load a boat when a quarrel arose.

been killed. The wounds were dress

SUES MAYOR.
Metropolis Ex-Mayor Undertakes To
Force Purchase of Bonds.

Former Mayor A, j. Gibbons, of
Metropolis, H., has filed a man
damus suit at Metropolis against
Mayor Elliott and members of the
city council to force them to take up
bonds for which $4,000 was appro-
priated. The money, it is alleged, is
being spent for street improvements
instead of taking up the bonds and
reducing the city's Indebtedness.
The bonds in question are drawing Z
per cent, and the people seem to be
divided on the question of paying
them off and having the street i'm
provements wait The case will
come up for trial August 2S, and
much interest has been aroused in It.

UNWILLING AT SHILOH.
Large Crowd Went Up on the Ken
lucky Saturday and Sunday.

A monument to Kentucky and
Tennessee soldiers at Shiloh
will be unveiled at Shiloh
National park tomorrow and there
is already a large crowd of ex-Con-
federates on hand, and a large del
egation will reach there today on
the steamer Kentucky. which left
Paducah Saturday evening. This
crowd boarded the boat at Johson-
Vile, Tenn.
The Nashville Banner says of the
unwilling:
Miss Leonora Cheney. who will
unyeil the monument at Shiloh TO
the Second Tennessee regiment next
Tuesday afternoon, will leave tomor-
row accompanied by her father, Capt.
II. j. Cheney. who was adjutant gem
eral of this regiment, which was
General Bates. The unwilling of the
monument is matter of much in
terest to all patriotic Tennesseeans,
and IL is expected that a representa-
tive party will be in attendance.
Miss Cheney's selection by Mrs.
VIM. b. Bate for the honor of un-
yelling the monument was a most
appropriate one. Accompanied by
her father and the late Senator VIM.
b. Bate. a few months before his
death, she visited the battlefield of
shiloh, on which occasion Senator
Bate selected, the site for the memo
rial shaft.

THE WILLIAMS HERE.
Preparations Being Made TO Pull Her
out ON the Ways.

The steamer Joseph b. Williams
was raised and brought down from
the Sisters Bar yesterday by the
Pacific No. 2 and the Fulton. The
Williams appears to be In bad way.
The hole in her hull was found to be
twenty feet wide and ninety feet long
The boat was brought here yesterday
morning at ii O'Clock. Little trou-
bic was experienced in bringing her
down, the trim being started at Z
O'Clock yesterday morning. The
pumps of the boats which brought
her down have ben working steadily
from the time the boat was raised
until now. The Chattanooga, which
Is being repaired has been let OFF the
ways and is tied up Just above the
marine ways. A large force of men
are working getting everything in
readiness for the attempt at putting
the boat on the ways. Barges on
either side serve to hold up the
wrecked boat The barges on the
larboard side, where the hole was
made. are showing the great weight
thrown on them by the boat The
guards OF the Williams were lifted
up and brought down over the side
Of the barges and made fast in that
position, throwing almost the entire
weight on the barges. The Will
liams has been torn up great deal
by the men in raising her.
Il is not known whether the boat
will BE- fully repaired here or only
patched up and taken somewhere
else. The damage is estimated a;
$4,000 or $4,000,

BROKE HIS NECK
BOY DROWNED AT HOME OF
RUSSELL GARDNER.
Attempted TO Make a Dive and His
Head Hit in the Mud Break
ing His Neck.

Dresden, Tenn. Aug. 21.-Van
Zandt Garesche of st. Louis, aged
16 years, was drowned in an arti-
fetal lake on Russell Gardeners sum
mer place here while in bathing. He
and three other lads, two of them
sons of Russell Gardner, we're div
ing from a springboard which stands
eight feet above the water, into wa
ter which at this point was not more
than two and a half or three feet
deep. Garesche took a flying leap,
went high into the air, and turned
for the dive. In descending he came
straight down, striking his head in
the soft mud, and breaking his neck.
The force of the blow was so pow
erful that he stuck where he hit, and
remained in that position with his
feet dangling above the water.
Death was instantaneous and with
out a struggle.
His companions were on the bank
amusing themselves in divers ways,
and when they saw the unfortunate
lad sticking i'm the mud presumed
that he was playing a prank. and
gave but little notice to him. When
he did not come to the surface, af-
ter a reasonable time, they saw that
something was wrong, and went to
his assistance, only to find their
playmate dead.
Young Garesche came here sew
eral weeks ago to spend the summer
with his schoolmate, Russell Gard
ner, Jr., His family is hardly known
to that of Russell Gardner, but the
boys were fast friends. and the
death of one has grieved the Other
deeply.
