STRANGER BURIED
 IN POTTER'S FIELD
Man Whe Dies In EufauIa Is
 Inferred By the City
PRIZE DRILL ARRANGED
Retail Merchants Are Busy With Fall Trade and Are Using Certifi- cates-Mission Service
 Is Closed.

Eufaula, November 10.-(Special.) .)-Tele- grams were received by Undertaken Dow ling today from the lodge of Eagles al Shebyyille, Ind, stating that William R.
 Studt, the stranger who bled to death in this city yesterday, was not in good standing, and one from his mother at Richmond Ind. saying she was unable to
 bear the expense of having the body con-
 veyed home. At the instance of L. G. Lightfoot telegram was forwarded her.
 stating that if she so desired the body
 would be forwarded, charges paid, from this city, and her request was to bury it here. The interment will be made to- morrow.

 mencing tomorrow and continuing several days.
 Yesterday was regarded as one of the busiest days of the season among the re- tail merchants of the city, and business went with merry hum. The issuance of clearing house certificates by the banks caused but little dissatisfaction among the
 out-of-town people, and placards were displayed in the show windows signifying the willingness of the merchants to re- ceive them the same as greenbaeks. An interesting mission service which has been going on all the week at St. James, Episcopal churcA here was brought to a close last night. The Rev. Dr. John R. Matthews, who has been in charge, delivered able and eloquent sermons morning and evening, and has 1 brought about great good.

Battle Names For Humans.
inc Kansas City Journal.

From the Kansas City Journal.
 Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis is said to have been named in commemoration of the battle in which his father Was wounded. As that engagement occurred in 1884 and Judge Landis was born in 1SGG his peculiar name cannot have been bestowed on the spur of the moment. A similar instance of peculiar paternal choice in naming a child is exhibited in the case of Capt. Malvern Hill Barnum of the regular army. His father must have had some reason akin to that of the elder Iandis, for while the battle was fought in 1S62 Captain Barnum was not born until II months afterward. Possibly there are military associations which civilians cannot understand that make ce tain events of peculiar significance in the ives of veterans. This supposition is strength ened by the fact that few years ago there lived in Boston two negroes, brothers, sons of a veteran who bore re- spectively the given names of Army of the Potomac and Sixth Corps.

Doq Tried To Swallow Hornet.

From the New York World.
 William E. Bedell of the Hyde Park section of East Orange, N. J., has been extremely proud of his blue-blooded set ter dog Colonel
 Colonel yesterday looked as much like himself as an ancient hobo looks like a dancing master, or as mixed ale pugilist looks like an ambassador. A hornet had transformed ColoneFs ap- pearance. His muzzle was three times it's natural size, his eyes were narrow sits with red and turgid lids, his tongue was so swollen that he had to keep his mouth open. In word Colonels fine head looked much more like that of a disspated bulldog than a well-bred set ter.
 The dog has acquired the habit of catching flies, especially those that bothered it when it is eating. It has caught thousand of flies, rolled them over it's tongue and swallowed them. Colonel interrupted his noon-day meal yesterday long enough to catch several flies. By and by along came a bigger fly than all the rest-a fly whose wings buzzed with a particularly loud hum within half an inch of Colonels nose. Snap went Colonels jaws; it had caught the big fly.
 To be strictly accurate. the hornet had caught Colonel. The instant the hornet found itself in a dark, moist prison it got busy. Colonel emitted agonized yelp that brought MT. Bedell to the back porch.
 Good gracious, the dogs gone mad" Yelping with pain, Colonel squirmed, twisted, seemed to be trying to jump out of his skin. The hornet was in no hurry: when it flew from the dogs mouth it chased Colonel and stung him again and again.
 Finally Colonel sunk to his kennel, and while he lay there tenderly stroking his muzzle with his paws the flies impudent- ly sWarmed all over him,

Atlanta, November -tSpeeial)-lt IS announced that Judge George 1illyer, one
 of the newly appointed railroad commits
 sioners, named by Mr. Smith since that body was enlarged from three to five, has been named vice chairman of the com l mission.
 In as much as Judge Hillyer is the youngest member on the board, in point
 of service, this appointment comes as a surprise to many. Il was thought that with Mr. MeClenden as chairman that the vice chairmanship when given out would either be offered to MT. Hill, the former chairman of the commission, and eldest
 in point of service or to Mr. Stephens. who is second only to MT Hill in point of
 service.
 Judge Hillyer. who is one of the ablest
 of the commissioners and who has taken
 deep and profound interest in the work, gave out statement today when his vice charmanship was announced, in which he declared that the work was most pleasant and congenial, and that great
 good was sure to come of the work in- stituted by that body.
 He spoke at length on the subject Of the personal inspection of the Georgia l road recently made by MT. Hill and him. l self. and declared that other roads were
 to be looked after also.

 FOR MANS SUICIDE
President of Huntsville Bank
 Makes Statement
CHECK LIMIT WORKS WELL
Pat Phillips Is Dangerously Cut by His Son-in-law, Who Is Jailed. Synod of Presbyterian
 Church to Meet.

Huntsville, November 10.-(SpeeiaL)-S J. Mayhew, president of the Huntsville Bank and Trust company. has made pub lie a statement in which he says that the causes that led to the suicide of the cashier. James R. Boyd, are yet unae- countable. The statement of President Mayhew recites that d full examination of the cash, security and general con- diton of the affairs of the bank does not give any clue to the cause of the terrible event and it can only be sur missed that the tender solicitude that the cashier had ever felt for the stable condition of the bank made him inordi- nately sensitive to the strained condition of monetary affairs all over the coun- try.
 The limit of $25 on the daily payment of checks is working smoothly and the bank has gained a large amount of currency since the beginning of last week. The limit is not applied to de- posits made since the rule was put into effect W. l. Wellman, who was presi- dent of the Farmers and Merchants Ma tional bank, has taken the position of cashier temporarily until q suitable man can be found for the place.
 Pat Phillips was dangerously cut in the neck by Tom Woods, his son-in-law, in Dallas village last night Woods was arrested and is in jail. Phillips claimed that the young man came home drunk and provoked the trouble.

He declares that he met him three times on Friday, and that each time Sleep applied the epithet to him. That finally he told him that if he did not take it back he would shoot, and when he re- fused and cursed him again he shot and killed him.
