A Severe Penalty Imposed In Mississippi

A Severe Penalty Imposed In MIssissIppi
for tho Shooting OF q Man.
Popping at q man with pistol be-
cause you do not happen to like him is
going to have in the future some dis
agreeable consequences. In the good
old times If the man shot at got hit
and the doctors cut him up and killed
him, there would follow a trial, of
course, and some inconvenience to the
shootist, but acquittol was usually the
result, and the shootist bore thereafter
all the honors custom decreed one who
had "killed his man." Those good old
times are gone, however, for the United
States district court in Mississippi has
stepped to the front and put a price on
killing or trying to kill q man that will
be prohibitory. AS related by the Mo-
bile Register it happened this way:
James A. Mayfeld, james II. and
George III. Sisk met one J. M. Ross in
Amory, Miss, two years ago and filed
him to the muzzle with cold lead bull
lets. They did not like Ross, SO they
loaded him with lead and tried to sink
the lire OUT OF MIN. koss, however.
managed to pull through and did not
die; on the contrary, he lived to bring
suit in a United States court, demand
ing that his assailants pay him $780,
600 damages done to his anatomy by
the cold lead they had sprinklcd into.
him. There was q hot legal contest.
with talented lawyers on both sides.
John M. Allen, of Tunica, appearing
for the defendants, and j. II. Watson.
of Memphis, for the plaintiff, and the
jury, after two hours deliberation.
brought in q verdict for Ross for the
full amount claimed.
People may judge what a catastro-
phe this proved to be for the defend,
ants by the fact that as soon as the
verdict was rendered they made gen.
eral assignment for the benefit of all
their creditors.

FROZEN FISH.

They Como 70 Life After Long Impfls-
onmoDt In Ice.
At the waterworks pumphouse in
Richmond, Ind, there stands large
fountain, with a basin which measures
about ten feet across, and of that
fountain correspondent of the Phila
delphia Bulletin tells the following
story:
Last fall three bass were put in the
basin, each weighing perhaps one and
half pounds. 1t was not supposed
that the water in the basin would
freeze, but one very cold night it did,
and the three bass were imprisoned
beneath.a thick layer of ice.
The cold weather kept up and the
water froze deeper and deeper until
the whole mass of water finally became
solid and frigid mass, and the fish
were inclosed in transparent tomb.
The flowing water from the fountain
kept freezing until a gigantic pyramid
had been formed twelve feet in height.
The bass were plainly visible, and the
remarkable manner in which they had
been caught attracted much attention.
Recently during n rain the ice melted
and tho fish, which were encased for
over three months, were left to drift
on the water. The engineer was about
to throw them away for dead when he
noticed that one of the fish wiggled q
fin, and to his surprise found that it
was still alive. All three Of the fish
returned to life after few hours
basking in the sunshine, and they are
now swimming around in q lively man.
ner with no visible evidence of their
long sleep in a frozen mass of ice.

New Bridge Location.

The bridge question, as all former
questions Of any importance, has
caused a division of opinion among
the people of Waco. Some advocate
one location, some another, all aotu
ated by sincere desire to place the
bridge in the most convenient loca-
ton for the greatest number of our
county and city people, in which is
more or less mixed desire to en-
nance the value Of property they msy
DO fortunate or unfortunate enough to
own in CLOSE proximity to the loca-
ton they advocate.
1t is gratifying, however. that there
is one point in which they can ali
come together, and that is one OF
CRATE Importance, considering that
the summer is far advanced and the
fall, with all its glowing promises is
almost here, and that is, that now is
good time to see Egan about thei'
winter supply of coal.

To Pack Silk and Wool,

Whenever you have occasion to pack
away silk or wooden goods which you
are afraid may turn yellow break up a
few cakes of white beeswax and fold
the pieces loosely in old handlkerchiefs
that are worn thin. Place these among
the goods. If possible pin the silks or
woolens in some old white linen sheets
or garments. If it be inconvenient to
use linen take cotton sheets. OF course,
1t is important that the clothing shall
be perfectly clean when put away.

WAsHrNGToN, July 30.-The advance
guard of the members of the Odd Congress,
coming to attend the special session which
will begin q week from tomorrow, are at
the capital. Theirs are not many of them
and the probabilities are that but few con
gressmen will DO in the city before next
Saturday.
Among those who have arrived the opin-
ion seems to he unanimous that the Shsr-

least the silver purchase clause, but what
