THE OHIO LEGISLATURE.
Several Important Measures Introduced
During the Opening Day.

DuIihS tAiC OPoaAA-A6 Dny'
COLUMBUS, Jan. 6.-The Ohio Legisla-
ture convened in adjourned session at P.
M. and listened to the reading of the Gov
ernor's message Anumber of bills were IN
troduced, the most important being for the
abolition of the State Board of Pardons,
against which there has a sentiment de-
veloped that the penitentiary is being too
rapidly depopulated. Bills were also offered
for the changing of the insane districts OF
the State in the interest of the cities.
Joint resolutions were offered in the lower
branch for a non-partisan commission of
four members to inquire into the fee and
salary system of the State and report to. the
Governor of the next General Assembly by
bill for remedy. The object is to abolish
the fee system and establish a uniform sal
ary for county and city officers, and thus
get rid of the complaints made against tine
enormous sums realized by these officials at
present. A resolution was offered for re-
submission of the tax amendment, which
was once defeated before the people, giving
the Legislature the power of levying taxes
for general purposes. An adjournment was
taken to Thursday, and the members OF both
branches will attend the funeral Of Senator
Robertson at Sidney tomorrow.

Of the IS indictments for forgery embezzle-
ment, ETC., found against him. all but six have

remaining are simply cases of larceny.

Condemns the County Officers.

The Grand Jury OF Mono county,
Cal, has rendered lengthy report
of its investigation of the death of
All Tia, the Chinaman who was tor
tured and cut to pieces by Indians at
Bridgeport. Tia was charged by the
Coroner's jury with the murder OF
Poker Tom, an Indian who was found
cut to pieces. The report says the
Justice of the Peace discharged Tai Of
custody when the evidence was suf1i-
cient TO hold him, and that the pros
ecuting attorney did not object when
counsel for the defense moved for
dismissal against the defendants
wish, we'll knowing the client would
be murdered il left unprotected. The
report finds that when the defendant
was discharged the Court refused to
give him protection but left the
courtroom and announced the result
of the examination on the street.
Three or four Indians then rushed
into the courtroom, seized All Tai
and took him to the outskirts of the
town and cut him to pieces while
alive. The Sheriff had positive
knowledge OF what was about to oc-
eur, but refused to protect the vic
tim unless paid for it. The Indians,
who were from the Government re-
servation at Walker Lake, Nevada,
were encouraged in their criminal
act and abbelted by some of the eiti-
zens of the town The report con-
cludes The peace officers of this
town utterly failed in their duty and
have therby caused cloud of shame
and disgrace to bang over the heads
of our people. The action of the
Deputy District Attorney is also Sc
verely condemned. All Tia was
born in California and was conse-
quently citizen Of the United States.

Beef Cattle.

A careful estimate of all the cattle
this side of the mountains foots up
1850, divided as follows, says the
Reno Gazette;
Ruby Valley, $50; Barney Horn,
500; Glover Valley, 600; Paradise
Valley, Owens River and all points
north of Winnemucca, 1000, Love-
locks, 1900; Mason Valley, 1900;
Antelope Valley, 400; Carson Sink,
1900; Truckee Meadows, 5000; Hon
ey Lake, 1850. Besides these there
are about $500 in Shasta Valley.
This looks as if San Francisco
butchers would have to pay for beef
before Spring. Beef is now selling
in Omaha for liz and ~ cents.
Washington has none; Oregon is
short; Arizona will not contribute
any considerable amount to the mar :
ket, and it looks decidedly encourag-
ing for the feeders this year. We
shall be greatly disappointed if beef
is not worth 7 or ~ cents before the
close of February.

FINED FOR CONTEMPT.
Evan Williams Loses His Head In the

EVAN N1lltams Loses HIS HEAD IN the
Hale and NOrcrOss Trial.
The San Francisco Post says in its
report If the trial of the case of Fox
against he Hale and Norcross Mining
Company:
The trial of the case of w. w. Fox
VS.. the Hale and Norcross Company
was resumed to-day by Judge Hub
bard. Clayton Belknap was called
and testified that the company always
received settler samples with the bat
terry assays.
Evan Williams, the Superintendent
of the Nevada Mill and Vice Presi-
dent of the Bullion Bank, was recall
ed. He was asked if there were not
deposits Of bullion in the Bullion
Bank in the name of Charles II. Peters.
Mr.. Williams said that there probably
were such deposits. He was asked
if they were for large amounts That,
he said, he could not answer without
consulting the books of the bank.
He was asked If he would produce
the books. He declined to do SO, as
he did not think the business of the
bank was at all connected with the
issues on trial. He would not there
fore consent to expose the private
business of the banks customers.
Byron Waters of counsel for the
defense strenuously objected to the
way the prosecution was conducting
its case. He denouced the various
little speeches thrown in by the at
torneys for the prosecution as made
with hope that they will be pub
lshed in the newspapers and will be-
smirk the regulations of the defend
ants.
Mr.. Williams was also asked if bull
lion had not been sent to the Mint
after business hours. He said that it
might have been done on arrival of
late trains.
The sensation of the day occurred
when the following question was ask
ed the witness:
"Do you know anything about the
loss of two to FIVE bars of bullion
shipped from Piacerville to Los An
geles and traced by Well, Fargo &
Co. and claimed by you2"
II do not know anything about IT,
| never heard anything about it, and
ANYBODY who said | did is c.
d. liar
Judge Hnbbard-You are fined $50
for contempt Of Court, and ii the fine
is not promptly paid you will be i'm
pfis"ned
Your Honor said Williams, my
reputation is at stake, and | cannot
quietly submit To such infamous in
slnnations.n
The excitement quieted down and
after little more testimony the Court
took n recess until O'Clock.
When the Court reconvened Attor-
ney Woods asked the Court to remit
the fine imposed upon Mr.. Williams.
He said that Mr.. Williams had used
the improper expression in moment
of sudden anger. He had misunder-
stood Attorney Baggett's question.
He had not wilfully intended an act
of disrespect to the Court.
Judge Hubbard declined TO remit
! the fine.

A soulless Corporation.

The Virginia and Gold Hill Water
Company's taxes were raised $4,000
this year by the State Assessors, and
now the company is proceeding to get
even on Storey county by notifying
the Commissioners that unless they
pay $3.50 more per month for water
for fire purposes the supply will be
shut off, and Virginia and Gold Hill
left without protection from fire. The
fire mains are separated from the
other system of water supply and
we're put in place and kept in repair
at the expense of the county. The
threat of the company has aroused
great excitement on the Comstock
and serious trouble is apprehended if
the corporation carries out its nefari
Gus proposition of leaving property
unprotected from fire.
