TO BUY TELEPHONES.
Reported That Western Union Will
Enter Field Against the Bell

WABASH, IND, March 3.-From
source which is entirely Trustworthy
it is learned that the Western Union
Telegraph Company will shortly under
take the acquisition of the telephone
toll lines and exchanges in Northern
Indiana, incorporating he same in
vast telephone system and operating
it as a rival to the Bell company, with
which the Western Union is on any
thing but friendly terms. Representa-
tives of the Western Union within the
last two weeks have been making care
ful inquiries in Northern Indiana cities
concerning the independent exchanges,
the number of patrons, expenses, reve-
nues, receipts from long distance opera
ton, and cost of the plants. Wherever
there is an Independent exchange the
local telegraph managers are instructed
to use the independent instruments to
the exclusion of the Bell One connec
ted with the Western Union in a re-
sponsible position states that the pur-
pose of the recent issue of Western I'm
ion bonds 20.O0O,OO0, double the
amount anticipated-is 10 establish a
long distance system of telephones,
which will enable it to cope success
fully with the Bell in its own field, and
this statement is borne out by the in
terest taken by the telegraph company s
representatives in the local telephone
systems. Ii is purpOsed to operate the
telephone and telegraph under the gen
eral charter Of the Western Union.-

MAURY COUNTY
REAL ESTATE.
Land to the Enormous Amount oil
Nearly $2,500,0OO
Changed Hands From Nov. /, 1898
to Feb. 90, 1o0O-A Good
Showing.

Deputy Register W. A. Willis has
just finished compiling the real estate
transfers which have been registered in
the Registers Office of this county from
Nov. l, 1898, to Feb. %, 1904 little
less than sixteen months.
The result shows that during that per-
iod real estate to the enormous amount
of 50, ,412, ,001 changed hands. This is an
average of about S150,750 per month,
or at the rate of nearly $1,000
900 per year. On these transfers
State taxes to the amount of S2,412
were paid, while 2,582 was paid over to
Uncle Sam for the privilege of sticking
revenue stamps thereon.
This is an evidence of the great acti-
vity in Maury County real estate, and
especially in phosphate lands, during
the past year or 50. 1t iS safe to say
that no other county in the State can
make such a showing.

POSED AS
"CAPT. CLARK. ;.
J.sI. MOyse, Former First Missis.
sippi Soldier,
Creates Sensation at New Orleans
Gained Bad Reputation While
In Columbia.

New Orleans, March "A romance
that may have trag.c consequences
developed here Thursday. A man
who gives several names and has
told a number of conflicting stories
is locked up at police headquarters.
1t is charged that he impersonated
Capt. Clark, of the battleship Texas,
which is now at this port, and in
duced Miss Bertha Warten, of Cincin-
natl, to marry him. Miss Warten,
with her brother-in-law, Alex. Aron-
son, of 10 South canal street, and the
latter's family, were stopping at the
st. Charles hotel, where they made
the acquaintance of the man who rep
resented himself to be Capt Clark.
After a courtship of ten days, the
wedding was celebrated Wednesday
afternoon. Wednesday night "Capt.
Clark" went aboard the battleship
and actea in such a manner as to
arouse the suspicious OF the officers.
He was locked up and this fact led to
an investigation by Miss Warten's rel
atiyes. The bride is Frustrated.
After the marriage, Mr. Aronson went
down to the st. Charles and engaged a
suite of room for the bridal couple, and
Capt. Clark said that there should be q
reception on the Texas. and it should be
specially illuminated in honor of the oc
casion The reception was set for
O'Clock. Just before that hour, Capt
Clark excitedlv joined his little family
party and announced that one of his
Leutenants. George j. Collins, had dice
on the hattleship and that the reception
was off He had Undertaken Lynch
called for and the funeral directors re
sponded with coffin and embalmine
materials Then Capt. Clark and Mr.
Aronson jumped into carriage, anC
with the undertaker and his par
aphernalia, hurried out to the river
He was full of excitement and wanted {
tug. One was gotten and the Captain
was hurried out to the ship He boarded
her and then calling himself Captain
at jackson Barracks, demanded co know
if Lieut. Colson was really dead.
The officers of the Texas, taking hin
for lunatlc promptly hustled hin
ashore When he reioined Mr.. Aronsol
and Mr.. Lynch on the levee, he sale
Colson was not yet dead. and dismissin!
the under aker, was driven back will
Mr.. Aronson to the hotel.
This mornings papers contained ;
story of the sensational exploit last nigh
of bogus Capt. Clark and his visi
to the Texas. The articles showed tina
Capt Clark was either insane or fakir
Mr.. Aronson read the papers and for tn
first time it dawned on him that hi
sister law had probably been the vic
tim of cruel deception. 1t did no
take long for him to find Capt. Clark
denounce him as fraud, call the polio
and order his arrest as a dangerous an
suspicious character.
After further investigation of th
matter, the man was Unidentified as j. j
Moyse, of G. -eenville. Miss. At Littl
Rock. Ark, he represented himself to b
an officer in Mississippi regiment.

CLARK WAS IN COLUMBIA.
Was Private in One of the Mississippi
Regiments.

The "Capt. Clark" referred to above,
it has developed, was private in the
First Mississippi regiment, which was
in Columbia several weeks and was
mustered out here.
While here he went under his real
name, Moyse, and gained the reputation
of being very gay deceiver. He
boarded with Mrs. I. j. Rea on South
High street, and tried to beat his board
til there. Several merchants in the
city also became his victims. He took
leading part in ''cakewal one night
at the Odd Fellows Hail.
Moyse was a man of very pleasing ap-
pearance, and it was reported while he
was here that he had on former occas-
ions. while the regiment was encamped
at other places, passed himself eff as an
officer to carry out his purposes.

AN OLD BUILDING.
How the Nelson Block, on North
Main Street, Was Built.

1t will be interesting to many persons
to know that the old Nelson block on
North Main street, which was first
used as hotel, was built on the sub
scription plan. In 1859 number of the
best citizens in the town banded them
selves together, each contributing 500
or 500, making the total amount S6, 700,
and constructed the hotel. Such an
enterprise in those days was great inn
provement to the town, and it shows
..at commendable public spirit was
then abroad. Ii more of that spirit per
vaded the city of Columbia to-day, there
would be more enterprises built here.
The following lien appears on record
in the Registers office, having been
registered Aug. s, 1859
"WHEREAs, the taverns in Columbia
are too small for the accommodation of
the public, and we all feeling ourselves
more or less interested in having good
taverns in our town, do hereby agree
and obligate ourselves to pay to L.
Nelson or order the sums annexed to
our names, .......,.... and the said Nelson
obligates himself 10 refund annually to
each subscriber the interest and one
tenth OF the principle sum until the
whole is repaid; and if any subscriber
is willing to take it out in boarding he
has the right to do so at any time"
The parties subscribing the funds
were as follows: r. B. Mayes, w. j.
Dale, W. Galloway, James L. Guest,
Edward Williams, Edward F. Lee, A.
