A Boston court has decided that
young man who bought ice cream
for young lady on several occa-
sions last summer practically en-
gagged himself to her by doing so.
This would indicate that It is very
dangerous to buy ice cream for a
young lady without first having a
written agreement as to what it
means. TeXarkana youths who vis-
it the ice cream parlors should look
up the law on this subject
or they may be engaged before
they get their mas consent to me-
gotiate for a wife,

SHOT ON HIS WAY TO CHURCH.
Samuel Parker, of Cecil, Ga, was shot
and killed yesterday morning by Shell
ton Dampier, of Fahira, Ga. The story
received at Valdosta is to the effect that
Parker was on his way to church and
had stopped on the street to talk to
some friends, Dampier being In the
crowd. After few minutes conversa.
ton the crowd began to break up, and
Parker, Dampier and the town marshal
we're left alone. Dampier then drew
his pistol, and, putting it against the
breast of Parker, fred one shot. The
ball passed through Parker's heart and
he sank to the ground without a word,
dying instantly. Turning to the mar
shall Dampier waved his pistol in his
face and defed him, threatening to kill
him if he moved. The desperate then
turned and walked away, making his
escape.
The cause OF the tragedy is said to
date back three years. when Dam pier
was prosecuted for stealing some meat
from Parker. Dampier was convicted
and sent to the chain gang. He swore
vengeance at the time, declaring that
he would kill Parker on sight if he was
released or when his term expired. He
was given his liberty by expiration of
his term six or seven months ego. Par
ker was known as a peaoeable citizen
and leaves 8 wife and seven or eight
children to mourn his tragic death.

Yellow Fever.

BILOXI, Miss, Sept. 13.-The condi-
ton of affairs as regards the fever is not
materially changed from former re-
ports. Most of those sick are improv-
ing rapidly and the conditions OF
ali are favorable. Late yesterday
evening there were reported two new
cases in the Desporte family, making
four cases in that family. Four other
cases were reported yesterday. DR..
Tackett has fourteen cases of fever,
nine OF which he diagnoses as yellow
fever.
MANAeUA, Nicaragua, Aug. 91.-Yel-
low fever has appeared at Leon, in
western Nicaragua. Several natives
have died of the disease recently and it
is spreading.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 13.-The
breeze of excitement that pre-
vailed yesterday has subsidized. At frs:
there was disposition to leave town,
but wen people found that there were
only seven imported cases here and that
they mad been warned as to six of them,
they decided to wait until the situation
should become more aggravated
before leaving for other parts.
There was, therefore, no heavy
outgoing travel and very little
incoming. Those who expected to
wake up this morning and learn of new
cases of yellow fever were disappoint-
ed. Up to the present writing the at
taches of the board of health announce
that there has been no change in the
situation since last night. Many promi-
nent physicians believe that if isolated
cases continue to appear in the city it
is quite possible to con6ne them and
make their vicinity proof against infec.
ton. The heavy storm that prevailed
yesterday checked the work at the
camp of detention at Fontainebleau.
To-day is clear, however, and Super
intendent Marshall and the govern.
ment are pushing things to completion.
One of the fresh cases of yellow fever
reported by DR.. Shannon yesterday at
Ocean Springs proves to be Miss Good
rich, of New Orleans, q niece of the
lady who nursed Miss Schutze, the St.
Louis lady who died of the yellow fe-
yer. 1t developed to-day that the yell
low fever at Barkley, Miss, was import
ed from Ocean Springs.
At the request of the commanding Of
fcer at Jackson Barracks the garrison
of that post has been ordered to Chat
tanooga national military park.
