HAS GIVEN THEM THE SLIP.
The Chase of "RaiIroad Bill" Results in a
 Water Haul.

Brewton, Aug 3.-(Speeial Correspond nee.)-"Railroad Bill" seems to' be a thing of the past Superintendent Me- Kinney, Sheriff MeMillan, Sheriff Irwin and Judge McMillan of Pine Barren. Fla, with a posse of over 100 men with the best dogs in the country from Jemison, Spigners and Pratt mines, were on the ground and close to him for three days, but 1t now appears that he has given them the slip. Thursday they pressed him so close that he killed one of the dogs and most of the posse got sea sick" or tired and couldn't go when called for after they had waited an hour or so. till he was well lost again, they started again on the search to find him. The truth of the whole matter is. as badly as he is wanted, he usually stops in the swamps and everybody Is afraid of him. There are yet few people on the still hunt for him, and 1t is thought that the S1250 re- ward will catch him yet
 Excitement in this end of the state has been intense and west Florida and south Alabama will breath freer when it is known that his carcass is dangling in the breeze
 Thursday night and last night the swamp in which he was secreted was so well guarded that it was thought impossi- ble for him to escape, and in addition to this Superintendent Mckinney ordered all trains to run a a rapid gate and not stop between Evergreen and Brewton. as 1t was believed that Railroad was in- tending to catch train for the neighbor- hood of Bay Minette or Bluff Springs
 He has many friends among the ne groes. and it is thought they are feeding him.

When, why, where to go; Also how to get there.

Space there is for all to travel,
 Therefore is the world so wide"
 On August 23, 24, and 25 the Southern Railway company will sell tickets to Bos- ton at rate of one fare for the round trip, or $30.S0, from Birmingham, good returning until September 10, with priv ilege of extension, to be good leaving Boston not later than September 30.
 The Knights Templar conclave at Bos- ton is August 26 to 30 and the indications are that the attendance will be greater than at any previous conclave.
 Boston being the point is quite fac tor, inducing thousands to go who would probably not attend if the Knights had selected some less attractive city.
 On making this trip of course you would select the Southern, as it is the most direct line and affords you better service for the same consideration.
 The Birmingham Knights have decided to use this line and have arranged for a special train to be composed of vestibule sleepers, including Pullman latest im- proved dining car.
 This train. replete with all the latest appliances of luxurious travel, will leave on schedule of the vestibule limited and will contain the Memphis and Birming- ham commentaries and their friends. Of course, the tickets sold will be good for passage on regular trains, and those not being able to join the Knights can use one of the double daily trains run ming between Birmingham and Boston, with schedule of thirty-six hours.

Commissioner Grant Is at Outs With His
 Colleagues.
 New York, Aug. 3.-There is strife in the board of police commissioners over the trial of Captain Esl1ins precipitated by Commissioner Grants remarks during the progress of the trial yesterday in which he characterized the trial of the captain as crime and declared that the charges of neglect and incompetency made against the captain were frivolous. This afternoon Chairman Roosevelt, An dreWs and Parker, Commissioner Grant s colleagues in the board, issued state ment in which they resent being termed criminals. They declare that the charges against Eskns were well founded and at first Commissioner Grant was decidedly of the opinion that the captain should be tried.
 They say he declared the charges were not only grievous, but approved them. They say further that Commissioner Grant informed Commissioner Parker at one stage of the trial that Eskins had sought his (Grant's) pardon on the ground that he QEskins) was republi- can, a Methodist and a soldier. They also aver that Grant stated to all three of them on three separate occasions that he would vote to dismiss Eskins without reading the testimony. as it was too voluminous to read.
 After reading this statement Commits sioner Grant stated he regretted very much that his colleagues should feel that he intended to reflect on them in any Way.
 He then admitted that he had said that he would vote for Eskins dismissal, but he intended it as a joke. He did not re- call that Eskins had appealed to him on the ground that he was a republican, a Methodist and soldier. He declared, however that all three things were, in his estimation, to Eskins honor. In con- clusion MT. Grant declared he had the highest reSDect for his collea glles

It, would be well for those politicians who are trying to convince the people that congress can by legislation fix the proportion between the values of gold and silver to go back to the times of Thomas Jefferson, the great democrat, and read what he says upon this sub feet. He did not hold as they hold now although they call themselves Jefferso- nian democrats, for he held that "the proportion between the values of gold and silver is mercantile problem alto gether' This problem, according to Jeffer son, it not a political one-not one poll tician in congress can arbitrarily fix by an act of legislation. Yet this is what our free silver friends want to do when they insist upon fixing a ratio of 16 to 1 by law Jefferson held this could not be done.- Nashville American.

Hawaiian Sugar Planters Organize to Fight
 the American Trust.
 San Francisco, Aug 3.-The Hawaiian sugar planters have undertaken to form a combination, which has for it's object the breaking down of the American sugar trust and the establishing of a free mar ket for sugar. Nearly $1,000.000 has been planters and the Spreckels brothers of this city have been asked to join the com bne At first it was thought that the local sugar kings would join but they have since refused to do so
 Hon. P. c. Jones, a prominent Amer- cansand Hawaiian planter, is at the head of the movement, I believe" said one of the -Spreckels firm today, but I cannot just what is the object of the com bnation. Jones is a hard worker, and as he has money and friends he will put his scheme to test.
 The contract of the big planters with the American sugar trust, it is learned, expires in 1S97 The planters do not be- leve that they are getting the benefit of the high prices charged for sugar, and they desire before entering into an agree ment to place themselves in such a posi- tion as to be able to be independent of the sugar kings. When officers have been selected to manage the affairs of the planters trust the concern will work upon a basis of 100000 tons of sugar and will levy an assessment of s1 per ton for the crop of 1894 and $2 per ton for 1895. 1896 and 1897, placing an available operating fund of $700000 in the planters f,.aa
