The Canal Debate Was Resumed in
the Senate Yesterday.
The House Amends the Bankrupt
Law, After an Unsuccessful
Effort to Repeal.
NIGHT SESSION HELD.

Washington, June ls-The Isthmian
canal question was under considera-
ton at yesterdays session Of the sem
ate. Speeches were delivered by
Messrs. Perkins Of California, Gal
linger OF New York. Stewart Of Ne
vsiA and Morgan Of Alabama. All
advocated the adoption Of the Mica
ragua route, except Gallinger, who
made q forceful argument In support
Of the Panama route. He believed it
was the more healthful The argu-
ment Of the senators in support Of the
Nicaraguan route was made especially
on the ground of feasibility and bust
ness wisdom. Mr.. Stewart and Mr..
Morgan both commended that the health
conditions in Nicaragua were superior
to those Of Panama.
The house spent the day considering
bills reported from the Judiciary com
mittee. BY far the most important
measure was that to amend the exist
ing bankruptcy law. The minority
made a vigorous effort to repeal the
present law in toto, but was over
whe lmingly defeated--65 to 1871 The
most important amendment is one to
define preference, to meet the supreme
court decision in the case Of Pire vs..
the Chicago Title and Trust company.
Four additional grounds for refusing a
discharge in bankruptcy also are add
ed; First, obtaining property on credit
on materially false statements; sec
on1, making n fraudulent transfer of
property; third, having been granted
or denied discharge in bankruptcy
within six years, and fourth, having
refused to obey the order of the court
or refusal to answer material questions
approved by the court An evening
session was held for the consideration
Of bills reported from the Indian som-
mittee.
The night session WAS devoted to
consideration of bills reported from
the committee on Indian affairs. Bills
to ratify and confirm the agreements
negotiated by the Dawes committee
with the Greek, Kansas and Kaw In
dians Of Oklahoma was passed and the
bill to ratify the agreement with the
Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians was
under consideration when the house
adjourned at 1890.
The senate bill to provide for the
sale Of sites for manufs cturing or in
dustrisl plants in the Indian Territory
and q house bill for the relief Of the

Deal Complete.
BUILDING NEWS IN PADUoAH

Captain J. r. Smith, the we'll
known capitalist and wholesale gro
Ger, will erect the finest and most i'm.
posing building in the city of Paducah
this fall or early next spring. Cap.
tain Smith owns much valuable pro-
perty in the city, and is now improv-
ing much of it. The building he
contemplates erecting will be at Third
and Broadway, where the Citizens
Savings bank now stands. 1t will
have . stone front, will be five stories
high, II not higher. and will be an
office building. The Citizens Saving
bank will continue to occupy 1t. The
cost Of the structure will be $50, 600
or more. and nothing will be spared to
make it credit to the city. as we'll
as the enterprise of the owner.
Captain Smith has just built at Sec
ond and Broadway one of the finest
buildings on that thoroughfare for the
L. A. Lagomarsino place. 1t is Of
light pressed brick, and is five stories
high. 1t is nearing completion, and
is admired by all who see it.

The deal for the Sportsman park
grounds has been closed and all that
remains to be done to transfer the pro-
rerty is the making and the signing of
the deed of conveyance. This will
be done within the next three days
and after the transfer has been legally
made and filed, the park promoters
will begin immediate work on the
grounds. There will be little clear
ing to be done and few improve
ments besides the fencing. Mr.. Sam
jackson, the manager of the ball team,
is in corr, sponden, e with several pro-
fessional ball players and will have an
Al ball team. Paducah will thea take
her former stand in the national sport
and will no doubt support the park as
she did during the Central League.
The baseball fans and the lovers Of
the gun are all enthusiastic over the
outlook and are anticipating a great
time.
The park will be opened by big
baseball game in the afternoon and
gun club shoot in the morning, i'm
mediately after its completion, and
this will be a memorable day in the
sporting history of Paducah. The
promoters of the project deserve great
credit for their work and for their
efforts to give to Paducah what has
long been lacking, a good baseball
team and q little of the national sport.
Within the next six weeks it is pos-
sible that active work will begin on the
Masonic and Odd Fellows building
adjoining the postofiice. 1t will re-
quire about six weeks to prepare the
new plans for the building and after
the money arrangements have been
completed the architect will be in
structed to proceed with the drawing
Of the plans. The matter of arranging
for the funds has been delaying the
building for some time but it is
thought little more delay will be &C.
cisioned.

LUMBER TRAINS CRASH
Cars Dashed Down Mountain and
Collide With Log Train.
FOUR woRkMsN WE'RE KILLED

Men Were Loading q Car When Crash
Came, and the Cars Were Smashed
to splinters-saw Train cenIns,
But Toe Late to Save Themselves.
Williansport. Pa, Jan. IA mes
sage from Cross Fork, Potter county,
says: A frtghtful accident on the Ium-
Der road OF the Lackawanna Lumber
company occurred above here at 10
O'Clock yesterday morning, and four
men were killed instantly.
The names of sthe victims are as
follows:
H. ]. HERBSTREET, who leaves a
wife and child.
w. A. BENNETT. who leaves a wife
and tive children.
PETER CzEC, widower, who leaves
eight grown children.
OSCAR SANDER, single.
At the place named the men were
engaged in loading logs on a car.
when runaway train, consisting of
four cars loaded with pulp wood, came
dashing down the incline road at ter
rife speed, crashing into the car upon
which the men were working. An
Italian standing nearby saw the fast
approaching cars and tried to give
warning, but too late for the men to
get to place of safety, and the crash
came with frightful force, killing the
four men and smashing the cars into
splinters.
The place where the fatality oc-
Cured is on tn side of the mountain.
and the grade is 70 feet to the mile.
The four runaway cars broke loose
about a mile above the spot and had
acquired a speed Of fully SO miles an
hour by the time they reached the
log train.

STILL LAUNDERING.

The unconstitutional "Constitution-
al Convention is again in session here,
wrangling over its work.
= 1t has attempted to make radical
changes, but has from time to time been
checked.
The greatest blunder as yet recorded
Is its action in making the term of Office
OF a senator two years instead of four.
The body was intended to be the con
servative wheel of legislation, and serve
as check upon the hasty action of the
lower body. This radical movement
tends to destroy that very purpose.
1t has become so tired out with the
franchise discussion that it is being dis.
cussed in the party caucus.
The latest reports indicate that they
are no nearer a solution than they were
at first.
They want plan to disfranchise the
colored citizen and violate the Consti-
tuition of the United States, without vi
olating the Constitution Of the United
States.
In other words, they want water to
run down the hill without the water
running down the hill.
They want the man to shoot the tu--
key, without the man shooting the tur-
key.
They want an act done without doing
the act.
They are trying to find way of doing
an impossibility
WhetheEor not they will or can sue
coed admits of no question.
The amusing part of the whole bust
ness is found in the fact that the legis-
lature of Virginia and the unconstitu-
tional constitutional" Convention are
at logger-heads, and the indications are
that if the two were left in the same
room together long enough that snake
like one would swallow the other.
The body is being numerically con
demned and colored folks are not the
only ones voicing the condemnation
either.
