A Society Event That Will Interest Birming- ham-The Ball Team Is to Be
 Strengthened.

Montgomery, July 5.-(Special)-In the case of J. ". Carew vs. the Alabama Press, a defunet Montgomery afternoon newspaper suit for damages for breach of contract, tried in the circuit court here today, resulted in a verdict by the jury for the plaintiff.
 Major Carew was connected with the Press during it's neeting life in the capac- ity of advertising and subscription solici- tor, and held a contract for a term of months signed by the proprietors, Messrs. J. w. Henry and J. c. Pope. Carew was discharged from the employ of the paper before the time stated in his contract. and at once instituted suit to recover $400 damages for breach of contract. The case was tried today and resulted in partial victory for him.
 Soon after Carew entered suit the Press came out in an article topped wittJ flaring headlines and stated that the cause of Carews discharge was that he was entirelyinefiicient and incapa ble of attending to his duties etc.
 The major says that he will at once in- stitute libel proceedings on the face of his recent victory and push the fight to a finish.
 Lillie Walker, colored, the beloved helpmate and companion of William Walker, a porter residing on Houston street attempted to shuttle off this mor- tai coil today by the laudanum route After taking good large dose of the deadly drug, Lillie quietly informed Will liam of the fact.

It is said that the excuse for the deed was a quarrel be- a u,l,a now become reconciled and all is serene in the home of the Walkers

 Property

For the Sale of Fart of the Whisky Trust
 Property.
 Chicago, July 5.-Judge Showalter to- day signed the decree of sale which pro- vides for the auctioning off eighteen best pieces of the whisky trust property. The sale will probably take place Monday. August 5 It will be a mere formality, as there are no other bidders expected besides the reorganization company, whose offer of $9,S00,000 is made the up- set price by the terms of the order. Counsel for the reorganization company say the decree is not appealable and that even if it were Greenhut and Morris. not being parties of record, cannot come in as appellants An appeal would prob- ably not stop the sale, unless it is made under other circumstances than the court seems disposed to grant the defeated parties to the cause
 Edwin Walker, who represents Green hut. this morning said he would attempt to get an appeal. He was of the opn- ion that eveh if his client should be found to have no right of appeal, Nelson Mor- ris, as a large creditor of the company, could carry the case to higher tribunal

He Smells the Glass and Has the Joint

 DesMoines, Ia., July 5.-Mayor Hills this afternoon visited one of the most notorious saloon drug stores in the city and finding men there drinking beer had the place raided. For a long time he has been trying to get these places closed, and officers reported it was impossible. Today he met Ed Clarllson of the Regis ter on the street, Clarkson offered to show him one of the places, and they went together to A. M. Blbys store. They walked behind the prescription case and the mayor went up to a man who was drinking, took the bottle and glass from him, smelled the contents and went out again. The two went to the Register office and the mayor ordered the police to at once raid the place. It was done before anybody in it knew who the eccentric callers were. Later In the day the mayor ordered other places raided.
 The saloons, after being closed two weeks, opened again this evening" and all are in operation. They were closed under the order of the court on a decision, that the petition of consent under. which they were operating had not enough sigma lures of voters. They at once went to work to get a new petition, and the one filed today has $500 names, 4500 be- ing necessary to make 1t legal.

A FATHERS FEARFUL DEED.
HE MURDERS HIS ENTIRE FAMILY
While They Are Asleep He Turns on the Gas and Lies Down With Them
 to Die.

Chicago. July 5.-Frederick Hellman, a mason contractor 36 years old. last night murdered his wife and four chill dren by asphyxiation and died with them. The victims were: Ida Hellman. 94 years of age: Fritz Hellman, 12 years of age: Ida Hellman. Il years old; Willie Hellman. 8 years old, and Hedwig He'll man. years old
 The place of the tragedy was at the Hellman cottage. No. 60l Cornelia street. The house is small, but it was their own. and the family was supposed to be living happily together. That the murder was deliberately planned by the father of the family during the past few weeks seems beyond doubt. Ever since Hellman built his house it has been supplied with gas pipes. but there has been no connection with the gas mains. and there were no fixtures in the house. Several weeks ago he had his pipes connected and fixtures put in the family bed room only, the entire family sleeping in one small room. It seems now certain that He'll man had the gas put in for the express purpose of using it in the murder of his family. The gas was turned on after the family, excepting the husband, had gone to sleep, and none regained conscious ness. The body of Hellman showed evi- dences of g. struggle. He first shut the doors and windows, then turned on the gas and laid down to die with his family.
 There is only one explanation, and that IS that Bellman was crazy. He is said to have been fairly well provided with worldly goods and to have had no fam fly dissensions. He was naturally of a morose disposition, but no one thought he would commit suicide or murder He left note for his brother, in which he gives instructions in regard to the disposition or his property. He says that he will not be living when the note-is received. but says in it nothing of the premedi- tated death Of the rest of the ia mly.
 At noon counsel for both sides met in court. MT. Walker renewed his request that Greenhat and Lindsay be made par ties to the original case, and the court set tomorrow afternoon for hearing argu- ments on the point but as he has all ready decided against allowing them to be put in the record as defendants it is not likely he will change his opinion Not only will Greephut's attorneys ap- peal rom the decision shutting their oli- ents out from an appeal, but they will appeal on several other points decided against them by Judge Showalter. Moth ing but a supersedeas of the appellate court can stop the transfer of the prop erty now. This is rarely granted, and then upon only the most convincing evi- dence This decision appears to be case demanding such a remedy and in consequence the proceedings before the appellate court next week are likely to prove of a perfunctory character only The case is considered ended by the counsel of the reorganization committed and the sale will be advertised in the newspapers tomorrow morning.

CHANCELLOR STUCK TIT our.
The Allegation That the Tobacco Trust Is
 Injurious to Farmers.


 Trenton, N J., July 5.-In the suit of John R. and Frank W. Miller, cigarette dealers of Newark, N J., to have the business of the American Tobacco com peny declared unlawful on the ground that it destroys competition in the sale of paper cigarettes. Chancellor McGill to- day filed an opinion striking out of the case a supplemental information filed by Attorney4General Stockton, in which it is alleged the tobacco trust combinations is injurious to growers of the plant in Virginia and North Carolina. The chan cellor holds that the supplemental infor- nation goes farther than was expected when permission to file was granted. It was not contemplated, he says, that the combination against the growers would be set up further than aa it's effects upon the cigarette dealers and the public of New Jersey.
 The court of chancery of New Jersey could not be invoked to afford relief to those beyond it's jurisdiction.
 The effect of this opinion is to leave the light of Messrs Miller against the toI bacco trust where it stood whent the original bill was filed O have the trust dissolved, as corporation formed in violation of public policy to monopolize the cigarette trade

Mvsterious Suicide

Jacksonville, Fla, July 5.-A special to the Times Union from Tallahassee, Fla, says: About five years ago Elliott Todd came here from St. Louis and engaged in dairy farming. He had a place eleven miles from town. This morning he was found by a servant in his bed in an in- sensible condition, with a sixty-grain morphine bottle by his side with half the contents gone, and it is supposed that he must have taken about thirty grains He died in a little while.
 Todd was a single man, aged about 40 years. He was not financially embar- Tassed, and his friends are at loss to account for his rash act. Negroes on the place say that he acted strangely on Thursday. He had prepared for death, it is said, by writing detailed in structions as to his business affairs The body has been embalmed for shipment to St Louis.
