THE LEGISLATURE.
SENATE.

Senators Turnbull and Letcher were
appointed on the Joint committee to
inquire into the excessive criminal
charges in many of the counties. The
House members are Messrs. Winborne,
Reddy and Boaz. The election OF
the judges in the counties to be investi-
gated will be deferred until this COM
mittee reports.
Among the bills introduced were to
amend the code in regard to the re-
ports ofdecisions of the Supreme Court
Of Appeals, maps and other books; to
amend sections 2,945 and 2.949 of tie
code relating to warrants for small
claims; 10 repeal sections 2,03S, 2,039
and 2,O4O Of the code and to define
what shall be constituted a lawful
fenc:; to require the raturn of distress
warrants and to provide for process OF
sale hereunder when necessary.
HOUSE.
DIR. Quensenberry offered a resolution
directin g the committee on privileges
and elections to Enquire into the pro.
priety of repeating the present election
law and reporting bill that will be
free from the objections to the present
law" The resolution was referred
without debate.
The House passed the bill suspending
for sixty days the operation OF the law
of 1896 in relation to delinquent lands
purchased in the name of the common.
wealth.
Mr.. Parks introduced two bills. Ooe
reduces the minimum fine for violating
the law with reference to the sale of
liquor from 500 to $40 and the other
makes the smallest fine for carrying
concealed weapons 50 80, instead of $40
as now. Big fights will be made
against both of these bills, especially
the latter, as the tendedcy of all recent
legislation has been toward increasing
the punishment for carrying concealed
weapons.
The House passed resolution re-
lating to the status of the accounts of
the county officers with the State treas-
urer.
The following were among the bills
introduced in the House Oh Thursday !

A bill amending various sections
of the code in relation to the liens
of mechanics. The amendment al
lows a lien to be fled within sixty
days from the completion of the build
ing or structure, instead of requiring

work demonstrated that he had regained
his true form. Earl Wagner saw his work
and signed him in the spring of '93 for the
Washington team, and he has been a Sena-
tor ever since. For the past two years
Maufs arm has played him false, but the
good-looking Quaker believes he Is again
in shape, and promises to help the club
land in a more advanced position than last
year. One thing Maui can rest assured
of, and that Is that he will have the Wash
ington spectators with him to a man. and
should his work prove gilt edge there Is no
telling what big Office they will elect him
to. 1t might be added that outside of
Maurs pitching ability there is not a bet

to pitch three twirlers in yesterdays game
between the Washington and Toronto
teams, but the quality of ball put UP by
the visitors convinced the genial manager
that II would not do to take chances. and
Lester German remained in the box Until
the conclusion II the game. From the
beginning the game was fun of snap and
energy, and the way the Toronto Toys
skipped over the field. both while running
bases and fielding their positions, denoted
a desire to please their manager and fur
nish the spectators with an exhibition Of
the national game as played by frst-ciass
clubs. .. --..

tional pays. the stops and long throws

confidence that made the spectators think

feet. the little blonde In right field getting
in two doubles. Reilly, too, OF whom good
stick work is an unexpected pleasure,
soaked the ball good and hard at every
chance and registered two singles to his
credit
Manager Irwin sent a left-handed twirler
named CASTOR to the rubber to do the
honors for his club and the way he did it
was an eye-opener for even his manager,
not to speak of the local club and specta-
tors. 1t will be interesting to learn what
Earl Wagner thinks of this pitcher, as the
Senators have no soufhpaw twirler. and
they may need just such youngster to
help out before the season is over. CASTOR
pitched the entire game and held the local
club down to ten hits, with a total of
twelve.
Norton started the pitching for the Sen
ators, and did well, retiring in favor Of
German in the third inning. Lester at
once became aware that the Canadian boys
could not be trifled with if a victory was
to be scored by the Senators. and he let
himself out, with the result that but three
singles were made off of his delivery, one
of them of the scratch order. German is
still little over weight. but the extra al
loWance must be a good thing for him, as
his work this spring has been of the very
best. Tom Brown was out of the game as,
