Jackson, Miss, Feb. 23.-It is all

states senate. He was nominated over
former Governor James K. Vardaman
by vote of 81 to 80, with one vote
cast for Alexander.
Mr.. Percy's nomination, which is
equivalent to an election, was consum-
mated after one of the hardest fought
contests in the history of Mississippi
politics. and it required fifty-eight bal.
lots to determine the result.
When the final clash came, and all
andidates except Vardaman and Percy
had withdrawn from the race, there
was no man who would wager on the
result, and no one would even venture
q guess as to the final vote Both
sides seemed confident, while the i'm

VALUED AT $4,000
PARTIALLY INSURED
Fire Had Big Headway When Discov-
cred and Building Could Not Be
Saved-Fixtures Burned-No Loss
on Dormitories.

The main building of the South
College was completely de-
stroyed by fire between twelve and one
o'clock this morning. The origin of
the fire is unknown, but it is supposed
to have been caused by a defective
fiue, and when discovered the inside
of the entire building was ablaze. The
entire fire department of the city re-
sponded to the alarm promptly, the
apparatus from Station No. 2, being
the first to arrive, but the fire had
gained such headway before being dis
covered that very little could be done
to save the main building, and the at
tention Of the firemen was directed to
saving the two dormitories on either
side. The only damage to these was
the scorching of the paint.

names of their favorites from the con-
test, and urging their supporters to
vote for the conservative" or, in 9TH
er words, against Vardaman. The bal
loting then proceeded, and the vote
was so close all the way that only
a discussion as to counting one vote
relieved the tension. This came at a
moment when everything was silent
and tense, diverting the attention for
few seconds. The count was still
close when fifty was reached, but when
the vote passed sixty for each, Percy
was gaining, being at one time twelve
votes ahead of his opponent. This
was cut down to ten, nine, eight, seven
six, then five, which was Percys final
majority. The final vote was: Percy

New York, Feb. 23.-Three ne.
groes, who boarded the smoker of
the New Jersey Central train as it
was leaving Jersey City this morning,
pulled out their revolvers shortly af.

had bullet in his abdomen and the
other was shot through the breast.
The negroes ran out of the car after
the shooting and swung from the
platform to the ground and took to
their heels. The train was quickly
stopped and the injured men hurried
to the City hospital. Policemen also

cious Event.

The meeting in this city yesterday
Of representatives of several South
Mississippi tents Of the order of
Knights of the Maccabees of the
World was an auspicious occasion,
besides being phenomenal success
and giving evidence Of being produc-
tive of much lasting benefit to that
rapidly growing and popular fra
ternity.
While the order of Maccabees of the
World Is a comparatively new thing
to this section of the country, it 10
nevertheless one of the oldest and
most substantial fraternal insurance
orders in existence in the United
States, and wherever tents are estab-
lished the membership are enthusias-
tic, active and aggressive.
While the meeting yesterday was
nothing more than a get-together af-
fair, intended primarily to bring mem
bers of the order into closer relation
ship by personal contact and acquain'
tance, nevertheless, it has served to
create a feeling of confidence in and
respect for an order of which com
paratively little had been known by
a majority Of the citizens of this sec
tion.
The street parade in the afternoon
was one of the most spectacular and
imposing events ever witnessed in
this city. The large body of mem
bers of the local tent ana visitors
from other tents, wearing the colors
of the order, headed by officers o.
the grand lodge, degree teams of the
uniform rank in full uniform, and {
band paraded over the principa
streets of the city, and immense
throngs of people congregated. alont
the route Of the parade to witness
the imposing spectacle. ...,
Last night the secret work of tn,
order was exemplified by degre'
team, composed of members of thu
uniform rank Of the Birmingham ant
Meridian tents, and its work was pu
Oh in most impressive manner, abou
one hundred and fifty members of tn,
local tent receiving their first real les
son in the secret work of the order.
The matter of a state organization
was discussed at some length, result
ing in the appointment of committee
from different tents to go further int
the proposition and formulate plan
for the perfection of such an organ
cation. If this should be done, prot
abilities are that Hattiesburg will b
made state headquarters of the organ
ization, as a concerted effort will b
made to secure its location mere.
It was decided to have a genera

time and place to be named later, an

The purpose of the letter, however,
was to verify statements alleged to
have been made by Daniel to the ef-
feet that certain stock feed had been
barred from this state under the food
inspection law.
Commissioner Blakeslee wrote the
inquirer to the effect that he did not
know w. E. Daniel. but that he did
know that he was not the chairman
of the railroad commission. He ad
