THE SAME OLD THING.


=
Matters In the second Ward Were Terry
Much as Usual. Last Night
A tour Of the Market street section
Of the Second ward, last night, showed
about the usual state OF affairs. The
gambling houses appeared to be doing
the same amount of business, there was
the same miscellaneous assortment Of
coloFed and white loafers about the
Market house, and the other sights OF
that part Of town were about as pic
turesque as the usual Saturday night
finds them. In front of an Eleventh
street gambling house, at ten o'clock,
a negro was sitting half drunk and
asleep, and both blacks and whites
were using market house benches for
roosts.
The people along Market street earn
estly hope that the market house will
be no longer used as a sleeping place
and rendezvous for "chippies" even if
nothing else is accomplished.

CITY to-day that Ratchford's aim 10 10

Arthur's refusal to attend the confer
ence does not occasion any surprise
among organized labor here.
This is not a matter which concerns
our organization said Mr.. Arthur
speaking of the coal strike. 1t Is nat
nral that trainmen should feel a SYM
pathy for the striking miners, and L
suppose they do, but there is no rea-
son why they should refuse to maui
West Virginia coal the same as other
freight. Ii may be there are some VINO
would be inclined to refuse to handle

our organizations for any advice on
the question. The organization mas

Ratchford, it is understood, hopes to
induce the trainmen, switchmen and
conductors, through their leaders, TO
refuse to handle West. Virginit coal not
mined by union labor If he accom-
plishes that the operators concede the
market would take a wonderful Jump

Prof Fowler win soon undertake. The
purpose is to measure the earth and
fix its metes and bounds At the same
time the Fowler pa rty will make arc
measurements with be view Of deter
mining definitely tn earth's shape.
This is a work thai scientists have
long dreamed Of doing, but heretofore
for lack Of money have never been able
to perform satisfactorily and com
pletely.
The present arc measurements are
the result Of a century and a half of
hard work on the part Of scientists.
Since the middle of tiD Eighteenth
Century little or no advance has been,
made. We are resting to-day in our
ascertained knowledge Of the earth's
shape and dimensions where French
savants left US in 1850.
The probabilities are that the carry
ing out Of the latest plan will not take
a century and a half The knowledge
which is already ours will accelerate
action in so great a degree that mill
lions Of persons who are living to-day
are likely to see the completion of the
work undertaken by the British gov
eminent. 1t viii take many years to
accomplish the task, hut its import
ance cannot be overesdmated. If the
earth is not round we ought to know it,
Of cost. Then maybe we
shall quit looking for the North Pole.

ELWOoD FUTILE DEAD.
While Driving the Front Wheel OF His
Buggy Came Off-The Accident
Caused His Death-Was Well
Known in Mexico.
From the Fulton Sun

FROM tue sun.
While driving one of his spirited
horses near the Orphan School late
yesterday evening, Elwood Tuttle met
with an accident which cost him his
life. One of the wheels came off of the
buggy and the horse ran away.
Mr.. Tuttle held on to the horse for
some distance but on crossing small
gully Mr.. Tuttle was thrown from the
buggy and caught in the running gear
and so severely injured that he died
this morning at O'Clock of hemor-
rhage of the brain.
He was leading dealer in tobacco
and was a valuable citizen. He bought
manufactured and shipped tobacco to
many States and his goods had at.
tanned a reputation that made them
easy sellers.
At first his injury was thought to be
trivial and no serious result was feared
until within 15 minutes of his death
The doctor thinks small blood yes.
sci burst in his brain Gausis .hs death.
ne was oorsfou rrsefous up to within a short
.ihne ,....dis 0dis death. The bruise on the
aslnpIe resulted fatally.
Elwood Tuttle was member of the
Presbyterian church and regular at
tendant and consistent Sunday school
worker. He had his faults and 30 have
we all, but no one had more friends
than jovial, true-hearted Elwood. He
was a member of the Masonic and
Knights of Pythias fraternities and an
influential member of society.

TRIBUTES TO JEFFERSON DAVIS
A Silver Star Marks the Spot Where
the Confederate President Stood
When Sworn In.

MONTGOMERY, ALA, May 20.-A
permanent record was made to-day
on the spot in the stone flooring of
the Capitol upon which Jefferson
Davis stood when inaugurated Presi-
dent of the Southern Confederacy
with appropriate ceremonies. A sil-
yer star was imbedded at the spot in
dicated by the surviving veterans who
witnessed the Davis Inauguration.
The society of the Daughters OF the
Southern Confederacy had the matter
in charge. The procession formed on
Court street, near the old slave mark
ct here, and marched to the Capitol to
the music of bands about half past
five o'clock. 1t was led by a
large body of veterans on foot, led by
the militia, then followed in carriages
the State officers, the city officers, the
ex-Governors, the ministers, members
of the Daughters society and distin-
guished citizens and visitors. Cannon
doomed in the Capitol grounds as the
procession approached.
General John W. A. Sanford, of
Montgomery, friend and counselor
of Mr.. Davis, who stood near him
when he took the oath of office, pre-
sided over the exercises. Genera
Sanford is,, a most aessI1ip,Iis aec sI1pIisned ora
ka' and he spoke eloquently of Mr..
Davis and of the movement which he
headed.
He said the people of the South had
nothing to apologize for. He defend
ed the South's position in the matter
of secession and spoke of the valor OF
her sons in the struggle which fol-
lowed.
stIf we were rebels, then to rebel is
right. If Jefferson Davis was a traitor,
then treason is the highest virtue, "he
said.
Miss Tompkins, of this city, present.
ed the star to Governor Johnston, the
custodian of the Capitol, who, being a
Confederate veteran, responded with
handsome eology of Jefferson Davis
and the Southern cause.
Father Ryan's poem, "Furl That
Banner" was recited by Miss Robin
son, of Montgomery, and the star
being set in position was covered with
garlands of flowers.

GRAVESTONES TAKEN
From a Cemetery to Use as Home
Plates on Ball Grounds-Ar-
rests Coming.

BOSTON, MASS, May 24.-Medford
youths play base ball with gravestones
for home plates. These headstonee
are taken from Gross Street Gene
terry, and the relatives of the dead
whose graves have been desecrated
want the police to make arrests. The
members of the nine which took the
gravestones are scions of the best
families in Medford and most of them
60 to the high school.
The desecration of cemetery Is an
offense punishable with fine or i'm
prisonment, or both, and some of the
boys who have been concerned in tax
ing these gravestones are fearful of
being punished by the law.
The first stone was pounded to
pieces by the bats of the youngsters
and then another was taken. Since
then over five gravestones have beer
pounded to pieces and other onet
taken from the cemetery to take theil
places.
The cemetery people will prosecute
the offenders.
