that Louisiana ought not to surren-

bility to handle the situation.
The opinion generally is, however

Activity at Oyster Bay.

Oyster Bay, Aug. Sin anticipation
of the arrival of the peace ENJOYS.
Oyster Bay assumed early this morn
ing an activity that has not been ap
parent since the naval review off this
harbor two years ago. Hardly had
daylight appeared when teams with
parties were observed coming in
from the surrounding towns, and the
yachtsmen along the shores boarded
their boats early and began prepara-
tions for taking out friends or par
ties. A heavy mist hung over the Bay,
but this disappeared under the bright
sun and the harbor was soon filed
with yachts and pleasure craft of all
descriptions. On shore every available
point of vantage was occupied and
as noon approached hundreds of per-
sons were ON the watch for the YES
sells bearing the peace ENJOYS.

form that nearly a hundred years
ago there was a day of remark
able gloom and darkness-still
known as the dark day-a day
when the light of the sun was
slowly extinguished as if by an
eclipse. The legislature of Con
neticut was in session, and as it's
members saw the unexpected and
unaccountable darkness coming
on they shared in the general awe
and terror. 1t was supposed by
many that the last day, the day of
Judgment, had come. Someone,
in the CONSERVATION of the hour,
moved an adjournment. Then
there arose an old Puritan legis.
lator, Davenport of Stamford,
and said if the last day had come,
he desired to be found at his place
doing his duty, and therefore
moved, that candles be brought

doubtless decided that walking
fifty miles in fourteen hours would

he failed to step off this distance
in the time mentioned with 800

GOT JUDGMENT, LOST COW
Banks & Co. Institute Legal Proceedings
Against N. A. Stuart.

A rather complicated but inter
esting attachment suit was tried
before Esq. Lauderdale here last
Monday. Banks & Co. were
plaintiffs in the suit and N. A.
Stuart the defendant, The prop
erty in litigation was COW and
calf supposed to have belonged to
the defendant.
Mr.. Stuart, who was formerly
employed by Banks & Co. as
bookkeeper, moved to Memphis
last year, and, according to the
books of Banks & Co., owed that
firm $40.1O. When Stuart moved
he left COW, which Banks & Go.
attached. The animal was taken
in charge by Constable Gore, and
while in his possession was killed
by train. A claim for $40 was
filed with the railroad company
and allowed in payment for the
COW.
When the trial came up Mon
day N. A. Stuart proved to the
satisfaction of the court that the
COW was the property of his son,
L. D. Stuart. The court, how
ever, gave Banks & Co. judgment
in the sum sued for, but as the
elder Stuart had no property here,
nothing could be collected.
