GRAZ TING CHARGED
Nm Connection With Certain Acts of tn
Mississippi LegisIature.


JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 13.-Consider-
able excitement was caused Thursday in
the house by the Introduction OF reso-
luton by Representative Glover to the
effect that IL having been rumored that
money was used with some members of
the legislature to get the penitentiary
bill postponed for two years, the house
appointed committee to investigate
the matter and see ii there was any
truth in the report Several members
surrounded Glover in moment, urging
his selection, which was finally done.
1t is charged by members that undue
influence was used in having the plea
for a penitentiary bill postponed for
two years, and the object of the resolu-
ton was to see how much truth there
was in the rumor. 1t is likely that the
resolution will come Gp again in a day
or two in another shape.

poured in in reply to this advertisement.

against Albert E. Herrick for man

first indictment was for causing the
death of Mable Slocum, and the second
for causing the death of Anna Maria
Baldwin, in the terrible New York Cen
trail wreck at Hastings on Christmas
Eve, in which so many lives were lost,
Herrick failed to run back of his train
when it stopped, to give the danger sig
nal to other trains.
