From Seventh District.

Judge II. C. Turley, who was POST
master of Natchez under the Mckinley
Administration and Republican candi-
date for the Fifty-seventh Congress
against Frank A. McLain, has an

DIR. MAYBIN WELL KNOWN.

Gulfport, Miss, July 31.-Attorney
w. H. Maybin admits that the finding
of the letter on the person of the
drowned man indicates that it is his
father, but he can assign no reason for
the act, as he met his father in Biloxi
within the past week, and to all appear
ances he was we'll and happy.
DR.. ]. w. Maybin was about s. years
old. Moving from Jackson, Miss, he
practiced medicine for number Of
years in Biloxi. Owing to his advanced
age, the Doctor gave up his practice
gradually, and about a year or two ago
came to Bay st. Louis, where his wife
was holding position in light work at
the home of prominent family. DR..
Maybin was frequent caller at The
Echo office. He had nothing to do, and
time seemed to hang heavy on his
hands. He would read a number OF
the newspaper exchanges that come to
this office. He was peculiar in his
manners, and generally indifferently
dressed. He has married daughter by
a second wife, Mrs. Hanson Kelley, who
resides with her mother somewhere In
the uptown part of New Orleans. Her
husband is a clerk for wall paper con-
cern. DR.. Maybin had retired from the
practice of his profession and was divid-
ing his time living with his daughter in
New Orleans and his son in Gulfport.
Another son is ]. w. Maybin, Jr.
The Doctor was born in Natchez,
Miss, and received his medical educa-
ton at the Louisiana Medical College,
afterward absorbed by Tulane Univer-
sity. He resided in Yazoo County and
Canton, Miss, for many years, then he
moved to Biloxi, where he practiced fol
twenty years. He was twice married
His widow, who survives him, is sister
of Hon. r. c. Lee, U. S. district attor-
ney for this district. The deceased was
a Confederate veteran and Mason.

DEATH OF BISHOP POTTER.
Head of Episcopal Diocese Of New York Ex
pires After Lingering Illness.

Cooperstown, N. Y, July 2t.-Henry
Goldman Potter, seventh Protestant
Episcopal bishop of the diocese of New
York, died at Cooperstown, N. Y, on
Tuesday night, at Fernleigh, his sum-
mer home near here, after an illness of
several weeks. The bishop was uncon-
scious all day, and the end, which came
at S:25 o'clock tonight, was peaceful
and quiet.
For the past week the bishop had ap-
peared to gain, but he suffered a re-
lapse yesterday, and last night hope of
ultimate recovery was abandoned.

The executive committee, which is

the date OF the reception probably Will
not be decided upon till the arrival

Some Of the athletes may not come

Although Mayor Mcclellan vii, be at
