Mr.. In. Gereiy Deac.

A telegram was received in
Columbus yesterday afternoon
announcing the death of Mr.. j. NJ.
Gerety. which occurred 10 New
Orleans yesterday morning. Mr..
Gerety was married 10 Miss Ju-
liza Meek in this city less than
three weeks ago. and his death
was severe shock to the family
and friends of that young lady.
It seems that Mr.. Gerety had
been In bad health for several
months past and the general i'm
preston among his friends was
that he was afflicted with heart
trouble. When he reached New
Orleans, however, the physicians
diagnosed his case as Blight's
disease and that is believed TO
have been the cause of his death.
Mr.. Gerety's widow is a men,
Der of one of our oldest families,
and has numerous friends here
who SINGER ely Sympathize with
her in the great loss which she
has sustained.
The remains will be brought
here for interment, but neither
the time or place for holding The
funeral services has as yet been
decided upon.

a Case For Sherlock Holmes.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has
recently resurrected Sherlock
Holmes, and If that famous
character in fiction could appear
in Columbus in the flesh he
would find case that would
doubtless, battle his powers as a
detective. for no one has yet been
able to find out the object of the
visit of the party of civil
engineers who are now engaged
in sHrveyinga line between this
city and West Point. The party
is in charge of Mr.. J. Imbney
Miller, and besides that gentle
man contains Messrs. Alfred
Meschaud, A. e. Hussey, f. p.
Holden, j. w. Sussex and E. G.
Scoby. These gentlemen ar
rived in the city last Sunday,
and on the following morning
went to work in the field with
rod and chain, telling no one the
object of their labors.
1t has been impossible to see
Mr.. Miller, the engineer in
charge, as that gentleman
spends most of his time in West
Point, where he seems To be
making his headquarters. The
other memb ers of the party are
in Columbus every night. and
several of them have been inter
viewed a by DISPATCH reporter
From none of them, however,
could any information be Sc
cured, and it is extremely doubt
full if they them selves know the
object of the work in which they
are engaged, Heads of cor
porations are not given to max
ing confdents of their employees,
and the surveyors seen by THE
DISPATCH man did not strike
him as men in whom great Sc
crets would be confided.

have been the object of much
gossip around the street corners
and drug stores during the past
week, and many theories as to

glad to see another fund started
to bring out the full voting
strength of our own State in the
coming election. In my opinion,
next To Democratic success in

of Mississippi is a full vote. The
duty to vote at the coming cleo
ton is Just as urgent as in re
construction days when crapet

was threatening the overthrow
of our State. Our Peerles John
Sharp Williams s heing tainted
in the North with the fact that
his district in the last general
election polIed only about HOO
votes. This argument is being
used with effect in the North, and
the effort to cut down our rep
resentatiOn in Congress and our
electoral strength started by
Crumpacker and other South
haters in the last Congress will
be renewed if we do not show
our full strength in the coming
election. The press of the State,
our public speakers and every
loyal Aississippian should urge
the necessity OF full vote. Let
Us throw our apathy to the winds

James Boys ssou theatre I0ednsa4 Night

the probable object of their visit
have been advanced. One
general sugges i IN is that the
Illinois Central is figuring on ex-
tending its line from West Point
to this city, and that the survey
i being made with that object IN
view. This hypothesis may or
may not be correct, but there is
ample foundation on which to
base it, for during the past year
Columbus has handled more
freight than Aberdeen, Stark
vile and West Point com bined,
and as the Illinois Central is out
for business they are probably
anxious to enter Columbus and
get III the game. "
Another explanation offered and
the one which meets general be
lief is that he surveyors are 10

railway. This explanation is
bourne out by their presence on
the principal streets of this city
for the past few days and their
work in surveying a route west
of this city is accounted for in
the suburban park or country
resort which the line would prob
ably run TO. 1t has been said
that they were running a line to
Waverly and this would be an
ideal place for a summer park
and summer amusement. For
the past few days they have been
surveying within the city limits
and il is generally understood
that they are running the pre-
liminary lines or the street rail-
way.
