fered a resolution OF censure on the mem
bers who were opposing the progress OF the
WiIiingnam measure. ana the most eXcit-
ing incident OF the day then occurred.
The resolution was as follows:
Whereas, II is essential TO best inter-
ests of the state that the important meas
ure now before the House be disposed Of;
and
whereas, the tax bill reported by spe-
ciaI commission at the expense of the peo-
pie has not yet been acted on; ana
Whereas, nearly one-haf OF the session
Is over and the public business Of the
state Is being INSTRUCTED by a minority
who are able 70 do so under parliamentary
rules; and
Whereas. No reason exists for obstruct-
ing the public business of the state, except
to prevent action on what IS known as the
temperance bin; be it therefore
Resolved. That the names Of those who
are obstructng the public business be pub
lished. that the people may know VINO are
responsible for the waste of time ana
money"
MIR Hall Of Bibb made the point of order
that the McGehee resolution was out OF
order, inasmuch IL amounted TO an ar
raignment of the members of the House
before the House. He argued that it was
improper, and should not be entertained.
Speaker Little ruled that the point was
correct and the resolution was thrown
out.
Notions to Adjourn.
Later in the day Mr.. McGehee. who aD-
peared to be particularly eXasperated by
the delay, offered a joint resolution to adj
journ sine die. Speaker Little refused to
entertain the motion because there was
other business before the House. When
the regular hour of adjournment finally
arrived there were five questions before
the House, all of which related to one
motion to adjourn.
The hour Of adjournment arrived while
the House was voting on a proposition to
suspend for a few minutes in order that a
conference might lie had belwe the lead
ers on a day for the bills consideration.
Nothing Of imp rtance occurred in the
Senate except The defeat of the child lab T
bill introduced by Senator NestiU.
The voc was 20 to II. Senator Gross
gave notice of a motion to reconsider. The
clause providing for sixteen weeks attend
ance a school each year was stricken and

DISCHARGES AT PORT ROYAL.
"No Work" at the Naval station, But
ships Constantly Being Sent Away.

Port Royal, Nov. l4-Some fifty, about
half of the workmen at the naval station,
were discharged yesterday The reason
given is want of work. If this is the case,
the wonder is why so many vessels need
ing repairs have been sent from this port
to Norfolk to be overhauled The conclu-
sion arrived at here is that a position at
the naval station, or in any other govern
ment work, is very Unreliable" except
when one is an enlisted man or has a Wig
orous pull at headquarters. Several of
the discharged men have just brought
their families here and will have to nun
up stakes and hunt a JOB in some other
latitude.

A CHRISTMAS
BEING INVESTIGATED IN JUDGE
CLANCY'S COURT.

The trial of Frank Skoflanc, one of the
three Austrians charged with the murder
of Joseph Zagor, a fellow countryman, in
this city on the night of December 25 last,
was commenced in department No. 2 of
the district court this morning. When
the matter was called the county attorney
was not present and the work of selecting
a Jury fell to the lot of his chief deputy,
Decay Stivers. The prisoner was repre-
scented by Attorneys Kirk and Rice.
In connection with the prisoner there is
a story afloat to the effect that IN 1897
Skoflanc., who then had another name,
cut a man with a knife in Park county,
this state, and escaped. A reward for his
arrest was Offered by the Park county au-
thorities, but the alleged cutter was not
captured. The circumstances of the aft
fair are in the hands of the sheriff, but
it is not yet positively known that Sko-
| nanc is the man. If he is acquitted of
| the charge for which, he is now being
tried and turns out to be the man wanted
in Park county his release VIII be follow
ed by his arrest and transportation to
Livingston.
A man on the outside called at the
county attorneys office today and stated
he believed Skoflanc to be the person who
stabbed another man in Wardner, Idaho,
in 1897.
Three men are accused of completely in
the Christmas night murder the other
two being Charles SchmOlz and ice To-
man. The latter has never been caught,
but Schmolz is in Jail and his trial Will
follow tina of Skotlanc provided the latter
is convicted.
On the night of the tragedy the Aus
TRANS of Parrot Flat held a dance and
in order to ''uncOnfine the joy" and
awaken an interest in the affair consumed
considerable whisky and other intoXlcat-
inf beverages. BY and by a row was
started and knives We're drawn by half a
dozen of those who expected to take more
or less interest in it. ZaZor seemed to
he an especial target for their cutlasses,
for after the first lull it was found that
he had been stabbed and cut in Severa
places. The wound that proved fatal
was made near the heart. About the
time the Ugh was at its height the lights
were turned out and it is therefore not
known who inflicted the fatal stab; but
lust prior to the disappearance of the
lights Skofanc, Toman and SchmOlz, 1t Is
alleged, were seen with knives IN their
hands ready for action.
The following jurymen to decide the
case were secured: Dennis NJ. Smith, w
O.. Roberts. Charles Tomas, Thomas +,
Casey, A. j. Wicks, Thomas w. Williams,
John S.. Clapp, w. X. Parker, Charles II
James, William Hill, John F. Foley and
Peter McCabe.

Tense exhausted its ten challenges and the

state five, and had the last one called
been excused for any cause an order for
a special venire would have been neces-
sary. With one exception all the men
who served on the jury that found JOS
eph Shafer guilty were excused by the de-
Tense. The one was in some mysterious
manner overlooked.
Anton Arker was the first witness for
the prosecution. He said he had known
Joe Zagor four or five years. About II
o'clock last Christmas night he had seen
Zagor at Peter Spehar'S saloon on the
Parrot Flat. Forty or fifty others We're
there. They We're dancing. Some were
drinking: he did not know how many.
Witness and Zagor drank together.
At this point the services of an interpre-
ter were considered necessary and an ad-
journment until 1 80 o'clock was taken to
give the attorneys time to find a suitable
one.
Mike Ostrovich was selected to do the
interpreting. Through him the witness
further testified that the trouble COM
menced between II and IL o'clock, but he
did not see much of it as 1t occurred near
the doC". Witness was up against the ban
and had taken a drink with Zagor a few
minutes before. Zagor, however, left the
part of the bar where he was first stand
ing to accept an invitation to drink with
a man at another part. The stabbing oc-
Cured near the door.
Witness further said he knew a mar
called the "Cripple,'' but could not say
whether he and Zagor had come togeth-
er. The cripp,e's name was Barto, hui
witness could not say whether that was
his 'regular'' name or not. Witness saw
a man turn off the light.
Asked ty the county attorney if he hat
talked to anyone about the tragedy, thu
witness answered in the Affirmative, say
ing he had talked to several. The cripple
was five or six steps from ZagOr whel
the lights were turned out. He did no
see how Zagor was hurt. Frank Skot1an'
was there. After the trouble Zagor re

KILLED IN the
HIGH ORE
Gaze and Center Piece Crushed
Homer Smithley'S Head.
DEATH WASINS1ANTANEOUS
Smithley Had Not Resided in the City
LOng--COrOner Will Investigate
the Accident Tomorrow

Homer c. Smithley, an employe of the
High Ore mine, was killed in the smart
of the mine at noon today.
Smithley was employed as a carman,
and was at work in a drift on the 1900
level. At noon he got into the cage with a
number of others to go to the surface Tor
lunch. The car was loaded to its full
capacity of eight men and was COINS up
the west compartment of the shaft. West
of this compartment is the pump shaft.
The signal had been given to ascend when
one of the men saw Smithley's head fall
forward, and strike against a center
piece which separate the compartment
from the pump shaft. The man who saw
Smithley became alarmed and attempted
to give the signal to stop but could not
do so for some reason, but the station
tender saw the bell rope shaking and
thinking something had happened stopped
the cage seven sets below the 900 level.
There the men on the cage found Smith
ley had been killed, the top of his head
having been cut open and crushed by it's
encounter with the center piece.
Smithley's body was taken to the sur
l'leS olii lAN ~ D>'i'N ,
| accident. The body was removed to
Sherran's undertaking rooms, where an
inquest will be held tomorrow.
Smithley was about IS years of age
and had not lived in the city long. His
home was in Alton, I'll. and he had been
employed at The High Ore since Deem
Der 1G last. His acquaintance in the city
| was limited and his associates at the
| mine say he was single. Mr.. Sherman

mans effects, resides.
