THE CONFEDERATE DEAD.
Flow ers are Laid on the Graves of
Veterans.

AVW GID csAG Ad4A VII bAC dIdNGb VI
Veterans.
The courthouse was completely
filed last Friday, it being the an
niversary occasion to meet for the
purpose of decorating the graves
of the Confederate dead.
A program not having been pre-
viously arranged, the following
was improvised:
First, song and invocation. Next
came an address by Hon. T. M.
Pierce, splendid oratorical effort,
glowing in tribute to the heroes of
the lost cause and brilliant in eulo-
gy of their yalor. Mr.. Pierce is
justly entitled to the distinction of
an orator. His address on this
occasion was deservedly popular
one.
Mrs. Mary Dean Wheeler sang
Dixie in a full, rich voice and a
breadth of feeling which moved to
tears many in the audience. This
popular air which has electrified
the South and stirred mems souls
as no other war song has ever done,
was hailed with absolute delight.
Dixie to-day is better known than
the national air itself, an apt illus.
tration of which was made by a
New England girl visiting London
few years ago, when asked the
name of Americas national air
promptly replied that it was Dixie.
The fact is Dixie is national in
popular favor. 1t brings applause
in the North and wherever it is
heard.
The drill by the little girls
came as the next number, five of
whom wore the blue and five the
grey. This was one of the most
interesting feature of the occasion.
Following the words of recital
given by MissCora Wingo the little
girls gave performance illustra
tive of the strife, trials, defeat,
submission and finally the uniting
of the blue and gray over the
bloody chasm. The effect was
Y touching
Next in order was a song by |
Miss Wootson Davis. This young
lady is deservedly popular and her
music always pleasing. She has
voice of strength and excellent
quality. T he selection, Annie
Laurie, was rendered to delight
ed audience. Another selection
Fwas given by the Union City Con-
cert band, after which Mr.. Wagner,
the director, was presented with a
beautiful bouquet Of flowers,
gift from Mrs. Fl. S. Sacra.
Attorney j. i. Fry was the next
orator Of the occasion. His ad.
dress was delivered in splendid
style. 1t should have been better
tlassed as an essay and from that
point considered among the sue
cesses of the day.
Miss Davis and Miss Rosa Dean
sang Old Folks at Home as duet.
This was enjoyed thoroughly, elic-
iting an encore.
DR.. Matlock then came forward
with an appropriate address. He
had been selected to deliver the
crosses Of honor. They, however,
bot having been received, the {
oung ladies were assigned to the
alty Of pinning ribbons on the
ats Of veterans who were to re-
We the crosses.

THE NEUTRALITY NOTE.
Acceptances by Austria Hungary and
Portugal.

According to State Department official,
there will be no more notes exchanged at
present relative to the naturalization OF
China and the restriction of the theater or
war to certain limits. Having induced the
powers to accept the general principle OF
naturalization. the State Department feels
that that chapter is closed. An attempt to
go into details at this time would almost
certainly tend to disrupt the present satis-
factory arrangement, for one or the other
of the powers would have something to
suggest which would. be bone of conten-
tion.
So there will be no further exchanges
on this subject in the present temper OF the
State Department unless some overt act Is
committed by one of the belligerents- II

MAKES FALSE CHARGE.
James Jones Fined $500 for Carrying
Revolver

The sound of a pistol shot on Francis
]. street southeast about o'clock yesterday
afternoon caused considerable excitement
on that thoroughfare and word was sent
to the police of the fifth precinct that a
| murder had been committed. Bicycle Po-
| liceman Dent mounted his wheel and hur-
ried to the street, where he found James
Jones, colored. in his home suffering con-
siderable pain from a gunshot wound in his
| right leg. The patrol W gon was summoned
and the injured man was conveyed to Provi-
renee Hospital. where the surgeons located
and removed a pistol bullet from his leg.
White awaiting the arrival of the patrol
wagon Jones declared that he had been shot
by colored man named John Fleet, and
the latter was located and placed under
arrest After placing Fleet behind the bars
the policeman went to the hospital to in
quire about the wounded man, and was
much surprised to be informed that Jones
had been shot by carrying pistol in his
pocket. Returning to the scene of the
shooting and interviewing number of per-
sons the officer learned that Jones had had
some trouble with Fleet and pulled a re-
volver on the latter, but returned it to his
pocket without making use of 1t. In placing
1t in his pocket the weapon was discharged,
causing the bullet to lodge in his leg.
This charge against Fleet was thereupon
dropped but he was detained at the station
house because of complaint made by Ger
trude 1homaS that he had struck her sew
eral times earlier in the day. Jones' after
having his wound dressed at the hospital,
was able to leave and was placed under
arrest and locked up at the station house
on charge of carrying pistol.
The matter was rehearsed today in Judge
Kimballs branch of the Police Court Jones
admitted that he had some trouble with
Fleet, but declared that he did not have a.
revolver and did not know how he was shot.
The witnesses, however, informed the court
to the.contrary and Jones was given the al
Tentative of paying fine of 500 or spend
I ing the next 364 days in the workhouse in
default of payment.
Fleet, who was given a hearing before
Judge Scott on the charge of assault and
battery, preferred by the Thomas woman,
was convicted and sentenced to pay a fine
of $50 or serve ninety days in Jail as the
equivalent.
