The senate has passed a bin of
much interest to the educators and
school teachers of the State. 1t
changes the time for holding the ex-
aminations Of teachers to the Fridays
and Saturdays of the last two weeks
in October, and the same days of the
first four weeks in April. This makes
all examinations held, both for white
and colored teachers, within a period
of two months, instead of having the
dates scattered about through the year.

TWENTIETH DAY.

At the session of the senate this
morning the committee on local anC
private legislation made an unfavor
able report on the Groom bill, author
izing the city Of Jackson to issue
bonds in the sum of $250,000 for the
purpose Of erecting a new water works
plant.
The report of the committee created
surprise, as the bill was carefully
framed by Judge R. H. Thompson, the
city attorney, and was unquestionably
in proper legal form. Inquiry among
members of the committee brings the
statement that the unfavorable report
was made because, in the opinion of
the committee, a special legislative act
Is not necessary to give the city the
proper authority to make the bond is
sue. The members believe that the
code chapter on municipalities gives
all the authority necessary, and there.
fore they reported that the bill do not
pass"
Notwithstanding this report, the
members of the city council will insist
on the passage of the bill, to make
the authority doubly sure, and prevent
the questf IN of i~nvalidity being
brought up when the bonds are placed
on the ma rket. The proposed issue,
If made, will draw 5 per cent inter
est and run for a period Of twenty
years.
Inspecting Colleges.
The members of the house commit
tee on universities and colleges left
last night for oxford, where they will
investigate the needs of the University
of Mississippi before passing on the

mittee, lthe personnel being as fol

TWENTY.FIRST DAY,

The only matter Of general interest
before the lower house of the legis
lature today was the memorial exer
cises held in honor of the late Hon
A. j. Russell, of La%uderdale, speaker
of the body during the last admins,
tration. Several eloquent tributes tc
the memory Of the deceased and much.
loved statesman were delivered.
Mr.. Tucker introduced a bill ilcreas.
ing the ad Valorum tax on property
Tor road purposes, not to exceed two
mills on the dollar in any one year.
The senate was engaged chiefly
with local and private bills and edu.
cational measures. The bill authoriz-
Ing county boards Of supervisors and
trustees of school districts to dispose
of certain funds vas passed without
opposition, Quite a debate ensued on
the measure raising the salaries of
county superintendent of education.
The committee on education reported
favorably on the bill providing for a
uniform system of school books, and
the measure will be made a special
order for some day next week.
Night Session.
The only measure Of general inter.
est passed by the senate at the even
ing session before adjournment was
an act prescribing the penalty on tele.
graph companies by failure to deliver
messages. No change is made in the
statutory penalty of $25 for such fail
ures, but the bill passed provides that
this penalty shall be collected when
the company fails to transmit the mes
sage.
Heretofore the burden has been on
the receiving office, and no penalty
could be collected when there was de.
lay in the transmission of the mes
sage from the sending Office.
The senate Judiciary committee has
made a favorable report on the bill
appropriating $4,000 attorneys fees
to defend the boundary dispute be-
tween Mississippi and Louisiana, now
pending in the United States Supreme
Court. This case will not be called
October.

TWO MEN ARE KILLED
IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT
Touring Car and Train Collide With
Fatal Results at a Railroad
Crossing


ROCKVILLE CENTER, L. l., July
13.-James Snyder Of Brooklyn and
Frank j. CorTell Of Amity, Ill, were
instantly killed and a man believed to
be ]. w. Jewell of Brooklyn was so
badly injured that he died soon after
as the result of a collision. between
big touring automobile and a train on
the Long Island Railroad at Merrick
road crossing tonight.
The Merrick road and the railroad
tracks run for long distance side by
side, but in Rockville Center the road
crosses the tracks at an acute angle,
making an unusually long and danger
Gus crossing. The automobile with it's
occupants was apparently racing with
the train and was ahead as it ap-
preached the crossing. Persons IA
miliar with the road who watched the
race expected the car to slow up, but
instead it's speed was increased. The
flagman at the crossing waved his flag
as a warning and the engineer of the
train, which was going at full speed.
reversed the engine and blew his
whistle, but the automobile shot on
into the turn and upon the track. The
man believed to be Jewell was thrown
high in the air and landed sixty feet
from the rails. His skull was crushed
in, one leg was broken and he was
otherwise injured. He died an hour
after the accident.
The car with its other two occupants.
crushed in the wreckage, was carried
400 feet on the cowcatcher Of the loco
motive and then dropped down and
was dragged some distance under it.
