Court Of Appeals Not Likely to Reach Brecsin-
ridges Case For Some Time.

WAsHINGToS, April IL. - Representa-
tive Breckinridge and his counsel were
engaged yesterday afternoon in prepar-
ing their formal motion for new trial
This motion isa mere formality In the
way Of an appeal to the district court OF
appeals, for no one entertains the slight
est idea that Judge Bradley will over
rule the jury and grant the motion.
The motion will be based upon the
usual grounds that the verdict was con-
trary to law, and was contrary to the
evidence and that the damages were ex-
cessive. Saturday is motion day In Judge
Bradley's court but the Judge thinks Of
taking a short vacation for rest from his
labors OF the past month, so that the
date for the hearing Is uncertain.
The docket of the court Of appeals is so
crowded that il is quite probable the APP
peal cannot be heard there before next
Septem Der, when the court meets for its
fall term. The cost of An appeal 20 this
court is so great that Il might well deter
the defense from prosecuting the case
further IL will be necessary to have
printed for the court, at the expense of
the appellant, a record OF the court pro-
ceedings in the circuit, and this, consider
ing the length Of such document, will
be a heavy expense initself.

TO ADJOURN APRIL q.
That's What the Senate
Votes TO Do.
THE EANTI-VACCINATl0NA ACT
Speaker Owen Refuses to Allow the
Matter to Be Taken From Table.

The Senate held short session today,
amount of routine matters. One matter
which settled a controversy that has
lasted all during the January session was
the resolution TO pay the clerks and at
teBdants at the May session which was
finally concurred In, allowing them 900
each.
The Senate also, upon a resolution pre-
sented by Senator Freeman, indicated
when IL wished to adjourn finally. The
date set by Senator Freeman was next
Friday but Senator Miller moved to
amend 1t by making tho time April "a, and
as amended was passed.
The House referred II to the judiciary
Committee.
In the House DR.. Gsrvin presented an
act relative to LABOR Day and providing
for fine of go for working or causing
work to be done in any manufacturing
establishment on that day.
A resolution allowing 5000 for con-
struction and furnishings at the State
Institutions was passed, AMI then Mr..
Allen moved TO take from the table the
motion to reconsider the vote whereby
anti vaccination act was defeated.
This raised a breeze right away. Messrs.
Honey, Garvin, Mccarthy, Brown aud
Mulholland fought against taking from
the ta ble upon point Of order raised by
Mr.. Honey that II was In violation OF rule
so OF the House.
The other side was as holly contested by
Messrs. Wilson and Allen. After hearing
both sides Speaker Owen ruled the point
OF order raised by Mr.. Honey as well
taken.
Mr.. Alien appealed from the ruling OF
the chair, but the Speaker said the matter
was plain that he would refuse to enter
tain the appeal. rhe Speaker was mex
corable and Mr.. Alien subsidized In very
grumbling mood.
An act raising the age OF consent from
IL to 10 years was reported by Mr.. Honey
aud passed, rs was also an act for the bet
ter protection If children.
After the passage of few other matters
the House adjourned to Thursday
