Dcmopolis, June 16.-(SpeciaL)-Th afternoon as Rev. A. G. Irons and Pro lessor Beeson were leaving the Young Mems Christian association rooms they were accosted by man who told them that he had been drinking, and asked them if they had any water up in the rooms as he wanted to take some mel icine to sober up on.
 They took him up to the room and gave him glass of water. He pulled out a vial and poured it's entire contents into the glass and swallowed it at a gulp. He then took out his pencil and wrote: "G w. Edgington Atlanta. Ga. member of the N. of K. and of Capital Lodge No. 13, K. of P"
 His action created suspicion and MT Irons asked him if he had not taken too much of the medicine. He fell into a chair, but said nothing. They were thoroughly alarmed by this time and Professor Reeson went after a doctor, stopping on the way at the drug st-re of Dr. S. D. Smith. where he shovel the vial and was told that if was poison.
 Marshall Monnier was soon on the scene and after looking into the mans eyes he declared that he was dead, which proved true.

Judge Montgomerys Successor Thought to Be
 N. B. Feagin, Esq.

Who will be the inferior criminal court judge? was the question of the hour all of Saturday and yesterday. In fact, it became the topic of general discussion immediately after the Age-Herald bulle- tin was hung out Saturday morning.
 As yet the question is unanswered, though the general public last night seemed to agree that the coveted prize had fallen into the hands of Noah B. Fea- gin, Esq.
 Governor Oates, accompanied by his wife, arrived at noon yesterday en route to Tuskaloosa, but notwithstanding the fact that it was Sunday he was imme- diately besieged by friends of the several candidates. all hobnobbing with his ex- cellency, placing the claims of those they were championing before him.
 An Age-Herald reporter however, gained an audience with the governor before the champions had their innings, and after the usual greetings, put the plain question to him, Have you named Judge Montgomery's successor?'
 The reply came as promptly and blunt ly "I have not"
 Tie governor then went on to say that had received stacks of letters, tel egrams and petitions in the interest of

INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION.
What the Seventh Statistical Report
 Shows

what the SeYenIl olauStlcdi hep0rt
 Shows.
 Washington, June 16-The seventh sta tistical report of the interstate commerce commission has just been submitted. It covers the fiscal year 1894 and completes the preliminary statistics published last year. The first part of the report covers the last four months of the Columbian exposition, during which time there was an increased passenger traffic. The sec ond part covers a period of widespread depression. The third, commencing June 30, 1894. when 192 roads, operating up- wards of 420O0 miles of line and repre- senting about one-fourth of the total railroad capitalization, were in the hands of receivers. The effect of these condi- tionS is apparent in nearly all the fig ures presented. The total railway m le- age in the United States was 17S,70S, an increase during the year of 2247 miles. The increase during the previous year was 4897
 The state of Pennsylvania shows an in crease of 3002 miles; Florida, 234; North Dakota, 195; Ohio. 1S4; Georgia, 162; Maine, 125; Missouri, 120 West Virginia, IF, and Minnesota, 116 miles.
 During the year 1879 locomotives and 0,3S6 cars were fitted up with train brakes, and 1197 locomotives and 34,1S6 cars were fitted with automatic coup lers. While the gain in the use of both of these safety appliances is in excess of the increase of equipment, "A per cent of the total equipment are still without train brakes and 72 per cent without automatic couplers. The law requires that all equipments shall be supplied with these safety appliances before Jan uary, 1898.
 The total number of railway em- ployes on June 30. 1894 was 779 608 a de- crease of 93,994, and less than in any year since 1890
 The total amount of reported railway capital of June 30, 1894 was S10,796, ,473,- SIS, an increase of s290, ,23S, ,403. The gross earnings of the railways for the year show a decrease of $147. .S9O.077, or 12 per cent; 1929 railway employees were killed, and during the year 23,422 were injured, as compared with 2727 killed and 31.729 injured In 1893.
