COOPER CASE ARGUED. Attorney General of Tennessee Lh>s Strew* on the "Mysteries of the Caee." Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 2.?In argu? ing against the motion for a new trial for Col. D. B. and Robin Cooper, convicted of the murder of former United States Senator E. W. Car mack, Attorney General Gates today laid special stress upon what h* termed the "mysteries of the case.'* These Include the finding of a re* volver scabbard in Senator Carmack's overcoat pocket, and the bullet which worked Its way out of the wound in Robin Cooper's shoulder, cleansed it? self on the gauze dressing and w t h found In the bed. The scabbard Incident developed one of the sensations of the trial. The clothing had been searched care? fully, but the scabbard was not found. About three weeks before the tr'"!, two attorney's for the defence asked to view the dead man's cloth? ing. One of them, Gen. Washington, put on the Carmack overcoat ran his hand into the pocket and found the scabbard. Nothing was said of the discovery until the trial, when the undertaker wns on the stand. He was asked to search the over? coat, and to his astonishment found the scabbard. The defense claimed .that the scabbard.Indicated that Car mack carried the revolver ?n hie overcoat pocket, not in his hip poc? ket, as the State contends. The bullet episode was important, too. The State contended that Car mack never fired a shot; that Cob 'ooper, shooting at Carmack, unin? tentionally shot his son. Carmack's revolver turned up the next day with two shells empty. Robin's revolver Map given up the evening of the shooting, but Col. Cooper* gun was rot surrendered to the officers for a day or two. "And guns can readMy be cleaned." added Gen. Gates. "The bullets might have fitted Carmack's ???volver and s*'ll never have Wc It, and no surgeon ever lived who vou'.d eay it could work out of a packed wound.' PEABODY SCHOOL FOR TEACH? ERS.

CRISIS PASSED IN PARIS. Authorities are Hard at Work Dia- ; Infecting Submerged Premises and ' Relieving the Sufferers. Paris, January 31.?The improve- j ment in the general situation con UnttCg and the spirits of the Parisians ! are rising as the waters fall. Street j hawkers are selling post card pic? tures of the flood, and the boulevards are once more gay with rejoicing thousands. With the crisis past, the mercurial French temperament faces the sub sid'ary troubles with a light heart, but the papers already are sounding a note of warning that the lesson must not be forgotten; that measures must be taken to avoid a repetition of the disaster. This can be done by the construction of a cut-off either in the way of a canal or a large un? derground conduit around Paris. The perfect of the department of the Seine has issued instructions to the owners of flooded houses to clean and disinfect their premises to the satisfaction of the municipal archi? tects within twenty-four hours after the subsidence of the waters. Other? wise the work will be at the cost and risk of the owners. The Government has ordered the tax collectors to show the greatest leniency to delinquents and the Mont de Piete is extending pawn tickets for three months. Several steam trams today resumed the work of pumping out the subway, and considerable progress is being made in the sections where the flood is lowest. MANY EGGS IN COLD STORAGE.

The eggs have been there since last March, it was learned, to? gether with 100,000 pounds of poul? try stored since last April. Prosecutor Pierre P. Garden, of Hudson County, has subpoenaed the managers of the Union Terminal Cold Storage Company, in whose ware house the eggs and poultry are sa'd to be stored, and officers of other large refrigerating companies to ap? pear before the grand jury Friday, when the prosecutor hopes to trace other large consignments of ancient meat and produce. The investigation is directed against the cold storage concerns as a basis for determining the cause of the high cost of meats and other household necessities. Prosecutor Carden said today that if he can find evidence sufficient to warrant indict? ment under the common law for con? spiracy to raise prices, he will advise the grand jury to indict those who are responsible for holding moa:, eggs and other food stuffs In storage MANY MINERS KILLED.

Senator Tillman's friend, Senator Joe Ba''ey, of Texas wont address the Legislature, the proposition to invite h'm being so vigorously attacked in the senate today that Senator WestOn withdrew it.
