KILLED BY A THUG.


esee in front of r. Jackson's saloon
Emmett Fox, who had just re-
turned from Old Genesee, whore
there was a dance, came to Cen
espc, tied his team to the hitching
post in front of X. JacksOn's saloon
He stepped inside of Jackson's
saloon and while in there played
couple of games Of billiards; after
short time he came out of the saloon
unhitched his team and it is sup
posed he was getting in the sleigh,
ready to return to the dance, when
shot was heard by a number of
people in the city. Mr.. Russell,
stopping at the Grand Central ho-
tel, directly opposite where the
shooting occurred, came across the
street and saw something he sup
posed was a man. He went into
saloon and informed the men there
that he thought a man was shot
and was lying ON the ground in
front of the saloon. They found
the dead body Of Emmett Fox.
The ball entered the lett cheek
and ranged upward, lodging in the
brain.
The team, being unhitcbed, ran
away, making considerable noise
DR.. l.. J. Harvey saw the team pass
his door and saw a man running on
the next street south. Men were
sent in all directions in search Of
the fleeing man. The doctor, in
company with Deputy Sheriff Bun
dy, Con Monahan, John l.. Hays,
Elmer Duncan and others went to
where the man was seen by the
doctor and where his tracks were
found and followed.
The murderer took all directions
Of The compass except east. The
main direction taken by him was
northwest. There was a slight fall
of new snow and by this means he
could be tracked. On the trail
made by these four men they found
where the murderer had twice
craWled into straw stacks, and it is
presumed when he saw the eight
coming toward him he again pulled
out for life. Bundy, Monahan, DIR.
Hays and Duncan followed the
trail IA hours until 1890 p. m. of
the 22d, when they were overtaken
by Robert Near. At this time the
snow wal melting and the trail was
hard to follow. They were in a
short distance of Steptoe canyon in
Washington The four men that
had been following him so long were
tired out They nired team and
returned to Genesee.
There have been several theories
advanced why the murder was com.
mitted. But the most plausible
one is that Fox had some money.
known to this party. Two men
were seen standing by the saloon
by several parties and on exam
ination after the shooting footprints
were found. 1t is supposed that
when Emmett Fox came out of the
saloon, unhitched his team and was
getting in the sleigh a demand was
made upon him for his money. He
refusing, and the robber seeing that
1t was failure and being recos-
nized, pulled the trigger of the re-
volver before he thought, The only
chance then was run for life

COMMENCEMENT AT MARION.
Resume of the Exercises at the Female
 Seminary.

Seminary.
 Marion, May 28.-(Special) l)-Marion
 has been full of visitors the past week,
 the occasion being the commencement
 exercises of the Marion Female seminary.
 This is one of the oldest female schools
 in the south, now in it's sixtieth year,
 and it's graduates are scattered all over 1the country.
 Prof. James D. Wade, it's present schol-
 arly president, is very popular, and when
 the times again become prosperous the
 seminary will regain it's old-time patron
 age. On Friday night, May 22 the fol- lowing senior essays were read before a packed audience in the chapel of the in- stitute, where all the exercises were
 held ''The Three Sweetest Words in
 the English Language Mother, Home Lovelace; Be Not Simply Good, but Good for Something" ]" by Miss Annie Ju- lia Scott; life, Its Harmonies and Dis cords" by Miss Estelle Lovelace, and "Ad Astra per Aspera," by Miss Marie Lee Wilson. fvee's 4 1T
 The baccalaureate sermon was preach ed by Rev. A. J. Lamar of Selma in the Presbyterian church. The sermon was an able one and the music by the young ladies of the seminary very beautiful On Monday, the 25th, the baccalaureate address was. delivered by Rev. Bertram Brown of Marion and diplomas given to the following graduates: Misses Grace Lovelace, Annie Scott, Marie Lee Will son, Estelle Lovelace, Anna Fuller, Alma Mclaughlin and Willie May Walton. Monday night the work of the art stu dents was on exhibition. The art de- partment is presided over by Miss Mary Jones, who has a wide and enviable rep utation as a teacher. For many years she has spent the summer months in the best studios of Europe, and her pupils get t1,a nf TIT The exhibition this year, in crayon work in water colors and in oil, was, as usual most excellent. The solar type is not allowed at all, but everything is sketched from nature. ep
 Tuesday night the chapel was throng- ed to hear the grand annual concert Space will not permit of the publication | of the programme, but the music, all of | it, both vocal and instrumental, was ex- cellent. Professor Wade and his faculty are to be congratulated upon the splendid work of the session, as evidenced by the exhibitions of the various departments.

ANTI-BOND BILL WILL PASS
tcontinued From. First Page.l

(Continued From First Page.) fbe enfferere2 the neyys received this morning from the scene of the catastro- phe being tp the effect that the local phy- scians would be unable to promptly at tend the wounded. They left for St. Louis immediately.
 Consideration was then resumed of the conference report upon the sundry civil appropriation bill
 A vigorous fight was waged over the question of concurring in the amendment appropriating $60,0 ,000 to make necessary alterations in the New York postoffice building for the benefit of the courts held there The friends of the amendment were successful, 90 to 32, and by the vote the house concurred in the amendment. Then, on motion of MT. Cannon, the house reconsidered the vote by which 1t had yesterday insisted to the disagree ment to the amendment appropria ting $43, 900 for the improvement of the build ing at Little Rock, Ark. A further con- ference was ordered. -,ss
 Discussion was resumed of the con- tested election case of Johnson vs. Stokes, from the Seventh South Carolina district, MT. OVerStreet, republican, of Indiana, speaking in favor of seating Johnson.
 It was developed in his remarks that there were four reports in the case, the majority agreeing to the republican prop osition that Stokes was entitled to retain his seat. Chairman Mccall was of the opinion that neither party to the contest was elected. Overstreet argued that, un- der the concessions made by more than a majority of the committee that the registration law of South Carolina was unconstitutional the voters who had been deprived of the opportunity to vote, having endeavored to do so, should have their votes counted. Were that done the result must be, contended MT. Overstreet, to establish the right of Johnson to the seat. -...
 The views of Representative Codding, republican, of Pennsylvania, upon the case, were read by MT. DeArmond, demo- crat of Missouri, member of the com- mittee, the author himself being absent.
 MT DeArmond argued the case upon the theory that the only question involved was whether, under the conditions pre- vailing at that time, the contestee was elected, or should the case be referred to the people? Under no condition, he con- tended, could Johnson be entitled to the seat.
 At the conclusion sofy Mr. DeArmonds speech, which occupied an hour and half, the house at 5.15 o'clock adjourned until tomorrow.

TO PROPERTY HOLDERS
A Notice From the Mayor in Reference to
 Cleaning Sidewalks
To the Citizens of Birmingham:

To the Citizens of Birmingham:
 Your attention is respectfully directed to an ordinance requiring property hold CTS and tenants to keep their sidewalks clear of grass and weeds and other ob- structions.
 Ten Q01 days from this date the police department will strictly enforce this or dinance. The present condition of many sidewalks is simply dlsgraceful Allow me to express the hope that the pride of every neat and tidy householder will be so enlisted in this matter, so universally practiced in the we'll ordered and thrifty cities of the north and east as to make 1t unnecessary for the police authorities to make arrests under the ordinance, which applies as well to vacant lots as to those improved.
 I beg to say in this connection that nothing makes a place so attractive as well kept grass borders on either side of pavements in the front of your prop erty. Very respectfully,

 This daily contact for year after year with such troubles gives experience. Ex- perience Is essential to success
 My Medical Dispensary was established in the city of Birmingham August 8, 1887, for the exclusive cure of Private Dis eases. Privacy is one of it's special fea- lures. It is so arranged that one patient never necessarily sees another People who have social relations to sustain ap- preciate this.

 Athens May 28.-(Special.)- )-The best till the last is scrptural order of ar rangement. This has been faithfully fol- lowed out in the exercises at the North Ala bama Agricultural school Last night was given the annual exhibition of the departments of elocution and music. Just two years ago these departments were originated, organized and placed under the care of Mrs. Blaln of Clncin- natl. She has brought order out of chaos Two years have shown the tireless, inde- fatigable teacher, who saw from the be- sistency has been drawing her pupilage towards their great high level There is scarcely home in Athens that has not in the family competent critic or art bellies lettres and music. ThesAthenian audience, from this fact, has been called hypercritical. While this is not true, a very high order of excellence Is de- manded. There Is no place where true merit and excellence more readily re- ceive their due need of honor.
 Mrs Blain's commencement exercises reached this exacting demand and wene far beyond. "Sappho," the old Greek |lplay in four scenes, was never better rem dered to the liking of any audience. It was one of the highest marks of excel fence ever scored in the town. No the
 
 the place surpassed it's excellence. It will be remembered as one of the greatest literary achievementsi in the hls- tory of this cultured people. aai aks;s Men and women who have enjoyed the distinction of hearing the. best artistic ! talent of the whole country sat fixed statues of delighted attention through each scene, and burst as wildly into ap- Iplause each time the curtain fell as the rest of us.
 One enthusiastic citizen of the town offered $25 upon his part to have "a repeti- ton of the play. -" n The first diplomas in the history of the institution were awarded last night. Two young men had finished the prescribed course of study, Walter R. Orr of Deca- tur and J. Greer Mason of Athens In a well chosen speech by. the president the honors were awarded these voting gentle men. Young Capt, Greer Mason closes his school life at the institut tfon- wi thout mark of demerit against him. He leaves a spotless character and a, pure | name on the honor roll of the institution.

A man of average natural ability

A man of average natural ability,
broadened by a busy life in the varied
field Of professional, business and
political experience, Mr.. Circuit comes
before the people of Vermont as a
candidate for governor in the party
that will ratify at the polls ia Septem-
Der its choice in convention.
There is nothing that has been
truthfully said in favor Of Mr.. Stick
ney's candidacy which cannot be even
more strongly urged for Mr.. Grout.
Add to this his varied and successful
career and it is no reflection on the
other worthy aspirant to say that
Mr.. Circuit is much better qualified to
represent the agricultural and bust
ness interests of Vermont, al time
when the most careful and conserva-
tive administration is demanded.
Already there appears to be
strong sentiment in favor of Mr..
circuit and it is not too much to hope
and expect that the Republicans will
place him at the head of their ticket
and ratify the choice at the polls in
September by one of the largest ma
jorities ever given Republican can
didate for governor in this State
NorthfeLd NeaOs.

TAXATION IN ARMENIA.

An investigation into the causes of
the Armenian dissatisfaction with the
Turkish rule has been made by Rus
sian officer, Col. Lazareff; and in a
pamphlet on the subject he gives
| some facts relative to the ''varied
and original" tax system imposed on

sessments:
1. An exemption tax paid for re-
lief from military service, amounting
to about $3.50 per year. This is i'm
posed on every member of the family
pied persons are exempt. If a head
of large family is unable to pay the
tax, he is punished by arrest and fog
ging, and his household goods or COW
must be sold to satisfy the tax col
lector.
2. A tax on the land and crops
from ST to Sc per acre, according to
the quality of the land, and one
eighth Of the value of the harvest.
3. An orchard tax. Every one

annually.
4. Hay tax-about 50 for every
eight wagon-loads.
5. For each cottage tax of $3.50.
6. For stable, from 81 to So, ac-
cording to size and cost.
Z. A marriage tax of so cents on
