CAN'T FIGHT IN THE TERRITORY.
Mr.. Harmon Says the United States or Some
State has Supervision Over All Lands

Washington. Oct. Attorney General
Harmon today reiterated his statement
made last week that the Corbett-Fitz-
simmons fight would not come off on any
ground over which the United States has
jurisdiction. Talk that the Six nations
or other Indian tribes have exclusive ju-
risdiction over their reservat.o or coun-
try and by adopting prize fighters as
members of the tribe can thus put them
outside the pale of federal Jurisdiction is
regarded in legal circles here as simply
nonsense. without basis of fact The fur
ther contention that there is any ground
within the boundaries of the United
States over which some state or the
United States has not police jurisdiction
is regarded as equally absurd Slugger's
island in the Missouri river, which is
cIassed as neutral ground, is under the
police jurisdiction Of the state of Mis-

5 PER CENTS AT A PREMIUM
Messrs. Steiner Bros. SuCceedin
Getting the Bonds.
THERE WERE EIGHT BIDDERS
Baldwin of Montgomery Changed His Offer
A Protest Sustained.
BANKHEAD AND CLARK FRIDAY NIGHT
They Go Thence to Selma and on Around
the State-Both in Good Trim and
Ready for the Fray-Gen-
eral News.
THERE WERE EIGHT BIDDERS
BANKHEAD AND CLARK FRIDAY NIGHT

Montgomery, Oct -(SpeciaL)-Stein-
er Bros, Brmingham's wide-awake
bankers and bond brokers, were the sue
cessful bidders here today for $4,000 of
Montgomery county's per cent forty
year bonds Their bid was 104A. or a
premium of $2125 The bonds are redeem
able after thirty years.
The following were the bids and the
bidders:
Steiner Bros. of Birmingham. 104A, or
$52,125.
Josiah Morris & Co. of Montgomery,
1O3 S1.1OO. or $5l ,9O5.
Mary S. Chambers of New York, 104,
or $4,000.
e. H. Rollins & Son of New York,
103 26. 10O or $51 $50.
S. S. Kean of Chicago, 100 or $4,000.
Farson, Leach & Co of New York. $780,
563.
Edward c. Jones of New York, 102 100,
or $5225O.
A. M. Baldwin of Montgomery 104h, or
$52,2 ,25O.
1t will be observed that Mr.. Baldwin's
bid was higher than that of Steiner Bros
by $125. 1t appears that the conditions
of both bids had to be amended in some
insignificant particulars and that when
Mr.. Baldwin changed his conditions he
also increased his bid somewhat. The
bids had, however, been opened and Mr.
Steiner protested against the increase
in the bid so late in the engagement. The
board of revenue sustained the protest
and the bids were awarded as stated, to
Steiner Bros.

A Curious Combination.

Topeka. Ks, Oct. 1.-The opposition to
the republican party in Franklin county
resulted Saturday in fusion. which has
attracted much attention and comment
among the political leaders. Democrats
populists and prohibitionists Joined in
the nomination of the county ticket to
give each party an equal share In candi-
dates. Rev. M. w. Harton, chairman Of
the prohibition state central committee
was nominated for register of deeds
This is the most remarkable combination
ever made in the state, as the democrats
have always opposed prohibition and pro-
hibitionists have regarded them as their
greatest enemy. For ten years Franklin
county has been the third party and
prohibition stronghold of Kansas.

A BAD RAILROAD WRECK
Two Heavily Laden Passenger
Trains Meet
WITH DISASTROUS RESULTS
Eighteen People Are Now Known to Have
Been Killed,
AND ONE HUNDRED WERE INJURED
Mr.. Beernaert, President of the Brussels
Chamber of Deputies, Was Unhurt,
His Sister-in-Law Killed and
His Wife Injured.

Brussels. Oct. 1.-Two heavily ladened
passenger trains came into collision be-
tween Wavre and Ottignies, about eigh-
teen miles from this city, last evening
and most of the cars of both trains were
wrecked.
Ten persons were killed outright and
forty injured, some of them fatally.
Among the passengers were M. Beer
naert, president of the chamber of dep
uties, his wife and her sister, Mrs. Moul-
on. The latter was killed and Madame
Beernaert was injured, though not Sc
riously. NJ. Beernaert is unhurt.
Eighteen Killed.
Later news from the scene of the rail-
way accident shows the disaster was a
great deal more serious than first reports
indicated.
1t is now ascertained that eighteen per-
sons were killed and at least 100 injured
The list of fatally wounded is also likely
to be increased a least twenty-five.
The collision was not between two pas
senger trains, as at first reported. but
between passenger and a freight train
The engine of the freight train struck
the passenger cars, two of which We're
crowded with men and women. These
cars were telescoped and third thrown
on top of them. The rescuing party
worked throughout the night taking out
the dead and injured from the debris

NEW FURNACES TO Be BUILT
The Birmingham District Will
Soon Add Two
MORE GEMS TO HER TIARA
Mr.. DeBardeleben the Builder -Bessemer the
Lucky Location-A Pleasant Surprise
for the Citizens of Bessemer.

'1s there anything new in the industrial
line?" asked State Herald reporter of
Mr. H. F. DeBardeleben late Saturday
night.
Nothing particular" was the reply,
except the two new furnaces am build
ing at Bessener."
The nonchalant manner in which Mr..
DeBardeleben said this left the impress
sion that he intended building these fur
naces in the future. The reporter did not
realize at the moment that he was talk
ing to a man who had built a number of
furnaces and developed the largest coal
mine in the world and who had such
large interests that two more furnaces
was a matter of comparative small mo-
ment. But two new furnaces means q
great deal to the Birmingham district,
and the reporter made further enquiries
yesterday and learned from men who
keep up with our Industrial progress that
these furnaces were decided on several
weeks ago. A visit to the machine shops
disclosed the additional fact that the con-
tract for the boilers had been let to Crel-
lin & Nails, and the contract for the en-
gines to the Hardie machine shops, and
that boilers and engines were now about
ready for placing in position.
The expenditure of $500, 900 in the build
ing of these two furnaces will add to
the volume of money in circulation in
the district and will give renewed i'm
petus to our mercantile and industrial
interests. Nearly all of the material
used in the construction of the plant
will be obtained here at home. This was
not possible five years ago, when the last
furnace In this district was built, but
since then our foundries and machine
shops have increased their capacity and
skilled labor has come into our midst,
and 1t Is possible to build a furnace at
home. Not only will this new plant
prove beneficial to the district, but the
resultant effect will be of great benefit
The example of Mr. DeBardeleben will
spur others to make similar developments
and his enterprise will encourage the
spirit du corps of the Industrial army.
He is our great captain of industry, and
where he leads others may safely fol-
low. He certainly would not build new
furnaces If he did not believe that the
present price of iron was permanent and
not speculative. He certainly would not
make such a large investment If he did
not see with prophetic ken the light of
a brighter day breaking on the horizon.
1t is probable that these new furnaces
will be the forerunners of a number that
will be built in a short time. Nearly all
the present furnaces in the district were
built in rapid succession-they were built
in bunch, so to speak. History repeats
itself

THE DEADLY OIL LAMP
Two Sisters Meet Death in a Most
Awful Manner.
A HEART-RENDlNG SCENE
For Several Hours the UnfortunateS Indure
Their Tortures Before Relieved
by Death.

One of the most horrible catastrophes
that has ever occurred in this district
happened at Fowler's station, Woodlawn
between and o'clock Sunday evening
A lamp exploded in the hands of Effie
Dora Evatt the 15-year-old daughter of
w H. Evatt. and threw oil all over her
and her 10-year-old sister, The oil ig-
nited and the most heroic work of their
father and brother could only save them
from immediate death. Almost every
vestage of clothing was burned from
their bodies and the skin and flesh
pealed off.
They fingered for hours, suff. .ering the
most intense agony before succumbing to
death. the younger Addie, dying at 70 80
and Efie Dora at 500 yesterday morning
1t was about $50 o'clock Sunday even
ing that Efiie Dora Evatt asked her
brother John to hand her a lamp which
he held in his hand. AS she was taking
hold of it the lamp exploded, and, as
above stated, bespattered the two sisters
with OIL
Some of the oil spattered on John
Evatts arm and igniting burned his
coat sleeve off before he could extinguish
the flame, AS soon as he could do so he
went to the aid of his sisters but was
unable to do much for them.
Mr.. Evatt was in the room, and as soon
as he saw the flames he ran to the rescue
of his daughters. but no power could save
them. The flames rapidly covered their
bodies, and resisted all efforts to extin-
guish them. The clothes were torn, piece
by piece, from the girls, but that had no
effect on the flames, and when all the
garments had finally been removed. it
was found that their bodies from their
waists up had been burned almost to a
crisp. and the skin was pealing off,
In their fright the two girls had in
hailed the flames. and were thereby rem
dered speechless Drs. Cross and Caffee
were called in, but were unable to do
anything to relieve their suffering.
Friends of the family went to their as
sistance, and watched over the dying
forms of the once beautiful girls until
they breathed their last
Their remains will be taken to Oak
Grove. this county, today for burial.

engine up the road a short distance and
went through it. They were unable TO
get into the safe and the local contained
nothing of value
The train was crowded with people
coming to see the circus in this city, and
the gang would have made a rich haul by
going through the passenger coaches,
but they refused to rob them. The only
demonstration made against them was
firing one shot in the coach The guard
in charge ordered all to keep seated and
they would not be molested One boy got
scared and ran and the robbers fired
through the bottom of the coach. The
boy fell and the passengers thought he
was killed. This caused a stampede.
The Christian brothers gang is credited
with the hold up.

rade of the school children and the pa
triotic scenes were quite imposing. The
bell car was side-tracked in the big rail-
road station, where a platform for the
speakers had been erected. The Junior

TWO MILLIONS
The Price Paid for the Central of Georgia.
Sold at Auction in Savannah
Yesterday.

Savannah, Ca, Oct. 1.-THE Central
Railroad of Georgia was sold at noon to-
day in front of the passenger station in
this city to Messrs. Samuel Thomas and
Thomas H. Ryan for $2,000,000 There
was a crowd of about 300 people present,
among them being Messrs. Thomas and
RYAN, Henry Crawford. II. M. Conner,
Robert b. Lowry, Senator A. o. Bacon
and large number of lawyers interested
in the proceedings. The sale took place
in pursuance of a decree of the circuit
court of the United States for the South
ern district of Georgia, entered August
26 1885, in the suit of the Farmers Loan
and Trust company against the Central
Railroad and Banking Company of Geor-
gia ct al. and Alexander Brown & Sons
against the Central Railroad and Bank
ing Company of Georgia ct al, consol-
idated cause in equity, upon the cross bill
of the Central Tust company of New
York Col. A. Il. Buck, one of the spe-
cial commissioners appointed to sell the
property, gave notice of the sale at IL
O'Clock and called on George w. Owens,
the other commissioner, to read the ad-
vertisement, which was done. Mr.. Owens
also read notice stating that parlor car
No. 30 did not belong to the Central rail-
road, but to the Chattanooga, Rome and
Columbus Railroad company. Colonel
Buck then said it was useless for him to
describe what magnificent property
was being offered, as every one was fa-
miliar with its advantages. When he
called for bid there was a silence of a
minute or two, after which Mr.. Henry
Crawford said: 'In behalf of Mr.. Samuel
Thomas and Mrs. Thomas f. Ryan bid
50, 600 00o."
Colonel Buck called while for other
bids. but no others came and he declared
the property sold to- Messrs Ryan and
Thomas for s2.000,000. Thereupon Mr..
Crawford placed in the hands of the spe-
cial commissioners certified check for
$40, 900, in order with the decree of the
court. and the necessary papers were
signed by the commissioners. The rail-
road spent some time today in looking
over the terminals and yards and will
leave tonight on the return to New York.

OLD LIBERTY BELL
Has Reached Chattanooga Patriotic Crowds
Continue TO Meet it at Every Town
Along the Route.

Chattanooga. Tenn, Oct. From
Knoxville to Chattanooga the liberty
bell wended it's way this morning through
constant succession of ovations A
drizzling rain was falling at Knoxville,
but nearly all of the public school chill
dren marched past the revolutionary
relic, a feature being nearly 300 hig
school girls with books and lunch bas-
kets, who came in a body. Factory
whistles saluted as the train steamed
southwark, and from windows and
bridges many flags were waved in fare
well. At Lenoir City the big car wheel
works suspended operation, and several
hundred hrawny workmen cheered the
bell. 1t halted for a moment or two at
picturesque old Loudon. A monster
American flag was suspended over. the
railroad tracks and nearly every build
ing sported the national colors. There
were many children at this point, and
Select Councilman Bringhurst of Phila-
delphia made a short address.
There was another crowd at Sweet
Water and a larger one at Athens In
the latter place there was considerable
decoration, and Mayor Warwick spoke
after being introduced by City Attornty
e. b. Matterson. The most notable re-
public school children were ranged along
the tracks. At one end stood about 100
blooming maidens, wearing mortar
boards and gowns. They were students
of the Centenary college, the educational
institution of the Methodist church south
Their teachers were with them and the
flowers that had been placed on the bell
at Loudon and Athens were divided
among these Tennessee beauties. Mayor
Warwick made bright address here.
paying many compliments to the pretty
girls about him. Sherman Heights
turned out another crowd. though the
train stopped but few minutes. In
fact. at every cross roads and farm house
waiting crowds had shown evidences of
patriotic impulse. and many have been
the fusilades of cheers and flowers
hurled at the old bell as the train sped
along on it's way to Atlanta. The cere-
monies at Chattanooga were more for
NAL than any YET held. There was a oa-
