trial in Ozark. after being out three
hours, returned verdict of murder in
the first degree. The trial occupied
five days. Jesse Jones was charged
with the murder of Charles and Jesse

preme court, and change of venue
was taken to Franklin county.
Jones was from Spencer county,
Ind, and fell in with the Hidden
boys, from the Indian territory, who
were buying and selling cattle and
horses, and one night while camped in
an old house near Bonneville, Logan
county, Jones is supposed to have
killed the Hibdens and burned the
house with the bodies in it the next
day. The evidence was all circum-
stantial. He was only tried for the
murder of Jesse Hidden, and will now

The exposition at Atlanta will be an un- qualified success, both in the matter of exhibits and in attendance. Visitors will be there from the four quarters of the globe, a very considerable number of whom win not be sight-seers in the ordi- nary sense of the term, but capitalists attracted by the stories of the marvellous possibilities and resources of the South. and who will come prepared to invest, or who will return later with that purpose.
 It goes without saying that the city or section that makes the best showing will attract most attention and reap most de- cided benefits.
 The promise is that Alabama and Bir- mingham will have no cause to blush by contrast at the great fair. But 1t oc- CUTS to the Age-Herald that we might profit greatly by efforts outside of those directed to the exhibit proper For in- stance by tbe circulation of neat, at tractive folder. setting forth eoncisely and effectively the resources of the Bir- mingham district, or by the appointment of a special committee of one, two or three good "talkers," who shall present the claims of Birmingham in season and cut during the period of the exposition. But Birmingham has an exposition which she cannot transport to Atlanta, and which is as interesting as any of the promised features at the Gate City. Our furnaces with their up-to-date equipments and wonderful records of production, our ore and coal mines and our limestone quarries. must be seen to be appreciated. Personal inspection alone can give one an adequate idea of their extent and fortunate jextaposition. Would it not be a good idea to work up one or more excursions from Atlanta to Birmingham during the exposition? We do not mean the Cheap-John affairs so much in vogue, where passengers are packed like herrings, and are at the mer- cy of the tougher element, but an excur- sion in which due regard is had for per sonal comfort and which would attract the very best class.
 Would it not be a still better idea if such an excursion were made free, invi- tations being extended to substantial men and prospective investors? It strikes us that this outlay would be repaid many fold
 What say you, gentlemen of the Com mercial Club?

A TRAMP'S NERVE.
He Reads the Morning Paper While Waiting
 for His Breakfast.

Mobile Register.
 well-known gentleman told very amusing story yesterday about the cool ness of a tramp who visited his house yesterday morning..
 He said that the tramp arrived before the preparation of the morning meal had been completed and asked for some breakfast. He was told that breakfast was not ready, but that if he would take a seat on the gallery he would be given some breakfast as soon as it was done He took his seat, and in few minutes there was a knocking at the door again, and when one of the members or the family answered the knock the tramp inquired:
 Have you a morning paper?"
 Being answered in the affirmative he said:
 will you please let me read it''
 The paper was brought and he sat there and devoured it's contents, and when he had finished he returned the paper, and then informed the lady of the house that he would like to have a towel and be shown to the wash basin in order that he might perform his morn ing ablutions. The lady wondered at his nerve, but as his requests were couched in polite language she did not refuse him, and he was given a towel and was shown to the wash basin. After he had washed his face and hands he declared himself ready to eat his breakfast. The meal was given him, and after he had satisfied the inner man he told the lady that he was just out of the hospital, and that he would like to be directed to the Mobile and Birmingham depot, as he had some friends at work in the yards there
 The lady did not know the way to the Mobile and Birmingham depot, and so the tramp left after thanking her for the hospitality that she had extended to him.
 This is but another evidence of the hos pitality that Mobilians extend to the strangers within their gates

THE TROUBLE WITH 10.

When the correspondents finally get Jacksons Hole located and decide
 whether it is in Wyoming or Idaho, it
 may be the public will come into posses
 sion of some reliable information on the
 subject of the alleged recent massacre
 Reports from that section have been many and varied. It has been charged
 that it was a case of wholesale Indian
 butchery. brought about by the Ban
 nocks violating the game law.t and in sulting white women. Still another re- port is that the whole thing was trace able directly to the white settlers, who provoked quarrel for the purpose of destroying the Indians. A later report
 accounts the entire story merely a sensa- tional manufactured article, dished up for the benefit of the credulous.
 In the midst of all the sentimental sympathy with To- it may be well to re- call to the mind of the public that the white settlers cannot be too wary of the noble Red man in view of his shifti- ness some years ago. It will be remem- bered that at Wounded Knee Colonel Forsyth was in command of the Sev- enth Cavalry, and the Sioux surrendered under g flag of truce. While a detach-
 ment of troops were off their guard and
 about to disarm the Indians, at a given
 signal the latter emptied volley after
 volley into the ranks of their captors,
 killing Lieutenant Garland, Captain Wallace and many others This so en- ragged the privates that a wholesale
 slaughter ensued, and the sentimental lists were as ready then as now to weep over I4o and his untutored mind. His
 mental condition may provoke sympa- thy, but his gun is just as likely to bring down big game as that of his intelligent
 white brother. Under any circumstances it appears to be reasonable to advise
 the Jingoes to wait for reliable informa- tion that the United States troops are slaughtering the Bannocks without
 cause before they draw their red ban
 dannas out and wipe their weeping eyes in sympathy for Lo.

THE CARLISLE INTERVIEW

MT. William Ryan, whose interview with Carlisle has created so much dis cussion, is a brother to MT. J. R. Ryan of Birmingham. MT. William Ryan is collector of the port at Richmond and also editor of the Richmond State. He is a personal friend of President Cleve- land and always calls at the White House when in Washington. He is also on familiar footing with members of the Cabinet, and when he called on Secretary Carlisle the other day the Secretary no doubt talked unreservedly According to the published interview MT. Carlisle is reported to have said: "Notwith- standing the fact that the Presidency is the greatest honor that can be be- slowed I do not want the office. I have seen too much of the hard work attached to it. The responsibility is not only tre- mendous, but the work multiples and becomes more eXacting every year. A man must have an iron constitution to stand it. I am sincere when I say I do not want the nomination. I will cer- tainly do nothing toward getting the nomination"
 MT. Carlisle then went on to say that not since the government was founded has any administration had such trying times in war as this administration had had to contend with. ''How about the third term talk?" was asked. "As close as I am to the President" said Mir. Car lisle "he has never referred to that sub ject in my presence. I know no more about it than you do. But as Mir Cleve- land did not seek the nomination in 1892 it seems needless to say that he will not be a willing candidate in 1896 I know he did not want to run the last

LAFAYETTE DUMMY LINE
HAS THE APPEARANCE OF A C CERTAINTY
MT. ], 1. Cowan, Surveyor of the Route, Inter- viewed and He Talks Enthusiastically
 About the Road,

Opelka Post
 Some time ago we announced through the Post that meeting was held in Lafayette, and Mr J. l. Cowan of this city was authorized to make prelim- mary survey of dummy line to pass by Oak Bowery to Opelika.
 Opelika is interested in the construc- ton of the road to the extent that 1t will be valuable feeder, bringing to our merchants much valuable trade from all the territory this side of La Fayette This has been the experience OF the line from Auburn and the ter ritory around Oak Bowery is the most fertile in this section of the state
 On Monday afternoon last President J. M McNamee of the board of trade called a meeting of his board and of the citizens and after explanations a com mittee was appointed to look after the citys interest in the road
 On Tuesday afternoon MT Cowan com pleted the survey, driving the last stake in front of the First National bank, on North Railroad avenue. Coming out from Lafayette the survey follows the Dudleyville road, passing by the homes of Messrs. c. I. Sturley, R. B. Smith, and ". P. Spratlipg. It runs just in front of Captain Buflard's house. at Oak Bowery. It is about five or six miles from the East Alabama road at the far thest point. Approaching Opellka the survey comes east of the pumping sta tion, through the Grant lands, and enters Randolph street; comes down Randolph to North Railroad avenue, thence down Railroad avenue to Chambers street. The total distance is twenty-one and three-quarter miles, and may, on a final survey be shortened by half to three- quarters of a mile. MT Cowan is enthu- t-fn fia 6A,, traverse most fertile district and bring large trade to Opelika. He states fur ther that the people along the line are exceedingly anxious for the road, and will donate rights-of-way and many of them Twill also donate grading. MT. Cowan states that the road can be built on light grades, and will be ironed with forty to forty-five pound new steel rails.

A RARE BOOK.
An Attache of the Age-Herald Owns a Vol
 ume Printed in 1854.

MT. w. w. Hudson, an attache of the Age-Herald office, has a book that is probably the only one of it's kind in ex- istence. It was published in Basileal Bavaria, in 1554, and is in wonderfully well-preserved state. Its title is, "Eccle- siasticae, Historiae Autories," and is the work of Eusebens, author and philoso- nher and is written in the Latin lan- guage. It is a religious work, and was one of a large collection of rare books in the library of Rev. D. M. Hudson, who died at his home in Tuskegee several years ago.
 The book is bound in sheep, which is but slightly worn, although it shows much use.
 MT. w. w. Hudson is son of Rev D. M. Hudson, and will take this and other books found in his fathers library to tho Atlanta exposition, where they will be placed on exhibition. His father had A library of over 5000 volumes when he died. one of which was Bible published early in the fourteenth century

 To the Age-Herald:

TO the Age-HeraId:
 I watched the Montgomery Advertiser with a good deal of interest to see what it would say about the change in the ownership of the Age-Herald. The Ad- vertiser is democratic after the most straitest sect, and looks with suspicion on anything with the least tinge of repub- licanism I can imagine Grandma Ad- vertiser wiping her specs and reading slowly and carefully the evidence. Then carefully in her lap, she gives her delib- crate opinion: Well, it looks, demo- cratic. reads democratic, smells demo- cratic, and, therefore it must be dem ocratic." The decision of the Advertiser is conclusive-all the other papers must follow sut-for the Advertiser is con- noisseur when it comes to testing demo- cratic doctrine.
