Evening Session.

The evening opened with breeze.
| Melick being recognized by the Speak
er said:
1T has been currently reported that
Chief Clerk DuckWorth has said that he
would kill any newspaper bill introduced
IN this House this session. My BILL
| 654 is a newspaper bill. 1t passed this
House yesterday afternoon and should
| have gone directly to the Senate l find
| it has not yet been sent there and / de-
mand to know the reason
! The Speaker said the best way to set
] tie that was to send the bill to the Sen
! ate.
On motion of Leavitt, Duckworth was
allowed to make an explanation when,
| with a good deal of excitement in his
manner, the Chief Clerk stated that he
had believed the passage of the bill to
be irregular. He claimed to have had
stenographic report taken of the pro-
ceedings and said he had held the bill
back in order to consult with his attor-
ney as to his own responsibility if he
certified to a bill which was not regu-
larly passed Having just found that
he would be all right in the matter he
had sent the bill over and it was now in
the Serate.
Wright. who was in the chair at the
! time the bill passed on Monday, says
| the only irregularity consisted in his
having announced the vote While Melick
was on his feet demanding call of the
absentees Wright consequently re-
called his announcement, as several
members supported Melick in saying
that he had called for the absentees, and
| the bill was passed on that call. Wright
saws his attention was diverted by
| Duckworths turning abruptly to him
with the roll call, which showed 80 ayes,
and he did not see Melick until he had
announced the vote.
FILE WORK.
| Following is list of bills passed:
Dotv's s. B. 90; for the purchase of

ment began to reach me; and since it
has been before me for consideration a
strong opposition to it has been ex-
pressed to me by mail, by telegraph and
by personal appeal. This opposition
comes from the homes of Santa Clara,
from the mothers of that quiet city and
from schools located there The oppo-
sition comes from all classes
When this bill was proposed, it was
| understood that it was at the practi-
caily unanimous wish Of the people of
Santa Clara, and I therefore gave a
partial, though reluctant approval, as
the only then solution possible of this
problem. Recent developments show
that the community is divided in its
sentiment, and that very strong OPP
position exists to the location of the
school in Santa Clara.
1t makes no difference what the cause
OF the opposition may be, it exists In
my judgment, 10 force a public insti-
| tuition upon . section so bitterly di-
vided as to its desirabllity would be
most unwise, and could result in no
| benefit either to the inmates or the To-
cality.,

The chief clerk has this to add fur
Their, in explanation of this sum of
81 ,105 ~, and we give the explanation
in his own language and written by
himself:
From the item of composition as
given on page 22 Of the report, after de-
Quoting $1,000 for salaries of general
foreman, two assistant foremen, proof
reader and copyholder, there remains
the sum of $50, 191 90 representing the
sum actually charged against the sew
eral departments. Mr.. Thorpe and Mr.
Rodgers both testify that this charge
is one-third too low. which undercharge
would, on this basis, be $11, 40. To
this should be added the amount OF
bills unpaid in the forty-sixth year,
and it is not possible to arrive at the
exact sum, but I know it to exceed
10000. This, added to the undercharge
of S11, $50, will equal sd, 100 If this
sum is too large or too small to make a
correct balance. it is only because the
undercharge is not absolutely correct
or the sum of unpaid bills is more or
less than $4,000"
Under your instructions to us this is
the best possible information obtain
able from the State Printer and his
office. Very respectfully submitted,

TO even bring out rumors relative to the
matter and we We're absolutely unable
to trace these rumors to any authorita-
I've source.
Therefore your committee is unanl-
mously of the opinion that the article
printed in the Examiner of February
II, 1897, headed Bribery In Aid of
Thievery," was based entirely upon ru-
mors, and not upon facts. and we be-
heve that every member of the Assem-
bly, is innocent of the offense charged.
While we believe that it is the province
of every newspaper to make public all
manner of corrupt actions by public
men, we further believe that 1T should
ascertain for certainty the facts of the
case, and not blacken the reputation OF
any man or body of men upon idle ru-
mors. Signed: c. NJ. BelshaW, A. W.

VERDICT NOT GUILTY.
A Woonsocket Psddler's Trouble With a
NV Woman.

Exilda Leduc, indicted for an assault
with hatchet on Abdella Kofin at Woon-
socket on January 26 was tried in Judge
Wilbur's court this morning Abdella is
Syrian and IA peddler. He went on the
date given TO "A house at the Social, and
the prisoner asked him TO show the goods
he had for sale. A harmonica, according
to Abdella, struck the fancy of Exilda
who was entertaining friends. Abdella's $
command of either English or French
was not as extensive as Corbett or Fitz-
simmons knowledge of the former
language as shown by the campaign just
closed He could say 20 cents in either
language, however. He first offered the
harmonica for % cents, but finally agreed
To take 20 cents for it. According to his
story, the defendant took the harmonica
and did not pay for it, and when he
started after a policeman she fired
hatchet at him, which struck him over
the left eye, cutting long, deep cash.
The defendants story, which was be-
lieved by the jury, for they brought in
verdict of not guilty, was that Abdella
came into her house, and after he had
grossly insulted her she pushed him down
stairs, and he struck his head against the
inside knob of the outside door

GOOD TIME ENDED IN DEATH.
Holmes j. Thorne Fell or was Pushed
Down.

New York. March 17.-Holmes J..
Thorne 80 years old, son of Garrett p.
Thornc, a wealthy farmer living on the
Middletown turnpike two miles from
keyport, y. j., came to New York Mon
day morning TO have good time. Police
man Simpson of the Elizabeth street
station, found the dead body of the young
man lying at the foot of the basement
stairs at Baxter street shortly before
huddled up with his legs twisted beneath
him and his head under his arm. His
position indicated that he had fallen or
been thrown down the stairs
Simpson thought first that the man was
drunk. He shook him but as he showed
no yigns of life he carried the body up
to the sidewalk He found the man dead
although his body was yet warm
Abraham Aronovitz, who keeps soda
water stand near by, told me that he had
noticed men lettering at the corner for
some time, but he had paid no particular
attention to them. II didn't see the
man fall" he said. 81 don't remember
any drunken man passing my stand and
/ certainly didn't hear any groans.
The policeman sent for an ambulance
and the body was removed TO the station.
There were no indications of violence on
the body. The police are inclined To
think that the man was drunk and fell
down the basement stairs, which are very
steep. There is no railing about them.
The body was sent TO the Morgue, but
the Coroner's physician will not make an
examination until today, so that the nature
of his death is still mystery.
Thorne was clad in "a black suit
sweater and a bicycle cap In his pockets
were three letters, two addressed to Garrett
+. Thorne and one TO Holmes j. Thorne
keyport y. j. He also carried ninety
cents in coin, pair Of gloves and rail-
road ticket To Mattawan, y. j.
Theodore II. Thorne a brother of the
dead man, Unidentified him at the Morgue
yesterday. Holmes, before leaving Mat
tawan on Monday displayed a roll of
bills in the Aberdeen Inn, opposite the
railroad station. His friends in comment
ing on the fact that so small a sum was
found on the body, express the opinion
that he was given chloral and robbed

How Senator Vest Withdrew His Objec.
tion to q Railroad Bill.


Every now and then an interesting little
story that everybody missed in the hustle
of the last hours of the session comes to
light. Senator Vest made some objection
to a bill which senator Wilson wanted to
have passed giving q railroad "a right OF
way through forest reserve. Mr.. Vest
said it was SO dry out there in summer
that If n railroad was built the sparks from
the locomotive would burn everything up.
Senator Wilson retorted that there was
greater rainfall there than In any Other
state
This did not seem to appeal much to the
senator from Missouri, but moment latel
he said:
81 am informed that this railroad Is to
be built to plaS up in the mountains
called Paradise Valley. If it will help the
senator from Washington or any of his
friends to get to that place, why, let Ii go
through"
Objection being thus withdrawn, the
bill did go through the senate, but Mr.
Cleveland did not feel the same way, and
the bill went into the wastebasket at the
White House. Washington Poss

All OF them Were good although the view
