MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE
Antoine (Tine) Murphy (Colored)
Held in County Jail Without Bail
Shot TO Death Elijah Cayce
(Colored) Early Monday
Morning

The career of "Tine" Murphy may
i'm some measure be broken in upon
with a trip over to Jefferson City, or
he may be even called upon to pay
with his life the penalty of his rash
act when he drew revolver and fired
three shots into the body of Elijah
Cayce (colored) early Monday morn
ing in front of the Home Saloon at
the southwest corner of the public
square. Cayce died instantly, while
Murphy was arrested and placed in
Jail to await the action Of the grand
Jury that has been in session all the
week.
At the coroner's investigation and
also through witnesses consulted the
Times has been able to come at the
facts in the case somewhat as here
in given. Monday morning Cayce
and Eritch Mathews (also colored)
were cleaning up the Home Saloon
in the capacity of porters.. While
they were SO engaged, Murphy came
into the saloon TO buy drink and at
the time Cayce and Murphy had some
words, quarreling with one another.
Murpho went away and is reported
to have gone to his home and secur-
ed revolver. On his return Cavce
was out in front of the saloon whittl-
ing on telephone pole with his knife.
It is said that when Murphy came up
that he renewed the quarrel and at
the same time made some threats.
Presently Murphy stepped back
slightly and drew the revolver that
he had armed himself with and began
firing. Cayce apparently surprised
did not attempt to use the knife that
he had in his hand, but rather turned
to flee with the idea of getting in the
saloon for protection. One shot
struck him in front taking effect just
a little above the navel, while the 9th
err two shots took effect, one in the
back of the neck and the other in
the hip. Every shot was effective
and either one it is said, would have
likely produced death. The victim
died almost instantly. falling on the
steps of the saloon.
Both men have wives and Cavcc
has a number of children. 1t is un-
derstood that sort Of bad blood eX-
isted between the men on account of
some. family troubles. Cayce's rec
ord though not so very good is closed
up, as he was buried on Tuesday
Murphy is in the county Jail and is
held without bail, as the grand jury
returned an indictment against him
for murder in the first degree. The
outcome of his trial will be watched
with much interest.

Pennington Streets Being Treated
To Oil

Mayor Boyer has been busy at such
times as he could get out of Court
this week applying coat Of oil to
the Pennington streets. The dust
has been simply furious of late on ac-
count of the continued dry weather,
and the application of the oil will
come somewhat as a relief from the
excessive amount OF dust stirred up
by passing vehicles.
The Times is unable to speak of the
success in the use of oil as compared
with other means Of allaying the
dust; but ii does seem that the oiling
process is surely efficacious. 1t may
be that the odor of the oil and the
uncleanly appearance of the street
as well as the tendency of the oiled
dirt to cling to the shoes are about
the only Objectionable features that
may be urged, but these are vastly
overshadowcd in the good results that
are had How much better it would
be to have nice clean asphalt paving
Let us all hope that at some not far
distant day the paving may be real
ized.

THE WAR NEWS.

1t seems to be an established fact that the
Germans we're repulsed at Liege with heavy
loss, estimated at $4,000, and chat later the
Germans occupied the city of Liege while the
Belgian troops hold the forts. The English
and French troops on their way to Liege may
soon dispose of the ten thousand Germans
reported to be in the city. Meanwhile this
unexpected check of the German movement
against France has been of material advan-
tage to her opponents, giving the French a
week in which to concentrate their forces all
along the frontier and to make counter at
tack upon Alsace-L Lorraine. This delay is also
helpful to Russia, which is more slowly mobi-
lizing her army along the eastern frontier of
Germany. England also has had time to get
into the fight with her land forces to support
Bslgiaus and French. The German plan to rap
idly invade and crush France before Russia
could muster her mighty armies, was vital to
German success, and has been impaired, if not
ruined, by the defence of Liege.
The war news is mainly devoted to the
movement of troops and preparations for hos
tilities Reports of great naval battle in
the NOrLl Sea III WHICH b uuulDeI VI 1cEIIidu
ships we're sunk and others ran for shelter,
have been discre 7ited, but such an encounter
may be expected any day. The British have
captured many German merchant ships. seiz-
ing some in English ports and taking others
on the high seas, and there have been some
minor engagements. The North German Lloyd
vessel Kronprinz Wilhelm, which took 5000
tons of coal out of New York under cover OF
darkness last week before the battleship Flor
ida began its enforcement of the neutrality
laws, is said to have been captured by the
British cruiser Essex and taken into Bermuda.
The coal is supposed to have been for German
cruisers who have been eff this coast.
As these lines are written it is with a realiz-
ing sense that any day, any hour, may bring
news of great battle or naval engagement
and that it may be decisive and thus avert
further bloodshed all will hope.

MRS. WOODROW WILSON DEAD.
Unusual Expressions of Regret and Sympa

Unusual Expressions OF Regret and Sympa-
thy for the Bereaved.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9th. Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson, wife of the President of the United
States, died at the White House at O'Clock
this afternoon. Death came after brave
struggle ofsmonths against brights disease
with complications.
The President was completely unnerved by
the shock and his grief was heart rending. He
bore up well under the strain, however. and
devoted himself to his daughters.
The END came while Mrs. Wilson was uncon-
scious. Her illness took turn for the worse
shortly before o'clock in the afternoon and
from then on she grew gradually weaker.
Kneeling at the bedside at the end we're the
president and the three daughters. DR.. Cary
r. Grayson. U. S. N, and nurse were in the
room and just outside a door were Secretary
McAdoo and Francis B. Sayre. Mr.. Wilson's
sons in laws, and Mr.. Tumulty, his secretary.
Both houses of Congress adjourned when
Mrs Wilson's death was announced and for a
brief time the wheels of the government prac-
tically stopped while everyone paid respect to
the loss Of the President.
