nearly two to one. The issue was
squarely made and this puts the Georgia

that Malone will meet Mckinley, of Ohio,

to come down here and stump the State in

Fitzhugh Lee by II, 900 majority. Mr.. Reed,
however, has never spoken in the State.

AGAINST THOMPSON BELL.

The Master Decides That $4,000 Worth
of Bank Stock Can't be Transferred-He
Was Not a Member of the Firm.
II. r. Ewing, Esq, yesterday filed his
report as master in the case of Thompson
Bell against the Farmers Deposit National
Bank, james Marshall, Thomas M. Mar
shall, ESQ.,, Mark W. Watson and Matilda
Marshall, executors of James Marshall,
deceased. The suit was a controversy about
80 shares of the stock of the Farmers De-
posit National Bank, which had been
pledged as security for q note for $40, 900.
james Marshall, Sr., and james Marshall,
Jr., had been in business together as James
Marshall & Co. Previous to his death the
first named withdrew from the firm, and
james Marshall, Jr., conducted the busi-
ness. He was also acting as executor of his
fathers will. In 1888 he borrowed S20, 900
from Thompson Bell, pledging as security
the 80 shares of bank stock, though at par It
was only 800 per share. The stock be-
longed to his fathers estate, but he stated
that he wanted the money to put into the
business OF the firm of James Marshall &
Co., in which his fathers estate was inter-
ested. He afterward failed, and when the
note became due it was not paid.
Mr.. Bell then demanded transfer of the
bank stock to his name. The bank officials,
acting under the instructions of the heirs Of
the estate, refused to make the transfer.
Suit was next brought to compel them 10
do so.
The master in his report finds that James
Marshall, Sr., was not member of the firm
of James Marshall & Co. at the time of his
death, and that his estate was not interested
in the business and that the bank stock
could not be held to any pledge of James
Marshall, Jr. He recommends the dismis-
sal of the bill except as to the share of
james Marshall. Jr.. as an heir, in the
stock, which should be held by the execu-
tors, subject to any rights the plaintiff has
to claim

-One OF the most remarkable murder cases
ever recorded in Alabama is on trial In the
Fayette county criminal court l. r. Smith
was employed last spring as detective. He
arrested Jackson. the negro he killed, thinking
he was murderer. He afterwards learned tha
he was mistaken In his man. In order to secure
his reward Smith told the negro he would re-
lease him IL jackson would allow him to cut of
one of his ears. Jackson's ears were marked
similarly to those of the negro wanted The
negro agreed and the ear was cut of. Smith
then feared that Jackson would berray MIN.
and determined to kill him. He gave him the
choice of hanging himself or being hanged.
The negro chose the former. and while pretend
ing to search for q suitable place. made q break
Smith left believing him dead. The negro
lived, however, to tell the tale, and his dying
statement is the princiI al evidence.

side Are Now Announced.
LED BY AN ASSOCIATE OF MOODY
Four Denominations Already Represented
for the Work.
CHURCH NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE CITY

Feeling the need of more aggressive work
than the regular services, number Of
churches on the Southside have united to
hold a series of gospel meetings, among
which are the Ninth United Presbyterian,
the Eighteenth Street NJ. P, the Walton
NJ. E. and the Twentieth Street Presby-
terian. These meetings will begin on Sum-
day evening the 18th inst. in the skating
rink, on Carson, between Twenty second and
Twenty-third streets. Major james H.
Cole, the earnest evangelist, will assist the
pastors in these meetings. Major Cole has
almost worldwide reputation, having accom-
panied Mr. Moody in his revival work. All
evangelical churches and ministers, with their
workers. are cordially invited to assist. These
meetings will be continued for two or three
weeks at least.
Rev. Dr. Bonar, whose name was so well
known because OF the hymns he gave the
churches, and who died so recently, wrote
these lines to Sunday school teachers:
Thou must thyself be true,
If thou the truth would teach;
Thy soul must overflow,
If thou another's soul would reach;
1t needs the overflow of heart
To give the lips full speech;
Think truly, and thy thoughts
Shall worlds famine feed;
Speak truly, and each word of thine
Shall be fruitful seed;
Act truly, and thy life shall be
A great and noble creed.

This is the Verdict of the Coroner's Jury In
the Mary Smith Case.

This is the Verdict of the Coroner's Jury In
the Mary Smith Case.
The inquest on the death of Mrs. Mary
Smith, the colored woman shot by her hus-
band, was held before Acting Coroner Gripp
yesterday morning. Robert Bagley and his
wife, who live in the same house, testified
to being asked by Smith to 60 for a police
man and to finding Mrs. Smith dead in her
bed. Smith acknowledged having shot his
wife to the Bagleys, and they said he was
of an intensely jealous disposition.
Andrew R. Ferry, a colored police off,
Ger, also testified to Smith having told MIN
that he had shot his wife because she was
untrue to him, and that he had found letters
to her from other men.
At the conclusion of the testimony the
case was given to the jury, who found that
Mary Smith came to her death by gun
shot wound in the left temple at the hands
of her husband, William Smith. He was at
once committed on charge OF murder in the
first degree.
Smith was resting easier at the Mercy
Hospital yesterday. and will probably be
removed to the Jail to-day or tomorrow.

But the most singular feature of the mat
ter is that this notion of a supreme being
and an antithesis, the temptation, the fall,
the expulsion from a state of privilege, the
endless punishment for rebellion and sin, and
the final sentineling of the Baurie Rom s
dwelling by "a great chief" like our later
poetic station for ST. Peter, crystalized in
the minds of pilgrims by the Narbudda and
Tapstee rivers from 900 to 5000 years ago,
remain intact in the brain and thought of
every one OF their Gipsy descendants that
live; that is, the bare story, the myth of a
substance, the wiaith of some wondrous Has
Been. But that is all. The Great Head is
nothing to the Gipsy heart. From wher-
ever sprang in the night of the ages this bit
of lore, while it is clung to as is life, it has
no influence on the life.
"Hits our way O. thinkin'." "Hit's good
enough for Gipsies." "Hus folk 'as no
mind vexin' about wat nobody doesn't
know" "Yous all goes crazy many time
an oft for w'ats hidden" "Ef there's any
one mightier, Baurie Rom's jess as like the
right one as yours" and the like; they ever
retort, and with imperturbable good humor.
They are willing to admit, to please you,
that there may be such being as God, but
they always leave you vanonished by the
most benign and suave proposition that if
there is 30 great power will take care of
everything wisely; and, ''acYnov, ,Gipsies is
