Complications arising out of the failure
Of the Alliance store, mentioned hereto
fore, were heard in court to-day. The
creditors charge fraud on the part of
Zimmerman, agent of the Alliance, in
disposing of the stock. The question of
setting aside the attachment was argued,
but Judge Witherspoon reserved his
decision.
Zimmerman claims the stock was sold
to Bates & Kingsbery, of Atlanta, and
other parties in good faith. He admits
that the entire assets, except notes and
checks, have been sold and the proceeds
applied to debts. Since the records show
that very few of the bills have been paid
by the concern recently, while, as one of
the saleamen testified, the average cash
sales amount to over $3.50 day, much
speculation has been INDUCED in as to
what became of the money.
This afternoon MIR. Zimmerman stated
that he had $4,000 of the money in his
vest pocket, which he de6ed them to get

Z Cyclone in Alabama.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, February ga
Cyclone struck Helena this afternoon
about 4 o'clock. A dull roaring sound
was heard and the people just had time
to get to their doors when they saw a
black whirling cloud flying over the hotel
in the Northern part Of the city. In the
next moment the telegraph poles were
being twisted off-like pipe stems. Com.
ing down the railroad track it laid the
station building fat on the platform and
then crossed the track diagonally and
levelled the store of Thomas Davidson.
@. T. and James Davidson were in the
store, and both were hurt about the head
and P.D. Lee was bruised about the body.
The cyclone then lifted and passed over
three story building, and struck the
Helena rolling mill about 200 yards from
the station, taking the roofs off of both
the bank, the mill and the stock house.
The cloud passed on in Southeasterly
direction, and reports reached here that
it struck Talladega in its course.

In conversation with your correspon-

expects Congress to pass the silver bill

expectations will be realized.
He says that the Alliance is not here to
try and intimidate Congress, but simply
to voice the sentiments of nearly 100000
free men and voters, who honestly be-
lieye their constitutional rights have been
disregarded in the interest of capitalists
and monopolists. The Alliance, says MIR.

and work increasingly to advance the
principles upon which the Alliance is
founded. He believes the Alliance will
make deep inroads into both political

He predicts for it great and glorious fu-

1T fully demonstrates that the people are now
awake to their own interest, and are no longerto
be carried away by flaming advertisements, in
which there is no real merit. IN this advanced
stage of the mercantile world there is only one
sure road to success-thst is, always do exactly
what you advertise. The individual or firm that
fancies that he or they can fool the general pub
lie will be sorely left They must not advertise
to sell goods at cost, and then make an eflortto
get Is per cent profit If they think they can
do this they will find out to their grief that they
will get sorely left, which fact is demonstrated
by the crowds that flock to our Store, while other
Stores would remind you of the deserted village.
