Columbia, B. C., December 8.—It is
with j the sabject of general observation that
the first two weeks of the I legislative
aearion of 1888 have brought forth fewer
results, whether in the passage or the
introduction of important measures
than almost any previous session.
Both houses seem inclined to “jog
along,” end await rather than suggest
measures of greatest public interest
The Senate does its work very rapidly—
generally clearing its calendar every day,
with some little time left for the Con
script Fathers to gather edification (at
leisure) by attending the session* of the
lower but larger branch. In the House
there is always a flood of bills. Among
these ere numbers of measures of no
public interest Bat they must go
through ell the sieges, from reference to
■ome committee to their survival or
their death on ope of the two eobreqaaot
readings. The calendar soon beeomre
crowded, and it looks as if there is to
be no end to the law-making. In the
midst of this apparently small business
(though aome of it is very important to
the comm unitie* affected) there are cer
tain topios whose consideration very
intimately concerns the public welfare.
Borne of these will now be noticed.
thb clucboh aiqunnr.
It we* generally supposed that some
measure would be early introduced look
ing to the formal acceptance by the
Bteto of the bequest made in the will of
the rite Thomas G. Crimson, for the
purpose of founding a separate agricul
tural college. ' Col. B. W. Bimpeou, the
exeeutor of the will, has submitted a
copy of that instrument and asked the
ably to signify the Btate’a
or rejection of the beqoasi.
The' proceedings incident to the pre
sentation of this communication were
nowise significant of the sentiment of
either branch. The will was ordered to
be printed for the information of the
aiabere Nothing farther.
A canons of the friends and active
movers in behalf the Crimson College
was held at the Grand Central Hotel.
Between thirty and forty Senators and
Krepeecnritivti wens Senator
Y. J. Pope, of Newberry, presided.’The
plans to be pursued iw bringing the
measure before the I.erifcUtr.re and
ponhing it there were tiiSivughly dis
cussed and a committee consisting of
Senators Edwards, of Darlington, and
Ferguson, of Laurens, and Representa
tive W. C. 1 rinet, of Abbeville, wee ap
pointed to prepare a bill to bo presented
simultaneously in both booses. The
bill has been trained to include the ac
ceptance of the bequest with n small
appropriation to begin work so as to
comply with the provisions of the Crim
son wul* It has already been intro-,
dooed—in the Senate by (JoL Edwards
of Darlington, and in the Honse by Mr.
Bonnet of Abbeville.

The first movement towards a redac
tion of salaries was embodied in a. bill
offered in the Honse by Mr. Fowler, of
Union, to reduce the salary of the Cir
cuit Judges from $3,&00 to 82,500. The
bill was onfevorebly rrjsrrted by the
indieriry committee. Mr. king, of Ab
beville, suggested by way of compromise
$3,000 instead o( $2,500 as a yearly
stipend. Then followed a long debate,
consuming well-nigh the whole time of
the Honse for two days. The majority
of tho members were inclined to the
compromise; so, after considerable talk,
the bill was passed to its third reeding
by a vote of 66 to 47. Ra fate m tho
Benate is donbtfal.
Mr. Barkley has introduced a bill to
fix tho per diem and mileage of the
memberfe. Cel. Barkley says that hia
bill fixes the per diem at $1 and th?
mileage at one cent a mile.
The economists of the House, it is
■aid, bold an informal ezueffs Thursda
night and decided to pnsh on with ai
their reform measures. It is on the
cards to peas a bill reducing the Gov
amor’s salary to $3,000, and that of all
State officers to $1,800, cutting down
eierioal assistance funds proportionately.
It is also said tbbt they have decided to
push the reapportionmem bill through
at once, and all other economic mean
area; that no appropriation will be made
for work on the State House, and that
appropriations will be reduced horizon
ing of snob taxes of

to 8 mills. This bill had been reported
unfavorably by Mr. Dantxler, of Or

Indianapolis, Dec. 8.—Perhaps th*
m at desperate and coldest doodad attempt
to ci mb mil murder that ever occurred to
tble city took place between 1 and 8 o'clock
.hi* morning la the bakery of John P.
Brace, at OM Virginia avenue. About
three years ago Bruce took into his
employ a poor German
George Hacker and learned
the trade. Hack— gradually devel
oped into a full-down Anarchist and ttocta-
ilst and when conversing on the subject of
anarchy would grow excited and abutov*.
Bruce U an ardent Republican end every
time he would, mention the election of
General Harrison and exhldt any
cation over tbe result Hack-
come violently —raged. He w— tolerated

This morning when

Bruce entered tbe
bakery to mix the Amur for hia bread,
Hacker, who had concealed hlmaelf ia the
rt>om, sprang on him with a hatchet aad n
long Iroife. He struck Bruce about the eye
with the sharp edge of the hatchet and on
tbe head with the dunt side; and th— ha
crowded his victim against the wall and
deliberately plunged the dagg— nine times
into Bruce s neck and face. The victim
finally cried out for his wife and the brave
little woman rushed into the dimly-lighted
room and grabbed the bloody Anarchist
about the neck, dragging hinvaway from
her husband just as he ww'lifting the
h itebet to brain him. A terride struggla
took place. He was wild with murderous
hate, and, holding his doody knit* ia hg"' 1
he rushed about tM room, endeavoring to
again gat at the dying Bruce. He flaalty
did get by tbe ahleldlog wife and reached
Bruce, when the latter, who is of giant
frame, struggled to his feet ia n dying ef-
fort and grabbed him, striking Hanker a
blow on the head which made 4 onward of
