MRS. ELLIs.-No application for bali
has been made in the case of Mrs. Liz
zie M. Ellis, who occupies cell in the
Richmond city jail on a charge of kill
ing her child. Examination was waiv.
ed in the Police Court yesterday and
tbs case sent to the grand jury. Her
case has excited the widest interest and
sympathy, and it is not believed that
she will suffer greatly at the hands of
q jury. Judge Witt, of the Hastings
Court, in whose bands the matter of
bail rests, sent special request To- the
jailer that the little woman be made
as comfortable as possible.
Jarrard G. Ellis, who is said to be the
husband of Mrs. Lizzie Miller Ellis,
turned up in Petersburg last night. He
was very reticent, refused to make
statement, said he had not heard of
Mrs. Ellis poisoning her baby in Richq
mond and denied that he had ever been
married. This adds interest to this
very unique case, which is attracting
much attention. Ellis answers the de.
scription OF the reputed husband of the

THE PROPOSED colonial department

the agricultural When people are
gullible, and besides, patiently submit
to any degree of taxation that may be
imposed upon them by corrupt gov

of the strain to which they may be sub

there is no more need for department
of colonies than there is for one OF

one, all the same.
