BROCK GAPS MURDER.
II Is Creating Something of National
Reputation,

reputation.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oot 12.-The fol-
lowing are the circumstances connected
with the murder at Brooks Gap near here,
Saturday afternoon Of J. 7. Peoples, infor-
nation concerning which was telegraphed
20 Toledo, o. The telegram received at
Toledo, however, gave the name OF the mur-
dered man as Pepper.
1he murder Of ]. T. Peoples Is creating
somewhat Of a national sensation, and false
reports are being sent out about it.
Peoples murderer was William Brandon,
young man 90 years of age. Brandon is a
cousin OF William Brasswell, another
young man who had been a tenant on
Peoples place about two years ago. Peoples
had been at Birmingham Saturday, and
that afternoon went home on the accom-
modation train. Between the station and
his house he was accosted by William
Brasswell, who engaged him in conversa-
tion while William Brandon came up and
deliberately shot him. Brasswell and
Brandon fiourishsd their pistols in the faces
Of bystanders and disappeared In the woods.
THE MOTIVE FOR THE CRIME.
The only motive ascribed for the act ia
that while Brasswell was tenant on Peoples
place his wife and the old man had diff
Guilty, in which the woman laid board
vigorously over Peoples head. The old man
retaliated by using horse whip which he
happened TO have in his hand. Peoples was
quietly disposed and good citizen, so far as
known In Birminghem. He came from
Toledo, o., about seven years ago, aud
during the boom of 1886 he made q good
deal OF money in land TRANSACTIONS. When
the boom collapsed ne failed and then re-
moved to his little farm at Brooks Gap,
twelve miles south of here among the
mountains He never took any interest in
politics unless 1t was in his own locality,
and never made q political speech.

The Navy Department to Be More
Strict in Enforcing Contracts

AhS NSNy department to be More
Strict in Enforcing Contracts.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-The navy depart
ment is very much dissatisfied with the in
adequate deliveries of structural and armor
and gun steel by two great corporations
holding contracts to supply tho metal for
the construction OF new vessels. 1t is felt
that the department may be embarrassed
when IL applies to congress for money
to continue the formation of an
American navy by the fact that sufficient
domestic steel cannot be procured to prose-
cute the work in hand with due csierity.
The deliveries Of steel are now aud have
bson for some time much below the contract
requirements. In one case strikes have oc-
Cured at the manufactory, and In another
it is pleaded that the plant was not suf-
ticiently developed.
The department. has now determined to
cure this state of affairs and bring the con.
tractors 70 time, aud notice has been sent
in at least one case that the promises made
when tho contract was signed, that a proper
plant would be established, must be full
filled and that the deliveries of steel must
DO brought up TO the contract requirements
or the contractors will be dealt with strictly
according to the terms Of the document
TRANSFER OF WORK.
The department has heretofore waived
some OF its rights Ia the interest OF expedi-
ton. The contracts expressly forbid any
transfer OF work, yet one company was all
lowed to exchange with another a large part
Of It's obligation upon reports made TO the
department that the work could DO better
and more quickly done
This was tho caAe where one company was
better lifted to make thin boiler and struct-
nral steel and the other heavy armor
and gun steel. The arst was to be
rolled and the latter to be forged. But
these concessions by the department have
not been eifeotual; the new ships are being
delayed, and hereafter the contract stipula-
tions Will probably be enforced unless an
Improvement is noted

DEMOCRACY SURE TO WIN

A Desperate Fight In Progress for
Wisconsin, With the Chances n
Favor of the Democrats-oleve-
lands Chance of Carrying Massa-

Third Party No Menace.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 12-Representative
McCreary of Kentucky. who is member OF
the democratic congressional committee,
and has been travelling about the country
great deal and been in communication with
democrats from about all sections where
there is fighting.chance, said to-day; III
anything was needed to make the south
more than ever solid the trip of Weaver and
Maeee's mission to Alabama furnish it. On
the question of the tariff and the force bill
the people of the south are of one mind
The third party movement amounts to
nothing in this fight.
FEELING OF THE ALLIANCEMEN.
1.-THE alliance folks in the south are argu.
ing this way: That as a result of the pres>
ent fight either Mr.. Cleveland or Mr.. Har.
rison must win; that there is no chance Of
electing third candidate; that between
those two candidates Cleveland represents
them on the tariff and in opposition to the
while the election OF Harrison means the
supremacy of principles which they oppose.
They therefore say that they are democrats
for this fight and that whatever difference
they have had with that party they will
try to settle at a more opportune time.
This practically takes the third party out Of
the way as factor in the presidential oam-
paign.
sOLIDITY OF THE SOUTH.
"Mr. Cleveland will carry every southern
state by large majority. Even Weat Vir-
ginia is not in doubt as / look at it. have
received letter from Gen. Mitchell oon-
ceruing the situation in Wisconsin. He
says that there is desperate struggle for
the state and that the democrats are hope
full and are doing oil they eau. When was
up in Massachusetts, the democrats there
seemed almost confident. l should not be
surprised if Cleveland should carry that
state. Gov. Russell is undoubtedly strong
in the state and Mr.. Cleveland thinks
that be himself is stronger, which
seems to me to be true. l personally met a
number of republicans in Boston who told
me that they were going to vote for Mr..
Cleveland. They said that they were not
going TO become democrats and were not
going to leave the Republican party perma-
rently, but would vote for Cleveland just
this once"
