the substitute should be construed as an
authorization for a bond issue. The Cobb
amendment was beaten without a division,
and the Cox substitute, on a rising vote,
by So to 1874.
This disposed of the substitutes and
amendments. and the vote was then taken
on the third reading and engrossment of
the bill itself. which was defeated on a
rising vote-97 to 159. Mr.. Springer de-
nianded the nays and yeas and the roll
was called, confirming the rejection Of the
measure, the vote standing 154 to ISL. Be-
fore the vote was announced, Mr.. Reed
arose and attempted to make an e~xplana-
ton of the part that he and many of his
colleagues had voted for the bill, but he
got no further than the statement that he
had made a proposition to Mr.. Springer that
seemed to him fair, when he was howled
down by a chorus of objections from the
Democratic Sic.
Mr.. Springer then entered a motion to re-
consider the vote by which the third read
ing of the bill was refused, and Mr.. Hatch
promptly moved to lay that motion on the
table. The latter motion was carried-135 to
123. This ended the fight. The victors made

AGAINST CHARITY BALLS.
Marion Take Action that
Creates q Sensation.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MARION, Ind, Feb. THE Commercial
Club gave a charity ball last night, which
was generally attended, and which will
yield several hundred dollars to be distrib-
uted among; the. poor. There has been a
sort of tacit understanding that the money
is to be rendered to the Women's Christian
Association for distribution. This associa-
ton includes members of all the different
churches in the city. Last night at the
close of a meeting held at the First Method
list Church the subject of the charity ball
was brought up, and resolutions were adopt
ed, as follows:
Resolved, That the members of the First
Methodist EpiscC pal Church disapprove of
the Woman'S Christian Association disburS-
ing the ball room furd raised by the Marion
Commercial Club. md since the organic
law of the Methodist Episcopal Church for
bids all completely with such forms of
worldly dissipation, and since each member
vowed to sacredly Keep said church law and
Discipline,
Resolved, That IN case the Woman'S
Christian Association accept said bali room
fund, we earnestly request such members of
the WOman'S Christian Association as are
members of the Methodist Episcopal Church
to withdraw their names and memberships
from said WOmariS Christian Association"
1t is generally believed that the associa-
ton will accept the money and distribute 1t,
as it did last wear.

CatlettSburg Democrat.
Died. at the home of his brother, near
this place, on Jan. l6, Alamander Martin,
in the seventy-ninth year of his age. He
was born in ohio; came with his parents to
Kentucky at an early age. He was we'll

model in the way of economy, INDUSTRY and
honesty. His voice will nc more be heard

ness. We will greatly miss him, but pray
the Lord to reconcile us TO this sad be-
reavement, knowing that our loss is his

sermon was preached from the Book of
God, after which a large concourse of peo-
pie followed his remains to their last rest
ing place unln called forth on the resur-
rection morn. The GLOWING is a short
sketch of his life:
During Mr.. Martins early life
The country was full of witches.
He carried a gun and butcher knife,
And wore the leather breaches.
But as time advanced
He changed his pants,
Yet still preferred the leather.
He would often tell
The way they would smell
In time of rainy weather.
He was a man of iron nerve,
A voice loud and piercing;
His head was gray, his spine curved,
Before he quit his cursing.
His latter days were days of peace,
A change in disposition;
AS strength gave way grace increased,
And saved him from perdition.
Now he sails on lions ship,
No more pains from his poor old hip.
He is done with troubles here below
And gone where all good mortals go.
