 LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
 The O'Brien educational bill received favorable report today from the senate committee on education, and would have been put upon it's passage before adjourn ment tonight had not the body been forced to adjourn on account of the electric light failing.
 Just before adjournment at the senate tonight President Pettus called Senator Goodwyn to the chair for few moments. This is the first time during the session that Q populist senator has filled the presi- dent's seat and the big arc light that swings from the center of the senate chamber began to glow with an uncertain light. The next moment the chamber was in com plete darkness. There was an uproar of merriment. The members waited patiently for the return of the light, but waited for the light that never came, and the senate adjourned. MAXWELL.
 THE LAPS SUFFER.
