Inter-Collegiate FIELD DAY FOR STATE CHAMPIONSHIP loung Men Christian association. He was cleaning his ritte for inspection last night when It was discharged and the fatal wound Inflicted. The ball entered the right eye and tore the whole top of his head off, scattering small pieces of skull and brains all over the floor. John Lee, a colored porter, was the only person in the building at the time young Copes met his untimely death and he was in a different part of the building. Lee heard the shot and upon an immediate investigation he found Copes lying near the front window of the gymnasium, which is on the third floor, in a pool of blood.

Lee ran to the window and called Joe Murry, a clerk at Raatz O'Reilly's, who had heard the shot and came out in front of the store. Mr. Murry hurried over to the Young Men's Christian association and went up to the gymnasium. When he entered a ghastly sight met his eyes. He and the colored man viewed the body and then immediately notified Judge Mat Johnson and the police station.

The dead body was lying on the left side and the muzzle of the gun resting against the right cheek. Copes' head, or the portion left It, was in a pool of blood and pieces of his skull and brains were scattered around on the floor several feet distance from the body. One piece of skull about an Inch square was picked up at least twelve feet from the body and a portion of his brains were sticking on the ceiling to the punching bag stand, which is about ten feet from the floor. There were several chairs setting around and one, evidently the one he was using while cleaning the gun, was three or four feet to the right of him and near the window. of San Antonio.

Reversed and Remanded Fulton consider the claim of a member whose wife had died in possession of a certificate of the order. The payment was protested, because it was shown that the deceased had tuberculosis prior to her application for membership, and had signed an application concealing the fact. The evidence showed, however, that the woman was not aware of her condition, and that the husband alone knew the facts.

The. evidence also indicated very clearly that the direct cause of death was abcess of the liver, although she had died without the attendance of a physician. On the showing the claim was ordered paid. The discussion nearly broke up the meeting. Every time a member tried to say tuberculosis he turned red in the face and choked up.

Some of the assaults on that word were funny enough to make a brass monkey laugh. When Chief Montgomery took the stand to testify, he never batted an eye. When he came to the name of the disease he looked about him calmly and confidently, and said "consumption." F.verybody knew what that meant, and later when another witness tackled the big hard word, some one called out: "Say consumption; that's what it is." The discussion will doubtless lead to a reform in the method of passing upon the applications for membership. WEDDINGS IN AUSTIN. Will Save the Tax.

On Briefs and Oral Argument for It wps learned yesterday that the city council at Its regular meeting next Monday night would rescind Its action In awarding the storm sewer contract to John Fields of Fort Worth and would readvertise for bids on new plans and specifications. At the last meeting the mayor was ordered to withhold his signature from the contractor's bond until such time as the council had fully considered the mutter. At the same meeting the shape of the sewer was changed from circular to horseshoe. Yesterdny It was plainly Intimated that the action of the council In changing the shape not only took the contract away from Mr. Fields, but also gave power to the council to go ahead and readvertise for bids made up from the plans and specifications that would have to be drawn In order to bring the sewer to the required shape.

As Is now Intended, the sewer Is to be square at the bottom, with a circular top. The material which was first settled upon was concrete made with either gravel or crushed stone, but now It Is proposed to have the square bottom made of brick or stone and the arched top of concrete, and to readvertise for bids so as to allow all to have an equal show under the new specifications. At th coming council meeting the exact material to be used will be decided upon and bids will be asked upon that material alone and upon no other. In this way It is hoped to avoid the confusion arising from a multiplicity of materials and the different methods of figuring on them, which Is claimed to have caused trouble when the last bids were submitted. The specifications at that time called for crushed rock used with concrete, while John Fields, the man who secured the contract, made his bid on the basis of using gravel.

The others bid on rock. Both Riley Trent, from Fisher county; Sam Locklin, from Gillespie. On Motions, for Rehearing K. L. death from the effects of a gunshot wound inflicted accidentally by himself.

Mr. H. B. Copes, brother of the dead boy, was the first of his relatives notified and he advised their mother, Mrs. J.

B. Copes. Mrs. Copes was at her home at the time and her son had not been away from her more than two hours when the sad news of his death reached her. She is heart broken and her grief can not be expressed in words.

Dr. Wright an uncle of young Copes, was also informed and he immediately went to the home of Mrs. Copes, realizing what a shock It would be to her. The brother of the deceased was the only one of his Immediate relatives who viewed the remains In the undertaking establishment, which were later taken to the residence of his mother. Lee, the porter, who was the only person In the building when Copes was killed, was seen shortly after the occurrence by a reporter.

The darky said that he did not see the young man when he shot himself, but that he was on the scene a few moments later. "When I first saw Mr. Copes," said Lee, "he was standing in front of Pet-mecky's store and when I came along he asked me when I would open up the hall. I told him that I was going down there now and he came along with me. "I unlocked the door and both of us went up stairs.

He asked if the armory was open, and I told him I thought so, and he went on to the third floor. I proceeded to do my usual Work about the place and was at work when I heard the shot. "At I thought that Is was a cap, but in about two seconds I heard a fall on the floor. I ran to the gymnasium and saw Mr. Copes lying near the front window.

I called a man across the street and after he came over we notified the officers. "While we were going up stairs Mr. Copes remarked that they would have inspection tonight and he wanted to clean his gun." Professor Will Brady, quartermaster sergeant of the Austin Rifles, the company of which the deceased was a charter, member and one of the organizers, stated that Copes remarked to him Tuesday nl ht that he wanted to get down to the armory Wednesday morning in time to clean his gun before going to work. Quartermaster Brady also said that aeverul members of the company. Including the deceased, had been out at target practice recently and he supposed that the cartridge was left In the rifle by mistake.

This explanation accounts for the gun being loaded, as the rifles are not supposed to be loaded while at practice or in the armory. A mother, two sisters, Mlssea Lucy and Marie, and a brother. It. B. Copes, survive the deceased.
