{ The Work Yesterday.
In the Senate J. F.. Cree, of Brooke
county, elected from the First SEN
atorial district to succeed the late
Hon Samuel George, took the oath
of office.
Resolutions of respect We're adopted
in both branches to the memories of
the late Samuel George, of Brooke
county, in the Senate, and Mr.. Max
well, of Harrison county, in the
House. Senator Snyder of Ohio coun-
ty, offered a tribute to Senator George
in the following:
.'Since the adjournment of the last
session Of this body an all wise Provi-
dence has taken from earth the VEN
cradle Samuel George, of the county
of Brooke, an associate whom we
loved, and whose life and example
was of the highest type and worthy
of the greatest emulation; citizen,
one of the most patriotic; a business
man, one of the most successful;
and a legislator, one of the ablest and
most conservative. In his death the
State of West Virginia has lost one
of its best men"
Out of respect for the deceased
both houses adjourned
until Wednesday morning.
Bills Distributed.
After adjournment the bills adopt

were distributed among the members.
Before the members had left their
seats, Speaker Meats in the house and
May in the Senate an
nounced that a conference of Repub

eight o'clock Tuesday night in the
House of Delegates to consider the
proposed tax bills.
Agreeable to the call every Repub |
lean member of the Legislature in
he city in conference at eight o'clock
.o-night to consider the tax bills. The
meeting developed the spirit Of unan-
nifty that was truly remarkable, and |
gave assurance that the Republican |
party would meet the common enemy
as united party in every sense if |
he word. The remark made by Sen |
ltor Ira E. Robinson that 'she was
more of the Republican par
" than anything else at the present |
:ime, seemed to represent the feeling
Of every member present at this re-
narkable conference.
Conference Sentiment.
While the meeting was only con-
'erence and no one was bound by the
.esult, yet in effect it's deliberation
xill be equivalent to the caucus as
he results obtained we're reached
without Dissenting voice and un-
luestionably expressed the conclu-
clusfon Of everybody present.
The remaining bills as recomme
