Delightful Summer Trip to the East xr

On account of the Triennial Conclavt of Knights Templars at Boston, Mass, August 26 to 30 various railroad coml panies have generously offered the Knights Templar and the public an ex, ceedingly low rate of one fare for the round trip. The straight one fare round trip rate requires that passengers shall ga and return over the same route, while by the payment of a small difference va riable route may be obtained That is, i, going one way and returning another. A great many very desirable side trips may be taken advantage of at a very small cost.
 This is undoubtedly the best opportuni- ty eyer offered to the people of the south to visit all points of interest in the north and east at nominal cost Among the most interesting places that can be visit ed are Niagara Falls, Thousand Ises Rapids of the St. Lawrence river, White mountains, Chautauqua Saratoga and other famous watering places of the east
 It has been decided to put tickets on sale in Birmingham August IS, continu- ing until August 25. Tickets will be of sufficient duration to allow all arties time enough to visit the places mentioned
 MT. Joe Frank of this city has made arrangements with the Louisville ant Nashville railroad and its connecting lines to carry special party on this ocs casion, and he will be glad to answer aR questions pertaining to rate, sleeping car accommodations, etc.
 At this season of the year, trip via Cincinnati is particularly interesting, oW- ing to the climate and the diversity of the country traversed.
 For any other information call on MT. Frank at his office. or call on or wrta R. F. Beasly, passenger agent Louisville and Nashville railroad.

THE DEAD JURIST.
He Passed Away at His Home, Surrounded by His FamiIy-Assaed by Complca-
 tion of Diseases.

Nashville, Aug S.-Howell Edmunds Jackson, associate justice of the supreme court of the United States, died at 2 p. m. at his residence at West Meade, six miles from this city, aged 63 years.
 Judge Jackson had been in failing health for several years, but it has been only in the last nine months that the progress of the disease began to cause his family and friends uneasiness. Last year he went on lengthy trip to the far west in search of health. Later he went to Thomasville, Ga. where it was hoped the mild and bracing climate would re- store his vigorous constitution. The trip did him little good, and after a time he was brought home. At his old home, sur rounded by scenes he loved so we'll, Judge Jackson seemed to improve steadily un- til he went to Washington to sit in the second hearing of the income tax case He stood that trying trip fairly well, but after his return home appeared to lose strength rapidly.
 He was afflicted with a complication of diseases which it was impossible to fight off. Nevertheless Judge Jackson did not take to his bed until eight days ago. Since that time his family and friends realized that the end was near, and his death to- day was not unexpected.
 Judge Jackson was twice married, the nrSt tune 10 Miss SOph1a Malloy, daugn- ter of David B. Maloy, a banker of Mem phs, who died in 1873. To this union were born four children, as follows Henry, Mary, William H. and Howell Jackson. Henry Jackson is at present soliciting freight agent of the Southern railroad, with headquarters at Atlanta i; w. H. Jackson is district attorney of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad at Gin cinnati; Howell Jackson is manager of the Jackson cotton mills at Jackson Tenn.
 In 1876 Judge Jackson married Miss Mary E. Harding daughter of the late General Harding. Of this union are three children: Misses Elizabeth and Louise Jackson and Harding A. Jackson.
 With the exception of Miss Elizabeth Jackson and William H. Jackson, who are in Europe, the children were at the bedside when the distinguished sufferer passed away
 The news of Judge Jackson's death caused general sorrow in the city, where he was we'll known and admired.
 The arrangements for the funeral have not been fully completed, but it is known that it will take place next Sunday after

 At the time the vessel struck heavy southwest gale prevailed. The ship con- tinued on her way, but before many min utes had elapsed it was found that she had a hole in her bottom and was mak- ing water rapidly. She began to settle down and took on list to Starboard. The fires under her boilers were soon eX- tinguished and the vessel was then help less She preached to and the sea swept over her fore and aft. Every effort made to lower the boats was baffled by the sea, which swept them in board after they had been swung out on the davitts The bort life boat was washed from the da- vitts and lost. During an attempt to lower the starboard cutter tremen- dous sea broke aboard the steamer, car ried away the cutter and swept from the bridge the captain and chief and sec ond officers and Captain Hawkes.. A few minutes later the starboard life boat was lowered and it picked up Captain Hawkes., who was clinging to some float ing wreckage. Only three other Euro peans were rescued. These were Second Mate Lanfear Dr. Copeman and pas senger named Crane, belonging to Mel bourne.

SITUATION AT AUGSBURG.
Miners Held a Meeting Last Night-Impos
 sible to Learn the Result.


 A meeting of the miners at Blossbure was held last night to discuss the ques- tion of whether they would strike. As there is no telephone connection be- tween the city and Blossburg, nor tele- graphic connection at night, it was im- possible to ascertain what action they took.
 If was not thought, however, that they would go uot on a strike. 1t is understood that Superintendent Tutwiler had sig nified his willingness to accede to any reasonville demands the miners might make of him. It was also understood that the sentiment among a great number of the miners was against striking.
 Nothing new has developed in the strike at Brookside Brazil and Cardiff. except that the company reported more men at work at those places yesterday than on any day since the strike began last Mon daV

Harlem Opens.

Chicago, Aug. S.-Today was Harlem s first attempt at racing since the civic federation forced the tracks to close. The management announced that there would be no book making or pooling. In spite of this pleasing fiction fifty books were run in the betting ring and did a good business. Large placards conveying the informa tion that all persons attempt ing to place a bet would be elected from the track did not Tighten any of the bet ters among the 600 spectators. If the man was known the nod was sufficient otherwise cash was required with the explanation that the money had to be telegraphed out of town.
 This was not done in a single instance. The racing itself was fair. the third event being so hotly contested that blanket would have covered the first three horses from post to finish.
