buried ct the county grave yard.
The body was found in a shoe box
neatly wrapped in a towel by J. W.
Woody, an employee Of the street de-
partment of the city, when be was
going through the alley early this
morning. Woody noticed the box and
noted the neat way it had been tied
up. He did not open the box on ac-
count of the stencil, but reported the
matter to Officers Rogers and Johnson,
who in company with License Inspec-
tor Ed. CLARK went to the place and
opened the box, finding the remains
of the child inside.
They notified Coroner Peal, who
took the body to the Nance & Spauld-
ing undertaking establishment.
Coroner Peal will not hold an inquest
and ordered the remains buried.

Nashville Men Here to Inspect
Our Streets.

of the Nashville Roof and Paving Co.,
and Mr.. George T. Castle, Of the
Warren Brothers Bitulithic Co., Of
Boston, Mass. and New York City,
arrived In the city this morning to
look over the streets and ascertain if
the resources are favorable to the
manufacture of bitulithic for street
purposes, and If it would be advisable
to put in bitulithic streets here.
Their visit to the city is the result
of the trip Of Mayor Yeiser, City
Engineer Washington and the board
OF public works to Nashville last week
to inspect the streets OF that city and
look into the manufacture of the ma
terial used.
The local delegation was pleased
with tho streets in Nashville, pro-
nouncing them better in appearance
and apparently more substantial than
our brick streets, but were undecided
about the resources, or ACCESSIBILITY OF
manufacturing bitulithic compound
for street purposes here, and accord
ingly invited the above gentlemen
to the city to look over the streets
and make recommendations
This afternoon Messrs. Ingram and
Castle. in company with Mayor
Yeiser, CITY Engineer Washington
and the board Of public works started
on tour of the city and will at
the completion of the inspection hold
q conference and arrive at some
definite conclusion. The visitors
were unable to draw any conclusion
on such short inspection as
was made this morning. but will be
in q position tonight TO say whether
OF not the city is properly situated in
resources for the manufacture of this
compound. The soil and general
weather conditions will be . big factor
in the matter, and the outcome Of the
visit is watched with in terest here.

His Victims May Number Two
Neither One Dead Yet.

Walter Ransdle, white, and John
Lacy, colored, who were shot satur'
day night at Ingleside at fish fry,
are still in dangerous condition and
Lacy is not expected to live.
Ransdle was shot in the neck,
brought here for an operation and
after the operation seemed to improve.
DR.. Tom Moss took him back home
but he does not seem to be so well
today and his physician is very anx-
ions about him.
Lacy was shot in the arms, breast
and neck and there is little hope for
his recovery. Ed Lewis, the negro
suspected of doing the shooting, has
rot been caught but blood hounds
from Fulton have been secured and

Carnival Begins This Afternoon
Parade Tonight.
Disappointed Last Night
Because of the Inclement
Weather.
SCHOOLS DISMISSED TODAY.

The opening of the carnival was
postponed last night until this after
noon on account of the inclement
weather. There were nevertheless
several hundred people at the grounds
disappointed because the gates were
not opened.
This is the worst carnival weather
Paducah ever had, especially at the
start. Usually the openings have
been suspicious, and it is matter of
sincere regret that this years has
been so gloomy. Ii is expected that
there will be rush enough to make up
for the loss Of the first night when
the crowds get started, however.
Today the schools dismissed at noon
in order that the pupils could go to
the carnival this afternoon.
mo Objectionable features" is the
pass word with the Mundy aggrega-
ton. Everything connected with
above attraction the best that money
can procure.
From the time the Mundy shows
arrived here from Memphis, much
comment has been passed on the neat
and magnificent appearance, also
with what clock like precision the
phsrphernalia WAS removed from the
Inventive gigantic cars required to
transport the Great Mundy shows.
Everything was in readiness last
evening to open, but unfortunately
the inclement weather prohibited.
The parade which was to have been o
great feature last evening, will be
positively take place this evening.
This however will not prevent the
carnival grounds from opening this
afternoon, as Col. Mundy always
makes it q point to give the little ones
free admission Tuesday afternoon.
Hundreds of tickets have been passed
broadcast to the children, so a great
attendance is expected.
The parade will take place at p.
m. this evening, starting from Second
and Broadway rs originally planned.

Soldier Boys Being Notified of
the Fines Against Them.
Those Who Fail or Refuse To Be
Ordered to Serve in
Jail.
SOME MEMBERS INDIGNANT

Today Lieutenant Percy Jordan is
personally notifying each member of
the Wheeler Guards, the local state
militia company, of the fine assessed
by the court martial and approved by
the governor for breach of discipline,
and the boys will either have to pay
or go to Jail.
The orders received with the fines
read 1.-THE fines in each of the obove
cases will be paid to the respective
company commanders. who will remit
to the adjutant general. If payment
is refused, report will be made forth
with, that order for confinement in
jail may be issued.
By Command of Governor Beck
ham. PERCY HALY,
Adjutant General"
Captain Caldwell was called out of
the city this morning and will be
unable to personally see the men and
notify them, and has left orders with
Lieutenant Jordan. All miljtiamen
fined who refuse to pay will be given
Jail sentence, the action taken in
the court martial being final and to
which no appeal can be taken.
The members who were fined we're
rather surprised by the action taken
and some were indignant. They
went into the company, it is claimed
on the other hand and we'll knowing
its restrictions violated them Cap
tain Caldwell thinks the lesson taught
them will be valuable hereafter. The
aggregate fines amount to $2i9.
What will happen If they are order
ed to Jail is not certain. II is claimed
by some civil officers that the military
authorities have no legal right to
commit members Of the militia to
Jail, or that their right to do SO lie
much in doubt that civil officers 10
not care to run the risk of damage
suits for themselves and bond men by
committing any Of the militiamen to
jail on the commitment of military
officer. In Louisville some time ago
the jsiler refused TO take soldiers
thus ordered confined and 1t was
then intended to bring test case and
have the question settled once for all,
but it WAS never done.
Sometime ago when Sheriff Lee
Potter, of this county, was given a
! lot of warrants for local members Of
the militia who failed to report for
inspection, he declined to serve them.

SOME OF THE OLDER INHABI-

1t has been reported today that
twenty years ago snow fell in Padu-

year IL showed in May, and others de-
olared positively that it never did
snow in Paducah in May.
