GRAND RAPIDS DAY eY DAY.

Some of the bicycle boys object to
what they seem to consider n whole
sale denunciati3n in the columns of
THE HERALD. Wholesale denuncia-
ton was not intended, but emphatic
condemnation of the rude, reckless

cycle riders on the busting business

streets at night without carrying .
light. The sharp warning of the
bicycle bell IL meant "a hint to the

There is no malice on the part of the

finding and complaint.

THE NEWS OF ALBANY.
Earl Succeeds Ruger and Maynard Sue.
ceets Earl-The Senate Cases.


ALBANY, Jan. 20--1n the senate the PM.
vate secretary OF Governor Flower brought
in the nomination Of Robert Earl, OF Her.
kimer county, to be chief judge Of the
court OF appeals. On motion of Senator
Roeech, Earls nomination was unanimously
confirmed. The nomination of Deputy At.
torney General ]. II. Maynard to be judge
of the court of appeals in place Of Judge
Earl was also received and confirmed by a
party vote, Senator Edwards voting with
the Democrats
Interest in the sessions Of the committees
OF the legislature centered in the senate
Judiciary where the cases Of Senators Er.
win, OConnor and Saxton charged with
contempt, was taken up. The members Of
the committee are Democratic Senators
Roeech, Parker, Cantor, McMahon, McClel.
Land and Bloodgood and Republican Sena,
tors Saxton, OConnor and Mullin. BY 8
party vote Saxton and O'Connor, the 40.
cused senator's, were debarred from voting
with the committee
Chairman Roesch then read the proceed.
ngs Of the senate upon the day in question,
and Senator Cantor asked that each Of the
accused be allowed to speak in his own de.
fense, and it was granted.
Senator Erwin was the first to answer,
and said he came not as a suppliant, not be.
cause be was afraid OF cold prison walls, but
because he represented 60,OO0 people who
were disenfranchised and without represen.
tation. Rule IA, under which the senate
pretended to have acted in removing him,
did not cover the case at all There were
now no rrhes, and 80 how could q senator be
in contemptl An TINT they had been
guilty d was breach Of order, and not, as
the law said, disorierly conduct. II know
that IN this case nm right, 80 I refuse tc
apologize II You can find any book OF show
me | am wrong, then / might apologize
There Is no reason why you should NOT
purge US of contempt. / simply ask such
treatment az your hands as my people, not
I, deserve
Senator Saxton pleaded not guilty, and
claimed that every member Of a delibera.
tive body had a right to act intelligently,
and so long as he lived they could never
force him 10 vote for measure he had not
read.
Senator 0Connor said that his action on
the bill was not because he objected Il
enumeration, but he objected TO being made
to vote for bill he had never seen. He cited
many sections of the law TO show that the
senate had acted Illegally in debarring them
from voting and that its only power was to
impI1son, and thus, by that imprisonment,
to debar. He believed that If this question
came up on the enumeration the courts
would decide that the rule under which the
senators were charged with contempt was
unconstitutional
The committee then went into executive
session
In the house the enumeration bill was
ordered to a third reading.

nearly two thousand miners gathered on
the hillsides about the Coal Creek stockade
and kept up a constant firing Of small arms

the two small block houses, which contain
two hundred state troops. The miners
came SO close to the military pickets that
an exchange Of shots was indulged in None
Of the soldiers We're hit, and it is thought
that the miners escaped without injury.
Miners swear that when they get ready
they viii exterminate the civil guards.
state troops and the convicts, and forever
end convict labor in the mountains Of east
Tennessee. The officer in charge has asked
for reinforcements, and one company OF
infantry has been sent out from Knoxville.
The miners say that no more soldiers nor
convicts shall enter the valley
fight is expected at any minute The
soldiers are well fortified, vet the miners
can outnumber them a hundred to one.
The Kentucky miners and those about
Jellico are ready to join their Tennessee
friends at a moments notice.
