The Shot He Received Proved Fatal.
 Adkins and Kelley in Jail.

Sam Bowen, who was shot night before last in Haran's saloon, full account of which was given in yesterdays AGE HER. ALD, died at an early hour yesterday morn ing.
 When he was taken from the saloon to the Birmingham iufrmary he was vomit- ing blood, and the physicians saw at once that his case was almost hopeless, al- though they did everything possible to aid his recovery. The ball had done it's work, and he never was taken from the operating table alive.
 Bowen was machinist in the railroad shops, and was considered a very quiet and unassuming young man. He was about 21 years of age.
 The story as told in yesterdays AGE HERALD was as near correct as Ca be got- ten until 1t Is brought out in court.
 Bruce Kelley and James Adkins were held without bail and taken to the county jail for safe keeping.
 MT. Bowen's funeral will take place this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at Woodawn with Pythian bonors.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-A caucus of the house democrats to consider the pending banking bill will probably be held on the reconvening of congress on January g.. MT. Springer of 1llinois, the chairman of the committee on banking and currency, said today that he would strongly advocate this suggestion of having party caucus.
 While it might not be binding upon those present the general effsct would be good, And it would be better, in his opinion, he said. that the merits and demerts should be fully discussed in private. MT. Springer reported by him last week will pass the house by a fair majority.

 THE SULTAN DOESN'T WANT JEWETT. 2
 Secretary Gresham has learned officially from Minister Terrell Of the decision re- ported by the sultan, refusing to accede to President Cleveland suggestion that Con- sul Jewett accompany the Turkish com mission to Armenia and make an indes pendent report, and that the sultan has in : formed MT. Terrell that the matter may be considered later. It will be remem bered that the United States, as neutral power, was warmly urged by the sultan in the first instance to appoint a member of the commission, and President Cleveland in de- clining to accept this invitation conveyed the iutimation that he would consent to appoint a represe D tative of an independent capacity, whose report would be made to this government instead of to the Turkish government, and in anticipation of the &C., ceptance of this proposition by the sultan, Consul Jewett was named.
 It appears from the latest dispatches, however, that the French have consented to supply the third member of the com mission, the other two being Turks. As no rumor of evidence has been presented that American citizens have been mas- sacred, 1t is said in official circles that the United States would hardly be warranted in demanding that Consul Jewett be given the necessary escort to enable him to pnr- sue an independent investigation. 1t was in the general interest of civilization alone that the matter of American participation in tho inquiry was considered.

POUR JAIL BIRDS
Overpower tho Montgomery Jailer
 and Join the Birds-One Cap tured in Hay Loft.

MONTGOMERY, Dec. 6.-lSpecial. r. Four notorious prisoners escaped from the Montgomery county jail this morning. They were Thomas Martin of Buffalo and Franklin Leroy of Brooklyn, all round crooks and pickpockets; o. H. Stone, held for burglary, and Thomas King, negro horse thief.
 The watchman went down as usual at 8 o'clock this morning to turn the cooks out. He was secured by the prisoners, who had broken out of a strong cage, in which they were kept in the jail. A sack was thrown over the watchman's head. He was bound and gagged and carried out into the back jail yard.
 By means of coal hook the high wall about the jail yard was scaled and the ras- calls were well on their way before their movements were discovered. Stone was caught today in hay loft near town. Rewards have been offered for the others.
