Legislative Incidentals in the Senate Portrait
The Indiana American portrays Senator Carnahan as a marked man of the Senate, oldest and best looking, aloof from groups, precise at his desk, and brief in debate. He votes with a sharp, minimal manner, while remaining Democratic yet aristocratic in spirit, contrasted with Senator Williams of Knox as the sociable, genial, and anti Democratic opposite.

New Law Extends Rail Completion Time for Consolidated Firms
The governor approved enrolled act No. 79 to extend deadlines for railroads that consolidate with a foreign company within three years of incorporation. The new joint stock firm must invest at least $50,000 in this state within two years, excluding salaries, to qualify, granting five years to finish the road in state. A big law takes effect. A traveling piano-player attacked an Illinois editor and lost an ear for music.
