Montgomery, January 31.-(Special.)-
Admiration which the legislature of Ala
bama felt for the late Col E. L. Rus
sell, vice president and general counsel
for the Mobile and Ohio railroad, found
expression in both houses of the state
body this afternoon when the legislature
adjourned after a short elaboration of
scarcely more than one hour out of re-
speet for the memory of the lamented Of
fetal. Resolution providing that both
houses adjourn for the day was offered
by Representative Waddell of Russell
county, ard enthusiastically passed by the
representatives.
In the senate the same quick sympathy
was accorded when that body concurred
in the resolution, postponing deliberations
from the hour of 100 o'clock this after
noon to IL O'Clock tomorrow morning.
The popular railroad official was always
one of the most familiar figures in the no.
tel lobbies of this city, and because of
this both houses expressed themselves
as suffering a personal loss in the death
of the distinguished Albanian.
