TIna Innned Circnlarn.

The Selma Council, No 2S2. United Commercial Travellers, has addressed circular letters to all keepers of livery stables and hotels in the Selma dis trict. asking them to give better at- tention to the men who travel this ter ritory. in the interest of the trade. The letter to the liverymen says that on account of unsuitable accommodations the Councils attention has been called to the order of vehicles that Is being furnished the drummers, and asks them to furnish all travellers with suitable teams and to keep the same in repair with good harness. lap-robes and cur- tains.
 The letter to the proprietors of hotels In the Selma territory says that travel ing men pay $2 per day for accommo- dation, or $50 per month and very fre- quently get the same or worse fare than monthly boarders who pay from $8 to $20 a month, while men who Tive in the country" pay $1 per day, and states that this is unjust to the travel ing men, and suggests that they pro- vide, separate tables and better fare for those who pay the rate of %2 than they could afford to give to those who board by the month. They also ask that the hotels shouad provide plenty of towels. soap, water, etc., in rooms. also good fires in winter and ice water in the summer without extra cost It also asks the hotels to provide good beds and clean linen, which many of them are not doing
 Both letters are sent out with the tenets of the order--Unity, Charity. Temperance in mind. and with a view of improving the relations between the travelling men and the keepers of hotels and stables. The letter asks for an expression and ex- plicit criticism of anything asked for in the letter which Is considered bur densome.

The News of Selma

While 1t is almost positively known the four men arrested were interested in the stealing of the above goods from cars in the Southern yards, they were arrested on warrant that charged them with taking Q quantity of shoes from & car on May 18th. When ar rested the men submitted peacefully and evinced great surprise that they had been arrested d for such an offence. After being arrested they were taken to the county jail where they will re- main until they have a preliminary hearing before Judge Gayle.
 Crawford was arrested this morning at the Union Passenger Station on Broad Street about o'clock as he was inspecting the cars that made up an early morning train. The other three men were arrested quietly at their homes during the early hours of the morning and did not resist arrest, al- though precautions were taken in ar- resting Fuller, as MT. New said that he was a very dangerous man and was known to have with him all of the time a big pistol. The officers went to Full ler's house and up to the front door quietly and one of them called him out. When he came to the door they grabbed him in his nightclothes to keep him from using his pistol if he had brought 1t to the door with him.
 All four of the men arrested as being implicated in these robberies are well known in this city and were well thought of by their acquaintances and no one had any suspicion that they were robbing the cars in the yards of the Southern Railway. Crawford was born and raised in Selma and his peo- pie are at present living here. He is a young man about 29 years old was known to be hard-working and in- dustrious and the principal. support of an aged mother The other three men are married and are about middle aged and also bore good reputations.
 Special Agent New was assisted in the making of the arrests by Deputies Williams and Moorer from the sheriff s office and his own deputy. L. O. Chill ders. It is thought that during the night or tomorrow they will be able to apprehend the man in whose home the large assortment of merchandise was found last night, but until he Is ar- rested Mir. New will not divulge the mans name. Young Clark, who was also raised here, was released during the day on bond. The preliminary will be heard before Judge B. J. Gayle on Thursday,

Advertiser Bureau.


 After forty days of hard work, spe- cial Agent A. P. New, of the Southern Railway during last night and carry this morning arrested four white men who are now in the county jail ana who are charged with robbing the Southern Railway of many dollars worth of merchandise. The robbing CT freight cars in the city and on the road out of Selma has been going on TOT some time, but 1t has always been thought to be the work of a gang or negroes, and nothing suspicious mas ever pointed to the fact that these roo berries had been comhitted by band of white men who had lived In Selma and had been employed by the South ern Railway for some time.
 Freauently during the past three or four years the robberies of freight cars on the Southern Railway has been go- ing on, One of the methods used by the robbers was for one of them to get in a car and just when the train got outside the city limits to open the door of the car and throw of quan- tity of goods and for the rest of the gang to come along with wagon and nick m the goods and cart them to some hiding place. On several occa- sions a number of negroes have been arrested for these robberies and sev- eral of them have been convicted Of the crime and were punished.
 Of late the throwing off of goods from cars as they left and arrived at this point has been stopped and the oficials of the road were of the opinion that the gang which had been commit ting these robberies had been broken m. Probably it has or maybe this gang is lust taking a rest from It's ia bors and is only waiting until the fall season when it will break out afresh. But the stealing of goods from these moving trains had just stopped when it was discovered that goods were be- ing missed regularly from the freight cars in the yards of the road.
 The missing of goods of different de- scription from the freight cars had been quite frequent of late and Special Agent New of tine road has been work ing upon these cases for the past forty days. The result of his labors termi- mated last night when he swore out be- fore Justice of the Peace B. J. Gayle warrants for four of the white 'em- ployes of the Southern Railway who for sometime past have been working in the freight yards of the road. The four men arrested were Morgan Clark and Joe Fuller, who for sometime were employed in the yards as night watch men, but who of late have not been working for the company; billiard Ma thews. who Is at present a watchman in the yards, and John Crawford. a night car inspector, were also charged with being implicated in these rob- berries and arrested.
 Last night at a house at Bakers Switch near the coal chute, Special of- f1cer New and some deputies found a quantity of goods that had been taken from cars in the yard. These goods were found in the house of another white employe of the Southern who Is implicated in the robbing of the cars, and who as yet has not been arrested. thirteen boxes of cigars. thirteen bolts of domestic and calico, one dozen quart bottles of Duffy's Malt Extract, thirty packages of coffee. overails. under clothing. collars. buttons and articles Of various description

Talk of Many Law suits.

In certain quarters during the past week there has been considerable spec uIsHion indulged in as 10 many probable lawsuits for the recovery of property which it Is said will be brought be- fore the courts in the next year or two, Already 1t is said that some suits are about to be brought before the courts by heirs for property that passed out of their parents possession years and years ago, simply because of some de- feet that has of late been found in the titles of the same.
 It is stated that these defects in the titles of various pieces of property were discovered after Colonel w. w. Qu tries had caused abstract copies of every riece of property In Dallas Couf- ty to be made. If the reported suits are brought about by the heirs for the property which their parents disposed of years ago, the outcome will be watched with interest Ly those who are not afraid of being involved in similar suits.
 business man is authority for the statement that a few weeks ago a lawyer in the city had approached an- other business man in regard to the recovery of some property for him which he had forgotten that hts par ents had ever owned. This piece of property was purchased many years ago by his parents and is now located on one of the principal business and resident streets of the city. The law yer told him that he could recover this property. If he would give him half of its value, on account of a de- feet in the title.
 Years ago when the piece of prop erty was sold by the business mans father 1t was merely large lot with probably one house upon it. Now that lot has been divided up into three or four and upon each there has been built a comfortable home. With the money which this lot was sold for, the gentleman who owned 1t bought an other home two streets west, and with the remainder helped to educate his children.
 The man mentioned is one of those children. He considered the matter for several days but finally decided that even if he could recover the property by law it would not morally be his, even though his mother had not signed the deed. His father had bought another home with the money. and the wife and mother Is even now living In that home.

The procession was led to Live Oak Cemetery by the Dallas Light Dra- goons, of which the deceased was q former active member.

Honored TheIr Comrade.

The funeral of the late Captain John F. Burns took place at his late resi- dence on Lauderdale Street this morn ing at 9:s0 o'clock. A large eoncourse of friends gathered to pay a last trib- ute to the memory of this popular citi- zen of Dallas County.

But the story goes that the gentle man has two brothers who are not so well fixed in worldly wealth as their brother Is. To these two the afore- said lawyer carried the proposition to recover this piece of land. 1t is said that they came, to terms with the man of law and that suit for the recov- cry of the property will be brought about within a short while unless something at present unforeseen pre- vents 1t.
 There is mentioned another suit which involves a plantation down the river of many acres. One brother bought plantation from another brother a great many years ago. He bought the plantation on the install ment plan as he did not have enough money to pay for 1t cash. No deeds were made out when the first payment was made and as the brother contin- ued to pay for the place year by year the deed was forgotten.
 Shortly after the last payment for the plantation had been made the brother from whom 1t had been bought died and left imperfect titles to the plantation that he had sold. He left a child. Years passed and no one knew that there was anything wrong with the title to the land. But the defect in the title was discovered by a lawyer and 1t Is understood that if some agreement is not reached a suit for the recovery of the land will be brought about. That there is truth in these stories the man who told them does not doubt and although he re- veals no names he conveyed the im- pression that he knew what he was talking about.

14,5OO Gallons Per Hour.

Considerable curiosity has been man ifested of late as to the amount of water that flowed from the big arte- sian well at Elkdale Park. During the week past l.. B Atchison. who is building the big lake flor the street car company, decided that he would measure the stream that flowed from the we'll By measuring the depth and breadth of the stream and calculating it by the velocity of the overflow he found that 14.5OO gallons of water per hour came from the well. or 348,000 gallons every twenty-four hours.
 The. water from this we'll is consid- cred as among the best of any of the water from the many artesian wells in this section and no one ever seems to get enough of it to drink. As soon as the big lake which is being built is finished the overflow from thss we'll will be used to keep the lake supplied It Is thought that 1t will take the well about three days to fill the lake.

idly, and 1t is thought that by the first of September that they will have reached the high-water mark of 130,000.' Since the first of last September the number of bales of cotton received in this city is 12t.2O0 bales. which Is more than has ever been received in this city in any previous year in it's history.
 It is thought by some of the cotton men that 5000 more bales or enough to make the receipts reach the figures of 130,000, will easily be received. but there are few who think that the figures will even go a few thousand higher. The total cotton receipts fin this city during the past year were a little over s7.000 bales. or >over 34,O00 less than has already been received here so far this year
