The wind rose a little, and the riffs in
the clouds began to grow broader as Iris
gained the high road.
For a while, the glilnmer of the misty
moonlight lit the way before her. AS
well rs she could guess, she had passed
over more than half of the distance be-
tween the town and the milestone before
the sky darkened ag"in. Objects by the
wayside grew shade and dim. A few
drops Of rain began 20 fall. Tho mile
stone, as she ~knew-thanks to the discov-
cry of it made by daylight-was on tho
right-hand side of the road. Blu the dull
gray color Of the stone was not easy to see
In the dark.
A doubt troubled her whether she might
not have p ssed the milestone. She stop
ped and looked at the sky.
The threatening of rain had passed away;
signs showed themselves which seemed to
promise another break in the clouds. She
waited. Low and faint, the sinking moon

but the road. She looked buck-nnd dis.

A rough stone wall protected the land

the milestone there was u gap in this

these discoveries, the rain began to fall
again; the clouds gathered once more; the
moonlight vanished.
At the same moment an obstacle pre-.

thus far failed to foresee.

w. A. JONES MISSING.
He Has Money in the Bank and the Govern ernment Owes Him Something-A
 Mystery

News comes from Tuskaloosa that W. A. Jones, a civil engineer, is missing, and no one knows what has become of him. Yesterday MT. w. P. G. Harding received the following letter with reference to his disappearance:
 Tuskaloosa, Dec. ?. Nothing has been heard of Mir Jones, who disappeared last Tuesday. l believe he had funds in the Berney bank. I wish you would let me know the amount CW. A. Jones). He had about $100 here in the First National and about $100 due him on pay roll l wish to write to his friends and give such information about his af- fairs as l can get up. Yours affection ately, H. HARDING
 From the best information to be ob- tained here he-waS a surveyor, and had been engaged with a surveying party on the upper Warrior from July to October. During the month of October he was en- gagged at the government building mak- ing a map of the survey. He is about 35 years old, sober and steady. As will be seen by the letter, he had money in the bank at Tuskaloosa, and was also due something for work.
 He left his room last Tuesday in casual way, and has not been heard of since. His clothing and books remain in his room just as he left them.
 It is feared he has been foully dealt with.

A MINISTER SHOT
While Trying to Stop Difficulty Between His
 Son and Another Man.

Son and Another Man.
 Montevallo, Dec. 2.-(Special.)-Quite a serious difficulty took place this morn ing on the Scales place, about three miles east of here, as a result of which Rev. N. T. Lucas, a Baptist minister and farmer, will probably lose his life. IL seems that a piece of land belonging to William Scales was sold at sheriff's sale some time since and bought in by George Kroell a creditor of Scales. Kroell rent ed the land to Lucas, who put lot of hands on it. with his son in charge, to SOW it down in oats. While they were at work this morning a crowd consisting of P. o. West, William Scales, Jim Wiggins. Charles w. Cary, Charles Ambrose, c. c. Gentry and Kirk and Jim Sessions, appeared on the scene, and with drawn pistols and threats of violence drove them from the field. N. T. Lucas was not present at this time, but went to the field after dinner, when difficulty arose between Ed Lucas, his son, and Pleas West West came up with a pistol in each hand, and on discussing the diff culty in the morning leveled his pistol at Ed Lucas and fired. Young Lucas picked up a rail and advanced on West, who again fired and continued to fire until his pistols were emptied. N. T. Lucas ran in to try and stop the difficulty, when William Scales shot him in the back with a double -barrelled shotgun. Lucas is thought to be fatally wounded.
 Mr. Lucas is well known throughout the county. and is a hard-working, hon est man.

THE RACES.
New Orleans Results

New Orleans, Dec. 2.-The cold wave that struck town did not affect the at tendance at the fair grounds, but seemed to have chilled the faverites, as not a sim gle one of them captured a purse. Cave Spring was good thing in the handi- cap, and all the books were badly hit on the race, some of the lucky betters getting as good as 25 and 30 to 1. The fifteen starters in the last race cut up so that 1t was nearly dark before they were dispatched to good start, but the favorite, Major Mclaughlin, was never prominent.
 A number of bookmakers, horsemen and jockeys arrived from Lexington to- day.

SCHUBERT QUARTETTE,
Assisted by Misses Hughes and Reade, Seals,
 Hall, December 5.

Ildllj DCbCllbCi 0t
 At Seals hall next Thursday evening, December B. the Schubert mae quartette of Chicago. H., assisted by Miss Read, a reader of rare merit and Miss Hughes, a phenomenal harpist, will appear before the taste and culture of Birmingham in a select melange of vocal, elocution and Instrumental specialties. The quartette has a national reputation. Of them the Louisville Courier-JournaI says:
 "A fine concert was given last evening by the Schubert male quartette. The numbers were given without any instru- mental accompaniment and the effect was positive artistic revelation. The programme was popular one, but con- tained several numbers that fully tested the artistic powers of the singers"
 Of Miss Hughes the following is suffi- cient high commentators:
 Chicago. June 21, 1894. My Dear MT. lott: Miss Grace M Read, the young lady the quartette have chosen as their recitationist for this sea- son, is a pleasing. gifted and intelligent young artist. I am quite sure she will be a source of great pleasure. to your many patrons and friends throughout the country, and a credit to herself and her teachers. Yours sincerely,
 R. L. CUMNOCK. Speaking of Miss Hughes the Chicago Evening World succinctly states: Last Tuesday evening Miss Maud Hughes gave a brilliant harp concert. It was one of the most notable harp perform ances ever given in the west"
 In word, the attraction is first-class and entertaining.
 At Seals hall next Tuesday evening. The price of tickets will be 50 cents.

The Whites Are After the Two Negro As-
 sailants-Negroes Resist.
 Fayetteville, Tenn. Dec. 2.--News reached here today that another felonious act had been committed on Stewards creek, in the southern portion of this county. The 14-year-old daughter of William Walker this morning started by way of the public highway to her grandfather's, about one mile distant. When about half way to her destination and in a somewhat secluded spot she wa assaulted by two burly negroes and rendered unconscious. The little girl was found by some passers-by, who gave the alarm which spread like wild fire, and a short time large posse of citizens and officers with bloodhounds began securing the country in quest of the scounddrels. It is safe to predict that if apprehended they will swiftly follow the route of the road followed by Robertson and McGaha.
 pr. Stewart was called in to attend the young lady and on examination he dis covered she had three ribs broken and was otherwise terribly torn and lacerat- ed She says she can identify the ne- groes. The whole county is armed to the teeth. Crowds of negroes are re- ported to be assembling at different points and the people are greatly stirred up over the situation. The opinion is freely expressed that if these things con tinue there will be war of extermina- ton.
