CHANGE FOR RAILROADERs.

POLITICAL DISTURBANCES IN COLOMBIA
 CAUSING A DEARTH OF EMPLoYEs.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Some interesting news of the political situation in Colombia was obtained from g passenger ou the steamer Adriandack, which arrived this morning from Port Limon and Kingstogs< 1t seems that immediately after the dt4[6 of President Raphael Nuneze, on Setten< Der IS last, the leaders of the politicGt fsc- tions in Colombia began preparatiossssinr. placing their party at the head of the gov ernment. Each move toward this enfl~ made by one party was followed by imme- diate and more aggressive action on the part of the other, so at the present mo- ment there is said to be two well equipped and well disciplined armies ready at the slightest provocation to bounce upon each other and decide by force of arms the future head of the government in the state of Co., lom bia.
 It is also said that drafting of men, both foreign and native, to these different mili- tary companies has caused such dearth of skilled laborers, as matter of fact of all la- boring men ,that the different railway com panies are offering fabulous salaries to en- gineers, firemen and train hands who will take the places of the men who have been forced into service by the contending fac- tiOnS.

o. W. Underwood and Capt. Joseph F. Johnston would open the congressional campaign in Blocton on the night of the 9th instant, and the local Underwood club made all necessary arrangements so that everything would pass of pleasantly.
 The train bearing the two distinguished Alabamians arrived just at night fall, and was met by a large concourse of people and by the Blocton brass band, which dis coursed several stirring pieces. short while after this the band marched to the hall, and in few moments every seat in the main body of the building was occupied by men who desired to hear their next congressman discuss the issues of the day.
 He was introduced by MT. Walter Maro- ney, chairman of the Bibb county cam- paign committed, and for one honr he ex- pounded pure democracy in such Q way that no doubt was left upon the mind of his hearers to his position on all vital questions, or as to Lis fitness and ability to represent this district with honor to him. self and to his constituents. His speech was clear, forceful and convincing, and his hearers will be glad of an opportunity to vote for such a man.
 The man, woman or child who has never heard Captain Johnston speak has missed great treat, for he is about the very best campaigner the state affords. l have often heard him, and always with pleasure, but his speech last night was particularly pleasing. A delicious vein of humor ran through it. which raised tue audience to an enthusiastic pitch, the humorous pas- sages serving to emphasize the many good and strong points scored by hiin. Blob county is full of his friends, and his speech last night drew them closer to him.
 The campaign is now fairly under way in this county, and there are strong hopes that the 5l8 opposition majority will be re- duced to naught.

VICTIM OF THE FLAMES
Mrs. Lizzie Hoover Tells of Her Ex- perence in the Forest Fires That
 Swept Minnesota.

Mrs. Lizzie Hoover, a victim of the re- cent Minnesota forest fires, is here. She has travelled from Hinckley, Minn., where she and her son were burned out of house and home by the fierce flames that swept that part of the state.
 She tells pathetic story of how the first intimation of the raging forest fires came to that lfated city and how the terror stricken people ran frantically from place to place, trying not to save property, but their lives. Mrs. Hoover Is 82 years old and bears ugly scars, the result of being burned iu the fires.
 Her son and only support was burned to death, and she escaped only by taking refuge in swamp some distance from the city.
 She was given pass from there to Wash ington, and from Washington to Atlanta. In the latter place she was furnished trans- portatton here.
 She was given transportation by Mayor Fox to West Point, Miss. her destination, where she will go today to live with a sister.
 The lady is aged and infirm, and when she told an AGE HERALD reporter of how kind the people had been to her tears filled her eyes and sobbing followed.

poison there was severe pain in the stom. ach and tonic convulsions of the muscles and spasms, followed by diarrhoea. There are also swollen places under the eyes. If long enough in the system arsenic would cause swollen stomach. Convulslons from strychnine and arsenic are different. The muscles are made rigid by strychnine. Arsenic will develop symptoms very soon after taking it, but strychnine acts much quicker. There are alcoholic poisons. Strychnine and arsenic have post mortem systems. Alcoholic poison causes spasms. l recall a case of alcoholic poison whers there were slight chronic convnlsions. Different tests are used for arsenic and al- cohol, and am of the opinion alcohol would not be discovered by an arsenic test. Alcohol produces pain iu the stomach and might cause death. Witness thought alcc- holic poison might follow the use of only small quantity of that substance. It might cause death. though no such case had ever come under his observation.
 DIR. CUNNINGHAM WILSON.
 If a considerable quantity of arsenic be pumped into the body about eight hours after death and the stomach remained in the body thirty-six hours, the stomach would contain arsenic. There is such thing as post mortemsdigestion.
 DIR. s. F. CARSON.
 Dr. Carson was examined Monday. He was again put on the stand yesterday. He took out Betts' stomach and found it sur- rounded by embalming fluid. He didn't know the formula of this fluid, except what he was told by the embalmer. sae&
 DIR. B. G. COPELAND.
 Dr. Copeland's testimony was mainly coIroborative of that of Dr. Luckie as o the effect of alcohol on the system, alco- holic poison, it's symptoms and the result of pumping embaiming fluid into the body.
 J. A. HARRIS.
 The testimony of J. A. Harris, given at the preliminary, was read. He met Geors @ Belts and went home with him. He was drinking.
 MRS. ZETTIE BETS,
 the defendant, was called to the stand and said she was the wife of George Betts, the deceased. She was nearly 20 years old and had been married to Belts about five years.

DISCOURAGING OUTLOOK.
NEW DEVELOPMENTS CAUSES FEELING OF UNREST AMONG THE OPERATIVES.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Oct. 9.-This af- ternoon brings discouraging developments in the textile situation. Tbe strike, which it was thought happily ended, may yet be prolonged. There is a sentiment of dissat. isfaction among. many spinners today in regard to the work of the conference com mittee. Much fault is found in particu lar with that part of the compromise ac- cepting the Fall River result as permanent. There are rumors this afternoon of papers being in circulation among members of the union repudlating the work of the com mittee. reporter this afternoon was unable to find one of these papers or any one who had signed them or seen them, but his inquiries revealed a very general feeling of unrest. A well informed North End man said this afternoon that it looked doubtful if the spinners returned to work Thursday.
 Secretary Hart of the Weavers' union says he has heard of the paper, but has not seen 1t. He adds there is good deal of dis satisfaction among spianers at the south end of the city over the action of the con- ference committed,

Ignites the Woodwork in a Penn
 sylvania Mine,
CAUSING A CONFEDERATION
One Man Dead and Others Known to Be Behind
 the Flames.

SHAMoK1N, Pa., Oct. 9.--While carpen- ters were at work repairing the timber in the Luke Fidler shaft last night miner's lamp on the head of Irwin Buffinton ignited the wood and fierce fire ensued. The carpenters gave an alarm and seventy miners commenced race for life, as the mine was filling with smoke. Through a shaft in course of construction they were ho:sted to the surface in an iron bucket, a great crowd cheering as the men reached the mouth of the pit.
 During the rescue the flames came up the air course and burned the fan house, and the fire department was called into servlces Superintendent Morris Williams and Mine Inspector Edward Brennan heroically en- tered the burning mine to seek for lost or exhausted men.
 At o'clock this morning Irwin Bu ffin- ton was found dead. It is known for 8 certainty that George Brown, we'll known local politician; John Gierzs, a la- borer; Anthony Roberts, driver boy, and Michael Buzofskie, laborer, are still in the mine. Heroic eff )rts are being made to reach them without, however, much hope of success.
 It is the fiercest mine fire ever known in the region. The colliery- is operated by the Mineral Mining and Railroad company ana gave employment to over oUu men anu boys.
 Buff nton's lamp started the fire, and his death was caused by his efforts to notify workmen in the mine of their danger. Everybody was warned and all started for safety, but the four named as missing be- came confused and lost their way in the smoke. Buffinton gave out 30 feet from the air shaft, where his body was found. This morning consultation was held by the officials and the advisability of attempt- ing to rescue the enclosed men was dis cussed. It was decided, however, that the effort would be worse than useless, as it would certainly result in the death of the rescuing party.
 The coal run portion of Ithe Fidler work ing is connected with the Gimblet and Hickory Ridge collieries, and in conse- quence they are not working.
 One thousand men were employed at the Luke Fidler coiliery and another thousand were given employment at the Gimblet and Hickory Ridge collieries. These men will be idle for many mouths.
 The latest plan adopted by the officials to quench the fire is by pumping all avail- able water into the mine and thus drown ing it out. This, however, will take months to accomplish, and it is safe to say that this valuable coal operation is prac- tically ruined, entailing loss of several hundred thousand dollars.

he had known George Betts about seven years. He was a strong, muscular man and steady worker. He had been working previous to his death and worked about half an hour the day of bis death. He complained of pains in his stomach. He drank beer regularly, but was not an habitual drunkard.
 Aaron Garris knew George Betts several years. He was not hard drinking man. He was hard working man. He lived within two blocks of MT. and Mrs. Belts. When tEe latter went home she remained away very near year. :.
 The state closed with the testimony of Mir. Garris and the defense recalled Mrs. Betts to testify in regard to her visit home the time she remained several months.
 JIM GALLOWAY.
 MT. Calloway's testimony brought out no new points, and when he had finished i, all the evidence being in, court adjourned until today.

RUSSIA AND COREA.

LONDON, Oct. 9.-The Manchester Guard ian publishes a dispatch from its St. Pe- tersburg correspondents, saying that Russia sent a note to Japan in September claim ing an interest in the future govern ment of Corea. Japan 's reply, it is asserted, was up friendly to Russia's proposal. Russia's position in eastern Siberia does now render that territory safe in a copf1ict with Japan, but large endorsements of troops are pro- ceeding to the military stations along the Amor and Usiri rivers.

 There is revival now on in our town at the Methodist church. We have four sa- looms in full blast. The minister in charge of the meeting has taken occasion to con :. demn the traffic in liquor in unmeasured terms. Some of the saloon men have taken high offense at this reference, but the re- vivalist lays it on heavier at every service.
