A TEST CASE.
City Poll Tax Collector Harris Arrested on the Issuing of Garnishment for an
 Amount Under S5.

City Poll Tax Collector P. H. Harris was arrested yesterday afternoon on a warrant charging him with violating the garnishment law.
 The warrant was issued out of the office of the inferior court clerk on com plaint of Detective F. G. Hewlett The specific charge is that MT. Harris had a garnishment for less than $5 issued contrary to the law.
 Police Officer Walker served the war rant on MT. Harris, and the latter gave bond in the sum of $100 for his appearance in the inferior court this morning.
 This warrant was sworn out for the purpose of testing the legality of gar nshments for poll tax, which amounts to less than $5. By special act of the legislature adopted at the session of 1S92-93 and amended at the last session no garnishment for less than S5 can be issued Poll tax is $1.50 year.
 The Age Herald of Thursday and Fri day of last week contained a full ac- count of the charge brought in the city council by Alderman McCartin against Mr Harris, in which it was claimed that 23S Louisville and Nashville employes had been garnisheed for their poll tax.

MACON AND BIRMINGHAM.
MORE TALK ABOUT ITS EXTENSION
It Is Rumored That the United States Car Company Will Purchase and Bring
 It Here.

Talk of an extension of the Macon and Birmingham railroad to Birming- ham is again indulged in by some people, and this time there seems to be some foundation for the talk.
 The Macon and Birmingham is to be sold by the receiver at an early date, and among the probable purchasers are the United States Car company of Anniston and Decatur. This company is the largest creditor of the railroad company and General Manager Maris of the car com pany is authority for the statement that his company will bid on the road.
 Mir. Maris is also authority for the statement that the road will be extended from LaGrange to Birmingham if the car company becomes the purchasers, he having given an interview to that effect to a reporter in Macon two days ago.
 MT. Maris came to Birmingham last night, but was not very communicative on the subject. An Anniston gentleman who came in on the same train with him stated to an Age-Herald reporter that Mr Maris had told him the United States Car company would purchase the Macon and Birmingham road and extend 1t to Birmingham. The reporter was also in- formed that steps were being taken to- ward starting up the immense car works at Anniston and New Decatur. The works will be in operation within six NSShS, Sdiu liilS dIlu VIII pS run to their full capacity.
 The two plants of the United States Car company at Annston and New Deca- tur are among the largest of their kind in the south, the one at Anniston employ ing 1900 hand and the one at New Deca- tur 1000 when run on full time, and the two turn out between thirty-five and for ty cars a day. The plant at Anniston was built in 1888 and 1889 and operated until December, 1890, when 1t went into the hands of a receiver. The works at New Decatur were removed from Dr. bana, O., in 1889 and operated until De- cember, 1S90 Last year the United States Car company was organized and purchased at receivers sale the Annis- ton and New Decatur shops and the shops at Urbana, O., and Hegewisch, H. The latter are now in operation.
 Mr. MaFis succeeded G. w. Ristine as general manager about two months ago and since taking charge of the office has set about to start up the two Alabama plants.

BROKE UP IN A ROW.
DisgracefuI Conduct of Drunken RoWdes Pre-
 vents the Hardin-Brady Contest.

Lexington, Ky, Aug. 30.-The sixth joint debate between the republican and democratic candidates for governor of Kentucky, Col. William O. Bradley and P Watt Hardin, which was to have taken place at the Henry County Fair grounds, near Eminence, this afternoon broke up in row after citizen had been killed by lightning.
 Although rain fell during the entire morning 4000 people assembled to hear the debate, among them being about 800 populists. These latter were addressed by Professor Rock this morning in front of the court house.
 About an hour before the speaking was to begin at the fair grounds, J. w. Leap of Emnence who had gone out to hear the candidates was struck by lightning and died instantly. This caused great excitement, and superstitious people shook their heads and said the meeting would come to no good end.
 County Attorney Cuatan introduced Colonel Bradley, who was to make the first speech. When the colonel advanced the front of the platform a large number of drunken men, who had gathered close around the speakers stand, began to hoot and jeer in such manner as to drown Colonel Bradley's voice.
 w. F. Thorne, democratic candidate
 
 stepped forward and tried to quell the disturbance saying 1t had been arranged that the colonel shoudl make the open ing speech. His pleadings had no effect for when Colonel Bradley assayed to speak again he was hooted down quicker than before MT Thorne again asked the rowdies to be quiet, and for the third time Colonel Bradley tried to speak, but his first sentence was never heard
 State Auditor Norman then tried to quiet the unruly gathering, but he had no better success.
 He then left the platform and the crowd called for General Hardin. That gentle man came forward and in tones that do- mated that he was fully as angry as Col- onel Bradley told them that under no. consideration would he make them a, speech after the way they had treated. his opponent, and he hoped he would never be called upon again to witness. such disgraceful scene. The meetings then adjourned.
