IMPORTANT BILL. Perlinos the most Important bill pass? ed at the day's sessions was House bill SOI. from the consideration of which the committee ivas discharged. This is the cotnmlttee bill framed by tlie House Com? mittee und which, 11 u Senator had read evtfn. It relates' tV*1"' election of Stato, county and distrMct Officers. Mr. Barksdale inquired If any Senator had read the bill and could say what it contained, and on boin? informed that none had. he demanded that the hill be read at length. This was done and con? sumed considerable timo. Mr, Barksdale sought to amend the provision in the bill for the appointment tid Interim of an attorney-general in tlie event of a vacancy In that office, sug? gesting that the Court of Appeals choose the attorney-general. Mr. Wlckhnm protested that the bill merely re-enacted the present provision, which had been in force for year?. This aroused Mr. Barksdale to a vehement, Impetuous and Impassioned appeal for some other method, in tlie course of which he criticized the sticklers for precedent. The amendment was defeated without division, and Mr, Barksdale did not fur? ther contest tin.?-proposition. OTHER BILLS PASSED. .

Mr. Claytor stated In tho be-glnnlne that he now had an opportunity of can? ing thoso of his fellow-members who had antagonized his bills and made him tho target for the merriment of his fellow senators occasionally." He would cane the gentleman from Orange because he sel? dom looked' pleased except when he (the speaker) had voted for one of hla meas? ures, Colonel Willnrd, tha presiding of? ficer, shouTd have two canes for the rea? son that It was currently reported that ho aspired to rise higher than his present ofllce. If ho found that two were not needed he might givo one to some of,' his friends. Colonel Button, the efliclc-nt clerk, was now getting old nnd was ?'.111 a bachelor starling down tho hill of life. Ho? would need a cane to lean upon In his descent. The sergeant-at-arms and tho doorkeep? er needed good, stout sticks for they la? bored hard to keep order In the.-re clos? ing dayB and showed signs of fatigue. Furthermore, they had no free passes, had spent all their money and would havo to walk home and so would Hnd a cane very helpful. Tho senator from Hal? ifax would need one to proteot him from the wrath of his constituents when he got home, for he had made so many speech? es that he had not given his fellow-mem? bers a chance. Mr. Gunter he would tame because though a new member ho had talked Incessantly, monopolizing the attention of the Senate, This sally provoked gre&t laughter for the reason that Mr. Gunter has thus far had nothing to say, except to vote when his name was called. In this way the Bedford senator made happy hits at many of the senators. For an extempo? raneous hit of speaking, U could hardly have been happier, and tho speaker was warmly complimented. fjfpjr. . ji T? The?; i VIA NORFOLK AND WESTERN RY. Leave?

THE GAME IS MARRED Kicking Spoils the First Play of the Season. PETERSBURG IS WINNER The Game Somewhat In the Nature of a Gift to Prevent Endless Dispute. The Playing Good on Bolh Sides. . When Mayor Taylor tossed tho first ball over the pan at Broad Street Park yesterday in the Initial game of tho sea? son between Richmond nnd Petersburg, faiidom went wild with excitement, for thoy tintlcpated a battle royi.l and a contest between sportsmen. But ere two innings? had been played out tholr cher? ished hopes had been dashed hy thn dis? putatious disposition of CSptaln Brock well, of tho Petersburg tonni. Overlook? ing this fact, ' the game wns quito excit? ing and deeply interesting, resulting ln a victory for tlio visitors by a score of 7 to 5. In reality, the result was nothing loss than a gift on the part of Captain Hicks, of the Richmond club, who, nitlior than squabble, submitted lo a number c? : claims made bv Brockwel'. THREATENED TO QUIT, Tho contest should havo been forfeited to Richmond In tho fourth Inning, when Brockwell culled hie mon off the Hold nnd threatenc;_ to go home. Ho was roundly .leered and hissed for thin net. Over 1,200 people had gone to the park to witness tlio gamo and enjoy tho Inau? guration of. the professional nenson. They oame away disgusted with what they :h__ witnessed, nnd a tow moro such trlok?. b.v any team will queer the g.itr.o for good nnd r.H In Rlcl?i,ii'id. ?But the game: Tho playing was? fust and dandy, th.

Then Hicks was given a. base on balls, which seemed rjulte right t'o'overy one except Sir. Brockwell, who ?was in no position to pea the pan accu? rately. He declared that unleg?
