OIL MOSELEY
LANDED In JAIL.
Arrested at His Home Near SaItiI.
10. Refuses to Talk.

Oh Moseley, a young negro
about twenty five years of age,
was arrested at his home on the
Holloway place near Saltillo
Wednesday afternoon by j. C.
Barnes, a special deputy, who
has been at work on the case for
some time, and brought to Tupe-
10 and lodged in Jail, being charg-
ed with the killing of Sam john
son, another negro, some time
last winter. It will be recalled
that Johnson was assassinated
while on the way home with
some chickens about 7 or 8 o.
clock at night and his body was
not found until the next morn
ing. Johnson's wife and her
mother stated that while John
son was gone for the chickens
someone rode up and asked
where he was. They informed
the party where Sam had gone
and the party rode away in the
same direction. Sam did not re-
turn that night and next morn
ing his dead tody was found
with a bullet hole through it.
Rumors connecting Moseley with
the killing have been circulated
for some time but no arrest was
made until Mr.. Barnes went up
and brought him to Jail Wednes-
day. There will hardly be a
preliminary hearing of the case
as the grand jury will convene
within a week and can then in
vestigate it.

Base Ball.

The series Of games between
Nashville and Tupelo the past
week have been very interesting
to those who are fond of the dia-
mond. While Tupelo has not
won the games, her team has
done some very fine playing and
has made a fine showing. In
Tuesdays game the score stood
four to two in favor of Nashville,
while en- Wednesday the game
was two to one in favor of Nash
vile. The game of yesterday
was not reported before going to

Chdpelle Dies a Victim Of
The Plague.
Famous Archbishop, Apostolic
Delegate 10 Porto Rico and Cuba,
Succumbs to Yellow Fever in
New Orleans.

New Orleans, Aug. 9. Arch
bishop Chapelle died at 1880
O'Clock this afternoon of yellow
fever.
Physicians attending the fa-
nous churchman were hopeful of
his recovery until this morning,
when there was a sudden turn
for the worse.
| Bulletins every hour from the
bedside of the archbishop during
the forenoon caused grave fore
bodings. Shortly before noon the
announcement was made that
there was slight hope, if any, for
recovery. Half an hour after
ward the word spread that the
beloved archbishop was dead and
a gloom was cast over the entire
city. Mgr. Chapelle was taken
i'll on Friday. He had returned
to the city three days before, hav-
inc just completed a tour of Lou
isiana, and announced, on his
arrival, his intention of co-operat-
ing in the efforts then in full
swing to stamp out the fever.
The archbishop, however, left his
house only on one occasion before
he was taken sick. That was to
take a drive with his niece. On
Friday he complained of the
symptoms which are the forerun-
ners of yellow fever. DR.. Larue,
the archbishop's physician, was
Immediately called. On Friday
he diagnosed the case as yellow
fever. From the first DR.. Larue
was apprehensive as to the re-
suits of the attack, owing to the
physique of the patient. Arch
bishop Chapelle was very stout
of build, full blooded and past
sixty years of age, and the fever
is always alarming in patient
under those conditions. The best
available medical and nursing
talent was pressed into service,
the apartments were screened
and every effort made to conduct
a successful scientific fight. The
disease. however, made steady
inroads upon the venerable pa
tient, and yesterday he was
found to be in a serious condi-
ton. When DR.. Larue saw him
early today there was no i'm
provement, but on the contrary
the patient showed signs Of in,
creasing weakness. Before noon
there was an alarming change
for the worse in his condition.
Eminent physicians were imme-
diately summoned for consulta-
tion, but the archbishop was be-
yond succoo. The end came with
great rapidity. No arrangements
have yet been made for the
funeral.

CORN CROP LARGE,
WHEAT UNCERTAIN

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-While
reports regarding the outlook for the
wheat crop are considerably at vari-
ance the reports concerning the corn
crop for 1905 are nearly all to the
effect that the outlook is favorable
for a large crop. The total estimat-
ed acreage of corn this year is o.
236, 600 acres, an increase Of 100000
acres over last year. The condition
of the crop the opening of the month
was SS.4. The harvest will, of
course, depend upon growing condi-
lions the remainder of the season.
Throughout the corn belt the crop
has so far progressed nicely.
The oats crop gives every indica-
ton of being up to normal, under the
slightly increased acreage. 1t seems
safe to anticipate a yield aggregating
in the neighborhood of 900,000,000
bushels, but this, of course, may have
to be modified later. The rye and
barley outlook is good.

FINCH AND HOGAN
ARE REASONABLE

The city park commissioners this
morning held a meeting for the pur-
pose of discussing the improvements
incident to taking over Audubon park,
offered by Hogan & Finch. 1t de-
Veloped that the donors are inclined
to be more lenient. 1t was at first
given out that Hogan & Finch, who
own the park, wanted the city to ex-
pend something like $4,000 for the ex-
tension of a water main before they
would agree to make over the deed to
the city.
Mayor Daggett, City Engineer Nc
Intyre and Councilman Koontz today
took a trip out to the section in
question for the purpose of looking
over the ground. The commissioners
were accompanied by Messrs. Hogan
and Finch. The latter agreed to the
city paying but $500 toward improve
ments.
This matter was brought up at the
last meeting of the council, at which
commissioners. The commissioners
objected to expanding such a large
amount of money at this time. though
it admitted that now is the best OPP
portunity for the city to acquire its
park grounds.
The park commissioners stated to-
day that some plan satisfactory both
to the city and the donors of the
property would likely be reached.

MUST MUFFLE
SEATTLE AUTOS

SEATTLE, July 2s.-Automobiles
that chug-chug down the city's
streets and boulevards must stop the
disagreeable noises they make dur
ing their rapid progress. Such un-
pleasant disturbances of the peace
must be discontinued, is the fat of
Chief of Police Delaney, who says all
autos. chiefly gasoline ones, must be
equipped with muffiers, to reduce the
noise
Hereafter when they traverse the
streets, so orders the chief, they
must do so noiselessly. Many people
think the order should also go as far
as to say odorlessly, for of all dis
agreeable smells. that which trails
behind a gasoline automobile is the
limit. However, everything may come
in time. Those with representative
ears will be satisfied first. The pos
SCISSORS of representative noses must
wait.
The chief also has told all police
men that hey must see that automo-
bile drivers obey the driving ordl-
nances, and always turn to the right
when passing vehicles or passengers.
The special privilege autoists nave
assumed in this city of turning any
way in their hurry must be discon-
| tinued.
When asked this morning whether
or not they approved of Chle1 De-
laney's orders, several prominent au-
tomobiIe enthusiasts said they

HORSES Die
BY LOCLJAW

SEATTLE, July 2S.-Careless con-
tractors have caused the death Of
over $4,000 worth of horses in this
city in the last few months since the
building season opened. Lockjaw has
been the dread cause of death, and
truck horses are the usual victims.
The recklessness Of building con-
tractors, who burn the waste ma
terial from structures they tear down
10 make room for new ones. is set
down by the officers of the humane
society as the cause The old lathes,
shingles and joists of the torn down
houses are burnt in street bonfires.
Of course the old nails are not con-
sumed by the flames. These become
scattered about on the streets, to
catch in horses hoofs, bringing on
blood poisoning and later the deadly
lockjaw.
'tne Seattle Transfer company, the
largest teaming concern in the city,
loses horses almost daily. On an av-
erage three of their animals are
brought in every day, suffering from
blood poisoning caused by nails pick
ed up in the street. Some of the
horses recover under treatment, but a
considerable portion succumb.
Yesterday the humane officers of
the city secured blank warrants from
City Attorney de Bruler against con-
tractors who are in the habit of burn
ing old rubbish in the street. Every
contractor lighting fires in streets
and alleys will be arrested and prose-
cuted under a Gig ordinance, which
makes the lighting of bonfires on
public thoroughfares a misdemeanor.
