port. thus far. has been received by the War Department of the shooting by Peter C. Hains, Jr.. U. S. A. of VII liam B. .Annis. at the Bay Side Yacht Club on Long Island last Saturday afternoon. So far as Is known at the department. he was not on leave at the time of the shooting, although he may have been on temporary leave given him by the post commander at Fort Hancock.
 In the view of the law offices of the department. nothing can now be done respecting Captain Hains by the mill tary authorities, as he Is under duress by the civil authorities of the State Of New York. It Is said at the War De- partnent, that. in the event of the dis charge of Captain Hains from the GUS
 tody of the courts of Ne wYork, he might be arraigned before a court mar tial on charge of violating army regu- lations In time of-peace he could not be tried for a capital offense by the military authorities, although he might be court-martialed for manslaughter. If. in any circumstances. Captain Hains should be admitted to bail by the civil authorities. he would become subject to the military authority and might be arrested and tried by court martial for conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman. or for conduct prejudicial to military discipline, under the 62nd article of war. His status in the army will not be affected by his incarcera- tion,

A MOB WAS READY
MRS. A1ocLAIR SAID OSCAR MURPHY
 WAS WRONG MAN.
Fifty Determined Men Had a Bonfire Prepared to Roast Negro Alive
 if The Woman Identified


 Pensacola, Fla, Aug 17--lSpectal)-- Brought from Milton, where he had been arrested, in a fast motor boat, Oscar Murphy, a negro today faced Mrs. Edward Moclair, who he was accused of ravishing. but was declared by her to be the wrong man.
 Fearing A lynching, the Sheriff laid his plans well to prevent 1t. but had the negro been the right man nothing could have prevented the mob from taking him.
 To outwit the crowd the sheriff had the report circulated that Monday night the negro would be brought here, but about midnight Sunday boat with two deputies left the city. and after getting the negro started back, going to Bo- hemia, six miles east of the city. where landing was made. The negro was then taken through the country to the home of Mrs Moclair where the of- rlcers met with a surprise. for there they found about fifty determined men awaiting their arrival. with big fire burning on which they proposed roast ing the negro if he was the right man.
 A committee from the mob accom- panied the officers into the house. and when they learned that Mrs Moclair had said that the wrong man had been captured the mob quietly dispersed, extinguishing the fire and returning to their homes.
 The negro, who was then brought to the city was placed aboard a steamer this afternoon and sent back to Mil- ton. a free man.
 Sheriff Van Pe1t announced this afternoon just before starting on a fish ing trip. that he had done all in his power to capture the man, but had failed. Beyond offering a reward of $10o he said he could do nothing else.

Steamer Makes Special Trip To Take Popular Man to the City From
 the Eastern shore of Mobile

Mobile. Aug. 17--(Special )-The steamer James A. Carney was hastily pressed into service this afternoon to bring Judge Price Williams. Jr., of the Probate Court from the Eastern Shore.
 The judge had been taken suddenly i'll and 1t was thought advisable to re- move him at once to his home. 207 St. Anthony Street. The illness seized the judge in the night and the Carney at that time had to make a special trip to this city to secure needed medicines.
 At a late hour tonight 1t was said that Judge Williams was much improv- ed. and that there was no immediate danger. Judge Williams is one of the best known men in the State. He Is 6S years old and has been Probate Judge of Mobile County over thirty years.
 The Steamship Goldsboro.
 The history of the steamship Colds noro. better known as the pirate ship of the Bailey Brothers enterprise. Is fast coming to a close.
 Today the ships crew was paid off and most of them have left for Norfolk. have not been cAshed, but the men were satisfied that these were good when ever presentd.
 A further addition was made to the salvage when the custom house officials went through the baggage of the land ing seamen this morning and turned back to the carge a considerable amount of property. The cargo has all been landed. There has been no at- tempt here to get at its exact nature, but there is evidence that 1t Is of a general nature and for a high class trade. This cargo will go forward to New York next week.
 The vessel was hauled over to the flats this afternoon and will remain there until she has been appraised and sold There is some talk that she will be bought by a syndicate for ceastwiss gulf trade

Instead of defend ing what he said before he now at tempts to shift the discussion to other questions. It will not be necessary to now answer what he says. I shall du- questions which he lays special em- phasis upon--the tariff question, at Des Moines and the guaranty of bank deposits at Topeka"

Kodol will do all the stomach's work for 1t, when necessary-giving it a period of complete rest. The rest that restores health That's how Kodol cures ndigestion-which is merely good digestion 'gone wrong"
 People used to think that when they had indi- gestion they should stop eating or limit them- selves to prescribed diet Others commenced purging with cathartics. All that Is very dis agreeable and unpleasant. Also it ism necessary. Starvation or purging doesn't cure anything Kodol doesn't cure anything either-but shows nature the right road, in short order Kodol merely establishes complete and perfect digestion. It does this by digesting every particle of the food, The stomach then rests and cures itself. That is what was intended when Kodol was made. It couldn't be any other way.
 Kodol is quite indispensable to a good many persons To all, in fact, who haven't time in their daily lives for careful selection of foods and diet. 1t very quickly enables nature to rec tify any disagreeabe effects of wrong eating.
