Rich Bought the Right to Take Care of
Jake kilrain.

GIcHBURG, MISS, March Theoretically
Jake hIirain is a prisoner serving out two
month sentence for assault committed on
one John l.. Sullivan in Marion county. Prac-
hcally he is enjoying full liberty and the gem
erous hospitality Of "A subjailer. When Jake
left this city for Columbia. the county seat OF
Marion, Saturday morning in company with
Chas. W. Rich 1t was with the belief that the
efforts of his friends TO secure his release under
the prison contract system had been futile.
Jake was blue aud 80 was Rich. The latter has
conceived a warm friendship for the Baltimore
pugillst and said he would keep Jake out OF
jail If II cost sl.O00. Friday kilograms were
passing between Rich and the authorities
OF Marion county. Rich was ordered TO
produce Jake before the county COM
mlssivners. Rich is one OF the wealthiest most
popular and influential young men in Marion
county. and when he undertakes to do a thing
he usually succeeds. On meeting the commits
sioners he took of his coat. produced check
ltrequired two hours of fast and emphatic talk
to gam his point, but he gained it, The cli-
max to the argument was reached when Rich
signed check tor good round sum, and.
throwing 1t before them, invited the commits
sioners to either accept or reject it, aud to be
IL a hurry about making up their minds The
check was accepted. The amount of money it
calls for is not yet known. Rich refuses to say
aud the Marion county commissioners are
equally reticent. Jake and Rich returned to
this city last night to be dined and wined by
friendly sports.

From Wall street Today.

NEw YORK, March 24.-The dullness and
narrowness which were SO prominent in the
stock market during the latter part Of last week
were still the principal features this morning,
but, as was natural. after the advance Of Satur-
day on a dull market, prices were, as a rule,
somewhat weaker. though marked improve
ment was made in some directions. First
prices were generally lower than the closing
figures Of Saturday, the losses extending to
per cent but further losses were restricted 10
slight fractions in all cases except sugar, which
declined I, and afIerward fully recovered the
loss. On the other hand special strength was
seen in Chicago gas, which rose to so, against
~ Saturday, and Tennessee coal continued its
rise, reaching 225s from "a. Tennessee fol-
lowed with gain of I per cent to 81. The
changes in the other stocks were entirely in
significant, but at IL o'clock the market was
strong, though dull, at the best prices reached

THE TARIFF BILL.
The Measure Not Yet Reported to the
Full Committee.

The committee on ways and means, as a
whole, will probably not get the tariff bill be-
fore the latter part of the week. The republi-
can members are still working on the bill and
there are several items yet over which there is
a good deal of pulling and hauling from the
outside.
They are giving proper consideration to the
various petitions and protests that come to
their attention, which, of course, involves much
labor and takes up time. They do not propose
to act hastily on any question and when good
reasons are given for the reconsideration of
any matter they have passed upon the matter
is carefully weighed.
They hope to get the bill through the whole
committee and into the House by about the
10th Of April. When the measure finally gets
into the House it is not proposed to waste
much time in general debate, but to go as soon
as possible into the consideration under the
6ye-minute rule

representatives claiming to be elected, and
of Messrs. Maginnis and Clark by the court

their election called in question, but there were
two sets Of five representatives from Silver Bow
county claiming to be elected One of these
sets elected, with twenty-five other republicans
and eight senator's voted for Saunders and
Powers. The other set, with twenty flour other
gnnis and Clark.

The case, therefore, turned upon the oues-
ton which Of these two sets of five persons

that there was any adjudication Of the House
