HAS PERHAPS SUiClDED.
A Mr.. Stewart of McComb City, Miss, Mystic.
riously Disappears.

Special to The ge-Herald.
Decatur Ala, Aug. PA man named
Stewart, accompanied by his young wife,
mailing from McComb City, Miss, came
here a Ettle over a week ago and put up
ait the Bailey house. The man seemed to
be- in deep trouble about something and
was silent and moody. He stated to the
few with whom he talked that he was a
lawyer with a good practice at McComb
City, and was looking for suitable 10
cation i'm some good county seat. His
strange acts were noticed by several peo-
pie who saw him late AT night in remote
places. 1t was evident he was in deep
financial trouble, and being a man of ed
ucation atnd refined sensibilities it weigh
ed upon hts mind.
Last Wednesday night he disappeared,
leaving no trace, only short note to the
proprietor of the house, where he had
been stopping. His wife knew nothing of
his leaving until next morning. She
asked to have The matter kept quiet, be-
lieving she would hear from her husband,
but has finally given up hope and is con-
WINGED that he b. dead.
Parties here who knew the couple say
they are of good families in McComb
City, and Stewards tale is true. He also
claimed to be a graduate of the Lebanon,
Tenn, law school.
In appearance the man was very dark
and sallow, coal black hair and mustache,
dark brown eyes, weight about 1876 pounds,
of slender build and thin features. He
was an hveserate cigarette fiend. The
belief is strong among all that Stewart
has made away with himself.

Eighth avenue at the louisville and

deep digch. Tom Bowling, who was
driving, heard a locomotive whistle for
the crossing and urged his horse Ito cross
over ahead of it. Mr.. A. 1. Dexter had
just left his desk at the Alabama Pipe
company's and was en- his way heme on
a wheel, when he hsa.d the same whistle
and made a spurt with the same object
in view as the occupants of the carriage.
The result was a headend collision, and
as the horse could turn neither to The
right nor to the left it reared and plung-
ed over Mr.. Dexter and his wheel, drag
sing the buggy over his pro- tralc .'orm
As soon as the horse could be stopped
Tom Bowling ran back to look after Mr..
Dexter, and during his absence the horse
became unmanageeb2c, throwing Mrs.
Bowling down an embankment and run
ming away Miss Sullivan jumped
Mr.. Dexter is about as usual today with
many sore spots, while Mrs. Bowling has
bruised arm and shoulder. They are
congratulating each other on the lucky
escape, and while neither blames the 9TH
er, they both agree that the city ought
to place lfghs at that crossing.
City Physician Prince began making his
compulsory yaccina, ion rounds today.
All those vaccinated or showing a good
scar will be given a certificate. The city
physician has the cooperation of the au-
Lhoritfcs, and the law will be strictly en-

Woodward. About noon today he called
at the home of ]. J. Sullivan travel
ing jewelry drummer, and asked to see
some X. of p. pins, as he wished to pur-
chase one. He looked through large line
of jewelry and left without purchasing
but as soon as he reached the sidewalk
little sister of James Sullivan, who
showed the jewelry, told him the negro
had stolen some while his back was turn
ed. Sullivan Immediately gave chase and
Officer Corners Joined, shooting in the
air to scare the negro into stopping. He
didn't scare, and being a good foot run
ner, distanced his pursuers until he had
gained two blocks but when at Tenth
avenue officer Corners saw he could not
catch the thief, he took deliberate aim
and felled him two blocks away, the bull
let striking just below the left hip. He
had five gold pins on his person and
several have since been found that he
dropped while running. He is not Sc
riously hurt.

Taste for Apples.

Meehan's Monthly; The SUPER
abundance of the apple crop last year
has had one good result for the fu~
ture of the orchardist. 1t rendered
apples SO cheap that the consumption
was greater than ever before. A taste
of this kind once stimulated generally
continues; consequently the demand
will be larger in seasons to come than
it has been hitherto This year apples
have been in Philadelphia markets the
whole year through. Last years sup
ply of late varieties, such as the Bald
win, had scarcely disappeared before
the Russian variety. Tetoffsky, came in
from Virginia. These, Of course, will
be followed by better kinds.
