KILLED AND BODY
 LEFT IN THE ROAD A White Masked Mob WreakS Vengeance'on LaPeace. A WOMAN IN THE STORY Relatives of the Murdered Man Claim Crime Is Due to Po,itics-Special
 Meeting of the Grand Jury
 Has Been Called.
A WOMAN IN THE STORY

New Orleans, October 1.-The killing of Judge Basil LaPlaee today was one of the most sensational which has taken place in Louisiana in many years. The report in the vicinity is that a young lady was in- yolved. Her father was connected with the plantation and left there yesterday seeking to take his daughter with him. She escaped from him and remained be- hind.
 About 10 o'clock at night some one came to the door and called for the judge. He dressed and came out, and while walking down the high stairway to the road mob with white masks suddenly rose around him, seized him and plnioned his arms.
 He was led some distance, when the crowd halted, and one man placed pistol to LaPlaces back and sent a bullet through his kidneys, killing him instantly. The body was left in the road, rain fell upon 1t during the night and it was rescued from the mud by relatives who went up from New Orleans this morning.
 These relatives aver that the killing was political, but the woman story is generally known, and the mob's action was based upon the fact that Judge LaPlace was a married man, his family residing at La- Place, few miles away, named after his distinguished father.
 Judge Post has called a meeting of the grand jury of the parish for tomorrow.

In There are also the Georgia of the same line, the Ems, of the North German Lloyd from Genoa and Naples; the Anchor liner Alsatia, also the Mediterranean ports, and the North German Lloyd steamer Friender- ich der Crosse, from Bremen, besides a number of West Indian coasters and freight liners
 A number of liners are scheduled to sail today that may be detained by the fog, of which are the St. Louis, for Southamp- ton; the Germanic, for Liverpool, and the Southwark, for Antwerp. The weather con- . ditions for yachting are much the same as yesterday.

IMPORTANT CASE IN CHANCERY COURT
 Hearing of Petition of Mrs. Susie Martin Morris
IN ELYTON LAND co. MAT TER
Seeks to Invalidate Trap sfer of Property to Elyton Go. and to Remove F. M. Billings as Receiver.
 Other Courts.

An important case is being heard in the chancery court in which it is sought to invalidate the transfer of the property of the Elyton Land company to the Elyton company, and to place the proDarty in the hands of a receiver other than I. M. Bill lings, whose removal is asked.
 The hearing is on the petition of Mrs. Susie Martin Morris who makes sensation al allegations against the methods employ ed in transferring the property.
 The petitioner sets forth in her petition that she is the owner and holder of twenty six and one-half shares of the capital stock of the Elyton Land company which, if not permitted to be diminished by the action complained of, are of much greater value than par, or $1,OOO per share.
 She further alleges that on October l, 1891, the officers and majority stockholders in the E1yton Land company and the Ely ton company, who were in each company the same individuals, illegally and wrong fully conspired together to deprive the shares of the minority stockholders of the Elyton Lond company of their true and . rightful value by creating and fixing a bonded indebtedness on the entire prop
  encumbered.
 The petition which has previously been mentioned in The Age-Herald is a volu1ni- nous document and sets forth at length the various stages through which the prop erty has passed.
 The argument was begun yesterday be- fore Chancellor Carmichael and an array of legal talent both sides. The petition CT is represented by Cabaniss & Weakley, and the respondents by London London, Former Governor Jones and others.
 The arguments will probably be conclud- ed this afternoon and the case submitted.
 City Court The case of M. F. Webb vs. Perryman & Co., for breach of contract is on trial in the first division of the city court.
 In the second division two cases, with l.. D. Brandes as complainant, against the Sloss Iron and Steel company, are on trial.

POPE DAVIS CAUGHT
 AT BATON ROUGE, LA
One of the Men Who Escaped From Deputy Sheriff Some Months Ago
 at the Jail.

Pope Davis, who escaped from deputy sheriff at the county jail, together with Jim Young and Ira Stout, about six months ago, has been captured in Baton Rouge, La. and will be brought back,
 Davis was located through information sent out by Sheriff O'Brlen, and his cap ture in the far away city evidences to the efficiency of the sheriff's information bu- reau.
 A rather peculiar coincidence occurred in connection with the capture which at first led Sheriff OBrien to believe that he was being duped. He received a telegram from Baton Rough, signed U. T. Young, sheriff ' asking if Davis was still wanted on the. charge of assault with intent to murder
 The name signed to the telegram was the name of one of the men who escaped with Davis, and the sheriff concluded that the pair were having a little fun at his expense. He immediately wired the mayor of Baton Rouge asking if J. T. Young was either received reply that he was both. He then wired Sheriff Young to arrest the man and hold him until some one could come for him, which was done.
 After the escape more than two thousand photographs and descriptions of the men were sent out and reward of $50 each of- fered for their capture.
 Deputy Sheriff Waldrop left this morning for Baton Rouge to bring Davis back.
