Harrisburg, May 1O.--The order of
business in the house tonight was bills
on first ard second reading and a
large number passed this stage. Con-
trary to expectations, the friends of
the Young bill giving trolley companies
the right Of eminent domain did not try
to rec "a slider the resolution making a
special order for 1t on second and third
readings. Mr.. Spatz, of Berks, moved
that the house begin its session at 1890
tomorrow morning instead of 10 to al
low the members to witness the
knights of the Golden Eagle parade.

ing were the following: Increasing the
number of inspectors of the Eastern
penitentary from five to twelve; per-
mitting sheriffs and coroners to invite
newspaper representatives to eXecu-
tions; requiring a license to be taken
out by transient practitioners of medi-
cine who practice gratuitously.
A concurrent resolution was offered
by Mr. Bare, of Huntingdon, that 1t Is
the sense of the legislature that no
expense whatever should be incurred
by the state on the occasion of the
unveiing of the Washington monu-
ment next Saturday by reason of the
participation thcreat by the legislature,
believing that the spirit of patriotism
inspired by the act of our fellow citi-
zens in erecting to the memory OF
George Washington, the finest monu-
ment on the AmerlCan continent as
well as a sense of justice, should impel
each member and senator to PERSONAL
ly discharge any expense already IN
Cured by the legislative committee TO
arrange for the trip as well as those
that may neco ssarily accrue
Objection being made to the resolu-
tion it lies on the table.
