House bill No. 294 was taken up and
the vote upon it was something of q
surprise. The bill as introduced raised
the State school tax from five to ten
cents on the dollar but it was amend
ed by Mr.. Campbell of Albany, max
ing the tax seven and one-h half cents
and then ordered to a third reading.
Mr.. Bond of Searsburg was the cham
pion Of the bill and though it was re-
ported adversely by the committee,
he was victorious. However, this vic
tory viii be shortlived, as the Senate
will not allow such bill to pass.
Representative Ballard's bill pro-
viding that any States attorney,
grand juror, deputy sheriff, constable,
justice or municipal judge VINO shall
fail to prosecute or enforce the law
regulating the traffic in Intoxicating
liquor shall be fined or imprisoned,
was the object Of violent agitation
Tuesday forenoon. It was ably cham
pioned by Mr.. Ballard and others, and
the yeas and nays were called on mo-
ton Of Mr.. McGeary. The vote stood,
yeas, 157; nays, 10; and the bill was
ordered to third reading. This was
the surprise of the session, and the
action Of the House will be widely
felt.
Another bill, introduced by Mr..
Richardson of St. Adams in behalf of
the committee on ways and means,
making appropriations for the differ
ent branches Of State government. 1t
makes the following appropriations:
S65, 900 for debentures Of Assembly,
$450,00o for fiscal year of 1897 98;
1926, 1000 for 1899 1900; S177 900 for pc
riod from end Of fiscal year of 1900 to
Dec. l, 1900; $4,000 for interest on
State bonds and debts; S175, 900 for
each fiscal year and $73, 900 for frac
tional period above stated for support
of penal institutions and State pauper
insane; treasurer authorized to bor-
row $500, 900 as needed; repeals act of
'96 authorizing treasurer to borrow
MONTPELIER. Nov. 23.-Lawmaking
is at standstill and everybody has
gone home to give thanks. just how
thankful the members will feel about
coming back next Monday is an open
question but everybody is glad that it
is not necessary to come back Friday.
The Senate is very much opposed to
coming back bnt Speaker Haskins has
forced them tC consent to his plan.
With two and one-half days to work
next week the Legislature has no ex-
cuse for any hasty legislation and will
receive severe criticism if it does not
manifest a more serious working
spirit than it did on Tuesday. But
little business was done this morning
except arranging the matter of ad-
journment but what was introduced
is impOrtant.-Free Press.

The officers are after the Burling ton
druggists now for liquor selling. 1t
begins to look like prohibition indeed
in that city.
The total length-of the Bennington
electric railway and the Hoosick cleo

idated by act of the Legislature is 161a
miles.
Bellows Falls has a problem for ma
turalists. While workmen were dig
ging up pipes in the International
Paper Co.'S. yard, they found in dry
gravel bed, six feet below the surface,
three live eels, one of them fifteen
inches long and two about six inches
long, that, when placed in water were
very lively. Vhe earth where the
cells were found had not been dis
turbed for years and was fully $50 feet
from the river bed. How they got
there and upon what they have sub
sisted is conundrum.
Under the new law signed last Frid ay
changing the time of holding county

day after the first Monday in the

Der; in Grand Isle county on the first

1t is expected that Spain's reply to
the proposition of the United States
in regard to the Philippine islands
will be received today. There is but
one thing for them to do and that is
to acquiesce. in the demands of this
country and accept whatever they can
get for the islands. If they refuse
they will lose still more without any
money indemnity and their creditors
will be likely to urge them to get
what they can in return for their
claims on the islands instead of refus-
ing and losing all.

tigation committee has given the re-
suits of it's investigation to the Leg
islature. Although there has been
reason for greater expense during
the past two years than usual, it
would appear that some of the items
charged up to the State would hardly
belong there. As a result of the in
vestigation it seems that the Office of
Adjutant- General may be abolished
for time, his duties falling upon the
Ouartermaster- General.

The testimony of Capt. Brownel be-
fore ex- Gov. Woodbury., who is one
of the commissioners to investigate
the charges against the conduct Of the
officers in the late war, wasyery dam
aging to Major Mimms. This, how
ever, only corroborates the common
report in regard to the ineficiency of
this officer, and Of Col. Clark, also,
of whom were reported to be more
fond of the cup than Of military dis
cipline. Col. Clark's illness threw the
command on Maj. Mimms, and as the
former came back to Vermont he es-
caped much of the censure that would
have fallen on him If he had remained
at Chickamauga. 1t will be remem-
bered that Gov. Grout appointed Maj.
Jocelyn as Colonel of the regiment,
and that some of the companies rebel
led against this appointment, and
would have no other Colonel except
Col Clark: but it is now plain that if
they could have had an experienced
man like Maj. Jocelyn, they would
have received their clothing in due
time and would have been better drill
ed and cared for in every way, with
fair prospect of having been sent to
the front as they wished, SO the mem
bers of these rebellious companies
have only themselves to blame for
their misfortunes.-BaGrJ Earth.

The attempt of the governor Of Yer
mont to induce New York millionaires
to come into the his state to be taxed,
if canny, is questionable. 1t strikes
us as worse than undigniied action
on his part. The burden of his bill,
which the legislature of Vermont is
reported to be eager to adopt, is to
come into the state and establish a
residence by stipulating that they
shall not be taxed beyond a certain
amount for a period of thirty years.
There is clearly implied in this that
the ra tie of taxation shall be low; in
deed, here is the temptation to them
to transfer their residence. tits pret-
ty poor business for q state to engage
in such an operation, and it has very
much the appearance of offering pre-
MUM to men Of wealth to evade just
taxation. The closingI of the bar
gain will be not altogether creditable
to the parties who may comply with
this offer, but there will be more char
who proposes it and the state that
puts it into legislation. The fact that
the residence thus invoked is expect
ed to be no more than nominal is not
sufficiently yelled to be hidden. The
offer is open to all comers, but it ap-
pears to be chiefly addressed to the
New York market.-Boston Herald.

pecial to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
PORTLAND. Ind. May "a telegram
was received here just before noon to-day,
addressed to Mayor Bergman, from the
chief of police at Monmouth. ILL.,, announc-
ing the arrest Of Samuel II. Marshall in that
city and saying that there is no mistake
about his being the right man. Marshall
has been wanted for the last three weeks,
and a reward is out for his capture on the
charge of being one of the men who muir
dered and robbed Mrs. Louisa Stoltz in this
city about the middle of February. Within
the last few days the central States have
been flooded with circulars asking for
Marshall's arrest, and this is the outcome.
Frank Markell, Of Clifton, has been held as
an accomplice as the result of a converse
ton overheard between him and Marshall
at the strawboard works in Muncie Feb.
g. 1t Is said that Marshall will come back
without a requisition, and one officer armed
with all of the necessary papers will start
after him Immediately. The authorities are
very reticent concerning the arrest or the
matters leading up to it, but are very conf
dent they have the right man. Mrs. Stoltz,
who was murdered, was worth $25 900 to
$4,000 and was found in her home on the
afternoon of Feb. Ia, bound hand and foot,
and the house ransacked She had been
choked to death, a chair tidy having been
forced down her throat. 1t Is presumed the
robbers and murderers obtained a large
sum of money, as she was known to be in
the habit of keeping good deal secreted
about the house

Opening of Broad Ripple Theater.

The Mackay Comic Opera Company pre-
sented Said Pasha' at the Broad Ripple
Park Theater yesterday afternoon and made
a hit The company is large, the costumes
pretty and the voices are excellent The
chorus is large, and the young women are
not only prepossessing. but know how to
sing as we'll. The house was comfortably
filled at the night performance, and every
body seemed satisfied with the opera and
the company presenting it. The leading
characters were impersonated by Miss Isa-
bel Sargent. Jess Fulton, Walter Thomp-
son. Millar Bacon, William Hicks. John
Williams Harry Sylvester, Maibelle Wagner
and Nellie Woods. All of them have excel
lent voices, and the parts were well sus-
tanned. During the action of the opera
pleasing specialties were introduced by Mr.
Williams and others. There were plenty of
cars on hand to carry the people home after
the performance. and there was no crowd
ing The last car reached Washington
street at IL 20 o'clock. Said Pasha'' will
be presented every night this week, with
matinees to-day and on Wednesday and Sat
urday.

THE NEW VOLUNTEERS
NO INFORMATION ABOUT FILLING
THE QUOTA CAME OUT YESTERDAY.
How the Regiments in the Field Are
Likely tn BE Recruited Up to
the New Requirement.

There were no developments in the local
military situation of any interest yesterday
as far as could be learned. Late in the aft
ernoon Governor Mount went to the execu-
tive department at the Statehouse to find
out whether any information had arrived
from Washington. No messages Of any sort
were received and the Governor informed
Journal reporter last night that he had
nothing of interest to announce. To-day the
Governors war department" will be closed.
Military Secretary Wilson went to his
home. in Lebanon. yesterday for the first
time in SIX weeks. Governor Mount deliv-
ers the Memorial day address at North
Salem to-day. The Governor said that Mem
orial day is one of peculiar sacredness at
this time. While people are decorating the
graves Of friends and relatives who died in
war thirty years ago many of them will
be thinking of sons and brothers about
ready to depart for war, whose graves may
have to be included in those which
tributes of love are to be laid year hence.
It is not supposed that any important in
formation will arrive from Washington to-
day and the day will be observed by the
Governors officials.

HAS GONE HIGH ENOUGH
PROBABLY NO FURTHER INCREASE
IN THE PRICE OF FLOUR.
Big Prices Put Upon Sulphur and
Some Other Commodities
Industrial Notes.

Millers at st. Louis claim that they con-
troll the price of -four in this country, and
one of the leading millers of st. Louis says
flour has reached its highest point, which is
encouraging news, whether it be a predic-
ton or an existing fact. The st. Louis
miller goes on to say: when staple COM
modify reaches its highest market price it
soon swings back to lower value. For two
weeks more flour has been selling at
twice it's usual price. The effect has been
felt in thousands of homes The corner
grocer has reaped no great benefit from the
increased price, nor has the baker.
when the st. Louis milers mark down
the price of flour the value of that COM
modify will drop all over the country. The
mark-down ought to be made early in the
fall. By that time the Southern wheat crop
will have been converted into flour. This
crop is said to be an unusually large one.
Not until then can we hope for the baker
to increase the size of his loaf without the
use of too much alum or the corner grocer
to reduce the price of -four by the sack.
Meantime young Mr. Letter would better
take the hint and get rid Of few million
bushels of his wheat"

TWO NEGROES LYNCHED
TAKEN FROM JAIL, STRUNG TO A
TREE AND THEN SHOT.

Hartzell, daughter of Mr.. Samuel Hartzell.
who lives four miles from Concord. was
found dead in her fathers home this after
noon. She had been outraged and her
throat was cut from ear to ear. The young
woman was of respectable family. and
the news of the affair spread rapidly. In a
short time large bodies of both town and
country people had gathered, and in the
course of an hour or two two suspects, Joe
Kiser, aged twenty-five. and Tom Johnson.
aged twenty, both colored. were arrested.
The sheriff managed to get them safely to
SAIL. The prisoners were placed in the cage,
fhe stronghold of the jail, and the sheriff
and other officers stood guard at the foot
of the stairs. They did all they could to
prevent the Jail from being forced but as
Shey looked out upon of determined,
angry faces they realized that nothing but
the blood of the guilty would satisfy them.
It was twenty minutes to 10 o'clock when
the mob. unable any longer 10 restrain its
fury. broke down the Jail door The sherif
and deputies were overpowered and the
crowd rushed up the stairs towards the cell
OF the doomed men. The lock was broken,
the door opened and the prisoners hauled
forth. The crowd called to the sheriff to
get lamp, but only a lantern was to be
ried its victims out. The sheriff saw that
resistance was useless so he made no eff
fort to illustrate the work Of vengeance.
The men were taken to point beyond the
three-mile branch. They were remarkably
cool. considering that they. were going to
dreadful death. They protested their in
nocence all the way Rev. Mr.. Alexander,
pastor of the Presbyterian Church. walked
by their side. talking to them and trying
to minister to them spiritually. When the
place selected for the lynching was reached
a halt was made. Mr.. Alexander tried to
silence. the crowd so he could pray for the
doomed men. The crowd could not be quiet
ed, so he prayed while the crowd continued
It's excited talk. The men were asked If
they had any parting word to speak. They
said they were not guilty, and that was all.

limbs about three feet apart over these

mounted on two boxes about two feet high.
The moose was adjusted around each mans
neck. the box removed. and the bodies
cropped. A few minutes after the drop one
hundred shots were tred at the dangling
bodies, Kidding them with bullets. The doc
tors who were present pronounced them
dead in thirteen minutes. Their bodies were
left hanging. They will be removed some

Pay for the Volunteers.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON. Ind. May 29.-Paymaster W.
T. Durbin. Of this city, who squared all ac-
counts with the Indiana militiamen and
volunteers before they left for Chattanooga
ten days ago. has just completed the work
of making out the pay roll of the men who
were refused by the medical examiners and
also those who returned home because they
this week to a bank in each of the towns
from which the volunteers came. Every
man thus refused will be paid at the rate of
SL5O day for the time he was in camp
Mr. Durbin has not completed the work of
balancing the state books yet but he is
satisfied that the wage roll will run fully
100000, and the total costs of the mobiiza-
ton about 100000. Indiana is the first State
to straighten up her bills and the only one
to pay on her soldiers in full before they
left the State
