Jackson, Miss, February 2l.-(Speclal.)- Several very important matters were dls- posed of by the house yesterday. among them the Juvenile Reformatory and Indus trial Training school The senate passed this measure several days since, and when

 there were few who imagined it would be tbrottled. but it was. The original bill was offered by MT. Donald in the senate, MT. Harwell offered d substitute In the house and moved it's adoption, but MT. owen succeeded in getting in an amend ment to the substitute that changed us entire purpose-the establishment or the Juvenile reformatory-and the friends of the measure voted against their own bill when the amendment had been tackled on.
 This amendment authorized the trus- tees of the penitentiary to arrange Tor the care of convicts under 21 years Of age, and had no reference whatever to re- formatory or training school such as was demanded in the senate and house bills' The debate was warm and at times acri- monious, MT.

MATTERS DISPOSED
 OF BY MISSISSIPPI HOUSE

ever, the house took noon recess and on
 reassembling thought better of itself and
 voted to indefinitely postpone the whore
 atory bill which was the demand of
 the women and benevolent organizations
 of the state.
 Another interesting matter acted on ad-
 versely was the proposition to pay the
 expenses of the veterans to Gettysburg 10
 attend the fiftieth anniversary of the great
 battle fought therea bouts between the
 northern and southern forces, and in
 which Mississippi troops are said to have been the leaders and where they lost many brave men and officers. The idea was to have the state pay their railroad rare going and coming. the veterans to be the
 guests of Pennsylvania while there, but the house tabled the measure. subject 10 | call and 1t may be that such Mississippi veterans as attend this love feast between the Blue and the Gray will have to pay their own expenses.
 The lines were frightened up on the blind tigers and the sellers of intoxicants by the passage of two or three measures in-
 creasing the fines and jail sentences and placing violators of the prohibition laws l in first second and third class. For the | first offense the guilty are to pay mod crate fine, for the second, about double, | from 800 to $500 and three months in Inc | county jail, but on the third round the | crime of selling liquor is made felony 1 and the guilty party goes to the peniten- | tiary three to five years.
