the presentation of the rules, and that they
would have would have been before the
House ten days ago il he had done his duty.
A VIGOROUS DENIAL.
This brought Mr.. Carlisle to his feet with
vigorous denial. He said there had only
been three meetings of the Committee on
Rules, the first being on the Sd of January.
There had been no meeting in the commit
tee room. He had never received a notlce
in writing of meeting of the committee,
but he had been sent for by the Speaker, and
had met him and Messrs. Mckinley and
Cannon at the Speakers request.
He had been sent for to attend two OF the
meetings at the sSpeaker'sl request, last
Ing only about 20 minutes each. he had
promptly attended every meeting called.
There had been no meetings since last Mon
day. When Mr.. Carlisle had refuted the
charge of dereliction OF duty on his part
letter was presented to the caucus from Rep
resentative Randall. He advised the DEM
ocrats to stay in the House and stand by
their guns, to use every effort to stop abso-
lutely all business in the House until set
of rules had been presented and adopted.
This stirring advice from the old-tlme
leader, lying on his sick-bed, was extremely
welcome to his fellow-Democrats, and was,
moreover, in the line of action that they de-
cided to follow. There was much talk, of
course, and some of the members were bitter
in their denunciation of the proceedings of
the last three days. But conservative coun-
sells prevailed and it was felt that the party
had better follow the leadership of Messrs.
Carlisle, Crisp and Mills.
THE SAME TACTICS.
No one couh suggest any new obstructive
tactics that promised well, and the general
opinion was to the effect that the programme
followed during the last three days should
be continued in force, and that every par
liamentary move that would obstruct the
Republicans in their designs should be
made. The reading of the journal in full is
to be insisted upon, and is expected to con-
sumo an hour each day, the yeas and
nays are to be demanded at every
step, and appeals are to be taken
from all rulings regarded as arbl-
trary and unjust by the minority.
There was, however, no formal resolution to
do this adopted. Mr.. Carlisle, with the aid
o: other leaders. will draw up an address to
the country, which will be published in
justification of the course of the minority.
During the speech-making the subject of
securing the Intervention of the Supreme
Court to attempt to establish the illegal
nature of the Republican proceedings was
broached, but no action was taken.

TRENTON, N. j.. January 31.-George
W. Jessup, of Burlington, created big stir
at the meeting of the State Board of Agri-
culture to-day, by offering the following
resolution:
WHEREAS, The tomato crop of New Jersey
is an important and an increasing industry;
and.
Whereas. The price at which the crop is now
purchased by Gamers does not admit of any re-
duction; and
Whereas, There is now powerful interest at
work before the Committee of WAYS and Means
of our National Legislature, endeavoring to Sc
cure a heavy duty on tin plate which will, ii
secured, make necessary further reduction
in the price paid the farmer of at least cents
basket; be 1t therefore
Resolved, That the State Board enters its
protest against the proposed increase duty on
tin plate. fully believing said duty, if secured,
will work directly to the disadvantage of
great number of farmers in our State.
Adrian Applegate, of Mercer, and Judge
Forsythe, of Burlington, declared that the
farmers were oppressed more than any other
people, and that to high protection was
partly attributable many of their woes.
Thomas h. Dudley, of Camden, Ralph Eye,
of Mercer, and other gentlemen made strong
statements to the contrary, and the resolu-
tion was voted down.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHi
JACKSON, MISS, January 31.-The Sen
ate to-day, by vote of % yeas to 3 nays,
passed bill which will soon completely
change the management of the penite ntiary.
The bill will undoubtedly pass the House,
as the sentiment there is largely in
its favor. 1t is most important
measure to the people of Mississippi. The
Railroad Commission is constituted a
Board of Control of the penitentiary, and
given full charge and management thereof,
which, together with the Governor and
Attorney General, are constituted Board
OF Appointment, with power TO appoint all
subordinate officers. The Office of superln-
tendent is abolished, and the following
subordinate Offices are created: One warden,
l farm manager, physician, travelling
sergeant, l clerk and l chaplain. Salaries
are to be fixed by the board.
1t is provided that the board may select
and purchase tract of land, not to exceed
j, 500 acres in one body, as prison farm, and
favorably situated ,and not to cost more than
SIS 600, and have erected thereon necessary
buildings, precludes the employment or
leasing OF convicts on such public works as
railroads, levees, etc., but that they may,
at the discretion of the board, be leased for
other public works and plantations but to
be under the exclusive control of officers
and guards appointed by the Board of Con-
troll
This bill is considered right step, and a
very progressive one, in the management of
the penitentiary and convicts, and insures
the humane treatment of prisoners.
The Senate resolution declaring it the
sense of the Legislature that the Worlds
Fair of 80 should be held west of the Allie
gheny Mountains was finally passed, and
copy mailed to each of MiSsissippis Repre-
sentatiYes in Congress.

He Shot Mt Bishop Whitaker Because BE
Thought He Ought To.
PHILADELPHIA, January 81. - Dav i'd
Alexander, who tried to assassinate Bishop
Whitaker, Sunday evening last, pleaded
guilty, this morning. before Judge Arnold.
Dr. Andrews, Of the county prison, testified
that Alexander was sane on every other
subject except that of prohibition. When
asked by Judge Arnold what he had to say,
Alexander rose, and in an eloquent voice.
addressing the Court, said:
81 always thought that the church was
supposed to help and support the poor
widows and orphans, and when a man, a
minister of the church. openly denounces
prohibition, as Christian consider it a
vile and base crime; but when man ranks
so high as the Bishop, think he is guilty
of a very vile crime indeed, and is a
hindrance to the church instead of a sup
port. They speak OF the good cause and the
church, but when a bishop is allowed to
openly denounce prohibition, 1 think it
shows great decrease"
Sentence was deferred,

A San Francisco Broker Shot and Killed by
an Angry Husband.
SAN FRANCISCO, January 31.-Samuel
W. Garners. a money broker of this city,
died at the City Hospital late last night
from the effects of bullet wounds inflicted
by D. H. Arnold, a wealthy resident of
Colusa county. The shooting is believed to
have had its origin in some anonymous cir
culars distributed in Colusa over a year ago
charging Mrs. Arnold with having been
guilty of improper conduct. Arnold had
endeavored to ascertain the author of these
circulars, and his suspicious rested on Gar
ners.
The men had quarreled over the affair
several times before, and yesterday after
noon they entered a saloon on Market street
together and went into q private room.
A few moments later several shots were
heard, and when the parties entered the
room they found Arnold had shot Garners
with a revolver, three OF the shots taking
effect and causing his death last night.
Arnold was arrested and is still in custody.
He refuses to make any statement in regard

THE BOYS CLIPPED IN.
The Way They Built n Church for Bishop
Talbot Out West.

Talbot Out West.
Baltimore Americana
Rt. ReV. DIR. Ethelbert Talbot, mission
ary bishop of Wyoming and Idaho, last
night delivered an address at St. Peters
Episcopal Church on "Needs of the Church
in the West" He talked in a free and easy
Western, but diguiied way, giving interest
ing accounts of his work among the miners,
saloonkeepers and hard cases OF that far
away western land. He told how a gener-
ous-hearted saloon keeper loaned him a
bucking pony to ride, and rounded up the
habitues of his saloon. who were all Iol-
lowers of Ingersoll, bringing them to hear
him preach.
This saloon keeper sang with a bird-like
voice, and played the organ for the bishop,
and with tears in his eyes told him wien he
was ready to build a church to let him
know, and he would make all the boys chip
in and help to build it, which he did, and is
active in the new congregation. He said
Billy Bartlett had much that was good in
him. The bishop related such things to en-
phasize the substance of his address, which
was that many good men went astray in the
Far West because of the absence of all
church and purifying influences; and that
the great need of the West was more minis
ters and more churches.

GIarinR Case of suffering Accidentally

NEW YORK, January 31.-Last evening
there was brought to light one of the most
glaring cases of abject poverty and destitu-
ton ever chronicled in the history of New
York's poor. Officer Rosenthal discovered
in a little room, eight feet long by four feet
wide, mother and a daughter, aged respec-
lively 65 and 35 years. The surroundings
were repulsive in the extreme, and the
daughter was evidently insane, being COM
pletely covered with long growth of black
hair.
The unfortunate woman was taken to a
hospital and to-day the improvement in her
appearance was most marked, but as she has
a form of insanity that is incurable, it is
doubtful if she will ever leave the insti-
tuition,
