Levee Com missloners Meet,

Greenville, Jan. 1.-The board OF
Mississippi levee commsssioners met in
regular session today, with DR.. A. j
Phillips, president, and other officials
and members present. Most of the
work to be done by the commission is to
receive the reports OF the secretary and
treasurer, chief engineer and attorney,
examine and pass upon the same. The
finances of the board are in better sh ape
than they have been for some time. The
collections from cotton tax since Sep
tember last to date amount to SIT, 900,
while collections for the whole of last
year from this source were only S11s,-
600. Tax-Collector L. c. Dulaney has
made a very active collector, and says
that more than Sl5,OOO will yet be added
to the receipts from the cotton tax.
The board will remain in session
tonight and tomorrow and probably
Wednesday,.

The office Of the Southern Express
Company at Meridian was entered by
burglars a few nights since, an entrance
being effected by boring out one OF the
panels of the rear door. A small iron
safe was carried away by the burglars
and broken open about three blocks
from the express Office. The express
officials claim that the safe contained
only a few dollars, If any money at all.
There is no clue to the burglars.

ters until the last half hour OF the $685.
iion, when the bill to prohibit the
transm .ssion Of detailed accounts of
prize fights by mail or telegraph was
Brought up. This led to q very lively
aaLirmish, in which prize fighting was
denounced on all sides, and the advo.
4 cites OF the bill insisted that the 'ssick.
Shlng details" should be suppressed in
the interest Of good morals. The bill
1ar with most strenuous opposition on
the ground that it would tend to estab-
Lsh a censorship Of the press. At the
