WARM MEMBERS, THESE.
Stirring Scenes in the Michigan Legisla-

ture-Governor PinSree denounced
LANSING, Mich, March 25.-There was
an unusual scene in the Senate of the
Michigan Legislature when the Governor
Of the State was denounced as a dema-
gogue. The discussion was over the bill
of Senator Covell requiring the Governor
TO make appointments during the session
of the Legislature so that they may be
acted upon by the Senate. Senator c. W.
Moore, of Detroit. moved to strike out all
after the enacting clause, denouncing the
bill as an insult to the Governor. Senator
Coveu stated that the bill simply required
the Governor 10 do what the trainers or
the constitution plainly contemplated he
would do when it was provided that all
appointments of the Governor should be
approved by the Senate. He stated that
there were not over forty appointments
which ought to be made by the Governor
but that he was evidently holding them
up until the Legislature should adjourn.
lie charged Governor .Pingree with desir-
ing TO appoint Professor Bemis, of Chi
cago. labor commissioner but was afraid
to do so until after the Legislature ad-
journed. when the Senate cannot pass
upon it. The commission of the present
labor commissioner expired six weeks ago.
Senator Thompson said that Bemis was
reported to be sort of an anarchist in
Chicago and he though Michigan had
enough of that kind of people.
Unusual warmth characterized the dis
cussion, at the close of which the bill was
agreed to in committee of the whole and
Immediately passed by a vote of IS to ..

FRANKFORT. Ky. March &.-The
third ballot for United States Senator 10

the Hunter forces had brought back two
of the Republican boilers into line and
that Hunter the nominee. would certainly

Hunter forces 20 make a continuous ses-
sion to-day and vote till sundown. on til
some candidate was elected.
The Republican state central committee

understood that the State central commit

will endeavor to whip The Bradley boilers

and the prediction is freely made that if

he win be Governor W. o. Bradley and

In 1852 Mrs. j. R. Cause, Of Atlanta,
Ga. had stolen from her in Linton,
some jewelry, among which was a
breast pin. containing g photograph OF
Mr.. Cause, taken when he was quite a
young man. All efforts to find the
things proved futile and the occurrence
passed from the minds OF the family.
A few days ago Ben Cause noticed a
young negro go into Samuel Evans
warehouse with a breast-pin, contain
ing picture, upon his coat. Mr.. Cause
examined it and Immediately recogniz-
ed it as picture of his father. He got
possession of it and carried it to his
home and compared it to a large pic.

were exactly alike, as the pin had been
carefully preserved. The negro who
had the breast pin was the grandson OF
a family servant at the time the arti.
cles were stolen.

AWonderful Fish Story.

A wonderful fish story comes from
Port Tampa, Fla. 1t is about a twelve
foot shark, which was caught in the
shallow water near the beach, short
distance from Port Tampa. His shark
ship appeared to be sick, and was an
easy victim. The parties who captur-
ed the prize noticed that his stomach
was considerably distended, while the
lower portion Of his body and tall were
quite thin. These facts excited the
curiosity of the fishermen. and they
decided to dissect it. Upon opening
his stomach small pork barrel with
one head knocked out was found. The
mouth of the barrel was pointing up
ward toward the fish's throat, and was
literally filed with dead fish, but they
could not be digested, hence the shark
was literally starving to death, yet be
had a barrel of fish in his stomach.
