LITTLE ROCK, Ark, April 9.-The bri-
berry Investigations erded to-day in DOM
plete vindication of all the parties against
whom Representative Yancey made a di-
rect charge on the floor of the House last
Saturday. The special committee to inves-
tigate the charges made their report to
the House of Representatives about noon
to-day. Mr.. Robinson presented a majority
report, setting forth the fact that a
full and thorough investigation had been
made, every rumor run down and over forty
witnesses Examined, and that the majority
believed that there was absolutely no
ground for the charges of bribery that have
been so freely made. The five members
who signed this majority report were all
supporters of the railway commission bill,
to prevent the passage of which, it was
charged, money was used. No evidence was
found to indicate the use of money in any
manner.

To make a flowerpot presentable for
the table or drawing room stand, make
for it n petticoat Of plain silk, of the
color of the blossom of the plant or in

of silk not overwide are required. If a
rubber cord is used for the drawstrings,
the puff adjusts itself smoothly and

A FLORISTS FAKE.
The Story of the "Bianket Of Flowers" on
Mrs. Astor's Grave an Invention.

The Story of the ''I5IanI1et Of Flowers on
Mrs. Astor's Grave Invention.
Many women have visited Trinity
| cemetery, One Hundred and Fifty fifth
street and Amsterdam avenue, in the
past few days to see the marvellous
blanket of flowers which was said to
"GOver the casket' of Mrs. William
Waldorf Aston, aiid which was to be
renewed every morning for year. by
Mr.. Astor's order. Mrs Aston was bur
led on Jan. 8, not III a vault. but in
grave, i'll the northwestern corner of
the Astor plot. On the day Of the funeral
the mound of earth was covered with
pine boughs. The eyercrccns have not
been removed. and except at one corner,
which has been uncovered by inquisitive
visitors, the grass is covered with snow
The laborers in the co1uetery have swept
path through the burial plot, and
about the grave path has been troddon
by men and women.
The cemetery employees have grown
very tired of having their word doubted
by women who inquire the way to the
Astor vault and the blanket Of flowers
on the coffin. No flowers at all haze
been placed on the grave, and they can
on the casket. So tie women insist that
the coffin is not in the grave, but III the
vault of John Jacob Astor, and they ask
to have the vault opened. so that they
can see this wonderful covering AL
though the man explains to them how
impossible and useless it would be to
comply with their requests, they de-
part unsatisfiod and doubting his word
The old gatekeepcr. who has been
employed about the cemetery % years,
has to bear tbs brunt Of their inquiries
and dis1ppointmeuG5. lie said that the
other evening, just as he was closing the
gates, two women begged for admit
tance, saying that they had come all tho
way from East New York to see the
flowers and would not go home unsatis-
fed. Some come from other states, and
two came from what seemed to him the
ntipodes-Staten Island.
All this annoyance and disappoint-
ment is due to Joseph Fleischman, a
florist, of Broadway. On the morning
of the funeral he told the reporters that
he had the contract to supply fresh flow
ers every day for a year for the gray 9.
For this he was to receive 500 a day..
he said, and in all he would receive
$40, 900 from Mr.. Aston On the day
after the funeral Mr.. Fleischman cent
to the newspaper offices a typewritten
story of the alleged contract given to
him by Mr.. Astor. He was, he said, to
furnish 1000 fresh lilies of the valley
and 1000 violets each day. He repeat
ed the statement yesterday to reporter
of The Sun, and then, being confronted
with the facts admitted that he had in
vented the whole story.
Superintendent Otto Meurer of the
cemetery and his brother Albert. who is
sexton of Trinity church chapel and had
charge of the funeral, say that no such
order for flowers was given by Mr.. As
