The speed Of the train was not over ten

Of with wonder by all the pas

ascertain the time between mile posts. The
engines were small aud the fuel used was
rich pine knots and when the journey was

AMANIN A WOMAN'SRIG.
TRAINMEN AND OTHERS SURE BE
WAS ASBURY GENTRY.

The Noted Outlaw Supposed to be
Bound for the Home Of Bis Father
Near Felton-A Bonnet Kept Over
His Face to Prevent People from Get
ting a Good Look at Him.
CARRoLLToN, Ga, March 22.-Advices
from Buchanan and FELTON,, HARRISON coun-
tv. are to the effect that Asbury Gentry, the
noted outlaw who escaped from Fulton ooun-
ty jail on the first day Of this year, Is again
roaming over his old stamping ground
Yesterday a person who was dressed in
woman's clothing boarded a south-bounu
Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus pas
senger train at some point near Chatta-
uooga with a ticket to FELTON,, a few miles
north Of Buchanan. Conductor g. ID. Lit
tleton was in charge Of the train aud the
woman excited bis suspicion and also that
of several railroad men and some passen-
gers on the train who have seen the noted
outlaw.
HER APPEARANCE.
The woman appeared to weigh about $50
pounds, still she was quite low and looked
very masculine in face, when her face could
be seen. She was in the hrst-olass car and
face. Enough was seen of what appeared
TO be the woman, judging from her dress,
to make all aboard the train believe 1t was
a man, and that it was Asbury Gentry, who
has been accused of as many crimes for one
of his age as any man who ever lived in the
United States
SURE IT WAS GENTRY.
The matter has not become generally
known yet, but all who saw the person in
woman's clothing are certain that it was
Asbury Gentry. At FELTON, Asbury was
within a few miles Of bis fathers home,
and as he got OFF the train, he made for the
road in the direction of where Hon. G. W.
Gentry lives without speaking to any one.
Conductor Littleton says the party passing
of as a woman would not look at any one,
would not speak, had short hair, dark coin
plexion, was very heavy set and kept
bonnet pulled over her face all the time
while on the train. He thinks 10 was
Gentry or some other man. The people at
FELTON, are confident the party was Gentry.

ULSTER READY FOR WAR

a Big Campaign Fund-The Govern
ment Looking for Barracks.
LONDON, March 22.-The correspondent Of
the Daily Telegraph, who is travelling in u
ster, writes that preparations have now gone
80 far that nothing but bloodshed will fol-
low in case the home rule bill is passed.
Despite the denials of Mr.. Morley, chief sec
rotary for Ireland, the correspondent says,
it ia certain that the military authorities are
seeking barrack accommodations in
Belfast for a considerable body Of troops.
The names Of the officers who have
been engaging quarters and the property
owners who have been approached, he
adds, could be given if necessary TO prove
his assertion. The guarantee fund iu-
tended for the war chest of the men of
Ulster is swelled daily by large contribu-
tions as the liberality of persons not even
appealed 70 for aid has surpassed all ex-
pectatioDs. Each of four eminent Irish
men, says the correspondent, has sub
scribed ESQ 900 and the mayor Of Belfast
has given 10000. The total amount sub
soribed already is more than 81 ,00O,O 900.

Not Over Fifty Bales Left in the
Couuty-Business Dull.
ABEL, GA, March 22.-The last Of the
cotton crop was shipped from here to-day.
The lest posted merchants say that fifty
bales would be a large estimate on the cot
ton still held in the county. The farmers
In this section are making the same mis-
take of others-plauting a larger cotton
crop.
Business is very dull. March and April
are the dullest months in this county, as
the school season opens about May. The
prospects for a large wool crop are very
fiatterinR, and the merchants anticipate
quite large trade.
Adel can claim good health. A careful
search of the records fails to show single
death of an adult from natural causes in the
last year.

For "a Preachers Arrest.
MERIDIAN. MISS, March 22.-The town
of Purvis, Miss, on the New Orleans
Northeastern railroad, 100 miles south Of
Meridian, was destroyed by incendiaries
last night. Shortly after midnight
the torch was applied to five
buildings in different portions Of the town,
and within two hours almost every store
and residence in the place was wiped
out. The people ran panic stricken
into the streets, and the greatest
excitemens prevailed. The Western
Union telegraph office was burned
and the particulars are meager, but from
passengers who passed Purvis on a north
bound train this afternoon 1t was known
that the cOnfagration was the result
of a bitter feeling between the
white people and negroes, growing
out Of the arrest Of a negro preacher.
The negroes fired the town in revenge. A
posse Of citizens left Meridian for Purvis
on special train late this afternoon.
