FEDERAL COURT MEETS
The Case of Miss r1Ollie rIat-
thews Will Come Up
for Trial.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 3.-The regu-
lar November term of the FEDERAL
Court for the southern district Of Mis-.
sissippi convened here today with
Judge H. @. Niles presiding.
Z Several important cases, both OWL
and criminal are to be disposed Of dur
ing the term, among the latter being
that of Miss Mollie Matthews, a well
known and hitherto highly respected
white lady, who is under a So, 900
bond on the charge Of sending obscene
matter through the mails and attempt
ings to ruin the character Of a pure
and innocent young girl living In her
neighborhood. Her arrest three weeks
ago created a profound sensation
throughout the State.
The power of the Mississippi railroad
commission to fix rates on brick and
lumber on the Gulf and Ship Island
road will be tested in an injunction
proceeding instituted by the company,
the restraining order now temporarily
in force being based on the claim that
the oompany's charter grants entire
exemption from supervision by tho
commission.
The grand jury will investigate the
alleged COTTON seed oil trust and it is
probable that large number of the
mill managers and employees in the
district will be indicted.

END OF HOT FIGHT
IN PENNSYLVANIA

Harrisburg, Pa, Nov. 1.-Oee OF
the most spirited political campaigns
Pennsylvania has witnessed in recent
years IL being brought to close to-
day with rousing rallies IN every
county Of the state.
!. Neither side is leaving u stone un-
turned in its effort to SCORE victory
at the polls next Tuesday. The Re-
publican campaign managers declare
themselves satisfied with the outlook
and appear confident that their tick
ct, headed by ex-Judge Samuel W.
Pennypacker, will win out by q large
majority.
On the other hand the Democrats
with Ex-Governor Robert E. Pattison
as their standard bearer, believe they
have an excellent chance Of sweeping
the state, notwithstanding the big
normal Republican majority. As
sisting the regular Democrats are the
independent Republicans. who are
opposed to Quayism, and thousands
OF admirers Of John p Elkin, who
believe that the latter was cheated
out Of the Republican nomination
through Quay's devices. The Demo
cratic leaders are also making the
most of the popular impression that
If the Quay legislature had passed
legislation In the interest Of to
miners at the last session there would
have been no strike. Consequently
the Democrats are banking on .
large labor vote for Pattison.

BURNING OF DARLING
Governor SAYS He Knew Nothing
About the Affair Till At

jackson, Miss, Nov. 3.-No notii-
cation was received by Governor
Longino Of the burning Of negro OAR
ling at tie stake near Sardis, and
the first news of the event was
Bought to the capital city Sunday
morning in the press dispatches. Is
was known here that a mob was in
pursuit OF the negro, but no request
was made fol troops to protect him
in case of capture.
Some time since Governor Longino
prevented lynching in the town OF
Sardis by sending the Jackson mill
tary company to the scene, and the
prisoner was brought to jackson. The
mob was evidently determined not to
be cheated from its prey on this occa-
sion. and as the lynching occrred in
an out.ofthe way community, it
would have been impossible to get
troops to the scene.
