WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON Jan. 23.-The Senate
judiciary committee to-day agreed on bill
designed for the suppression of polygamy.
It's main features are sections based on
Edmunds' bill, doing away with the present
requirement for proofs of polygamous
marriage by providing that the fact of
living in bigamous relation shah be sufficient
evidence for conviction, and that In prose
cution for bigamy any person known as q
iuryman may be challenged on the ground
that he practices or believes in polygamy
as religious rite, and certain new pro-
visions introduced by Senator Logan de-
barring all polygamists from the privileges
of voting, service on juries or holding
office.
Senator Pugh will soon introduce a
bill making it criminal offense for any
person to get up stimulated electoral re-
turn.
Pugh's object Is to simplify the Presi-
Dental electoral returns by excluding all
matter which tend to create side issues.

SMALL P0X.

SPRINGFIELD, Jan. 23.-Representations
made to the state board of health of the
difficulties encountered in the attempt to
comply with the vaccination of shool chill
dren by the time specified, have led the Sc
cretary to still further extend the period as
follows. In counties where the small pox
now exists, the time is extended to Feb.
Is; in counties yet free from smallpox the
time is extended to March 1, provided that
if smallpox makes its appearance in any
such county then the order shall be enforc-
ed within fifteen days from the date of the
first case. Returns of certificates may be
made at any time during March. The
Secretary takes this action in conformity
with the authority conferred upon him by
the Board at its last meeting. Among the
difficulties which had the greatest weight
have been the scarcity of vaccine virus,
prompt communication and the bad
condition of the county roads, render
ing it impossible in many localities for chill
dren to 60 to the physicians offices. A
very general disposition to comply with
the order is manifested and in many instan-
ces private schools and academies have
availed themselves of the certificates and
blanks prepared by the board. Two more
cases here today.

AFTER MANY YEARS.

CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-Some three weeks
ago nine mysterious coffins of rude pat
tern were accidentally unearthed near the
corner Of Vernon avenue and 34th street,
as workmen were excavating for new
building. 1t has just been discovered that
these cofFins contained the remains of con-
federates who died of contagious diseases
while prisoners at Camp Douglass, and who
were not allowed burial in regular GENE
teries. The bones and skulls were being
harshly disturbed by boys in the neighbor-
hood, when citizen of that section had
them all collected and decently inferred in
his private burying ground. The sons of
Virginia will take measures to secure their
removal to some fitting spot which win be
marked appropriately.

mers the benefit of the information now
monopolized by the Boards of Trade
There is report that Secretary Folger
will be appointed to the Supreme bench
Immediately upon the retirement of Judge
Hunt, and Congressman Crowley, of New
York, win succeed Folger in the Treasury.
A decision was rendered to-day in the
case of Clay county, Ill, against the Society
of Saving. This was a suit upon the
coupons of series of bonds issued by the
county partly as a subscription TO the capi-
tai stock of the Illinois s. Southeastern
railway, and partly as donation to that
corporation. The court holds that the
coupons and bonds must be enforced; that
when interest has been paid on the bonds
for eight or ten years, as in this case, with
out objection, the county cannot then sud
denly refuse to pay any more interest and
escape the liability without setting up some
better defense than that here relied upon.
The judgment of the court below is affirm
ed.

spect to the late Senator Burnside. Sew
