The late railroad lawyer convention
refused to cooperate with the Peoples
Party to win victory over gold and
monopoly, but decided that the silver
Democrats should fuse with the Cleve-
land gold Democrats and Mckinley
Democrats. The purpose of this is to
try To side the fight for corporation re-
forms and TO turn over the next Iegis-
ture to the railroads under cover of the
"nigger scare-crOw." This is the con-
spiraCy that The CAUCASIAN has been
warning the people against for more

CAN'T GAMBLE ON WEATHER.
Lottery Nipped In the Bud by
Legal Opinion.

CHICAGO March 2s.-The government
will not allow any one to gamble on
the weather mans predictions or to
operate a lottery on the predictions
A Chicago man conceived the idea of
forming pool on the state of the
weather on April 20 next. He pro-
posed to sell tickets at one dollar each,
and to award prizes running from $50
to $4,000. He wrote to the post Office
department to find out if the mails
would be closed against his scheme
Attorney Barrett, for the department
at Washington, wrote the opinion,
which has reached Chicago. 1t is the
first legal statement of the status of
the weather bureau as exempt fl om the
competition from the guesser. The
opinion says:
Although the weather bureau, with
improved appliances, forecasts with a
certain degree of accuracy conditions
of the weather for II hours in advance,
yet for persons throughout the couatry
to make such forecasts 50 far ahead as
April 90, next, would seem to be en-
tirely n matter of chance. If operated
through the mails this scheme would
be held by this Office to be II violation
of the lottery law"

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
Desperate Shooting ARRAY.

News comes of terrible shooting
affray which occurred last week at Beth
Eden, asmall place about fifteen miles
from of Ackerman, in Winston county.
Particulars concerning the tragedy are
meager, on account Of the bloody scene
being located SO far in the interior, but
the facts are substantially as follows:
II seems that citizen of Winston
county by the name of Rush Mckay
had been accused by his wiie's brother,
Tom Ivy, of mistreating his wife. The
parties had met at Beth Eden for the
purpose of going into trial in a justice
court about the matter, each side bring
ing their families and friends. Here is
where the trouble began. The crowd
gathered, the parties met, hot words
cnsued, which resulted in resort to
firearms, and now the two men are
dead and several others are seriously
wounded. Mckay and Ivy, the two
principals in the lawsuit, were killed
outright; the constable, Roby Ivy, who
is kinsman of Tom Ivy, was danger
ously shot, the ball taking effect in the
neck. Mrs. Ivy, wife of the man who
was killed, was also accidentally shot
in the breast, the ball lodging in the
region of the heart. Two bystanders
are also reported as being wounded by
stray balls. The weapons used were
pistols.
