Miss Flagler's Case to Be Presented to the
 Grand Jury.
 Washington, Aug. 6.-The shooting Of the colored boy, Ernest Green, by Miss Flagler, daughter of the chief ordnance of the United States army, is not to be allowed to rest with the verdict of the coroner's jury exonorating Miss Flagler. Assistant District Attornty Taggart is quoted as saying that the case will be brought before he grand jury, which is now in recess until September 9.
 Miss Flagler is in private sanitarium in Baltimore in a condition bordering on nervous prostration. Her friends say that as soon as her physical condition will permit she will return to Washing ton to answer any charge that may be brought against her. The statement of Juryman Dorsey that the phraseology of the verdict was changed after it had been presented to the coroner for the pur- pose of shielding Miss F'lagler is denied by the coroner and Miss Fla gler's coun- sel. They say that the form of the yer dict as returned was incomplete and that it was rewritten by the coroner himself so as to properly express the intent of the jury, and to the amended form all assented, including Dorsey.

THE DURANT TRIAL.

No Addition to the Seven Jurors-Measures
 for the Prisoners Protection.
 San Francisco, Aug. 6.-Chief Jailor Satler again took Durant to court in a buggy this morning. When court opened 1t was found that out of fifty veniremen called only eighteen were pesent. Many asked to be excused but very few were allowed to go by Judge Murphy, who is anxious to have the actual trial com menced.
 The morning passed without a new name being added to the list of jurors already named and an adjournment was taken until tomorrow morning.
 The attack made on Durant while on his way from court has led to stringent measures for his protection. Today Chief Crowley sent a policeman to keep back the crowd in the corridors during Durant's passing through them There was a rumor today that the man who attempted to assault Durant was rel ative of Blanche Lamont, who had sworn to avenge her death, but the officers be- lieve he was werely a crank, actuated by g desire for notoriety.
 Walter $. Brown, one of the seven jul TOTS so far chosen to try Durant, is the man who hung the jury on the second trial of M. D. Howell for counterfeiting. An effort will probably be made to have Brown withdrawn.

Delichtful 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 a 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 theeast.
 It has been decided to put tickets on sale in Birmingham August IS, continu- ing until August 20. Tickets will be of sufficient duration to allow all arties time enough to visit the places mentioned.
 Mr Joe Frank of this city has made arrangements with the Louisville and Nashville railroad and it's connecting lines to carry special party on this oc- casion, and he will be glad to answer all questions pertaining to rate, sieep1ng 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 write R. F. Beasly, passenger agent Louisville and Nashville railroad.

AT LAkEVlEW.
An Immense Crowd Gathered to Witness .he Fireworks Dsplay-Difficulty in Hand-
 ling the Crowd

Last night was a gala one at Lake view. The attraction was fireworks display and dance afterward in the pa- vilion. Conservative estimates placed the crowd at 5000, and the banks of the. lake and sides of the hill were packed with people, all anxious to see the sights.
 Rockets, Roman candles, bombs, set pieces and other fireworks were set off and the crowd enjoyed the display very much. After the last piece had been set off great number repaired to the pavilion and enjoyed the dance. 8
 There was considerable complaint at the slowness in getting the crowd away from the lake, and many walked over to the electric car line, on Avenue F, and took the cars from that point to the city.

 Versailles, Ky, Aug. 6-!This has been a day of excitement here. H. c. Roden- baugh is lying at deaths door on account of wounds inflicted on him by w. New ton Lane of Lexington yesterday. The court room was packed with friends of Rodenbaugh this afternoon to hear the testimony before the coroner's jury. The jury rendered verdict that James Ro- denbaugh came to his death at the hands of w. N. Lane without just cause.
 Immediately after the verdict County Judge l.. H. Paris issued an order to the sheriff to send Lane to the Lexington jail on account of the danger of lynch ing, and two deputies took him to Lex ington in carriage.

 Desha Brecloinridge, son of w. c. P. Breckinridge, was with Lane today. Many people condemn Colonel Breckin- ridge for agreeing to defend Lane while others uphold him. An attempt at lynchng may be made before morning.

Attendance Larger Than Antcipated-Ex-Sen-
 ator Reagan Makes a Speech.

Fort Worth, Tex, Aug. 6.-The state democratic free silver convention was called to order at noon today and the at tendance was a considerable surprise to those who had predicted a small turn out. About 1000 delegates were present when Hon. D. A. Owley of Denton called the convention to order, Hon. Bryan T. Berry of Dallas was made temporary chairman and Bryon Drew of Kaufman and w. s. Sargent of Hunt were elected temporary secretaries. Committees were appointed on resolutions, permanent or ganization and basis of representation
 Ex-Senator Reagan was invited 10 ad- dress the convention in the afternoon.
 The sensation of the forenoon session was created by a motion that complete list of the delegates be made out in order to give the lie to the newspapers that had been saving and continue to say, that the free silver conventions were made up chiefly of republicans, negroes and popu- lists, with a slight Sprinkling of demo- crats.
 The afternoon session was almost en- tirely taken up with speech-making. Ex- Senator Reagan making the leading speech of the day
 The committee on resolutions and plat form could not come to an agreement, but the committee on organization re- ported the following officers: Chairman, J. w. Bailey of Cook; secretaries, Bai- ley Lanham and Crane, who made speeches and were received with vocif- erous enthusiasm. Letters were read from Senators Morgan of Alabama and Jones of Arkansas and telegram from Richard P Bland, chairman of the state democratic silver convention of Mis- souri.
 At the night session resolutions were passed declaring for the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1, independent of interna- tional agreement, and condemning the financial policy of the present admins

FATHER TOLD HIM TO KILL HER. So the Boy Knocked His Girl Companion in
 the Head.

Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. GA special to the Times Union from Houston, Fla, says: Albert Tillis, aged 12, killed Annie Avant, aged years yesterday afternoon as they were returning from school. The boy knocked the girl in the head with a light wood knot, dragged her body into the woods and partly covered it with leaves. There were indications that crime other than murder had been at- tempted. It seems that Tillis and Mrs. Avent, who is a widow, had quarreled, and Tillls had ordered his son not to allow the little girl to walk with him from school any more, even if he had to kill her. When the children left school the boy told Annie not to walk with him. The little girl came on, however, and then in obedience to his fathers commands, the boy picked up a light-wood knot and kill ed the child The Tillis and Avent fami- lies are Well-tO-dO.

Parsonage.
 Quite a large crowd assembled on the lawn of the Twenty-first Avenue Meth odist church last night to enjoy a delight ful entertainment given by the Epworth league of that church for the benefit of the parsonage.
 An interesting programme of recita- tions, songs and musical selections had been arranged, which were rendered in a most satisfactory manner and was great ly appreciated by all present.
 The ladies in charge of the entertain ment had prepared a splendid collation., which was served by dainty fingers, and this feature added much to the pleasure of the occasion.
 A neat sum was realized, enough. it is thought, to liquidate the remaining indebtedness on the parsonage.
