He said the bill was intended to better regulate the system of mining, to in- crease the efficiency of the chief oper- ators. and to prevent all unnecessary accidents. The bill provides a strict regulation of explosives, according to MT. O'Neill. and throws every possible safeguard around the workmen. MT ONeil declared that all mine explo- sions were usually the result of care iessness and that miners are the only class of workmen in the world that have no adequare protection thrown around them. In concluding, MT. O'Neill offered his bill as a substitute to the Hollis measure.
 Mr Martin of Jackson followed MT. O'Nefl in the discussion Of the bill. MT. Martin said that while MT. ONeill had offered his bill as substitute to the Hollis measure he had not shown that lis bill was superior to that measure The Jackson representative declared that he favored the Hollis bill, which he re- garded as one of the best measures of its kind in existence He said the Hollis bill had been modelled after mining bills in 10 other states, and that, with suitable he thought this bill would suit every mining condition which the state had to confront. MT. Martin then moved to table the O'Nell substitute which motion prevailed by a vote of Ss to 20.

Men Who Cut Him-TWo

William HiXon, the young white
man who was twice stabbed in the
back Tuesday night at Poplar and
Eighteenth streets, is resting fairly
well at ST. Mays Inirmary. The
wounds he received at the hands OF a
negro or negroes are considered dan
gerous and the outcome does not look
encouraging TO his friends. In a
conversation with Hixon yesterday,
friend states, he does not seem to
want TO very strongly blame any one
for the trouble he got into. putting
as much blame on himself as upon
the negro or negroes who are sup.
posed to have done the cutting.
The negro RUDE Atkins, viii is sup
posed to have been the cuttist, was
arrested shortly after the occurrenc
and placed in jail Later anothe
negro named Robert Roberts was
also arrested as an accessory and

TRIED TO GET HIS ROLL
Four Men Tried to Rob Capt. Nichols

CAPT, Clareuce Nichols, the we'll

perience early Tuesday morning IN
the general waiting roc/l of the Hi
nois Central railroad while purchas-
ing ticket for Memphis where he
was called by a message instructing
him to report at Memphis to bring up
a boat for the Combine. He went to
the station about 2 o'clock a. m. to
buy a ticket for Memphis. In paying
for the ticket he flashed yoll Of bills
while standing in front Of the ticket
window As he did so four white men
who were standing near made rush
for the roll. He reached out his big
arms and with mighty sweep, being
a big and powerful man, he brushed
them aside and instantly pulled out
his gun, big As, and pointing it at
the men, ordered them 10 get out
which they did in quick order ana
they soon disappeared around the
corner. Capt Nichols train left soon
after the occurrence and he had no
time to trace up the would-be robbers
or inform the police Of the circum-
stance. He claimed two of the me /
were Cairo toughs ana he could
