Darymcn to Meet.


 The dairymen of the state will meet tomorrow morning in the recorders s court room for the purpose of organiz- ing the Alabama Dairymen's association.
 The meeting is called in pursuance to an address issued by Messrs. Crook, Matthews, Ross, Bates, Hawes and oth- CTS sent out some time since to the va rious counties of the state calling upon dairymen in every county to organize and select delegates to the state meet ing.
 Several delegates have already reached the city and the trains tonight and to- morrow will bring in many more and by the time the meeting is called to order fully 100 delegates will be present, representing nearly every county in the state.
 The matters which will be brought be- fore the convention will be such as are of special interest to dairymen, one of them being the sale of oleomargerinc. The dairymen are desirous that if this com pound is sold that it shall be as oleomar- gerine. They do not want to be put in competition with it, sold as pure butter, and will ask that legislation be had which will compel every pound to be branded oleomargerine, butterine or whatever name the manufacturers adopt.

THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY Assumes Control of the Alabama Great Southern
 2. AND NAMES A MAJORITY
Of the Board of Directors, With MT. Samuel
 Spencer as Chairmans
THE CINCINNATI, HAMlLTo AND DAYTON
trolling Stock of the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific to Be
 Held Jointly by the Roads.

New York, May 3.-The Southern rail- way and the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad interests have settled all difficulties as to the Cincinnati ex- tension bonds and the proposals under lying them on a basis entirely satisfac- tory to both parties.
 The Southern railway has today taken control of the Alabama Great Southern Railroad company by the election of Samuel Spencer, Charles H. Coster, J. P. Morgan, Jr, Francis Lyndestetson, w. G. Oakman, A. J. Thomas and George w. Maslin as majority of the board of di- rectors, with Samuel Spencer as chair man.
 Under the terms of the settlement the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton inter- ests retire entirely from the Alabama Great Southern, the Southern railroad having acquired their entire holdings. The controlling capital stock of the Cin- cinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific company is to be owned and held equally and jointly by the Southern railroad and
 
 interests, and it is hoped a reorganiza- tion of that company or new lease of the purchase of the Cincinnati Southern can be effected and the line continued un- der neutral management to be operated independently but preferently to the in- terest of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton on the north and the Southern on the south end. This insures harmony between the parties, stops litigation and fully protects the interests of Cincinnati in the manner in which her citizens seemed to prefer.
 The Southern Railway company re- tains the ownership of the old Louisville Southern line, which insures also protec- tion to the city of Louisville.

SELM|ANS MUCH ENTHUSED Another Cotton Mill Assured for
 the Central City. CAPITAL STOCK, S1OO,OOo. A Bad Negro Defies Arrest With Dynamite Bombs to Back Him-He Was an Ex-
 Convict From Pratt Mines.

Selma, May 3.-(Special)-An enthusi- astic citizens meeting was held in the Guards armory this afternoon and it is -an-asslIed- fact that Selma is to have an- other cotton mill. The capital stock will be placed at sloo 900, and MT. Ernest Ea- mar headed the subscription with $5000.
 It will be built on the building and loan plan, payable $1 per week until the shares of $100 are all paid in.
 There is great enthusiasm among the business men over the scheme, and the plan will be resorted to by the young men instead of putting their money in building and loan associations.
 Down in the Ethridge neighborhood a day or so ago negro named Nelson broke into MT. Isthridge's store. When MT. Ethridge and another man went to arrest him they found the negro at his house, but instead of surrendering he met them with a couple of dynamite bombs and came near killing them, the dynamite tearing great holes in the ground near them. It turned out that the negro had served a term in Pratt mines and had brought the dynamite bombs back with him.

CHINA-JAPANESB ALLIANCE,
Says Japanese Minister Arasuke to France,
 Is Absurd.

Says Japanese Minister Arasuke to France,
 Is Absurd.
 Paris. May 3.-The Figaro publishes report of an interview with MT. Some Arasuke, Japanese minister to France, on the subject of the treaty of peace be- tween China and Japan. Mr.Arasuke says it is especially the desire of Japan to obtain the indemnity and commercial concessions prescribed in the treaty. The question of territory, he says, is not a matter of first importance. Japan has no wish to make continental conquests, but she must hold the keys to China, temporarily at least, otherwise China would refuse to recognize the treaty, and the war would have to be fought over again. The idea of China-Ja- panese alliance, he says, is absurd

 The grocer sends the new brand of baking powder simply because it costs him so much less and he can make more profit by selling it than he can on the Royal. The Royal is made from the very finest materials and costs much more than any other brand. which ac- counts for it's superiority, although 1t is sold to consumers at the same price.

The easy, safe and certain protection of our bread, biscuit and cake from all danger of unwholesomeness is in the use of the Royal Baking Powder only.

While it's use Is thus a safeguard against the poisonous alum powders, it is satisfactory at the same time to know that owing to it's greater strength it is more economical.

Montgomery, May 3.
 A great deal of interest has been aroused all over the country among the Knights of Pythas by the refusal of the board of control of the grand lodge of Knights of Pythias to pay the certificate of 5000 in the Endowment Rank held by Max Baum, prominent merchandise broker of this city at the time of his suicide, February s, 1894
 The widow of Baum instituted suit in the city court of Montgomery to force the payment of the certificate, and the case is now pending in the United States court, having been transferred there some months ago.
 Baum had paid all his assessments regularly since 1879, and the board even received and receipted for one assess ment after his suicide.
 Only one case of like character has ever been in the courts, and that was decided by Judge Boarman, in New Orleans, in favor of the plaintiff.
 MT. Thomas A. Essex of Little Rock, Ark a member of the board of control and also their attorney, is In Montgom- cry, and has been here for several days Investigating the case, and it is supposed that he will attempt to compromise and throw it out of the courts, as that pol icy was pursued in the similar case in the Louisiana courts
 The case is one that PythianS have long wished to have definitely settled (not for the reason that any of the order are contemplating self-destruction) and if it is not compromised the verdict Of the court will be awaited with very great interest.
