 Up in County Jail.

Ben Lewis, coiored, was shot and killed last night about 7:s0 o'clock by Heron Jackson, another negro. in front Of the Two shots were fired by Jackson, both entering Lewis's right breast. Lewis was taken to the police station where he was given medical attention by Dr. M. B. Kirkpatrick, who was called In.
 It Is claimed by Jackson that the shoot ing was in self defense. Lewis is said to have struck him with a walking stick, knocking him to the ground. As he rose to his fet he says, he fired to prevent another blow.
 The trouble which eliminated ip the shooting last night was the result of an altercation earlier in the day in re. gard to a pigeon. which Lewis claimed had been killed by Jackson's young son. The homes of the negroes are on East Grove Street. It seems that there had been trouble for some time between them on account of chickens going from one yard to the other. Early this morning Lewis saw Jackson's son picking pigeon in the rear of the house. He said that of killing 1t. He later found his mis- take by counting his birds, but the all tercation had caused hard feelings on both sides. and later in the day Lewis Is No. g Commerce Street. where there was another row.

 Lewis ran up the street about forty wards, falling just in the entrance Of Loeb & Neumans place:
 A large crowd collected as if by magic and for a time the whole sidewalk ana a part of the street was blocked.

RECEIVER TO BE APPOINTED
Will Be Named by Judge
 Jones Today.
Two Names Were Suggested to cour, Yesterday, But an Agreement Could Not Be Heached-Will
 Continue Business.

1t developed yesterday that the agere- gate amount of, the creditors of The Fair" will be above the $100,00o mark. Judge Jones will pass on the receivership for 'T he Fair' at 10 o'clock this morning. The matter of the appointment of re- cciver was set for hearing at o'clock yesterday afternoon before Judge Jones. and was presented in open court. Coun- sel for '"rhe Fair did not object to the appointment of receiver. and suggested that w. J. Mattel be appointed.
 Mir. Mattel was identified for many years with "The Fair" and was thor oughly acquainted with the workings of the concern. Mir. Naftel Is now engaged in business for himself. The counsel for the creditors suggested the name of N. Lobman as receiver. They said while there was no charge to make against MT. Mattel, the creditors whom he represent! cd had agreed on Mir. Lobman and the court was>asked to appoint him.
 There was then some argument among the lawyers. it being insisted on one hand and denied on the other, that the credit ors who filed the petition and others who united with them. should control in the choice of the receiver.
 Judge Jones then announced that he would restrain the management of 'The Fair from disposing of any property. otherwise than by sales for cash in the ordinary course of business, until further order of the court, and pass upon the appointment of receivers this morning at 10 o'clock. The lawyers insisted that the matter be not delayed. The judge said the restraining order would protect every one concerned. It was urged that a re- ceiver ought to be appointed, to take out insurance. as the insurance companies might cancel their policies. The judge said if that happened. he would appoint some officer of the court to take out a policy for the creditors: that in the selec- tion of the person for receiver was in- volved to some extent the question whether the business should be kept as & going concern, and there were other matters of importance to creditors and the large number of employees. He would, therefore, take until tomorrow to con- sider the names of those suggested for receiver. Mir. Hausman urged immediate action, but Judge Jones declined to hear any further suggestions as to the course he should pursue, and ordered the court adjourned until this morning at 10 o'clock. It was learned that after the court ad- journed, the lawyers on both sides had a conference with the Judge at his cham bers, but what was done could not be ascertained.
 During the argument, it developed that the aggregate amount of the creditors will be over the $100. 900 mark. Mir Crum said there were attorneys present who represented creditors who had claims az gregating $50,000. MT. Rushton said that Mrs. Hurter was creditor to the amount of $50, 0,00o and much of this amount was indorsed notes.

COTTON FOR THE ORIENT.

Large Increase in Exports of the Staple from Pacific Coast Points. Seattle Speal to New Orleans Times Democrat.
 The shipments of cotton to the Orient from this port are becoming larger and larger, and there is every reason to be- lieve that this years record will greatly eclipse that of last year. The steamship Kaga Maru of the Nip pan Yuseu Kaisha Line sailed today for
 Japan with a cargo of about $500 tons, valued at almost $500. .000 More than two- thirds of this amount is represented by
 the cotton in her hold. consigned to the
 various ports at which the liner will much.
 An examination of the manifest of the
 steamship shows that in the aggregate
 she carries 15.s75 bales of cotton, both in
 the round and square forms, valued at
 $OS4, 1S Almost all the shipments are for
 merchants in Japan.
 The rapidly increasing trade in cotton and other light textile fabrics Is shown
 by the fact that a part of the cargo of the Kaga Maru consists of 1,51s bales of sheeting and .lomestics, aggregating 90,- $I7 yards, valued at $53 320.
