SENSATIONAL CHARGES.
Quite sensation was TIRED up in The
senate yesterday morning by the intro
ducton of Il memorial from j. w. Terry
of Galveston, preferring charges against
State Senator Miles Crowley OF Calves
ton, who is now member OF the senate,
but who was recently elected TO congress
from the Tenth congressional district.
The charges are of Il very sensational
nature, charging Matchmaking and cor
ruption of all kinds.
One of the charges stipulatcs that Sena-
tor Miles Crowley was guilty oil
Matchmaking the Pullman Palace com
pany and of using his position rs II sena-
Tor to wrongfully secure free pass from
publication in the state papers on
Feb. II, 1893, of the fact that he would
introduce bill in the senate providing
that all companies running sleeping cars
i'm the state should be required TO keep
the upper berths of the cars closed ana
locked when not in use, and each sucl car
10 he provided with one-half MS many
ladders as there are upper berths in such
car. 1t is charged that said bill was
not introduced until March and then
not with any bona fde intention or desire
that the same should become law, but
with the intent to secure free pass by
threatening said companies with hostile
legislation. Crowley introduced the same,
CuuSeu IL 10 Dc W Nohhit'NS
on labor, of which he was member,
while said bill should have gone to the
committee on internal improvements, OF
which he was not a member. Later the
Pullman company or some member thereof
furnished Crowley with free pass in
their cars. Said bill having thus accom-
plshed the purpose of its introduction,
said Crowley abandoned all efforts to
pass the same and it was never re-
ported by the committee. Secondly,
that during the session of the senate in
1893 Senator Crowley was approached
by DIR. Downs of Galveston and DIR.

securing his support of Il bill concerning
