MINISTER DUPES
HIS CONGREGATION
TELLS WOMEN OF WEST DEcA-
TuR THEY SHOULD NOT WEAR
FHLLS NOR JEWELRY-GETS
AWAY WITH JEWELS.

Decatur, September 19-(SpeciaL)-A
few weeks ago a stranger by the name
of Stafford appeared in West Decatur,
saying that he was a minister of the gos-
pei, and at once started revival meet
ing in the school house of West Deca-
tur. After preaching several sermons he
told the good people of the neighborhood
that the Christian ladies should not wear
ruffles on their dresses, neither should
they wear jewelry of any kind. He thus
induced several of the ladies of his flock
to turn their jewelry over to him. He re-
ceived several finger rings watches, etc.
different parties in the Decaturs. and then
left for parts unknown, leaving his wife
behind.
Where he came from or whether or not
he was a preacher is unknown to the peo-
pie here. However, he was good talker
and seemed to- win the good confidence OF
many of the people.
The public schools of both Decatur and
New Decatur opened this morning with
the largest attendance that they nave
ever had.
The white school of Decatur is temper
arily located in the Toadvine block. Inc
city has torn down the old frame school
structure which has stood for many years,
and there is now being erected In its stead
a modern brick structure three stories
high. The school will occupy this building
as soon as it is completed. The work Will
be rushed.
The new Carnegie library is almost COM
pleted and work is well under way on the
new brick Presbyterian church which Will
cost upwards of 100000
Besides all these improvements Decatur
has and is now building many handsome
residences. A new parsonage for the First
Methodist church has just been complet-
ed, and is now being occupied by the pas
tor, the Rev. ]. d. Ellis
The Central Methodist church of New
Decatur has purchased a handsome resi-
dence on Cottage Row, near the church.
which is to be used as a parsonage Inc

residences in New Decatur and will be
occupied by the pastor, Rev. s. r. Elmer

to her history. Late Saturday night
tragedy took place some miles north of
Athens whereby young farmer will lose
his life, his brother remain a cripple and
two young men are in jail facing
serious charge.
John and Conyon Young, two prominent
young farmers, living seven miles north
of Athens, while returning from town,
were overtaken by two neighbor boys.
Ode Laxson and Wallace Barksdale, and
ordered from their buggy to settle
former difficulty. The Youngs both alight-
cd from their buggy, and as they did SO
they saw the CLINT of a revolver in the
hands of young Laxson, and not being
armed they attempted to get back into
their vehicle, when Laxson began firing
upon them, shooting both in the back.
Conyon Young received two desperate
wounds either of which the attending
physicians think sufficient to produce
death, while his older brother John was
shot In the back and his right hand and
arm badly shot. They managed to get into
their buggy and hurried to their home,
only a short distance from the scene of
the trouble. Physicians were summoned
and it was soon seen that the balls from
the Al Colts had put Conyon beyond the
help of medical aid. more than to bring
relief from his sufferings by the admins
tration of opiates. The brother Is serious
ly wounded but not fatally.
Are Now In Jail.
The two young men who were the ag-
gressors in this bloody drama, are now in
Jail. Barksdale claims to have had Moth
ing to do with the tragedy mere than
that he happened to be in company with
Laxson who was his friend and neigh
Dor and both returning from town, when
the trouble took place. Laxson says he
shot in self-defense as the Youngs were
approaching him with open knives. The
Youngs claim that they were laying in
wait for them with a view of killing
them both, and that they were not ex-
pecting or seeking trouble. The addition
of these two makes eight white men In

THE COMMISSIONERS ANSWER.
Claim That Deed Was Given to Emily
Wiltsie in 1908.

The Commissioners Of the District of CO.
lumbia, through Corporation Counsel Du-
vail and Assistant Corporation Counsel
Thomas, today filed answer to the petition
for the writ of mandamus presented to the
court the 18th instant by Elias E. Barnes
The latter seeks to compel the Commission
ers to execute to him a deed to part of lot
0, square 7SS. Mr.. Barnes asserts that he
purchased the property In question at
tax sale in April. 1898. and became en-
titled to a deed to the same at the end
of two years, the property not having been
redeemed as required by law, but he adds,
the Commissioners refuse to execute a deed
to him.
In their answer the Commissioners say
that If the sale to Mr.. Barnes was valid
his failure to pay taxes in arrears for the
years 1894, 1895 and 1896 effectually pre-
vents the vesting of any legal right in him
to seek remedy against them. They add.
however, that July 10, 1903, before the
application Of Mr.. Barnes for a deed, the
property was duly sold at private sale,
under the provision of the act of July 1,
1902, to Emily Wiltsie, who complied with
the requirements of the purchase, and a
deed was delivered to her November r.
1903. The Commissioners further declare
that under the act of July l. 1902 because
of the default of Mr.. Barnes for more than
two years after his purchase to pay the
arrearages of taxes, Emily Wi1tsie became
entitled by virtue of the private sale to
deed. clear and free Of any claim of Mr..

MALAGA RELEASED TONIGHT
Surrender to British a Surprise to Rus
sian Captain

ALG1ERS. July 27.-The Peninsular and
Oriental Steamship Companys steamer Ma
iacca. which was seized in the Red sea
July 10, by the Russian volunteer fleet
steamer st. Petersburg, has arrived here
with a prize crew on board.
After a protracted conference on hoard
the Malacca between the British and Rus
sian consuls and Captain Schwartz COM
manding the prize crew, 1t was announced
that the Russian flag would be replaced
by the British at o'clock this evening.
The orders to surrender the Malacca were
evidently a complete surprise to Captain
Schwartz, who Immediately after his ar
rival notified the French naval authorities
that he required six hundred tons of coal
and a good supply of water and provisions
to take him to Libau In the Baltic It was
not until an hour later that the Russian
consul, NJ. Towaizevsky. boarded the Ma
lacca and informed Captain Schwartz of
the settlement of the difficulties regarding
the Malacca since the vessel sailed from
Port Said
The prize crew will be landed this even
ing. Lodgings were provided for the crew
by the French naval authorities. The Ma
lacca's British crew recently arrived at
Marseille, and 1t is expected that they will
be summoned to take charge of the ship,
which will resume her interrupted voyage
eastward.
1t transpires that during the Malacca's
voyage in the Mediterranean to this port
two British warships escorted her for a
short time and then disappeared. ~ ssa,=-s

PRESS KEEPING STILL
Significant Russian Silence
Over Red Sea Acts.
PLACED ON NAVY LIST
IMPERIAL UKASE TRANSFERRED
SEVEN MERCHANTMEN.
Believed That They Will Be Sent at
Once to Replace Volunteer
Fleet Steamers.
PLACED ON NAVY LIST

ST. PETERSBURG, July 27.-The Rus
sian press has been significantly silent for
two days past regarding complications over
the acts of the Red sea cruisers Not a
single word of comment appears IN this
mornings newspapers concerning the sink
ing of the British steamer Knight Com
mander, and there is no doubt that the
government has requested the papers to
refrain from printing their views on the
affair. The government deprecates the
provocative attitude of the British press
and probably does not desire that the Rus
sian papers shall add fuel to the flames.
An imperial ukase has been issued plac-
ing seven merchantmen, purchased abroad
during the last few months. on the navy
list, four of them as second-class cruisers
These four have been rechristened Don
Ural. Terek and Kouban. The other three
have been renamed Irtysh, Anadyr and Ar
gun, and are listed among the transports.
The former identity Of these vessels Ia not
revealed. There is reason to believe that
the cruisers will be sent at once to the
Red sea to replace the volunteer feet
steamers, the war status of which Is in
dispute.
Lack Of Press Comment.
The lack of press comment is noteworthy.
Even while the British are calling for the
most energetic action against Russia, some
Of the Russian papers calmly continue to
dwell upon the advantages of q Russo
British understanding.
The Russian government has not re-
ceived through the American embassy here
any representations on the subject Of tho
sinking of the Knight Commander or the
capture Of the Arabia or other vessels
having American goods on board Great
Britain also has not yet made a formal
protest, but there Is reason to believe that
the general right of warships to sink neu-
trail vessels claimed to have contraband on
board is being discussed both here and in
London, and the seriousness of such acts
will be emphasized in the presentation Of
the specific case Of the knight Com
mander.
1t may be that there will be considerable
delay on account of lack of information
upon which to make an issue, as both the
British crew and passengers of the knight
Commander. 1t is asserted here, as held
as witnesses on board the vessels forming
the Vladivostok squadron.
