The usual Saturday night killing was renorted on the streets this morning at an early hour. Saturday night week ago the shooting scrapes were on the eastern outskirts of the city. Last night the one pulled off was on the western outskirts. As in the previous shootings, negroes alone were engaged, and. as Is usually the case, the event happened at a church supper.
 No one seems to know what brought on the shooting scrape and no details could be learned today. but it seems that there was a church supper given last night on the Jones place near Jones Creek, two miles west of the city A negro string band was engaged Tor the occasion and the negroes from the sur rounding country and number from here focked to the supper. Many or the negroes from here carried wnlskey with them which they freely imbibed and late last night when the shooting ocurred they were drunk.
 About 12 o'clock negro by the name of Henry Howser and another negro by the name of Frank Weaver became engaged in a dispute about something It is stated that both of the negroes had been drinking and that .Howser, who lives in the eastern portion Of the city, pulled his pistol and began shooting. Six shots were fired, which caused a stampede among the negroes assembled. When the smoke cleared away the negro Frank Weaver lay on

March 5. 1909, and should die the day following, no item of his funeral expenses could be paid by the government under existing law.

 New York Special.
 New York and Philadelphia capital ists are reported to be the main back CTS in the $40 1000, ,000 pottery trust just formed and controlling practically the entire tableware and china output of the country. Newton Jackson of Phil adelphia is said to be the organizer of the combination. and is reported to have the backing of three of the lead ing banks of that city. MT. Jackson was in New York today to secure the cooperation of some of the interests in Wall Street in the pottery combination.
 The principal manufactories of which the new trust has secured control are those at East Liverpool. O (which Is the center of the crockery manufactur- ing of the country. There are thirty two potteries in that place.
 Of the $4o,000,000 capital. the greater preferred stock and the remainder in common. The stocks will be listed on New York and Chicago exchanges. The Homer -Laughlin China Company of East Liverpool. O., however, the larg- est concern in that city with one ex- ception. still holds aloof. as also do the Sebrings, who operate plants at Se- bring, O.
 It is proposed after the combination is in working order to absorb artware potteries and sanitary ware plants, the latter chiefly located at Trenton, N. J.. and thus virtually control the industry in this country.

Polling the Mosquito.

Baltimore sun.
 The mosquito has made itself a very Important, but not welcome. factor in social life since the rains, but Levin T. Jones gives what he says Is an excel lent cure for the evil. He says:
 Tt Is well known that cup of kero- sene held under a mosquito resting upon a ceiling will kill 1t and 1t will drop into the cup. This has suggested to me a pan by the use of which I have reduced the mosquito nuisance to a minimum. I constructed hoop about eighteen inches in diameter, covering 1t with any material that will absorb kerosene. I saturate 1t and suspend the hoop from the ceiling dt can be arranged so that 1t can be raised or lowered) over my head. The idea Is that the insect must pass under the kerosene surface to get at the head of the sleeper-something 1t does not care to do. Any one can construct such an arrangement; 1t Is inexpensive and all right. No patent applied for. Out of town papers please copy, espe- cially those of New Jersey

He had received one in the back and another in the neck, neither of which will prove dangerous. The negro walked all of the way from where the shooting occurred. He told the police that he did not know what the shooting was about, but he thought that Howser pulled out his pistol and began to shoot to scare the other me- groes. After doing the shooting How ser made his escape.

Fifty years ago yesterday in this city MT. and Mrs. Abraham Kosminsky were joined in marriage The nuptials were celebrated by Rabbi Epstein. long ago deceased. The wedding took place in room over one of the volunteer fire en- zine company's houses on Claiborne Street. MT. and Mrs. Kosminsky had been in Mobile for some time prior to their marriage and each enjoyed large friendship. The ceremony was cele- brated both by Jews and Gentiles in this city. When the war between the States broke out, MT. Kosminsky showed his patriotism, though born in for eign land. He served his country faithfully, returned here and then re- moved with his wife and family to Chi cago. When the great fire took place there the family returned to Mobile. For more than thirty years MT and Mrs. Kosminsky, with their offspring, have resided in their present abode.
 It had been intended by the children of the aged couple, both of whom are far beyond the roth milestone in life, two of whom are residents of New Or leans, Mrs. Finklestein and Mrs. Pinski. to celebrate the event of the golden anniversary of their parents wedding. On Wednesday last. however. Harry Finklestein. a son. in Jaw, died in New Orleans of yellow fever, after being III only five days. This, naturally, pre- vented the usual festivities. Relatives in the North and West. however, know ing of the anniversary. had sent many handsome and appropriate presents to their aged relatives. A number or presents were received from friends here and a large number of telegrams were sent them. The telegrams brought tidings of joy. the senders not being acquainted with the grief which per vaded the household. Yesterday ana . today hundreds of friends called at the home and congratulated the couple.
