The House yesterday, for the first time during the session, refused to create a new office— that of State mineralogist, one of the greatest needed in the State. The conversion to an economical policy took place pretty late in the session. The croakers who opposed the build ing of a new market house, and especial ly those who thought it would be a fatal defect to have it two stories high, with a hall on the upper floor, should call a convention (meeting somewhere out d oor 6) and resolve that they were idiots. The public hare already adopted a simi lar resolution— by a large majority. The capitol tire had one good effect. The House yesterday reconsidered the vote by which it had refused to pass the bill for the creation of a capitol fund from the sale of the Kandiyohi capitol lands, and passed it by an almost unani mous vote. The necessity for funds with which to rebuild and repair the State house was more apparent yesterday than It was the day before. Who was the Erostratus that fired this Ephesian dome, is at present a mystery, — Pio neer Press. Erostratus sounds well if a man escapes the lockjaw in pronouncing it, but the right name of the darkey who raised the flag for one dollar a day, was Jefferson Davis Hudson. Furthermore, he was drunk, and had been for six hours when the fire broke out. It is cruel to ruin this poor drunken darkey's reputation forever, by calling him Erostratus. To-dat will close the session of the twenty-second legislature of Minnesota. The day will be one of the busiest and one of the most important in the history of the State. There are over a hundred bills on the flies of the House awaiting final action, many of them being of an exceedingly important nature, involving intemtg that concern people in all sec tions of the State. It is not possible that these bills at their present stage can re ceive the consideration they deserve, acd nearly all of them will be rushed through at high pressure. Some will r.o doubt fail, but the experience of the past leads to the fear that these will not be the worst on file. The careful scrutiny of the gov ernor, however, will probably correct some of the evils of the day's haste. The House yesterday concurred in the Serate bill submitting a constitutional amendment relative to the disposition of the State swamp lands to the people. The bill proposes to devote one-half of the proceeds of the lands when sold, to a permanent fund for the support of com mon schools, and the other half for the support of educational and charitable in stitutions. It wonld have been more sensible if the whole amount had been given to the common schools. As it is, the State university and Normal schools will receive the benefit of half of the pro reeds. If the bill is approved by the governor, and the amendment is adopted by the people, it will put a stop to the scramble of railroad companies to secure possession of these lands, which has en grossed so much of the time of the legis lature of late years. REBUILDING THE CAPITOL. Gov. Pillsbury has given another evi dence of his practical business qualifica tions in the message he sent to the legis lature last evening relative to rebuilding the capitol. He promptly secured the services of an architect who supplies a careful, detailed estimate of the cost of rebuilding upon the present site. This estimate shows that the building can be replaced for a sum not greater than th« cost of an extra ses sion. Contrary to the general expectation on the night of the fire, the walls are found to be still serviceable. The vaults, the sower work, pipes, etc., are practically uninjured. If it were, feasible, a per manent and expensive building would be preferable, but the State is scarcely pre pared to begin such a building as she will ultimately require. The proposed re building will not involve the increase of the tax levy, and will scarcely be felt by the people. It is possible, too, that when the State is able and prepared to expend one" or two millions on a capitol building, a site may be desired where there are more ample grounds, and a sightly posi lion, like that on Wabashaw hill, may be chosen. This very fact should lead the city to secure ample grounds, without delay. to be tendered to the State at the proper time. As the constitution locates the capitolat St. Paul, and for bids any change save by vote of the peo ple, the location is already permanent, but the exact site in the city may be varied according to the judgment of the legislature. Mayor Dawson, City Attorney Murray and Aid. Allen nave acted wisely and in accordance with the wishes of our peo ple in promptly placing the new market bouse at the disposal of the State authori ties. Under the circumstances the ac commodation will be excellent, and ample time can be given for the rebuilding. The bill appropriating $25,000 for rental of offices can be withdrawn and the sum ap plied to building purposes, as the city gives the use of the market house "with out money and without price." Fortunately the records and bills in both houses were saved so completely that an extra session will nut be needed as expected. The very moderate appro priation suggested by the Governor, if made, will remove all necessity for an extra session, and the legislature can con clude its work to-night with but little more difficulty than if the capitoi had not been destroyed. The fact that the extra session would cost about the same as the appropriation asked by the Governor, renders it substantially certain that he will be unanimously endorsed by both branches of the legislature. THE KILLED HOT. The Second Inquest Leaves the Authors of Henry Schiuldllng's Death Unknown— The Fancy of Two Boys -Evidence That the Boy was Not Run Down by Dr. Hand's Sleigh, Rut by a Heavy Bob Sled. As announced yesterday, owing to certain rumors concerning the manner in which the lad Henry Schmidling came to his death, and with the view of adducing all the information possible from what new testimony might be submitted, it was decided to reopen the inquest. This was deemed advisable, especially as a re port was circulated to the effect that a covered sleigh containing Dr. Hand's son, a young sou of Chas. Nii-hols and a driver,had ran into something while driving down Eighth street the" night of the accident. The inquest was reopened at Coroner Davenport's office on West Third street yesterday afternoon. The two lads and the driver were sworn, and while the testimony was somewhat peculiar and con flicting, nothing ef sufficient importance was developed to warrant h change of the former verdict. DAXIEL HBND. Daniel Hand, the first witness called,testified substantially as follows: Am eleven and one half years old; witness and Charley Nichols were driven to a party last Tuesday night; left the Metropolitan hotel a few minutes after 7 o'clock; witness sat on the right side of the cutter; Charley Nichols sat on his lap; started for Dr. Breed's house, Eighth and Neill streets; turned onto Eighth street two or three blocks from the hause. When the sleigh turned the corner witness thought he saw a shadow or piece of cloth; thought it was on the right side; Charley 6aid I think we've run over someone; witness said "he guessed not;" witness got up and looked out the rear of the cutter; didn't see any one; Willis, the driver, turned the corner very slowly; when Charley made the remark, Willis said it must have been a shadow. At the party Charley told a little girl that he thought they had run over some one; had not felt any jar of the cutter; had not seen any body; didn't think there was anything to it; only 6aw a shadow; didn't see a lamp post on the corner; it was on the corner of Seventh street where the shadow was seen in turning. DX. HAND. Have a driver by the name of Willis Gurnev; he drove the boys to a party last Tuesday, a week ago; he is a careful and reliable driver; he sometimes provoked witness by driving too slow. Witness then alluded to a conversation with the boys the day after the party; he had ques tioned the boys and the driverfthe son of wit ness alluded to seeing the shadow near the 3leigh; witness had traced the course by the vehicle the night of the accident; it was pos sible that the boy might have caught on to the cutter at Seventh and Olive streets for a ride. CHARLES XICnOLS. Witness first alluded to the drive down town; loft the hotel ten or fifteen minutes after 7 o'clock; went out Washington to Seventh and down Seventh street to one or two blocks this side of the street car tracks; t hen turned into Eighth street; when the cutter turned ofi' Seventh street witness thought he saw some thing; the cutter ploughed in turning the corner andthe horse thied; thought a boy had been seen on the rifiht hand side of the en tter; witness said he thought they had rurt" over a boy; the ' driv r said it was a shadow; thought Dan looked back; the horse was Soin£ at a common trot; at the party a little S,irl had told witness a boy had been run over; witness replied he thought they had run over someone, the girl spoke to witness first; wit ness had spoken about it to Sam Breed; if struck at all, it was by the right hand run ner; had not felt any jar; a man stood on the corner in the direction from which the boy ran; in turning Eighth street,a lady stopped at the crossing to let them go by. WILLIS GURNEY, the driver, testified as follows: Have been a driver in the employ of Dr. Hand for nine mouths; Tuesday evening a w«:ek ago drove the boys to Mr. Breed's residence on Eighth street; left the Metropolitan hotel about 7 o'clock; drove down Washington street to Seventh street; tnrned into Eighth street two or three blocks; went on the street car track; a man stood on the corner were they turne;! off; after turning the boys exclaimed: "Wil lis, what was that, did you see that;" witness replied, it must be a shadow; witness didn't remember of seeing the boys look back; the cutter sloughed in turning the corner; turned the corner very slowly; the sleigh ran very smoothly; on 'the way home Charley Nichols said that he had told the folks that they had ran over a man; drove down on the right hand side of the track on Eighth street; would have seen the boy had he ran in front of the cutter; was driving on a walk and was positive that he had not run over anyone, would swear to it; it was a top-covered sieigh. Supt. Walsh testified that he had examined the tracks in the snow and they were very wide and clearly defined, indicating that they had been made by heavy bob runners instead of a bleigh. Witness also alluded to the position of the lad when found; his head was towards lower town; witness thought if the lad had been dragged his head would have inclined the other way. The jury then visited Dr. Hand's barn and inspected the cutter. After a short deliberation the jury returned the following: THE VERDICT. The jurors upon their oath do say that they are unable to render any other verdict from that previously rendered on the 23d day of February, no sufficient new evidence being ad duced to justify any change in said verdict.

SENATE. The Sanate having met at the ruins of the capitol, and adjourned to meet at the St. Paul Market house at 11 o'clock, at that hour busi ness was commenced and prosecuted during three sessions, morning, afternoon and even ing, with the alacrity incident to the closing hours of the session. Two or three additional clerks were employed at the secretary's desk, and the making of laws was greatly facilitated thereby. A noisy crowd in the lobby consid erably interfered with deliberations, and the mob was no sooner quieted or dispersed, than it was replaced by another. Notwithstanding the haste, bills appearea to be acted upon un dcrstandiugly. Routine Report.

Considering the haste with which the nembers of the House dispersed on Tues iay evening, and the trying ordeal through which many of them passed, they got together yesterday morning in tolerably good condition. They were lomewhat "rattled," however, and it took jome time before they could be brought down to business. Each had an experi ence to relate to his associates, and the hum of conversation was continuous, rendering the transaction of business almost impossible. The hasty flitting had left things in a disorganized condi tion. There was a doubt as to the proper course of proceedure, and it was some time before matters were straightened out. It was not until afternoon that even the semblance of order was reached^ Among the important bills considered was that exempting from the provisions of the Merrill text book law all independent school districts in the State. Itwas^ amended so as to exempt all classes of schools and shcool districts, and passed by a vote of 62 to 25. Two swamp land bills M-ere knocked out of time. That for four sections to the Minneapolis & Southwestern road was defeated by direct vote, and that for the St. Paul & »Dubuque road was loaded with amend ments that were fatal to it, and referred to Mr. Kueeland. At the evening session a en deavor was made to dispose of the accu mulation of Dills, and Senate bills by the score were read a first and second times. During the evening quite a number of Senate bills were passed, and the governor's message upon the burning of the capitol was read. There was a good deal of discussion on the resolution directing suit to be com menced against the Sioux City road for neglecting to complete their line to Shak opee, and regarding two or three other matters of minor importance. When the Senate joint resolution declaring that no joint committee should be permitted to sit during the recess came up for concur rence, Mr. Collins moved to except the com mittee to investigate the charges of sectarian ism in the normal school at St. Cloud, and contended earnestly for hi^ posi tion so that the school might be relieved from the slurs cast upon it or the charges proved. The amendment was adopted, and an appropri ation of §200 was voted to pay the expenses of the committee. A bill appropriating $61,000 for rebuilding the capitol was introduced by Mr. Wilson and referred to the finance com mittee, from which it will no doubt receive a favorable report this morning and be passed immediately. Senator Buck's bankrupt bill was referred to the judiciary committee. Routine Report. The House met at 10 a. m., Speaker Fletcher in the chair. Prayer by the chaplain, Rev. Dr. Wright. After brief discussion as to the proper order of business, Mr. Sanborn offered a bill author izing the governor to provide suitable quarters for the accommodation of the State officers until the meeting of the next session of the legislature, and appropriating $25,000 to pro vide for the expenses of the same. The concurrent resolution of the Senate providing for adjournment till 11 o'clock, and reassembling in the new Market Hall, was presented and adopted. On reassembling the bill offered by Mr. San born was read the first, second and third times, and passed under suspension of the rules. The House then went into committee of the whole, Mr. Denny in the chair, on business on the clerk's desk On motion speeches were limited to five minutes each for the first time, and one minute for each subsequent utterance. A long discussion took place on the bill to exempt Independent school districts from the j operations of the Merrill text book law. It j was amended by Mr. Allen so as to exempt graded schools, and by Mr. Dunn so as to exempt all common school districts, and re commended for passage. The bill granting four sections of swamp land per mile to aid a railroad from Minneapo lis to Hutchinson and the Dakota line, was recommended for passage by a vote of 40 to 39. The bill granting swamp lands in aid of the St. Paul <fc Dubuque railroad company was discussed at length, loaded down with amend ments, and finally recommended to be referred to Mr. Kneeland for revision and amendment. After disposing of a number of other bills not of general Interest the committee rose and the House took a recess till 3 o'clock p. m. Afternoon Session. The House re-convened at 3 p. m. Mr. Wilson offered a resolution directing the money received for insurance on the State library to be paid over to the judges of the su preme court, to be expended by them in the purchase of books for the State library. Car ried. A warrant of $25 was ordered drawn in fa vor of the eergeant-at-arms for exepnses in curred in serving subpoenas upon witnesses in the State Insane hospital inquiry, and the sec retary of state was directed to replace the leg islative manuals destroyed by the fire.

The Coming Floods on the Missouri—Snow Storm on the St. Faul & Duluch—Heavy Wheeling in the Xorthwest--The Omaha Line Ahead this Time. Reports by telegraph, received at Northern Pacific headquarters yesterday, are that for three days a thawing temperature has prevail ed at Missoula, Helena and Ft. Keogh. The Tongue and Powder rivers are breaking up, and the usual spring floods may bo expected to come within a week on the Yellowstone, and at the head waters of the Missouri. But it is, nevertheless, hoped that the ice will re main firm at Bismarck for some time longer, until the railroad men are ready for the open ing of the river. The situation on the St. Paul & Sioux City line is unchanged. At the Summit of the St. Paul & Duluth railroad Tuesday night and yesterday morn ing, about a foot of snow fell, and the track from there 1o Duluth, about forty miles, was well covered, with a fierce northeaster pre vailing. But with light trains, and two or three engines attached to each, all trains of the day were being pulled through, and Super intendent Smith felt confident that the road's record of the seasou, of not losing a mail or passenger train, would not be broken. Trains on the Northern Pacific road were yesterday afternoon reported but little delayed. Snow fell Tuesday night all along the" St. Vincent branch of the St. Paul and Manitoba road, .about two inches deep, and some wind prevailed, making the wheeling heavy and de laying trains. The train which left St. Vin cent for St. Paul Tuesday came in I ist evening about eight and a half hours late, bnt the St. Paul train of Tuosday for St. Vincent had lost only half an hour in the run to Glyndon. On the Breckcnridge line and Fargo branch, there was no trouble. The Grand Forks branch was open to Hill City, but the Morris and Brown's Valley branch remained closed. The weather generally on both the main lines was yesterday afternoon cloudy and cool. Col. Newport, of the Northern Pacific, ar rived hoiiK: yesterday by the M. & St. P. train, on which he was ice-bound through Monday. Until yesterday St. Paul had had no eastern mail since Sunday morning. But yesterday three delayed mails came in ov&r the river division of the Milwaukee and St. Paul rail way, and the regular running of through trains was resmiied on that road. The Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis line now claims the name of "old reliable," hav ing lost but one train during the late unpleas antness, while the M. & St. P. through trains were practically suspended for two days. "The Objectionable Word." To the Editor of the Globe. In reply to the criticism of yesterday's cor respondent, "Cathojic," allow me promptly to say that the word "Roraanish," which to him and others might justly be deemed ob jectionable, was not used by me, and is not in the text of my manuscript. In advocating on general and special grounds what I believed to be for the best interests of our city as a whole, I greatly regret if I have seemed to this inquirer and those sharing his faith, as chargeable with discourtesy or guilty of in sinuations. I endeavored to be candid, and cousiderate towards all holding different views from my own, and aimed to treat their Fcruples and princicipled objections with the respect due. The obnoxious term is the result of the misprint, and so obviously 60, that I supposed no one would be mislead by it, but would in fer that it should read, "Roman. " Yours, March 2, 1881. M. McG.

Hegeman's Cn.rnphor Ice is also a cure for sore Hps, chapped face, and sunburn. It is compounded with glycerine, which ren ders it more emollient than any other Camphor Ice, and it will be found a most soothing ap plication to the face alter shaving. Be surf to ask for Hegc-man's (formerly made by HegfcoMn .fe Co., New York, and now made l iy the Metropolitan Med. Co., of New Haven, Conn.), and do not be put off with any other compound which may become rancid and do you more harm than good. Hegeman'e Camphor Ice never fails. AFTER THE STORM.

Eastern and European Markets. New York, March 2.— Money at 6 per cent, per annum and 1-32 per cent, per diem, closing at 2 per cent, per annum; very little legitimate business below 6 per cent. Prime mercantile paper 4K@6 per cent. Sterling exchange, bankers' bills steady at $4.79^ . Sight exchange on New York at $4.52. Governments strong and higher for all ex cept 4s, which are unchanged. Bonds — In the railroad bond market New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio income advanced to 65% from 63)£; Lake Erie & Western firsts to 107% from 106; St. Louis & Iron Mountain first preferred incomes to 93% from 92; Texas & Pacific firsts, Rio Grande division, to 98 from 97; Mobile & Ohio first debentures to 82 from 81, and New Jersey Central adjustment sevens to 110 from 109. St. Louis & Iron Mountain second incomes dec-lined to 85 from S7; Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul firsts, lowa & Dakota division, to 122^ from 124%; do Hastings & Dakota division to 116 X from 118, and International & Great Northern second incomes to 91 from 92. State securities moderately active. Stocks — The stock market opened irregular, but soon became weak and nominal and the list declined )i (a.'6 per cent., while Hannibal & St. Joe preferred fell off 4J^ per cent. At the. first board Nashville, Chattanooga <fe St. Louis, which had early declined 3 per cent., advanced 5 per cent , reacted 3}£ per cent. , recovered 2)4 per cent., and -closed at a recovery of 2 per cent. During the afternoon speculation was somewhat irregular, the lluctuatioas being comparatively slight, but in the late dealings a firmer tone prevailed and the market closed at a recovery of )4®L% per cent., in which Can ada Southern, Hannibal <fc St. Joe, St. Louis & Iron Mountain, Delaware & Hudson, Philadel phia & Reading and Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul were conspicuous. Hannibal & St. Jce common sold down to 51, seller 61, and pre ferred to 95.5* , seller 60, because doubt was ex pressed of the ability of the company to pay a .dividend on preferred stock for the first six months of 1881, and in view of the largely de creased earnings and cost of yesterday's acci dents. The Evening Post says: Money is fairly active. The highest rate stock brokers are paying is 6 per cent., plus 1-16 of 1 per cent, per day, and the lowest 6 per cent. Money Jent for 60 days on United States honds at 6 per cent., and on choice railroad stocks for six months at 6 per cent Very little mercantile paper moving. The amount of lawful money which the United States treasury has taken into its vaults from the bank rescrv# since a week ago Saturday is now over $17,000,000. The amount paid out for bonds bought on in vitation to sell $35,000,000 to the treasury is less than $6,000,000, so that bunk reserves here and throughout the country have been de pleted to the amount of something over $11,000,000 siuce the raid on the banks began. The future of the money market, at least un til the middle of April, may be said largely to depend upon whether this amount of money is restored in the early future to the reserves of the banks. The sub-treasury has not suc ceeded thus far to-day in buying any 5 or 6 per cent, bonds. The amount of lawful money which the sub-treasury has takes in to-day for the withdrawal of bank note circulation is £43,000. Many rumors arc current here to the effect that several millions of lawful money are held here to be turned into the treasury for account out of town banks, if word comes that the refunding bill has been passed by Congress. We have been unable to ascertain what foundation for these ru mors there is. The stringency didn't iast long enough to spread to other cities, and there, as here, legitimate dealings werelnrgely increased in the exchanges at every city ex cept one. The largeness of the increase at Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and some other cities, and the fact that the exchanges result from dealings at a considerably lower range of prices than was seen at this time List year, in dicate that the expansion of the quantities of products exchanged has been great. The fol lowing shows the amount of exchanges at San Francisco for the week ending February 19, and other cities for the week ending Feb ruarv26: New York, $1,143,978,546; Boston, $71,980,430; Philadelphia, §51,980,430; Chi cago, $28,007,807; New Orleans, $14,258,598; Cincinnati, $13,155,600; 8a1tim0re, 512,890,133; St. Louis, $12,100,557; San Francisco, $9,651, --043; Louisville, $5,718,310; Pittsburgh, $6,009, --024; Milwaukee, $409,355; Providence, $3,312, --600; Kansas City, $2,162,001); Indianapolis, $2,050,184; Cleveland, $1,141,553; New Haven, $893,738; Lowell, $393,172; Syracuse, $300,714-.
