The senate met at 11 oTclocks
Bills passed as follows :

pany.

To incorporate the Duplin and Wayne
Railway and Lumber Company.

To ereate the state board of equaliza-

by the committee on corporations. A

ing its passage.
HOUSE.

The House met at 10 oTclock.
There was the greatest legislative
sensation here today ever known in
North Carolina. It occurred in the
house of representatives. At 11:58
oTclock Sutton, ot Cumberland, member
of the committee to investigate the
lease of the North Carolina railway. to
which the senate substitute bill was re.
ferred, arose. Cook, who is chairman
of that special committee, was in the
chair. Lusk presiding during the ear-
Hileman, who was so hoarse that he
spoke with difficulty, sat on the left of
Cook. Sutton asked consent to cal up
the resolution asking the supreme court
to give tomorrow its opinion in the
matter of the substitute for tae lease
bill. His purpose was to gain time.

Blackburn sprang to his feet and us
the hands of the clock peinted to noon
declared that the hour set for the spe"
ci l order"the senate substitute lease
bill"had arrived and that it, must be
taken up.

Both he and Sutton kept on their
feet. Demands were poured at the
speaker to recognize one or the other.
Conspicious among those who cried out
were Sutton of Cumberland, Hancock
and Alexander, Sutton, of Cumber-
land, said he wanted the special order
held up until the resolution was acted
on.T He wanted delay,

Then the storm burst.

Blackburn said; oYou kuow that
under the resolution adopted by this
house no resolution can be introduced
{save by unanimous consent. You know
that the journal shows that the resolu-
tion was not introduced. I move that
the house concur in the senate substi-
tute.�

Then contusion broke loose. Twenty
members were on the floor at once all
shouting, all protesting, some one Way,
some another. The two factions arrayed
For two or three minutes
tle uproar continued,

Person, of Wayne, moved that the
house take a recess until 8 oT lock.

There was a roar of protests ; ~Vote
it down, vote it down,� and amid the
din, the voices of Alexander, the two

BY ECHO.

Sue and I one da: were strolling
Where the bluebells loved to grow,

Swinging out their bell shaped censers,
Tossing sweetness to and fro.

All those reddish, purple beauties
Haye their births in woodland wilds,
Clinging to some twig, or bramble
J. ike a frightened, ~timid child.

Yards and yards of green, gray mosses,
UTer the nearest holly strayTd

Berry laden were the branches
Swaying as tle mosacs swayed.

Not far off an aged beech tree
With a lightning batterTd crown
Through the leaves and parted branches
sifted ripening beech nuts down.

For the busy bright eyed squirrels
In his bosom made their nests"

So he gaye both food and shelter
To his little chattering guests.

All adown the steepest blutf side,
Tufted cedars all a row,

Each one like an Alpine cottage
In midwinter thatched with snow.

Through the pine. trees slender fngers,
W inds came moaning sweet refrains
Never yet, has written music
Cauzht those mystic minor s:rains.

Gorgeous clouds were busy weaving
Wrappings for the aged sun"

All those scenes have long since per-

Not a trace is left, dear Sue,
And the teet of iron horses
Trample where the bluebells grew.

Still thereTs beauty elsewhere, elsewhere
Flooded with the sunshine bright

Bat, you know a world of beauty
Would be nothing without light.

oTf the loupcervier, or Canadian
lynx, wer heavy and strong in pro-
porticu to his pugnacity and savage
appearance, he would be a bad cus-

said the man from Maine, ~As it
is, it takes a sandy hound to do ene

which is a hard thing to do, In
point of fact, the loupcervier is a
bluffer. ~He keeps himself pretty
wellin the backwoods away from
the abodes of men, but when the
hunter or jumberman comes unex-

means sure to runaway. Though
slight of build, thedoupcervieris long
legged, and when he faces a man,
his eyes glaring yellow, his gray
fur sticking out i all directions, his
tasseled vars upright, with the ugly
grin that shows his long teeth, he

would like to take up and fondle.
If the man approach him, he will
