The Hon. b. w. Perkins, of Oswego,
arrived yesterday and to an EAGLE re-
porter said: YES, Oh yes, have heard
something about the Kansas rebellion. In
fact have been hearing good deal about
it. OF course it would be hard to estimate
what it will amount to, but | see the Re-
publicans are getting up in earnest IN
some sections The best explanation l
have for it is that the prohlbitlonists have
not been helping the Republican party.
You see that they have been having a
third ticket every year and have been try
ing to weaken and wreck the Republican
party. While the Republicans took up
prohibition in Kansas and have been
handling it as conscientiously as possible,
the assistance in the manner OF a
Third party has always been present.
Yes sir, the prohbitionists themselves by
their hypocrisy and cant are to blame for
this movement TO great degree. Now to
illustrate what mean, when | was judge
| think | enforced the law, the prohibi-
ton law, better than any judge in
the state and every election had
a third party candidate against me-
After referring to the cause of the agita-
ton he said: "And if the prohibition
question was submitted to the people to-
day it would be defeated"
knowing something ofssthe Judges opin-
ions and record" on the question he was
asked if he really meant to say that and If
it could be used in print he added: ''Yes,
sir, mean that the people of this state to-
day would defeat prohibition if they could
get a chance to vote on the question, and
you have the liberty of making the asser-
ton as public as you please. Now don't
understand me to say / would vote against
prohibition, for that don't follow with any
more reason than to conclude that | would
vote the Democratic ticket next year be-
cause should say that Mississippi will go
Democratic at the next election. 1t Is
a conclusion, and a concl ision simply
without any reference as to my own per-
sonal position.
Concerning the extra session" feature
the Judge said: Don't think that is a
good plan nor do l think it will be called.
1t certainly would not be best for the re-
submissionists to give over their cause to
the present legislature not having been
elected on that issue If it hangs fire I'M
I'll next year suppose the resubmlssion
or constitutional convention question Will
enter into the campaign and the next leg
islature will be better prepared to know
the wishes of the people.
The judge tapered off the conversation
with some of his experiences In the Nir-
ginia campaign which were quite interest
ing. He will remain in the city today at
tending to some business matters.

TEAM RUN INTO.

AS the Frisco train was nearing the city
Thursday evening it ran into team and
the driver was quite badly injured about
the head. A double team with but one
occupant was stopped near the crossing
waiting for the train to pass, but just be-
fore the crossing had been made the
horses through fright became unmanage-
able and rushed toward the moving train.
Being unable to cross the track they
turned down the railroad and the hind
wheel of the buggy was caught by the en-
CINE and the rig was completely demol-
ished The horses ran off apparently I'M
injured but the driver was thrown out, his
head striking against stone lntiicting a
serious cash. The train hands returned to
the spot as soon as possible and removed
the man to place of safety. A physician
was summoned who pronounced the in
iuries dangerous but not necessarily fatal.
He was recognized as farmer in the
vicinity. but no one present knew his
name The physician would not allow any
one to question the wounded man and it is
doubtful if he would have been able to
talk for a few hours at least.

LITERARY.

Last night was the regular weekly meet
ing of the Young Peoples Literary So

and profitable to those who participated in
the exercises. Some OF the leading per-
formances are given below.
The president, Prof. H. S. McMichael
occupied the chair and announced the

ures, will be allowed to give their views

SPECIAL COUNCIL SESSION.

The city council held special session
yesterday to consider the question of a
compromise with Mrs. Mary Doremus,
who some weeks ago broke her leg as the
result of defective sidewalk on Main street,
near Central avenue, There were present
Councilman Healy Carson. Barnes, Mer-
Ger. Downing, Schnitzler and Glaze, with
Mayor Clement in the chair.
After the reading of the call it was OBJ
served that the chairman OF the judiciary
committee, Mr. C. F. Coffin. was not pres
ent, and Mr.. Carson, member OF the COM
mittee, who had personally investigated
the matter, made the report. He referred
to the fact that Mr.. Coffin, concerning the
matter, at previous meeting had stated
that Mrs. Doremus would not accept less
than 81 800 and compromise. He said Mrs.
Doremus had told him that she repeatedly
told Mr. Coffin that she would take SSOO,
and had told him to SO report to the coun-
Gil and the committee. She had also asked
Mr.. Coffin to send other members OF the
committee to see her. Carson said as a
member of the committee present he had
not been told by Coffin anything about the
$500 offer, but it was 81, 500 according to
him, and he had not heard Of Coffin ask
ing any other member of the committee to
give the matter personal attention accord
ing to request of Mrs. Doremus.
He had asked Mrs. Doremus If Coffin,
who has been acting as her attorney
against the city as well as a member of the
judiciary committee of the council for the
city. if he had said any thing about his fee
in the case, and she answered that he had
SO far said nothing about his fee.
He stated that Mrs. Doremus said City
Physician McClees had told her he would
charge S35 if she got nothing from the
CITY, and double that amount if she did.
She had also been advised by the city ply
stefan to not compromise for any thing
less than good sum.
The committee, however, had succeeded
in getting the compromise figure down to
a reasonable point as they thought, and
recommended it be allowed. The report
was adopted by unanimous vote.
