Yesterday afternoon at 8
o'clock the funeral of Mrs. Mary
Allan Mooney took place from
the family residence, 419 South
Sixth street, Rev. w. A. Hewitt
of the First Baptist church Off
ciating. A large number of
friends of the family attended.
The interment was had at

Mrs. Mooney was we'll known
III this city and numbered her
friends by the hundreds. She
was the daughter of Mrs. Annie
Fitzpatrick. Her death came
suddenly in Nashville, Tenn. ;,
last Thursday afternoon at 3
o'clock and her remains We're
brought home for burial. She
was only twenty years old when
she met her death and had been
married about two years. She
leaves surviving her, her hus-
band and one child.
Mrs. Mooney was a student of
the Industrial Institute and Col
lege in this city for several
years and left that institution
only a short time before her mar
riage, to Mr.. T. j. Mooney Jr.,
of Nashville. Death came as
shock to her friends, she having
been taken in the bloom of her
youth with the full promise of
womanhood opening before her.
The following acted as pail
bearers: Messrs. L. E. Lide,
Franklin Brown, John Richards,
Robert Cheatam, Jim Stone and

WEAVER APPOINTED TRUSTEE.

Governor L. F. Noel appoint
ed Mr.. Blanch Weaver. the past
week, as one of the trustees of
the Industrial Institute and Col
lege. The governor could not
have made a wiser selection and
we feel sure that the people
throughout the state will give
their hearty endorsement to Mr..
Weaver's appointment. He is
now president of the Columbus
Insurance and Banking Co.. one
of the foremost banks in the
state, and he also owns half in
terest in one of the leading drug
stores of the city. He has been
with his own business
and will no doubt handle the af-
fairs of the college as they
should be.

NATURAL GAS
AT FAYETTE,
FIVE WELLS BEING
ONE EMITS GAS TOO STRONG TO BE
C0NTROLLED-PIPE LINE TO BIRM-
INGHAM CONTEMPLATED

+ At Fayette, Ala, the air is
/ full of mystery and also of the
smell of gas. Five wells have
been bored, one of which emits
a stream of gas too strong to be
held behind the heavy caps of
the piping and a stream with
volume enough. perhaps, to sup
ply Columbus is allowed for
safety to escape into the air
with noise which can be heard
for the quarter of a mile. On
over two hundred thousand
acres the mineral rights option
is held by the company doing
the drilling, and in the gossip
which circulates thereabouts a
pipe line to Birmingham is in
contemplation. Two wells have
struck gas and another rigging
is in shape for a sixth attempt to
tap the big reservoir which is
evidently believed and practic-
ally proved to be in the vicinity.
Apart from the evidence af-
forded by the escaping gas from
the big well, the results of the
operations are not made public.
Every .precaution is taken to
keep the whole matter secret as
far as possible.
The company owning the wells
and the options is the Eureka
Gas & Oil Co., and is headed by
Birmingham capitalists, with
Pennsylvania experts in charge.
For twelve months agents of the
company have been securing op-
tions on mineral rights of lands
covering about 25 square miles.
with Fayette the center. With
the exception of several large
tracts. a few small ones which
the owners refuse to give options
on, and land with the township
itself, everything else, it is said,
has been taken by the Eureka
people.
The brother of Congressman
R. P. Hobson. a geologist, plan
ned the exploitation OF the field,
having found indications of the
existence of oil bearing sand,
and is said to be interested in the
developing company. Several
ago it was reported that |
gas had been found at Fayette, |
but salt water drowned out"
the first well and the company |
then in control sold out to the
Eureka, which from indications
has determined to develop the |
field to its fullest possibilities.

University Glee Club.

The Glee Club of the Univer-
sity of Mississippi gave two in
teresting and characteristic en-
tertainments in our city on Fri
day. In the afternoon they APP
peared in the College under the
auspices of the Aiumnae Asso-
citation, and were accorded royal
welcome, always given to the
University boys by our girls in

a concert in the opera house to a
most appreciative audience.
Among the many features of
the evening was the brass quar-
tette, composed of Messrs. Lig-
on, Caldwell, Reubel and Me-
Henry. The solos of Mr.. Will
lam Mckinney and Mr.. William
Rowland and also the character
song and reading of Mr.. Nat
Ligon were among the star hits
of the entertainment.

unfinished business in the senate
and called up and passed after
various amendments had been
voted down. This is law that
was passed by the last session
creating agricultural high schools
for white" children, and the
supreme court declared it uncon-
stitutional. Former Supreme
Court Justice Fletcher prepared
the new measure, and it was ac-
cepted with elimination of a
clause that gave the state board
of education the right to name
the superintendents of the
schools in every county. The
amount appropriated by the
state to each county was made
81, 500 instead of So, 500. as asked
in the bill.

FLOOD SITUATION
MORE DESPERATE
DESTRUCTIVE TIDE GROWING
WATERS OF THE SEINE RISING At THE
RATE OF An inch AND A QUAR-.
: TER AN HOUh

Paris, Jan. 28.-The boiling
waters of the Seine are still ris-
ling at. noon today at TIE rate of
an inch and a quarter an hour.
There was steady downpour OF
rain and the temperature was
falling. Everywhere the situa-
tion was appreciably worse than
yesterday.
The prospect was cherries. A
heavy rain and a brisk breeze out
of the north arrived to drive the
f1ooes to points which heretofore
had escaped its invasion.
During the night there was
little encouragement and with
the early hours of today came a
decided change for the worse.
Fortunately the temperature
moderated today and in so ne
measure the suffering of the
homeless ones was alleviated.
Messages of sympathy from the
outside, many of them accom-
panied with substantial financial
contributions were another fea-
ture that gave cause for thanks
giving. Telegraphic communi-
cation with the outside was ex-
tremely defective today and at
times wholly interrupted. There
is no direct communication be-
tween this city and England and
messages for central Europe gen.
orally were delivered through in
direct routes. 1t was feared this
morning that it might be impos-
sible after a little to transmit any
great amount of press matter
with which the offices and the
telegraph and cable companies
were heavily burdened.
An unfortunate shift of the
wind from the north to the
southwest. accompanying low
barometer and heavy rain, added
a new thrill of horror to the
stricken city and surrounding
conntry this.forenoon. Through
out the night the condition in
this city and environs grew more
serious.
The devastation has now pene-
trated the very heart of Paris, |
the gorging rivers and sewers
underneath literally blowing up
the streets while the area of the
surface overflowed by the wa
ters of the Seine had been
doubled today. Twelve of the |
25 bridges over the river have
been closed and the quays on
either side from one end of the
city to the other are either inun-
dated or have been roped off as
The Esplanade Des Invalides
is a sheet of water. The turbid |
food has crept back almost to
the ,Jardin Du Luxembourg on
its left bank and invaded the
Plas De La Concorde which was
closed and guarded by soldiers
and the lower Champs Elysee on
the right bank.

was the withdrawal from the
race, Friday of Judge CritZ.
Another thing the resolution to
dissolve the caucus, introduced
by Bird, of Lawrence county, on
Friday afternoon, caused a riot
in the house. the like of which

rain ceased throughout the af-

as the waters of the Seine ap-

The subsistence at noon con-

Later it was claimed that the
fall was due TO the rapid over
flow into the Bercy quarter from
points where the Seine had bro

that the river was still rising
