FEVER RECORD TO LAST
NIGHT.


New Orleans, La, Aug. 3.-Yes.
terday's reports of the fever situa.
ton showed an increase in the
number of deaths, but the health au-
thorities confessed to no alarm owe,
the situation, and said that more ia.
talities were to be looked for from
the fact that in the past three or foul
days there has been a sufficient in
crease in the number of cases to war.
rant the expectation of heavier NOR
tality.
The high temperature succeeded
by the heavy precipitation and cooler
weather produced climatic conditions
also favorable to the fatalities.
Practically all the deaths were
among the Italians.
There was no dissent among the
authorities from the view expressed
by Health Officer Kohnke. that con-
ditions were hopeful.

federal control of the situation ought
TO be invited is still discussed but un.
less graver conditions arise it is not
regarded as likely there will be any
movement in that direction.
No apprehension exists of any seri-
Gus results from trouble that has
arisen on the sissippi-Louisiana
border over the enforcement of the
Mississippi quarantine, and It H.
thought that the Mississippi soldier
who have been freely coming across
the Louisiana line will hereafter be
required to keep on their side of the
border and thus all further possibili-
ties of clashes will be removed.
Postmaster Woodward received a
letter from the railway mail service
at Atlanta saying that Greenville
Miss. had notified that Office thai
hereafter it will receive no letters
mailed from New Orleans that have
not been disnfected and that under
no circumstances will II receive news
papers whether disinfected or not.
Postmaster Woodward talked over
with marine hospital surgeons the
question of fumigation of mails, and
was told that having accepted the
mosquito theory. the surgeons con-
sidered the disinfeetion of the mail
utterly unnecessary.
The question of whether or not
the federal control of the situation
ought to be invited is still discussed
but unless graver conditions arise II
is not regarded as likely there will
be any movement in that direction.

of the firm, for allowing him to be
held up in any such light. IL is stat.
ed that when he made the remark
that he intended fixing" Loving.
he alluded to having this card pub
lished.
After he left home this morning
Rose went to his attorney for advice
on the matter, but Attorney Corbett
refused TO state anything about the
card. Rose. it is presumed, left At
torney Corbett's Office with the card

thing taken away and held by the

A shocking tragedy occurred in
the Office of the Kentucky Mil and
Lumber company in the Fraternity
building ON Broadway between
Fifth and Sixth streets. about 10
o'clock this morning when II. II.
Loving. last night elected president
of the company. shot II. A. Rose.
who resigned as president three
days ago, with 3S-calibre pistol.
inficting three wounds from which
Rose died about an hour later.
Loving refused TO make any
statement to the press. but state
ments made to his friends lmmedi-
ately after the shooting were that
he shot in self-defense.
The lumber company's Offices are
on the eastern side of the lower
floor of the building, near the front.

Three shots were fired, one TAX
ing effect in the back of the head
and penetrating the brain; the sec
ond entering the forehead and pen
etratlng the brain. II Is thought, and
the third entering the left side and
penetrating the intestines. Anyone of
the three shots fired would have
proven fatal.
The shooting came up so quickly
that even the occupants of the of
flee hardly realized what had hap
pened. The only persons in the room
were Mr.. j.. b. Gilbert. bookkeeper
for the concern and Mr., V. J. Blow,
the well known stave man who had
been conversing with Loving and
Rose on business.
The statements OF the two witness
es to the shooting are about the
same, but Loving would make no
statement. saying that he desired
TO say nothing until the matter
came regularly up for investigation.
The Paducah sun., 1905-08-03
Cause OF Trouble In Company.


II had been known for two weeks
or more that other members of the
company were trying to get rid of
Rose. claiming that he had been
selling the company's lumber by the
carload and keeping the money.
II was intimated that Rose some
time In May sold a car load Of lum-
ber out of the Cairo yard Of the
company TO a Chicago firm for some
thing over $500. and that the check
was made payable to him. and he
deposited Il in his own name In bank
and no record existed OF the sale on
the company's books.
Detective T. j. Moore was put to
traced every movement of the car
from the day il was loaded until II
was delivered and paid for.
II was expected that Rose would
be arrested last Wednesday. "A week
ago, II II was decided to prosecute
him, but Il seems that the company
decided to let him go II he paid up,
and II is said that he paid 5000 and
resigned with the company.
Since then the feeling between
Rose and some of the other mem
bers was not good. The transaction
was published in one of the papers.
which further melted the animosity
that had sprung up. and the tragedy
was not much of a surprise to some.

was held stiffly at his side. did
not see what he had, and In fact did
not see the pistol until he ran out in
the hall and | took It away from
him.
L spoke to him calling Mr.. Low
ing, but he paid no attention to me
and opening the door started into
the room where Blow and Rose were
talking. i saw him raise his right
arm, but his body being between me
and whatever he held in the hand,
could not see the object. AS he en-
tered the room both Mr.. Blow and
Rose started up. Rose started easttoa
corner of the room and Loving turn
ed east. Blow jumped out and struck
at whatever Loving had in his hand
but missed, and ducking under his
arm ran out of the office.
81 heard a shot and by that time
had started around my desk. / was
badly frightened and excited and
ran out into the hall about the same
time Blow gained the passageway.
Loving ran out after us. after firing
the other shot, hearing only one
shot after the first. saw the pistol
in his hand and took 1t away"
