Hear Complaints From Fourth and Seventh Districts.

MONTGOMERY, Oct. 10.-[Special.l l-The city is filled with Fourth and Seventh dis trict politicians tonight, who have come to attend the meeting of the state executive committee tomorrow, at which meeting the charges of fraud in the recent primary in the Fourth and the complaints filed against the democracy of Democratic Nom inee Denson ofthe Seventh will be heard. |.
 Captain Plowman and large delegation of Talladega politicians are o1 hand among them Messrs. Miller, Williams, Venable, Newman and others. Colonel Caldwell has been here for a day or two, and tonight his delegation from Anniston, headed by Messrs. Goodwin and w. c. Tunstall, Jr. :, arrived. Mir. Robbins is here with a strong delegation of men like Colonel Daw- son and Frank Pettus.
 If Colonel Denson is here have not seen him. Little interest is felt in the case against him, as everybody realizes the col ouel has cinch to win.
 Very few members of the state committee have arrived so far.
 Tonight there is good deal of lobbying. Captain Plowman's 8 friends feel confident t they can explain to the satisfaction of the committee the large increase in the demo- cratic vote of Talladega. One way they account for it is by reason of so many Kolbites coming back to the democracy It is barely possible that all three candi- dates will retire in favor of fourth man |, although this is only suggested in the streets as probability.

BAD BLOOD EXISTED
sep9 3nl 2T

AND PISTOLS WERE UsED-oNE CORPSE
 AND ONE WOUNDED MAN.
 MACON, Ga., Oct. 10.-A special to the Telegraph from Camilla, Ga., says: Last night about 7:30 o'clock the quiet of this city was disturbed by the firing of pistol shots on Main street. After the firing it was found that MT. B. B. Watkins, the town marshal, and MT. William M. Swindle were the parties engaged in the shooting. There were about six shots fired by both parties, and the result was MT. Swindle was instantly killed, he being shot in five or six places in the body and terribly shot in the head. He breathed his last few minutes after the firing had ceased.
 MT. Watkins, the marshal, was seri- ously shot, his leg bone few inches above the ankle being broken by one of the shots. There had been bad feeling be- tween the men for months, and trouble was feared when they should meet, as both were determined men.
 The body of MT. Swindle will be buried here tomorrow. MT. Watkins leg in all probability will have to be amputated.

OLlNER WENDELL HOLMES, THE POEI,
 INFERRED BY THE SIDE OF HIS WIFE.
 BOSTON, Oct. 10.-Amid a wealth of flowers the plain black cloth recovered cof- fin, bearing plate on which was inscribed 'Oiver Wendell Holmes" and containing all that was mortal of the famous poet, was placed at the head of the main aisle in King chapel at noon today and the simple funeral rites were held. They were con- ducted by the Rev. Edward Everett Hale, D. D., and consisted merely of the reading of the chapel service for the dead and tue singing oI psalms by the choir.
 In the chapel were gathered the relatives and many friends and admirers of the poet, and the ushers were all his kinsmen. All the seats In the middle aisle of the chapel were reserved and were occupied by the poet's immediate family aud intimate friends, memb bers of the Massach usetts Medical society, representatives of Harvard college and delegations from the numerous other societies of which the poet was 8 member. eHE

 At4 o'clock yesterday afternoon at East Lake Prof. K. P. Speedy, the great shai- low water diver, filled an engagement by leaping headforemost from 90- foot tower into the lake. The performance was wit messed by large crowd.
 Climbing up to the top of the tower Professor Speedy took in the situation, and after 8 few preliminary arrangements he made the daring leap. From the top of the tower he shot like an arrow for short distance and then fell the rest of the dis. tance with his body in horizontal posi- tion. He struck the surface of the water with splash and for . second was out of sight, when suddenly, a short distance from where be struck, he came to the top. derful performances at | clock this after-

HON. JAMES H. LITTLE TALKS

AND INDICATES HIMSELF AND YOUNG
 DEMoCRAoY-wILLINa FOR JOINT DE-
 BATE. nsasaa CUBE
 An AaE-HERALp reporter called on Mir. Little yesterday morning and asked if he had read Colonel shepard's communication to the AGE HERALD. He said he had.
 "Well, what do you think of it9"
 MT. Little said: ..I think Colonel Shep- ards strictures on me, Young Democracy and some of its members exceedingly un- just and unwarranted. did not during the entire evening speak Q disrespectful word of or to Colonel Shepard, nor W, u d ] willingly humiliate one of his years. During his speech l asked him several questions in perfect good faith and re- spectfully, which think any public speaker would have answered cheerfully. Ithink I am the only member of Young Democracy who asked him a question.
 "I went upon the stage in response to loud calls from the audience, as did MT. stepped back and MT. Aldrich stepped for ward and declined to speak, land then in- troduced me very courteousiy and asked the audience to hear me. Not until then had uttered 8 word. Il thought MT. AL drich had as much proprietorsnip in the sure if there was any question of propriety that this invitation eliminated it.
 HIt is not true that had made any prep aration for speech. did not have the time to prepare aspeech it l had desired, as I was engaged in, court and did not hear oi the meeting urtii some time during the day. The colonel does himself but little credit when he speaks in public print of shaking his finger in my place. If he had struck me he would not have angered me to any resentment whatever.
 "Young Democracy was invited to hear CoIonel Shenard udenlOustrato how. as a democrat, he could support Colonel All drich. Of course 1t was for the purpose and with the hope of proselyting the young idea. All whom heard epeak of 1t seemed to regard 1t as reflection on their party fealty, and felt that iu justice to themselves they should make a declaration of the principles of the organization and be al lowed to answer Colonel Shepard's argu- ment at the meeting. They were not in- ciined to regard a political meeting Tn 6 public hall as being surrounded with the same sanctity as . private establishment.
 "He says some very harS things H about racy is too self-respecting to bandy words with an old man aud too confident In rest ing its cause upon the fundamental priqci- ples to descend to the uso Of objectionable epithets toward it's enemies.
 "The resolutions were prepared by a member who tells me he had heard the col. onel's reasons in private conversation with him, and was therefore prepafed with the answer contained in the resolutions.
 "l see the Tribune says Colonel Aldrich and MT. Parsons were present and might have been challenged by me to debate. As this is the official organ I shali take it as those gentlemen, and shall be glad to have you announce that will debate the iesues of this campaign with either at such time as may be agreed Supon."

 a RUssELLviLLE, Oct. 10.-GSpecial Cor 9respondence. I'M. W. Howard, the popu- lite nominee for congress of the Seventh Congressional district, spoke hare today to about 100 people. He made feeble at tempt to set himself right in .regard to some questions he said had been previ- ously discussed here. If his explanations were satisfactory your correspondent failed to see it, for all attempts on Towards part to raise an applause failed. His speech, as whole, was a sad disappointment to those who expected to hear something.
 The "genial Reuben' was on hand and made one of his usual s'stereotyped" speeches of fraud, and appealed to the people to send delegation to his conven- tion, which is to meet in Montgomery some time next month. He said if he was not seated as governor of Alabama he would know the reason why.

DRY GOODS MARKET.
oct3 I'm

NEW YORK, Oct. 10. In consequence of a rain storm of great severity until late in the day and the Hebrew fast day excluding many sellers and buyers from the market, the demand for dry goods has been very light and so was new business by spot pur- chasers. The order demand was also of limited proportions. On the other hand very large sales were reached through for wardings of all descriptions of goods from the mills direct to the markets of purchase, whereby many current wants are being supplied, yet such shipments are not going forward in the quantities desired by many markets. There are no stocks of moment with agents and the tone of the market is very steady. Printing cloths quiet at 8 cents and no sales reached.
