LEGISLATURE.
SENATE.

oENAlE.
The Senate yesterday passed the bill
to appropriate $4,000 and site in
Capitol Square for an equestrian statue
of Gen. j. T.. B. Stuart. When il came
to a vote, and it was suggested that, as a
tribute to the memory of the great
cavalry leader, the Senators stand, every
member promptly rose to his feet. The
Stuart Monument Association has about
$40, 900 already in hand, which will be
swelled by the State appropriation. The
site selected is the knoll in front of the
south end of the Capitol building.
After the above action the Senate
went into executive session and con-
frmed the governors nominations for
the new penitentiary board.
Senator Cogbill presented a resolution
looking to the election Of United States
Senators by direct vote of the people.
The resolution went over until today. The

Mr.. McIlwaine offered bill to amend
section 2260 of the code in relation to
divorces. The amendment is TO abolish

missioner in cbancery. The object of
the change is to give greater publicity to
divorce proceedings.

The Bland till to appropriate 81, 500
to the fremen's relief fund came up in
the House. 1t is proposed to make this
an annual appropriation to assist disabled
| firemen, their widows and orphans.
The bill has been before the legislature
for several years, and the firemen sent
strong delegations there to work for the
measure. 1t was ordered to its engross-
ment BY vote of 81 to A. Mr.. Cation
made an able argument for the measure.
Mr.. Cation grew eloquent as he appealed
to the House to stand by the men who
had worn out their lives 10 defense of
the houses and lives and property Of the
people. The speaker paid an eloquent
tribute to the bravery of the volunteer
firemen and appealed eloquently to the
members to vote for the bill.
As an aid to the Postofice Department
Mr.. Powers, of Caroline, introduced a
bill making it fine of not less than $40
nor more than 800 to destroy rural
free-delivery mailbox.

PERSONAL ENCOUNTER THREATENED.
When Mr.. Payne, the republican floor
leader in the House, moved at o'clock
last night to recess for three hours, there
was scene of turmoil such as has not
been witnessed in the House during the
present session. Mr.. Payne and Mr..
Richardson, the minority leader, were
exchanging compliments when Mr.. Bart
lett, of Georgia, walked down one of the
aisles on the democratic side clamoring
for recognition.
Some one on the republican side call
ed out ''Sit down." accompanying the
command with descriptive adjectives not
at all complimentary to the Georgian.
Mr.. Bartlett's ire was aroused, and,
turning toward his republican colleagues,
he apparently picked out Mr. Reeder,
of Kansas, and made the remark,
and launched a storm of denunciation at
the Kansan's head, dirty cur" being
one of the terms distinguishable above
the uproar.
Mr.. Reeder, who, by the way, is about
three times as large as the Georgia men,
Der, was talking to his seat-mate and
seemingly did not know he was the OBJ
iect of attack until Mr.. Bartlett had
about concluded.
Awakening to realization of the sit
uation, he attempted to arise as if to
make for the Georgian, but was restrain
ed by Mr.. Mann, of Illinois, who held
fast to his coat tails. Mr.. Bartlett also
was forced into his seat by some of his
friends, and the incident was publicly
closed. Later there were explanations,
and good feeling was restored.

noon, when Mr.. Bailey demanded vote

city that morning to drive to the lat
ter's summer home in West Gardiner
to take measurements for some lumber
that was needed in the alterations that
have been going on at the house. Mr.
Libby was also in search of a hired girl
and had heard of one in that vicinity
and went to engage her if possible
The two gentlemen had driven to the
judges house and in the afternoon
started for the house of the wished-for
hired girl, which was in Litchfield
While driving down a hill in Stevens
town, Litchfield, Mr.. Libby thought he
saw a deer in a field some distance
away, and after reaching the bottom
of the nil he left the carriage and the
judge and taking his gun, which he
had taken in the event of seeing some
feathered game, went back up the hill
and took more careful survey of the
deer and the surrounding country. he
again saw the animal and making cal
culatons as to the probable exit OF
the deer from the field, he made good
time in getting to a suitable place to
the windward of the deer. Here he
awaited developments, and it very soon
appeared that something developed.
The shotgun was loaded with buckshot
and was at Mr.. Libby's shoulder when
a pair of horns We're seen coming over
the crest of the hill between the deer
and the hunter. A head and neck and
then a body appeared outlined against
the sky, and in only a few minutes thu
buck had trotted to within about 2"
yards of the postmaster when the deer
stopped, threw up his head as though
seeming danger, and as he turned to
run Mr. Libby's gun let go charge of
buckshot that subsequently proved tho
finish of the buck. The wounded ami
nal ran some $50 yards before drop
ping and being relieved from all suffer-
ing by Mr.. Libby's cutting his throat.
When the judge heard the report of
the gun he imagined there might be
something for him to see so he drove
through the field and nearly as soon
as the buck dropped he was on the
scene. 1t had only taken some Is or
20. minutes to get a big buck deer on
their hands and only top buggy to
get him home in. However, the ami
NAL was soon loaded into the wagon
by Il good deal of crowding, and after
making a visit to the house of the
wished-for worklady the drive to this
city was begun, and it was only two
hours from the time that the deer waa
shot before he was landed in this city.
lie was big one and had as pretty
set of antlers as has been seen in this
city and, the antlers had four prongs.
The weight of the animal was about

HE W!LTED.
The Boy Confessed His Theft When
Proof Seemed Convincing.

A case Of larceny was tried, Satur-
day afternoon, at the police court fol-
lowing the arrest of Allan Doucette on
complaint of H f. Arnold. 1t seems
that, last Wednesday, Archie Arnold.
who assists his uncle, H. f. Arnold. at
the latter's bowling alley, had $40 in
his vest pocket, and in the afternoon
while at the alley he took his coat and
vest off while he bOWled with a friend.
Later when he put on his vest and
felt for his money it could not be found.
Nothing was said Of the affair." but Mr..
Arnold began to keep an eye out for
the thief and. Thursday, suspicion be-
gan to turn on young Doucctte, who
had been in the bowling room the day
the money disappeared. Previous to
Thursday, Doucette had been without
money, but, Thursday, began bowling
at the alley and paying for TIE games
he lost. Mr.. Arnold made note Of this
ard also learned later that Doucette
had taken q party of friends to a play
and paid for their tickets, and after the
play had taken them to a lunch room
where the party had a lunch at his ex-
pense Mr.. Arnold noticed, Saturday
that Doucette left the alley where he
had been bowling and went to Hamil-
toms restaurant and returned in few
minutes. When Mr.. Arnold asked Mr.
Hamilton the nature of Doucette's visit
he learned that Doucette had a 50 bill!
changed and previously had bills of q
larger denomination changed at the
same place. These facts with the APP
parent flush condition of Doucettc
led Mr.. Arnold to the belief that Dou-
cette was the guilty party and he sc
informed City Marshal Andrews. The
officer went to the bowling alley, Sat
urday afternoon, and finding Doucetto
there asked him to accompany him tC
the police station. Arriving there the
warrant was read but Doucette dis
claimed any knowledge of the affair
until Judge Larrabee suggested that
Mr. Hamilton be sent for, when Dou-
cette wilted and admitted that he took
the money. In his decision Judge Lar
rabee bound Doucette over to the jan
uary term of the superior court in the
sum of $500. Doucette was not able tc
secure the necessary securities an6
was taken to the county Jail at Au-
gtlSta. When arrested Doucette haG
$3.50 in his pocket. and as this was g
part of the money taken it was refund
ed to it's owner.
