Colonel Heppenheimer, Chief Engineer
VOORHEES, of the Opposition, Deputy
Speaker Marsh and Clerk Matthews say
they did not close their eyes during the
memorable all night session OF the House.
Heppenheimer did contide his form 10
three chairs, but Goble had an attack OF
"reminiscences of sentry experiences in The
war. He paced up and down in front OF
the three chairs, crying -Four O'Clock and
all's well, . 1.-TWO minutes past four and
all's WELL" till Colonel Heppenheimer
meditated resignation from the National
Guard and sent out for an eighteen inch
apple pie.
Speaker Hudspeth's drastic discipline
was very beneficial. The Democratic ma
jority got along swimmingly till the UNI
fortunateH Harrison Kearney Consolidation
bill was reached. Then the Democrats
were aground again. Farrell received ex-
pressions of sympathy from all over the
House. It was felt that the bill should
nave been put through after having been
adopted by the caucus. Whether it will
be got afioat again is a question. Only W
weeks remain of the session.
HOW ABOUT FAGAN's BILL NOW?
The fate Of this bill has caused Pagan
some doubt regarding his Hamilton
County bill, although he expresses the ut
most confidence r~egarding-it.
Probably nothing will be done in a POI
litical way tomorrow, because Wieden-
mayer will be absent. He did say, in a
moment of vexation, that he might be
away e week, too; but he atterWard
took this back.
Members generally express regret that
Farrells bill was taken out of its turn
and was considered first instead of sew
enth, which was its order on the list of
caucus measures. 1t proved a snag,
which prevented the disposal of other
partisan legislation. The House was in
a humor to finish up these bills; but the
filibustering over it tired the members
after the fatigue of the previous night,
and Colonel Heppenheimer recognized
that it was impossible to hold them to-
gether. Frank McDermit got in some
more vengeance in helping the Republi-
cans to force an adjournment.

The Australian Election bill sailed
two votes. Feeney and Mutchler are re-
corded against it. Feeney made a speech
AGAINST Fl. because he regards il as q Re-

for the bill. He INDUCED in no oratory.
