Another Mysterious Murder.

Two negroes walking down the Louis ville and Nashville track, just below Greenville, discovered the dead body of a colored laborer, Iverson Craig, of Greenville lying inside the roadbed. It was supposed that train had struck and killed him. and they. fepustezf Closer Investigation, however, revealed the fact that knife had been stuck in the man neck, just below the left ear The blade had penetrated about inches. It was evidently a case of murder. Craig was on his way home from Boiling, few miles down the road when he was as saulted. He was carrying home some meat. bucket of lard and sack of sugar, which articles of provisions were found beside his body. It is believed that he had no money on his person. as he had the goods charged by the merchant from whom he bought them. The crime is be- ing examined into. This is the second mysterious murder in a month along the line of the Louisville and Nashville road, within a short distance of Montgomery.

A FIGHT TO THE FINISH.
Alabama River Steamers Cut Freight Rates Master Mechanic Stone of the Mobile
 and Birmingham Resigns.

Selma Sept. 1O-(SpeciaL) )-Several weeks ago a new steamboat, the Josie W, was put on the Alabama river. Her owners declared her a Selma boat to be run in the interest of Selma's river trade. Today the steamers Nettie Quill, Alto Carrier and Tinsie Moore reduced the rates to and from all landings to the following figures: Barrel freight, 10 cents per barrel; small packages, 10 cents; cot ton, 25 cents per bale. The Josie w. has good backing. She will meet the cut, and it will be fight to finish.
 w. A. Stone, master mechanic of the Mobile and Birmingham railway, has re- signed He will still remain with the Southern. The resignation was neces- sitated by the building of new shops in Mobile.
 Superintendent Clarke is here today and says the new shops will be ready for business in sixty days. The force in the Southern's shops where the Mobile and Birmingham work has been done will not be reduced.

 gomery-Persona Notes.

Montgomery, Sept. 10.-(Special)- J. Montgomerys distinguished mayor Hon. J. H. Cilsby, came very near happening to very serious accident about noon today. He was driving along Commerce street, in front of the Exchange hotel, when the buggy was struck by an electric car. The buggy wheel was crushed and the mayor was thrown violently to the ground, sustaining injuries, the extent of which are not at this time apparent. The mayor was assisted into a carriage by some friends and was driven home. Unless there are some internal injuries a few bruises will constitute the extent of his mishap.

science, require the company to expend the money necessary to do the work. The Mobile and Girard Railroad com pany is an insolvent corporation, and it's properties are in the hands of a receiver, appointed by the United States circuit court at Montgomery. The railroad It. self is in bad condition between Union Springs and Troy. The road bed is not in as good strength as it ought to be, and part of the track is laid with old iron rails badly laminated and mashed down in places and of different lengths and weight, making it necessary to move trains over it at a slow rate of speed. We have heretofore declined to recommend the expenditure of money in the erection of depot houses and in the improvement and enlargement or those already erected on the line of this rall- road, holding that it was the highest duty of the managers of this property to use every available dollar to be had in making the road bed and track sate for the people to traved over.
 Entertaining the views here expressed, and considering fully the local condl- tion at Girard. we feel impelled under sense of duty to ourselves, as well as 10 the people who must travel over the Mobile and Girard railroad to decline again to recommend the expenditure oi any moneys whatever in depot buildings until a strong and safe road bed ana track is secured over Whlcn the peopie can travel with no apparent danger 10 life and limb, and accordingly it is so or dered.
 Done at the office of the railroad com mission of the state of Alabama, in the city of Montgomery, on this, the 9th day of September, 1895.

Condition of Grain Crops.

Washington, Sept 10.-The September report of the Statistican of the depart ment of agriculture shows a decline in the condition of corn to 964 from 1925 in the month of August, being railing oH of 6.1 points.
 The prospects of the corn crop have suffered from drouth during the month of August in the surplus producing states or Ohio Indiana Illinois, Iowa and in portion of Nebraska. Reports from In- diana, Iowa and Ohio indicate that, though there have been rains during the latter part of the month, they have been generally too late to be of any great benefit. Drouth has also injured the crop in the eastern states, New York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Mary land.
 Much more encouraging reports come from the south, which indicate that in that section the crop will be larger than ever before produced. Too much rain is noted in certain sections of South Car oHna, Alabama and Mississippi and drouth seems to have unfavorably affect ed corn localities in Texas. Reports. however, from this section are generally favorable.
 The average in the principal states are: Kentusky, 106; Ohio, S3; Michigan, S5: Indiana, S6; Illinois, 97; Iowa, 96; Mis- souri, Ill; Kansas, s6.
 The general condition of wheat, con- sidering both winter and spring varie- ties, when harvested was 75.4, against S37 last year and "A in 1893.
 The reported conditions for the princi- pal wheat states are as follows Ohio 64; Michigan, 70; Indiana, 53; Illinois, 59; Wisconsin, S5; Minnesota, 107 Missouri. 75; Kansas. 40; Nebraska, "A; North Da- kota, 105; South Dakota. "A: California, 75; Oregon, 93; Washington. 79.
 The condition of oats when harvested was S6; rye, S3.7; barley, S7.6; buckwheat, 875; potatoes, 908.

Last Fri- day Father Welbors went to see Gov ernor O'Ferrall and begged him to grant the condemned man a respite, as he was confident that the new trial to be granted to the woman would bring facts to light which would make 1t clear that Maraljle. had only been the unwilling tool at the hands of the real perpetrators of the crime.

the prediction that they will not"
The prediction was correct; the

said to the New Era's discredit that
while the people stood true to their
interests the New Era faltered and
fell. True, the words above spoken
were concerning the printing for
this year, but the contract for last
year was even more fragrant than
this one and the wrath Of the New
Era at Commissioner Faurot for
making the deal Of 1894, shows that
its editor realized this fact.
1t may be that the "Mr. Hyde" Of
the New Era cannot see any extrav.
agance in the conduct Of county af-
fairs last year-not even in the
county printing-but the "Dr.
Jekyl" who was in control of the

that Of "Mr. Hyde"

GREAT BRITAIN INVESTIGATING.


1ue OF bhioF W - 5PAh-
ish Sentry Confirmed.
BALTIMoRR, March ss.-At2 O'Clock on
the morning Of March 10 Spanish sentry
murderously shot and killed seaman OF
the British steamship Laurestina and
badly wounded Cuban negro at st. Jago,
Cuba. The British government is inves-
tigating tho matter, and complications be-
tween Great Britain and Spain will prob
ably result. The Laurestina arrived at
this port yesterday afternoon from st.
Jago and her officers denounce the shoot
ing rs murder. They stated to an Asso-
ciated Press represen tative that the sea
man was John Lowe, aged IS years, u resi-
dent of Leeds, who had shipped Mt Cardiff,
Wales.
On the night of March IS the crew went
ashore for stroll, and walked up from
where the vessel was lying to the town Of
st. Jago, short distance away. The
boatswain, Lowe, and another seaman
were in one party, and after n walk about
the town started to return to the ship.
When nearly there Lowe determined to
return to the town. and started back in
company with Cuban negro. En- route
they had to pass Cuban fort garrisoned
by Spanish troops. Suddenly sentinel
sprang out Of the darkness ms they neared
the fort and in Spanish commanded them
to halt. Lowe did not understand tho
command, and started to hurry away.
The next instant the sentinel raised his
musket and fired. Lowe dropped to his
knees and rolled over a corpse. The negro
then started to run, when he too was shot
and MORALLY wounded.
The dead man and the wounded negro
were carried inside the fort At daybreak
Captain Gavin, of the Laurcstina, went to
the fort and demanded the body of the
man. This demand was refused, and he
has made "a formal complaint to the Brit
ish government. An investigation is to
be made. The officers Of the steamer state
that when she left Cuba, March 20, the
revolution was progressing quietly.
