NO ELECTION FOR
new COURT HOUSE.
Election Commissioners Decide Net
to Hold II. Because No Arrange
ment has Been Made for Paying
the Expense Of Same.

The Maury County Election Commits
sioners held meeting Monday and de-
cided not to hold an election on the new
court house question. The reason as
signed is that there were DO funds 10
deiray the expense Of such election, the
County Court having failed, at its
recent sitting, when it requested the
commissioners to hold the election, to
provide an Appropriation for the ex-
penses of holding same.
The commissioners were not disposed
to go to the expense Of having tickets
printed, and paying judges and clerks,
then have the County Court refuse to
pay the bill, and have TO pay the same
out of their own pockets.
Judge Gordon notified the commits
sioners that he would not pay any sum
for holding said election unless ordered
to do so by the Quarterly Court, and
rather than run any risk the commits
sioners decided not to hold the election.

war with Spain and to the final declar-
alton of war. The honor of this nation
was signally maintained by the noble
work of our brave soldiers and sailors.
The mayors speech was warmly APP
plauded.
In closing the mayor offered the visit
ors the freedom of the city and told
them that their wishes were but the
pleasure of the New Taven public.
Governor Chamberlain was the next
speaker. Thanking the committee for
the honor which had been conferred on
him by the invitation, he than said that
there was not a battlefield in the coun-
TRY Wheres Connecticut blood had not
been shed, and he paid a fine tribute to
Connecticut patriotism. He then eulo-
gized the good work done by. the Span
ish War Veterans. He said that they
had well earned all the honors which
could possibly be bestowed upon them.
President Hadley. of Yale, was next
introduced and he was loudly applaud
led. He spoke, in part, as follows:
How the city of New Haven and the
state of Connecticut welcomes you has
been most aptly expressed by the two
| distinguished gentlemen who have pre-
coded me. All that is left to me is to
give you an additional welcome in the
name Of Yale university. The great
purpose Of the university is to make
men of character ana; force who, when
they go out in the world, will send out
an influence which is felt, and this Yale
spirit has been shown on many a
stormy battlefield Let us look tonight
to our war with Spain and its relation
to our history.
THE civil war was practically neces-
sary as a cutting -out process. There
was something which had to be remoV-
ed before unison could prevail. There
had existed sort Of disease in our ma
tionaI life. Henry Clay and Daniel
Webster tried to be physicians to heal
the difficulty without the use of the sur
geon's knife, but without avail.
ut was the great privilege of the
Spanish war soldiers that, instead Of
having to crush out some deteriorating
formation in our body polite, their
work tended to the building up Of the
Union when attempts We're made
against its honor
Captain Champe S. Andrews. of New
York city, formerly of Tennessee, then
Responded to the address of welcome in
a most eloquent speech The speaker
said that since the war with Spain the
feeling between the south and north
had changed; the veterans now walk
side by side to-, in many cases, the
graves Of unmarked dead and there, in
common unison, cast their tributes alike
upon the graves of men who wore the
blue and those who wore the gray.
| (ApDlause.)
In closing Captain Andrews spoke of
| the negro question in the south and
said it was one of great consideration.
Said the speaker: When Uncle Abe
cast off the letters of the slaves he
placed in their hands the ballot box.

that time. What now confront the

ers, but the graves of the brave men
who wore gray were adorned with
handsome. tribute on. the same day and
by the same hands that placed tokens
of loving praise on the last resting
place of the union and Spanish War
veterans. @ H.. s,n.. .*.4
The auditorium now in that cemetery
is much too large for service on occa-
sions of that kind, and your commander
In chief, in connection with the corps
officers Of the District of Columbia, has
taken steps for legislation that will
give new auditorium and memorial
chapel to that cemetery, the new
auditorium to be in the neighborhood of
the graves of the Spanish war dead and
the memorial chapel in a proper posi-
ton in that cemetery 1t is estimated
that the cost will be $4,000 or 100000,
but we feel sure that congress will
make the appropriation. Speaking Of
appropriations, it is proper to mention
that in the District of Columbia we
have succeeded in securing an appro-
priation from congress for a tempo
rary soldiers home in the city Of Wash

Spanish War veterans who come to the
city seeking employment pension, back
pay, etc, can find a temporary place 70
rest. This home is well conducted and
provides every comfort that can possi-
bly, be given to a cornrade.
The work accomplished by the good
women of this organization for the BEN
eft Of the comrades of our society is
beyond praise.
The war with Spain has done more to
reunite the country than anything else
that could have happened, and 1t is a
glorious sighh to see the young men Of
the south and the young men of the
north, east and west coming into one
family for the country's good, all the
nation loving one flag, and one country
only, ready to defend it at any time
| against its enemies.

WAR IN WoMEN's CAMP.
Lively Meeting of Ladies' Auxiliary
Expected To-day.

Lively Meeting of Ladies' Auxiliary
Expected To-day
There is much trouble in the camp of
the Ladies' auxiliary of the National
Army and Navy Veterans and this
trouble will perhaps be threshed out at
the convention of the women, which is
to be held in the parlors of the New
Haven house. One short session was
held yesterday but nothing tangible re-
suited and another sally will be made
this morning.
The conflict will be waged by Mrs.
Flora A. Lewis, president general, on
one side, and Mrs. Isabel Worrell Ball,
president of the district auxiliary at
Washington, D. G. Y
The matter which precipitated the
trouble was the suspension of the Dis
trict Of Columbia auxiliary and Mary
Miles, subordinate auxiliary of Wash
ington, on charges of INSTRUMENTATION,
contempt and failure to comply with
orders issued by the president general.
Then, too, the same authority suspend
ed Miss Cornelia Clay, treasurer gem
eral, on the same charges. Miss Clay
has preferred charges against the pres
ident general E&
The claim Of the suspended auxiliary
as set forth by Mrs. Ball, is that the
president general exceeded her author
1ty in suspending the auxiliaries. The
convention is the only body that can or
der suspension of members of auxil-
iaries.
Naturally, the president-general takes
an opposite view of the matter. She
and her supporters firmly believe that
the council of administration has au-
thority at all time and the suspensions
will stand. Il
Before leaving Washington Mrs. Ball
sWore out an injunction restraining
Mrs. Lewis and other national officers
from interfering with the District Of
Columbia delegates. The president
general evaded the service of the in
junction by remaining prisoner in her
own home. 1t is said she escaped by
the rear door of her home and boarded
the train for New Haven. Other ma
tional officers did the same.
An open meeting of the national aux
iliary took place yesterday afternoon,
at which the president general read her
annual report, in which she spoke in
general way of the point at issue.
Dissension will come to-day, when
the first executive session will be held.
A password has been given out which
the members must have, but the sus-
pended women have it, so another will
be given out this morning by the, presi-
ident-general to all of the delegates ex-
cept those under suspension.
At the meeting yesterday Mrs Flora
A. Lewis, president-general, made the
address of welcome, and the response
was by Miss Alice Bailey, president of
| corps auxiliary of Ohio.
The appointment of the committees
on credentials and eourtesies, the pres
ident's address, secretary's report, au-
diting and recommendations were then
taken up.
The programme for the week includes
a business meeting to-day, which will
be history maker. at which the re-
ports Of the national officers will be

UNDERNEATH A CRY.

About ten feet below the ground in
Oklahoma City is a. body of blackish
water varying in depth from five to fff-
teen feet. In sinking wells it is neces-
sary to construct casing through this
blackish water and get the pure water
some ten feet below the subterranean
lake. 1t is believed that ages ago this
was portion of vast inland sea or a
part Of the Gulf of Mexico. In digging
wells in the city many pebbles and sea
shells have been worn perfectly round
