VOTING FOR CONgICT LEASES.
ACTION BY THE LOWER HOUSE OF THE TENNEs-
SEE LEGI STATURE.

ACTION By THE LOWER HOUSE OF THE TENNES-
SEE LEGISLATURE.
Nashville, Sept. (Special.-The proceedings
Of the extra session Of the Legislature become
more interesting as the discussions get more into
the merits of the leading topic, the penitentiary
lease The first sensational thing to-day was
the allegation that Labor Commissioner Ford and
his assistant, Representative Altman, were re-
sponsbe in some degree for the outbreak at
Bricevile, Anderson County, by public speeches
and in other ways, and resolution was adopted
by the House authorizing an investigation.
There was lively fight when motion was made
to adopt resolution declaring it TO be the sense OF
the House that the Legislature cannot abrogate
or amend the existing contract with the prison
lessees There is a strong sentiment in the House
that the present lease should be abrogated at once,
and the opposition TO this resolution spirited
and determined 1t was finally adopted, how
ever. by a majority of twelve. This vote was I'M
portant as it showed the prevailing sentiment TO
be against the immediate abolition of the prevail
ing lease. The opposition to this resolution was
led by Mr.. Dawes, of Memphis, who
in the course of his remarks said:
"For the first time in the history
Of the United States honest labor has been beaten
down by the use of convict labor, and it should
not be allowed another day. / tell you the Dem
ocratic party in this STATE will suffer if this ques
ton is not wisely settled and that very soon
The last action of the House before adjourn
ment was 10 accept an invitation to attend the
annual reunion of the State Association of Con-
fcderate Veterans at Winchester next week. The
motion TO accent this invitation was made by
Mr.. Collins, the leader OF the Republican side.

WATER AS AN ANAESTHETIC.

Berlin, Sept "A discovery has just been made by
Dr. c. L. SLEIGH, of this city, while conducting eX
perlments with view to determining how weak a
solution of cocaine would prove efcaclous local
anaesthetic in minor surgical operations. lie found
that pure water injected under the skin with syringe
renders the flesh at that point insensible to pain.
The effect of the water is to create slight swelling,
resembling that caused by the sting of a gnat
The space marked by the swelling remains insensible
TO pain for some minutes SO that lhclsiOhs can DC
made without causing pain.

The value of the German market for pork prod'

comparison with other European countries which
do not exclude pork. The exports Of bacon from
the United States TO England, for instance-not
including Scotland or lreand.-iu the year ended
June 80 1889, amounted to S24,403,504, and the
exports of hams TO $2.G00,G50; in the year ended
June 80 1890 the figures were bacon, S3l l,4'4,-
