Kentucky Legislature Adjourns Sine
Die Without Decisive Action.
A WILD Bil-GENE IN THE HOUSE
The Governor’s Acfion In Calling Out the
IIIilitia. Indorsed Amid a \Vhirlwind
of Disorder -- General Hardin
Averts a Fight and Bloodshed.
F11 ANKFO1 '1‘, Ky” March 18. -—The leg-
islature met in joint session today and ad-
journed sine die without an election.
While the clerks called the roll of both
houses the Democrats failed to vote, and
the roll stood 60 present. The ballot was
then ordered for the last vote in the race
for United States senator.
Democrats nor Republicans voted. On
motion of Hon. C. B. Brown the joint as-
sembly eternally, forcibly, everlastingly,
perpetually and for all time dissolved,
never to meet.
Governor Bradley was tried by the senate
committee last night on the charge of
usurpation of authority in calling out the
troops. The governor went before the
committee and denounced the proceedings
as of the worst star chamber type He de-
manded that he be permitted to go before
the senate and present his case, but the
Neither the-
committee declared that it would be im- ,
possible to allow him to address the senate.
The committee met early this morning
to prepare a report to be submitted to the
senate. The senate claims the power,
under sections 1, 081 and. 1, 98.2 of the Ken-
tucky statutes, to impose a fine of $500
and imprisonment for six months on “any
one” convicted by the senate of the charges
made against the governor.
The point on which the/ governor laid
the great-est stress was that the senate, by,
the adoption of the inves1igation rer 011]-
tion, hurl convicted him be101e tr1al by
saying that he was guilty of these charges.
save-.1 Wat Hardin. '
The excitement of the past few days
seemed to hav 1 mo L ‘1 down entirely this
morning, and 11’ it- 1. (re not for the fact
that the boys in 1. 11:1. pa ced back and forth
in froxit of the lag“ ilol building with their
guns on their . 1:110 riders, no one would
have thought tl: at there was anything out
of the ordinary :oing on.
A personal encounter that would cer—
tainly have resulted in the death of one or
two men had it not been for the interven-
tion of General P. Wat Hardin, late cun-
didatafor. governor, and others occurred
outside the Capitol hotel this morning.
Colonel E. H. Gaither of the Second
regiment, state guard, was walking up to
the hotel when he met .Tack Chinn. Colo-
nel Gaither said, “How are you, Jack?”
and was passing on, w ban 0‘ oinn replied.
“D——-n you, don t you speak to me,”
and at the same time made 11 11101 ement
for his hip pocket. '
Before a weapon could I: c drawn Gen-
eral Hardin rushed in 1:1 tween the two
men and succeeded in prcx outing a fight,
but not before Colonel (-11 lither had said to
Chinn: “I am ready for you at any time,
sir. It doesn’t matter whether you speak
to me or not. ”
When the story of this encounter became
known. it created great excitement, and
many said that it was but a beginning of
hot times between the friends of Black.
burn and those who upheld the course of
the governor in calling out the militia.
Dunlap Didn’t Vote.
W. G. Dunlap, who was called in the
house in place of Kaufman, Democrat,
was asked this morning:
“Will you vote today?”
“No, I will not,” he replied.
Dunlap was sent for by Colonel St. John
Boyle, the Republican nominee for United
States senator, but he refused to yield to
the Republican request to vote.
The house had another stormy begin-
ning this morning. Barnett offered a reso-
lution indorsing the action of the governor
in calling out the militia. Mr. Howard
of Butler moved the previous question.
In a moment every Demobrat 1n the house
was on his feet demanding to be heard.
The speaker ruled that the previous .ques—
tion had been ordered and no speeches
were in order. This did not silence the
Democrats, and at least a half dozen
speakers were at it at the same time in the
greatest of confusion, during which bayo-
net rule. carpetbaggers, soldiers, militia,
anarchy, cowardice and such epithets were
thrown at the Republicans. The resolu-
tion was adopted by 11 yea and nay vote of
51 to 45. ..

A Petition to 'Have It Returned to the
Assembly For Reconsideration.
ALBANY, March 18. —The following
cemmunication, signed by all the Demo-
crats in the assembly and Messrs. Spring-
weiler and Peevers of— Elie, was handed to
the governor this mo: Ding by Messrs.
Kempner Davison and Trainer:
“The undersigned members of the as-
sembly respectfully request the return tc
that body of senate bill No. 791, common-
ly known as the Raines bi 11, for the pur-
pose of a fair and free consideration. The
arbitrary and tyrannical methods resort—
ed to in forcing the passage of said bill
must be known to your excellency. It
came from the senate on March 11, was
referred at once to the excise commission,
and on the following day, without the
committee having met, was placed on the
order of second and third reading and
pressed upon the hOuse for immediate
adoption. To secure its passage on that
day the ordinary rules of parliamentary
procedure were violated, and we Were de-
nied that opportunity for unrestricted de—
liberation and amendment which a meas-
ure of such farreaching importance to our
constituents imperatively demanded.
Without legal authority the speaker order-
ed the doors of the assembly chamber to
be locked, with the evident design of co
ercing a vote upon the bill, and both mem-
bers and senators were denied egress and
ingress. In claiming that the house was
not constitutionally in session when the
bill was alleged to have been passed We
beg to call your attention to section 11,
article 3, of the state constitution.
“In order therefore that we may be
granted the right to consider the Raines
bill in open session, to discuss its various
provisions freely and to offer such amend—
ments as we may deem necessary. we sin-
cerely urge you to return the said measure
with a recommendation for its reconsider-
ation.’
Assemblyman Kempner presented the
petition. In so doing he said: “We, the
minority members of the assembly, ask
you to return to the assembly the Baincs
liquor tax bill. We are very serious in
our request. We believe we have not been
able to represent our constituents in this
matter owing to the unusual methods
adopted in the assembly when this bill
was on its final passage. We ask you that.
you send it 11 ml. for proper action. We
knov. the request- is unusual, butwe think
it necessary.”
The governor’s response was short and
gave no intimation as to 110w he would
treat the petition. He simply said he
would give i;. l'ls consideration. The com-
mittee tic :1 withdrew.

AN EXCITING RACE.
A Deer, Panther and Locomotive Have a.
Race in the Florida. “’oods.
C. C. Taylor, engineer of: the Pablo
railroad, has pulled a. throttle for 36
years, and during that time he has had
many novel experiences, but a few days
ago he had one that has no parallel
in his life’s histOIy.
It. 11' as during the 1 un from Pablo to
Jacksonville. Conductor B. Bogero
pulled the bell-cord to leave Pablo at
five 11. m. The train slipped. out of the
depot and sped for home. About eight
miles this side of Pablo is Cedar swamp,
a tangled morass in which bears, wild-
cats, deer, and even panthers have been
often killed. When about half way
through the swamp an immense buck,
wild-eyed and lathered with sweat,
made aplean leap of 25 feet to the track,
within 60 feet of the engine. An in-
stant later there was a crash of the
underbrush, and out of it came an im—
mense panther, running so fast that he
seemed to be level with the ground.
He was so eager to catch the game
ahead of him that he had no eye for
the train.
Passengers in the five coaches did not
know of the exciting race going" on
ahead of the cowcatcher, but they did
notice that there was a series of quick
and successive jerks, and that the train
was spinning along through the swamp
at a whizzing pace. It was at this time
that Engineer Taylor resolved to take
a hand in the race himself. He pulled
the throttle wide open and the engine
fairly humped herself.
The deer was about 100 yards ahead,
and the panther was 30 yards behind
the deer. The deer was barely holding
his own. Something seemed to be the
matter with him, fon he didn’t. run as
he should. The deer kept the track for
a half mile. Before he left the track,
however, the engine crawled close upon
the panther. He heard the rumbling of
the wheels and the trembling of the
track, and he quickly got out of the
way, hiding himSelf in the underbrush
by a series of successive and graceful
leaps.
The deer did not quit the track until
a quarter of a mile farther on. It:
took to the open pine woods on the 01’1-
posite side to which thepanther had
leaped, and the last seen of him he was
still running like chain lightning.
Conductor Iiogero went ahead to see
what was up when the train was run-
ning so fast, but only got there in time
to see the 'deer scudding through the
woods. He told a. few of the passen-
gers, but none of them was fortunate

Wood That Will Not Burn.
Fireproof 'wood will form an im~
portant item in the. building of future
men-ol-war and other vessels. The
process consists in forcing sulphate
and phosphate of ammonia into the
wood by hydraulic pressure, and it {is
said that the most gratifying results ..
have been obtained from woods treated
by it, they having been subjected to
high temperatures without igniting,
the only effect being a slight carbon-
izing on account of the intense heat.
With a. steel jacket, to protect it from
the offensive attentions of the enemy
and noninflammable inside wear, the
modern warship will be a. reasonably
safe craft in which to put the public
money and the lives of the aquatically-
inclined f. portion of its population.—

The Temperature of Dining-Rooms.
The temperature of dining-rooms is
frequently too high. It is a common
thing for servants to neglect airing the
room and attending to the temperature.
Probably the majority of people would
name 70 Fahrenheit the proper heat for
the room, but this' 13 much too high. An
authority in this matter says that 60
is none too low, and a person who has
suffered from the discomfort of an over-
heated room is likely to agree with him
after making a trial of different temper-
atures—N. Y. Tribune;-
