A BIG SENSATION IN BULGARIA
Tumult in the Sobrapj. over the Heir
Appareht's keIigiOn.


Sofia, Bulgaria, Dec. 15.-At the meet
ing of Sobranje today M. Neithcoff, a
deputy, in a speech opposed voting any
money for the government owing to It's
attitude upon the religion Of the heir ap-
parent, Prince Boris, who, according to
the announcement made by his father,
Prince Ferdinand, is to be baptized in the
orthodox Greek (Russlan) church. The
president of Sobranje refused to allow M.
Neithcoff to proceed on these lines, but
the latter persisted, declaring he would
only yield to force. The president and
the government officials thereupon left
the chamber amid immense applause.
M. Neithcoff maintained his position to
the tribune until the president returned
to the chamber. The president was greet
ed with a tumult and retired but he soon
returned and ordered the removal from
the chamber OF M. Neithcoff. Half doz-
en- ushers sprang forward to execute the
order, but they were beaten and finally
expelled by some of M. Neithchoff' 8
friends, while others of them led M. Meth
coff out of the house.
A tumultuous scene followed and the
president declared he would resign. He
left the chair. but was literally carried
back by a majority of the deputies, who
finally adjourned the house.

ton for said state capitol at par in
cash, if issued on the letting Of the con-
tract for the superStructure of the build
ing for which bids are or will be in
vited; and that by so doing the COM
pletion of the building from said fund
and without resort to any other fund
is insured and the contract price for
said letting can be reduced several
thousand dollars and said sum saved
to the state, and without SO doing said
contract can not be let;
Resolved, That on letting the con-
tract the commission, with the consent
of the contractor, issue to the auditor it's
certificate directing the auditor to is
sue warrants on the state capitol build
ing fund payable to order of the con-

rendered and material furnished and
that the person therein named is emit

named; said certificates to be audited
and allowed by the state auditor"
In pursuance Of a plan to submit the
question of the right of the commission

application will be made by a restrain
ing order to prevent the commission
and auditor from further proceeding,
when the issues, with all legal questions
involved, will come fully before the
court for final adjudication.

WciSbaden millionaire,

New York, Dec. IA special to local
paper from Berlin says:
Another frightful tragedy has just
been enacted in Weisbaden which illus
trates the danger of harboring so-called
harmless lunatics in private families For
years the we'll known millionaire, Herr
Aschoff, has refused to permit the incar-
ceration of his son in an insane asylum,
Through the affidavits Of prominent phys
icians he managed to eVade the law which
forbids the keeping of lunatics outside of
state or private institutions. In a sud
den fit of anger young Ashcoff grabbed
a carving knife from table and stabbed
his aged father to death. The enraged
young man then attempted to kill him
self, but only succeeded in inflicting some
slight wounds, as the cries of the father
brought the other members of the family
on the scene, who disarmed him and pre-
vented suicide.

that the real interests of temperance

ROUGH AND TUMBLE FIGHT.
Exciting Scenes Mark the Adjournment of
the Indiana legislature.


INDIANAPOLIS, March 13.-The legisla-
turc adjourned at midnight in the midst
of a rough and tumble tight in which at
least seventy-tivc men took part, punch
ing, kicking, scratching and slugging
with mad desperation. Private Secretary
King, who had two bills in his pocket
from the governor ard which had been
held till the last moment, at one time
was on the floor with at least thirty MEM
bers piled in a heap on top. clawing and
fighting like dogs in pit. Custodian
Timothy Griffin of the state house had the
life nearly crushed out of him ut Kings
side. and a score Of heads of Democratic
and Republican members were pounded
and cracked till they looked as if they had
come from prize fight.
Representative Adams, Republican,
from Park county was badly maulcd in
the face and will be unpresentable for
days. Representative Allen, Republican,
of Washington county, chairman of the
ways and means. was hammered until it
was question whether he could be re-
suscitared. No such scene of wild uproar
was ever witnessed in the Indiana lcgis-
lature before The trouble arose out of a
scheme on the part of Republicans to
balk Governor Matthews, who had de-
terminei to prevent the assembly pass
ing over his veto bill to take the con-
troll of tie state house out of the hands
of Democrats. The bill in question. with
the famous fee and salary bill, was due
at the session not later than 1l:55 p. III.
The fee and salary had the governors
signature, but the state house bill carried
his veto. Five minutes left before the
hour of adjournment was not sufficient
to pass the state house bill over the veto
in both branches.
The scheme was to intercept Secretary
King in the elevator and keep him from
returning the bills so that they would be-
come laws under the constitution, the
same as if they had never been signed.
When King attempted to leave the cleva-
tor Adams and Allen, mentioned in the
foregoing. crowded in the door and held
him. They began running the elevator
up and down until n Democratic police
man opened the door. King, assisted by
Custodian Griffin, made a rush for the
| house, broke through the doors and was
| instantly piled on by dozen big Republic
ans waiting inside. The Democratic
members rushed to the rescue, headed by
Williams of Posey, and the fight began.
Others joined in, and. while it went on,
the hour OF midnight arrived, and the
house adjourned. The two bills thus be-
came laws.
