Historical Society.

Historical Society. n.
Prof. Franklin L. Riley, secretary
OF the Mississippi Historical Socic-
ty, announces that the executive
committee of the society has decided.
to hold the seventh annual public
meeting Of the society in jackson
during the first week of the legisla-
ture next January. This particular
time has been suggested because Of
the fact that in addition to the men,
bers of the legislature, there will be.
a great many prominent men in
jackson, attracted by the opening
of the next legislature, which will
be an epoch-making body. It is
the purpose of tho executive COM
mittee to make this meeting the
most interesting and instructive, if
possible, in the history of the socie-
ty. One of the features to be aimed
at especially will be historical papers
on the subject of reconstruction in
the various counties of the State.
The exact date of the meeting will
be announced later, as soon as a
program can be arranged.
Tewn Marshal Killed.
r. p. ellis, marshal of the town
OF Summit, Was killed last week by
Pat Marsh. Several rumors are cur
rent but the one most reliable is to
the effect that Joe McCurly and Pat
Marsh were raising d disturbance in
a store over gun, both being under
the influence Of whisky, when the
marshal arrested ,McCurly and
started with him to Jail. Then Marsh
picked up the gun and fred either
at the marshal or McCurly, hitting
the marshal with full load of shot
In the back of the head, blowing his
brains out and killing him instantly.
Marsh then disappeared in the
woods. Gillis was one Of the oldest
town marshals in the State, and
stood well. Marsh is about 25 years
old and considered a fairly good
man when not under the influence
Of drink. He was afterwards appre-
hendcd at johnson Station and is
now in jail. McCurly gave himself
up and is also in Jail at Magnolia.
There is some talk of lynching, but
doubtless better judgment will pre-
vail.
The Industrial Situation.
The industrial situation in Mis-
sissippi appears t. be all that it
should be. Reports are being re-
ceived from various towns in the
State to the effect that enterprises
are being put on foot by home peo-
pie. The number of charters pre-
sented to the governor for approval
shows no falling off. Banks, lumber
companies, mercantile companies,
and every other form of enterprise
are seeking charters from the State.
Some Of these companies are extern
sive, one charter having been grant
ed last week to a lumber company
located at Gulfport with capital
in excess Of 100000.

Hon. s. NJ. Roane's Death.

Much regret is expressed through
out the State over the death of Hon.
s. M. Roane, of West Point, one of
the most prominent, members of the
North Mississippi bar, and law part
ner of ex-Congressman A. F. Tox.
Mr.. Roane had been in ill health for
several months, and it was his se-
rious illness that caused the retire
ment of Mr.. Fox from the race for
governor last summer. The deceas-
cd was native of Webster county.

jackson Banks PROSPEROUS.

During the next month the four
banking institutions of Jackson will
hold the annual meeting of their
stockholders and directors for the
purpose of reviewing the business
of the past year and declaring divi-
dends. Inquiry among the local fin
anciers reveals a unanimous conclu-
sion to the effect that business has
been more prosperous during the Pc
riod than at any other previous time
in the city's history. The volume
of loans has been largely increased
and easily collected, and in all
branches the business has been of a
most satisfactory nature. Taken in
the aggregate, the banks of jackson
declare larger dividends than any
other financial institutions in the
State, and goodly increase is ex-
pected when the meetings are held
next month.

Rubber Bottle of Glycerin.

Instead of rs pounds of steel
tools the modern bank inlet carries
rubber bottle of nitroglycerin,
such as was found at Rankin. Pa;
a cake of brown soap, fuse and a
handful of decorating caps. The
door of the safe Is blown of-not
pried off-and the man who does 1t
is not the we'll dressed high living
crook of old, but a tramp, hobo,
an outcast even In the society OF
crime.
They are called "yegg men," In
recognition OF the discoveries and
exploits of John Yegg, a California
tramp, who some years ago read IN
a government report of an expert
ment which had been made to show
that safe doors could be blows OFT
with nitroglycerin. Yegg made
up his mind that If Uncle Sam
could DO 1t he could do, and he did.
As crime after crime was perpe-
trated by this method the crooks
and the police got to saying
That's another Yegg job" AND
so the name of Johnny Yegg goes
down to posterity.
