MISSISSIPPI SLAVERY
The Rescue of A Negro From Con.
 dition of Servitude.

Jackson. Miss. March 1O.--Shep Griggin. a negro. is in jail at Meridian, having been taken from certain per- sons in Kemrer county, who, it is charged, held him in forced servitude. This is the first substantial charge of neonage that has come to the atten- tion of the United States officers in Mississippi, and it is learned that the neighborhood where the arrests were made is in a state of excitement.
 While the officials decline to discuss the matter. it is learned from other sources that the parties charged with the offense not only have made threats that they would kill the negro and the deputies who arrested him, but wou d also kill the witnesses against them and burn their property.
 Reputable white citizens of Kemper county brought this case to the atten- ton of the United States marshal, as- surfing him that the negro had been stripped and whipped for leaving the premises of those who held him. So severe was the beating, that his cloth ing stuck for several days to the gashes made by the lash. On his sec ond escape it is alleged that he fled into Nessobal county, where he was recaptured. pistols were drawn on him. a rope was placed around his neck and fastened to the saddle of one of his captors, and he was dragged and driv- en iEto Kemper county.

HAIR TRIGGER SITUATION
There is Quiet at Springfield But
 Isn't Guaranteed.

Springfield, Ohio. March 10.-The race disturbances which have been go- ing on for the past three days as the result of the murder of Patrolman Collins and the lynching of the negro Dixon, who shot Collins, are we'll in check by thirteen companies of state militia, and the authorities are of the opinion at 9:2O that no more troops will be needed to control the situ1- ton.
 There are signs that there is an ugly feeling on the part of the men and boys who have composed the mobs of the past three days, and the author ities realize that the shooting of either a white man or a negro or even a street fight between men of opposite races would be sufficient to again stars the mob on a killing and burn- ing expedition.
 Tn the opinion of City Solicitor Ia tum neither the city nor county can be held responsible for the burning of the levee district by the mob. A special grand jury will sit Monday to investi- gate the lynching. but it is thought it will be impossible to indict the leaders of the mob which did the lynchfng.

A Little Less Angry Than

AGAINST MIR. BRISTOW
A General Investigation Which Would Have Been Ordered on Wednesday Has Been Averted But Members of Congress May Clear Themselves.

Washington. March 1O.-The repub- lican leaders in the house have ar ranged plan for an investigation of the connection of members of that body with the postoffice. The inves- tigation, if the plan succeeds. is to b. conducted bg a special committee .o be appointed by the speaker.
 Each person whose case is taken up by the committee will be given an op- portunity to be heard. In this way it is believed that the injustice done them by the publication of the reports by the postotfice department may b. remedied. The indignation al the present publication of the report has by no means subsided and the general belief is that had Q. vote been taken during the session yesterday the dem ocratic proposition for an investiga- tion of the whole postcffice deDar;- ment would have prevailed.
