PECTEDlY VAT STATE
UNIVERSITY,
Where He Had Delivered
Address on Previous
Evening.

| Especial to The Columbus Commercial.
OXFORD, Miss, June 4th.-Sor-
row and sadness prevail on the
university campus this morning
on account of the sudden and
untimely death of Hon. A. j.
Russell, speakersof the .se of
representatives, and candidate
for governor of the state, who
delivered the annual address, a
magnificent one, here yesterday.
At the time he was suffering
greatly from sciatica, and al
though a physician was called
during the evening, nothing Sc
rious was anticipated. When the
physician left he was resting well
and his friends retired, making
frequent visits to his room during
the night. Each time they found
him perfectly quiet and he was
not disturbed. About five O'Clock
this morning they discovered that
he was dead, having passd
peacefully away while asleep.
His remains will be taken to his
home in Meridian on a special
train this evening, being accom-
panied by committee composed
or Messrs. Senter, Quinn, Baskin,
Southworth and Jones, from the
board of trustees, and other
friends.
The regular commencement ex-
ercises for this morning were to a
great extent omitted. the time be-
ing devoted to reading resolutions
Of sympathy and regret passed

faculty.

within twenty feet of him at the
time, started Immediately toward
him, but before he could reach
his side he had sunk, and the
cold waters closed over the body
which, alas, was to emerge only
from their depths as an icy
corpse. Mr.. Cookies companions
waited a few seconds, hoping that
he would rise to the surface once
more, but when they realized that
this hope was a vain one they be-
gan diving for the body. In the
meantime large number of
young men from the city had
arrived upon the scene and, quick
ly casting aside their clothing,
they, too, joined the searchers,
and at one time there were more
than fifty men diving within fifty
feet of where the body sank from
sight. The water at this imme-
diate spot, however, is more than
twenty feet deep, and all efforts
to locatethe body in this manner
proved futile. So Mr.. Cox final
ly procured g long fishing pole
and by sounding the water loca-
ted the body, which was raised to

near the river bank.
AS soon as the body was recov-
cred efforts to restore life were
commenced and were continued
for more than an hour, and under
the direction of Doctors McKin~
ley, Lipscomb and Crigler, eve. y
device known to science for resus-
citating inanimate bodies was re-
sorted to; but all were without
avail. The body had beer uoder
water for more than an hour anu
a half, and when it was finally
recovered life was completely ex-
tinct.
After all hope had beed aban-
doned the body was removed to
the residence of Mrs. S. B. Hud-
son, aunt of the deceased, and an
effort was made to no notify his
mother, Mrs. Rowena Cooke, who
for the past two months has been
visiting in st. Joseph, Mo-, where
she was the guest of her sister,
Mrs. H. w. Manning. Mrs.
Cooke had, however, LETT on Tues
day morning for San Francisco,
and it was not until yesterday
that the telegram an
nouncing the sad intelligence of
her sons death reached her, be-
ing handed her on the train at
Colorado Springs, Col. Mrs. |
Cooke started Immediately for
Columbus, and is expected to
reach here Sunday, on which |
date the funeral will probably oc-
eur.
Mr.. Cooke was we'll known and
highly esteemed both in the busi-
ness and social circles of the city,
and his untimely death is a Sc
we're shock, not only to his moth
er and other relatives, but to
arge circle of sincere and de-
voted friends who loved him and
who admired the many noble
qualities which he possessed.

DROWNED WHILE
I'm BATHING.
Mr.. F0UNTAiNE COOKE
MEETS SAD AND UN-
TIMELY FATE.
His Death a Severe Shock
To His Relatives and
Friends.

Just as the clocks in the towers
at the college and the court house
were announcing the hour of six
on Tuesday afternoon, and the
merchants and business men
were preparing to close their
doors after a day Of tedious
toll, the air Of summer quiet
and dulIness which prevailed
throughout the city was quickly
dispelled by runner who came
up from the river with the start
ling announcement that Mr.. Fon-
taine Cooke, one of the most
prominent young men of the city,
had lost his life by drowning.
Mr.. Cooke, together with Messrs.
John Hale, Will Cox, L. Goodrich,
j. R. N. Boyd, and one or two
other companions, was in swim
ming in the wash hole just oppo-
site the old Boyd saw mill, a few
rods up the river, when the acci-
dent which caused his death oc-
Cured.
Mr.. Cooke and his companions
had been in the water for some
time when, about half-past five
o'clock, he started to swim across
the river. He had almost COM
pleted the feat and was nearing
the opposite bank when he was
seized with cramp, or elss his

he called to his companions for
assistance. Mr.. Cox, who was

FUNERAL OF
Mr.. F. A. COOKE.

The funeral of Mr.. FOntaine A.
Cooke, who was drowned while
bathing in the Tombigbee river
last Tuesday, was held at St.
Paul's Episcopal church at $3.50
O'Clock Thursday afternoon, be.
ing conducted by Rev. Robert
M. Barnwell, the rector. The
church was completely filled with
the friends of the young man,
whose sterling character and
generous nature had served to
gain the admiration and esteem
of jail with whom he came in
contact. There was no young
man in Columbus who was more
highly respected or more uni
versally esteemed than was Mr..
Cooke. AS friend and in his
social relations with his fellow
men he was just and upright and
in his commercial dealings with
the business world he was hon.
est and straightforward, possess
ing that inborn nobility of char
acter and true sincerity of pur-
pose which is the birthright of
all true southern gentleman. He
was the scion of a noble and dis
tinguished race. and his sad and
untimely death cut short in its
infancy what gave promise of be-
ing successful and useful career.
1t was indeed unfortunate that
his mother was unable to be
present at the funeral, but she
was in far off Colorado when the
telegram announcing her sons
death was received, and it was

REMOVAL OF
POSTOFFICE.

The improvement IN the post
Office and the fact tha. il may be
removed from its present location
IN the G1mer hotel building has
been the occasion Of a great deal
Of talk among our merchants and
business men during the past
week, and in response TO an a3-
visement which P0st0fEce Inspec-
tor Warren recently published In
the Commercial inviting bids from
parties desirous Of furnishing the
necessary building and equip
ment, several nauering PROPOSE
tons have been made % the gov
eminent.
Inspector Warren was IN the
city yesterday, and when seen by
a Commercial reporter stated thar
beyond reaching the conclusion
that it would be entirely Tmprac-
ticable 20 Iotate the ofEce within
eighty rods of the two depots that
nothing definite had been decid-
ed upon. He refused 90 give the
names of the parties from whom
he received proposals or with
whom he had been in consulta- .
ton, but it is known thar Mr.. f..
G. Chapman is anxious 70 lease F
TO the government t&e Simpson F
building on Main str,Ss. and IS
willing to furnish the equipment
and make all necessary altera- 1
abons and improvements, The
owners of the Gilmer hotel prop
erty are also anxious 70 have the
postoflce remain in their build
ing,and with that end i'm view have
it's said, made a proposition con- .
templating many changes ana I'M F.
1t Is also rumored that the va
cant lot at the southwest corner
or Market and College streets f
which for some time past has
been owned by the Columbus In
surance ana Banking Co.. has
been sold to parties who purchas- f.
sd it with the view Of securing
he pOstOfIce for that section OF

erect a handsome three-st1ry
prick structure if the government
viii contract for its lease. The
gentlemen who are supposed %
1e interested in this deal refused
o either affirm or deny the ru-
nor Of the sale, and the bank
people declined to give out any
whatever on the sub S
ect, but from the best informa-
ion obtainable there seems 90 be g
