MIR. LAWRENCE AGREES WITH MR.. MOORE.
Wurste, as Fire Commissioner. agreed with Mr..
Moore in most OF his opinions. saying that he had
not yet been satisfied that. If consolidation were
rushed through on the plan and for the reasons
that have been current, the result would be bene-
hcal to Brooklyn. He thought consolidationists
should make haste carefully.

 Ryan is an ash cart driver in the em- 4ploy of the city He returned home yes sterday afternoon apparently sober, but s shortly afterward the neighbors heard Mrs. Ryan crying for help. The crash ing of furniture mingled with the walls of the two children of the couple. . f They stood in the hallway and saw i Mrs Ryan run out of the door and across the hall into a vacant room in the rear of the building.
 Her husband followed and soon the ineighbors heard more blows and then the woman cry out, My God, he's mur- dering mel
 | Women in the flats below, who were listening to her cries. next saw the wom- lan's form shoot by them, and an instant later there was a crash on the asphalt movement of the air shaft. The distance from the window to the pavement is 65 feet and Mrs. Ryans head was crushsd d by the fall

McCALLUM WAS RESCUED. Picked Up By the British Ship Stalwart and Now in Buenos Ayres.

New York, Sept. PA Mexican cable dispatch to the Herald from Buenos fAyres. Argentina, via Galveston, rex states that Robert McCallum, who iett this port in 19-foot sloop on June Is, to cross the Atlantic had been rescued by the British ship Stalwart.~
 He was starving and crazy when sight ed by the ship and was taken on board with his little boat.
 1 It will be remembered that McCallum started from this port expecting to reach Queenstown in forty days. When he had been out that length of time he was sighted by the Union line steamer Taor- nina 994 miles from New York, and had made about one-third of his journey. He must have been rescued shortly safterward, for the Stalwart left Batiscan, sOuebeo on July II for Buenos Ayres, and would have crossed McCallum's route about the latter part of July.
 It was belived that McCallum had been lost for no news had been heard of him since reported by the Taormina.

THIRTY-E|CHT TRUE BILLS Returned By the Dallas County ue Grand Jury. JUSTICES OF THE PEACE Called Down for Not Complying With the
 Law.
DolNGS IN THE MAYORS COURT
State Secretary Willis of the Y. M. c. A. @ Welcome Visitor-Plenty of Good
 Reading Always on Hand
 .a Personal and General.

Selma, Sept. 92.--tSpeeial)- 1.-The grand Jury completed it's labors yesterday morning, having found thirty-eight true bills. The report reads as follows
 To Hon. John Moore, Judge of the Circuit
 Dear Sir! The grand jury empaneled by you have diligently inquired into all cases that have come before them and have found bills where they thought the public good required.
 We find that great many justices of the peace have failed to comply with section 572, acts of Alabama 1S94-95, which requires them to make a report to the circuit clerk in writing ten days be- fore the meeting Of the grand jury. Their failure to comply with this law works a great hardship on prisoners committed by such justices courts, and we recom- mend that all justices who hereafter fail 10 comply with this law be dealt with as the section requires.
 We have examined the books of the different court officers and find them neatly kept and apparently correct. Bonds of all county officers were found to be good.
 The jail is neatly kept and the prison CTS say that they are well fed. We would recommend that the sewerage to the flush tanks be attended to so that a greater supply of water may be had
 We find from the report of the board of revenue that the new road law is working well. and that the roads are in better condition at this time than they have been for a number of years.
 We desire to return our thanks to So- licitor Quarles for the faithful manner in which he has discharged his duties, for the prompt serving of all papers. and to our bailiff, Colonel Gibson, for the which he discharged his duties. Respect fully submitted.

CROWDS SEEK MESSIAH" :"
SchIatter Says His Healing Power Is lncreas- ing, and He Does Not Know When
 1t Will End.

Denver, Col, Sept. 22.-The healing power of the new Mexican Messiah" is increasing. The statement is corrob- orated by Sehlatter himself and by sev- eral who have kept tab on him since his advent in this city. ,'I feel that the power is growing remarked Schatter to me, 'and do not know when it will end
 Before daylight this morning the crowd began to assemble, and the Mes siah' was awakened at o'clock by the sound of voices. Looking out of the win dow of the cottage he was greeted by Y sight of hundreds of persons who l,ood in the street and in a long row, extending round the corner of the block. So great was the rush that when Schlat- ter retired from his sef-imposed task at o'clock in the afternoon. many per sons who had obtained places in the line early in the day had been unable to feel the grasp of his hand.
 Persons were present from New Mex ico, Wyoming and Utah. and not a few who had travelled loEg distances were obliged to retire without receiving the blessing of the calm faced man who stood all day bareheaded in the open air extending aid to suffering humanity.
 The throng was in motion long before the cable cars had started. 70
 Carriages, bUggies, wagons and every imaginable kind of vehicle were util- ized. Invalids in chairs. cripples ten derly guarded by friends were in the assemblage that patiently awaited for the latter day healer to appear.
 The healer appeared at o'clock sharp and continued steadily at work until the sun was low in the west.
 It was evident that he has changed his plan of operations in several par ticulars. He gave more time to patients yesterday and it is understood that hereafter he will not attempt to treat so many different persons daily as hereto fore. In some cases yesterday he held the hands of patients for five minutes or more. The effect in a number of in stances was so great that the patient groaned aloud or wept, trembling vio- lently.
 To a majority the Messiah" is an un- solvable enigma. To some he is a fake of the most transparent class. and to others he is a messenger of God whose mission is only in it's incipiency

FIVE KILLED AT A POKER GAME.
An IrreguIarity in Opening Jackpot Led to
 the Use of Firearms.

Lexington, Ky, Sept. 22.-News reached here tonight of fight growing out of a poker game at Adams x Tro- bridges distillery, in Pulaski county, fifteen miles south of Mckinney. Lee Mckinney, who brought the intelligence. says that of the six men who partici- pated five were killed.
 The game was going on in room only 12 feet square. A dispute arose over some irregularity in the opening of a jackpot. Shooting began, and when the smoke had cleared away two brothers named Swope, stock dealers of Boyle county; w. c. Goodloe, a lawyer of Dan vile, and two other men whose names Mckinney did not know. lay dead and dying.
 Albert Cain of Mintonville is accred- tied with killing the five men, and he was the only one in the fight that es- capped alive. Cain is evading arrest, al- though officers are said to be hot on his trail.
 Including the poker players. seven men were killed in Pulaski county last night

At the Mayors Court.

Joe Sears was the first to toe the mark yesterday morning. Joe claims he was carrying a bottle of whisky to sick man at the infirmary; that he went by his home in Sledges quarter and that a number of women took the bottle from his pocket, ran from house to house and room to room with it,, and passed 1t from one to another until he was tired out and mad. Other evidence showed that he chased his wife with an ax threatening to kill her; that he grabbed Monroe Pie. cripple, in the collar and threatened to knock him in the head if he didn't tell him where his wife was hid. The evidence showed, too, that he had sampled the contents of the bottle in his charge or some other quite freely. Officer Pheian run him in. He was ably defended by MT. A. l.. Mcleod. He was taxed $10. or twenty days.
 George Robinson salivated Theodore Thomas with brick Thursday night, and Theodore is sporting the largest lip that has ever put in an appearance at mayors court. It seems that George escorted dusky maiden to church that evening and at the conclusion of the services started out the door with her
 Did you bring dat gal here?" asked Theodore Thomas. t
 "Yes. did" answered George
 Wall Ise gwine home wid her." an- swered Theodore.
 The girl stuck to George and Theodore followed along behind them. abusing both. After seeing the girl home George paid his respects to the insulter of his lady fair by hitting him in the mouth with a brick. Dr. Pitts was summoned to repair the damage. He found the boys upper lip cut through and his gums cut. The lip was hanging down all most to the chin. He sewed 1t back in place but it is possible that it may stuff off. If it does it will be an awful stuff. The case was continued until Monday.
