In preparing the testimony in tho At

cred so much additional evidence OF the corrup-
tion In the City Hall that some OF the influential
members thought 1t beet TO couple tho civil suits
With criminal prosecutions. and this plan is un-
der advisement. At a meeting OF the assocla-
ton to consider the subject, It was announced
there that sufflclent testimony had bcen collect
ed to indict Fowler six times, and Mr. John Il.
Parsons, the Attorney Generals deputy, was
called In to advise. lie urged that AZ the civil
y. osecutioDs must greatly benefit the county, In

uerers. lie intimated that his action aguinst
The Ring would not 10 beyond tho ivil suits.
In the subsequent consult itlons, although no
dennite conclusion was reached. there was a
strong disposition In favor OF asKing Attorney
General FIirchlld to delegate some criminal
lawyer to assume TINT branch OF the prosecu-
ttOn, and the committee OF gentlemen VINO rave

1853.

In mentioning the departure of the
Rev. Father Leray for a visit to his
native land, the Vicksburg Herald, while
bestowing well-merited praise upon that
excellent Christian gentleman for his
self-sacrifcing care Of the sick during
the yellow fever pestilence in Jackson in
1888, does injustice ono doubt uninten-
tionally) to others. 1t says:
1t was in Jackson during the epidemic
of yellow fever, in 1858, he served the
sick with devoted care and unrivaled
skill, relieving the suffering body Of its
t0rturing pain, and oonsoling the dying in
their agony. So terrible was this scourge,
that physicians and ministers fled away,
leaving him, and two other Catholic
priests, alone to succor, not only their
own people, but the abandoned fiocks
His two assistants were not long left to
him, falling victims to that destroying
fever, and martyrs to their devoted zeal
This is all true as to the Rev Mr.
Leray, but a cruel injustice to other self
sacrificing ministers of religion, as well as
to the medical faculty of our city. The
writer's remembrance Of what occurred
in our death-stricken community on
that occasion, is vivid The Rev. Dr.
Marshall, Of Vicksburg, after battling
with the pestlence at his own home until
it had ahated there, came to Jackson and
labored herOically in the cause of human
ity, nursing the sick and administering
the consultations of religion to the dying.
| His labors can never be forgotten by
those who passed with him through those
trying scenes A marble slab in our
city cemetery marks the resting place Of
| the yell-remem bered Rev. Amos Clea-
yer, an Episcopal minister, who fell
a victim while IN the performance of his
duty during the pestilence. Equally
unjust is the statement that our physi-
clans fed away before the pestilence
Who does not know how Cabness, Far
rar. Smart and Boyd, and perhaps
others whose nailas Dc not now occur to
us, remained at their posts and hattled
with the destroyer. They are all gone
now-the first three, to their long homes
through the dark valley and across the
great river into the realities OF the life
beyond and the last, to foreign land
but their names are treasured, and their
memories will not soon pass away from
the recollection of the people among
whom they lived and toiled
