Sensational Penitentiary Charges
Bring on Spirited Debate.
Jackson, Mis*, Jan. 23.—A spirited
debate, mingled with no small amount
of bitterness and factionalism, occur
red on the floor of the senate yester-
oay afternoon over the charges of
fraud, corruption, mismanagement and
juggling of bookkeeping brought
against the officers of the Mississippi
penitentiary by the legislative investi
gating committee.
Senator George openly charged that
Warden Parchman now occupies the
attitude of an accused thief; that a po
litical attempt is being made to side
track the charges, and particularly the
Art^ms resolution, which demands an
immediate suspension of the warden;
that a large amount of lobbying is in
piogiess to quash the matter, and that
the senate owes it to the people as a
duty of common decency to take? im
mediate action.
Senator Dulaney , took the floor and
claimed that Warden Parchman has
cleared himself of the charges brought,
and in his statement he was flatly
contradicted by benator Moore, chair
man of the investigation committee,
ao declared that the committee
would amply substantiate all charges
brought.
senator Adams, author of the resolu
tion, insisted that the rottenness be
probed to the bottom, regardless of
wno may be affected.
The debate at several junctures was
quite threatening, there was great con
fusion in the lobby and the presiding
officer was compelled several times
to call the senate to order. It was
finally decided to make the matter
the special order of Wednesday af
ternoon.

BODY KEPT f-OR WEEKS.
New York Woman Had Horror of Be
ing Buried Alive.
New York, Jan. 21.—For more than
two weeks the body of Miss Julia
White has remained unburied at the
home of her parents in the village of
Gaines, says a Rochester, N. Y., spe
cial to The Journal and Advertiser.
Her dying request was that burial
should not take place until it was ab
solutely certain that she was dead.
How soon the interment will occur
has not yet been announced. Her
death took place Jan. 4, and two days
later the funeral services were held
at the family residence. Friends of
the family say the face of the dead
woman bears an extremely lifelike ap
pearance, notwithstanding the fact
that the family have not permitted the
undertaker in charge to use any em
balming fluid or other preservative.
During her life of about 30 years Miss
White often expressed great dread
and fear of being buried alive.

his brother by heirs oi Robert Stafford,
the Sea Island cotton king, sajs Tae
World.
The suit will be to secure title to
Cumberland island, off the coast ot
Georgia, which Mr. Carnegie and his
sister-in-law have made a beautiful
park and mid-sea home. The fact
that the Stafford heirs had any claim
to the property was discovered by ac
cident. In the papers on file in the case
it is alleged that Robert Stafford
bought the island now in dispute in
1848. He had $300 at that time and
went to the island to raise cotton. In
the second year of his work there he
was married. His wife was Elizabeth
Barnaby, famed as the "White Slave.
She was employed by a Georgia plant
er and her ancestors were white, but
she had been sold into slavery and an
action was pending at the time to se
cure her freedom. Robert Stafford
fell in love with her, purchased her
freedom and made her his wife. It is
the descendants of this woman and
Robert Stafford who are now contend
ing for the $2,000,000.
Robert Stafford died in New London.
Conn., about 15 years ago. He left
four daughters. Mrs. Mary Palmer,
wife of Dr. Palmer, of London; Ada,
countess of Zivv.’ki. of Paris; Mrs. Ma-
dora Vosburg, of New York, and Airs.
Frederick P. Engels, of Lynbrook, L. I.
The property was sold by an execu
tor of the Stafford estate. Attorneys
made a trip to St. Alarys, where the
deed was on file. The deed is clearly
defective, they say. The Carnegies
paid $45,000 for the island.
