FROM A MOVING TRAIN
Leaped Tom Simpson, Son. in- Law of R. H. Hudson, the Desperate,
 While Under Arrest.

Night before last Detective Brienstein arr rested Tom Simpson, son-in- Jaw of R. H. Hudson, tue despefado, on being given up by his bondsmen. The arrest was made at little place called Oakman, in Walker county, and he was placed in a guard house and Kept there until yesterday morn ing, when he was put on the Commercial Club express.
 The detective did not handcuff him as he talked so pleasantly and expressed his willingness to come back to Birmingham. He was seated by the side of the defective and near the door.
 Just after the train pulled out of the sta tion at Little Warrior some one opened the door of tho car in which was the prisoner. Seizing the opportunity he jumped out the door, daringly leaped from the moving train, alighted on his feet, and throwing a kiss at the passengers was soon into the woods. He was seen no more, aud it is very likely that no one will go in ths woods 10 hunt him, as he is a relative of the Hudson family of desperadoes and is known to be fearless.
 So far as is known he is still in the woods.

 E your issue of yesterday you inquire,, HWhere are we at?'' I don't know where the other boys are at, but know where am at today. On Monday, November 19, 1894, was for VanHoose. Since Monday night have been for Warnock, and will be till he is elected. am an ''organized democrat. had been led to believe that this campaign was non- political-a busi. ness affair. The negro clergy and Bob Moseley disabused my mind of such an idea at the wigwRm on Monday night. They made the campaign very political. The true inwardness of their supportin g VanHoose was developed so that anyone could see it without the use of magnify ing glass. will not lend my voice or my vote to putting the white people of our state and county where they were up to 1874, i. e. under negro and radical rule. I write this so my friends whom l prom ised that would support VanHoose may know that am no turncoat. Personally I like Van Hoose. He is a good man, good citizen and would make a good mayor; 1; but cannot and will not help any mon to reform this way. This is reformation with a great big R. Yours,

IN THE COURTS.

The Euuabble over the directory of the Alabama Great Southern Railroad company is now before Judge Wilkerson in the chancery division of the city court, where it is being argued.
 The 7th of November a temporary in- junction was granted by Judge Wilkerson restraining Hepry A. and John H. Taylor, Eugene Zimmerman, Alfred Sully, Mel ancthon D. Woodord and Henry A. Shoe- maker from assuming the directorship of the Alabama Great Southern company. The petition was filed by John Greenough, Calvin Brice and Samuel Thomas, who were mem bers of the directory elected in 1893. They c aim that Taylor ct al. are not legal directors of the Alabama Great Southern company, they not being stockhol lders.
 Judge Bruce granted atemporary iujunc- tion on petition of Greenough ct al. about the 1st of October, but Judge Pardee dis solved it about the time Judge W1lkerson granted this Injunction.
 Judge Wilkerson set yesterday for hear ing the case.
 h their answer to the bill the defendants state that subsequent to the order of Judge Pardee dissolving the injunction the drec- tory met and proceeded 10 an organization by electng s. M. Felton, former first vice. president, as president to succeed Edward
 
 injunction.
 The plaintiffs moved that the defendants be considered in contempt. They argued that the Taylor directory was illegal, aud that while under restraining order from the court they met, organized and did otber official acts. The complainants sug- gested a reference of the matter to a special master, who could take interrogatories aud such other steps as might bs necessary to prevent the respondents from exercising the powers of directory.
 The contempt proceedings were being argued late yesterday afternoon, when court adjourned.
 The complainauts are represented by James Weatherly of this city, B. w. Cole man of Jasper and Henry Crawford of New York.
 London 6 London, A. G. Smith of this city, J. M. Dickinson of Nashville and MT. Kittridge of Cincinnati appeared for the respondents.
 The new, or Taylor, directory represent the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton in- terests. The Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton people own 1000, ,0o0 of the Cin- cinnati southern extension bonds, aud these bonds control the Alabama Great Southern. Greenough, Brice and Thomas, the complainants, represent l,5JO,O of bonds.

the bounties of his beniticence az
literally and as wide as his knowl-
edge of suffering. All in all George
W. Childs stood at the very first
OF all good men. If there
were any poor to be relieved George w.
Childs re.ieved them. He did not
wait for the cooperation of others.
If there was any distress Of any kind
he did not inquire through commit
tees or otherwise if the distressed were
worthy, all he wanted to know was
what was needed and he gave it.
1t would not be an exaggerstiOn to
say that George w. Childs stood out
most prominently upon the canvas OF
the nineteenth century as the greatest
philanthropist of the age, The rich
will remember all his gentleDess,
singleness of purpose and purity OF
heart and life, and the poor will bless
his memory. How glorious is that
lie, that when the shades of death
settle down upon its victim, and the
yawniDg grave receives the lifeless
form, that a nations tears bedew the
sod above it, and nations heart goes
out with one acclaim that there was a
man, natures nobleman; a man that
makes every other man feel exalted
when he remembers he was OF his
own race and lineage; truly man
who was made in the image of God,
and who began His highest service
like the meek and !owly Nazarine.

AN0THEG MURDER CONFESSED BY
TIE DEMON FACING DEATH.
stoue Says Re smothered the Little Girl,
Who Was Expscted TO Recover, and
Thus Put the Only Witness.
Out Of the Way.

WASHINGTON, Ind, Feb. SIT
seems that the sextuple murderer
Stone, who is now awaiting the day
of execution at Jeffersonviile prison,
is deeper dyed william than was at
first supposed, if such thing could
be. His vile and children and father
visited him one day last week, and to
his father, it is learned today that he
went over the details Of his fearful
crime, relating an act If his that will
mark him among the blOodiest of
human butchers. Ii will be remem-
bered thaG the little daughter Ethel
survived the fearful slaughter and
was taken to a neigh boris house and
for several days she wavered between
life and death, and il was on her evil
deuce that the authorities expected to
locate the fiend, but suddenly she
died. Stone, it is now ascertained,
confessed to his father that one day
he went to his neighbours house and
while they were at dinner in another
room he smotbered little Ethel to
death, thus clearing himself of the
only living witness to his fearful
crime
