STRICKEN BY A SCOUNOREL
Murderous Assault Upon Miss
Cora Moore of East Lake.
TWO DEADLY BLOWS STRUCK
Jim Ellison, CoIored, Apprehended, and for
Time it Looked Like he Would
be Lynched.

Jim Ellison, a negro is in the county
Jail charged with burglary and assault
with intent to murder.
The crime he is charged with having
committed is one of the most dastardly
ever recorded in the history of Jefferson
county.
On Sunday morning between and 8
o'clock Miss Cora Moore an accomplished
young lady of East Lake, while lying in
bed beside her sister was dealt severe
blow with some blunt instrument over
the left eye, which left her unconscious
for a few minutes. When she recovered
she saw man in the room, and when she
attempted to give an alarm the scoun-
drel dealt her another blow over the right
eye with the same instrument and then
escaped through an open window, by
means of which he had gained entrance
to the house.
Staggering from the blow and weak
from loss of blood, the young lady made
her way to another part of the house
where her brothers were sleeping ana
gave an alarm.
The brothers hastily dressed and rush
ed out to find the scoundrel but he had
made good his escape.
DIR. Barrett was summoned, and he
dressed the injured girls wounds, which
are very ugly.
In the meantime the citizens of East
Lake had been aroused, and a search was
begun for the guilty wretch. Sheriff
OBren was communicated with, and he
telephoned to Mr.. Roebuck for the county
dogs, the sheriff, with two deputies, 60
ing to East Lake.
Fortunate for Jim Ellison 1t was that
the sheriff and deputies did this. The
angry citizens of East Lake had caught
Jim Ellison, and, thinking him the guilty
man. strong talk of a lynching was in-
dulged in. He stoutly protested his inno-
cence, and it was only this and the timely
arrival of the sheriff that saved him at
least from rough treatment. The negro
was taken in charge by Sheriff O'Brien
and deputies and taken to the county jail.
In the meantime the dogs had arrived,
and were taken to the home of Mr..
Moore. from which place they started on
the man hunt followed by Deputies War
mock, Roebuck and Ball and Mr.. j. Il.
Shugart The dogs went in the direction
of Dolcite and were closely followed. They
came upon a white man lying asleep in
the woods but as he seemed to have been
there all night, he was not disturbed The
hunt was eventually given up.
The negro Ellison will have hearing
before Justice Williams at East Lake to-
morrow. Sentiment seems to point to-
ward the innocence of the negro.
The young lady is very popular at East
Lake, and holds q position here with the
birmingham Book company.

SENATOR PUGH
Is Convalescing-RestIess Over His Tempo.
rary Confinement-Potical
UtteranceS.

Senator James L. Pugh has been con-
fined to his room at the Morris for several
days with severe attack of cold.
A State Herald reporter called at his
room yesterday afternoon and found him
in good spirits.
II am getting along all right now" said
the senator when the reporter inquired
how he was feeling.
II am sick so little that to stay cooped
up makes me somewhat restless. l took
cold the other night by my own careless
ness, but am getting all right now"
II see that Senator Morgan has fired a
big gun at Troy put in the reporter.
Eyes, am glad to know that he is able
to fill his appointments. However, 1t looks
to me like a waste of time and money to
be canvassing Alabama. The coming to-
gether of the democrats and populists
guarantees the state by at least 80 per
cent for Bryan"
The senator paid high eulogy to many
of his associates in the senate, and for
more than an hour the newspaper man
sat by his bedside drinking in, without
the least thought of his pen, the many
interesting topics upon which he touched.
The senator is firm in the belief that
Bryan and Sewall will be elected Mr..
Bryan, he says, is the man of all others
ITO make the race. 1T Is a matter of his
tory" said he, "that whenever there &C.
ours a revolution, either in politics or
war. a new leader invariably rises equal
to the occasion"
Quite a number of political leaders and
personal friends are constant callers
upon the senator, despite his indisposi-
ton.
Col John Pugh of Gadsden, the sena,
tors son, is staying with his father dur.
ing his illness.

FLYING THICK AND FAST
POLITICAL POINTERS OF ALL SORTS
Mr.. Adrich Has Declined to Stand for Con-
gresS in This District-koIb and Bow
man May Support Bryan.

There is politics and politics in Jeffer
son county.
There is clear water and muddy water
There is falling out and there is making
up again.
Upon the whole, things are in rather a
muddled condition all round.
The old line democrats are about the
only class that are laying low and watch
ing the opposition from every port hole,
feeling fully assured that unless there is
radical change the county of Jefferson
and the Ninth Congressional district will
go democratic by larger majority than
in the August election
The latest move on the political chess
board is that DR.. r. H. Moseley and Com
missioner Wilson, republican nominee of
Hne Fourth district have shaken hands
across the bloody chasm and the doctor
has pulled off his coat not to draw gore,
as was the case several weeks ago, but
to take up the cause of Mr.. Wilson and
canvass the district in his interest.
The next is that Louis e. Parsons has
withdrawn from the Mckinley and Ho-
bart electoral ticket and Congressman L.
II. Aldrich has served notice on Chair
man Robert Barbour of the Ninth Con-
gressional district, tina he will not stand
for reelection, and, therefore, declines
the republican nomination given him sew
eral weeks ago.
And this is not all. 1t has been public
talk on the streets for several days that
Capt. r. T. Kolb and Col p. G. Bowman
have announced there allegiance to Bry
an and Sewall, and will do all they can
to secure their election.
1t was stated in a special to the State
Herald of Sunday that L. j. Lawson of
Greensboro is the logical candidate for
the boilers, and that he will be nominated
for congress by the convention which
assemblies in Seals hall, this city, today.
Chairman Barbour of the district re-
publican executive committee, has called
a meeting of his committee in this city
tomorrow. 1t is not given out for what
purpose the meeting is called, but the
surmise is that it is for the acceptance of
the designations of Mr.. Parsons and Mr..
Aldrich and to put out another elector;
also to either indorse the boltocratic nom-
ination to be made today, or put out
congressional candidate in Mr. Aldrich's

THE ADVANCE on ARBITRATION.

The Lynchburg Advance comes out for
a peculiar sort of international arbitra-
ton; or. In other words, for arbitration
that does not arbitrate. As We have
said heretofore, arbitration which is con-
fined to two countrieS is very like no
arbitration at all. IT, for instance, the
United States and Great Britain have
difficulties of the kind which ought to
be settled by arbitration, there is even
now nothing in the condition OF things
as between those two countries which
would prevent such arbitration. Indeed
recent cases Of arbitration between those
two countries might be referred to; but
we repeat that whenever either of those
nations desired 10 enforce its opinion
as 10 its rights, there would be no coun-
try to forbid.
The Advance says. amongst other
things:
THE Dispatch thinks that, while there
may be no danger OF war between the
United States and Great Britain grow
ing out Of any unsettled question. ii may
be we'll 10 take time by the forelock and
provide beforehand a means Of settling
all such international disputed questions
as may arise hereafter"
Whenever a strong and high-spirited
people believe and know that their just
rights have been invaded. or their ma
tional honor grossly insulted. they will
break away from all peaceful expedients
and seek redress at the lannon's mouth"
That is TO say, international arbitra-
ton is foredoomed TO be a failure.
Where, then. would be that kind Of ar
bitration which so many good people are
all the while endeavoring to induce the
most powerful nations in the world to
resort TO? What would be the value OF
arbitration Of that description?
After quoting the Brooklyn resolution,
which we reproduced the other day, the
Advance says:
This is no new idea. Many states
men Of this and other countries have
entertained it, among them Mr.. Webster.
who held a fond but illusory. dream Of
a day soon 10 come when the sword
should be turned into the ploughshare.
and when the discordant notes OF war
should no longer break upon the melody
of the shepherds reed. That day will
be ushered In with the millennium. and no
sooner"
We NoupA WHETHER AIT. NtbSItF ever
INDUCED in such day-dreams. though he
was the author of that celebrated SEN
tence. which he employed once in the
United States Senate. when speaking
OF England's drum-beat keeping time with
the hours. etc. etc.
We quote the Advance again:
The Dispatch apparently Though IFS
language here is not eXpliciO gives its
sanction TO a plan OF international ar
bitration. which provides for the en-
forcement' OF its awards by enough ma
lions TO compel obedience on the part
OF any recalcitrant party. To this the
United States never would. or certain
" never should. consent"
No. We only say that. as an alleged
criminal law is no law at all II there
be no penalty for its violation. so
arbitration which could not be enforced
by public opinion or the sword would
be no arbitration at all.

SENATOR VEST AND CUBA.

In the United States Senate, on Thurs
day, in a speech which seems to have
been one worthy OF William l.. Yancey or
Daniel Webster, MIR. Vest, Of Missouri,
said that II we neglect our duty in the
case Of Cuba it will curse US. We quote:
Shall We the great exemplar OF re-
publican institutions throughout the
world, declare. that in our opinion. the
people Of Cuba are able to maintain
their independence and have achieved IT?
Are we 10 wait until that island is de-
stroyed by fire and sword? Are we,
Christian and God-fearing people TO
stand silent and dumb while the Spanish
Governor. called a general. declares mat
he intends 10 pen up the people OF CUBA
and butcher them into subjugauon TO the
Spanish throne? Sir. II we DO H. Goa
will curse us II We DO this thing, ana
stand here until a desert has been made
OF that splendid island you may be Ger
tain that the time viii come when there
will be retribution upon US as a people
because we have not been true 70 the
task assigned US by Providence. because
We have not cherished the legacy OF self
government as begueathed TO us by our
fathers"
And much more OF the same sort, OF
better. We fear that Spain would prefer
the destruction OF Cuba TO the independ-
ence Of that island.
Mr.. Vest made a speech which might
be styled a lingo speech.
