Another suit growing out of the
removal of the Court House from Mis-
sissippi City to Gulfport has been filed
in the Circuit Court. A suit was filed
some days since claiming land upon
which the new Court house is located,
and now the same plaintiffs sue for the
annulment of the deed to the site to
the county and for $4,000 damages
by reason of the Court house having
been placed upon the lot. The plain
iffs are: w. 0. Rogers, Jr., of New

N. j.; John B. Martin, OF Yazoo
county, Miss. Mrs. Rosa Adele Mat
tnews and Mrs. l. N. Bruuswig, of
New Orleans. The defendants are:
President J. 7. Jones, of the Gulf &
Ship Island Railroad Company, and
the County Of Harrison. The bill al
leges that the title to the property by
which Captain Jones seeks to transfer
Tene property to the County of Harri-
son is null and void, and that the
county authorities were SO advised
when about to accept the property for
the county, but that the county authori-
ties and Captain Jones conspired to
iniure the plaintiffs. for which with the
annulment of the alleged fraudulent
deeds the sum of $40, 900 is asked.

Big Cave.

Very few people know that Missis.
sippi has mammoth cave that may
be as extensive as any in existence, for
it has never been explored more than
three-quarters of q mile. Deputy
Revenue Agent A. ID. Galloway, who
has recently visited Wayne county,
says that near Waynesboro there is q
very large cave. that may contain un-
known wonders, as no exploring party
has ever ventured far into the dark
opening of the earth. The existence
of this cave is generally known to the
people OF Wayne county, bat through
out the state little is known of it. One
party of explorers some months ago
made their way into the cave about
half mile, but, not carrying to get
too far from daylight. they returned
to the opening. The cave has rooms
and halls, clear streams running
through it, and many stalactites.
How large or deep it Is no one knows.

It is announced from Fort Leaven-
worth that the government is taking
notice of army officers who married
Filipino girls after the loose fashion
Of the islands and then abandoned
them. The particular case is one in
which q young officer became engaged
to Leavenworth girl, 1t was known
that this officer had lived with a Fill
pino girl near Manila after some sort
Of marriage ceremony. The Leayen-
worth girl is said to have no obiec-
tions to the facts in the case and will
marry her lover when he gets a
divorce from his Filipino wife.
However, there is nothing particu-
larly new in the revelations with re-
spect to "morganatic" marriages by
United States army officers. Before
the civil war it was almost the Gus
tomary thing for officers stationed
in Oregon or Washington territory
to consort with Indian girls. At Ia
coma or Seattle the visitor often has
pointed out to him half-breeds who
bear the names of some of the most
distinguished civil war generals and
who are known to be the sons or
daughters of these officers. 1t is ex-
planned that when these officers were
young lieutenants they were stationed
In the wilds Of the northwest far
from the society of women of their
own kind; that they needed house
keepers; that it was the custom OF
the region for white men to consort
with indian maidens: that. according

At the little town of Puyallup; ten
miles from Tacoma, there are two
fne-looking men who bear the name
of a general who for a long time was
at the head of the quartermaster's
department of the United States
army. These men are the sons of
the general. He: married their
mother, a Pupallup Indian, when he
was lieutenant and stationed at the
Puyallup Indian agency long before
the civil war. In later years he mar
ried an American ,womanrin the far

not abandon his fas.- Il on the Pacific
coast. His sons weFE taken east and

and openly acknowledged them. On
one occasion, at least, he was accom-
panied by his American wife, who
seemed to know the circumstances
and to have accepted them phiIo-
sophically. His Indian wife lived for
some years after he had married his
American spouse, though he never
visited her. But old-timers about
