"BLACK LIST" CIRCULATED.
Serious Question confronts Chicago

Serious Question Confronts Chicago
Retail Meat Dealers.
Chicago, July 30.-The procuring OF
meat supplies, even at the high prices
asked, has become a serious question
with many retail dealers of Chicago.
A 'black list" has been put in cir.
culation by the strikers, bearing the
names of retailers who have purchased
meat from the big packers, and the
men listed are finding it difficult to
get supplies from the independent
packers.
The system of picketing in force has
made it almost impossible for them
to buy of the big companies. The Gin.
dependent" packers have been warned
that the penalty for selling meat to
the listed retailers will be the calling
out of their own butchers.
Several retailers whose business
has been thus tied up have stated tha-
unless conditions improve by Monday
next they will go into the courts and
seek injunction against the strike lead.
ers who are responsible for the black
list. Several big markets on the west
and south sides of the city have been
forced to close.

MOORE MYSTERY.
Young Man Was Killed by Guard, It
Is Said.

| Valdosta, Ga, July 30.-The disap>
| pearance of Connie J. Moore is ex-
planned by the report which is here
given. He disappeared at Fargo last
Christmas.
1t will be remembered that young
Moore's mother sent buggy here

he would come and spend the holidays
with, her. He never reached this
city, and he left at Fargo a valise con,
tanning all of his best clothes, a new
pair Of shoes and quite a sum of money
the money being left with his EN-,
ployers, Paxter & Co All effort to
find a clew to his whereabouts have
failed and the mother of the young
man long since concluded that he ha,
been killed
Since that time one of the guards
at the convict camps there got into
some trouble and was sent to the pen
itentiary He went to serve ,lis
sentence at Milltown in Gress' camp.
The report which comes here is that
a detective has also been in that camp
for number of weeks and has mad
friends with the eX-guard The detec-
tive, it is alleged, wore double shack
els and pretended to be the most des,
perate man in the country. He free

and succeeded in getting some expert
ences from him. The most startling
was that he and another guard at Far.
go killed young Moore on the night
that he was to leave Fargo for this
city.
According to the report, his throat
was cut and he was robbed of $75
which he had drawn that day. After
killing him the body was taken to one
of the huge furnaces and thrown in
it, and pushed back in the rear of the
f1rebox. More fuel was then thrown
in the furnace and thus the body was
cremated, destroying all evidences Of
the crime which had been committed

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
Common School Fight Opened Up In
the House.

hHS F1OuSGs
Atlanta, July 30.-The fight in be.
half of the common schools Of Geor.
gia has opened up in good shape in
| the house, the question being wheth-
er the state shall make a direct ap-
preparation Of S1,0OO,000 to these
schools, or leave it at $800,OOO, the
amount which has been given for the
last four years.
A determined fight was begun yes
terday for the larger amount. Chair
man Davis, of the appropriations COM
mlttee, submitted some figures going
to show that the school fund will re-
ceive this year from all sources $110,-
600 more than ever before, and also
showing that the proposed increased
appropriations are now dangerously
near, if not beyond, the point which
the treasury can stand.
The advocates of the increased
school appropriations Of the state,
while the common school fund has
been allowed to remain stationary for
some increase is being made, and they
demand it now. The fight over this
appropriation will be continued when
the house takes up the general appro.
priations bill again on Monday.
At the afternoon session yesterday
the house passed a lot of local bills,
and disposed of other routine busi-
ness.
The st. Louis trip was heard from
again yesterday, Mr. Dunbar, of Rich
mOnd, introducing a resolution provid-
ing for the appointment of q commit

whether the legislature should take

When the discussion of the general

the house, Mr.. Dunbar, OF Richmond,
made an argument in favor of the
$4,000 appropriation to the North

GRAPHIC PICTURE OF FIGHT.
Correspondent Writes of Engagement

at Tche Lao.
st. Petersburg, July 30-A special
dispatch from Liao Yang giving a
graphic picture of the fight at Ia
Tche Kiao explains that the Russian
immunity from damage by the furious
Japanese bOmbardment was due to
the fact that the Russian guns were
mostly behind range or steep hills
and were concealed cleverly by high
grass and trees and that the Chinese
were, therefore, unable to heliQgraph
the position of the guns, as they for
merly had done to the Japanese arti'-l
lery men. The Japanese had many
large caliber guns, and used chiefly
shrapnel. They used also high ex,s
plosive shells. The 9ght was almost
wholly an artillery Rattle, and was
magnificent spectaclS.
The crest of tbG hills held by the
Russians was converted into raging
volcano and earth was thrown up in
geysers by the continuous line of the
bursting shells until sand and dust
hung in cloud overhead, and fire
among the trees and grass, started by
the shells, added a sitting smoke and
heat to the awful glare of the tropi-
cal sun. The shrapnel, like great,
white-winged birds, Sailed overhead
The moan and drone of their coming
could be heard plainly and thu Rus
slams threw themselves behind
and other shelters as the misA
burst.
The Japanese shifted the position OF
their guns, both to escape the Rus
sian fire and to the railway to locate
the masked batteries of the opponents
Late in the afternoon they got in a
good position that enabled them to
sweep the plain behind the bills occu.
pied by the Russians, and came dan.
