crossed.
RELATIVE TO RAILROADS.
Mr.. Cullop's till fixing the liabilities of
common carriers to shippers came back
from the committee on railroads with q
majority report recommending its passage
and a minority report recommending its in
definite postponement. The bill makes
roads receiving freight from other roads
responsible TO shippers for the safe delivery
of such freight and Sir. Cullop urged the
House TO concur in the majority report,
saying that the best interests of shippers
demanded the passage of the bill. which
would compel railroads to be more careful
in the handling and delivery of freight and
would lessen IN a very large degree the
losses of shippers The majority report
was concurred in and the bill engrossed.
upon Mr.. Kern's bill limiting rail-
road passenger charges to two
cents a mile. Mr.. Gent opposed the report,
and charged that the railroad committee
had been unduly influenced by railroads,
and that the adverse report was the conse-
quence of that influence. Mr.. Bernethy,
chairman, and Mr.. Inman. q member of the
committee. denied that any such influence
had been brought to bear, and stated that
the committees report was due to the fact
that il had under consideration q better
and moro comprehensive bill regulating
passenger charges. Mr.. Harrsll and other

The Northern Prison Investigation.

MICHIGAN CITY, Jan. @.-The prison COM
mittee OF the Senate and that of the House
on the Prison North to investigate that IN
stltution, from the moment of their arrival
at Michigan City, became the guests OF
Warden Murdoch, the gentleman who is to
,e investigated. Beside the members of the
regular committees, some of whom have
their wives along, there are about thirty
Others who have attached themselves to the
party in order to enjoy a free ride and the
hospitality of the warden. Forty-three
people were received in this investigating
junket and taken by him to the prison to
be entertained. Under. such circumstance
it is not expected that there will be any
serious effort at Investigation or that fol-
lowing one anything should be done to pain
so generous n gentlemanly o set OF
entertainers as are to-day doing the
hOnors at the northern prison. 1t is
already understood that the committee has
decided to pay no attention to a long list of
names of witnesses, some of them formerly
prison directors and others e~x-convicts,
who have knowledge of Warden Murdock's
management. The committee does not want
to find anything seriously wrong with the
warden and will 90 through with their eyes

yesterday is one of long standing. In rs

About thirty suite were brought. but
the squatters made a stubborn fight and the
case dragged along for years. About TIVE

his lantern to flag the forward section
OF the train which lie heard coming
down.
To his horror he discovered that the
train had again broken in two and that
the middle section, with no one 10 con-

frightful speed. The next moment a
car heavily loaded with cedar posts
struck the tail piece Of the train, and
