Resolved, By the Senate, the Assembly con-
curing, that Senators and Representatives OF
the United States in Congress assembled be,
and they are hereby, earnestly requested to de-
feat said Reilly bill and all other measures of
the like character for the extension of the debt
of the Central Pacific Railroad Company to
the United States, and that in lieu there
of an act be passed providing that the
United States shall, by the Secretary of War or
other proper officer designated by it on that
behalf, enter into and take possession of and
forever hereafter operate the said Central Paci-
fie Railroad, or at least SO much thereof as lies
east of the city of Sacramento, and shall from
its own resources pay, discharge and cancel all
existing debts constituting lien on said prop
erty, and shall hereafter impose upon the COM
merce of the State of California and that In
which it and its people are interested only such
charges for transportation OF persons and prop
erty over said road as may be requisite to pro-
vide for or pay the current operating expenses.
The State of California and its people and those
interested in carrying on and promoting its
commercial interests shall hereafter be allowed
free use of said property.
Senator MCGOWAN made an extended and
quite vigorous speech in support of his
resolution. The proposition was simple
one, he declared. He compared it to a
man holding mortgage upon a farm who
foreclosed when the farmer could not pay
and engaged in the business of farming
himself. The Central Pacific road had
been paid for by the people of California,
sustained by the men of this common
wealth, and the State should now have it
and have what it would bring. California

HIS Property Illegally Obtained by a
Railroad Company.
ST. Louis, Jan. 29.-In the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday several
decisions were handed down.
John Burke sued the Little Rock juno
ton Railway to establish his title to prop
erty in Little Rock, Ark, which he said
was his by inheritance. The railway COM
pany claimed this property by title from
S. H. Wells, who bought it at tax sale
decreed by the Pulaski County Court, and
it was defended on the ground that the
notice citing delinquents to appear was ir-
regular, and consequently the Chancery
Court had no Jurisdiction to order the sale.
The trial court sustained the bill and gave
judgment for the complainant, whereupon
the railway company appealed.
In the decision yesterday by Judge
Thayer the court held that the bills should
have been dismissed, and it SO ordered, on
the ground that it is not the province of a
Federal court to review the judgment of a
State court, which is, as was in the present
case, obviously void when tested by the
records.

AFTER THE BALL.
Assenblynsess Labor Under a Mighty Fit
of Disgust.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 29.-The conduct of
last nights inaugural ball, especially with
regard to the arrangements for the supper,
has so aroused the wrath of the Legislators
that it would not be surprising if the in
augural ball sof the future will have to be
held elsewhere than in the Capitol build
ing. Laugenour introduced bill this
morning putting up the bars on dancing.
The reading occasioned general round of
applause, and if it is passed it will put a
stop to any further inaugural balls in the
Capitol. The bill reads:
Section 1.-The State Capitol shall not be
used for any entertainment, public or private,
which shall consist wholly or in part of
dancing.
Sec. 2.-This act shall take effect immedi-
ately.
The bill, at Laugenour's request, was re-
ferred to the Committee on Public Morals.
ssI did not introduce this bill because
am opposed to dancing" explained the
Representative of the flooded districts in
speaking of it to-day. 81 did so because
think it unwise to stop the work of legis-
lation for four days for the inaugural bal,

an endeayor to place certain members of
the upper house in false position, these
were the features which characterized the
proceedings in the Senate this morning
when the various resolutions were brought
up which bear upon the Reilly refunding
bill. At the last session of the Senate
during which any business was transacted
the Democratic members of the upper
house secured little advantage in the
placing of themselves on record as oppo-
nents of the railroad corporation in it's
efforts to secure favorable legislation at
Washington. To-day they and a number
of Republicans were placed in a very un-
pleasant position, which forced them to

"The witness, interposed Leib, refused
also to give US a deposition, but said he
was willing to appear in court"
The affidavit of the witness stating the
necessity for him to go to st. Louis was
filed and the court. overruled the objection.
In answer to questions by Leib the witness
testified that he had been practicing
attorney in San Francisco for nearly
twenty years. He had known Edward
Barron, who was a client of the witness
At this point the will of Barron was
handed to the witness, who examined it
and then declined to testify regarding it.

expected to be represented here to-day by
Judge Hayne as my attorney, but he could
not come here, and in my own behalf re-
fuse to answer any inquiries in regard to
this will"
Subsequently, however, the witness
stated that he recognized the will as a
paper that had been drawn up in his office.
Those present were the witness, Edward
Barron, and the witnesses and the sub
scribers to the document.
"Did any one besides Mr.. Barron give
you any instructions in regard to the

The witness on his own behalf objected
to this question, and then followed a long
argument as to whether or not the matter
was a privileged communication. Leib
claimed that for the purpose of sustaining
will an attorney who draws it up has a
right to tell all he knows about it.

had paid for the road in extortionate
charges. The United States Government
might collect every dollar owed to it, and
might collect all the moneys which had
been fraudulently diverted by the stock
holders. There were several sarcastic al
lusions in the address of the Senator from
Humboldt County, who referred to "politi-
cal scavengers" as insincere in their action
upon this important question. This was
considered a blow at his colleague in the
Assembly, Bledsoe.
Senator Wilmington of San Diego de-
clared that the MCGOWAN resolution did
not provide request that Congress should
take steps to recover the money which had

TOLEDO, Ohio, Jan. ga Deputy United
States Marshal arrested Charles M Hughes,
ex-cashier of the First National Bank OF
Lima, on charge of misappropriation OF
$140 900 of the banks funds.
The bank loaned a large sum to the Mon
roe Manufacturing Company of Lima,
which failed. An assessment of 100 per
cent had to be made on the bank stock
holders. Hughes was replaced by another
cashier. Walter Stein, stockholder, re-
fused to pay up and caused Hughes ar
rest. Senator Brice, who is largely inter-
ested says the loans were merely an error
of judgment and Hughes did not profit in
any way thereby.

use every parliamentary pretext to escape
from an apparent position as friends
rather than enemies of the Reilly bill.
This was brought about in this way:
Several resolutions in opposition to the
funding bill, of greater or less intensity,
were before the Senate. The Bledsoe reso-
luton which passed the Assembly was the
one which the Democrats favored. The
MCGOWAN resolution, however, was
brought up for discussion. This resolu-
ton, exclusive of the preamble, is as
follows:

Judge Grosscup Once More Shotcs HI:
Unfriendly Disposition.

Unfriendly Dispositions.
CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-The defense in the
Debs conspiracy trial received heavy
blow to-day on the adverse ruling of
Judge Grosscup on an objection raised to
the admission of evidence as to overt acts,
unless it could be shown that they were
done by the knowledge and under the di-
rection of the officers and directors of the
A. R. q. to obstruct the mails. Judge
Grosscup held that evidence could be in
troduced tending to show that conspiracy
existed to stop all trains, and this would
include, necessarily, conspiracy to stop
the United States mails.

RALEIGH, N. c., Jan. 29.-The North
Carolina Legislature has passed law i'm
posing penalty for holding over freight
by railroads. Under the present law the
penalty for failure to ship within five
days is twice the amount of the value of

law by imposing fine of $40 day after
five days in addition to the penalty of
twice the value of the freight. Another
bill has been introduced abolishing the

Bart Burke, the Senator from Santa
Cruz, expressed his regret that any feeling
had crept into the discussion over an anti
funding resolution. There was no feeling
among the people of the State; there
should be none among the legislators,
whatever their politics might be. The
question before California was pure and
simple one. 1t was, that the Reilly fund
ing bill should be opposed at all points.

Dor and New Building.

amount of the estimate, $S56,25O
The court house and postofice does not
fare 50 well. In spite Of Representative
Lesters urgent recommendation that the
5000 coo estimated by the Secretary of the
Treasury be allowed, the committee cut
the amount in half and appropriated 800, .
0G0. In explanation of the action Of the
committee, it is said that the acting super
Vising architect of the treasury, after sub
hitting an estimate of 100000 for the Sa-
Vannah building, came before the commit
tee and stated that one half of that
amount with the uneXpended balance Of
S56, $50, would be quite sufficient to carry
on the work during the next eighteen
months. When Mr.. Lester heard of the
action of the committee, he finally pre-
vailed upon them to insert a provision,
which gives the supervising architect the
privilege Of contracting for the completion
Of the building without delay.
In the same bill, provision IS made for
the surveys Of the Savannah river bar.
The bill, as reported to the House to-day,
carries an aggregate OF $3S, $40, 72l, being
81, ,8f3. 793 less than the estimates on which
it is based, and $4, ,286.245 above the amount
carried by the bill for the year 1895.

Richmond, Va, Jan. 15.-At the meet

factions, the casket was buried beneath a
convenient pile of ashes, The incident
