THIRrY.FouRTH DAY.

A very strong and somewhat uneX-
spected opposition to the Wells va
grancy bill, passed by the house some
time ago, was developed wnen the
measure was taken up in the senate
this morning. So pronounced wasitffe
opposition that the friends of the bill
asked leave to make it a special order
for Tuesday, which was done. The
impression seems to prevail in the
minds of some members that the dras-
tic and stringent features are likely
to be abused by petty officers and JUS
tees of the peace.
The senate concurred in the house
amendment to. the bill authorizing the
lower levee board to issue $1,000,000
in bonds, and also the house amend
ments to the senate measure provid-
ing for the establishment of branch
agricultural experiment stations.
The house spent the entire morn
ing on the privilege tax bill, the chief
features of which were the exemption
to ex-Confederates and the tax on in
surance agents.
For the first time since the legisla-
ture convened both bodies were in SEES

Signing Bills.

Gov. Vardaman is keeping well up
with the bills passed by the two
houses, and only few enrolled meas
ures are on his desk awaiting examinas
ton. Last week the governor signed
the bills changing the ONCE hours Of
the secretary of State, auditor and al.
torney general, so as to exclude the
noon dinner hour, the bill creating the
new county of Lamar and several To-
cal and private measures.
The Greenville times. [volume] (Greenville, Miss.) 1868-1917, 1904-03-05

AS the legislature enters upon the
eighth week of its existence little
has been accomplished. Only one bill
of a general nature has passed both
houses, that being the general school
appropriation BILL which carries with
it an appropriation of $1,500,000.
There has been no dearth of bills in
troduced in either branch of the legis-
lature. In the house there have been
$50 bills introduced, and in the senate
295. The indications are that before
the time for adjournment has rolled
around there will have been intro
duced in both branches over 1000
bills. A number of appropriation bills
have passed either one branch or the
other, but no money can be secured on
them until they have passed both
branches, and are signed by the gov
crnor.
All the schools, colleges, benevolent
institutions, State officers, penitentiary
employees and clerks of the different
departments have been without cent
of money for two months. They have
not drawn any money since their De-
cember salaries. The new governor
has not been able to draw cent. The
general appropriation bill, which car
ries with it their salaries, has been in
troduced and it is supposed it will
come up in the house some time soon.
1t will then have to go to the senate
for passage, and it will be some time
in March before the State officers,
their clerks, the Supreme Court
judges, chancellors and district attor-
neys can get any money. The peniten-
tiary is also suffering for some money,
as it is running entirely on credit
now. The house has passed a special
appropriation bill for two months ex-
penses until the general bill, providing
for the two years, can be passed, but
as yet it has not been taken up by the
senate.
With the present amount of work in |
sight it is hard to see how the legisla- |
ture can get away from Jackson under |
four or ave weeks longer. There are
many bills which are coming up which |
will provoke argument, and there will |
be no end of debate, which will con-
sumo good deal of time. In the
meantime the committees of both
houses are killing a great many bills.
Out of the thousand odd bills, which
will be introduced during the session,
it is doubtful if exceeding IT'S will be
enacted into law.

THIRTY.EIeHTH DAY.

With but little opposition shown,
the lower house this morning passed
the bill appropriating 100000 for the
first year and $12,500 for the second
year to support the Confederate home
at Beauvoir. The measure provides
that not exceeding $3.50 per capita
shall be spent on the inmates Of the

CARB0LIC ACID
Corporal Cawley Of Coast
Artillery Kills Himself
in Spite of Wife's Efforts
HE DIES AT HER FEET
She Is Severely Burned on
the Face by the Poison
Spilled During the Scuffle

Corporal William H. Cawley swal-
lowed carbolic acid yesterday morning
despite the struggles of his wife to pre-
vent it and died within a few minutes.
Some of the corrosive fluid was spilled
on the left side of her face, burning
her severely.
Cawley was 26 years old and a MEM
Der of the Seventeen Company Of Coast
Artillery. He had been eight years in
the army and had only year and four
months more to serve. He married his
wife during his present term Of enlist
ment and was very anxious to obtain
his discharge from the army. Mrs.
Cawley was working as waitress in
the Palm restaurant, on Market street,
and says that she gave Captain john
son $65 as necessary expenses for the
obtaining of her husbands discharge.
Colonel Morris disapproved of the ap-
plication and Captain Johnson returned
the money to Mrs. Cawley.
Cawley was very morose over the
failure to obtain his discharge, and set
tied into a chronic meiancholia. He
left his wife's room at 1926 Pierce street
yesterday morning a little before Z
o'clock and returned in a few minutes
with package in his hand as she was
starting for her work. In answer to her
question as to the package he replied
that 1t was bottle of liniment. Divin-

CUE IS GIVEN
IN GRAIN CASE
Attorney Dunno Gives Init
nation of the Line of De-
tense in the Eppinger Case

During the trial of the Eppinger case
strong clew as to the line Of defense.
He intimated that as the papers by
which it is alleged that money was
fraudulently obtained were not signed
by the defendant, but by Bernard Eft
linger. the wrong man was being pros
ecuted.
The case is dragging along slowly,
and the greater portion of the day was
occupied in arguing on technical points.
enlivened only by an occasional inter-
change of compliments between oppos-
ing counsel. Frank S. Mitchell, who
for a number of years was employed
as bookkeeper for Eppinger & Co. and
at present is assisting Mr.. Wadsworth,
the receiver of the defunct firm, was
recalled to the stand yesterday morn
ing. The prosecution questioned him
regarding certain books which he had
previously stated were in Eppinger &
Co.'S Office and might have been the
grain books of the Pacific Warehouse
Company. He stated, however, that he
not the missing grain books. What has
become of these books is a mystery
They disappeared at the time Of the
failure of the firm, and all attempts to
locate them have proved futile. In
these books was kept a record of the
grain actually in the warehouse, and if
fraud has been committed they would
be of immeasurable value to the prose-
cution.
Another witness, H. c. Bunker, grain
inspector for the Merchants Exchange,
testified as to the shipment of the spe-
cific lots of wheat on which the money
was loaned. He said that on December
8 he went to Crockett at the request of
the grain committee of the Merchants
Exchange to examine some wheat, and
while there saw lots z 707 and 70S
weighed and loaded on the bark Pierre
Lott. This was four months before the
loan was made on warehouse receipts
for these lots of wheat. The witness
wished TO refresh his memory regarding
the location Of grain piles from a letter
press copy Of memoranda made by
himself, but this was not permitted,
and he was excused until the original
can be secured.
J. ]. McAvoy, a deputy grain in
spector, testified that he had delivered
a blank form for report as to the
amount of grain on hand at the office
of the Pacific Coast Warehouse Com
pany on the first of each month, and
they were always returned to him prop
erly filled out by the bookkeeper. He
had never received one from either of
the Eppingers of from Mr. Ettlinger.
The case was continued until Mon
day, and in the meantime the jurors
will be taken out for an airing to some
point they may select within the city
limits

Uses Wagon for Pilferings.

Isaac Blackman, aged II, was ar
rested yesterday by Policemen Rourke
and Herring and locked UP in the
tanks at the City Prison pending an
investigation. He had a horse and
wagon with him and in the wagon
were two hair mattresses, a pair of
blankets and other articles, which he
admitted he had stolen from the base
ment of house on McAllister street.
He was taken to police headquarters
and on being questioned said he had
been stealing articles from easements
in the Western Addition for some time
and selling them to secondhand deal
ers. Detectives O'Dea and Mulcahy
were detailed on the case and Black
man agreed to take them to the places
where he had been stealing articles.
