OVENS MISTAKE.
The House WIN Have An Opportunity
TO Right Itself Tomorrow Morning.

Speaker Owen as an interpreter OF the
constitution has not infrequently fallen
into error, either through ignor-
ance or with deliberate intent.
His ruling on Thursday, that an
adjournment for two days by less than a
quorum was allowable, was in direct viola
tion OF Section of Article 4, which pro-
vides that such adjournment must be
from day to day. The roll-call on the
question of adjournment showed the
presence OF bat 26 members which was
10 less than n quorum. The majority
labored under the delusion that Arbor
Day was legal holiday, and hence jumped
to the conclusion that session
must be called for Saturday. In order to
extricate themselves from their dilemma,
they must meet tomorrow morn
ing "a il in session on Thurs
day, and then proceed with ad-
journments to Friday and Saturday to
conform TO the econstitution requirements.
They seem to be fearful OF pro-
roguement as they have given no
indication OF any intention to
fix upon any date Of final adjournment,
aud they are apparently determined to
hang on as long as they are rea-
sonably sure OF counting upon
quorum TO transact business.

Peculiar Case Heard Before Judge
Cooke This Morning.

Gecufldf 1asc ftedfu tDtIOFt JuuHc
Cooke This Morning.
An exceedingly peculiar case was aired
in the Sixth District Court today. John
4. Sullivan of this city was sued by a
creditor recently and an attachment was
placed op some property of Sullivan's, in
cluding hack. The day alter
the attachment Sullivan wanted to
use the hack and applied TO Constable
Rabbit who served the papers. The con-
stable called for bond and one was pre-
pared which Sullivan signed. Rabbit
demanded Mrs. Sullivan's signature and
claims that her son subscribed her name,
and she, by touching the pen, legalized
the signature.
But when it came TO recovering posses
sion of the hack difficulty arose. Mrs.
Sullivan denied the signature and the
constable carried the matter into court.
Judge Cooke heard the case. Rabbit
swore that the woman was present and
that she touched the pen Mrs. Sullivan
denied being present and said that she did
not authorize anyone to sign for her.
Judge Cooke declared that the case had
resolved itself into one of two criminal
offenses, perjury on one side or forgery on
the other. The son was called,
but refused to testify as it might tend to
crimisate himself. Finally alter calling
the attention of the chief of police to the
case the judge decided in favor of the
plaintiff.
