CHANGES OF RAILROAD TRACK.
Several bills on the calendar were
PASSED. but when the Senate bill No. 81,
amending section 1889 of the Code. re-
ferrinG to power of railroads TO change
the location of tracks. Mr. Cogbill made
an earnest speech in opposition. He de-
clared it was most dangerous to amend
a general law so as to allow railroad
company to chsnge its line. In effect
it took from the people vested rights,
since the law directed that in assessing
damages for a right OF way benefits con-
terred by a railway had to be taken into
consideration. He wanted delay at the
least.
Mr.. Wickham, patron of the bill, said
he had no objection to postponement OF
the bill, but he would not yield to Mr..
l5ryant's suggestion that the bill be re-
committed. Finally, it was made the
srecial and continuing order for Friday
