STEWART

the Railroads..
Washington, D. c.. July 3.-'The
money power proved it's strength in
Kentucky as elsewhere" said Senator
Stewart, speaking Of the result of the
convention in that state as regards
the platform adopted. 1.-THE press, the
banks, the railways have formed a COM
bination in support Of the gold dollar.
It is, admit, a great power. The press
will only publish the gold side of the
question, the banks furnish the money
to assist them, and the railways carry
their people to conventions free OF
charge. Our fight, in the face of such
opposition, is fearfully one-slded
one"
what action will the republican ma
tional convention next year take upon
the money question:"
1.-THE position of that party was clear
ly outlined at Cleveland. They will
fill their platform with Juggling phrases,
calculated to befog and deceive the peo-
pie, and nominate a straight-out gold
candidate. The democratic convention
Of next year will not be so easily con-
trolled by the gold men. The majority
of democrats are bimetallists, which Is
another term for free coinage. The
southern people are overwhelmingly
favorable to the white metal. Yet, al
ready, the influence of the gold standard
is seen in that section. Quite recently
they have gained control Of the Nash
vile American, the Birmingham Age
Herald and ten or dozen other papers.
This shows that they are beginning an
active propaganda in the south, the end
of which no man can foresee."
"Why don't the silver people begin a
similar propaganda in the east?"
ITO do this requires time and money,
and friendly press. Unfortunately,
we possess neither
IF both parties nominate gold stand
ard men, or least candidates who are
opposed to the free coinage of silver,
what course will the silver men, who
are now democrats and republicans,
follow"
"The majority, in my opinion, will
vote for a candidate committed to BIZ
metallism. The remainder will prefer
to make their fight within the party
lines, as they express it,"
will not this be good policy?"
1T will be the worst possible policy.
Such men are more dangerous to silver
than it's avowed opponents. BY stay
ing with the party, they influence other
men to stay. We had rather have them
openly opposed to u.s.
Twill the silver men succeed in the
election of next year?"
Il can't say; they will do their best"
What will be the effect upon the
country of the election Of a president
opposed to the free coinage Of silver?"
widespread ruin and destruction
and the decay of civilization"

THE PASSENGERS AND ALL
Sticks of Dynamite Disabled the Engine,
and q Lone Bandit Went
Through the Cars.

GTduI FdSS, W., July q. LAG OOueAA
ern Pacific overland train, north bound,
was stopped at 1915 p. m. by three high
waymen in Cow Creek canyon, about 30
miles south of Roseburg. Sticks OF
dynamite were placed on the rails,
which disabled the engine by blowing
the f1anges Of her trucks and caused
the train to stop. Taking the fireman,
two highwaymen proceeded through the
train. Every car was searched. Moth
ing was obtained from the express car,
for there was no treasure aboard. Port
land, Tacoma Seattle and Victoria, B.
c., registered sacks were rif1ed. One
highwayman took hasty shot at Con-
ductor Kearney, without effect. One
of the robbers was about five feet IL
inches high, light complexion, light
mustache, projecting upper jaw, very
heavy pointed chin, upper front teeth
projecting and high cheekbones. He
wore blue overalls. The other was about
five feet eight inches in height, but as
he kept in the background a definite de-
scription could not be had. Superin-
tendent Fields of the Southern Pacific,
an hour after learning Of the hold-up,
had two parties on the way to the scene
of the robbery.
AS soon as the passengers learned the
cause of the stoppage Of the train, they
began to secrete their money and val
tables, which they were afterwards
forced to relinquish. All the passen-
gers gave their cash to the robbers in
sums ranging from S. to $4O0. The total
booty obtained, including the money
rifled from the registered mail, is about
81 600 One-fO11rth Of which WAS taken
from the passengers. The highwaymen
used the porter as guide, asking him
at every berth. Lady or CENT?" Only
the lower berths were inspected and wo-
men were not disturbed.
While two of the robbers remained on
guard outside the train, the third pill
LACED the cars. This highwayman, who
looked like a laborer, laughed and
talked with the passengers while taking
their money and valuables. The train
started from San Francisco on Sunday,
so there was little treasure in the ex-
press car. Sheriff Fitch of klamath
county, Oregon, one of the passengers,
was robbed Of his revolver, badge of
office and $40 in gold.
The Southern Pacific company has Of
fered reward of $4,000 for the arrest
and conviction of each of the robbers.
Wells, Fargo & Co. and the government
have standing rewards for the capture
of train robbers. Thirty men, divided
into four posses, headed by the sheriffs
of Douglas and Josephine counties, and
five detectives are searching for the
bandits. The country is wild and rug
ged and the prospects for their capture
are not good.

London, July 3.-The excellent showing
made by American manufacturers at the
boot and shoe exhibition at Cordwainer's
hall, which has just closed, has been
something OF a revelation to their fellow
craftsmen of Great Britain. The l;s+ ~

JoHNsToa'S CANDIDACY.
What the State Press Has to Say About the
 Gentleman Vrom Jefferson.
Opposes Moderation and Toleration.

Opposes Moderation and Toleration.
 The tone and temper of the Montgom- cry Whangdoodle Wednesday morning in treating it's appeal for toleration, mod eration and mercy ought to convince the Birmingham State Herald that there is
 but one manly and honest way to meet
 the issue thrust upon it, and that IS openly, boldly, aggressively Ridiculing
 the position assumed by the State Her aid the Montgomery Whangdoodle says:
 "The Birmingham advocate of harmo- ny-with the flaming silver firebrand and
 the threatening Johnston bludgeon-now
 that 1t fears MT Clarke is going to run
 for governor, admits that there is dan
 ger that what occurred in Kentucky may
 occur in Alabama Why didn't it think
 of this when the opportunity was pre-
 sented the party of nominating Governor
 Oates by exclamation? But waiving
 that we beg leave to remind it that the Kentucky disaster can readily be averted
 by avoiding the Kentucky mistake. If
 the sound money, administration-sup-
 porting majority of the party in Alabama not only make an equivalent platform, but put one of their sort on it, all will be well. To nominate Captain Johnston on any sort of platform promises too much a repetition of Kentucky's expe- rience to be riSked."
 This ought to convince the State Her aid that it's policy of federation and mod
 
 the olive branch has proved a stink weed or a hollyhock blossom. The Montgom- cry Whangdoodle, representing the intol- erant faction of the party--bosses who have always been successful, either by honest or dishonest methods, in controll- ing the party machinery-is not going to
 make any concessions, nor grant any fa- vors, and, as the Montgomery Whang- doodle says, "the sound money, admins tration-supporting majority of the party in Alabama" propose to make an une- quivocal platform and put one of their sort upon it,'' if they can. Let the issue be fairly and squarely met. Let there be no evasion or equivocation. Let the dominant faction control the convention, nominate its candidate and make its plat form. If the adminiStration-suppo ing" minority, not majority think they can win on a platform declaring for the
 English gold standard, with "one of their sort on it, let them try it. Is there even a bakers dozen intelligent and thought full democrats in the state who believe such a platform and such ticket would succeed ?-Montgomer Journal.

FLORENCE.

Mayor Andrews Announces That the Pop
 ulation Has Increased 1000 During 1895.
 Florence, Dec. 12.-(Special.)- .)-Mayor Andrews, in his annual report submitted to the city council at the close of the municipal year, estimates that the city has increased in population during the year 1895 about 1000. This estimate is believed to be very fair one. The in. crease in population is noticeable from the fact that there are few, if any, va cant dwellings, in the city. and the de mand for dwelling housesis greater thar the supply. A number of houses have been built during the past few months but there Is still scarcity and a genu- inc building boom Is expected in the spring. The increase in population is also noticeable in the city schools, which are filled to overfiowing.
 The city council has appropriated ar additional school fund for the present year of $350, which will do away witt the necessity of assessing an incidenta fee of $2.50 per pupil, which has been GUS tomary for several years.

A SHOOTING sCRAPE.
Robert VanHoose Shoots Alex Johnst
 Through the Brain.


 Robert vanHoose Shoots Alex Johnston
 Through the Brain.
 Tuskaloosa Gazette.
 MT. Robert Sp1ller, who lives on Greens boro road about six miles from town, came in yesterday, and told us of an ugly shooting affair that occurred between some negroes on his place Sunday morn ing last, which will result in the death of Alex Johnston.
 When the shooting took place the wounded man was in Robert VanHoose's house. and no one was present except Roberts immediate family, and they all claim that the shooting was accidental. From what they told MT Spiller, as re- lated to us, we get substantially this story:
 Robert went up to Alex's house Sunday morning and got him to go home with him. When they arrived at Roberts house they went in and sat down by the fire, and Alex got hold of Roberts pistol and pointed it at him in playful man. ner, and Robert told him to stop, as the thing was loaded. Alex said, You can't make me quit" Then Robert asked Alex to hand him the gun. and, as he turned 1t to Robert with the muzzle pointing to himself. Robert caught the handle of the gun and says that he accidentally pulled the trigger and it went off, strik- ing Alex in the center of the forehead and going entirely through his head and brain. carrying a part of the skull with the ball The pistol used was 4S-cali- bre and the shooting took place Sunday at o'clock in the morning, and the man was still living at o'clock Monday morning. although he will certainly die unless he is miraculously saved.
 So far as is known the men have never had any trouble, and there was no reason for the shooting, and it seems to be the result of loaded gun in careless hands and a dead man to follow. No arrests have been made. as there isn't any evil dence to justify a prosecution for mur- der or manslaughter.

BROWN ORE MINES
Of H. F. DeBardeleben Near Woodstock, Bibb County to Be Opened in the Early
 Spring.

The sbrown ore mines of H. U. DeBar- deleben and associates located near Woodstock, Bibb county. will be opened up early in the spring. Work on sinking the shafts will begin immediately after the Christmas holidays by the contract ors and they will open it as rapidly as possible.
 The ore is to be used in the new fur naces MY. DeBardeleben and his com pany intend building at Bessemer. It is of a superior quality and can be con- verted into the best grades of iron.
 Red ore Is used principally in this dis trict, but some of the furnaces use the brown when they can obtain it.
 The railroad connecting the mines with the Alabama Great Southern and Bir- mingham Mineral roads, one-half a mile in length, is now being built by Messrs. Hutton & Son, contractors. They say they will have it completed by Jan uary 1 and ready to turn over to the owners.

USE OF INTOXIcANTS DISCUSSED.
Sharp Competition in Modern Life Ccmpels
 Man to Keep His Wits

Miss Frances Willard said in a recent address that she firmly believed the use of intoxicants was decreasing year by year. As a reason for her belief she gave the use of the bicycle and the love of athletics generally, and gave as a further reason the sharp competition in modern life which compels a man to keep his wits about him. To this it may be added that the custom of social drink ing is not so prevalent as it was. Men are no less convivial. but their Sconviv- iality takes the form ofaeat1ng instead of drinking. Here Is an illustration: Col. Robert Mckee, in conversation with a couple of friends last night, remarked that he had just returned from visit to Montgomery and that he gained five pounds in flesh during the week he spent there. When he met his old friends they would say, Let's go around to Fleming $ and have something to eat" He feasted on oysters, spare ribs and cracking bread,

 by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, even after the disease has progressed so far as to induce repeated bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering cough with copious expectoration (including tubercu- lar matter), great loss of flesh and extreme cancellation and weakness.
 Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases reported to us as cured by "Golden Med ical Discovery. were genuine cases oi that dread and fatal diseasef You need not take our word for it. They have, in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best and most experienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever in mis- representing them, and who were often strongly prejudiced and advised against a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery" but who have been forced to confess that it surpasses, in curative power over this fatal malady, all other medicines with which they are acquainted. Nasty cod liver oil and its filthy "emulsions and mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to bene- fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey, and various preparations of the hypophos- phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
 The photographs of large number of those cured of consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and kindred maladies, have been skillfully reproduced in a book of I6o pages which will be mailed to you, on re. ceipt of address and six cents in stamps. You can then write those cured and learn their experience. AddressWoRLD's DIsPEN- SARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. Buffalo, NY.
