The minister of a Scotch parish was
going from home and procured the
clergyman OF neighboring parish to

was also the beadle. was sent over 10

When the train arrived, the beadle
asked him to wait awhile. as he had
some messages to do before he went.

SNAKES IN JACKSON.
There BY the Hundreds Growing
Up With the City.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, July PA queer snake
story Is reported from the north ward
of this city. Miss Mollie Matthews.
a well known lady, killed a good
sized garter snake which was crawl
ing along the pavement, and few
minutes later when several little boys
were playing with the dead reptile a
live snake ran out Of its mouth. The
performance was repeated, aided by
an occasional proddpng of the corpse
until Is snakes had been run out and
killed. The garter snake and many
kindred species, swallow their young
when moving from place to place,
and this accounts for the freakish
occurrence.

THAT TREASURY MIDDLE.

The treasury muddle seems to be-
come more muddle1 as it is more Of
ten stirred. Governor Lohgino has
now been roped into it, if there is
any confidence to be pat in the state
ment of Phil Rush. AS will be seen
below he charges the governor with
discriminating himself in the matter
by Offering to drop the matter if Mr..
Rush would resign the position OF
capitol commissioner. The governor
enters vigorous denial to this, stat
ing that no such promise was ever
made. Here is what Mr.. Rush says
of the matter as published in the
Vicksburg Herald:
when the transaction was diseov-
cred Longino sent Raiford to me at
my home in Senatobia, Miss, with a
proposition from Longino that if !
would resign the position of capitol
commissioner and the presidency of
the Mississippi Fire Insurance Asso-
citation that would be solution OF
the whole matter; that G. A. Wilson
would not then compel him to report
the shortage; that Showers and Raj
ford could continue in office. Furth-
ermore that my resignation of the
two positions had no relation what
ever to my connection, supposed or
actual, with the treasury matter. but
was solely for the benefit of Raiiord
and Showers, who were guilty tech
nically of violating the law"
If Mr.. Rush cannot supports ms
statement with the evidence be had
no right to make it and should make
an apology to the governor and the
public. But if his statement is a fact
thepublic should know II to be SO and
Mr.. Rush should make it stronger
and mere forceful.

that that city IS overrun by snakes.

It's no fish story about those dead
fish in Harvey's canal, New Orleans.
The canal is six miles long, and for
half this distance the fish are piled
thick, and they smell to heaven in
the hot July sun. People in that vi
cinity are moving out. The Lousi-
ana Cypress Lumber Co. have put
seventy-five men to work at $3.50 per
day and all the whiskey they can
drink to clear away the putrefying
masses of fish that met their death in
the salty waves washed up from the
gulf. The odor is said to be master
full, and the menace to health is as
strong. Barrels of carbolic acid and
lime are being used to relieve the dire
full situation. Brook haven Leader.

BRAG, BLOW. BLUSTER AND BUN

The effort Of the Hatiiesburg Pro-
gress to keep up courage enough To
say that Capt Hardy's chances for
election to congress are good is COM
mendable, but extremely pathetic.
You might as well begin now, BROTH
er. to become reconciled to the defeat
of your favorlte. Everything now
points to the election of Mr.. Bowers
by a big majority. The race is prac-
tically all over except tue shouting.

Why don't you do the shouting
then and finish the campaign? Some
people. have way of counting
chickens before they are Matched and
still others whistle to keep up their
courage, Brag, blow and buncombe

else to congress. The Progress knows
lust about as much OF the probable
result as the Chronicle and while
this paper is not yet prepared to an
nounce the result, prefsrring to wait
until the votes are counted, yet it
does believe that Capt. Hardy
chances are growing brighter all the
time. His friends believe he Will be
dominated The friends of the other
two candidates believe they will be
nominated, SO there you are! The
election Will decide. Meantime the
Progress will continue to advocate
the claims of Capt. Hardy because his
fitness is unauestioned and because
of what he has done for south Missis-
sppi. He deserves the place and
should have it.

MAY. MELT DOWN DOLLARS
SUBSIDIARY SILVER BILL PASSED
BY HOUSE.
Al Amendments Voted Down and
Measure Adopted a. Report
cd From Committee.

Washington, May 3O.-The house
passed the bill to increase the subsid-
larry coinage OF silver. The democrats
directed their fight chiefly against the
provision to recon the standard sill
yer dollars into subsidiary coin as pub
lie necessities might require.
A half dozen roll calls were forced.
The New York democrats voted for
the previous question, but voted with
their colleagues to recommit with in
structions to strike out the leave to
recon silver dollars.
Text Of Bill.
The text Of the subsidiary coinage
bill as follows:
That the secretary Of the treasury is
hereby authorized to coin silver bull
lion in the treasury, purchased under
the act of July IA, 1890, into such de-
nominations Of subsidiary silver coin
age as he may deem necessary to
meet public requirements; and there
after, as public necessities may de-.
mand, to recoin silver dollars into
subsidiary coin, and so much Of any
act as fixes a limit to the aggregate
Of subsidiary coin outstanding and SO
much of any act as directs the coin
age of any portion OF the bullion pur-
chased under the act Of July IA, 1890,
into standard silver dollars, is hereby
repealed.
When consideration Of the bill was
resumed, the pending question was
on the Newlands amendment to the
Grow amendment, by which it was
proposed to make silver coins, coined
under the provisions of the act, a legal
tender for all debts, public and pri-
vate.
The Newlands amendment was de-
feated, 81 to 80.
Mr.. Grows amendment providing
that the subsidiary coin should be
half and quarter dollars and ten and
fve-cent pieces of proportionate parts
Of 41k grains, was also defeated with
out division.
Without amendment the bill was re-
ported to the house. The previous
question was demanded upon the bill
to it's passage, and a roll call was had
upon the demand. The previous ques-
ton was ordered. 10 to Is. Mr.. Sha-
froth Of Colorado, then moved to re-
commit the bill with instructions to
strike out that portion of the bill re-
lating to the recoinage of silver dol
lars into subsidiary coin. The mo-
ton to recommit was lost, 106 to 81.
The bill vas then passed without d.
vision.

coiored Men Ask Assistance to Emil
CRATE TO Africa.
Chattanooga, Tenn, May 3O.-The
colored emigration and commercial
convention is now in session In this
city. A long memorial was adopted
unanimously praying congress to ap-
propriate the sum Of $500, 000, 900 to
deport such negroes as desire to leave
the United States to Africa or some
other country. The memorial is in
the form of a petition and is address,
ed to the president of the United
States and the members of congress.
The convention points out at great
length the alleged wrongs OF the me-
gro, asserting that he is not granted
the rights Of a human being in this
country, especially in the south, that
1t is bteter for him to emigrate to
some other country where he can en-
joy more freedom.
This convention will be in session
here several days. Bishop Turner Of
the African Methodist church is the
leading spirit Of the movement. Plans
are now being considered by the con-
vention to raise a fund of 100000
with which to buy ships on which.
negroes are to be trained to a sea
life. It is expected that these ships
will be used eventually to carry ne
groes to Africa o. any other country
where they may choose to settle.

PASSENGER TRAIN DITcHED.
Miraculous Escape Of Passengers on
Great Northern Flyer.

Grand Forks, May 29.-!..nc Great
Northern flyer was wrecked this
morning just this side OF Ojata, eight
miles west of here, while running at
full speed. Several coaches were pill
ed up in a heap.
The only person badly hurt Is Frank
Jefferson, mail clerk, whose back
was wrenched, but he was able to
walk back to the sleeper, which kept
the track. The engine did not leave
the rails.
A wrecking crew was at once sent
out from here, and several doctors &C
companied it. as it vas not known
how badly the passengers might be
injured.
bruised, but aside from Hefferon they
have no serious hurts.
It is supposed that the wreck was
caused by the wheels OF the tender
striking some slight obstruction. The
wreck is the worst-looking mess eve
seen in this section.
Six coaches, including everything
between the engine and sleepers,
went off, and the baggage car took
fire.
The escapes miraculous. One
man was thrown bodily through the
car door, and is unhurt save for a
few bruises. Two men were pitched
through windows, and had their
clothing torn to shreds, but have only
q few slight cuts on their persons.
The fact that more persons were
not hurt is explained by the fact that
the engine kept the track and got out
Of the way, while the coupling be-
tween. the cars broke.
Each coach swung around and fail
ed to telescope. The road will be
clear in q few hours, as most OF the
wreckage is to one side.
The mail car was thrown so feet
clear Of the track.
