preaident Hoffman,s Statement.

Baltimore, Md, Oct. 10.-R. CurZon Hoffman, president of the Seaboard. Air Line returned from southern trip to- day. To Southern Associated Press re- porter he made the following statement regarding the status of the negotiations for the controlling interest in the Sea- board and Roanoke railroad. which is the parent company of the Seaboard Air Line
 q am operating the Seaboard Air Line in the interest of it's stockholders. Warned of coming trouble, number of the large owners have pooled our shares in the hands of a committee in whose ability and integrity have absolute con- fidence. That committee Is in control of the situation and I advise all stock holders to sign the pooling agreement without hesitation or delay, as 1t insures fair treatment to all signers alike. Be- yond this, have nothing to say, except that have given four years of unceasing care to the property at great cost to my self and have received for my service $10,- 900 salary per annum, and not $37, 800 as has been reported:"
 MT. Hoffmans admission that the sit-. uation is in control of the pooling com mittee is regarded as significant This is believed to mean that the New York syndicate will have to secure control through the committee MT. Hoffman re- fers to.
 General Gill. however. is still receiving options and reports that stockholders are signing his agreement daily.

MT. Bryan Winds Up the Week at St. Paul With Three Speeches-An Apol-
 ogy from Yale.

St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 10-Three fairly
 long speeches constituted Mr Bryan's tribute tonight to the fight for free silver
 that is being waged in Minnesota. After
 a number of brief talks to people at many
 stations along the line, he reached here
 this evening at 6:30 o'clock, accompanied
 by members of the state and local escort
 committees, and was taken to the Hotel
 Ryan.
 delegation of old soldiers from Min
 neapols and this city met and cheered
 him there. MT. Bryan. Ignatius DonneIly
 and other speakers, democratic and pop
 ulistic, were escorted to the auditorium.
 It was crowded to the doors, and the can
 didate received flattering reception MT: Bryan made his most important speech or the evening there. His audience did not warm up to his remarks at first, despite
 the greeting 1t had given him, but toward the conclusion of his address the enthu- siasm became rampant. His next speech was at the Grand opera house, where another congregation, equally as enthusiastic and quite as un- comfortably packed as that at the audi torium, had been waiting some time for
 his appearance.
 Then he went to Market hall and spoke
 briefly. It began to rain hard while MT. Bryan was addressing the crowd in Mar ket hall, and the open air meeting at
 Rye's park, the last on the programme, was abandoned
 MT. Bryan returned to the Hotel Ryan at Il o'clock and went to bed. During his speech at the auditorium
 Mr. Bryan was Interrupted several times
 by questions. One man wanted to know what was the cause of the Homestead strike and another asked how It would De easier to get silver from the silver kings
 than it was to get gold from the gold kings.
 S. Pierce, the chairman of the meeting, introduced MT. Bryan after Louis Nash had presented him with silver pen in be, half of the organized labor Bryan-Lind club of St. Paul.

SWINGING TO A LIMB,
GHAsTLY FIND NEAR ROCK CREEK CHURCH
Body That of NegrO-Who He Is or How He Came to Death Remains
 Mystery

News reached the sheriff's office yester- day morning that negro had been found hanging to limb of a tree near Rock Creek church. about six miles below Bes- semer and on the road to Toadvine. The information came from Bessemer and was transmitted to the sherlff's office by telephone by Deputy Sheriff Reeves.
 The coroner was at once notified and left for Bessemer, where he was to meet Deputy Reeves and with him go and view the remains.
 Who the negro was and why he was hung was not given out in the informa- tion. A State Herald reporter called at the sheriff's office and made inquiry as to the dead negro and the foregoing was all the information he could glean, as neither Sheriff OBrien nor Chief Clerk Strattord, who were the only ones present could speak further than what they had heard.
 The reporter, seeking further lhforma- ton regarding the negro, learned rom gentleman in this city that he heard MT. Reeves say in Bessemer that the negro had been shot to death, by whom, now eyer he did not say.
 The general impression seemed to pre- vail in Bessemer that the negro had peen captured by posse who were securing the woods in search of the partleS gulits or the mufuer or NIT. tAdiiuOiPh which occurred at the twenty-five mile post on the Birmingham and Toadvlne macada mixed road between the hours or :55 and a. m. Friday, and which was written up in yesterdays State Herald. and he answering tn description Of one or the negroes was shot to death by the angry men.
 Rumor had 1t that the negro had con fessed the crime, but reliable information could not be obtained.
 At the time of writing the foregoing Coroner Jones had not returned to the city and the result of his visit was un- known.
 News reached the sheriff's office yester- day that two negroes had passed through n Irondale whose descriptions tailed exact ly with those of the two negroes known to have been with MT. Falls the night pre- vious to his murder. ,
 Sheriff O'Brien at once telepnoneu lo Deputy Roebuck to come to his office with the dogs On arriving Chief Deputy War nook and Deputies Jones and RoepucN took the dogs and left for lrondale Tn hopes of running down the negroes.
 Joe Hungerford and Richard Chrlstian, the two negroes now in the county Jali, held on suspicion of being the murderers of MT. Falls, will not be dealt with untii further investigation is made into the crime.

NOT A HIGH ECCLEsIAsTIC.
The Successor of Bishop Keene Will Prol
 ably Be Plain Priest.

The Successor of Bishop keene VIII frop-
 ably Be Plain Priest.
 Washington, Oct. 10.-On the 21st, the heard of trustees of the Catholic uni- versity will meet in this city to select three names be submitted to Pope Leo XIII. who will designate one of three to be the successor to Bishop Keane, whose summary removal as rector of the uni versity has occasioned so much comment and has elicited so many expressions of sympathy and respect from Catholics and Protestants alike. It Is stated with much positiveness, and as emanating indirectly from the new papal delegate. Archbishop Martinelll. that the pope's wish is that the new rector of the university should not be a high dignitary of the church, but one holding no higher ecclesiastical office than that of secular priest. It is believed that the potent influence of the papal legation will be exerted to se- cure this result, the object being to step outside of all controversies of higher dig nitaries of the church, now menacing the progress of the university.

It is worst in the great central region of Ohio, Kansas and adjoining states: Crops fairly good in New Jersey and Maryland and adjoining parts of Penn syIyania and New York, also in the Rocky mountain valleys. The preliminary estimate of the yield of oats is 24.3 bushels per acre, against 9e. 6 a year ago; quality TAB ranging from 55 in Kansas to 1O4 in Montana.

It Seems That Bob Taylor Was Defending
 His Castle.

about 12 o'clock Bob Taylor shot one Wal ton Lane, wounding him in the arm and also in the right hip. The circumstances are about as follows: Lane, it is said, has made several attempts to attack Taylor during the last several weeks, but the men had made friends some days ago, and Taylor thought all trouble al an end. Last night about 12 o'clock Lane went to Taylor's house and tried to break in, and swore he would kill Taylor. Taylor asked him to leave his place, whereupon Lane, so Taylor says, thrust his gun in through A crack and snapped 1t at Taylor. Taylor fired three shots, with the result stated. Taylor has given himself up to the au- thorites. Both the men are white. The shooting occurred about two and one-half miles north of Warrior.
