THE CITY
HALLOWEEN EVOLUTION.

0AcIOVcCN CvOIo WIN
The tabled witch of olden time
Was scrawny. cross and old:
She wore number seven boot,
Most dreadful to behold.
Her nose bent down to meet her chin,
Which had an upward turn,
And in their sunken sockets deep
Her eyeballs seem to burn.
Befriending none beside her cat,
In darkness she abode:
And when she wished to take the air,
A broomstick she bestrode.
The modern witch is beautiful,
Mild-tempered, young and sweet
A pair of cunning oxford ties
Encase her dainty feet.
Her nose is slightly retrousse,
A dimple dents her chin;
Her eyes are limpid, magic pools,
Where hearts keep falling in.
Surrounded by loving throng,
In splendor she abides:
And on the lively boulevard
wheel she deity rides.

The charge was petit larceny, in con-
nection with stealing a watch chain
valued at So, from a Canada house
guest. Aside from the chain, it ap-
pears that O'Brien was caught in the
act of stealing three vests, which he
had concealed under his coat, small
alarm clock and coat, wrapping the
latter around the former and conceal
ing it in the hay. In short O'Brien
had started in to clean out the hotel,
but was nipped in the act.
Bowling, the bachelor editor of the

the Democratic nominee and bears
the rather pretty name of Miss Mollie
Otto. The young lady called upon
Bowling q few days ago, and he re-
marks, Athat was all that was neces-
sary to bring us to time. We would
willingly support her for life, not to
say anything about supporting her for
the Office of superintendent of schools"
And straightway Bowling puts up for
cut OF the young lady, and after see-
ing it in his paper who wouldn't do
just as he did.

FRICHTFUL RESULT Of Sergeant Chinn's Remedy for
 Fighting Mosquitoes.
FORT PULASKI SHAKEN
By an Explosion of Loose Pow der lgnited by a Care
 less Man.

SAVANNAH, Ga. E, July 20.-An explosion of 400 pounds of loose powder at Fort Pu- laski at o'clock thls morning fatally wounded Ordnance Sergeant William Chinn, seriously injured Mary Washing ton, his mother-in- law, and set fire to the fort, causing intermittent explosions of fixed ammunition and doing much damage to the fort.
 Just after break fast Sergeant Chinn went into the store room, where he had his car penter tools, to do some work. In the room were several casks of powder, in all 400 pounds, and lot of fixed ammunition He aid as he has been in the habit of doing for some time during the summer months and took a handful of the dry powder from one of the open casks, wet it at the pump and then placed it in the middle of the room. He ignited it in order to drive out the mosquitoes, which had been abundant. It seems that, carrying the handful Of powder from the cask day after day, he had left trail of dry powder from the middle of the floor right up to it. AS soon as he had ignted the powder it burned along the trail and the entire 400 pounds exploded.
 There were three large explosions, each within a few seconds of the other, and China was knocked down three times in trying to get out the door. He managed to get as far as Foreman Auction's quarters, where the medicine chest was kept. Mary Wash ington, his mother-in jaw, who was ap- preaching the door at the time, was knocked about 40 feet and badly burned about the face and arms. The woodwork of the casema tes in the southwest corner of the fort was ignited and the large, heavy beams burned slowly and for q long time.
 The store room where the fire started was right adjoining the magazine, in which was stored two tons of powder. There was a D. foot wall between, but the constant ex- plosion of the heavily loaded shells in the store room gave ground to the fear that breach would be made in the magazine wall and the two tons of powder exploded. This kept everybody out of the way until Capt. O. NJ. Carter, the government en- gineer, who has charge of the fort, went down and made an inspection.
 It was found safe to enter the magazine, and thirty two casks of powder were taken ont. The men then began to play on the fire wish hose, and tonight had it under control. Within POO feet was 200 pounds of dynamite, which, in case the magazine had blown up, would have exploited trom the coneussion. [ s. .
 As it was, however, only the southwest corner of the fort was damaged. Two of the casemates were burned out and the roof overhead was destroyed by the constant bursting of loaded shells.
 The fort has quite an historic record. It was built by General Gilmore and after wards bombarded by him from Tybee Island until heavy breach was made in the southeast corner. This was April 10 and II, 1862. It was defended by Col. H. c. Olmstead of the confederate forces. Sergeant Chinn, who was in charge, is of the Twenty fourth infantry. He was burned and blistered over three fourths of his body and will die.

WITH A DIRK.
One Brother Fatally Stabs Another Three Times and Makes Good
 His Escape.

MERIDIAN, July 19.-[Special Corre- spondence. IA very serious cutting affray took place in this city just at dark tonight. The parties involved in the deadly combat were Joe and Mace Ellerbee, brothers, and well-known business men of the city.
 Mace received three severe wounds across the upper portion of the body, either of which may result seriously.
 An old feud has existed between the brothers for years. Ten years ago Mace, then a policeman, shot and killed one Wood ward, superintendent of the Queen and Crescent shops, in a saloon fight at this place. His trial was moved from this county to Kemper and resulted in an acquittal, and since that unfortunate occurrence the two brothers have been on unfriendly terms. Several fist fights between the two have taken place recently, but friends inter- vened and prevented serious trouble.
 Tonight when they met on the streets the deadly combat took place without word from either party, and not until Mace fell mortally wounded did Joe cease stab bbing the dirk into his brother's body. Then he made good his escape. The entire family bears the reputation of beng brave and courageous and fearless of any man.
 The affair is to be regretted owing to the high standing of the parties concerned.

DELIGHTFUL RECEPTION.

AsBvILLE, July 19.-[Speclal Corre- spondence. Hast evening the handsome residence Of Mir. and Mrs. J ohn 0. Turner was the scene of one of the most recherche events of the season in our f stiVe city. The occasion which called forth the assem- blaze of 50 much beauty and chvalry was a reception given by the genial host and his lovely wife to their feir guests, Misses Thomson of Adariown, Ga., Turner of Birmingham and Misses Forman and Mo. Lsughlin of Springville.
 Prominent among those present were Misses Kate Thomson, Willie Turner, Bettie Forman, Burt Mclaughlin, Della Robinson, Lila May Cobb of Montgomery, Otis Greene, Ella Cason, and Juliet Cole man of Florence; Messrs. Samuel and Rob- ert Hughes, Charles Gum, Will Bellinger, Eugene Cason, Walter Gum, King Rid dle, James Herring, Gardner Greene, Will Beason, Richard 1eague and Roston Rob- inson; Mir. and Mrs. George Hodges, Judge and Mrs. Greene, MT. and Mrs. Richard Cox and MT. and Mrs. Freeman.

 Beautiful women and gallant young men mingled in the dance, promenaded the halls and galleries or enjoyed tete- tetes in he parlors.
 The host and hostess exerted themselves to make the evening one long to be re- membered, and their efforts were crowned with success. Sufficient evidence of this was the reuctance with which their guests bade them bon nuit.

COULDN'T STAND IT
Kolb's Cohorts Refuse to Hear a Just Condemnation of Their Leaders
 Methods-Loyal Women.

BERRY STATION, July 19.-[Special Cor respondence. Yesterday was delightful day for the democrats of this and adjoining z precincts, the occasion being joint dis cusson between Hon. Daniel Collier, nom- inee for the Twelfth senatorial district; M !. B. McCollum, nominee for representative and Hon. H. H. Brown of Birmingham for democracy, and Dr. J. s. Hollis and MT. Zack Savage for the Jeffersonians or Kob party. Those who know our champions can fully appreciate the rich treat we en- ioyed.
 MT. Savage of the Jeffersonians opened the discussion, commenting on their plat form and few local issues. As usual the chronic vail of fraud was amply repeated, !, and despite the plain statutory evidence the assertion was emphasized that Kulb had no means of redress in 1892.
 NJ. B. McColluIn followed and gave his opponent roasting that was severe and highly amusing. The treatment of his posed referendum system of government was specially caustic and refreshing.
 Colonel Collier was the next speaker, and in his happy, forceful style probed and ex- posed the fallacies of the Jeffersonians, their attitude, accusations and demands. His speech was as rich in reparte tee as it was replete with facts and logic.
 Dr. Hollis followed and launched out with his stereotyped tirade against all dem ocratic principles and measures. When he finished notable exhibition of their well drilled unfairness was their refusal 10 hear Colonel Brown, but rose en masse and left the house, notwithstanding the appeals and scathing criticism of their democratic friends.
 When quiet was restored Colonel Brown entertained the many true democrats that were present with one of his matchless ef- forts. His entire speech glittered with sterling, undeniabie truths and was re- ceived with numerous outbursts of enthu- siasm. At the close he called upon all (including the ladies) who approved the action of Governor Jones in protecting the interest and maintaining the fair reputa- ton of our state, to attest it by rising. The indorsement was unanimous and given amid ringing cheers for our brave execu- tive.
 pleasant feature of the occasion was the presence Of large number of ladies, and at the conclusion of each speech by our heroes bevy of pretty young ladies arose and demonstrated their appreciation of their efforts by presenting them with numerous rich and beautiful bouquets.
 Our faithful band received fresh i'm petus and democracy in Fayette IS gaining new vigor and strength every day through the action of our bold and fearless leaders, Colonel Collier and M. B. McCollum.

COMMITTEE OF SAFETY
A Ringing Address of Warrington ganize for Law and Order-Repor5
 to tho Sheriff.

The committee of safety are determined | to do their duty to the people who selected | them. Their investigations and work is | being pursued with the utmost thorough ness and care, and it is safe to say that | lasting good will result to this comInu- | nifty when their labors ended. The | following address was the only part of | their proceedings of yesterday afternoon B | session that it was decided to give to the | public:
 | To the Citizens Of Birmingham and Jefferson County A situation of great peril confronts us. Vast numbers of unemployed are in our midst who will not work or permit their fellows to take employment. The God. given right Of the individual to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow has been denied him. In pursuance of this purpose the peace of the state has been broken. The law has been trampled under foot. scenes of violence and bloodshed have been enacted at our very doors. This has enforced the presence of the military upon our streets, and the tread of the soldier is heard in the peaceful avenues of industry and trade.
 It is in times of strife and disorder that anarchy, whose motto is revolution and | destruction, raises its serpent head to | strike at the very life of the nation and to | arm it's lawless cohorts with the assassin 8 knife and the inceudiary torch. In this hour it becomes the solemn duty of law abiding citizens, without regard to class, occu patton or previous condition, not only by word and conduct to uphold the law and preserve the peace, but to organize them- selves into companies and assist the con- stituted authorities of the state to enforce obedience to law and bring the guilty to the bar of justice.
 Your committee is convinced that there
 is a widespread spirit of lawlessness abroad
 in the land. We therefore invoke the off, cers of the law and all in authority whose duty it is to preserve the peace to be vigi- lant, active and fearless in the discharge of their duties, aud to call to their aid, if need be, the power of the county. Your committee cannot but xpress it's satisfac- ton that the masses of our people with one voice and one heart have supported and
 sustained us in our endeavors to maintain
 peace and order.
 Your committee congratulates the people
 of Jefferson county and the state at large
 that we have a chief executive at this time
 whose patriotism, courage and ability are
 equal to the occasion, and who has pre-
 sented to the nation at large an example
 worthy of imitation.
 Your committee cannot refrain in this
 connection from the expression of its highest commendation of the efficient serv-
 ices of our sheriff and the officers under
 him.
 The duty, fellow citizens, now upon us,
 is to orgauize-form companies, elect Off1-
 cers and report to the sheriff for orders. By order of the committee.

COLONEL DENSON
Jolly as Ever-Laughs at the Editors
 and Totes His Own Skillet.

Col. w. H. Denson dropped into Bir- mingham last night from Double Springs, Winston county, took room at the Nor ris and got clean shave.
 He came out of the barber shop looking as ruddy and happy as of old and soon had the usual crowd around him.
 He talked in the old exhuberant style and is evidently enjoying the canvass of his district. He isn't allowing the news papers to disturb his serenity, and when asked for an interview cracked a few jokes about editors in general and went his way rejoicing, in the full confidence that his district will turn up all right in November. He is toting his own skillet and doing his talking on the stump.

OVER HALF Al MILLION.

MONTGOMERY, July 20.-[Special. IA very important matter came up before Judge Bruce of the United States court yes- terday from the Northern district. It was the case of Chapman, Reynolds & Co. vs. T. A. Clark. The bill asked for the ap- pointment of receiver of the partnership of Chapman, Reynolds & Co.,, which is building the government works at Colbert shoals in the Tennessee river in north Ala bama. The main question argued was whether a contractor could form partner ship with others for doing such work under contract. It was held by the court that it could not. The case was argued and sub- receiver, but postponed the appointment until Monday. The amount involved Is about S505, 900.
