The silver bill as passed by the senate is
free from all the national bank and bond
legislation contained in the financial bill.
The senate disposed OF considerable
routine business, after which the election
bill was taken up and Mr.. Evarts spoke in
advocacy of it. He sent to the clerks
desk and had read an extract from speech
made by Judge B: B. Chriman, in the Mis-
sissippi constitutional convention last Sep
TENDER, denouncing the election methods
as carried on in that state That speech,
he said showed that there was in Missis-
sippi prevalence of subversion of law.
The constitution of Mississippi Che under
stooO provided that elections for, the low
er branch of the legislature should be held
once in four years-thus accustoming vol
ers to the disuse of the suffrage. What
Democratic community of the north would
submit to that?
Mr.. Milliken, of Maine, submitted re-
ports on the bills providing for the erection
of buildings at Sioux Falls, s. D.. and Port
land, Oregon, which were agreed to.

nsilver pool" question as follows: Messrr.

Mr.. Dockery, however, has resigned, and
Mr.: Peel, of Arkansas, has been appointed
in his place.
The conference report on the Mankato,
Mimi, bill was after debate agreed to. A
message from the senate was received an
nonncing the passage of the financial bill
with q free coinage substitute. The recep-
ton of this message by the Democratic side
was cordial and ELUSIVE, and Mr.. Bland, Of
Missouri, expressed the hope that early ac-
ton would be had upon the measure.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

Senator Carpenter of Los Angeles arose
to question of privilege yesterday after
noon, and caused to be read report in
the Bee concerning the discussion of the
Pomona County division bill in commit
tee on Monday evening. He denied that
he had, either directly or by inuendo,
charged that any member of the Legis-
lature had been or would allow himself to
be influenced in his action on the bill by
a money consideration. In referring to
the use of money his remarks were di-
rected at persons outside the Legislature.
Neither had he insinuated that he was
appraised of what the Governors action
would be on the bill, should it pass. He
had never spoken to the Executive on the
subject, and simply gave it as his proph-
ecy that the bill would MOTOR what he
regarded as proper and potent reasons
receive the Executives sanction,

Mollusk and Dunn Do Not Escape by
Habeas Corpus.
Mollusk and Dunn, the two young men
who assaulted man named Baldwin,
and whom Police Judge Cravens refuses
to discharge-des the fact that the
prosecuting witness has disappeared
must put up with more of the Judges
crankiness," as they are pleased to
call it.
They and their attorney appeared before
Superior Judge Catlin yesterday and
asked that they be released on habeas
corpus. Their attorney argued that Judge
Cravens had no right to arbitrarily con-
tinue the cases of his clients from day to
day without giving them trial, and de-
clared that if such powers were given
him there was nothing to stop him from
keeping the cases on the calendar twenty
years.
Judge Catlin, however, decided that the
Police Judge had not gone beyond his
power in the matter, and remanded Mol
lusk and Dunn to the custody of the
Sheriff

FRAUDULENT VOTERS.
One More Of Them is Convicted in the
Superior Court.
James Sullivan Voted Another Mans
Name, and VIII Now Pay
the Penalty.

District Attorney Frank Ryan secured
the conviction of another fraudulent
voter in the Superior Court.
This makes two already for this week.
The defendant this time was James
Sullivan. At the last election Sullivan
presented himself at the polls, at Third
and ] streets, and said his name was
Sullivan, and that he resided at the De
Witt House. He could not remember
his voting number, but somebody stand
ing conveniently near at hand kindly re-
minded him. His actions aroused sus-
picion and he was challenged. He then
swore his vote in.
DEPRIVED OF HIS VOTE.
1t was not long afterward that the
genuine Sullivan of the Dewitt House
presented himself at the polling place,
with his ballot, and to his surprise was
informed that she had already voted
once" His protests were of no avail.
The records showed that Sullivan of the
Dewitt House had voted, and that settled
it.
1t didn't settle it, as far as the fraudu-
lent Sullivan was concerned, though. He
was arrested and thrown into jail, and
has been there ever since, being unable
to get bail. ss
One of the most important witnesses
who testified against Sullivan was ex-
Police Judge Buckley, before whom Sui
IVAN had his preliminary examination.
Judge Buckley stated that during that
examination the prisoner confessed that
he had voted fraudulently, and that "a
man. had given him 81 so for his trouble.
This man" had given him the name and
number he voted.
When placed on the stand yesterday
Sullivan could remember nothing about
his testimony before Judge Buckley.
a TOUCH OF THE ''JIMs."
Il had been drinking heavily for some
time before election" lie said, ''and when
| testified in court / was shaking and had
a touch Of the jims."
The defendant stoutly maintained that
he considered that he had vote, and also
declared that he had registered on the
''hobo'' register, He also asserted that
he had really resided at the lodging
house before mentioned, but only for a
lew days prior to his registration, as he
had slept most of the time in the Lafay-
cite saloon and other recherche establish
ments of the kind. On election day. he
said, he was considerably the worse for
liquor. A man whom he did not know.
but who he thought used to be 'hokey-
pokey" dealer in the Lafayette, APP
preached him and asked him if he had a
vote. Upon receiving in affirmative
reply, this individual looked over the
register and told him what his number
was. This same individual was also
kind enough to assist him to the polls
and see that be ''voted all right"
Charles n. Post, attorney for Sullivan,
offered the ''hobo'' register in evidence,
and called the attention of the court to
Sullivan's name therein. Judge Van
Fleet looked at it and discovered that the
name on the register was John Sullivan.

gives. '5

On his examination Dlirrer was purged
OF contempt and discharged by the court.
Durrer now sues for damages. and al

out probable cause. He says further that
in making his defense he was compelled
to employ attorneys and pay certain
costs. Besides this his feelings were

quire $4,000 of Mrs. Jones' money to

Gen. scout il Mexico.
There resides in Junction City Il vet
eran of two wars John Black, who
until very recently endcavorcd to gain
q livelihood on farm, now lives com
fortably upon the allowance granted by
the government. He was born in Ire
land siXty-sevcn years ago, but came to
this country when q mere boy. Arriv-
ing at the age of maturity he entered
the regular army, serving twenty-one
years in the Second dragoons under
Gen. Harney. He was in most of the
battles in the Mexican war, and carried
the first shell to the battery that COM
menced the operations against Chapul
tepec. This act was recorded and stands
to his credit in Washington. He was
Gen. Scott's orderly when the triumph
ant entry was made into the City Of
Mexico. After the Mexican war closed
Black was with his command in the
Utah expedition. His company was the
one that first visited the scene of the
Mountain Meadow massacre. where he
helped to bury the bones of the unfor-
tunate men, women and children who
were killed by the Indians under the
leadership of Mormons. He secured
from thorn bush long trcss of silky,
brown hair, which told sad story of
some poor woman who there ended her
journey. In 1859 he was stationed at
Fort Riley, where he served siy years
as orderly sergeant, his days of active

a Strange Deal.

A Madison (Wis.) young man became
engaged to q young lady who resided in
neighboring city. He placed beau
tiful diamond ring upon her finger as a
token of his love- and as a tic which
should bind their hearts in the bonds of
sacred engagement. For awhile all
things went smoothly and the lovers
were apparently happy. In an evil hour
the girl became attached to another
suitor, broke her engagement with our
Madison friend, and married the man Of
her choice. Naturally the disconsolate
young man-her former lover-cxpected
the return of his ring. He waited. and
it came not, He wrote to her for it and
she ignored his letter. He wrote again
and still no reply. A third letter, with
the same results. Finally the young
man told friend of tho circumstances,
and offered him his claim in the ring
for twenty-five dollars. The friend ac-
ceptcd the offer and wrote to the lady's
husband for the ring, but he refused to
give it up. The purchaser then en-
ployed lawyer to sue for it. Rather
than have lawsuit the parties gave up
the ring.
