Tbe block system of operating trains went into
effect Sunday. on the Erie, between Kent and
Salamanca. The distance between each station
constitutes a block. and no train is allowed to
enter block while it is occupied by passenger
train. Freights are allowed to follow each other
hVe minutes apart, under the necessary precau-
tlons. Passenger trains may. in emergencies
follow freights, 10 minutes behind. the necessary
signal being given to show that another train is
ahead of them on the block. There are three
signals in use In the daytime yardarm is EN-.
ployed, and at night.red. greer. .and white lights
The frst signal indicates danger. and requires
the train to stop. The second denotes caution
and the train may proceed. but must be under
control. The third means safety, and the train
may go on to the next block at its regular speed.
The system is absolutely safe so far as passenger
trains are concerned. and if the rules are lived
up to. there will be no further Erie Railroad
horrors like the one last July.

It is rumored that an investigation is to be
made of the sworn statements of one VIM. Fl.
Moore, in his application for the license granted
him Monday, for the marriage between Miss
Dora Keck and himself. which occurred the same
day. 1t is said that the girl is only 16 years old.
in which case Moore would be guilty of perjury.
as he swore she was of age. 1t seems that the
girl became infatuated with Moore while he was
in Jail under charge of highway robbery. and
arrangements were secretly made for an early
marriage. 1t will be remembered. that some
time ago, fac, smile jail door key was found
upon the person of prisoner. which odportune
discovery prevented wholesale jail delivery.
1t now transpires that the girl knew all about
the plans of the inmates. and at their direction.
absented herself from the vicinity of the cell
room entrance at the time fixed upon for the at
tempted escape. To complete the chapter, sew
eral articles of personal and household utility
were found upon her persSn and in her trunk
| when she was about to leave. which proved tc
| be the property of the Sheriff. In spite of all
these facts. she was united to the object of hel
choice. and the knot is apparently as fast as the
celebrated Gordian knot.

The Good News meetings in the Universalist
Church continued to increase in interest until
the close. Last Sunday evening many could not
get even standing room, The singing by Mrs
Mcleod was very satisfactory. and she has
made deep impression upon all who heard
her. She was ably supported by the choir and
congregation. The sermons and addresses were
able and truly Christian in thought and spirit.
The moral and religious tone OF the whole
community has been elevated, and on Easter
Sunday the Church will receive accessions to
its membership.
On Monday evening o large number parsook
of an excellent supper furnished by the Wo-
mems Alliance, and then enjoyed rare musical
treat and the singing was truly enjoyable. Mr..
William Linton and Messrs. Stocker, Clark
Jackson and Ellison. assisted Mrs Mcleod and
members of the choir. The closing solo, Gene
We've, by MRS. Mcleod, will never fade from
memory. To her a vote of thanks, and the wish
| for her return in the near future. were unani-
mously rendered, amid much enthusiasm. The
pastor and Church will probably arrange for
| another series of meetings, beginning April TO-
and continuing over Easter Sunday. If this
arrangement is made Mrs. Mcleod will assist.

The news has gone flashing over

earth, into the howell and the man
siOn-that Jay Gould, his daughter

two miles over a dusty road out in
Idaho. 1t will be read with wild

iialists and bioated bondhoiders
coming to, anyway! .
This startling piece of intelligence
caused great furry in the stock
Exchange in New York. Many
stocks fell several points with dull,
sickening thuds that found echoes
in every bucket shop in the land.
The spectators could not account
for the downward tendency of
stocks, and were greatly worried in
consequence.
Hereafter, when Jay contemplates
such rash thing as exercising his
pedal extremitIes over dusty roads,
he should give due notice and avert
a probable financial panic.

CLIPPINGS FROM CARMACK'S COM
MERCIAL.

at would be a great deal better for
Judge Turney to get too sick or keep in
such health that he could not accept a
nomination than to accept one obtained
by fraud, chicanery and every sort of
trickery known to the ring politician,
and then be condemned at the polls in
November by the honest yeOmanry tor
being such fool for allowing himself
to be made tool of by such men as are
controlling his canvas. If he was our
man we would ask him to repent and
decline before it was too late, too late
too late; how mournfuI the sound will
be to him."
We take the foregoing from the Cur
rent, Third party organ at Columbia.
Charges Offrsud, chicanery and trickery
are easily made, especially when the
accuser Is not required to give specifica-
tions or produce evidence. We defy
the Current to name a single county, q
single district or a single ward in the
State where fraud of ally kind was per-
petrated i'll the interest of Judge Tur-
ney. In no case has there been a Sill
gle specific allegation of fraud, and if
the Current knows of any such, it is it's
duty to declare it. If it cannot do this,
it must stand convicted of uttering a
falsehood. The TurneY men have
fought fair from the beginning of this
fight. They have frOwned down every
irregularity, and we challenge any man
or newspaper in the State to cite n
single fact to impeach our assertion
that no campaign was ever conducted on
a higher plane, or was ever freer from
unfair or dishonest methods than Judge
Turney's has been. Does the Current
want to provoke a comparison of rec
ords in this respect? Has it forgotten
Shelby county? and Rutherford? and

KICKING KOLB.

in Alabama there is a law allowing
each political party TO have one
representative as Inspector or Judge
of the election, who has, with two
other inspectors, the charge of the
ballot box. The Kolb men claim that
words that they are the Democratic
party-aud Is the Democrats them
selves DO not seem to object much,
the Executive Committee of the regu-
lar Democrats claim that as all are
Democrats the Kolb crowd have no
need of n special representative at
the polls any more than they, the
regulars, have.
Kolb carried his case into the
courts, and it seems that Circuit Judge
Speake decided with him. But as the
others took an appeal to the Supreme
Court, and that body ia now taking a
vacation, it is not probable the matter
will be settled before the election.
In the meanwhile KOlb is con-
Quoting the most incendiary cam
paign ever carried on in Alabama.
The fOrger of deeds, the raiser of
cotton weights, the political agita-
tor and the all round liar and dema-
gogue, is appealing to the lowest pre-
judices Of the ignorant whites and
negroes, and endeavOring to array
the classes against each other. Pos
ing under the mantle of martyrdOm,
and whining under the sickening ex-
cuse of having been cheated out of
his rights, this man, who was re-
pudiated overwhelmingly at the
primaries by the white people of
the State, does not now hope to ac-
complish his purpose of being elected
Governor of Alabama, but hopes to
SOW the seeds of political discOrd and
strife that good men may suffer for
his own weak ambition thwarted.
The cause of the white Democracy
will surely triumph. KOlb will be
beaten as never man was before in
Alabama and, having sown the wind,
may he reap the usual harvest which
springs from his malicious sowing,
with a deep, lasting and permanent
fatuitY.

AS we supposed at the TINA, it was
not 3 free born American lSbOrer VIII O
shot Mr.. Carnegie's manager. And
this leads us to another thought.
You hear it generally expressed that
the great trouble of the time is be-
tween labor and capital. This is an
unfortunate, unfair, and, strictly
speaking, untrue way of putting it.
The trouble is not between labor and
capital so much as it is between capt.
tsl snd anarchists. And it Is time
She political parties were putting in
sheir platforms a plank that means
something against the importation of
such labor to this country. That is
where Carnegie and his laborers both
fall below the ford. A very large per
cent Of his IabOrers are imported
anarchists, brought here by Carnegie
himself TO take the place Of honest
American workmen. In q fight be-
tween Carnegie and a large.per cent of
his sorkmenstherefore, it is the devil
ealing the kettle black.

FROM the information coming to

strength largely if not entirely from

Editor of the HERALD:
PENSACOLA, FLA- July 81 have
have, since leaving home, travelled over
the greater portion of the State of Ala
bama, and everywhere | find the finest
prospect for corn crop l have ever
seen, in the State. 1t is true good deal
of it is late and dependent on rains i'll
August, for a full crop. The early corn
is secure already. The cotton crop has
grown with wonderful rapidity, and
from the car window presents glOri-
Gus prospect, except when King grass
is in cOmmand-and owing to the con-
tinuOuS rains his domain Is wide and
extensive, covering perhaps one third of
the crop. Planters however complain
Of two much weed and too little fruit.
Floods in river bottoms and low lands
have drowned ont thousands of acres
of this flecey staple. The floods and
decreased planting, will, think, equal
a decreased average of ~ per cent i'll
Alabama. The crop has been made at
less expense per acre than any since
the war. This, taken with the increased
average in corn and other crops, would
indicate decided better condition for
the southern planter, this fall, than the
pessimist would now have us believe.
Politics through the State of Alabama
is at blood heat, but KOIb, the Mcdowell
of Alabama, will he beaten by a good
round majority. The incendiary appeals
to the negro, by Kolb and Bowman, are
causing thousands of Alliance Demo-
Gratis to desert him, and it is believed
that KOlb and his clal will, after the
August election, 90 boldly into the
Third party. Already the KOlbites and
the Republicans of the State are in
league, and united III many counties on
candidates for the Legislature and cOun-
ty offices, well as supporting the kOlb
state ticket for state officers. But the
Anglo Saxon is on top, to stay. This
must be white man government, in
spite of traitors within their own borders
and the force bill" OF the Republican
party.
l find considerable interest taken in
Montgomery, Selma and other Ala
bama cities that I have visited, in our
great fall races, over the kite shaped
track. several prominent citizens with
whom ! conversed say the grand enter
prise is not sufficiently advertised
throughout the state to attract that
attention and support it deserves. But
l assured them that the indomitable
w. G.. Jones would prove equal to the
OCCASION, and the grandest races, over
the fastest track in the South, if not in
America, would be fully advertised, and
that the city of Columbia would enter

honor us on that occasion. Yours truly
