A DARK HOLE.

Tallow Candles Now Used to Light
the City Jail.
A few tallow dips stuck on the window
sills and other convenient places give all
the light they have had at the police sta
ton for the week past. There are gas
fixtures throughout, but no gas to burn.
Surgical operations in the Receiving
Hospital are performed while an officer
holds candle for the surgeon. The place
is a dungeon in every sense OF the word.
a gas meter could be placed there on an
hours notice, but for some reason the
City Trustees will not order it.
Some day tank OF gasoline may ar
rive from the East and gasoline gas again
light up the gloomy place, and the police
are living in hope.

dict that verdict was concluded with the sentence: We do think that the shots were fired carelessly and indifferently.' I believed that the wording was suffi- cient to carry the case to the grand jury, otherwise I should not have signed it."
 After Coroner Hammett and Assistant Attorney Jeffords came into the jury room MT. Ross Perry, cousel for the de- fendant, entered in company with Miss Flagler, and then the crowd came crowd ing in. MT. Perry heard what was said, and he remarked to Coroner Hammett that something should be added to the verdict Mr. Perry then reached over and picking up the paper on which the verdict was written and already signed by all the jurors, handed it to MT. Ham melt and suggested that these words be added, and from the evidence we cannot hold the prisoner MT. Hammett then wrote these words, before the signatures, and turning to the jury said: Is this satisfactory Four of the jurors nodded in the affirmative, but myself and one other member of the jury remained si- lent and gave no indication of our opin- ion. sf
 "I was when on the jury, and still am firmly of the belief that Miss Flagler should be brought before the grand jury and that that body should consider the evidence and decide whether Miss Flag Ter should be prosecuted.
 'I wish to say further that Coroner Hammett assured me that all the facts connected with the case would be brought to the grand jury. My inten- tion in holding out was, and still is, to disagree with any verdict that would set Miss Flagler free without the juris- diction of the grand jury"

FATHER AND SON
Killed by the Bullets of an Unknown People
 Very Much Excited.


 Lexington, Ky, Aug. 5.-The most des- perate and tragic duel that has ever taken place in the blue grass region since the famous fight in which Goodloe and Swope killed each other, occurred in Woodford hotel at Versailles this after noon, when William Newton Lane of this city shot and instantly killed James Rodenbaugh and mortally wounded the young mans father II. c. Rodenbaugh, proprietor of the hotel
 Lane was drunk at Lexington Saturday night yesterday morning, it is said, had wordy war with the hotel clerk because the clerk would not give him another drink. Lane went to Versailles this morn ing and on arriving there continued drinking. About noon he went to the Woodford hotel and was given a room and slept until about o'clock this after noon. A few minutes after that hour he came down stairs and met James Roden- baugh in the hall and asked the young man the amount of his bill Upon re- ceiving an answer Lane began to abuse Rodenbaugh who is q cripple. Their words soon led to blows and both men drew their pistols about the same time.
 Lanes first shot struck Rodenbaugh in the neck just above the collar bone and lodged just under the skin in the back of the neck. Almost the same instant that Lane fired Rodenbaughs pistol was discharged, producing a wound in Lanes left side. The blood gushed from Roden- baugh's throat and, giving a few gasps, he fell back a corpse. Just as he fell his father opened the door and ss he did 8 the slayer of the son turned upon the father and fired, the ball striking him in the mouth and lodging in the back of his head. He relied and when in the act of falling Lane fired again, the second bull let lodging in the old mans spine. He dropped to the floor and lay by the side Of his son Casting glance at his victims Lane walked out of the hotel. only to be placed in jail. When physicians arrived they found the young man dead and his father in such a serious condition that his death is expected at any hour. H. c. Rodenbaugh was a first lieutenant in the Ninth Kentucky cavalry and was a gallant soldier.

A RUMOR EXPLODED.
Report of an Effort to Restore Queen LII
 Denied,

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Arthur Wilder, the young native Hawaiian who enjoyed the confidence of President Dole during the life of the provisional government of the island, does not think there is any thing in the story published by San Francisco paper that a scheme had been matched there for the restoration of Queen Lii to the throne.
 "Our government is large enough to wipe out any party of exiles or others, said MT. Wilder. T heard great deal of talk in San Francisco about filibus- tering expeditions but nobody in Ha- waii is alarmed. I saw Volney Ashford, who is the reported leader of the exiles. According to the men in San Francisco they are relying upon England for help, as most of them have sent their claims for damages to the British government A revenue boat is cruising around Hon. olulu all the time for the purpose of keeping out these exiles."

Delightful Summer Trip to the East.

On account of the Triennial Conclave of Knights Templars at Boston, Mass, August 26 to 30 various railroad com 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 go and return over the same route, while by the payment of a small difference a va riable route may be obtained That is, going one way and returning another. A great many very desirable side trips may be taken advantage of at very small cost
 This is undoubtedly the best opportuni- ty ever 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 Isles, 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 durat ton to allow all arties time enough to visit the places mentioned.
 MT. Joe Frank of this city has made arrangements with the Louisville and Nashville railroad and it's connecting lines to carry a special party on this oc- casion. and he will be glad to answer all 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.
 Forany other information call on MT. Frank at his office, or call on or write R. F. Beasly, passenger agent Louisville and Nashville railroad.

Gen. P. M. B. Young Says It Would Be Good
 Thing.

Atlanta, Aug. 1.-The press dispatches yesterday telling of the reported secret alliance between Guatemala and Costa Rica was read with considerable interest by Gen. Pierce M. B. Young, the min ister from the United States to Guate- mala and Honduras. General Young IS at home on his annual leave. He feels a live interest in all matters concerning the country in which he has lived mum ber of years and speaking of the report he said:
 .'I have read with great interest what is said concerning the proposed union or the Central American republics. l be lieve that large majority of the lnteli- gent, patriotic citizens of Central Amer lea would like to see a union of these re- publics They believe that such a fed- eration would be greatly to the adVan- tage of each, and at some time all or these governments have expressed theiii- selves as in favor of such union.
 Have there been concerted movements in the past?"
 ''They have had several conventions on the subject in the past. but for some reason they have never been able to redcli a practical result. Before any agreement can he reached each must be willing to concede something, each must be Wliilng to transfer certain of it's powers to the federal government. They nave heNeI been able to agree upon deihite M MpiaI in the past. l DeneVe Una at eiilo 'iii. all of the presidents of the Central Amefl- can republics are patriotic, conserVattiiVe3 men. The government of the Onlteu States has but one sentiment for these republics. and that is one of atectioh, IL hopes and wishes that each of them shall be permitted to pursue its happiness. Ill it's own way, uninterrupted by ioreisn powers" .hosa ,a.
 What is the population of those re-
 "I should say that in the five republics there are perhaps 100000 of people. Ihe nonulation of Guatemala is, In round numbers, 1oO0,O00 The people are Tn, tensely American in their sentiment ana are great believers in the United states. Their idea is any federation Whlch might be brought about to base 1t on the constitution of the United States, mod cling their government as much as possi- ble after our own. Their population IS very similar in character; that is one state with the others. They have much the same soil and climate, and 1t would seem that they have a common destiny It is expected of course that the policy of this government will be to hold hands off and wish them God speed in the work ing out of their salvation in their own way.
