2 ST. PAWS. THE WORK RESUMED. Senator Clark's Sn^cstive Hill Rela- j tive to Taxing Railroad Lands. A Civil Rights Bill to Protect the African Brethren. Two More Railroad Bills Fired off In the llou-e by way of Variety. SENATE. The senate convened at 10 o'clock yester day morning, and Senator Goodrich, presi- j deut jrro tempore, again presided. The chap- j laiu was again in his place, and the good re- i suits cf his petition were very soon made , apparent, for Senator Langdon. who has j long looked as though he needed th° benefit j of prayer, was so softened in his nature by | the devotional •exercises, as to present a: memorial asking that the gentler sex be al lowed to vote. Senator Cora stock also seemed to bave been similarly affected, because he '. presented a petition asking that the liquor question be submitted to a vote of the people of the state. But the senator's petition was : rather rough ou the boys of a convivial turn Of mind, for it proposes to make them live j six months instead of ten days in an election precinct before they are allowed to vote upon i the question, because it would shut out any schemes of colonization. Senator Clarke seems to be ably seconding the efforts of Senator Wilson to bring the large tracts of unoccupied railroad lands,now ; untaxed, within the assessor's grasp—for he ■ adroitly calls public attention to those lands | by introducing a bill to re-imburse the coun- j ties iu which they are situate for the excess ] of taxes they have had to pay on account of j their not Mag taxed. In committee of the whole, the senate had a lengthy session, a good share of the time <>f which was consumed in discussing Senator O'Brien's bill, reducing the number of per- • emptory challenge, to seven,which a defend ant ia a criminal action is permitted to make. It appears to be a meritorious mess ure, and is intended to keep professional Bt of tbe jury box. Attempts were amend the bill, but his friends car ried it through aud secured a recommeuda tion that ;t | The same committee reported favorably Bator Doran's bill forbidding eom ptrades from combining t / control the price of grain after it had been amended ao aa to Inflict imprisonment as . tine upon violators of its provisions. The bill is intended to reach the combina tion of wheat dealers with millers' associa li.ins aad elevator companies to fleece the farmers. The legislative committees wil! visit the state reform school to-day, so Senator Hall announced at the close of the session this mora lag. The senate will meet this morning at 10 o'clock.

Tbe bill of Mr. Griffin proposes to allow women of the age of twenty-one years, to vote for school superintendents. Hon. R. A. Smith yesterday Introduced a bill for fixing the salary of the treas urer of Ramsey county. It pro vides tbat such officer shall be allowed one percent, upon the first $000,000 received by him, aud oue-half of one percent, upon the excess of that sum, and that he shall receive no other or greater compensation, or for clerk hire or assistants. The bill was re ferred to the Ramsey county delegation. The bill of Mr. litis, of Carver county, re lating to school officers, recites that any per son elected a school director, treasurer or clerk, or member of a board of edaeatloe, shall neglect or refuse to enter upon and perform the duties of his office, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a fine of uot less than $50 nor more than ?100, together with imprisonment in the county jail. Mr. Hendrickson's bill relating to the dis tribo-on of property of debtors among cred itors, provides tliat in cases whore fraud is proven ou the part of the debtor in the dis position of property upon which creditors held a valid claim, such debtor shall not be entitled to a full release from his indebted aeee iu the bankruptcy liquidation that may be had. Mr. Stephens desires to except Washing ton county from the present law relating to partitlou fences, and has introduced a bill to th:d effect. Work rather than talk has been the rule with the present body thus far during the session. If the rule should be continued to the end it should make a good record for It self in oue direction at leant. The railroad committee met immediately after the noon adjournment—remaining in session—and again last evening, at which sessions the general details of the bill the committee bas decided to report as a substi tute for all that have been introduced in the house were agreed upon. In general, the substitute is the commissioner system of Massachusetts aud Iliiuois, with more of the latter than the former in Its provisions for preveating and punishing discrimination and in its restrictive and regulative clauses generally. As agreed upon, the board of railroad commissioners is to consist of throe members. The first board is to consist of Gen. Baker, present commissioner by virtue of election under the preseut law and two appointees by the governor, to hold until the general election of lsi,,i, when their successors are to be elected bgr the state at large, oue to hold office for two years and the two others for four year-, the terms of office for all there alter to be foar years, by which means the board will always contain at least one mem ber who has hud a practical connection with the duties of the office for two years. It is understood that the committee now expect the bill will be unanimously reported, and tliat it will probably be reported Thursday. Routine Re port.

VISIT TO REFORM SCHOOL. Dr. Murphy, chairman of the committee on reform school, extended an invitation to members to accompany the committee on a visit to the school at 3 p. m., and to allow the acceptance of such Invitatiou moved the house adjourn, which moliou prevailed. REFORM SCHOOL. The Animal Visit by the Legislative Committees Yesterday. Yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, the com mittees on reform school of the two houses of the legislature paid a visit to that institu tion. Tbe committees were accompanied by a large number of the members of both houses, who desired to see and note for themselves the workings of this very excel lent institution of which thev had heard so much. The trip was make in covered sleighs, the start being made from the capi tol. The drive occupied about half an hour. Arriving, the visitors were met by Superintendent Riheldeffer and assistants. After a few minutes in greetings tiie visitors were escorted through the school rooms, donatories, dining rooms, kitchen, store rooms and shotis. The rooms, as is always the case, were the perfection of neatness, and elicited the most complimen tary expressions from all. The shops proved not only a great attraction, but a genuine surprise, very few of the visitors having the faintest conception that this annex to the in stitution was of the size, completeness and importance it ls. In one de partment they found a score or more of boys from twelve to eighteen years of age, engaged with the most improved machinery, under the direction of a com petent foreman or superintendent, in fashioning parts of the small wagons and sleds.of which many thousand dollars worth are manufactured annually. Desks and other articles requiring more skilled workmanship are also turned out in tbis department. The word work has to be painted of course and the lettering and fancy work of ooe of the boys attracted much attention from tiie originality of design shown and excellence of execution. In another department the manufacture of the most useful articles of tinware is carried ou quite extensively. All the young workmen appeared to take a real interest in their work and to be desirous of perfecting themselves in it. From the shops the visitors returned to the general school room for boys, where they were gathered. The mem bers sealed, Mr. Ingersoll, president of the board of managers, and Beaator Billson.and Dr. Murphy, of the house com mittee, were invited to seats on the platform. The school then sang, accompa nied by the organ. '"While the Leaves are Goiug By,'' speaking the words distinctly aud rendering tbe music very creditably. Superintendent Riheldeffer then briefly wel comed the visitors, sayiug he was giad to see I i many of them present to see for theau -Ives what the school is doing. He was followed in brief remarks by Senators Billsou and Goodrich and Representative Murphy, who complimented the boy. on their appearance, pointing out the ad vantages the school offered for secorlag a _ ... i education for the mind and body,and urging tlicui to Improve the same, so that when the time came for liiem to go out iuto the world they would be tilted and ready to take their places in the general walks of life, and fill the same to thu credit of themselves and the state which was Irung to do SO inuih for tbem. The talks were Beeeuarfry brief, and nt the conclusion tin' visitors were invited by Sup". Rtbedeffer to break bread with him, for which an adjournment was bad to his residence apirtments, where a most palatable lunch was spread, consist ing of ico—oped oystera,eold turkey and bam, tea and coffee, aad lee cream aad cake. Jus tice .lone to tiiis featar ■ tbe visitors r turned more than pleased with what tbey bad seen. The school now has 180 bpyi and Bfteefl girls as occupants, which nuiutu r cjIIs into economical use all the room provided, and it Is probable the pr iture will be called upon for a small appropri ation to provide the ti facilities for meeting the demauds that ar.- m.i'le Bpoa it. The need for euchan institution, and the real bcnelits it is con ferriiiL'. is no loafer problematic al. Both have been demonstrated by ■ iperieaOC, and it is not probable that .nylliin. will undone by the state to enable the managers p the Institution In the future, as in .n tin' fore rank of progress.

Mr. -F , the . j farmers of ttia state wnald eoosilrr this a . geaerons offer aad aiaety-aioe oat of every hundred of them would favor Its acceptance. It would redound to the glory of the society and the state, and he hoped it would be unanimously accepted. Mr. C. II. Chadbourne, of Rochester, said he did not desire to detract from the princely offer of Ramsey county, but he had promised his people to offer free use ot the eighty acres of laud used for the Olmsted county fair at Rochester. He did not expect the society, under the circumstances, to accept it, aud,in fact, he did not advise its aeceptauce. He thought a fair could he held In Ramsey couuty that would do the society proud, and he hoped the proposition would be accepted. Mr. Frank Gilford, of Shakopee, said his couuty had authorized him to offer 160 acres of land within the corporate limits of Shako- i pee, between the tracks of the Chicago, Mil waukee <fc St. Paul and Omaha roads, and wpuld donate $15,0|p besides. He did not expect, however, tuft the proposition would be considered when the Ramsey county poor farm could be secured. Mr. M. S. Converse, of Becker county,said his county would donate the society as much land as it wanted on the shores of Detroit lake. He said he made the offer to show that northern Minnesota was deeply inter ested in the subject. Upon motion of Mr. Harris, the proposition made by the Ramsey county commissioners was accepted unanimously, but tho chair, Mr- i Clark VS. Thompson, said he was in doubt as to the vote, and asked that the members of the society favoring the proposition stand up and hold up their hands, and they all did, the result being a very picturesque scene, and they sat dowu amid thundering ap plause. Gen. Baker was called for, and he came forward and said he was wholly unprepared to make any remarks to this golden hour of Minnesota's agricultural history, but he was never surprised at the magnanimity of Ram sey county. It was one of the characteristics of'its people. Tbe general then recounted his connection with the original society, the early fairs at Fort Snelling, and the eloquent addresses delivered there by Horace Greeley aud Casslus M. Clay. He then pictured in his miud's eye the fair that would be built up at the poor farm in the next decade, and closed by saying that he had no special words by which to express the deep and profound sentiments of gratitude felt bv the society for the gift. Mayor O'Brien said the county commis sioners felt highly honored by their reception at tbe hands of the society, and said they would depart and leave the organization to proceed with its business. Mr. Trumau Smith, of St. Paul, moved that the committee that negotiated for the donation of the poor farm be continued for the purpose of drawing tbe necessary papers and completing tbe transfer. The motion was carried. The committee is as follows: N. P. Clark, Clark W. Thompson, John F. Norrish, John L. Stevens and C. A. DeGraff. Upon motion this committee was also given power, with the officers of the society, to ask the legislature for a suflicient appropriation for bulldiugs.

When tbe case of George Hoster, the young man who cabbaged a couple of hun dred dollars worth of trinkets from Myers & Finch, and who bas giveu collateral for twice the amount, was called in the police court yesterday, County Attorney Egan said that the counsel for the accused had requested a continuance. Mr. Cornish explained that his witness, Mr. Myers, was not present and by mutual consent the hearing was continued for a week. It is understood, en passant, that Softer had been employed by the linn and that he was to go to work on February lst; meantime, however, he was helping them out and re ceived no salary for his labor. The moral is obvious. The case of Mike McCarthy, the bold boy burglar, came up on a continuance. Mike is the seventeen-year-old desperado who borglarised the reatdeaee of Mrs. Loveriog, *n Cedar street, a tew wights ago, and who cot awav with an own oat. 11 •• was held to the grand jury aud committed iu default of bail.

Artlnir Rogers Replied, Explaining: How the Trust was Created ami Why. An Effort to Care for a Trust Fund Instead of a Conspiracy to Defraud. To the Editor of the Globe.: The statement made in the newspapers purporting to come from Mrs. Rogers, my late brother's wife, are a tissue of falsehood from beginning to end. There is not a word of truth in any of the allegations of her com plaint, and the whole matter is no doubt the work of hungry and mischief maklug rela tives which Mrs. Rogers is unfortunate enough to have as her advisers. The facts in the case are these: My brother Frauk had been sick for some time and It was finally recognized by his physicians as well as by his relatives and friends that his recovery was hardly to be hoped for. Every other means of helping him having failed it was determined as a last effort to send him for treatment to the medical springs at Carl stat, Bohemia. This course was adopted by the united con sent of his wife,his physician aud his friends. During all the time while he was here and indeed up to the time of his death he was in full possession of all his faculties as he was in bis life and during the last days before his departure he arranged his affairs with greater ears than he ever exercised before. When It was determined that he should go away, he became anxious to arrange his afiairs here with a view to his possible death, and for that purpose he and I called upon Mr. John i D. O'Brien, of the law firm of O'Brien. Eller & O'Brien, who had for a lonz time been his leiral adviser as well r.s miue. My brother wished to dispose of his life insurance, $10, 000,sothat part of it would go to his wife aud thg balance be divided between his two children when they should come of age; un til they became of age his wife was to have the income of the children's share,which was to be held and invested by tnistees. Mr. O'Brien said that this arrangement could uot be made by a will of my brothers because as the policies were made payable to Mrs. Rogers her consent to ttiis disposition of the fund would be uecessary. At his suggestion my brother went home and explained this matter to his wife and she expressed her willingness to the arrangement, and there upon this agreement was drawn and signed by her: Whkkeas, Frank W. Rogers has heretofore Obtained, and now holds, a policy of insur ance upon the life of him, the said Frank W. Rogers, in the Equitable Life Assurance so ciety of the Uuited States, which said policy is uumbered 246503, aud H payable to his wife, Elizabeth A. Rogers, if living, at the time of the death of said Frauk VS. Rogers; and W-tKRB-S, The said Frank W. Rogers is also a member of the Northwestern Travel ing Men's association, aud is entitled to cer tain moneys, benefits aud iusurauce therein payable in case of death,to his said wife; now There/ore, In consideration that the said Frank VS. Soger, will,and does continue to, nay the premium upon said policy,and tbe dues and premiums coming due tosaid North western Traveling Men's association, aud of the love and affection existing between ElUs abetli A. Sogers and the said Frank VV. Sogers, the parties agree that if any loss should accrue uoou said policy, or any money come due thereon, or from said association, the same less the sum of fifteen hundred dol lars, which may be paid to, and retained, by said Elizabeth A. Sogers, shall be paid oyer to Arthur 11. Rogers and Rohert C. Juuk, as trustees for the benefit of such children of the said parties hereto as shall be then living.l'ro vided tbst the ssl J moneys shall be invested by said trustees in some safe and profitable manner, and while so held by them the in terest upon sahi moneys, or such portion thereof as shall he held by them, snail be paid annually to the said Elizabeth A. Bog eta as long as she lives, or unless a part or the wiiole of said fund shall be paid over to the said children SI hereinafter stated, that IS to say. Hint as soon as any child is paid its snare as bereloalter .stated, tbe said Elizabeth A. Sogers shall receive only tbe income or interest derived from the balance remaining in the hands of said trustees, aud as soon as each child shall attain its majority its share Of said fund shall be paid over to it by said trustees, together with any accumulations,or it« share of any accumulations,unpaid to said Elizabeth A. Sogers bj reason ol ber death. Iu case any of said children shall die he fore attaining their majority, their share shall be, by said trustees, paid over to the heirs of said child so dying. Tht said trustees may use such portion of said fund as tbey deem pro;>"r, from time to time, for the support, maintenance or educa tion of saiil children, except that no more than the share of either of .said children shall be used for auy one of said children.

Ui.— oulibr brown nmniAL CO. biltisoee. ?a . . .A quently a brother-in-law of her's called, and while he expressed himself as satisfied with the terms of the agreement, he thought it was not right that Mrs. Rogers should have ouly a life estate in the homestead. I told him that While I thought the arrangement made in regard to the matter was a wise one and one that was dictated by the very best intentions, yet if there was any objection by any one, would advise Mrs. lingers to sub mit the whole mutter to any court, or pudge without a trial, and to resign his position as trustee if tho decision was adverse, and have another appointed in his stead. The idea of .Mrs. Sogers being unprovided for is an absurdity. She has a life esate in a horastead worth $4,500, which she can rent for $30 per month. Besides this there are $1,000 in cash in Arthur Rogers' hands. Tbe agreement gives her $1,500 in cash at once and the interest on $10,000 until the children become of age, The education and support of the children is also provided for by tuis agreement, so that out • of all tiie money she has no one to support but herself. Tne wisdom of this agreement consists in placing this fund in the hands of responsible persons who are capable of investing it to the best advantage, and giving a proper and reasonable share of it to Mrs. Rogers without leaving the children's rights unprovided for. No two more fitting persons could be sug gested than Mr. Rogers and Mr Junk, who are both persons of responsibility aud great business sagacity, which is recognized by the best business men of the state. Mr. Arthur Rogers has for many years held the most responsible position iu one of the most prominent business houses in St. Paul, and the feeling between his brother and himself was always one of re markable affection. Mr. Juuk was a play mate of Frank Rogers when tiiey were chil dren in Ireland, ami they were intimate friends up to the time of his death. .Mr. Junk is also widely known by the merchants of this state. Although I have not known Mrs. Rogers intimately, I have always believed her to be a respectable and well meaning lady, and I believe that if she was fully iu formed of the contents of the complaint she would never have signed it. -The complaint is a horrible and false distortion of a well and kindly conceived plan for the benefit of herself and her children.
