Ofiice-Salary Question Not Yet

versy between the governor and sew
eral county delegations with reference

DAYLIGHT ROBBERIEs IN NEW
YORK.
Two More Daring Coups Added to List
Of Hold-ups I'm Gay Gotham. :

New York. Feb. 16.--Recent high
way robberies in crowded New York
streets. Of which yesterdays wild
West" hold-up Of a taxicab and the
robbery Of two bank messengers Of
$4,000 in cash. was the most sensa-
tional In years were followed today
and tonight by other hold-ups almost
as spectacular. In the last Of these.
reported tonight. George Horth, a
dealer In diamonds, was robbed by
two men, who jumped from a taxicab
at Thirty-fifth street and Fifth ave-
nue.
Horth was beaten over the head by
one of the men, while the pther
snatched the wallet from his inside
coat pocket AsstT TIE man then jumped
back into the taxicab. which disap-
peared In the maze Of Fifth avenue
traffic. Horth. his head showing Sc
we're contusions. reported his loss 10
the police.
The earlier robbery occurred in the
Bronx In broad daylight. when Will
liam Dougherty. messenger for a
business firm. was attacked by a
youth Of IS, II Is claimed. and rob-
bed Of $S4o. his firms payroll, which
he was bringing from bank.

for which he prepared the plans;
therefore. he acted knowingly without
authority OF law, and upon a mere
chance that the general assembly
w9old accept his plans, and which, II
accepted would inure greatly to his
financial benefit. He must have
known that unless the general assem-
bly, should authorize the extensive
building as suggested by his plans. his
plans and model would be worthless
to the state. and with this In view he
was trying to commit the general as
sembly to this expenditure. He was
called upon to produce his vouchers
showing the amount OF money OK
pended by him covering his alleged
expenses and disbursements. but
rallied To produce a single voucher or
Item. and openly stated that he would
abandon his claim Of $3.50 for alleged
travelling expenses. lie further stated
that no had spent $4,000. hut when
called upon for vouchers failed to
produce any. We therefore find no
legal grounds on which Mr.. Todd can
base n claim against tho state for his
services In preparing the plans for The
enlarged capitol building"

of any one of its members as counsel,
or that the bill say who shall be en-
ployed.
Mr.. Stevenson stated that as he had
been through the dispensary fire

AdjOurns Until Wednesday.

Columbia, Feb. 17.-Without wait
ing for The report of the free confer
ence committee on the general appro-
priation bill, the House Of Repre-
sentatives adjourned tonight ut 1880
o'clock, upon motion of DR.. Olin Saw
yer, Of Georgetown, who objected to
remaining SO late, in view Of the fact
that the General Assembly will re-
turn next week. The House now
stands adjourned until 8 P. M. We'd
nesday, and not until that time can
the appropriation bill be adopted as
amended by the committee.
1t was hoped that the appropri-
alton bill might be ratified and sent
down to the Governor before the
weeks work was concluded, in order
that any objections which he might
make might be considered as soon as
the houses reconvened Wednesday
night. Affairs have not turned out as
expected, however. 1t is unde' stood
that the free conference committee
on the appropriation bill is tied up
on several important matters.
The Senate also adjourned tonight
without waiting for the report, and
1t cannot be made until next Wednes-
day.

ent the work is being delayed be-
cause Of lack Of the necessary mater

and as soon as they arrive the work

The materials which are lacking
are crossties, some are already on
the ground but not sufficient for the
work. and switches and the necessary
adjuncts for installing them. The
agent, Mr.. Boney, stated Monday
morning that Mr.. Hare was here last
week to see about the work which is
to be commenced soon. The railroad
is to have the work done, employing
its own men to do it,
AS there are twelve tracks to be
laid and quite a number of switches
1T will probably take some time TO
complete the work 1t seems now
that If the work is not commenced
soon the road will not be in a position
to have the use of these new tracks
during the fertilizer season, which
would go far toward preventing con-
gestion and in aiding the crews on the
shifting eD~ines in their work during
the heavy .eason.

Columbia, Feb. 16.-The House
spent most Of the day in the consid-
Grafton Of the resolution offered
through the judiciary committee, rela.
tive to taking a recess. Under the
terms Of the resolution it is proposed
to recede from business tomorrow at
noon Ohis may mean Sunday morn
ing) and return to Columbia the lat
ter part Of May for the transaction
OF such business as may then be on
hand.
AS complement to this resoluti :.
which was adopted after an a. y
fight the House cleared its Gale. :.
entirely Of all second reading bills.
and the indications are that nothing
further in the matter of legislation
will be undertaken. The opposition
to the recess until May was consider
able, but a majority Of the House
thought 1t the better plan. OF course.
the resolution has to be concurred in
by the Senate. The opponents of the
recess idea argue that the Senate will
not agree to the resolution, but will
adjourn sine die tomorrow, or pos
sibly some day next week.

So0' Ia ShdiiestoIi, De taDled, but
after considerable debate, the ap-
preparation was allowed The reason
given for not allowing this was that
1t was not constitutional to allow an
amount for such an institution. Sew
eral Senators referred to the Thorn
well Orphanage, stating that it was
one of the best orphanages of the
State. and had no State aid and that.
likewise, the Charleston home should
not receive State aid Those Senators
who favored the appropriation held
that the Charleston institution is not
OF any denomination, but is an insti-
tuition resulting from the Confederacy.
in which this State was leading fac
tor. Senator Young moved to table
the amendment to disallow the ap-
preparation, and this prevailed.
Under consideration Of the amount
allowed the board Of pardons, Sena-
tor Appelt moved to strike out the
not needed the recommendations of
this board, and he did not see why
II could not be abolished. This was
opposed on the ground that the board
was bound by law to meet, and money
should be appropriated for it's ex-
penses. Senator Hardin said he would
oppose this because by such action
the Senate would be approving Of the
Governors actions. The motion was
lost.
Under the head Of miscellaneous
appropriations the Senate amended
the bill 80 as to allow $1,000 for the
expense Of the legislative dispensary
winding-up committee. $40O for liti-
cation expenses for the "Ansel" dis
pensary commission, and $4,000
for the expense of the newly created
State warehouse system.
An amendment was adopted to the
section Of the appropriation bill re-
lating to the railroad commission to
pay $1,S00 annually to a railroad in
spector.
When considering the appropriation
for the office Of State game warden,
Senator Appelt moved to strike out
the appropriation for the office, stat
ing that he was opposed to the Of
fee, thinking 1t useless. The amend
ment was tabled-25 to s.
The appropriation for the salary of
the State geologist was tabled, this

600 for the National Corn Exposition.
but amended 1t SO as to strike out the
lines which stated that this should
be distributed by r. r. Herbert, f.

Under consideration Of the allow
ance for the board of medical exam
iners Senator Young moved to dis
allow the entire appropriation, he

DDS obsolete. The motion, however,
