Chicago, July 17.—Anxious to ac

New York Central'has made an offer
of <18,000,000 for the Walsh properties.
The committee representing the Chl-

holding out for <20.000,000. but It Is
believed that <22,000,000 will be real

Idernble debate was occasioned

Connor bill appropriating <100,000 for
an agricultural college at Athens.
* Objection was made by Senator A.
O. Blalock to taking the bill up out
of order, and a debate was precipitated
as to whether a majority or three-
fourths vote of the senate was neces
sary to change the regular order of
business.
It developed that the senate has no
rules covering this point, and President
West ruled that the majority would
prevail. This has apparently been the
custom In the senate for years.
On the vote then ns to whether the
bill should he taken up It stood It to
15, and the bill was rend.

IN BIG HOMINY BIN
By Private Leased Wire.
Toledo, Ohio, Jply 17.—James Ash,
a sacker, employed at the Miami
malxe mill, was killed yesterday by
falling Into a hominy bis. He wee
smothered to death. Not until his body
clogged the delivery chute was his ab
sence discovered
with Olbeon at the club house. The
assertion was also made that the waiter
who, according to Gibson, waited on
him, was not on duty In the restaurant
of th* Hotel Imperial on the night of
June 8.
Hints were heard today-that details
of a conspiracy connected with the
death of Mrs. Klnan of a nature hither
to unexpected would come out within a
day or two. The proceedings halted
abruptly yesterday after Gibson had
refused to divulge the details bf his
professional relations with Mrs. Klnan
and Mrs. Louise Stenton, her mother.

At 9:10 o’clock the general Judiciary

They were Interested very vitally. But
there was no bill to consider.
Somebody said It was referred to a

It was referred back to the committee

So that was the situation. The bill

Mr. Fsldsr was discussing the bill In

A little levity was Injected Into the

—he w*nted to htng 'em—meaning the
