LEGISLATORS Considering a Law to Nake Prize Fight ing a Felony. BOTH SIDES WAITING FOR YOTES The Administration Forces Thus Far Unable to Secure Votes Enough to Prevent the Corbett-Fltzslmmons Mill Governor Culberson's Caustic Proclamation. Austin, Tc.x., Oct. S3. In compllnnco with tho proclamation of Governor Culber son convening tho leglslnturo to tuko action on tho prizo fight question, which has been agitated by tho proposed Corbett Fltzslmmons mill nt Dallas, Oct. 81, n quorum of both houses responded to roll cull yesterday nt noon nnd wcro In work ing shnpo within thirty minutes, and at 12:30 o'clock promptly received u messngo from Governor Culberson. Tho govornor ronllncrt himself solely to tho prizo light question, nud reviewed nt length tho situa tion which has mtvdo tho calling of tho leglslnturo necessary. Hl3 ntessago, nftcr tt careful revlow of tho condition of tho laws in other states, concludes as follows: "By proclamation all persons havo been given notlco that this exhibition would not bo permitted, nnd whatever has been dono by Its projectors was with full re sponsibility for tho consequeuco3. Tho public Interests require that this exhibi tion, especially, should bo suppressed. Discountenanced by Moxico nnd tho terri tories, outlawed nnd drlvon from every state, it is proposed to nssemblo a hordo of ruffians nnd gamblers nnd oiler hero this commanding insult to public decency. Against it tho Instincts nnd prldo of tho peoplo revolt, nnd your prompt nud reso lute notion will gparo thorn tho Ignominy nnd tho shame. "It will do nnothcr thing. It will recall to tho great city of this stato, Inhabited by n mnnly nnd generous nnd enlightened people, tho wholesomo nnd nssurlug truth, now obscured by nngor nnd misconcep tion, for which it will hereafter thank you, that no pnrt of Its material prosper ity, no pnrt of its social nud intellectual nnd industrial progress no part of Its splendid destiny is bound up In un en deavor to hold within its limits ono of tho most disgraceful orgies that ever promised to discredit nud dishonor Texas. "Impelled by a senso of duty to oxert every cxcoutlvo power to divert this calam ity, you havo been cnlled in special session, nnd tho responsibility for tho consequences Is now divided with you. That you will meet It ns becomes tho representatives of tho wholo people, anxious und ready to protect tho fair numo of tho stitto, Is not doubted." As soon ns tho message wns read, In compllnnco with Its command, two bills were introduced in both houses. Tho bills nro Identical. Tho ono intro duced In tho senate by Senator Lewis, of Boxer, nnd tho ono In tho house by Hepro sentntive Wnrd, of Travis, are generally conceded to bo tho monsures of tho admin istration. Tlioy provide that any person engaging in prizo fighting or any pugilis tic encounter shall bo doomed guilty of felony, nnd shall bo punished by an im prisonment of not loss than ono iwr moro than two years. This bill, of courso, has tho cmorgoncy clnuso. Tho other bill, In troduced In tho senate by Senator Simp son, provldos n ponnlty of not less thnn flvo nor moro than ten years, nnd further provides that any ono who In nny mnnner aids or nbets iv light will bo considered a participant, nnd subject to tho above named punishment. Tho cmorgoncy clnuso is also in this bill. Theso bills wcro reforrod to tho judic iary commlttoo in olther house, nnd thoy wero to tnko acttori thoroon yesterday afternoon. Tho Dallas attorneys appeared batons them, however, to ask for furthor time, claiming that thoy could show that tho proposed law was unconstitutional and class legislation, as well as confisca tory. In compliance with their requost both committees adjourned until today, and nothing furthor was dono by either house in the matter. As tho matter now stands It Is a political row between tho frlonds of Governor Cul berson and his present opponents, of which bo has qulto a number In tho legislature. Thero nro ninoty-four membors of tho house present and twonty-four senators. In tho houso It Is nocossary to get clghty bIx votes to mnko tho law go Into immedi ate effect, and twonty-ono votos nre neoos eary In tho sonuto. In tho houso, nt tho present time, thero aro flftoon out and out men against putting nn emorgoncy clnuso in tho bill, while thero nro four who nro doubtful. This puts tho two-thirds vote out of tho question in tho houso with tho present roster. In tho souato thero nro throe against the emergency clause and two doubtful, which places tho bill in se rious danger thero also. If a vote was taken now, with only tho present number prosont, thoro is llttlo doubt that tho omergonoy clnuso would bo defeated. Tho administration forces do not proposo to como to a vote on tho mat ter, howover, until moro of their men ar rive, and thoso absentees uro oxpocted by this evening at tho latest. Tho Dallas peo plo also want a delay to gather additional forces, so ovorybody is plonsed to delay the gnmont present. Lobbying is being in dulged in right and left. May Fight In ileiloo.

Tho borough water works has successfully withstood the lone and continued drouth. while on tho other hand tho supply of most of tltu towns in this section of tho stato has been so low as to causo a gravo fear on tho part Of the peoplo in tho different localities. It is into Hint tho regular supply has been cut down to eight hours each day, yet tho consumers havo always had sullicicnt water for all necessary purposes. Tho curtailment was resorted to to avoid a willful waste of tho precious fluid moro than forany otheETeason, and tho action of tho authorities in this re spect is upheld by all our citizens. Tho supply is now steadily increasing in tho distributing reservoir. On Sunday night there was an nvomgo of twelve Inches in tho dam. Tho regulator was placed in position on that day, and tho presure has been re duced materially. On the east sido of tho regulator, near tho nam, tncro is a pressure of 128 pounds, while on tho other side, lead ing to tho town, tho pressure is reduced to 80 pounds. This reduced pressuro has un doubtedly caused a reduction in tho waste of water through defective hydrants, and will also probably avoid nny further dilliculty at tho intersection of Coal aiid Kmerick streets with tiio pipe lino nt that point. Suico Sunday night tho supply in tho dam has. increased twenty-fivo inches. At that timo thero wns only an average of twelve inches, and last night an inspectioa showed that there were thirty-sovcu inches of water in tho reservoir, and tho supply is. still in creasing. This is certainly gratifying to tho borough authorities who havo exercised great diligence to supply tho consumers, and prohibit a wasteful use on tho part of tho latter. From present indications thero is 110 like lihood of Shenandoah suffering from a water famine, wliilo our neighbors at Mahanoy City wero without water all day yesterday. It is claimed that tho blowing out of six joints oil tho pipo lino leading up tho mouiir tain caused tho stoppage, but tho knowing ones wink the other eye when giving this in formation.

If Acted Upon tho Town Win Hold Its Own Institute and Draw Upon the County Treasury for the Expense-Advantages to be Derived It is moro than probable that the school teachers of this borough will attend tho county institute; nt Pottsville next month for tho last time. Tho reason for this is that thero is 11 well defined movement to have tho local School Hoard take advantage of tho law passed by the Legislature on June 28th, last, whereby tho district may hold its own institute. Tho suggestion has already re ceived surprising favorable endorsement. Tho law referred to provides that it shall be lawful for tho hoard of school directors of any borough which lias elected a superin tendent and employs not less than fifty teachers, by rcsolutioiimt any stated meeting and duly recorded, to authorizo the holding of separate annual teachors' institute for tho Ixirough, nnd in all matters pertaining to tho holding of institutes shall bo in no wise subject to tho authority and jurisdiction of tho superintendent of tho schools of tho county. Tho law also provides that when thu hold ing of soparato annual institutes shall have been authorized as aforesaid, tho superin tendent of the schools of tho borough shall have power to call a teachers' institute aud to draw from the county ticlvwry money for tno support ol tlio same in like manner and to tho sumo extent as the comity superin tendents are now empowered to do. The law also gives tho- Institutes power to elect a committee om permanent certificates In and for the borough ns tho county insti tutes now do. Until quite recently tho passage of this law was known to comparatively very few of tho people interested in tho school tlllhirs of this borough, butsinco tbo subject has In come ventilated tha interest manifested lias been of such a character that after this fall tho Shenandoah school district may divorce herself from the county body and conduct institutes of its own- A Hiiro Cure fur Coughs nnd Colli.
