STIRRING SCENES
AT THE WINDUP
SIGNS BILLS WITHOUT QUORUM
PRESENT.
LEGISLATIVE FAREWELL.
Presiding officers Set Watches Back
an Hour to Make Time. Merger
Bill Dead fqp Two Years at Least.
Garter Relief nv Law.
MONDAY.

Both the House and Senate convened
this afternoon. There was no quorum
in either branch when the presiding
officers called the bodies to order.
When the large batch of bills were
sent over to the House this afternoon
by the Senate. Mr. Joe George, of
Yazoo, raised the point Of order. that
there was no quorum present. He did
this on account of the refusal of the
Senate to send over the Merger Bill,
which wass disposed of Saturday, OBJ
section having been made to sending it
over by Senator Groom, as he had a
right TO do, for the Senate was still
working this afternoon under Satur-
days journal. s
Mr.. George offered to compromise,
stating that if no point was raised on
the Merger Bill, he would not raise
the point on the other bills.
The Constitution requires that the
bills shall be signed by the presiding
VihSOAS VI ootA AOuSOS, III tue pICScIlCe
Of quorum and, In the absence Of
quorum, if the point is raised, no bills
can be signed.
Representative George made the fol-.
lowing statement:
When the House convened / was
recognized by the Speaker, and said
that / was perfectly willing not to
make the point Of lack OF a quorum
If all the members present would agree
to do the same. All the members pres
ent signiied their assent to the prop
osition, except three, aud | then an
nounced that | would make the point
on all legislation, and would not suffer
three men to have the bills they favor
ed passed, and kill those they did not
favor. My object was to make the
point early, SO that absent members
could be reached with notices in time
to be here tomorrow, so that all bills
passed by the legislature might be pre-
sented to the governor for his approx
al, and to prevent two or three men
from controlling the House."

MISSISSIPPI.
Details of the Assault on the Little
Dale Child.

The town of Columbia has been
thrown into fever of excitment, be-
cause Of an assault upon the little z
year-old daughter Of I. S. Dale, one
of the prominent young attorneys of
that place, by young negro named
Bill Pace. The residence of Mr.. Dale
is nearly a mile from the town, and
the little girl and her younger brother
were just outside Of the yard in the
edge of the woods, when the negro
who had been employed on the prem
ises about week is said to have came
up to them and proceeded to undress
the little girl, at the same time try
ing to carry her farther into the
woods. The little boy ran to the house
to tell his mother, and the negro then
released the little girl, after threat
ening to kill and cut her to pieces if
she told what had happened. He also
followed her into the house, and called
to Mrs. Dale, with the supposed inten-
ton Of trying to get her out Of the
house to kill her and preent any
alarm. AS soon as the father and rel
atives were appraised of the circum-
stance, they Immediately proceeded to
gather crowd to scour the negro
quarters Of the neighborhood Three
of the searching party found him at a
negro house about three and a half
miles north of Columbia, about IL
O'Clock at night, and were returning
with him towards Columbia when
about one mile from town, and before
they had reached the rendezvous agreed
upon for the hanging, they were in
tercepted by Deputy Sheriff T. T..
Ford, who presented his pistol and
demanded the prisoner. He seated
the negro behind him on his horse and
made the run to Columbia in quick
time, where the negro was placed in
Jail and strong guard set around it..
Next day it developed upon examina-
ton by the family physician, that the
little girl had been outraged beyond
all question, and feeling soon became
so high that Sheriff Magee, knowing
the temper of the people, and fearing
for the safety of the Jail and the 9TH
er prisoners now there, three of whom
are under indictment for murder,
quietly made arrangements to leave
with the prisoner for Jackson.

Carter Relief Bill a Law.
Governor Vardaman let the Carter
Relief Bill become law without his
signature. l doing so he sent the fol-
lowing letter to both houses:
81 have considered Senate Bill No.
224, entitled AN act to make an ap-
preparation out Of the funds of the
state treasury for the relief Of J. w.
Carter, of Kemper county, and to au-
-thorize and empower the Board Of SUI
pervisors Of Kemper county to allow
the claim Of the said j. w. Carter, and
in its discretion to provide for the
payment Of the same, and herewith
return it without my signature. There
must be equities in this bill which /
have been unable to discover, Judging
from the action of the legislature up
on it. For that reason, and fearing
that an injustice might be done pri-
vate citizen, [ have restrained from
using the veto, but have determined to
defer to the decision of the legisla-
ture and permit the bill to become
law without the governors signature.
~ am unalterably opposed to this
character of legislation, and 1 wish
to call to the attention of this legisla-
ture the pressing necessity for enact
ing a general law providing for the
settlement of all such cases by the
courts Of the state. The courts are or
gained and sit In the counties where
the parties to the controversy usually
reside and the issue arises, and, there
fore, if given authority by the legisla-
ture, can better obtain the facts, and
in their determination can approach
nearer absolute justice than any other
tribunal. The iniquity of local and
private legislation was emphasized by
the constitutional convention on that
subject"
Carter is the former sheriff of KEN
per county, and was checked up short
by the revenue agent some years ago.
Four years ago similar bill was pass
ed by the legislature and vetoed by
Governor Longino.

WONDERS AT APATHY.
Woman Puzzled at Lack Of interest In
Oregon Mines.

A woman, who is a practical miner.
who owns large mineral interests and
who trangacts her own business, Mrs.
Charles o. Andrew, of LaPorte. Ind,
expresses wonderment at the apathy
existing relative to development of the
mines of Oregon. Mrs. Andrew says
she found in Chicago more general in.
terest in the mineral resources of
this state than among the merchants
and other mining men of the Webfoot
metropolis. Mrs. Andrew but lately
came to Oregon from the East, but
will make her home here. She is
quoted as having said recently in
Portland:
Il heard more in a three-weeks' trip
to Chicago from my home at La Porte
of oregon's wonderful mines than l
have heard since l came here. Your
business men do not know, and It APP.

why is it that Oregon has not a
larger population than she has? Just
compare the state with Washington.
Oregon was admitted to the Union in
1859 and in 1900 is credited with a
population of Alb $50, while Washing
ton was admitted in 1889, and had a
population in 1900 of 51S,1OS. or over
100 900 more than Oregon. I claim it
is the lack of push and energy of
Portland's business men that this
state of affairs is due.

composed of people who are demented,

1t further alleges that at the Holy

The petitioner prays that the court
will authorize the arrest Of Urana
Seeley, who is an orphan, and will
commit her to the care of the Boys

The Holy Rollers are denounced in
scathing terms that border on the sen.
