Bessemer, July 20.-(Speeial. .)-Work wiI be resumed on the government building tomorrow, after a suspension of over two weeks, awaiting advices from Washington with reference to some important recer'- mendations made by Superintendent of Construction G. R. Berryman.
 When making the excavations, quant1- ties of rock were struck, running in very uneven layers and as the original draw ings called for a concrete footing of only r. inches in depth, MT Berryman did not thing it of sufficient strength to withstand the settling of the building, and recom- mended that it be reinforced with s4-ncb steel ro6s, and instead of the brick walls setting directly on the footing, that three feet of reinforced concrete oe used in lieu of brick. This will make a four-foot lir- tel all the way around for the foundations.
 There recommendations have been ap- proved and will add much strength to the building Work of exeavating has been completed, except the digging of the trenches for the foundations, and the ma terial is being closely inspected us it ar rlves on the ground, some of the brick having already been rejected, it being in- ferior to specifications
 There will be no further delay in the construction, and the work will be pushed as rapidly as possible.

RECOVER WAGON LOAD.
Detectives Believe They Have Cap
 tured Lot of Stolen Goods.

City Detectives Baker and Perkerson recovered a wagon load of supposed stolen property last night. The goods recovered consist almost entirely of garments of various kinds.
 The goods were found in the house of Frances Murphy on the Southside. When the officers entered the house they found Frances there and placed her under arrest on a charge of grand larceny.
 In order to get the recovered prop erty to police headquarters it was nee- essary to send for the patrol and the Black Maria was entirely filled with clothes. While the greater part of the clothes are secondhand, there are sew eral suits of new clothes and several ladies' suits of fine silk.
 The negro woman who was placed under arrest states that rummaee sale was conducted near her house and that the ladies gave her all of the goods they could not sell.

GULF COMPRESS
 CONTAIN MUST GO
Mississippi Attorney General
 Will Take Action
DAYS OF GRACE ARE PAST
Company as Been Declared Trust and Has Been Given a Year To Leave the State-Fight on
 Compress Is Renewed.

Jackson, Miss, July 20.-(Special. At torney General Fletcher has returned from vicksburg, where he went yesterday to consult with Gen. T. c. Catchings and other attorneys for and against the Gulf Compress company over the suggestion of the receiver of the company that tt be given more time in which to close up its affairs and get out of the state of Mississippi as per the order of the courts enc year ago
 The Gulf Compress company was de- clared a trust and combine and given un- til the 2st of September next to get out of business in Mississippi, but in the meantime the corporation passed into the hands of a receiver by order of the fed eral court of Tennessee. This receiver is the old president of the company, and he Lew explains that he has not been able to settle up the affairs of the company and retire as per the order of the courts.
 Attorney General Fletcher is decidedly opposed to granting any further time. The company was given all the time nec- essary last summer-an entire year-but it is no nearer getting out of business than then It does not appear to the at  torney general that the company mas made any effort to get out and it is probable he will appeal to the federal court to have the business closed by public sale at the earliest date possible. The only trouble is that another busy cotton season is close at hand, and what is done must be done soon. The company was given d year of grace last year on this identical account, but that excuse is not going to work this time if the states chief legal adviser can prevent it.
 The attorney general declines to make any positive statement as to what he and General Catehings determined to do, bet he is decidedly opposed to any extension of time under the receiver, and will no doubt insist that the order of the court, based on an agreed statement of facts year ago, shall be carried out to tine letter.
 This Gulf Compress company controls 15 congresses in Mississippi-some under lease-and it was discovered a year agJ that it had bought up and leased com presses, notably at Vicksburg, for the simple purpose of strangling and stop ping all competition; wherefore it is d trust and combine.

STRUGGLE OVER SHOTGUN

Meridian. Miss, July 20.-(Speeial)-- Early Sunday morning Sim Watson, q young farmer about thirty years of age, shot and killed his brother-in-law, Thad McGowan, in the public road in front of the latter's home, nine miles east of Lau- derdale station. Immediately after the shooting Watson went to Livingston and surrendered to the sheriff of Sumter coun- ty, where the tragedy was enacted. Wat eon and McGowan were double brothers in-la1, they having marned each others sisters. Both have several small children
 From the information obtainable, it ap- pears that trouble has been brewing be- tween the two men for the past year Last Saturday their differences eliminated in a quarrel that resulted in the exchange ci several blows. It is alleged that the result of that encounter was not satisfac- tory to McGowan, and that he renewed the difficulty Sunday morning with the result previously stated.
 It seems that Sim Watson and hls brother, Eph Watson, were on their way 10 Enondale Sunday morning and while rassing McGoWan's house were command ed to halt McGowan running out into the road and defyng them to pass his house. A second quarrel ensued, and in the heat Of passion McGowan called to some one to bring his double -barreled shotgun from inc house. His order was promptly cbeyed but the weapon had no more than been delivered than 1t was wrenched from his hands by one of the Watsons and thrown to one side of the road At this iuneture, 1t is alleged that McGowan drew his knife and with open blade pursued Sim
 Watson, who retreated until he reached the spot where the shotgun had been thrown. stoeping, he picked the weapon Up and fired point blank at his adversary, killing him almost instantly.
 Eph Watson returned to Lauderdale after the shooting and told his father of the tragedy, and together they went to Livingston to be of such assistance as they might be able to Sim All of the par ties connected or associated with the trag- edy are well known throughout Lauder dale and adjoining counties and are pros porous farmers.

Young Girl Suicides.

New Orleans, July 20.-The death to- night of Anne Lavin, "A years of age, who was found with her throat cut in a room above a Japanese restaurant here. is being investigated by the police. A scream was heard in the room and those who rushed in found the young woman dying. In the room with her was George Castanova, an acquaintance of hers for several years. He claimed that Miss La- win killed herself and note was found, apparently in her handwriting, saying that she thought it best to take her life and end her shame. The police held Castanova for further investigation.
