 Mir. Skaggs was introduced as the brains of the Jeffersonian party. He began his speech by saying that in olden times it was a sure sign of decaying court to see engaged about it jester. Colonel Hib- bard, he said, was democracy's jester. He said he would not attempt to tell any stories, and in the next sentence tried to tell one about traveller stopping at country house and being caught leaving room in which was kept jug of whisky. Just what he was driving at no one in the audience seemed to catch. Some one asked him if it was time to laugh, at which large part of the crowd joined in with eering laugh: no more jokes. He tried to span the whole universe in spread eagle style, but was seemingly unable to pursue any one sub ject to finish. dozen times or more he said he would speak of civil liberty, which he sad Was the issue in Alabama.

He praised Senator Hoar, the Home Market club and other sources of revenue for the Kolb cause.
 COLONEL HIBBARD.
 Colonel Hubbard in his rejoinder said MT. Skaggs' carried him back to his boyhood days, when school they had Friday after noon declamatonn. He asked if there would be any extension of rights or any new privilege given by Kolb'B election. The only people to derive advantage would be Kolb and few politicians who follow him. He said it were far better that all present be buried than have the state disrupted. The issue in Ala bama, he said, was democracy against Kolb. Devotion to Kolb is not patriotism; devotion to Ala bama Is patriotism.
 Colonel Hubbard asserted that the Kolb- ties had done little stufting two years ago themselves. He said this was done in Tal- lapoosa county! Some Kolbites present called for the proof. And Colo nel Hubbard responded by pro- ducng a letter giving the exact vote in Tallapoosa county and the popula- ton of the county. He said there was the proof that Kolb got over $500 votes in that county and Governor Jones 1100--one vote for every male person over years old in the county. No more proofs were called for.
 Colonel Hubbard had the crowd with him and was frequently interrupted with applause. MT. Skaggs presented h side oi the case as ably, perhaps, as 1t could be done, but he was outclassed.

OF THE SINKING OF THE CHINESE TRAILS
 PoRT-FLEw ENGLISH CoLoRs.
 PEK1N, July 30.-The following is the Chinese official version of the engagement which recently took place between the Chinese and Japanese fleets:
 The collision between Japanese and Chinese ships occurred in Prince Jerome gulf, in the inlet on which Izsnan is siu- ated. The Japanese attacked the Chinese vessels which were escorting the second and smaller division of troops dis patched from Taku to reinforce the Chinese army of Ashan. The Japs opened fire, the Chinese having strict orders notto fire unless they were attacked or the land ing of the Chinese troops was opposed. The result of the action was that the Japapes ironclad was diss bled by the Chinese bat tleship Chen Yuen. The Row Shing, which was sunk by the Japs, was char tered transport flying the British flag.
 No news has been received here of the joss of tbe Chinese ship Tsao Kiang, said 10 have been captured by the Japs. The Chinese and Japanese ministers remain at their posts.

And Two Injured by the Derail-
 ment of an Engine
OF THE TENNESSEE COMPANY
Near Pratt City-Jeff Faggott's UntimeIy Death-ACCident
 Caused by an OK.

A few minutes after dark last night an accident happened on the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company's track, near slope No. 9, Pratt mines, that resulted in the death of one man and the injury of two others.
 Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany's engine No. 2 had left the main line and was backing up to Slope No. 2. When about 100 yards from the main line the tender struck an OK that was grezing on the track. The engine was backing at fair rate of speed, aud when it struck the animal, which was large one, the tender was derailed. The engine, however, held the rails until the tender reached a small trestle about 20 feet ln length. Here it had nothing to hold 1t and turned over down an embankmsnt, carrying the engine with it.
 As the engine began to turn Engineer Tom Flynn jumped to the opposite side of the track to which the locomotive turned. His jump resulted in his leg being badly injured. A negro who was also on the engine jumped and sustained slight in- iuries.
 Riding in the gangway was Jeff Faggott, a guard, who was thrown some distance into a ravine. The fall, however, did not injure him very much, but piece of flying debris struck his spinal column and effected injuries from which he died an hour later.
 The track was torn up badly and the en- zine is a complete wreck. It now lies upon it's back and little is left except the heavy machinery. The track was cleared by F o clock last night.

Loving Parent.
 August Vogt, the 19year- old son of Carl Vogt of Brooklyn, has an unhappy habit of running away from home at inoppor- tune times and remaining away for days and even weeks. Two days after his last disappearance body was taken from the East river which was identified at the morgue as that of the missing boy. The same day an insurance of S1S0was collect ed from the Hancock Insurance company, and the following day the body was taken to his last resting place in Linden Hill cemetery.

 A SECOND JUMP.
The Children Doubted if Their Sister Would
 Be Allowed One.

Children are affected in divers ways by the prospect of wedding in the family. The idea of their sister getting married and going way, way off to liye, T" or of brother having house of his own like papa," impresscs them wonderfully. If they arc very fond of them, awe and sor- TOW are prcdominant, but as the occasion comes nearer and nearer the general air of festivity exercises a powerful influence upon them, and they become joyous and curious.
 There is family not far from Philadel- phia with which well known man of this city is about to ally himself It is a good sized family and the children range in age from or 3 years upward. Having lived in tho country all their livls they had never seen q wedding, and after tho drsolatcness caused by the thought of los ing their sister had worn off they began to be very curious about tho ceremony. Their questions fell thicker and faster, and their fond mother, who was very busy with matters of much moro moment than answering questions, finally told them that the happy couple must jump over a broomstick, and whichever jumped the highest would be the ruler of tho house.
 This made a profound impression on the minds of tho young people. The boys took their sister aside and in a frank and open way gave her some good advice about handicapping herself with that long train on your new dress"
 Why, you won't have the ghost of chance with that thing tagging after you," they told her, very earnestly. Finally aft CT numerous pleadings and jostings from her brothers, who thought they were doing their best to save her from a dreadful tyranny, they persuaded her ito practice little"
 ''I'll bet she's practicing every day." said one, with an evident desire to remove any doubts about the fairness of tho pro- cooding.

Investigation Invited.

Of course it is proper to inquire
about what any man says, Is it true?
The most rigid investigation is invi-
ted into the testimonials published in
behalf of Hoods Sarsaparilla. Spec
ial attention is called to the high
character of the persons whose testi-
monials are published by the propri-
etors of this medicine, as evinced by
their occupations or Endorsements. In
fact, no matter where testimonial in
behalf of Hoods Sarsaparilla may be
from, it is reliable and as worthy OF
confidence as if it came from your
most trusted neighbor.

Our Schools for 1894--5.

The corps of teachers for next year
is almost the same as for the year
past. This argues we'll; a teacher
improves because he has become more
acquainted with his surroundings as
much as because of added experience.
The names of the teachers and the
grades they will teach are as follows:
Miss Rose A. Bateman, first grade.
Miss Alma Covey, second grade.
Miss Julia NJ. Kennedy, third grade.
Miss Jane Nisbit, fourth grade.
Miss Mary Humiston, fifth grade.
Miss Kathryn Martin. fifth and sixth
grades.

~
A change of considerable impor-
lance is to be made in the High
School course. Some pupils do not
seem to want to study Latin; tho tits
strong study. yet all do not think it
sufficiently practical. To meet this
wish of some of the patrons of the
school, the Board has authorized that
those of the ninth grade who wish
may take Book keeping instead of
Latin Lessons. A full general course
has been arranged-one which in
cludes no Latin; but only the first
year of it will be offered now. We
hope that this will attract some who
had planned to go elsewhere to school
or to drop school work. Our High
School can, and will. furnish oppor-
tunities for thorough academic study,
whether classical or practical; and it
deserves, and should have, large at
tendance of young men and women
who are earnestly desiring to fit
themselves thoroughly for either bus
mess or college. If you are uncertain
about attending school this fall, go to
the teachers, ask about these new
plans and see if you don't find that it
will be to your advantage to enter
our High School.
