HOUSE.
The dressed meat bill created consider
able stir in the house. 1t came in by re-
port of the judiciary committee Just be-
fore the recess. There were two reports,
the majority report favoring indefinite
postponement, and the minority report
favoring the passage of the bill. There
was long debate over the question of
putting the bill on general orders or
making it special order. A vote to
place it on general orders was lost and
vote to make it special order was also
lost. 1t therefore went on general
orders.
The house spent the whole afternoon
on general orders. There was not
quorum present at any one time, and
there were only about twenty-five MEM
bers present. They worked faithfully,
however, and disposed of thirty five bills
most of which were of local or technical
nature and caused little or TO debate.
The only bill indefinitely postponed was
the Sevatson bill to punish the corrupt
use of money at elections. This was
killed on the ground of impracticabi'ity
The bill which caused the longest debate
was the Red River Valley drainage bill,
which was recommended to pass.
SENATE.
The bill recognizing the Third regiment
as a member of the national guard was
only one on the calendar. Gen. Pope
moved its reference to the military COM
mittee, and proceeded to read extracts
from the adjutant generals report to
prove that the national guard, as at
present constituted, is unprovided with
the necessary facilities and opportunities
for becoming trained and efficient. There
was a debate, participated in by the
same gentlemen who talked over the
measure when it was up in committee of
the whole few days ago. The motion
to refer was lost by a vote of "a nays to
II ayes, and then the bill was passed by
a vote Of 81 to IL.
The ways and means committee re-
ported back favorably the bill providing
for the issue of 100000 bonds for the
extraordinary expenses of the state, and
the bill making the tax levy 1.9 mills.
The house bill separating Beltrami
from Polk county was passed.
The bill giving railroads the right of
appeal from orders of the railroad COM
missioners, introduced by Mr.. Fleming,
came back from the judiciary committee
with two substitutes. The essential por-
tions of the original bill are retained.
The house bill fixing the bounty for
killing wolves at So per wolf was recon-
-mended to pass. .-
Mr.. Pope's bill repeating the law pro-
Viding for the taxation of railroads on
their gross earnings was acted on favor
ably by the senate in committee.

SCHEELE'S DESPERATE ACT.
The New Canaan Murderer Attempt
 to Cheat the Gallows.

The New Canaan Murderer Attempts
 to Cheat the GalIows.
 Jacob Scheele, the New Canaan mur- derer who. was sentenced to be hanged May 23d for killing Constable Drucker of tiat place, attempted suicide Sunday night in his cell at the jail III Bridgeport by cutting his left wrist with the sharp ened edge of a table spoon. The facts Of the case were kept very quiet until yes terday when in some unaccountable way the story leaked out. When asked by a reporter what truth there was in the re- port that Scheele tried to take his own life Jailer Schofield said: ''I hardly know what to say about the case. Whether Scheele really meant to com nit suicide or not is something do not positively know. It is true, however that he cut his left wrist near the hand last Sunday night with the handle of the 'sdge edge of p09h phe nstrument s nap9nby by either whetting it on the brick walls ot his cell or the iron bars of the door WhenEi was sufficiently sharp, as he sup posed, he commenced to hack and cut his wrist. After saving at it until he made deep wound he abandoned the attempt and fell on his bed. The bloo6 flowed freely from the wound and GOV. the crimson fluid. His condition was not discovered until Monday morning when the hallman went around to give him his breakfast. It was then tha Scheele was found lying on the bed ap parently lifeless. Though the woune was an ugly one he failed to sever th' main artery. Before he was discovered the flow of blood had ceased. Whel awakened his wound was dressed by D. Wordin, who arrived at the jail shor time later. When I asked Scheele wh, he did such thing, he said that he fel Respondent, and thought that the fev friends he had left who were trying t. save his life by having a new trial fo him had deserted him.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

I Anson says he may do some catching this season.
 Kansas. City has won six of the seven games from Louisville.
 Columbus offered $500 for Con Mur- phy of the Syracuse club.
 Manager Hart, of Boston, has ordered every man in that club to be in his room by half-past eleven and they must all re- port before o'clock in the morning.
 Old man Elson, with few dollars in his pocket, is back in Meriden training for the big six days walk which begins in New York next Sunday night. He is taking good care of himself and won third money last week in Springfield. Whatever may be said of the new l four ball rule, there is no doubt that it greatly increases the batting. No mat. | ter whether the pitchers are wild or not they are forced to drive the ball as near | ly over the plate as possible, and it is a poor pitcher, indeed, who is unable te put fast, straight ball over the rubber The scores are noticeably heavy already and those who have been longing fol heavier batting and quickly moving games will find all they have been look ing for,before the end of the season.

State Taxes.

Early in the legislative session there was some talk of keeping down the ap- propriations so that the state tax on the towns could be practically swept away, and the expenses be met by the revenues from the railroads, insurance companies, savings banks, etc. How ever, there is little hope that the towns will be thus relieved. The appropria- tions are already nearly up to the esti- mated revenues, taxes from the towns included, and there are many special demands upon the treasury, such as $125,0O for a second Normal school; $75, ,000 for the Storrs school; an equal amount for the proposed homeopathic hospital at New Haven; $S0,00O for the Hartford toll bridge, and several other matters, not calling for large sums, it is true, but forming quite a respectable amount in the aggregate. The only con- solation for the towns, on the failure of their anticipated exemption, is the probability that there will not, at least, be any increase of the present rate.- Hartford Times.

ADJUSTMENTS.
ssShaun Rhue,o

Mir Joseph Murphy in "Shaun Rhue'' drew very large audience to the Grand opera house last evening, and delighted every one with his wit, comicalities and pathos. His support was as usual good. Joe is undoubtedly Toronto favorite and is sure of substantial patronage dur ing his stay.-Toronto Evening Tele- gram. At the opera house tonight.
 s'Sweet Lavender..'
 An exchange says of this play, which Manager Jacques has booked for to-mor- row evening. Sweet Lavender is the name of the intensely amusing comedy which held the boards of the opera house last evening: It is of English type; a comedy of clever characterization o1 little that is serious but of such mirtf provoking dialogue, repartee and sucl amusing situations as to carry it through by storm, as it were. The stage setting was exquisite. This plays an important part in 8 comedy like Sweet Laven- der"
 Robert T. Downling will appear a! "Spartacus" at the opera house next Monday evening.

Hon William II, Barnum

The death of Hon William H. Barnum at his home in Lime Rock yesterday was not entirely unexpected. He had been unwell since last October, and although he improved somewhat and was able to be about, relapse last Friday warned his family that the end was near.
 MT Barnum was in his seventieth year For more than twenty years he had been conspicuous figure in politics and had been connected with the democratic ma. tional committee since 1879, twelve years as it's chairman. He was at the head o1 the committee in three president ial con. tests, and to him, more perhaps than tc any other man, is due the restoration ot the democracy to power in 1884. MI Barnum was married in 1947- to Miss Baker. His wife. two sons and two daughters are still living.

STRANGE CONDOLENCES.
Incidents from Which the Superstition
 Can Draw a Moral.

Incidents from Which the Expectations
 Can Draw a Moral.
 Most expressive condolences have some times occurred in the words of actors in their last appearance on the stage, says the New York Epoch. An English actor named Cummins, some twenty years ago, Appeared in play in which it fell to him to deliver these lines:
 Be witness for me, ye celestial hosts;
 Such mercy and such pardon as my soul
 Accords to thee and begs of heaven to show
 May such befall me at my last hour.'
 The last words had scarcely dropped from his lips when he fell dead on the stage.
 The following instances may be regarded by the superstitious as a sufficient warning against all Jests of such grim subject as death. It is related by MT. Bolton, an En- glish actor and author, that the famous tenor, Sims Reeves, was once playing the Squire in the pantomime of ''Old Mother Goose," and at the very moment when he was walking off the stage, singing:~ My wife's at rest-there let her lie, She's at rest, and so am l"
 man tapped him hurriedly on the shoul, der and whispered: "You must come home directly; Mrs. Reeves is dead" Greatly shocked, MT. Reeves hurried home and found it only too true.
 The other instance of which l refer re- lates to the death of J. w. Coudry, a mind reader, who, a short time ago, while lectur- | ing at New Haven, Conn.,, took occasion tc | boast of his entire freedom from fear, at 1 the same time speaking of death in some what flippant and testing manner. Very | singularly, before the conclusion of his per formance, he was stricken with apoplexy his death occurring only two days later.
