The State Capital.

jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. 29.-Sen-
stor Miller yesterday offered reso-
luton instructing the committee on
federal relations and public buildings
and grounds to visit st. LOUIS, to
thoroughly inspect the Missouri in
itute for the blind, for the purpose
of ascertaining the feasibility of sell
ing the present grounds and buildings
and relocating in more suitable
quarters. The resolution was held
up, pending the report of the commit
tee appointed to visit the state insti-
buttons.
Senator Cochran ofSt. Joseph pok-
ed the senate in the ribs rather rudely
this morning, by introducing a reso-
luton Withholding any appropriation
for the Worlds fair until after con-
gress had taken action on the force
bill.
Senator McGinnis said he wanted
to point out some Of the incongruities
of the resolution. He started to make
a speech against it, but had his at
tention diverted by close questioning
and the resolution went over under
the rules.
The senate committee on elections
has decided to report the Australian
ballet law restricting If tn cities Of
l 200 population and over. As very
general demand has been made to
have the law apply to the entire state,
it is expected that warm fight will
be made when the report is presented.
just what reasons the members of the
committee have for restricting the law
to cities of 1000 and more is not
known, but it is said to be chiefly on
the ground of the enormous cost to the
people OF the state.
The senate committee on judiciary
will report favorably upon the mech
anic lien law bill introduced by Sena-
tor Stone.
The committee on private corpora
tiOns has decided to report favorably
upon bill compelling telegraph COM
panies to accompany each message

ceived and delivered.

A QUEER CASE.
An Ohio Girl Whose Tears Seem
to be Turned Into Glass.

Friday, o., JAN, 26 The physi.
clans and occulists of this city are
greatly puzzled over case which is as
remarkable as any that ever came un-
der this observation. This was the
taking from the right eye of Jennie
Sutton, 15-year,old girl, of54 piece:
of broken glass by DIR. L. G. Tritch.
While this of itself would be very
much out of the ordinary, when it is
considered that the eye was not at al
affected by these foreign substances,
and that there was no inf ANIMATION OF
DISAGREEMENT of vision, as well as no
pain, it is a fact that these pieces of
of this girl for the past month, and
only day before yesterday DR.. Tritch
removed every evidence of glass in
the eye, and announced that all were
taken out.
Yesterday she came back and had
flfty-four more pieces removed, and
no one knows how they came into the
eye. The girl is a domestic in the
family of Ex-Surveyor Stringfellow,
whose wife has been taking these par
ticles of glass from the girls eye for a
month past, but becoming alarmed at
their temperance almost as soon as
removed bad DIR. Trltch undertake To
cure the young woman of her pecu-
liar affection. The case puzzles the
doctors quite as much a. it has the girl
and her employers, as she met with
no accident by which the glass could
get into the eye, and the fact that the
particles give her little or no pain is
equally as inexplicable
1t is estimated that over 100 pieces
of glass have been taken from the eve
since the case first attracted attention
The glass has been tested and found
to be pure crystals, and as the girl
has no means of putting the pieces in
the eve. and as a matter of fact,
would hardly have intelligence sufiic-
lent to carry out a system of impo-
sition, not to speak of her ability to
do so without pain, the matter has
aroused the liveliest sort of specuIa-
ton, and the only theory thus far ad-
vanced 10 explain the matter is that
the girl has some sort of chemical
nature and that the crystals are form
ed by her tears Another examin-
alton will be made tomorrow, the girl
being closely watched in the mean
time TO prevent any fraud, and the
outcome of this test will be awaited
with interest. All in all, it is
strange case.

PORTER ACQUITTED.
A Notorious Tennessee Murderer
Gets Off Luckily.

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 2S.-For
tune has once more proved kind to
Kenneth Porter of Paris, Tenn, who
has figured in as many murderous
ARRAYS as any man of his age in Ten
nessee. This time he has been &C
quilted of the charge of murder in the
killing Of Will Edmunds, his brother
in-law. Porter is the third son of ex-
Gov. James ID. Porter. Edmunds
was equally we'll connected and about
as reckless as young Porter. The
trouble thEt finally resulted in the
killing originated in a scandal con-
Meeting the names of Kenneth Porter
and Edmunds' sister, whom he subse-
quently married. In quarrel about
this timeEdmunds shot aud dangerous
ly wounded Porter. When Porter had
become eOnvalescent he met Edmuuds
on the street and second encounter
ensued, in which Edmunds was kill
ed. An hour later Dudley Porter,
brother of Kenneth's and son-in-law
of Gen. j. ID. G. Atkins, who was
commissioner of Indian Affairs under
Cleveland, was shot and killed by a
young bank cashier named Alexander
White, with whom he quarreled
about the killing of Edmunds. White
was tried and acquitted. The con-
duct of his sons blighted the political
prospects Of Gov. Porter. He would
have been elected United States Sem
ator two years ago but for his with
drawal from the contest in consequence
of the Edmunds killing.

In THE WRONG HOUSE.
Where Too Much Tanglt foot
Brought Citizpn of MOberIy
tuesday Night

A well known citizen, much giver
to the use of tanglrtoot, the active
principle of which is spirf US termentI,
has recently moved his family 10 the
extreme southern limits of South
CLARK street saws the MoberIy Moni-
tor. He took an early start
yesterday morning to get in state OF
bewilderment that should cause him
to Danish care and let the old world
jog along as it pleased, and at night
fall he was ready to. lose himself or be
lost in the mazes and streets of the
Magic City. Williams street was the
same to him IS Clark, and a white
cottage on the one looked all the same
to him as the white cottage in which
he had recently taken up his abode.
1t was not very late, and he found
the door unlocked and entered the
room he supposed was his own, and
commenced to disrobe. AT er he had
put his hat upon a chair and ditto his
coat, his ears were saluted by scream
like a locomotive whistle on the dis
play of a red light. And then another
scream. These screams nearly lifted
the intruder of his feet. They had
proceeded from two young ladies in
bed. The tumult brought the old
gentleman, the father of the ladies,
who, warned by the tumult, instantly
appeared upon the scene, and vocit-
Grated, "Scoundrel, get out of here
or I'll blow the whole top of your head
off," The citizen "got" at once
without another hint and in such
haste that he left hat and coat behind.
The pocket of the coat were looked
into and his name discovered. The
police were informed, but the father
of the frightened fair ones was pre-
vailed upon not to bring formal
complaint as it was mistake of John
Barleycorn and not case of burglary
or attempted murder.
The coat and hat were recovered
this morning, and the author of last
nights excitement was sOberer and
wiser when the garments were return
ed to him.
