Special Dtspdteh 10 he Late!liptAeer.
CHARLESTON, W. VA, Feb. 1l.-Con'
siderable OF the timo Of the Senate was
occupied to-day in the discussion OIL
Senate bill, No. so, relating to mechan.
les liens, and lots OF flowing oratory was
expended.
General Watts championed the cause.
The knights OF Labor and Brick Layers
Union, Of this city, had sent In psti.
tions asking for the passage Of the bill.
The subject Of discussion was an am and.
ment offered by Mr.. Gilkeson, prOvid.
ing that no payment by the owner TO u
contractor shall affect or impair the lien
OF a contractor or=laborer provided for in
this chapter, but the owner may limit
his liabilities so that the amounts paid
shall not exceed the price stipulated in
the contract by having tie contract re-
corded, but II the owner fails to have
the contract recorded the contractor
shall be held to be bis agent aud the
house shall be liable for the time value
Of all labor done, material and machin.
cry furnished therefor prior TO such re.
cording, although the same may exceed
the aggregate price stipulated in the
contract.
General Watts moved to amend the
amendment by striking out the word
contractor" before the word ''laborer."
This amendment prevailed. Mr.. Ar
buckle opposed 1t and said his object
was to do justice to all parties, which the
amendment would not do. It would
take away from the owner a right guar.
anteed him by the constitution to hold
thecontraCtorr responsible for insufficient
or incompetent workmanship in the
building. No one had more sympathy
for the working man than he. He had
been accused Of being there IN the inter.
eat OF the Farmers's Alliance and the
laboring men.
General Watts asked him Il he was
ashamed OF the charge. Mr.. AIbuckle
said no, but he wanted to do justice to
all sides. One amendment as amended
was lost, and after more discussion the
bill was recommitted to the Judiciary
Committee.

Creery.
Mr.. Gilkeson moved TO amend the bill
by empowering the city to furnish
power as well as light and heat.
Mr.. Whitaker said this was the same
old niger in the wood pile and went
toward putting the bill in It's original
shape, empowering the city TO do every.
thing.
Mr.. Gilkeson replied that he was op.
posed 10 monopolies in thought. He
saw two niggers in the wood pile. Was
II proposed to give the company the ex.
elusive right and not allow the city 10
come in and compete with it2
Mr.. st. Clair said he was opposed 10
the amendment because 1t was undemo-
cratic. The gentlemen might as well
propose TO put the State Government or
the National Government to competing
with the people, and with the capital
they could putin, roWd out any oreyery
private enterprise. The bill could work
no injustice 10 the people Of Wheeling.
Why should the poor man Of Wheeling
be compelled to pay to furnish power
for the wealthy manutacturer2
He made quite an earnest speech, sew
eral minutes in length, to which no re.
ply was made.
Mr.. Gllkeson's amendment was lost,
and the amendment reported by the
providing that light and
heat should not be furnished below
cost, was agreed to.
The bill was ordered to it's engtoss.
ment and third reading, aud the sen-
ate adjourned.
