LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
DOINGS OF THE STATE LAWMAKERS
AT LANSING.

Bills and Resolutions Introduced by sena-
Proceedings in Both Houses-Other state
News of Interest to Our People.
LANSING, May 25.-The house has passed
joint resolution submitting to the peo-
pie in November, 1896, the question of rel
egating municipal charter legislation to
the municipalities. The senate capital
punishment bill was reported from the
committee, amended so that executions
will not take place until one year after
conviction, and the Michigan instead of
the Ohio definition is adopted. The sem
ate passed bills admitting all foreign COR
porations to the state upon the same foot
ing as those organized within the state,
and appropriating $40, 900 for the food and
dairy commissioners department.. ALI
after the enacting clause was stricken out
of the Jewell BILL which proposed to tax
sleeping, dining and parlor COR property.
LANSING, Mich, May 27-The senate
has. passed bill requiring lobbyists to be
registered and sworn statements of their
expenses from those employing them;
also bill increasing the special tax upon
the gross earnings of railroad companies
one.half of per cent, and If earnings are
in excess of IS, 900 per mile 1t is increased
] per cent, and the Donovan interchange
able railway mileage book bill. The
house passed the Kelley congressional APP
portionment bill; the bill appropriating
$40, 900 for the support of the home for
the feeble-minded and the epileptic; the
state public school appropriation bill, and
the bill creating com mission to locate
normal school in the upper peninsula and
making an appropriation of $l400 900
therefor.
LANSING, May rs The house last night
by vote of 43 to 49, defeated the capital
punishment bill which passed the senate
last week. The vote was reconsidered,
however, and the bill was tabled, but as
it lacks eight votes of the requisite ma
jority and today is the last day of the ses-
sion, it seems improbable that the meas
ure can pass.
LANSING, May 29-Tho senate killed
the anti-treating bill passed by the house,
also the bill providing for payment of
taxes semi-annually, the bill prohibiting
extra charges by express companies upon
transportation of poultry and live stock,
and the bill for the incorporation of trust
companies in cities. The house passed
the bill requiring social clubs to pay $500
liquor tax except Arbeiter clubs and those
that use liquor profits for mortuary pur-
poses, and the Shaw newspaper libel bill.
The capital punishment bill was killed.
The legislature has adjourned sine die,
leaving about sixty bills to be acted upon
by the governor during the constitutional
five days beginning Friday noon.

the Northern Peninsula.
HoUGHToN, May 27.-Reports received
here show that forest fires are again rag
ing throughout the northern peninsula,
and that a great amount Of damage has
been done. The few farmers are focking
into the towns, and every effort is being
made to save the lumber and mining
camps from total destruction. A bush
fire which has been burning In the neigh
borhood of this city for the last few days
worked its way into town.
One house on the outskirts of the west
ern part of the town was destroyed, and
for time it looked as though the whole
of that portion of the town would be de-
stroyed. The citizens and the men who
have come in here for shelter succeeded
in saving the town. A fierce forest fire Is
raging near the Allouez mine, and that
property is in danger.

PERSONAL.

The many friends of Mamie Farrell
will. be sorry to learn that she has left
the city to make her home with her sis
ter, Mrs. Kate Mccain OF Lawrence,
Mass.
The Brooklyn trolley car strikers have
finally given up the strike and are ask
ing that they be restored in body.
This, of course, the company naturally
objects to. The men left their employ
ment voluntarily, and their places have
been filed in most cases by new men.
Their restoration would necessitate the
discharge of the new men, and this certain
ly would be unjust to them, and piece
of base ingratitude on the part of the
companies. The predicament the strik-
ers find themselves in illustrates anew
the folly of going on strike when the
labor market is g1utted and there are
two applicants for one job. Under such
circumstances it is far wiser for the
men 20 submit to some injustice, and
quietly bide their time, than to rush into
a strike and abandon their only means
of livelihood.

She had left Gloucester two weeks be-
fore, and was on Georges when the Sc
we're storm began week ago Monday.
The gale came in from the north north
west about p. M, and about as hard
as the captain had ever experienced. A
dou ble-reefed foresail was all the little
schooner could stand, and under this
canvas she lay to until Thursday. Then
they got in sail and ran until Friday at
z am, when another storm came on.
The schooner behaved we'll, a little
jamming of the dories was the only
damage sustained. The Collins brought
%, 600 pounds of fish.
Other fish arrivals of Wednesday were:
Ella NJ. Doughty, IL, 900; Cora e. Smith,
1000; Albert W. Black, 5000; Eva and

a FEARFUL FALL.
A Sailor, Called Fra NIX, Falls Twenty Feet
Into Vessels Hold.

Last evening, Hickman johnson took
sailor, who was intoxicated, to Grana
Trunk wharf, No. 1, where his schooner
the Julia S. Bailey, il lying. The only
person aboard the vessel was the stew
ard, e. 6. Hurd. The sailor was lowered
onto the deck of the vessel, and the stew
ard then put him into the forecastle. The
matches were open, and fearing the man
might come out of the forecastle and fall
into the hold, he put a guard around it
and lantern in front.
Sure enough, the man emerged from
the forecastle, went round the side OF
the hatch knocking off the lantern, and
then tumb led into the hold, a distance
of some twenty feet, striking his head
on some coal tubs. The steward heard
the noise, aud ON Investigation found he
man lying in the hold senseless. With the
aid of the police, theinjured seaman was
got on deck, and the same hackman who
carried him to the vessel took him to the
station.
DR.. Nickerson found the left thigh was
fractured two inches below the middle
the left ear half cut off, and circular
piece of skin the size of half dollar
hanging to the cheek; cut in the scalp,
l-9 inches long, requiring four stitches
and another an inch long. He evidently
had sustained severe internal injuries,
for he bied from the ears, and the mat
ter discharged from his stomach showed
this. He was taken to the city hospital,
and if his injuries do not prove fatal, as
they probably, he will be sent to the
marine hospital.
The only name by which the man is
known on the vessel is Frank. He is
said to be usually quiet, we'll behaved
fellow, and is about 80 years of age. He
was apparently of American and Scotch
descent. h has been a diver.
