had refused to sell She averred that after
that time she mad been permitted no part
or voice in the management Of the Metro
polItan company. She had even been IN
able to learn Of the conduct OF the line or
OF its plans for the future. She charged
that the ''interpenetTatiug relations" be
tween the Metropolitan company and the
syndicate were most detrimental to the
former and that the line was mismanaged
and her stock was lessening in value in
consequence. She asked that receiver be
appointed for and an accounting made by
the Metropolitan company. Practically. the
suit involved the right Of the syndicate to
exist.
The syndicate. in its answer to the suit
stated that Mrs Letter was receiving the
usual DIVIDENDS on her stock. and that fl
was not lessening in value. IN general. it
denied all the charges and, in addition. the
cross charge was made that Mrs Letter

AN ORATORICAL GEM.
Speech of Hon, w. NJ Cox, OF Prentiss
County, in Seconding the Nomination
of Gen. Robert Lowry for United
States senator, in the Dem
ocratic Caucus.

Mr.. Chairman, Senators and Representatives.:
We are entering now upon most high and
responsible duty, No more important function
can be performed by the legislature of an Amer
lean commonwealth than the election of its
representatives in the senate of the United
States for they not only represent the political
convictions and purposes OF their people, but to
the world they are the types of their character
and life.
can approach that high duty upon this oc'
casIon with none other than feeling of deep
solemnlty. If the gentleman whose candidacy
shall espOuSe on this floor receives your nom
nation cannot exult over the vanquished but
should he be defeated it will be to me not merely
a disappointment but sorrow.
Mississippi is proud State. She has made
proud record. She has contributed to the
service of the republic long line OF illustrlous
statesmen, distinguished not more for their
abilities, their attachments and their patriotism
than for lofty and rugged integrity Of charac-
ter. for unsulled honor in public and private
life, and for unselfSh and unwayerlng devotion
to the common veal,
'rwere long to recount the names OF all OF
them. There are four, however, who stand
foremost in the affections of the people of Mis-
sissippi-Dayis Lamar, George and Walthall.
Clarem ct venerable n0men may well be said of
each
shall not attempt to enumerate their ser
vices, nor pay tribute to their virtues. Such
task would exhaust all power OF eulogy, and it
Is not needed for they live in the hearts OF their
people.
1t is to me a matter of pride that these names
have stood as the great types of MISSISSIPPI
character, and as the representatives of our in
telligence culture and civilization
The standard which they have raised is high
one 1t will be a sad day indeed when the PEG.
pie of Mississippi forget 1t, or permit it to be
lowered
They belonged to generation which has well
nigh passed. They belonged to the old South,
to people who preferred honor to advantage,
and principles to success, and who counted pub
lie office a dishonor when won by questionable
means,
l said their generation has well nigh passed,
But it has not entirely passed. Some of their
splendid associates are yet with the living,
There remains one who was their cotemporary
and friend, and, in character and service, their
worthy compeer. You will pass upon his claims
tonight, and in doing so you will pass, perhaps,
for the last time upon the claims of the old South
and OF generation that has made our history
glorious beyond all that the future may hold
for us.

BoLDEST ROBBERY ON RECORD.
A Lone HIghwayman Holds Up the
Walters and Customers In
Two Restaurants.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan, 15.-In true
and armed, cleaned out two restau.
rants in the center of the city at six
o'clock yesterday morning under the
glare of an electric light.
In Lewis restaurant, at 1910 Walnut
street, he pointed pistol at Stanley
Brushwood, the cashier and tapped
the register while he kept his revolver
in plain view of two customers eating
near by. The contents of the register
had been transferred to the safe but
few minutes previous, and the robber
secured only handful of change.
When he had satisfied himself that
there was nothing more in sight he
gave the waiter and the two customers
a parting word of warning and skipped
across the street to the restaurant OF
Robert McClintock. Here the robber
covered Cashier Joseph Drysdale, and
commanded two walters and three
customers to hold up their hands.
They compiled promptly, and the rob
Der emptied the register in atwinkling,
He pocketed the entire contents, STAG
and, backing out of the door, encount'
cred a grocery solicitor. He poked his
revolver into the solicitors face with
the command not to make an alarm
and forced him into the restaurant,
where all the others still stood with
arms upstretched.
At this therobber darted downa near
by alley, and disappeared. Hardly more
than five minutes was consumed at
both jobs, and the robber had plenty
Of time to get away before the scared
victims had recovered their composure.

A DESPERATE CHARACTER.
Unprovoked Murder-Qunr-
relied over Change.

Helenwood, Tenn, Jan. 15.-At Al
my. four miles from here, Andy Chit
wood, highly respected young man,

held up the Paint Rock engine that
carries the mail from the mines to
Oneida, and at 10 p. m. killed Chit
