FIGHT AT
MEADvILLE

Meadville, Miss, June 1.-Two men
are dead, two were perhaps fatally
wounded and three others slightly IN
jured i'm a bloody street battle here
this afternoon1 waged by parties to
bitter feud that had been previously
marked with tragedy. AS a result OF
the affair, feeling here runs high and
state troops were rushed to Meadyille
from Brookhacven tonight to guard
AGAINST possibilities of rioting.
Those killed In the affray were DR..
A. M. Newman,clerk of the chancery
court of Franklin county, and Silas
G. Reynolds, DR.. Lenox Newman, son
of ONE of the slain men,is believed to
have been fatally injured and Her.
bert Applewhilte, an attorney, may not
recover as the result of his wounds.
Emmett Newman, another son, was
shot in the leg. The three were taken
to Natchez tonight for medical at
terItion after having been formally
placed under arrest. Two men named
Boyd ard Parr, alleged to have been
involved in the affray. were slightly
wounded but escaped and have not
BEEN captured.
L. p. Prichard, a brother of Corne-
lits Prichard, whom DR.. Newman
killed several weeks ago, was arrested
and charged with completely in the
tragedy.
The killing of Prichard by Newman
was the first bloodshed to mark a
feud that has existed between the two
men relatives and friends for months
This bitter factionaIism had its incep-
tion in a political campaign in which
| Newman and Prichard were opposing
candidates.
Newman was tried a few weeks ago
| for Prichard's murder and was acquit-

bitter feeling among the relatives and

SNUFF TAKERS OF THE SENATE.
Two Senators Still Taking 1t Are Pro.
yided With official Snuff Boxes.

Washington Letter to the Boston
Transcript.
There are two snuff takers in the
United States Senate, Mr.. Overman.
OF North Carolina, and Mr.. Carter,
of Montana. For the benefit of these
two men the senate still maintains
the official snuff boxes, which are
kept carefully with fresh material for
producing sneezes. These boxes are
little lacquered affairs, about four
inches long, two and half inches
Wide and an inch deep, and are
fastened by screws to the top of the
projecting ledge, one of each side OF
the vice presidents dais.
The snuff is purchased by the SER
geant-at arms in four eight-pound jars
at a cost of rs cents a pound, and 1t
takes an average of about five pounds
a. year to- replenish the boxes twice
"a week during the sessions. The
work OF refiiling the boxes was for
years one of the duties tremendously
performed by the late Captain BassetL
the, venerable assistant doorheeper OF
the Senate and inveterat'e user OF
the powdered weed; but since his
death, five years ago, the task has
faHenl to the lot Of one of the pages,
who, naturally, does not bestow up
on it the loving care of his aged pre-
GecesSor.
Captain Bassett when he died had
nearly sixty years OF con
.tinuous service in the Senate ard was
almost the sole relic OF the days
when the use of snuff was general
in that body For many years before
his death his dignified, almost cere-
monicus, manner of indulging in the
habit excited the wonder and awe
of the modern page.
He was very proud Of a good snuff
box presented to him by the Senate
upon the 10th anniversary of his en-
try into their service, and he kept It
filled with a choice brand of the pow
der. He carried it in a tail pocket
of the frock coat in which he always
appeared, and the force of his habit
of reaching for it caused a laugh at
his expense.
1t was during the troublous times
attending the Hayes Tilden contest
and it was thought best that Captain
Eassett, as custodian of one of the
boxes containing the disputed cleo
toral votes, should be armed he
was accordingly provided with a reyol
yer, which he carried in the pocket
of the empty coat tail.
AS the procession was about to
start en- the march from the Senate
to the House Captain Bassett was
asked If he had his revolver with
him
Yes he replied, here it is, ana
diving into the wrong pocket, he pro-
dalced not the revolver, but his
cherished gold sniff box
There had been threats Of attacking
the procession on the way TO the
House. and the members of the party
were in rather sober frame of mind,
but the tension was relaxed for the
moment by the laughter which was

Cold Storage to Save Fruit.

Announcement was made yester- day by J. H. Wingfeld, merchant of Camp Verde. that In few weeks he and others would begin the in- stallation of an ice and refrigerat- ing plant at that place and this ac- tion was the result of a careful con- sderation of the necessity of such an enterprise MT. Wingfeld says that the loss the Verde people an nually bear in the lack of proper facilities to care for their meats and produce in lower temperature, shows very heavy loss financially. This is especially noticeable in the long summer months. where the temperature is torrid and last sea- son during the warmer period this was forcibly brought home to many producers. Another disagreeable feature in that section is the ab- sence of an ice supply and this one commodity will in itself be an in- ducement to inaugurate and oper- ate the plant. Journal Miner.

WHY FEW LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
oliver Wendell Holmes Has Well Por-

/ understand we were speaking OF
love at first sight remarked, mildly.
Now, as all man knows about
woman whom he looks at is just what
picture as big as a copper, or
nickel" rather, at the bottom of his
eye can teach him, think am right
in saying we were talking about the
pictures OF women Well, now, the
reason why a man is not desperately
In love with 10000 women at once is
just that which prevents our portraits
being distinctly seen on that wall.
They are painted there by reflection
from our faces, but because all of
them are painted on each spot, and
each on. the same surface, and many
other objects at the same time, no
one is "seen in" the picture But
darken a chamber and let a single
pencil Of rays in through keyhole,
and you have a picture on the wall.
We never fall in love with a woman
in distinction from women until we
get an image of her through a pin
hole. And then we see nothing else,
and nobody but ourselves can see
the image in our mental camera OBJ
