ALABAMA'S FIRST RIOT
After the War in Which tho State Military Was Called Ou..
 Rifles Called Out.

Just seventeen years ago yesterday the first riot in which state troops were called out occurred in this state. The occasion was disturbance brought about through a difficulty between whites and negroes at Helena, on the Louisville and Nash. vile railroad short distance south of this city.
 Hon. Rufus Cobb was then the governor of this state and the demand upon him for troops was made by the sheriff of the county, who stated that they were neces- sary for protection of life and property. The Birmingham Rifles were the ones called upon by the governor. The summon came on Sunday, St. Patrick's day, at ? twenty-seven strong, under Capt. William L. Mudd, reported at the depot in this city in one hour after the order was receved.' They boarded a south bound train at 3:30 o'clock and were soon at the scene of trouble. Fortunately they were not called upon to use force and their presence served to quell any pending or contemplated dis turpance.
 Many who answered at roll call on that memorable day in the history of the Bir-z mingham Rifles have gone up higher to answer at roll call before the great white throne, some have gone to other lands, while a very few of the band of twenty seven are yet iu Birmingham. lowing were mentioned by the man who volunteered the information: Second Lieut.. 1. R. Hochstadter, First Sergt. Ben s. Theiss, Privates Wallace and Clifton, Abbott, Charles Roberts and Hon. M. A. Porter,

AN APPEAL FOR AID.

To the Friends of the Orphans Home at Tai- Iadega-
 It is with reluctance that the home's ex- ecutive committee makes special call for assistance for it's support and maintenance at this time, but with fifty helpless or- phans committed to it's keeping, and with applications for many more, we deem it right and proper that the friends of this noble charity, who have during the more than thirty years of it's existence so gen. erously maintained and supported it, ent condition and needs, feeling satisfied that the response will be prompt and full. At this time last year the treasury of the home had sufficient funds to meet it's press- ing demands tor several months, which enabled it to successfully tide over that part of the year when but small contributions could be reason ably expected. Now our treasury is exhausted and no means at hands to furnish subsistence beyond the present month, with some charges neces. sarily incurred during the current quarter unpaid.
 There has been some delay in forwarding the proceeds of the synod's yearly ap- pointed collections, and it may be that there are still other of these offerings that have not been forwarded. We ask the friends of the home to make a special ef- fort at as early day as possible ln behalf of the home. By order of the executive committe. G. K. MILLER,
 Vice. Chairman.

COURT NOTES.

The city court jury that was out late Sat- urday night in the case of William H. Hamilton vs. Drennen & Co. failed to come to an agreement, and it was declared mis- trial.
 Hamilton was in the coal mine at Mary Lee on the 20th of June, 1894, at the time of the fire and, it is alleged, suffered great iajury by reason of suffocation produced by the great quantity of smoke.
 A few weeks subsequent to the fire Ham, iton filed suit for damages against Dren- nen & Co.,, lessees and operators of the mines.
 THE RIOTERS TO-DAY.
 Judge J. J. Banks and Solicitor Charles W. Ferguson went over to Jasper last night and today some more of the alleged Horse Creek rioters will be called for trial.
 The defendants will be represented by Judge B. NJ. Allen and MT. John T. Shu- gart of this city.
 Judge Boarman went to New Orleans Saturday and will not retarn until Wednes- day morning ,and for that reason no cases will be called in the federal court today. The grand jury will be in session.
 The city court will be the only court in session today.

GOLD MINING
And It's Future in Alabama Means Much for Birmingham-A Rich
 Deposit Found.

The gold mining interests of Alabama seem to be attracting more attention now than at any time heretofore, aud the indi- cations are that within another twelve mouths that particular line of industry will form no inconsiderable part of the de- velopment of labama's resources.
 few mouths ago some Birmingham gentlemen, in con lection with others from Cincinnati and points north, quietly began an Investigation of the gold deposits of Alabama, and Judge Horne and one or two other gentlemen of this city were sent on an inspecting tour into Tallapoosa, Randolph, CIeburne and other counties. They re- turned and submitted report of their work. This report was very favorable, in fact So much so that the gentlemen inter- ested in the gold fields determined to open a number of mines at the earliest praciica- ble date.
 1u conversation with an AGE- HERALD reporter last night Judge Horne, in re- ferring to the gold mines of Alabama, said:
 Recent discoveries have been made in the gold mining districts of Alabama that will, under the new sulphurate process of manipulating gold mining, make Alabama one of the greatest gold producers of the present age. A seam of micaceous slate with mean width of 50 feet and maxi- mum width of 200 feet was recently ois- covered. This seam carries gold bearing sugar quartz, so well known to miners of the west, with an average of between S6 and g a ton free gold on top. This is easily worked at a cost of not exceeding $2 ton by the Theiss process, which has been successfully tried In South Carolina,
 "'This seam of which l speak, U con- tinued Judge Horne, "begins in Tallapoosa county, near the Coosa river, and runs northward, passing through Hogg moun- tain, where $500, 900 of gold s visible on the surface.
 "When the development of the gold in- terests u this state begins it will open up a new field for Birmingham manufacturers. Here all or most of the machinery used in mining will be made, and that will be no small busness.''

ALOvE-SlCK COUPLE

FURNISH AMUSEMENT FOR LARGE CROWD
 AT THE UNION DEPOT.
 To the close observer 6 passenger station is place where many pleasant, pathetic, curious, queer and ludicrous sights can be witnessed, and the union passenger station of this city is no exception to the rule, and every few days one who visits there fre- quentIy gets chance to watch love- mak- ing and sickening sights by infatuated couples. Hundreds of these cases have been seen, but possibly the most ludicrous one took place yesterday afternoon about the time the station IS crowded.
 Over in one corner of the ladies' waiting room sat couple fresh from the moun- tains. They were evidently waiting for a train, and were passing the time among themselves very pleasantly. He talked love to her and she to him. They smiled and finally he, before all the people in the waiting room, whose eyes were by this time on the couple, embraced her and smacked his lips over hers. She laughed and leaned upon him for another. He gave it 10 her. By this time 3C0 people were crowded around the doors and in the wait ing room, and it was almost impossible for @ passenger to get to the ticket office. They kept up their love- making for the benefit oi those who were looking on, and he be- gan to chuckle her under the chin. She laughed, he kept up the game.
 Az this junclure some boy yelled at the top of his voice, "Nexti,' They opened their eyes and discovered the big crowd watching their maneuvers, and she fell in his lap n faint.

AN engineer has pointed out that inch of rain falling upon an area of one square mile is equivalent to nearly F ,5O0, ,00O gal Ions, weighing 145, ,2o0 900 pounds or 72, 600 tons. Assuming this water 10 have fallen from clouds about half mile, or say 5000 feet above the earth, we have for the en- ergy represented by it about P, 900 horse power. With pumping machinery work ing at the low rate of consum ption of two pounds oi coal per horse power per honr, it would take 200 gross tons of coal to raise ibe water represented by inch of rain on a square mile to the assumed height of 5000 feet. As matter of fact, rain often falls from clouds which are at much greater height than 5000 feet above the ground, so that the figures just given are quite con- servative ones.

A PHYSICIAN points out that several fal- lacies are common with regard to the weight of the human body. The man who congratulates himself on his gain of sev. eral pounds in weight over given period may have no cause for rejoicing, for be may be under a delusion. Very few per- sons, says this investigator, have any cor rect idea of their own weight. As a matter of fact the weight of the body is continu- ously changing, owing to innumerabie in- huences. On warm day after breakfast a man will lose more than third of pound per hour. Seventy per cent of the body consists of water, and i!s weight varies constantly. The inference to be drawn from the loss or gain of a pound or two may be distrusted. Fluctuations of few ounces are sign that the body is in a healthy state.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
For the Age-Herald.

For the Age-Herald.
 Will you please answer a subscriber as to the use Of tue .''hypheno in proper names? Is it not from an English custom to unite the names of two prominent families, and applied only to the uniting of the surname? Is it correct to use it to unite a baptsnaal name to a surname, as James. N Noble? Am l correct in thinking it is to preserve two family or surnames, that it is, ever made use of, as when a Miss or Mrs. Wilson should marry MT. Noble. if she wanted to preserve ner identity before marriage she would write her name Mrs. Wilson Noble, but not if his baptismal name was James, with her name, Mrs. Mary James Noble? Please tell me which is the correct solution. AN INQUIRER.
 Ans.-The hyphen is not used between Christian or baptismal name aud a sur- name, but is sometimes used 10 connect two surDameS eS-ED.

CHOIR FOLKS.

Yesterday was Sunday-a blessed day and of course everybody went to church. If not, there was some reason for their staying away. It may have been ill-health or general disinclination which kept the few away. It was a beautiful day; the church doors were all open, and the men of God in their accustomed places. The choir members were there-some of them perhaps for pay, others for praise. Under the modern day church arrangement most choirs are placed in front of the congrega- ton, so that they are seen by all who con- gregate to worship. This is well, perhaps, for choir folks being accustomed to at- tendance upon divine service are in posi- tion to set beautifullexample of etiquette, decorum or general good behavior for the enlightenment and eddcation of the peo- pie who congregale before them. Aside from their own reverence aud respect for religion, the fact that their every m ove- ment is forced upon the notice of those who sit before them may be a great incentive to their perfect behavior. Should they whis- per one to the other; should they laugh, giggle, wiggle or firt; should they so far forget themselves as to fail to bow their heads in prayer or stand before the throne of grace, as the custom of the peculiar church worship may be, they know that they would suffer the critical observation of those who are forced by position to be- hold them. Hence the good behavior of church choirs. The law of church de- corum gives neither orgauist nor singer license to worship in manner different from hat praciiced by other people; and it is well that choir people ever remain on their good behavior while in church.

WHEN the mule of the farmer which two years ago was worth $1o0 is placed on the block by the sheriff and sold for $40, it is very clearly demonstrated what the gold standard has done for the people of this coun- try who are in debt. And who is it that is clear of debt9-Jac ksonville Republicans:
 It's very bad that the poor farmer had to sell his mule, but suppose the mule had died and the farmer was In the market for another-could he not buy at 40 per cent of the price paid year ago? This may be only an optimist's view uf the matter.

PHOTOGRAPHY is now more powerful than the eye in telescopic work and the phenomena of eclipses are increasing in importance. The possible discovery of a satellite to our moon has been agitated of late, and it would be no more surprising than to find that the familiar atmosphere has an important element that escaped ob- servation until a few months ago. The coming era of larger lenses and improved photography will probably render the moon an object of remarkable interest.

THE CINCINNATI IRON MARKET.

CINCINNATI, O., March 6.-Therep iss considerable encouragement in the volume of business going, but the demand is not yet sufficient to have a noticeable effect upon prices. h both northern and south-c ern irons tue transactions noted are at the minimum figures. The best thing that can be said is that there is well recognized bottom to prices-as some irresponsible agents have found out to their cost in risk ing orders below authority given. A num- Der of such orders have been uufeeiingly turned down by the furnaces interested. We have already spoken of a number of large transactions in southern coke irons recently closed. The aggregate for two weeks is certainly not less than 30, 900 tons. booked by three compaLies, and will prob- ably run to 60,000. Besides this, the every day demand from the rank and file of foun- dries and mills is better than it has been for mont ths. But for the conservative spirit which characterizes the iron trade all the way through, it is likely that the heavy current business would De deemed war rant for putting up prices little.
 Considerable interest centers in the pros- poets of a coke strike this spring. The fear of this has led to unwonted activity in the Connellsville district. which can be ex- plained only on the theory that consumers. are stocking up. This activity keeps the labor we'll employed and tends to delay dis- content. What will follow when the stock ing up ceases, and there are more idle ovens and men, remains to be seen. Mean time, nothing short of an earthq quake can startle consumers of iron into any condi- tion of alarm about an ample supply at bed- rock prices.
