The train was speeding along on its

is natural to presume that she was los

three Pullmans ahead passed over any
defect in the line that may have .caus

wayirom oavannan 10 jacrsonvine,
where the Coast Line went in only 47
minutes late, all things being consid

Southern trains, which were on time.
Much disappointment was felt in
railroad circles here oyer the " wreck,
as the Coast Line was first with its
train to the South on the Initial trip
last season and would have undoubt
edly made a similar record this season,
as the train had been handled without

Raieiqh, N. a,; Jan: io. Both
Houses of the General - Assembly met
at 11 : o'clock to-day. The Senate
opened with prayer by Dr. Tyree, of
the Methodist church. : Shortly ; after
the body met a menage was received ;
from the Gvernor In which he con
veyed the report of the ; committee on
enlarging the capites renort-of- the io-.
tdraieecomcilssJoner, BtatrDtDraf lan
and Auduaon Society. - ; ;
" Citizens of Pitt county petitioned
for a law requiring all churches,
schools and ?. other buildings to be
staked so as to prevent hogs and goats
from: resting under said; buildings;
also citizens of Northampton county,
requesting that all dogs be taxed by
the State. 1 -!...--
- Mason, of Graham, introduced three
bills to amend the law - regarding es
capes ; to regulate challenges in civil
cases and In regard to judgments.
Brodie, for the election of fire com
missioners in Franklin county; Long,
of Iredell, to amend the charter of the
Statesville Air Line Railroad ;Graham,
for the prevention of fraudulent
trading. I . .
Senator Grady, of Sampson, intro
duced a bill i providing ) that State
Treasurer Lacy be reimbursed for the
$374 84 embezzled by W. H. Martin,
the institution clerk, under W. EL
Worth, who was retained for a few
weeks bv Lacy until Martin's succes
sor became acquainted with his duty.
Senator Burton, of tteiasvuie, canea
attention to the fact that a similar bill
had been defeated in the Senate two
years ago. If this bill was passed
there was no assurance that a future
Legislature would not be asked to re
imburse Worth of the $16,434 88 MaS
tin stole. Senator Grady and senator
Ellington advocated the bill, declaring
that -Martin was only retained a few
weeks by Mr. Lacy, and in this brief
time his theft was discovered by Mr.
Lacy. The bill passed both readings
m the Senate without a division and
was sent to the House, where it was
subsequently discussed and referred.
In the House tne report of tne com
mltee on enlarging the ctpitol accord
ing to the plan of Architect Milburn,
was received rrom tne uovernor wnn

was referred to the Committee on Pub
lie Buildings. ! The Governor In the
transmission of the report, however,
urged the need of a Supreme Court
library. i 1 ! v '

lost a leg or arm In the service al
though worth more than $500; also to
allow appointment of women as no

The committee made a favorable re
port othe4lll to repeal the anti-jag
law far all counties except Cleveland,
Gaston and two others, which It was
originally .designed for. There will
be a fight on this bill, which, on mo
tion of McNlnch, of Mecklenburg, was
made a special order for January
