FIGHT FOR A "MAsCOT."
Queer Legal Proceedings About "a
Child at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Ill March 81 Ferdinand
Won Norderhicht, Acting Imperial
Consul in Chicago for the German
Empire, hss' brought hab as corpus
proceedings before Judge Carrot TO fet
aside a decree Of the County Court
giving the custody OF Dorothea Hen
rietts Long, seven-yCar.old subject
OF Emperor William, to Michael St.eit.
The child was only adopted by STREET.
in 1885. The German Consul claims
that the County Court had no right to
grant adoption papers, as the
child was subject of the
German Empire. The child
is the daughter Of couple who met
death together year ago. Her
father shot her mother and then him
self Some hundreds OF applications to
adopt the little one were made to the
County Court, belief existing among
many people that the child, through
the circumstance of her parents death,
had become mascot" Mr.. STREET,
a blacksmith, was the successful ~
pliCant. Why the German Consul
now seeks to possess the child the at
torney in the case refuses to say. 1t
is understood that difference OF re-
ligion between the child and the
STREET family is one Of the grounds.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN.
SUIT AGAINST THE TELEPHONE
COMPANY FOR TANES.
Solemn Requiem Mass for the Re-
pose of the Soul Of the Late
Father McNAllY.
ESPECIAL TO THE APPEAL,

CHATTANOOGA Tenn, March g.
The State authorities to-day com
menced suit against the Bell Tele
phone Company TO enforce the collec.
ton of taxes. The East Tennessee
Telephone Company leased the fran
chises and patents for East Tennessee
and Kentucky, and operates the lead
ing towns. They have heretofore
been assessed for taxes on wires, poles,
etc, but the Bell Company have not
paid taxes for their plant or franchises.
They were assessed $4,000 for their
plant in this city, the State
and city tax amounting to
$500. Steps will be vigorously taken
to enforce the collection of the tax.
A solemn requiem mass was held in
this city to-day for the repose of the
soul of Father McNally, late priest of
this parish, who died a few days ago
in Ireland. Bishop Rademacher and
all the leading Catholic priests in this
and ncighboring dioceses participated
in the ceremonies, which were the
most impressive ever held by the
church in the State. The memorial
sermon was delivered by Father Veale
of Memphis.

THERE is very earnest effort being
made to induce the present Legislat-
ure of Mississippi to call constitu-
tional convention. The Jackson Clar-
ION, which is especially anxious for it,
says that persons familiar with the
political history of Mississippi have
no doubt that a constitutional conven-
ton would have been called as early
as 1877, had it not been for the threat
ening attitude of the negro vote and
the extreme hostility of the national
administration to the State admins
tratioipj and, notwithstanding this,
many oHAthe best and the wisest men
of the Democratic party then insisted
that the ca,ypetbag constitution should
be set aside and new one formed bv
our own people"

BUSINESS TROUBLES.

BosToN, MASS, March 3.-F. W.
Nickerson & Co., large importers, West
India traders and commission mer-
chants. who have been in business
between forty and fifty years,an
their failure to-day, assigning to Joseph
Brussell, confidential employe.
Their liabilities are 100000 direct and
100000 indirect, and their nominal
assets are good. The firm is the agent
of the Boston and Savannah Steam
ship Company, which is not affected
at all. The Eastern Steamship Line,
running to points in the Provinces, is
owned in great part by the firm, and
is therefore affected by the failure.
The cause of the assignment is the
general dullness of business in which
the firm is engaged. The firm is COM
posed of Frank w. Nickerson, Alfred
A. Nickerson and Elkaniah Crosby.
Nothing definite can be stated about
the assets. They include extensive
West Indian and other foreign inter
ests, and other investments which it
will take long time to develop. The
Indebtedness of the firm is chiefly to
national banks on time notes and col
lateral. The causes of the failure are
manifold. The first blow affecting
the credit of the firm was the wreck
of the City of Columbus of the Sa-
vannah Line, two years ago. They
have dealt largely in hemp, sugar and
other staples OF commission and also
in direct trade. 1t is impossible to
make any statement about the proba-
bic relation of the assets to the liabili-
ties. The members of the firm say
that with careful nursing the assets
will yield a very good dividend to
the creditors.

of Mexico. The Galena arrived al ST
Andrews, Colombia, February 18th,
with b. X. Wright, jr., the United
States Consul at Colon, on board. The
steamer City of Mexico was found in
port with only her passengers, thirty
I'm number, the captain and one of her
crew, on board. The remainder of the
crew had protested against proceeding
to sea with the passengers, asserting
that they composed an organized band
under the direction of one of their
number, Emil Delgardio, rs chief.
and that they were in wait
ing to receive arms and ammu-
milton from the American steamer
Neptune preparatory to land at the
Island of kuatan; that the vessel, in
stead of sailing peaceable voyage, for
which they had enlisted, was under
the control of the said De Gardio, and
that the captain was implicated in the
irregularities; that their contract hav-
ing been broken they demanded their
discharge or a satisfactory guarantee
for their lives, which they claim had
been threatened by the passengers,
Nio ~ solht tAlcnl were armed, or
the passengers should be removed
from the ship. Under these demands
the consular agent had removed the
crew to the town of st. Andrews, while
the Colombian authorities had, owing
TO reports that the passengers had
been refused landing at the ports
of Belize, Honduras, Blue Fields
and Corn Island, i'm Colombia,
declined to permit their coming ON
shore. The consular agent had ex-
the crew and captain UNI
der oath. Having read the testimony
and taken part in the proceedings
with Consul Wright, Commander
Chester was convinced that the grave
charges preferred by the Consul were
well founded and determined to seize
the vessel. Before doing so he was
assured by the Project of the Port and
the Judge of the District that such
action was in accordance with inter
national laws and treaty stipulations.
On board the steamer were two steam
and three Honduras flags.
The captain had authority to draw on
the agents of the vessel for money,
but it is evident that Delgardo paid |

ions of the law relating to the sinking

MR. SAMUEL Mos8X, one OF the old
est citizens of Memphis; and the old
est merchant, died in his seventy
seventh year yesterday, at his home,
at Ridgewsy Station, ON the Mefn-
phis and Charleston railroad. He
came to this city in his fif-
tenth year, from Hanover Court
House, Va, where he was born in
November, 1909, and entered the
service of Nathaniel Anderson as
clerk. A few years after he bought an
interest in the business, andiwith Mr.
Thomas W. Hunt, his brother-in-law,
bought out Mr.. Anderson in 1913, and
established the firm of Mosby & Hunt,
which continued until 1854, when
Mr.. Hunt retired and entered into
a partnership with Mr. Adlai
0. Harris. Mr. Mosby continued in
business until the breaking out of the
civil war, when he discontinued, and
did not again resume until 1868, when
he re-established the old firm with his
nephew, Mr.. G. p. Hunt, for partner.
In 1877 he retired, and has not been
actively engaged since Mr.. Mosby
was a conscientiously honest man, his
word being equal to his bond, and he
was scrupulously faithful to every
trust.

The Chess ChamDioush,D.

New ORLEANS, March 3.-The chess
tournament between Zukertort and
Steinetz was resumed this afternoon,
Steinetz playing the white. The
opening was the Ruy Lopez, and in
his forty-fourth move DIR. Zukertort
resigned. The game was played
rather rapidly, especially toward the
end, the moves from thirty-fve to
forty-two being made in ten minutes.
The time consumed in play was as
follows: Steinetz, two hours and
thirty-nine minutes; Zukertort, one
hour and thirty-five minutes. The
game is pronounced the best one so
far played. The next game will be
played Friday.

COMBINATIONS.

WASHINGTON, March 8. Among the
combinations made to-day from which
the injunction of secrecy was not re-
moved was that of Collector Heddan
of New York. The nomination of the
postmaster at Hamburg, Ia, a "suspen-

papers upon which the late incum-

voluminous, and the charges are said
to have been trivial in their nature.
The case went over.

IT is much to be regretted that there
should be even one man in the Mis-
sissippi Legislature opposed to the
Woman's College of Columbus, an in
stitution of already deserved celebrity.
But there is more than one, not, how
ever, we are assured, enough to inter
fere with its progress or retard its
growth, as has been mooted, by with
holding sufficient appropriation.
The women Of the State are entitled
to more than this at the hands of the
Legislature presently this much at
least.
