Killed at q Baseball Game.

BRooKHAvEN, Aug. AT a match
game OF baseball between Wesson and
Brookhaven this evening, Oscar Stew
art was killed outright and Thomas j.
Decell dangerously wounded. Stewart
was guying the Wessons, to which Lu-
clan Soules took exception and remon-
strated with him. Louis ]. Decell, con-
stable of this district, happened to be
upon the scene, and took Stewart long
distance from the umpire's stand.
Stewart rushed away, but was stopped
by the constable, who caught him by
both arms and requested him to keep
quiet. While in this position Thomas
]. Decell, brother of the constable, see-
ing his brother in an alteration with
Stewart, ran up to where they were.
Five shots were fired in rapid success
sion, and after the smoke had cleared
away Stewart was found with bullet
through his lungs, another in the bow
els, and the third finger Of the left
hand shot off, and Thomas j. Decell
shot through both legs. Stewarrsol
dead and Decell is expected to die.
When Stewards remains were taken to
his home Mrs. c. D. Week, an aunt Of
Mrs. Stewart, succumbed to the shock,
and has lost her mind. Mrs. Stewart is
absent in Crystal Springs. This is the
first tragedy Brookhavcn has had in
| twenty years.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
The Crops.

vicKsBURG, Aug. Warm weather
prevailed during the past week, the
temperature averaging several degrees
above normal, and the sunshine was
abundant. Rainfall occurred in the
form Of light local showers, which were
yer unevenly distributed.
Upon the whole weather conditions
have not been favorable to the staple
crops In many sections no rain at all
has fallen in several weeks, and crops
are suffering severely. Reports from
Lee County in tho vicinity OF Tupelo
show that there has been no rain in that
locality in ffty-four days. Cisterns and
pools are reported to be drying up in
Clay County, and stock is begin
ming to suffer for want Of water, as
well as crops, which are reported almost
ruined. In other sections where show
ers have fallen crops are generally In
fairly good condition. Cotton is small
but we'll formed and fruiting we'll. In
Wayne County and other sections where
conditions have been favorable the corn
crop Is the finest that has been known
for several years.
Some fodder and hay are being saved
in the delta and in the southern part Oh
the State. Boil worms are reported In
the lower delta and are doing consider
able damage to cotton in lssaquena
County. No complaint is made OF in
jury by worms in other sections. There
is complaint in few localities that cot
ton is shedding.
Truck farmers report sugarcane, sweet
potatoes and peas to be doing well, and
large yield is expected Gardens are
generally good except where drouth has
been too severe.
The rain at the close of the week in
the southern and middle portions of the
State has doubtless proved very benef
cial in those sections where rain was
needed, and the present outlook fol
continued showers in the South, fol
lowed by clearing weather, is very en-
:ouraging.
