NEWSPAPER MUDDLE.

MONTGOMERY, July 30.-[Special. T. Saturday the Evening Post Publishing com- pany was organized here, with K. E. L.: Smith, city editor of the Advertiser, and Will Brumley, city editor of the Evening News, as the stockholders. The company purchased from the mortgagee of the Even ing News the outfit and plant with which that paper is printed. M. A. IIilson, chief owner of the stock in the News, brought suit enjoining the Post from taking his outfit, and the News company has in turn sued him for possession. No paper was printed today, but Hilson says the News will be issued tomorrow and hereafter. Brumley says the Post will certainly appear on Monday. Hilson still owes part of the purchase money on the outfit in use, and the mortgagee claims Hilson is behind with his payments, and under their contract the title to the property did not pass to him until all payments had been made. Hence he, the mortgagee, has right to dispose of it.

TWO MEN WITH PISTOLS
Exchange Shots on First Avenue-The Trouble Originated Over
 Strike Discussion.

A shooting affair which might have proved more serious than it did took place yesterday afternoon about 5:20 o'clock in front of the Sommers Tailoring company, on First avenue and Nineteenth street.
 The participants were MT. R. B. How ard, Louisville and Nashville conductor, and Mr. Dan Baker, striking conductor, who, until short time ago, was in the employ of the same railroad.
 A few minutes before the shooting oc- conduct.
 Both, after having been arrested, went off and got pistols, 1t is alleged, fuss having grown out of the strike. It IS also alleged that Baker went around making threats and tried to borrow a pistol. As stated, they met at the opera house corper, and when they did so, from all an AGE HERALD reporter could learn, Baker reached back for his pistol. The operation was followed by Howard and then two shots each were fired.
 At this juncture Officers Culpepper and Glmbill rushed up and arrested the men Officer Culpepper arrested Howard and Of1- cer Gambill Baker. The former was taken to Dr. Copeland's office, where the third finger of his right hand was dressed, 1t having been shot. It developed that the finger was shot while he held his pistol, and one side of the handle shot off.
 Baker was taken to the police station ano locked up.
 Both were admitted to bail in the sum oi S10O each,

farmer. The extract of his speech deliv- cred in congress on the education bill, which has been distributed so freely by the followers of Kolb, was explained to the satisfaction of all present.
 Colonel Randolph followed with an able address on the political situation in Ala bama. He showed how important 1t was to the people of Jefferson county that Colonel Oates should be the worthy sue cessor of our brave Governor Jones. His discussion of national questions showed that he was thoroughly posted on the issues tribute to Grover Cleveland, and when he said our president was the greatest states man since the time of Andrew Jackson the audience fairly went wild. It seems that Grover Cleveland is little near the hearts of our people than some of our politicians would have us believe.
 Two years ago this county gave Koib BOD majority but now the organized democracy can safely count on 800 majority for Oates. Many changes have been reported since the speeches of Morgan and Oates at Bangor few days ago.

THE CHINESE VERSION

OF HOW A TRANSPORT, WITH TWO THOU
 SAND SOULS, WAS SUNK.
 SHANGHAI, July 30.-The following is the latest Chinese version of the sinking of the troop ship Row Shing:
 When the Row Shing was oyerhauled by the Japanese cruiser the latter sent boat alongside the transport with a prize crew tc convey her to Japan. The Japa nese boarded the Row Shing and ordered her commander, Captain Galsworthy, an En- glishman, to proceed to Japan. Captain, Galsworthy refused to obey the order and the Japanese withdrew to report to the commander of their cruiser. The latter then opened fire upon the transport, using machine guns mounted In the tops of the Japanese ship. The fire was so well di- rected that 1t soon cleared the Row Shing' 8 decks. The cruiser then discharged two torpedoes at the transport, sinking her and drowning nearly all of about 2000 souls on board.
 Colonel Von Hannekin, German, form erly the vceroy's aid-de- camp, and a number of other foreign officers were among those killed by the fire from the tops of the cruiser before the torpedoes were discharged.

A STRONG TEAM.

DENsoN AND LUsK DISCUSS NATIONAL AND
 LOCAL ISSUES AT FORT PAYNE.
 FORT PAYNE, July 30.-[Special. ]-Hons. w. H. Denson and John A. Lusk spoke here today to large audience. Colonel Denson spoke on national issues and dis cussed the silver question. He said that his position had attracted great deal of attention, but that he was a democrat and did not straddle any fence. He made a strong democratic speech, but did not dis cuss state issues.
 After recess Mr.. Lusk made one of the strongest speeches heard here during the campaign. He had to wait sevtral times for the laughter and applause to subside before he could continue his argument. He riddled the pretensions of Kolb, and de- clared that under Oates the state would en- joy the prosperity of the past. He con tended for the Sayre law and other state issues. He reused his audience to the highest pitch of enthusiasm and did fine work for the ticket.

THE COTTON CROP
Bids Fair to Go Beyond the Eight Mil
 lion Mark~-Fine Prospects.

NEW ORLEANS, July 30.-Mr. H. M. Neill, the we'll known cotton statistician, has issued a circular letter, which will be published tomorrow, estimating the cotton acreage for the growing crop as 21 ,0OO, ,00O acres, and the probable outturn of the growing cotton crop, if only 10 per cent better yield per acre than last year, as at least $500, ,000 bales. In this he allows 2,450 ,000 bales for Texas and 6 ,450, 900 bales for all other states.
 In putting forth these figures MT. Nsill qualities them by saying that 1t IS impos- sible at this early date to forecast the grow this suggestion of the crop is given as a conservative calculation of probabilities, 1t must not be forgotten that tue promise to- day is equal or superior to any previous crop in every state, and that II each state should realize product equal to it's best crop we should have An average produc- ton for the country of 216 pounds per acre, which on 21 ,000 ,000 acres would give a crop of about g, 800 ,000 bales. Of course much may occur to blight this brilliant prospect, but the conditions at present, he says, are 50 good that nothing but a calamity, such as with perfect conditions at 30 late period rarely occurs, could bring the crop down to even so low a figure as $500. .000 bales.
 MT. Neiil figures that on the basis of an S,9O0, GOO crop, allowing American spinners to take 320 ,000 more in 1894 3 than the past year, and with European consumption and supply from other countries the same as during the current year, there will be left over to be added to the visible supply more than 1 ,0G0, 900 bales excess by September l, 1895, compared to September 1, 1894, unless such decline in prices should occur as would stimulate consumption and induce spinners to carry very large invisible

CALIFORNIA SHAKEN.

Los ANGELES, Cal, , July 30.-Fhis city was shaken by an earthquake last night at 9:11 o'clock. The direction was from northeast to southwest, though most of the movement was more of an upheaving than of an undulatory character. It was sharp shock, but did not do much damage. At Santa Manoca and San Pedro a tidal wave was looked for, but no indication of one was noticed. At Acton there were three distinct shocks, the most severe ever felt in that region, but no special damage is reported. A peculiar feature of the shock at that place, however, was that immedi- ately after the vibrations ceased a large meteor similar to the one which attracted attention Friday night here was seen to fall to the north. It appeared to be an inn mense ball of fire rapidly moving from the zenith to the north.

A CHANCE FOR ALABAMA. Key West May Be Made a Coal
 ing Station.
AN EXPERIMENT TO BE MADE
With Alabama Coal by the Montgomery on Her Visit
 to Mobile.

WASHINGTON, July 30.--The govern ment has determined to establish naval coalng station for the north Atlantic aud Caribbean sea fleet at Key West. It has been the custom of the navy department for many years to order vessels cruising there to coal, generally either at Kingston, Jamaica, Carthagena or Colon. It has been demonstrated that tbe new move will result in great economy in the cost of fuel, but that is not the only consideration that has influenced the action of the govern
 ment. American coal will be used instead of foreign coal, which is now generally found at Kingston, Carthagena and Colon.
 A market will be afforded for many tons of
 Alabama, Tennessee or Virginia coal. Re- cent appropriations will enable the navy
 department to increase the facilities for the
 storage of coal at Key West, and this will
 probably be done.
 It is the secretary's purpose to send the
 Montgomery to Mobile about the trist of October next, where she will receive the testimonial now awaiting her at the hands of the ladies of Montgomery. Then she will, unless some public exgency prevents, cruise for time in the waters of the gulf, and miners will be invited to send to her for trial while there specimens of their
 coal. All Alabamians hope that the results of the trials will be to secure for Alabama
 coal the market thus opened. Everything
 will depend, of course, upon the price at
 which coa! can be laid down at Key West,
 and its steaming qualities. The Montgom- cry has been ordered to make similar trials of coal on Puget sound, in the extreme northwestern portion of the country.
 The navy department looks upon Key V est as a point of great importance in
 case of war. Any foreign naval power that could maintain itself at Key West in time of war would command the gulf.
 As naval station it's importance to the | United States cannot be overestimated.

resolution, that prompt action which he said the house had right to expect.
 The morning hour was occupied by the consideration Of business reported from the committee on military affairs.
 Several private relief bills were passed. The remainder of the days session was wasted in a vain effort to get consideration of MT. McRae's bill, entitled, ia bill to protect public forest reservations. The committee on rules had given him this evening for it's consideration, the vote to be taken at 4 o'clock, but the opposition, , which was quite active among the repre- sentatives or the western states, in which these reservations lie, was sufficient to pre- vent definite action on the order. The bill has been before the house on several oc- casions, and has always been successfully antagoniZed.
 The absence of quorum was developed at 3:45, and then the house adjourned.

A FIzZLE AT TusKEGEE.

TUsKEaEE, July 29.-Last Saturday a number of Kolbites met here expecting to hear several of their prominent speakers from distance address them, but were disappointed looking crowd when they found out that their speakers had failed to come. Six of their number, with pistols in belts fastened around their waists, went to the depot to escort their speakers up, but no one came. They decided to have a meeting, however; so met at the court house and listened to lengthy harangue from Baker Simmons and Ben McLarren, but byth failed to arouse any enthusiasm whatever. Simmons spoke ln his usual dry style, but had been heard too often on other occasions to be appreciated. It was McLarren s second attempt, so his ended in a ridiculous fizzle. As Simmons was making his grand peroration he unfolded about six yards of white homespun, upon which were inscribed the following words: stEqual Rites too all, Special Favors to None.', The spelling created roar of laughter from the Oates men present. By previous arrangements the Kolbites were 10 divide time with Congressman Cobb, but when he was called upon they, with only a few exceptions, all filed out like a drove of sheep. One of their number yelled to the crowd to come back, but they paid no attention to him. Judge Cobb Stated that he had spoken at other places and the Kolbites had always given @ re- spectful hearing. He made good speech to large number of democrats who were already present.
