A SENSATIONAL CHARGE.
RebuLe of the Greed of 4. :. Conn

CHARLESTON. s. C.. January 15.-ln
the United States District Court to-day
Judge Brawley delivered a very sensa-
tionsl charge to the grand jury Just
completing It's work. At this term OF the
court the jury have had to find no bills
against many OF the parties indicted, and
IL was becoming notorious that. United
States commissioners and marshais were
making cases on fiimsy testimony IN
order to get the fees. Judge Brawley de-
voted his attention to this subject. In the
course OF very striking charge he said !:
..Your findings have demonstrated that
nine tenths OF the prosecutions under Sec
ton s242 have no merit in them; that they
have not been inspired by any proper
desire IN advance the cause OF justice.
but by the greed Of miserable wretches.
Who have sought to make money out or
them Some Of these men have already
been brought to trial and convicted OK

MISSISSIPPI sENATORsHIP.
Money S;iII the Fnyorite-Lnsf
Nights nnIlotipg.

JACKSON, MISS. January 15.-The
senatorial question continues the allah
sorbing topic in Mississippi, and promi-
nent men and politicians from all sections
of the State arc here in the interest OF
their favorites.
Colonel Money continues the favorite,
being 81 votes ahead and lacking only u
votes of = majority. II has often hap
pened. however that the foremost candi-
date for such high horors. even when
nearer the haven than Money, has been
defeated. The late Major Barksdale, who
represented Mississippi in Congress back
in the eighties came within 1 votes of
being senator. instead OF General George,
and within votes of being Governor, in
stead of Lowry.
Encouraged by these recollectons, the
opposition TO Colonel Money are conf
IDENTIFY predicting his defeat and the only
obstacle in the way Of its accomplish
ment is that the field cannot be concen-
trated on any other candidate In the race.
There is very strong undercurrent for
GovernOr-elect McI.aurin, and in case
tins deadlock is prolonged until after his
induction into office on the 2lst. there
will be stampede In his direction that
/ cannot be stopped. II is charged that his
friends are even working TO that end,
! and that the four or five votes he re-
ceiyes on every ballot are intended as re-
minders that he would accept the trust
II rendered.
When the caucus assembled tonight
resolution was adopted by a two-to-one
vote excluding everybody from the hall
except members representatives, and
pages The first ballot resulted: Money,
"a. Lowry. A; Allen. 80; Hooker. 10; Nc
Laurin. 4-the same as last night.
On the ninth ballot Money received IS
votes; Lowry IL; Allen, 81 Hooker I;
McLauriu, 4.
The announcement was received with
the widest enthusiasm on the part Of the
Money forces He was within six votes
OF the nomination. The opposition moved
an adjournment. which was greeted by
storm of Noes and the roll-cal was
demanded. resulting i'm a victory for the
anti Money men. and the caucus adjourn
ed amidst a series of yels. 1t was evil
dent that one or two more ballots would
have resulted IN the nomination of Colo
mel Money.

REFUSED TIE MONEY.
Auditor Warren Declines to Receive Pole
Tax from The Bell Company.
AFRAID OF BINDING THE CITY.
He Said He Could Not DO So De-
cause Of the Recent Revocation Of
PriviIeges-Othcr Corporations Pay
Up-IIumJsome sum Realized.

A very nice question vas raised In the
Office OF the City Auditor yesterday after
noon.
The Council recently passed an ord-
nance laying a tax OF s. upon each tele-
phone. telegraph. and electric-light pole
In use upon the streets OF the city. This
measure has recently gone into effect.
and several OF the companies affected
by the ordinance sent up to the City
Hall yesterday to pay their respects Ia
Auditor Warren
Along with the others went Colonel G.
f. McCluer. superintendent OF the South
ern Bell Telephone Company. The Bell
has now in Use upon the streets of Rich.
mond something over 1000 poles. and Colo-
mel McCluer rendered Mr.. Warren a check
for the amount to which his company
would have been taxed under the pro-
visions OF the measure. but the Auditor
declined TO accept the draft, or the money.
on the ground that the privileges OF tho
telephone company In Richmond had been
revoked.
MIGHT BIND THE CITY.
Colonel McCiuer argued the question
with the Auditor, but TO no avail. The
superintendent finally departed. but soon
returned 10 the City Hail. accompanied
by Judge William J. Leake as counsel
for the company. and the tender Was
again made to Auditor Warren and again
declined.
The Auditor gave as his reason for re-
fusing to receive the money from the
Southern Bell that he did not think he
could do so without thereby recognizing
that company's rights to keep It's poles
upon the streets of the city for another
year. He assured his callers that he
would be- glad to do as they had re-
quested him 10. but that he could not
accept the money. save upon the advice
Of the City Attorney. City-Attorney Mere-
dith will probably be approached in the
matter to-day.
OTHER COMPANIES PAY.
! An officer OF the Richmond Railway
and Electric Company called upon the
Auditor yesterday and paid into the city
| Golfers the sum OF tl.0iS for a year's tax
upon its 500 poles. and the Western Union
Telegraph Company also went forward
and paid up for its c.2 poles. The Postal
company at first declined TO comply with
the terms of the ordinance In this re-
spect. but IT subsequently sent the money
up to Auditor Warren. IL was then too
| late for the Auditor TO receive II. lie Will
lake il this morning. however.
| The Richmond Traction and the Rich
mond Standard Telephone companies can
not as yet. as a matter of course. tell
how many poles they Will have TO use
this year. but as soon as they get SUN
cient Information on this point they Will
probably follow in the line Of the other
companies. The revenue 10 the city from
, his pole-tax will be something like $.ccc.
All OF the payments were practically
riade under protest. the companies de-
claring that In complying with the re-
quirements OF the ordinance they did not
admit It's legality.
