10 IT COST HALF A MILLION. THE GOVERNMENT Bl ILDIJG STOOD VXCLE SAJI A PRETTY PEJJY. Aftfiit M. J. Solomons Turned Over the Ileniti&nt of Hi* Heceliit* From the Government Yesterday Morning—He Has Paid Out Since July, ISB4. His Dishursemeut* Do Jot Include the Jloney Paid for the Ground >ur for Parniture Neither Do They Include Cost of Lot and Foundation* on York and Aber corn Street*. In accordance with an order of the treasury department. Mr. M. J- Solomons deposited In the Merchants’ National Banit yesterday morning, sl, Sol. 04 being the amount remaining on hand with him. as disbursing agent of the govern ment. after the c of payments for the construction of the I nited States Postoffice and Court House. The total amount of remittances receiv ed by Mr. Solomons during his tenure of office as disbursing agent was $365,300 Less the amount deposited by him yes terday to the credit of the treasury de partment. he has actually expended for the building the sum of There remains still an account of sl%, which has been passed for payment by the de partment, but which for some reason has never been paid. This debt will be paid, probably, by the custodian of the build ing. as Mr. Solomons has completed his labors and been discharged from future responsibility. The lot u|>on which the building was erected cost the government $70,000. For the lot at the corner of York and Aber corn streets, upon, which it was originally Intended to build, the government paid $30,000. Before work at this point was plopped the government had expend ed about $15,000 in placing the foundations of the building in position and these still remain. With the expenditures on account of the original site and the cost of the magnifi cent marble structure that now adorns Bull street t'ne government has been put to an expense of nearly half a million of dollars to provide the city of Savannah with a postoffice end Federal Court House. That the money has been well expended nobody, who views the result of the ex penditure. can for a moment doubt. The contract for furniture did not come within Mr. Solomons’ duty nor did he pay the money for placing it in position. This will add something to the cost of the ground, foundation and superstructure, with the interior furnishings of the build ing. • The furniture the building now con tains cost about $5,000. The first disbursement made by Mr. Solomons for the construction of the building, was in July, 1894. so that from first to last, six years have elapsed from the time payments on account of the building were begun until the disbursing agt-nt closed up his accounts, and turned over the money remaining in his hands to the department of the treasury. Three principal contracts were let for the construction of the building. The foundations were placed in position by Clark & Sons, of Chicago, the super structure was erected by Miles & Bradt, of Atlanta, and the interior furnishings and decorations were placed in the build ing by the Anderson Construction Com pany. The plumbing was done by Mc- Kenna & Welch of Savannah. Mr. 9olomons ha 6 discharged the im portant 'duties* resting upon him with en tire satisfaction to the government, and to the various contractors and employe* of the government with whom he had •deal. The actual work of disbursing has been concluded now for some time, and it is a matter of relief to Mr. Solomons that he can close up his books, and by turning over to the government, the bal ance remaining on hand, wind up his accounts. The building es it stands is a monument to the artistic taste and skill of its archi tect and the excellence of its construction. ConsideVing its size there is no hand* somer government building in the coun try, and both interior and exterior finish are of the best of their kind. The money the building has cost, and it has been not a little, has been well and wisely ex pended. LOOKING FOR A NEW SITE. Monament Committee Think of For syth Park or Park Extension. Since the refusal by Mayor Myers to ap prove the application of the McLaws and Bartow Monument Committee for permis sion to erect the busts and pedestals near the intersection of Bull street and Ogle thorpe avenue, there has been no meet ing of the committee for the purpose of giving the matter further consideration and suggesting anew site. Capt. D. G. Purse, the chairman of the committee, has suggested that the busts Ke increased In number to four, so as to Include busts of Commodore Tattnall and Capt. Wheaton, and that they be placed around the Confederate monument In the Park Extension. This suggestion was made by him at the last meeting of the committee, bud the other members then thought it unwise to undertake to raise the additional sum of money that would bo necessary, and stuck to the plan of erecting two monuments and placing them on the green on Oglethorpe avenue, near the intersection of the avenue, with Bull etreet. It has also been suggested that the mon uments to McLaws and Bartow be placed at the Bull street entrance to Forsyth Park, and that the sphinxes that now ornament either side of the walk be re moved to some ether of Ihe park en trances. One of these plans will probably be selected. The plan to place the busts around the Confederate monument contemplates eith er the erection of pedestals near the four corners or else the installation of the bronze busts, without the pedesials, upon the comers of the monument, where the granite cannon balls now rest The plan, with either variation, has met with con ■lderabie approval. FUNERAL OF CAPT. JOHN GREEN. Jasper Green’s nnd Police AVIII Aol as Escort to Church nnd Cemetery. The funeral of ex-Chlef of Police Capt. 3ohn Green will take place this afternoon at 4:30 o'cleck from his late residence. No. 417 Pres dent street, east. Mr. John H.

Regiment Armory by shooting himself with a Springfield rifle. He placed the muzzle of the rifle against his stomach end the ball passed entirely through his body, coming out near the neck and lodg ing in the wall. The deed was done at 10:30 o'clock in the company room of the Oglethorpe Light Infantry, of which the dead man was an honorary member. The surroundings showed that the act had been carefully planned and the preparations cautiously made. Mr. Richardson had gathered a number of rubber ponchos and some blank ets, and making a pile of them, had sat down, and placing the muzzle of the rifle to his stomach, fired. As he was unable to roach the trigger of the gun with his hand from the position in which he held it, he secured a ramrod and with the aid of that fired the shot that ended his life. When found he was lying on the bed of ponchos and bankets quite dead, with the gun lying between his legs where it had fallen, and the ramrod at his side. Mr. Richardson went to the armory about 10 o’clock with a number of empty shells, which he said, to Sergt. Fahey, the janitor, that his son had asked him to place in the company room cf the Ogle thorpes. After chatting awhile with the sergeant he went up stairs to the room and that was the last seen of him alive. When the report of the rifle was heard Sergt. Fahey thought it came from the room of the Greens, where two negroes were at work, and he asked what they were about. They said they had not fired the gun, and the sergeant went up to the Oglethorpes' room, his steps being hasten ed by the groans that were quite audible even on the stairs. When he entered the room he found Mr. Richardson lying In the position described and dead. His rela tives were notified and the body was re moved in a short time to his home, No. 225 Bolton street, east. Mr. Richardson had been in ill health for some time and it probably unbal anced his mind. It was not the first time that he had attempted suicide. Onca be fore he took poison while In the Odd Fel low’s building audit was with difficulty then that he was saved. Quite recently he had another spell of illness and was at one time thought to be too ill to recover and his family was notified to that effect by the attending physician, but despite this prediction he so far recovered as to be able to go out, and his spirits seemed, if any thing, to be even better than before he was taken sick. Yesterday morning be fore he left the house he was unusually bright and cheerful and the shock of his death is all the more severe in conse quence, Mr. Richardson was 52 years old and a native of Charleston. He came to this city in 1882 and was for a number of years bookkeeper for the late S. P. Hamilton. Hater he occupied the same position with Mr. J. F. LaFar. Subsequently he went into business for himself as collector and real estate agent and was quite prosper ous until his failing health prevented his giving close attention to his business with the result that he met with a number cf reverses. These so preyed on his mind that they resulted in a mental trouble from which he suffered for some time and which finally ended in yesterday’s act. Mr. Richardson leaves a wife, one son, Mr. C. 11. Richardson, and two daughters, Mrs. J. T. Clark and Miss Bessie Richard son. He was a im-mber of the Royal Ar canum. the Oglethorpe Light Infantry, and Golden Rule Lodge of Odd Fellows No. 12. It is probable, that both the Ogle thorpes and Golden Rule Lodge will at tend the funeral. He was also a devoted and energetic member of St. Paul’s Luth eran Church, and it was largely through his efforts that the present church building was erected. The funeral will take place this after noon t 7 o’clock. The burial will be made in Laurel Grove Cemetery. Rev. M. J. Epting, pastor of the St. Paula Luth eran Church, will conduct the services. DEATH OF MRS. MARY J. MONGIN. Her Fnneral AVIII Take Place at C O'clock This Afternoon. Mrs. Mary J. Mongin, widow of the late w. E. Mongin, died yesterday morning at S:lb o'clock at her residence. No. 520 Hen ry street, west, after a painful illness of nearly four months' duration. Mrs. Mongin was the possessor of a no ble Christian character, and it may well be said of her that she “knew the right, and, knowing, dared maintain." Her last illness was endured with Christian forti tude and resignation, and never, even for a moment, did she cease to be more solici tous concerning the comfort of the loved ones who surrounded her, than of her own requirements. The deceased lady was a daughter of Capt. W. W. Austin, well known In years gone by as a pilot on the Savannah river, and was born at Williamsburg, N. Y., where her parents were temporarily resid ing nearly forty-eight years ago. Her sur viving relatives are her mother, Mrs. Jane Austin; a sister, Mrs. John O'Keefe; two sons, Wlllia A. and Harry J. F. Sturte vant, end a young daughter, Ruby Austin Mongin. She leaves, besides, a large cir cle of friends who sincerely mourn Ihe loss of an exemplary woman. The funeral will take place at 6 o’clock this afternoon from her late residence. Rev. J. Y r . Fair, pastor of the Independent Presbyterian Church, of which the de ceased lady had been a devoted member since her girlhood, assisted by Rev. W. A. Nisbet of the Second Presbyterian Church, will conduct the services. The interment will be in the family lot at Laurel Grove Cemetery. BOTH WANT PRIVILEGES. Connell Committee Heard Applicants for Railroad Franchises. The Street and Lane Committee of Council, of which Alderman James M. Dixon is chairman, gave the rival claimants for street rail way franchises a hearing at the City Ex change day before yesterday afternoon. Mr. J. S. Collins and Mr. D. B. Lester were both present, and offered rea sons to 4he committee to show why the franchise should be granted them. Mr. Frank Oliver was also in attendance, be ing associated with Mr. Lester In the ef fort to secure the franchise for the Ver non company. Both Mr. Collins and Mr. Lester desire privileges on Bay, Price and Montgomery streets. About other streets there seems to be no difficulty, as their plans do not contemplate both building on any other thoroughfares. The committee was called upon to give ear to quite an array of argument and counter argument, while objections from various property ow ners to franchises be ing Issued were also recorded. No con clusion was reached, but It Is probable that another meeting will he held at an early date. One more hearing may enable the cV>mmlUee to obtain all the data it re quires. after which a report to the Coun cil will follow. Cook's Imperial Champagne—Extra Dry and extra quality.

THREE M \Y HE SHOT FOR IN STATE RIFLE CONTESTS. Capt. Hope of the Governor’* Hor*e Guard Will Try to Have the Fifth Regiment Tropliy Added to the Deßenne and the De Soto Tro phies—The \ and ditlon Would Mftn Another Attraction for the fon tcstß—Col. Woodward W’ti Spoken to About the Matter— \tlanta Will Enter Team*—Preparation* for the Contest* Are Heine Poshed. Another trophy may be added to the De- Renne and the De Soio to be contested for in the state rifle matches for military that are to be held et Avondale range on Sept. 3 and 4. Both the Deßenne and the De Soto trophies are very handsome, and either a regimental or company team might well feel proud of the honor of win ning one. Yet, handsome os are the two Savannah trophies, they will by no means discredit the third. Capt. Hope of the Governor’s Horse Guard has written Capt. J. C. Posted, inspector of rifle practice for the First Cavalry, saying that he approved of the idea of a state shoot end that Atlanta commands would probably have entries. It was in this letter that mention of the third trophy was made, a cup for which the Fifth Regiment has been accustomed to shoot for three or four years. The piece is valued at s4oft. Col. Park Woodward was spoken to by Capt. Hope in reference to turning the Fifth Regiment cup over to the Savan nah Military Rifle Association to be con tested for by the state troops annually. Just what Col. Woodward thought about the matter Capt. Hope did not say, but it was Inferred from the tone of his letter that there is considerable chance of the trophy being added to the two that are offered by the association. The Deßenne trophy is to be contested for by the regimental, and the De Soto by the company teams. Some other match would have to be arranged for the Fifth Regiment cup. but that is a matter that would not be of moment. Either a team or individual match might easily be made up for the contest. Such a tender of the Fifth Reniment cup would be greatly appreciated by the military men in Savannah. As this city offers two handsome trophies, it is taken as a matter of course that Atlanta, or any other city in which the military spirit runs high, would willingly enough of fer any trophy it might possess as a prize in state contests. It is not yet known whether transpor tation and p?r dbm will he furnished the t-ams that come from a distance to par ticipate in ihe contests. Application will be made to the state, and it is believed the concessions will be made, as rifle prac tice is a practical and essential feature of efficient military. The state, it is thought, will recognize the opportunity the con tests will offer for the building up of in terest in rifle shooring and increasing the value of the troops. As yet the arrangements for the accom modation of the visiting teams have not been made, but attention will be given this feature very soon. It is suggested that it would be well to secure tentage from the 6tate, pitching it at the rifle range. By the time for the contest the waterworks system will have been com pleted, and the difficulty of obtaining pure water at the range will have been remov ed. Capt. Posted has had the artesian well completed, and a windmill and shower baths will be added. Col. George T. Cann. inspector general of rifle practice, was expecting a telegram from headquarters at Atlanta yesterday, authorizing him to go to Cumberland Isl and this morning to give the Fourth Reg iment, now’ in camp there, instructions in rifle practice. It was* Col. Cann’s purpose to talk to both officers and men on the subject, and he thought it likely that he would thus be able to add to the interest in rifle shooting among the companies of the regiment and induce the attendance of more teams at the contests than would otherwise tome. NO SERVICES TENDERED. Savannah Companion Have Not A'et Considered the War Question. No Savannah military comand has yet made a tender of its services tor the war in China. The probabilities are that no such tender will be made from this city until a call for volunteers is made, if such is to be the outcome of the troublous times. No city in the state sent as many sol diers to the army as did Savannah during the War with Spain, yet there was not a single command that tendered services before the call for volunteers. Indeed, there was not a city in the Unitd States, in proportion to the size of Savannah, that sent as many soldiers. Military men are confident that the his tory of the Spanish War would be repeat ed were a call for volunteers to be made. Savannah has always responded in a man ner that indicated the martial spirit was deeply imbued, and should it come, the city would doubtless sustain its reputa tion, even though the foe to be fought is the heathen Chinee. Savannah officers are wondering if Cos!. Usher Thomason of the Third Georgia Regiment made his tender of the services of his command direct to the Secretary of War, as he should not have done, or through the Governor. The dispatch an nouncing the tender of the services of the regiment said nothing about the Gov ernor, so it is presumed that the tender was made direct to the government. It would also be interesting to know whether a careful poll of Ihe companies compris ing Col. Thomson's- command was 4nade before he announced that it was ready to fight the Chinese. Among military men the troubles In the Orient have been widely discussed. Some believe there may yet he a call for vol unteers, but the majority entertain a different view. The idea seems to pre vail that the concert of the Powers will furnish enough men for the chastisement of the Chinese, the quota for each being from 10.000 to 20,000 men, but there are dissenting voices, for many millions of fanatics dwell in the two provinces from which the great uprisings have been re ported, and It is believed the campaign against Pekin, even with the fall of the Celestial City, will be no more than the beginning of mighty operations. There will be posts to establish and hold, com munications to sustain, various armies to meet and defeat, an apparently inex haustible population to suppress ’and a wide territory to keep in subjection. To some it seems that the preparations the Powers are called upon to make depend altogether upon the determination and staying power of the rebels. RIG DAY ON AUG. 13. Colored People From For and Near NAill Hi* in Savannah. Leading colored citizens are arranging for a big military display on Aug. 13, The plans contemplate the participation of ail the local colored commands, as well as the companies from Macon. The railroads are offering cheap rates for the occasion, and It Is probable that colored people from all over the state will put In an appear ance. Look for Levy's ad on page 5.

District Masonic Convention in Sa vannah Next Week. A district convention of the Worshipful Masters of the Masonic lodges of the First Masonic District will be held here at the call of District Deputy Grand Master Charles F. Fulton July 25-26. The First Masonic District embmcei the same territory Included In the First Con gressional District and contains thirty live lodges, and consequently thirty-five masters, ail of whom, together with a number of the fraternity, are expected to at ,nd the convention. It is expected that about sixty visitors will be present. Mr. William Keener of Augusta, chairman of the District Deputies Rill be here, and Grand Master W. A. Davis has also been invited. All of the Worshipful Masters will be entertained in the homes of the mem bers of the fraternity In this city. The duties of the district deputy are to exemplify all the degrees, to pass upon all questions of Masonic law that may be re ferred to him, and when called on, to act instead of the Grand Master in the laying of cornerstones, and the Institution of new lodges. The present meeting is called for Site purpose of exemplifying the three de grees of the Blue Lodge and will be the first meeting of its kind ever held in Savannah. All of the local members of the order will take part in the meetings and it is expect ed that the attendance at the convention despite the hot weather will be the larg est ever seen at a Masonic meeting in thl3 city. Wednesday night the district deputy, as sisted by the officers of all of the five lo cal lodges will exemplify the work of the E. A. and the F. C. degrees, and on the fololwing night the M. M. degree. The convention will conclude with a grand banquet which will be given Thursday night niter the meeting has been adjourn ed. There will be no meeting of Solo mon's Lodge to-night. MAY CAUSE AN ORDINANCE. Slot Weight Machines May He For bidden Altogether. The seizure of the slot weight machines hy the city marshal day before yesterday may result in some kind of an ordinance being presented to Council in order that the status of this peculiar form of business may be understood. At pres ent, weight machines are not recognized at all in the system of imposing taxes and licenses, and the authorities think this is not well. An alderman said yesterday that he would not be surprised if some ordinance were introduced to prohibit the machines. It Is his opinion that they are in the way, and serve only to add to the posts, bicy cle racks, display stands and whatnot that blockade sidewalks. In this view, others of the board may not acquiesce, and it is possible that a license may oe fixed for each machine. In the meantime, the two that were seized- by the city marshal remain in the city vault, awaiting an order from the Mayor. When the owner, Mr. T. C. Par ker, or his representative appears with that, the machines will be turned over to him. It is said that several other ma chines were gathered in from the streets by their owner, as soon as it was learned that the city was ready to recognize the fact that a pervny-in-the-slot business was being carried on on the streets without license. W. E. MORRISON DEAD. The Yonng Lawyer Passed Away From Heart Failure. Mr. W. E. Morrison died night before last of heart failure at the home of his mother, Mrs. Mary E. Morrison, No. 12 Liberty street, west. The illneas that terminated in death came very suddenly, Mr. Morrison having been at his office on Monday, only complaining the follow ing day. At no time, though, up to an hour before his death, was his condition regarded as at all serious, his chief trou ble till then having, apparently, been be cause of the heat. A physician was call ed as soon as the seizure came, but his efforts were unavailing. Mr. Morrison was born in Savannah on Sept. 23, 1867. He was a son of Dr. D. H. Morrison who died when the child was but eighteen months old. His preparatory ed ucation was received at the Citadel in Charleston, whence he went to Hobart College, New York. From that institu tion he was graduated when only 19 years old, and be was one of the youngest men to be admitted to the Savannah bar in years. The Savannah Bar Association, of which he was a member, has been called out for the funeral, which will take place this afternoon at 5 o'clock from Christ Church. NEILL ON COTTON CROP. Report to English Trade Indirectly Caused Jump in Futures. It was a happy day for the bulls in the cotton market yesterday. New York fu tures advanced from 16 to 36 points, the greatest gains being in ihe July and Au gust options, each of which went up 36. October and November advanced 18, Sep tember 17, and ail others 16 points. The advance in Liverpool was the primary cause of the jumn on this side. The advance across the water is a re sponse to the first hand shown by Nell] of New Orleans this season. In a report to the English trade he says the fields in many sections of the cotton belt have been abandoned, and that the outlook for a big crop Is anything but promising The fact that he has taken this stand at this time tends to confirm many pre vious reports from the belt of damage to the plant The effect of a report of this sort in Liverpool was to create much un easiness among the bearish element. From the general run of opinions ex pressed In Savannah and elsewhere as to th s year's cotton yield It •seems that Neill will be In accord with the majority of the Southern trade in the stand he has taken. His next promulgation will, of ccurse, be looked for with' Interest. CHOSE MARRIAGE TO JAIL. Giant nnd Midget Comparatively Wedded by a Magistrate. Charles Robinson and Annie Garden, col ored, comparatively a giant and a midget, were married by Magistrate Nathalie yes terday. The man is about six feet two inches high, and the woman about two feet shortej- and they presented an extremely odd sight, as they stood up for the cere mony. Marriage In this case was not because opposites attracted, however, but was owing to the usual story of man's perfidy and the too fond trustfulness of the woman. When the bride-10-be found that Robinson was not Inclined to fill his promise of marriage she had him arrested. When he found it was marriage or Jail he chose the former os the lesser evil.

Mnnzle and Mnck Didn't Want to Ftglit nt First but They Finally Decided They Wonld Go on for Ten Rounds—This Whs Suttsfaetory to the Audience—The Men Mixed It Up Well and Some Pretty Clever Fighting Was Seen—The Decision of the Referee Was Just What Was Expected—A Slow Preliiniunry Be tween Local Aspirants for Fistic Honors. Savannah’s Interest In prize fights is scarcely commensurate with the few spec tators who witnessed the bout between Fete Manzle and Eddie Mack of Newark, N. J., at the Theater last night. The caloric seemed to be accountable, and the judgment of those who remained away on that account, was good, for it was certain ly hot. No rapidly-whirling electric fans sent iced air streaming through the house, as when the midsummer opera company was here a year ago, but the absence of femininity made up to a very small de gree, an<F the men were able to divest themselves of coats and the most irksome garments. For a time it looked as though the fight wouldn't be pulled off. The fighters saw they were up against Jt, and the few white chips left after the house's takeout, made the gate receipts for which they were supposed to be fighting, look like a deuce. It cost $75 to get the house, end, if ever there were a pair of disconsolate-looking ringers, those two were Manzie and Mack, as they took peeps at the slowly-accumu lating handful that finally formed a rath er enthusiastic audience. At about 9:45, which was the fraction after the dodgers had announced, the preliminary was started going, and that was the queerest thing in the fighting line that even Savannah has ever handed out. There was a chap seconding Flan nigan, who seemed to think he should have been in the ring himself, for hia. belligerent remarks narrowly escaped pre cipitating a slight passage at arms be tween himself and the referee, who also appeared to have his scrapping clothes on. Flannlgan went up against Kelly for six rounds as a preliminary, but neither of the boys was in shape to stand the pace they cut out at the jump, and, before the second round was done, both were tired. The remaining four dragged, and it was rather a relief when the prelim, was over. After a wait that was punctuated pret ty freely with the kicks of the audience. Manzie appeared end took his corner. A little later Mack loomed in view, and it was seen that both looked rather fit. Mack had already announced to the au dience, in a speech that would have made Chauncey Depew turn an emerald hue from envy, that he did not propose to go on for any twenty rounds', that he had contracted to do it, but that there was nothing in the fight for him. He promised to givb thetn the best he had in the shop for ten rounds, and the crowd seemed to take to the idea pretty readily. Manzie, it was noted, seconding the motion with some rather lusty applause himself. To tell the truth, it was awfully hot for the fighters to stand for a twenty-round go with nothing coming to them at the en-i of it but the honors, and the crowd was on to this, and no kicking about Mack'3 little spiel was heard. When the nigger with the hatchet bang ed out “time” on the iron bar that was rigged up as a bell, when it was discovered that this very important adjunct of the game had been forgotten, the men came to the front In good style, and the fighting was clever, well mixed-up and a pretty even thing. Manzie’s tactics were famil iar to the lovers of the fistic art who had seen him before, but Eddie was anew one. and they were interested in getting on to his methods. He showed up pretty foxy, and had a clever dodge in his in-fighting that was seen often, because the referee was kept busy ealilng for break-aways, which, by the way. the fighters gave him only when he pushed them apart. No blood was floating about, and stiff punches were rather seldom. Mack did a little more of the rushing than Manzie. but there wasn’t a hair’s breadth of ad vantage throughout that could have induc ed the referee to hand a decision to either men. His final announcement of a draw was what had been expected. The fiasco in the audience line that the fight proved will probably put a quietus on similar efforts until the cool weather comes. Nobody wants to engineer a bou-t that would produce no more than last night's and any fighters thirsting for gore and money will have to curb the desire un til it gets cool enough to exist in such a hotbox as the Theater in midsummer. FUNERAL OF YATES THOMPSON. Many People Paid the Last Tribute of Respeet. The funeral of the late Yates Thompson, whose death was announced in the Morn ing News yesterday, took place at 5 o’clock in the afternoon from the family residence, No. 101 Henry street, east. A large number of friends paid the last tribute of respect. The funeral services at the house were conducted by Rev. W. A. Nisbot of the Second Presbyterian Church The coffin rested in the parlor and was covered with flowers. The services were deeply affecting. After the prayer by the pastor, the hymns “Nearer My God,” and "Just as I Am." were sung by a duet. At the conclusion of the services the coffin was borne to the hearse by the pail bearers, most of whom were associated in business with Mr. Thompson, the others be'ng his personal friends. The interment was in Bonaventure Cemetery, where the last rites were said. HACK OWNERS IN A SET-TO. * Aired Their Troubles In Jnstlee Jones’ Court.

Blunt attacked him wl:h a knife, and gave hint a slash in the shoulder. Blunt, on the other hand, claims that he was attacked by Luke, who. he says, knocked him down with some blunt weap on. and then kicked him while he was on the ground. He admits the cutting but claims self-defense in extenuation of the act. He preferred counter charges against Luke, who was arrested by an officer of Magistrate Kline’s court. Both men gave bond for their appearance and were re leased. AT THE CAMERA CLUR. Interesting Lecture by Mr. William T. Lewis. Mr. William T.
