ARMENIAN REFuCEEs.

utnly.
ARMENIAN REFUGEES.
The Armenian Committee have imported
three refugees from the alleged massacres
III Armenia, and these WORTHLESS were re-
ceived by Mr. Gladstone to-day.
The Globes correspondent In Constanti-
nople asserts that most OF the stories OF
the Armenian horrors have been invent
ed by Interested persons. and are n part OF
the propaganda Of an organized political
campaign against the Porte. The Speak
ers Constantinople representative. who
claims 10 speak on authority. admits that
the Armenlans I'm Sassoun rebelled In 1899.
and fought n successful battle with the
kurds, OF whom they killed more than
two hundred. This is mentioned as show
ing the great expense or the expedition
OF the Kurds against the Armenians In
1894.
The same correspondent attempts 10 vi
tlate the effect OF the coming report
or the Armenian commission OF inquiry
by asserting that n mass OF false testi-
mony had been furnished, including that
OF three priests. who were paid large sums
for their evidence. and that other witt
nesses have been hired In large numbers
TO swear to a long list OF atrocities COM
mitted by Armenlans upon Turks in
Aioosh ana other places near by.

Gated In the Cleveland-street scandal. but

The revelations, however. show ramifca-
tons OF a peculiar type OF vice almost
past belief. IL has transpired that Wides
friend. Taylor, is the son OF a London
merchant He inherited an income OF
$500 a year. but dissIpated his fortune
IN pro1gacy.
Mr.. Robert Sheerard. an Anglo-Ameri-
can journalist. instituted legal proceedings
against the British Consul In Paris on
the ground that the Consul publicly al
legged that he (Sheerard) was an associate
OF WldGs, and was guilty OF crimes
similar to those with which Wilde is
charged.

HUNTSVILLE.
Herbert Speaks Friday Night-Death of MT
 Thomas J. Martin.

Huntsville, Oct. 9.-(Special Core spondence.) .)-Hon. Hilary A.. Herbert, secretary of the navy, will address the citizens and public generally at the opera house in this city on next Friday in ad- vocacy of the admins tration's financial policy. A large gathering of the people 1t is hoped and believed will be present and hear the distinguished Alabamian. very large majority of the people of this county hold opposite views from the secretary on this subject, believing that silver should be coined without limit at the ratio of 16 to 1, with all the mintage rights now enjoyed by gold. Still they are fair and just people and will come out, if for no other purpose. to show their respect to a distinguished son of this great state. It Is possible that the Hon. Jesse Stallings will be here on that day, and if so, he will address the public in answer to the Hon. MT. Herbert.
 MT. Thomas J. Martin. a prominent merchant of this city, and one of the best citizens of this county. died in Nashville Monday from the effects of a surgical operation performed on him about ten days ago for the purpose of extracting a ball MT. Martin received about five years ago in his left side from the pistol of a negro burglar, who was attempting to rob the store of Martin & Crocker at Co., lightly, this county, where MT. Martin was then doing business. He moved here about two years ago to take charge of a stock of goods as the assignee of Mitchell & Harris and has continued in business here since. MT. Martins remains were brought here yesterday from Nashville and taken out to. his old home and will be buried today MT. Martin was a brother of ex-Attorney- General w. L. Martin of Montgomery. but formerly of Scottsboro
 Hon. Jess Stallings has accepted an invitation to come to Huntsville and will be here Friday. Silver men will ask di- vision of time with Colonel Herbert If he does not accept Colonel Stallings will speak at night. Next day Saturday, he will organizes a bimetallic league at ScottSbOro

JASPER.

 ANovel and Interesting Damage Suit-Con-
 siderable Sickness.
 |s \ Jasper, Oct. 10.-(Special Correspond ence.)-The city of Jasper has an ordi- nance which makes it unlawful for any horse, mule, jack or jenny to run at large upon the streets, avenues, parks and boulevards of said city, and the vio- lation of this ordinance by MT. J. M. Kitchens Is the immediate cause of very interesting damage suit now pend ing in the court of Judge w. H. Duffee. On August last MT. J. H. Elliott. who owns a very fine mare, was driving on the streets, followed by his celebrated Bailey Peyton colt. when MT. Kitchens horse began to chase the colt and kept 1t up to such an extent that the mare be- came frightened and ran away causing serious injury for which Mir. Elliott has asked the court to give him damages.
 After several attempts the case came to trial on yesterday, but has not yet been finished and no matter what the verdict is the case will go up higher, for both parties stand ready to make an ap- peal bond.
 Mr. T. l.. Sowell represents the plaint- iff and Coleman & Bankhead the de- fense. The case promises to become of more than local interest.
 There is more sickness in Jasper now than for long time past. However, no one is seriously i'll now. Cotton is now beginning to move with us, and our mer- chants are doing a good business. As is we'll known to persons familiar with our county our crop is thirty days later always than in the valleys. Our noun tans are great for coal, but little be- low the average on cotton. The coal mines throughout our district are all dn- ing nicely, with the exception of small ''lock-out" at Gamble, which will be set tied within a few days.
 MT L. P. Hebard. agent for the B.. s. o. has hppn PhannPd to the Snef field office much to the regret of our en- tire business community. Heb" is good railroad man, and a popular and de- serving fellow.
