THEIR LIVES
In Wreck On The Canadian
Pacific Railroad Yesterday, AT
Spanish River.
(By Associated Press.)

North Bay, Jan. 22.-The official
list given by the railroad makes the
total dead in the wreck ON the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad. at Spanish
River, yesterday, eight. Three cars
plunged down an embankment into
the river, which was covered with
twelve inches of ice.
Conductor Reynolds mounted the
roof and succeeded in pulling out lit
tie Alfonso Rousel and Police Magis-
trate Brodie, small man, through the
space between the car window and
the thick ice, only large enough to
permit the passage of small persons.
BY superhuman effort Reynolds
and other passengers tore hole in
the roof of the car through which the
passengers escaped. All that came
out alive of that car was eight.

OFFICER SHOT |
BYDESPERADO
Negro Criminal Near Magss
Shot Sheriff Hubbard And
Two Deputies.

Special to The News.
MendenAall, Miss, Jan. 22.-Sheriff
Hubbard, Of this county. was shot and
fatally wounded last night, about four
miles north OF Magee, by Tom Ross,
a negro, whom he was attempting to
place under arrest.
Ross was a mean, impudent scoun.
drel, and was under indictment for
burglary. but had been at large for
some time. He went armed with a
Winchester rifle and pistol, and had
made threats that he would kill the
first white man that attempted to ar
rest him.
Sheriff Hubbard was notified that
the negro was in hiding near Magee,
and was preparing to leave the coun.
try. Accompanied by his chief dep
-uty, A. B. Magee, he left on the aft
ernoOn train for Magee, where they
secured a posse of citizens and went
to the place where the negro was con.
cealed. Surrounding the cabin with
deputies, the sheriff went to the front
door and forced it open, when he was
met by number of shots from the
inside, the first shot striking the
sheriff in the stomach. fatally wound
ing him. Two of the sheriff's posse
also received slight wounds. The ne.
gro in attempting to escape was shot
twice by Deputy Magee and instantly
killed.
Sheriff Hubbard was carried to Ma
gee this morning, where he was op-
Grated on by Drs Walker, of Magee;
Giles, of this place, and Gibson, of
Braxton. At last accounts his condi-
tion was thought to be critical and lit
tie hopes of recovery are entertained.
Sheriff Hubbard is one of the young
est officials in the State and is re-
garded as one of the most diligent Of
ficials the county ever had. He is
very popular with the people, and the
unfortunate affair has cast a gloom
over the entire county.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 22.-The Missis-

the questionable distinction of being
the states largest building, has asked
the legislature to increase its pro rata
from S125 to $3.50 per patient, and the
matter is now pending before the
house committee on appropriations.
The increased amount. according to
the authorities of the institution, is
made necessary by the Increased cost
Of living, and the need OF better equip
ment at the institution, the installa-
tiOn of more modern methods of treat
ment, etc.
The hospital report shows an aver
age of nearly 1,5eN patients treated
during the past year. and there is also
an urgent need for more room, the
wards being flied TO overfowing, and
no more patients can be admitted ex.

IN SESSION 3 WEEKS
ONLY one BILL SIGNED
Revenue and Appropriated Bills viii
Be Given Right Of way over Every
thing, and Little Else is Expected
to Be Accomplished.

Special to The NcUs.
Jackson, Miss, Jan GA very
strong inclination to consider no
measure save revenue and appropria-
ton bills Is manifesting itself among
members of the Mississippi legisla-
ture, and the prediction is being made
that when sine-die adjournment is
reached the journals will show an ex-
ceedingiy small number of general
laws enacted.
The legislature has been in session
three weeks, and the only bill that has
passed the two houses and received
the signature of the governor is H. B.
No. 4, carrying $S7, 500 to defray the
pcr diem and contingent expenses of
members of the body.
The senate calendar has only eight
bills pending for third reading and
the house calendar not more than
twice that number. This summary in
cludes the local and private bills that,
when called up from the caleHdar,
can be passed by unanimous consent.
Since the lawmakers convened
more than $50 bills on various sub
jects have been introduced in the two
houses. Less than ten per cent of
the working committees have held
sessions for the consideration of bills
referred to them.
The Reason Why.
! This disinclination to enact special
or general laws is attributed of
course, to the senatorial contest.
which has been holding the center of
the stage since the opening day. How
ever, the fight for McLaurins toga
is not the only reason why the law
makers have not settled down to rou-
tine work. The opinion prevails
among large number of members.
and ii is steadily growing in strength,
that Mississippi can get along with a
very small number of new laws: that.
in spite of the large number of bills
introduced, there are only few sub
jects that demand serious considera-
ton, and these can be quickly dis
posed of after the working commit
tees have submitted their reports.
According to veteran lawma x ers,
very little in the way of actual legis-
lative work can be expected rptil. the
senatorial contest is disposed n 4a1u1
after that matter is out of tH<0e11f
the legislature will finish up t.
with rush, giving revenue
preparation bills the right of "
leaving on the calendars prad
all the general legislation this
been proposed W
At former legislative sittings
than ten per cent of the bills
duced have been favorably acted
and when the present session adjov
this ratio will be decidedly lower
