ANTI-BASE BALL BILL.
IT PASSED THE HOUSE BY A
VOTE OF 63 TO 56.
In tlie Senate Mr. Lewis’ Bill Relating: to
Juries in Cases of Forcible Entry and
Retainer was Bead tbe Third Time and
Passed.
Austin, Tex., Jan. 23.—The senate
met at 10 a. m. yesterday with a quo-
rum present.
The bill of Mr. Linn, of Wharton, re-
lating to the running at large of stock,
came before the senate in the regular
order. After a few slight amendments
the bill passed to engrossment.
Mr. Lewis’ bill, relating to juries in
cases of forcibly entry and detainer,
was read the third time and passed.
Senate bill No. 42 was laid before the
senate on its second reading. This bill
amends the law relating to the depo-
sition of parties, and on motion of Mr.
Burns action on it was postponed un-
til after the special order of business
set for Monday.
Mr. Wayland obtained the consent of
the senate to introduce the following:
A bill to regulate the compensation
of certain state, district and county of-
ficers in this state and to repeal all
laws and parts of laws in conflict there-
with.
This makes five fee bills in all that
have now been introduced in both
houses.
The bills relating to the removal of
minority disabilities, revising the stat-
utes relating to she sheriffs, and
amending article 1129, title 29, chapter
1, of the revised statutes were reported
adversely. These bills were numbered
respectively 26, 46 and 47.
At 12 o’clock the senate went into
executive session to consider the ap-
pointments sent in by the governor.
After going into executive session
the senate decided to postpone action
on the governor’s apoiiitments and ad-
journed until to-day.
Austin, Tex., Jan. 23.—There was a
quorum when the roll was called yes-
terday morning in the house.
Invitations to seats on the floor were
extended to A. K. Swan and B. T.
Barry, ex-representatives.
The ReubeH bill, inhibiting the play-
ing of base ball and other games on
Sunday, was then taken up for final
consideration.
Mr. Bailey spoke against the meas-
ure. as did Mr. Childs.
Mr. Blair moved to lay the bill on
the table, and on this motion the vote
resulted—yeas 58, nays 66.
So the house refused to lay the bill
on the table.
Then there was speech-making and
amendments offered to the hill.
The question then recurred on the
original bill—that of Mr. Reubell, on
which the vote was 63 yeas, 56 nays.
Mr. Carpenter moved to reconsider
and lay the motion on the table.
Mr. Walters moved a call of the
house.
Thereupon Mr. Carpenter withdrew
his motion, and the motion for a call
of the house was also withdrawn.
Mr. Fields-, of Hill, from the com-
' mittee on. rules reported a resolution
to have printed 300 copies of a book
containing the rules of. the house and
senate, the federal and state constitu-
tions.
An amendment was offered inserting
200 for 300 and omitting the printing
of the constitutions. 7
The amendment was tabled and the
resolution w:as adapted.
A motion to reconsider the Reubell
bill whs made, and a motion to lay
that motion on the table was made.
Thereupon the opponents of the bill or-
dered a call of the house.
■ The call disclosed several absentees,
a,"4-.on Mr. Carpenter’s motion to ex-
cuse tbe absentees, the opponents of
/~/tbe bill, led by Mr. Blair, demanded a
roll call. The vote by roll call result-
ed: Yeas 63, nays 58.
For lack of two-thirds majority the
house refused to excuse the absentees.
Mr. Carpenter then announced that
he would withdraw the motion if the
opposition would agree to its being
called up Tuesday morning.
Mr. Ward, ©peaking for the oppo-
nents of the measure, agreed to this.
Shortly thereafter the house ad-
journed.
Held for Murder.
Texarkana, Tex., Jan. 23.—The police
have arrested F. A. Bass, the night
watchman of the Central Coal and
Coke company’s mills at this place, and
Louis Parks, on the charge of murder-
ing John McKay, the recluse merchant
of Rose Hill, on Jan. 10. In a prelim-
inary hearing before Justice Hooks
yesterday evening, they were remand-
ed to jail until to-day to allow them
time to secure an attorney’s aid. The
accused are kept in different cells.

ton and Texas Central announces the

Alligator in a Water Pipe.
The people out in Germantown, Pa.,
during the last month made numerous
complaints about the water; so, on last
week men were detailed to examine the
pipes in and about certain houses, says
the Philadelphia Press. At last they
came to the conclusion that the main
pipe v/as choked and laborers were at
once put to work digging the dirt out
for about ten feet. After several hours
they reached the main where the ob-
struction was supposed to be. Every
now and then they were surprised to
hear a scratching noise that came from
within the pipe, and many reasons
were given as to the cause. Finally
the pipe was opened, and they worked,
taking out the pipe for some distance,
until the whistle blew for dinner. Aft-
er eating their well earned meal, they
started for the hole to begin the after-
noon’s work. On reaching the spot
they descended. But, behold! they
saw something crawling along the
pipe. Each dared each to go below
and-find out what it was; but, before
going far, they discovered that it was
an alligator, which was about two feet
six inches long. Everyone in the
aeighborhood began to wonder how the
reptile got there, and many began to
think how nice the water had been
tasting during the past two years.
Sermantown has built up very rapidly
during the last five years, owing to
purity of the water, which was as clear
as crystal and resembling that of Pit-
man Grove.
“The alligator is about ten years
old,” said a gentleman who was well
posted on animals and reptiles, “and
it is the prettiest one that I have seen
for many a day.” The gentleman
made a good offer for the reptile, but,
to his regret, it was refused.
One explanation for its appearance
is that it had crept away from its own-
ers, being dissatisfied with the water
given it, and made for a better place.
Another is that it may have been
brought from Florida by a tourist and
escaped.

chard of R. H. Williams, of West
Corinth, Vt. The circumference of the
trunk near the ground is twelve feet
four inches.
The largest wrought iron pillar is at
Delhi, in India. It is 69 feei high, and

Sweet Relief.

more than we can stand. Look at Gild-
