KENTUCKrS &NATES
Two In Session at One Time In the
Same Room.
ONLY A PARLIAMENTARY sNARL.

silverites Deny the Lieutenant Cover
nor's Right to the Chair and Repub-
licans and Gold Democrats Oppose
Them-silverites Finally Victorious.
Frankfort, KY. May 1s.-This state
witnessed the spectacle yesterday of two
separate bodies sitting in session In the
same hall. and each claiming to be the
senate Of Kentucky. The fight over the
Stephenson fusion bill was renewed,
and the advocates Of the bill were con-
fident of its passage. The silver Demo-
Gratis insisted that Lieutenant Governor
worthington vacate the chair pending
an appeal from one of his decisions.
Worthington, backed by the Republic
cas- and gold Democrats, refused to va
cate the chair.
Senator Goebel, the president pro
tenn, who was presiding, pending the
appeal from Worthington's decision.
demanded his right TO the chair The
president refused to recognize him, and
Hitting q chair over the clerks desk
Goebel took his seat beside the clerks,
and the two bodies were in session
amid the widest confusion. Bitter
words passed between Senator Bron-
ston, Of the silver side, and Governor
Worthington, of the Worthington SEN
ate. The Worthington senate adjourn
ed till o'clock in the afternoon, and
the Goebel senate, which, while in the
minority, was backed by the clerks and
all the other officers, adjourned till five
minutes before 8 o'clock.
At 2 o'clock the senate doors were
throw open, and President Pro. Tenn.
Goebel took the. chair to keep it till
1855, when the Worthington senate was
to meet, and when 1t was feared that
a possible difficulty over possession OF
the chair might ensue A few min
utes later Lieutenant Governor Worth
ington came into the hall, and went
up to the chair. Senator Goebel talked
pleasantly to him and then called up
Senator Bronston. 1t developed at once
that compromise had been reached,
the lieutenant governor concluding he
might have been wrong in resuming
decision was acted upon, and he argeed
to let things proceed in the regular
way. Both senates met at 8 o'clock,
and adjourned until today at IL o'clock,
when Senator Goebel was in the chair
and the appeal still pending. This
means that the silver minority has
won; that all the majority is not as
warmly for the fusion bill as they
seem, and that it will not be passed.

A NEW ELECTRIC ROAD.
Will Connect Baxter Springs, Lowell
and 0aiena.


Wednesdays Galena Post says:
John NJ. Cooper and Charles W.
Daniels of Baxter Springs are in
Galena today TO talk to Galena citi-
zens regarding franchise for an
electric road to run from Baxter
Springs TO Lowell, thence through
Spring Grove, north through Gale
ma to Empire City.
"Our Baxter neighbors now mean
business and they want the coop
GRAFTON of the citizens of Galcna.
Mr.. Daniels assures the Post that
the required amount of capital to
build the road can be had provided
the people of Galena meet the prop
osition in the proper spirit and lend
their influence to the project.
"If there is any proposition that
ought TO meet with favor in Galena,
this is the one. A road from here
to Baxter would connect Galena
with a territory she needs TO come
in touch with, and at the same time
Baxter would profit by the enter
prise.
"The Post will have more 10 say
on this subject later"
