PROMISES T0 BE A FIZZLE. The State Farm Investigation Re- sults i:. Nothing but Talk. KECKLEY'S VIEWS ON THE LOBBY. Appropriation Bills Again Taken Up and Discussed in the House— The Omaha Charter Bill Signed. The Gambling Bill, Lixcory, Neb., March 16,—[Special to Tz Bre.|—The following is a copy of the bill which was passed by the house yesterday by a vote of 70 o 2, making an importaut change in the law relating to gambling. By compar- ing the bill with the statute it will be seen that the penalty of imprisoument in the pen- itentiary is stricken out and in the county jail made optional. There is no danger of the bill becoming u law. Should it pass the scnate, the governor will certainly kili it with his veto: Section 1. That section 214 of chapter 21 of the criminal code of the compiled stututes of Nebraska be amended to read as follows : Section 214. v person who shall play atany game er for any sum of moncy or other proverty of value, or shall bet any money or property upon any gaming table, bunk or device, prohibited by law, or at or upon sy other gaming device, or Wwho shall bet upon any game played at or by meaps of such gaming table, « device, i, upon conviction, any sum not 1éss than £50 and not to exceed $300, and upon a second or any subsequent conviction shall be fined 1 any sum not less than $100 than $500, and stand committed until the fine pud costs are paid. Provided, that if_any person or personis who shal lose any property of. money in a gaming hose or other place, either at cards or by wmeans of any other gambling device or game of hazard of any kind, such person, his wife, heirs, or legal representa- ves shull have the right to recover the money, or the amount thercof, or the prop- erty, or the value thereof, in a civil action, and may sue each or all persons participat: ing in the game, who shall be jointly and severally Jiable for all damages sustained by snid 1088 of money or property or both, and in au action to recover the same no_eviderce shall be required us to the specific kind or de nomination of woney, but only as to the awount 50 lost. Section 2. That section 215 of capter 21 of the eriminal code of the compiled statucs Ne- braska be & follo v person who shall set up op any gammng table, faro bank, keno or any kind of gambling table or gambling devise, or gaming mAchine of any descrip- tion or kind,” under any denomivation or name whatever, adapted, devised and as- signed for the purpose of ' pl any gamo of chance for money or property, except billiard tables, or whoshall keep any billiard table for the purpose of betting or gamoling, or shail allow the same to be used for such purpose, shall, upon conviction, be punished by fine of not less than one b A dollars and not more thun five hundry sction 3., Sections 214 and 2 anter 21 of the criminal code of the compiled stat- utes of Nobraska are hereby repeale: Section 4.

The meoting of the committee called to agree on reports resulted in nothing but tall, and the matter is again doferred, this time untii Monday arrives. Representativo Diller offered a resolution embodying the lines of a minority report, but he cmfid not get a second. It stated that while there had been no results commensur- ate with the outlay of money there was no evidence of a misappropriution of funds; that the committec had no right to take cog* nizance of the doings of Billings, and further- more, that that gentleman was not amenable to the discipline of the legislature, or words to that effcot. Representative LRayuer is writing the majority report, already fore- shadowed in Tuz Bie, and Senator Conner will prepare & minority report to be sub- mitted at Monday's meeting. By a sharp2fight in the house Mr. Rayner saved his bills from indefinite postponement but the proposition to separate the industrial college from the university is radical and the time short. It is not likely to succced. Congratulating Parn LiNcoLy, Neb., March 16.—(Special to ‘Tug Beg.|—Senator Couner this aftornoon introduced the following, which will come up for a voto on Monday. Resolved, That the legislatdre of Nebraska offer its congratulations to Charles Stuart Paroell and his colleagues on the triumph over the conspiracy based on forgery and perjury by which the enemies of Ireland had hoped to alienate from tie Irish leaders and their cause the rapidly growing friend ship of the British people and the established sympatby of the American press and people, IResolved, That this legislature runcw its expression 'of sympathy with the brave and patient efforts of the Irish people in the greatest constitutional struggle of modorn es to securo their legislutive indepond- o, anrd sends to Charles Stuart Parnell and William E. Gladstone its message of on- couragement with the hove that before mauy months a settlement will have been arrived at between the Irish and British people, hoo- orable and satisfactory to both.

LaxcoLy, Neb., March 16.—(Special to Tue Bee.)—This senate has been rewarkably free from personal bitterness, but there was 8 explosion in the consideration of the bill for removing county seats towards the cen- ter of the county on & majority vote. Seuator Sutherland led the fight in opposi- tion to the measure, and in giving its bistory and purpose asserted that it was in the inter- est of Senator Burton, of Harlan county, who owns & town (Orleaus) a fow rods nearer the fcenter of the county than the present cavital (Alma). The gentleman from Burt went op to say that the gentle- man from Harian had dodeed voting an im- portant measure, and had bartered and od with nearly every other senator in t votes for his private scheme. sk was wholly unexpected, and coming from 0 quiet a_member as Suther- land was doubly surprising. The bill passed the committee of the whole with the aid of several complimentary votes, On the adoption of the report Mr. Sutherland de- manded an ayo and nay vote. When it came to going or record the complimentary votes flopped. Platte Center of Platte county was also interested in the bill. The Lobby. Laxcory, Neb., March 16.—| Spocia .]—An effort was made again t ternoon to again throw open the senate gate to the lobby, the first motion being to admit ex-members and their families. Senator Keckloy made one of his shoulder hits with a protest, during which he made this state- ment: “If there is_a man under God's heaven I have a perfect contempt for it is the cx- member who comes to the capitol to throw the weight of his influence for questionable measures, I understand thore aro sev- eral of them here in that business.” The sentiment was indorsed by Senator Norval with the remark that his observation was that ex-membors of the legislature en- erally turn up as lobbyists, The nssault upon’the poace aud purity of the senate was sisted. The bar 18 still up, i icted to hanging over the fence and watching the performance go on. A Slight Mistake. Lixcowy, Neb,, March 16.—|Special to Tus :.]—The claim has boen put forward for Representative Yutzy that he was the first to suggest the plan of nominating Senator Manderson for re-election. The dato of Mr. Yutzy's proposition is put aboiit December 21 or 22 1In the interest of bistory and fairncss this mistaken assumption ought to be cor- rected. The honor of suggesting that novel nommation belongs to Senutor Norval. A senatorial colleague informs Tuz BEE corre- Spondent that he has seon o letter dated December 10 that proves that Mr. Norval's proposition was made previous to that date, and he has the testimony of Senator Mander- son himself that Mr. Norval was the first to advance the suggestion. 4his statoment is made without the knowledge of the gentle- man from Seward, Keckley Carr coLN, Neb., Mar —Senator Keckle) g ake pyrotechnic disy tory, but he expresses himsclf cl forcibly and commands unqualified respoct for his hard good scusc and his integrity of so. He has several times objeoted to rrence in house amendments by viva vote, or by a vole less than that pre- ibed by the constitution for sage of the body of the bill. He has raised the point that such a record would not stand the test if stioned in the courts.

[t is in tho hands of the senate commiitee, who have not-yot agreed on a report. The bill applies to all pl of 1,000 population and upw: Sor mbers of the committec want to raise the limit, but others urge the danger of sending the measure back to the house with amendments. Between the two nothing has been done, but a conclusion may be reached Monday. 'Represontutive Balcer is absent. i The State Printing Bill. LixcoLy, Neb., March 16, | Special to Tnz Bie.|-~The bill for a state printer is in a bad way. The house bill is on general file, but up to date has not been reached. The senate committee has decided not to report their measure, unless the house gots to its own bill in committoe of the wnole, on the theory that it is useless for the senate to waste its time, This Dbill at this stage does not stand one chance in fifty of running the gauntlet. Reported Faborably. LixcoLy, Nob., March 10.—[Special Tole- | gram to Tie Bee]—The senate committoe on the industrial home will report favorably without reduction the house bill appropriat- ing $31,000 for the erection of the south wing w the Milford institution, including the com- pletion of the heating and lighting sppraratus of the same, and for a bara and stable, The Australian Election Measure, LiNcoLy, Neb., March 16.—|Special to Tite Bee. |—~The scnate committee has reported Olmsted's Australian election bill to the gen- oral file without recommendation, ‘I'he com- mitteemen say the bill is too deen and com- plicated for thuir grasp, but they are not un- willing w have it disoussed. od the Senate Committoes.

The bills were immediately introduoed by Hurd and Taggart. $ House., Lixcory, Neb.,, March 16.—|Special to Tae Bee.]—The consideration of the appro- priation bills was resumed. Caldwell moved to take up the appropria- tions for the soldiers’ and sailors’ home, and moved to insert av item of §15,000 for “a hos- pital and $5,000 for five double cottages. Majors obposed the iterm for cottages, and denounced the present management of the institution. Caldwell strongly criticised both the archi- tect and management, Hungate moved to strike out $4,000 and in- sert $10,000. Delancy was in favor of economy in every sense, but thouwht the old soldiers shoula be well provided for, and was willing to ailow the appropriations asked for, Dempster hoped the $10,000 amendment would not pass. . Caldwell sugzgested that the $1,000 for cot- tages be increased to $10,000 and the $15,000 for wings be omitied. Scoville supported the proposition, Oimstead thought an elevator shonid be put in the main building and one or twa cot- tages built every year, 'bin criticised the management of the howe. Hungate's motion to fix the amount at £10,000 was adopted, and Scoville moved insert an item of $1,000 foran ele was accepted, and the item of $1 ditional wings was stricken out and the bill approved, The consideration of the exvenses of the state ofices was taken up, The item of $1,200 for sending out blanks was stri outy it being considered a cloak for ire. Cushing moved to amend by striking out $5,000 for school records and insert $3,000, which carried by a vote of 33 to 33, Dempster protested against curtailing the expenses of the department of pubiic in- struction, which he thought should not be hampered in its work. AFTERNOON SESSION. A resolution to adjourn over until Monday was lost, also a motion to exclude lobbyi: from the floor without special permission from the house. A resolution by Rayner limiting debate to four minutes in comumittee of the wnole was adopted. “The appropriation bills were taken up. “The sxpenses of the office of the attorney general were cousidered. Gavdner moved to strike out #8600 for traveling expenses. Olmstead wanted to know what the money was used for. Caldwell auswered that tuo attorney gen eral had to make soveral trips to Washing- ton during the year, and did not, like the gentleman from Adams, rvide on a free pass. The ameadment was' lost and the bill ap- proved. Tho expenses of the commissioners of public lands and buildings were passed over after several ineffectual efforts to lop off several items. ‘The item of §2,000 for repairs and care of capitol, on moticn of Gilbert, wus stricken out. Swartsley moved to strike out $1,200 for fue! and lights for capitol and- insert $3,000, which. by an amendment by Cady, ,was in- creased to §10,000 and adopted. “The item of $2,000 for electric light for capitol grounds was included in tho above the extra §2,000 appropriation for this pur- Pose was stricken out.

Bennett for $10,000 damiages for breach of promi was called for trial in the circuit court, Boooklyn', this afternoon, says a New York dispatch to the Chicago Times. The plaintiff,is.a widow and is 60 ye ol and thorfibfesdnntis a widower, 66 ars old. Hjs wife died in Pebruary vear ago. In her complaint the plain- tiff says she has been acquzinted with defendant many. years, that since the death of his wife he has puid her marked attention, visiting her at her vesidence in this city and elsewhere, and in conversations and letters has aslced and urged her to mavry him. In ay last at his solicitation she prom- ised to marry him,and it was agreed that they should be married as soon as she could arrange her affairs and secure a suitable wedding outfit. The outfit was duly obtained, nccording to the complaint, but the defendant failed to fulfill his promi: Although the fact does not appear in the complaint the doctor has married again. The widow is represented by Lawyer Howe. Dr. Bennett in his answe the plaintiff and he ente agreement that they should marvy in such manner as to avoid strife and anger and dispute between them. They could, however, not soagree, and strife, anger and dispute took place between them during their courtship. In con- sequence thereof the agreement be- came null and void. The strife and anger ana 'dispute were caused by the laintiff, and he urges it as a defense. ie also declares that the plaintiff agreed with him tocancel their engage- ment and_ghat each should discharge the other from allobligations under the agreement to marry. On these grounds he agks o be dismissed. There are a number of letters in the case which will be produced and which indicate a warmth of affection on the part of the elderly lover not altogether consistent with the idea of auarreling and disagreements. Some are written on prescription blanks with lead pen and some on note paper. The plaintiff is addressed as ‘‘Dear Sir ju Love.” In the letter he entreats that she will be frank with him. He said: ‘‘Please write me your thoughts. Let it come freely and willingly. I know it will be pure. Let your mind have its course without fear and in the Lord.” Another, which suggests the famous “‘chops and tomatoe sauce” of the Bar- dcll-Pickwick case, reads: “Night boat Mon evening.

ONLY A BRIDE FOR A ®WEEK. Sad Ending of a Young Hungarian's Honeymoon—Tragic Passion of a 'Prentice—She Broke the Matrimonial Record. Little Romances. Last Wednesday evening a young gentleman and lady drove into Scotia, says the Herald of that city, in great haste. The fhorse was put up at a liv- ery stable, the couple took supper at a hotel, and then sallied forth, with I-must-and-will-get-married looks on their young faces,in search of a parson. They were directed to Rev. Campbell, and when they found him the swain drew a marriage license on the preacher issued by Judge Laverty of Valley county. Mr. Campbell had his doubts as to whether he could legally tie the knot on the papers, and to malke assur- ance doubly sure, it was finally resolved to go over the border and do the job in Valley. Rigs were obtained, and the canaidates for matrimony, the rev- erend gentleman and two witnesses were driven to a point in our sister county about three miles from Scotia, The night was as dark as ten thousand bluck cats, and the party carried no lantern. There, on the open prairie, in the darkness, with no other ligh than the bright and expectant eyes of the bride, Rev. Campbellsaid the words in tones that spoke to heaven through somber sky that made Ward Vanwie and Josie Timmerman one until death do them part. The darkest hour is that which usbers in the dawn, beautifully says the poet, and we hope that the say- ing will prove true in this case. Dr. G.

The evidence showed that the deceased was pianoforte-maker’s apprentice. OFf late he had been in a depressed condi- tion. On Wednesday night he did not return home, and the following morn- ing, on a workman named Cole going into the packing-room, he found the de- ceased hanging up by a rope to a beam. The police being called in, he was cut down, but on being examined by Dr. Wood life was found to b xtinet. On the deceased was found a letter, in which he wrote as follows of a young woman with whom he had been kéeping company: *‘Dear ——: 1 love you so much that I could not bear to live with- out you. No one knows how I love that girl. What could I have not done for my darling?” He finished up the letter thus: *‘The sleep of death is sweet to those whose life is weary.” Warren B, Westcott and Miss Jane I, Truman were married recently at S: atoga. Forty years ago they were lov- ers and engaged, but Mr. Westcott jilted Miss Trueman and married a wealthy widow.
