 MT, J. l.. ChalifouX promises that his house will have q splendid float in the mardi gras procession next year. He was very busy this time and did not fully inform himself as to the nature of the floats. He supposed 1t would be an advertising parade as they have in his old home Lowell, Mass, on the Fourth of July. Next year he will select an ale gorical subject and illustrate 1t in handsome manner.

His left leg below the knee had been badly mashed, but no other evidence of a se- were injury was visible, except what seemed to be a decidedly swollen condi- tion of the stomach. The trousers worn by the man were stained with the red iron ore of this district, although 1t could not be definitely learned this morning at an early hour whether or not he had been an employee of the Alice furnace or not
 It is said, however, that the telephone message to Warner-Smley came from the Alice furnace that the dead man was discovered near the plant by an employe of the company whose name was hot known.
 Coroner Dusenberry will doubtless give the mans death his attention today

An Able Speech-It Gained Friends for
 Johnston.
 Evergreen, Feb. 19.-(SpeciaL) )-At a meeting of the executive committee of the peoples party recently held Dr. F.. M Bruner, the chairman, was ordered to call a primary election for county of ficers. which will be held on March 31. There is no doubt that there will be coa- lescing between these people and the re- publicans.
 The speech of Captain Johnston at Thomasvile has certainly made him a host of friends. It was an able presen- tation of his side of the question. By the way, at least tWo-thirds of~the voters of this beat will be for Johnston. l, Of course, mean democratic voters. It is conceded, even by the Clarke men, that he will have the delegation from this county.
 Work on the new Baptist pastorium has commenced and will be speedily fin ished.
 Evergreen will soon have a telephone service MT w. c. Crumpton, the pop ular editor of the Record, is at the head of this enterprise, and that is sufficient guarantee of it's success.
 There is not vacant dwelling house in the town, and the demand for places of this kind far exceeds the supply.
 A poverty party was held at the resi- dence of pr. P. M. Bruner this week for the purpose of raising funds for the new pastorium.
 Two new stores have been opened in Evergreen this week.

TROY.
Johnston Got All the Applause at the Clarke
 Meeting.

Troy, Feb. 19.-(Special)- Clarke club was finally organized last night, Ex-Governor Jones being present, ac- cording to the announcement made last week. Hand bills were freely scattered through the town announcing that he would speak. After all this effort about 200 were in the court house, this number being composed in part of jurors, wit nesses and parties attending court, now in session. The clubs enrolled members had not much increased over the number claimed on the list last Wednesday. JohnSton's friends are confident that at least half the audience were for Johnston. After organizing the club adopted the following resolutions:
 Resolved, That the members of this Clarke club will use all honorable means to secure the nomination of Hon. Richard H. Clarke for governor of Alabama.
 Resolved @, That should Richard H.. Clarke fail to secure the nomina tion we pledge ourselves to cast our votes at the August election for the nominee, he be- ing a democrat.
 A member moved to amend by striking out of the second resolution the word democrat" and inserting "Cleve- land democrat" or that in substance.
 After the adoption of the above reso- lutionS a member moved to reconsider them, which was done. Then, on mo- ton, said resolutions were laid on the table until some future meeting, at which time MT. Clarke will be invited to ad- dress the people.
 Johnston's friends today are inquiring of members of the club what is the sig nificance of the resolutions; whether they are intended to charge that the state convention will not nominate a democrat, or that Captain Johnston is not a democrat, or that before commit ting themselves to the support of even MT. Clarke or the nominee of the con- vention they must first have his advice and direction, or was 1t an unfor- tunate indiscretion, or was it opening a gate through which to bolt the nominee of the convention, or was it an indication of Clarke's weakness.
 Pending the motion for reconsideration some one declared that Johnston was as good a democrat as there was in the state, at which there was such spon- taneous, hearty and unanimous applause throughout the audience of lookers-on as we'll as some of the club, that John ston's friends were convinced that they had a majority of the crowd; and this same manifestation was given at appro- priate intervals when Johnston's name was mentioned Johnston's friends are all smiles today and feel sure they have the go on MT. Clarke. Last night only strengthens their convictions. They are conducting the campaign in firm and determined manner, but in such a way as to secure harmony and good feeling. Mr. Clarke's friends are trying to explain their resolutions.

OPELIKA A.
A Foul Murder and an Attempt to Burn
 Store.

Opelka Feb. -(Special)-There was A foul murder committed about four miles southeast of Wedowee, in Randolph county. Susan Evans, young white woman, was found early in the morning in the public road near her house dead, with her brains beaten out. She was in her night clothes and had evidently been pulled from bed. There is some circum- stantial evidence tending to incriminate certain persons, but as yet 1t is not suf- ficiently authentic to authorize the pub lication of any names. The place is located in a very inaccessible and wild country not reached by telegraph or railroad.
 Some incendiary attempted to set fire to one of the stores in Opelika this even ing, and but for the prompt discovery of the fire the whole business part of the city would have been laid in ashes. It has been blowing a gale here all day and no human power could have suppressed the flames. The incendiaries went up stairs in the building. tore off about 3 square feet of clustering, and. piling up paper and cotton next to the lathing, saturated 1t with oil and set fire to it. There is nc clue to the perpetrator.

WAS IT A MURDER :?
Dead Body of an Unknown Negro Fouad Near Alice Furnace.

The body of an unknown negro was found last night in the Louisville and
 Nashville yards, near the Alice furnace, about 12 o'clock. The body was that of a man about 25 years of age. He was dressed as laborer, and had a new dark blue cap in addition to an old slouch hat much the worse for wear. A State Her aid reporter called at the Warner Smiley & Go. undertaking establishment about 1 o'clock, a few minutes after the body
 had been taken there. MT Conkling, the driver of the dead wagon. was not in at
 the time, and as the night watchman knew nothing further of the details, the reporter was given a match and invited to inspect the remains in the cooling room. 1The body lay on box with some under garments. the new cap, the old slouch hat and an abridged and much worn

SCOTTSBORO.
Clarke Speaks in Scottsboro-Jackson All
 Right.

Scottsboro, Feb. 19.-(Special )-Coi R. H. Clarke spoke here Monday night to a fair and patient audience. He was in- troduced by Hon. c. w. Brown, who in his remarks paid high tribute to Grover Cleveland and the administration. Col onel Clarke opened his speech with abuse of Capt. Joseph F. Johnston and closed in about the same manner. In fact, should he have left off that portion his speech would have been short. He spoke about two hours. MT. Clarke has three other appointments in Jackson county and, of course, will be received with great approval by the goldbug ele- ment. However to be honest with the colonel if he gets a one-third represent tation from Jackson, he may be consid- cred lucky. Joseph F. Johnston and free silver is the ticket.
