Laws ON the Subject.

Laws on the Subject.
| RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 9.-The legis-
lature has convened in biennial ses-
sion. The democrats have two-thirds
majority on joint ballot. Governor
O'Ferrell's message was presented TO
both houses. 1t has several striking
features. He takes strong grounds
against lynch law and invokes the aid
of the law making power to stamp out
the spirit which brings discredit and
reproach upon the common wealth.
He commends the passage of an act re-
quiring county or city where a lynch
every one thousand population for
every lynching that takes place, to GO
into the school fund, and that when
the military is called out, that the city
or county where the disturbance occurs
shall pay the cost. He further recon-
mends that If any officer allows pris-
oner to be taken from his custody to
be lynched, the officer shall be sum-
marily dismissed from office and that
the prisoner or his heirs be given the
right of action against said officer, and
that the burden of proof of a proper
defense of the prisoners shall be upon
the officer. Concluding this subject,
which was. handled with great vigor,
he said;
81 further recommend that the pen-
atty for.criminal assault, or an attempt,
shall in every case be death, and that
an Indictment for either offense shall
have precedence over every other case
on the docket in the court in which
the Indictment is spending. In my
opinion, if any act embodying such
provisions, is passed, lynchings will
cease in Virginia.

CHICAGO, Dec. "a special from
Anderson, Ind, says:
The announcement that the great
Depauw Window Glass Company will
put its plant into operation the first of
the year has put the window glass trust
on edge, and the shut down of all win
dowglass plants in the country, which
was to have taken place January 1, to
continue for an indefinite period, has
been declared off. The plant is the
largest in the United States, and the
company refuses to go into the COM
bine. The announcement that the
American Plate Glass Company's plant
at Alexandria and. New Albany would
be put in operation January / also
caused the officers of the trust to take,
alarm. The Alexandra plant is, the
largest in the world, and the two, it is
said, are large enough to force down
the prices of the trust, The flint glass
trust will close Its plants in January
for short time to strengthen prices.
