantity of lumber was carried away and
all along the West Branch the damage is
very great. Miners from Shamokin were
on Sunday blowing up wooden bridges
lodged against the Reading iron bridge
with dynamite. Every store i'm Lock
Haven is flooded and all the bridges from
Remove down are gone.
At Harrisburg from $50 to 10 q. m, on
SUNDAY, tho Susquchanna remained at "a
feet inch above low-water mark, or 2G
inches above the high mark of 1868. Att
| p. m, the water had fallen two feet. The
| entire eastern and Southern sections of the
| city are submerged the water touching
General Cameron's pavement on Front
| street.
AT n point below Steelton the Pennsylva-
mia tracks are under water and saw logs
from the Lock Haven boom are piled on the
| track.
The bridges on the Susquehanna are piled
high with logs and debris, forming con-
pact mass from the shore to lIargcst's island
half mile distant. The island is entirely
under water, and the barn was swept away.
