The House of Lords adjourned, to-
day, to Oct. 16. In response to inquir-
les just prior to the adjournment, as to

low said the question of new Cana

vice was receiving the earnest atten-
ton of the government.

bilist had been negligent and that he had

STATE CARE OF
GRAVES
5000 coNFEDERATEs BURIED AT
MARIETTA MAY GET ATTEN-
TIoN FROM LEGISLATURE
AT THIS SESSION.

MARIETTA, Ca, Nov III. Gid Nor
ris, of this place, who is a loyal and en-
thusiastic Confederate veteran, offered a
resolution at the reunion in Columbus,
asking the legislature of Georgia to ap-
propriate sufficient sum to care for 5000
Confederate graves, which are on the
property of the state Of Georgia in Mariet-
ia, and which have been left almost to-
tally neglected for more than thirty
years, save for the efforts of few noble
and patriotic women.
The resolution was passed unanimously
amid great enthusiasm. 1t is as follows:
Whereas, There is now buried in the
Confederate cemetery at the city of Ma
rietta, Ca, the remains of over 5000 gall
liant Confederate soldiers, who lost their
