Special Wire to Sunday Light.
New Orleans, La, May 22.-Last Sun
day morning the body of Vincent
kaufman, a levee guard, was found in
the river near Bonnie Care levee, upon
which he had been guard for three
weeks. A youth named Cyrus Gro
yer, who was also levee guard, was
SUSPECTED, and he was arrested and
brought to this city for safe keeping.
Yesterday he confessed the part he
played in the murder and accused a
man named Harper, who was captain
of the guards, with killing kaufman.
He SAYS Harper shot kaufman through
the head, while the latter was lying
down, and that Harper threw the body
with the head in the water so the
blood would not show on the bank,a
that he then compelled Grover to tie
n rope to the body, and tow it out into
the river with a skiff. Q Grover says he
was forced to aid Harper. kaufman,
in conversation with Grover, previous
to the Staying, had accused Harper of
drinking and siad he would get his
Job. Grover reported this to Har-
per, and Harper was much eXasperated
by it. After brooding over the matter
some days, he determined to kill Kuhl-
man. The dead mans watch and
some articles of jewelry were found
concealed in a place Grover designated,
and a diver recovered Kuhlman's shot
gun and hat from the river, where Gro
yer says Harper sunk them Harper
has been arrested. but stoutly denies
the truth of Growers confession.

jackson, Miss, May 22.-The bill
passed by the Legislature to erect
new state capitol to cost $750,000, does
not please Governor McLaurin and he
has sent a message to the Legislature
advising them to adjourn and let the
bill lay over until January. This &C
ton of the governor has caused great
commotion and the Legislature almost
unanimously declined to adjourn ana
will remain in session long enough to
force the governor to sign or veto the
hill If he yetoes, it is said the Legis-
Iature will pass the bill over the veto.
The provision for the new capitol was
one of the reasons the Legislature was
convened in extra session.
1t is believed the unanimous election
of Ex-Governor Stone as commissioner
to supervise the building of the new
capitol, by a joint convention of the
two houses of the Legislature has had
the effect of arousing MCLaurin's ire.
The Senate also elected one commits
sioner and the House of Representa-
tives another these three commission
ers to have charge of the construction
of the new capitol. All three are anti
administration men and McLaurin

tillery, to San Antonio free of charge,
provided that Adjutant Mabry will or

Messrs. Homer Eads and George f.

Monroe. La, May 22.-Upon a tele-
gram from the sheriff of Plaquemine,
an Italian man and woman were ar
rested upon the arrival of the Houston
Central train today. There was no
reason given for their arrest except
that they were wanted in Plaquemine.
Neither man or woman, both of whom
are young and good looking, would
give their names. The woman how
ever, acknowledged that she had left
her husband and two children at
Plaquemine, and that she and her
companion were on the way to New
York. When asked why it was that
she left her children, she hesitated and
then said her mother was there and
would take care of them. Talking fur
| Their, she said that she and her COM
panion had been school children to-
gether at Palermo, Italy, and that they
had always loved each other. When
she was 10 years old, she asserts, she
was persuaded to marry her present
husband, man much older than her.
self. They came to America several
years ago and the lover of her youth
full days followed. The woman had
$1,000 in cash, which Sheriff Johnson
has in his possession. She said she
helped make the money, and that she
had left that much more in her hus-
bands safe, which she thought he
ought to have and that she would new
er live with him again. Why they
have been arrested will not be known
until the arrival of an officer from
Plaquemine, but it is supposed that an
irate husband is wanting to halt the
couple and persuade the wife to re-
turn home. She asserts that she nei-
Their wants to see her husband nor re-
turn home.
She further says that her husband
has always treated her well, but that
she does not love him. She and her
husband have lived in Plaquemine for
six years, and her companion has re-
sided there only one year.

Washington, May 22.-The Republi-

first effort win be to devise plans to
expedite consideration of the bill and
there will also be an attempt to recon-
Gle differences of opinion as to the

the schedules are Objectionable to
many of the senators, and it is thought
advisable to settle such differences in
caucus rather than in the Sente. The
principal object of the caucus how
limitation of time for debate and un-
der the present rules, this can only be
done by mutual consent. What the
tariff leaders will first attempt to Sc
cure, is an agreement among the Re-
publican senators to restrain any de-
sire they may have for general speech
es and thus throw the responsibility
for delay upon the opposition. So far
as agreed upon. the program is to have
Senator Aldirch make his statement

no set speeches on the Republican side

BARRIERS AT WAR.
PRICES ARE BEING CUT WITH
THE SHARP LITTLE RAZORS.
One Shop Makes the Startling Announce.
ment Of Giving Free Shave With
a Ten-Oent Hair Gut.

Haircutting at cut prices is the pre-
vailing custom among the tonsorial ar
lists of San Antonio. The prices are
being slashed right and left,and keen
edged razors are doing the work. A
few years ago there was hardly bar
Der in the city who would touch the
shears for any thing less than thirty
five cents. But occasionally a misun-
Outstanding would arise between the
employee and employer and this usual
ly resulted in an unfriendly parting.
The former then opened a shop of his
own. Finally competition got so live
~ that it was found necessary to open
another channel for trade. The price
of haircutting was reduced to twenty
five cents. Then somebody else cut
the price of shaving from fifteen to ten
cents. The next reduction was fifteen
cents for hair cutting and ten cents
for shaving. Even these prices were
within the Giving margin"
But here's where the cutting gets
down to a fine point. Across the
Creek" there are two Mexican barber
shops with these signs out in front:
Hair cutting, 10 cents; shaving cents.
These shops are located on Laredo
street between Commerce and Dolo-
rosa streets, and are opposite each
other.
How is this for a close shave. On
West Commerce street, about a block
from the five-cent shops, can be seen
a sign, Free Shaving" This man
charges ten cents for hair cutting and
throws in a shave for pelon, while
you wait.
