FLoRIDA's LEGISLATURE.
Good Progress Made Under the Lead
ership of Speaker Johnston.

ership of Speaker Johnston.
Tallahassee, Fla, April 22-Never has
the method adopted by Speaker Johnston
been better illustrated than in the week
just passed On each day the calendar
was cleared and the work of the House
goes on without interruption.
The business before the House to-day
was the Jacksonville charter bill, known
as Senate bill No 3. For this bill a sub
stitute had been prepared by the board
of trade. which it was supposed the
Stockton faction would support. 1t now
appears, however, that the support in
question is likely to be lacking, and that
neither the original nor substitute will
get through In the House Mr. Gilchrists
resolution denying the privileges of the
floor to such correspondents as ma
liciously misrepresent members of the
House was roconsidered, and, finally, on
motion of Mr. Della of Alachua, was in
definitely postponed.
Bills Incorporating the Withlacoochee
River railroad, relative to the pay of wit
nesses, sales of public property by super
intendents public instruction and Senator
Summers Labor day bill, all passed
The Senate had before it several new
bills, one of which, introduced by Mr..
Mckay of HillsbOro, was in favor Of
amending the charter of Tampa.
Senator Thomas again introduced his
resolution indOrsing the Nicaragua canal
scheme which was passed.
George w. Walker of Tallahassee has
been confirmed as state attorney for the
Second circuit court of the state.
The session has been dull and business
only has interrupted the even tenor of
way that must soon be broken by legisla
ton of a tempestuous order
Senator Pasco will probably be here
Monday to receive the congratulations of
party friends and on that day may be ex-
pected an ovation such as Tallahassee has

SPOILED THEIR FACES.
Handsome Young Men Tattooed Like
Fits.

Fijis.
A Delaware (O.) special says: A sensa-
tional prank of college students was
played last night by the sophomore
fraternity, the Delta Omricron Alphas,
upon the Sigma Zeta Mus, Greek letter
fraternity of the junior class. The latter
is composed of S. G.. Harm of Springfield
Bert Rogers of Coshocton, Albert Austin
and w. Bert Brown of this city. They
were in the act Of initiating Percy Wilson
of Chattanooga. Tenn, into the secrets Of
their order, and were going through the
ceremonies in the Chi Phi hall when a dele
cation of the Delta Omricron Alphas,
twelve in number, broke into the hall,
overpowered the Sigma Mus, bound them
hand and foot, and proceeded to brand
them on their faces.
The branding iron was a stick of caus-
tic. or nitrate Of silver. The letters d. O.
A. were made on each cheek and chin re
spectively, and marks of horns We're made
on the forehead Mr. Wilson, the new
initiate. was given a light dose, only one
cheek being marked. The branded per-
sons made themselves scarce at recita-
tions this morning, but were required to
visit physicians Mr.. Harm was told by
the latter that in all probability ne would
carry his scars TO the grave. All the men
were handsome, and stand high in So
ciety. but the black tattooing Of the d. o.
A. makes them look like Fits ready for
battle.
The five students branded with the nj
trate of silver have since suffered internal
main and have bed freely from their
wounds. Physicians say they are
branded for life This evening the vic
tins swore out warrants for the offenders
The penalty in this state is from one to
twenty years. The best attorneys in the
city have been retained by both sides.

time ago about a crowd of men going to
the home of George Bell and whipping
him and shooting his wife in the leg,
which had to be amputated. The treas

Der. After viewing the sights OF the lar
west he will proceed to Chicago.
There was not a quorum at the meetlng
OF the national committee today and an
adjournment was taken until tomorrow,
when the Sunday closing question Will be
taken up. Late this afternoon there was
an informal meeting of mem
bers of the local directory
and national committee at which
the question was thoroughly discussed.
1t was announced at the conclusion OF the
meeting that a resolution revoking the
Sunday opening rule recently adopted by
the local directory will be submitted
for concurrence of the commissioners.
This will be done for testing the power
OF the commission.
First Vice President Peck of the local
directory, said today the management OF
the fair had determined to open the gates
Sunday. People demanded it and the
people were all powerful. As result the
attempt of the Worlds fair executive
officials will be to exclude United States
government officials from the grounds ex-
cept on payment of admission fees.
Captain Deremer, chief of the gate in
spectors, and Gatekeeper Schuenan were
arrested this afternoon by a deputy
United States marshal and held in $500
bonds for hearing.

FOUR MEN DROWNED.
Negligence of People on Shore Cause,
the Loss of Four Lives.

Negligence of People on Shore Causes
the Loss of Four Lives.
CHICAGO, May 15.-Four lives were
lost in Lake Michigan off Lake Bluff, Sat-
urday, apparently through negligence OF
people on shore. A lady walking on the
beach Friday afternoon saw small sail
ing vessel some distance out, flying sig
nails of distress. Through glass she
could see four men on board. She re-
ported the matter to laborers at the
camp meeting ground, but they
laughed at the story. For some
unaccountable reason nobody thought
anything more of the matter till Saturday
afternoon, when some boys who had been
watching the craft from shore reported
that they saw it give a lurch and every
thing disappeared but the top of the
mast. Interest was then taken in the
matter and some men went out in boat
They found the body of John Larson
dashed to the mast, but the others had
fioated away.
Investigation revealed the fact that Lar
son, Charles Lendberg, Peter johnson and
John Swanson started from Waukegan
for Chicago on Friday q. M, intending
to sell the yacht when they reached here.
The craft was in bad condition and be-
came unmanageable in the high wind and
the unfortunate men found graves in the
Jake.

LOAN COMPANY IN TROUBLE.

The Northwestern Guaranty Sc Loan As
ISOLATION in a s,laky Condition.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, May 15.-The
Northwestern Guaranty Loan company is
in financial embarrassment owing to the
financial stringency. President Menage
was shown statement by Vice President
Lowry, made in New York, as to the
company's affairs, saying that the COM
pany might have to suspend today, at
least could not stave it OF long. He adj
mitted that Lowry's statement was a fair
one, but added that the company had not
suspended. Further than this he would
not talk. If the company suspends it will
not do so for several days. 1t is believed
in business circles here that the company
will pay in full, as the resources are ample
under ordinary circumstances.
The Northwestern Guarantee Loan
company is embarrassed, but has not
failed, said one OF the officers this even
ing. The Office is open, but
there is a possibility that we
may be obliged to Close It
seems the company's embarrassment
! is largely brought about by town site
speculation in Galveston, Tex, Illinois,
New Jersey and elsewhere. The money
for these investments was secured in the
east by floating debenture bonds. These
notes are becoming due, and the COM
pany, not having sufficient funds to meet
them, is necessarily embarrassed.

Two Montana Toughs Meet Death by a
Sheriff's Posse.
HELENA. Mon, May 14.-[Special. J.
Harry Gross and William Gay, two out
laws, were hunted through the noun
tains of Meagher county for four days last
week. Late Saturday night the posse re-
turned to White Sulphur Springs and
gave it out that the men had escaped,
though they brought with them the
horses and rifles of the outlaws. The
men were wanted for the murder OF Dep
uty Sheriff RAIDER, near Castle. RAIDER
had attempted to arrest Gay on charge
of arson.
Friday night the posse surrounded the
desperadoes in the brush, some fifty miles
north of Big Timber, and in the fight that
followed William Mackay, one OF the
posse, was shot and will probably die.
The hiding place of the outlaws was sur
rounded, the brush set on fire and the
woods patrolled. The posse knew the
men would not be taken alive, and the
fact that they brought back their horses
and Winchesters is pretty good evidence
that the expense of further pursuit is un-
necessary.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 15.-News that the
United States Supreme court had con-
firmed the const1tutionality of the Chi

great interest. Chinese stood about in
large groups before their own bulletin
boards for some statement from the six

fuse to register. They were not inclined
to accept the report through the Ameri-
can newspapers. During the first hour
there was no outward excitement among

was distasteful and unexpected. Chinese

BRAZIL, Ind, May 15.-Tne news OF a
bloody fight in the little mining town OF
Benwood, this county, reached here to-
day. Benwood and Cardonia are rival
mining towns and have often bloody wars
over arguments of supremacy. Saturday
night at dance given at Benwood crowd

the avoWed intention of making trouble.
A fight ensued in which about sixty per-

no less than thirty people were cut and
bruised, some very seriously, and had to
be carried from the field. Officers of the
law were unable to check the riot, and
further hostilities are looked for.
