It is said that the two men were seen together late in the evening and one report was to the effect that they were quarrelling. About 2 o'clock MT. Hilton stated to some one in the vicinity that he had parted with Mackey about dark; that soon afterward he heard him, and that he went to him and found that he had been murdered.
 The remains of Mackey were carried to his home. Hilton went to his own home and retired as usual. During the night a warrant was sworn out for his arrest. This morning Sheriff Adams was at the home of Hilton before the latter had got ten up and arrested and carried him to the jail at Edwardsville.

MR. TALLY IS NOT
 IN THE CONTEST
RACE FOR CIRCUIT JUDGE IN THE NINTH CIRCUIT NOW LIES BE- TWEEN MESSRS. HARALSoN AND BlLBRo.

Scottsboro, October 17.-(Special.) )-In an interview tonight with Judge John B.. Tally, relative to his candidacy for judge of the Ninth judicial circuit, he states that on October he reached the conclu- sion that the governor would not likely call the legislature together, and at once caused a petition to be filed with the secretary of state with the view of enter ing the race. He was advised by many that it was right to do so.
 After carefully considering the matter. however, he has reached the conclusion that ought not to make the race, but let it be settled between Judge Bilbro of Etowah and MT. Haralson of DeKalb, the two candidate who received the nomina- tion in portions of the territory compris- ing the old Ninth circuit. He will not, therefore, be a candidate.
 He has reached this conclusion and takes this course in the face of numerous letters and telegrams offering support, with fatterng prospects, These he very much appreciated. He has written Judge Bilbro and Mir. Haralson, announc- ing his conclusion.

What the Undertakers Did.

Sam Foley past president of the State Funeral Directors association, who was a delegate to the National Funeral Direc- tors association, which was in session at St. Louis last week, returned home last night. He talks Interestingly of the work accomplished by the convention.
 we had the largest and most success full convention in the history of the or der,' he said. More delegates were present and more actual work was trans acted than at any previous session.
 Tn conjunction with the Baggage Mas ters' association, new transportation rules were adopted. The new rules will greatly assist the funeral directors and the bag gage men in transporting the dead.
 The association and the Sunday Rest convention practically agreed upon laws that will abolish Sunday funerals, except in cases where it is only absolutely nec- essary.
 "The convention was also in favor of the government taking some action to prevent burials at sea. Committees were appointed to confer with the government officials and endeavor to get them to pro- vide every ship with an experienced em- palmer and fifty gallons of embalming fluid. in order that all the remains of persons dying while at sea might be em- balmed and turned over to ther relatives when the ship reached land.
 we had delegates this year from Hawaii and next year I think the asso- citation will be represented in Cuba and Porto Rico"
