LOOKED LIKE RIOT.
Senator Tilman and Congressman Brumm Have It tiot-The PennsyIyanian Was
 Put in the Hole.

Pottsville. Pa, Sept. 12.-Representa- tive c. N. Brumm of this district and Sen ator Tillman of South Carolina met upon the same stage in public hall at Miners vile. the home of the congressman, last evening, and the greatest excitement pre- vailed during the discussion. Personali ties were indulged in between the two speakers, and a riot was feared.
 Mt Tillman had gone there to hear silver orator named Thorpe deliver a speech Upon the conclusion of Thorpe's speech the senator was invited to speak, but declined, but would yield, he said, if MT. Brumm would repeat what he said of the senator in a speech at POttsville couple of weeks ago ill a speech in re- ply to one made by Mir. Tillman the week previous. MT. Brumm last evening as ssumed the stage and a bitter discussion between he and the senator ensued.
 Senator Tillman, in opening his re- marks, after his invitation to Represent tative Brumm, stated that the represen- tatiVe had criticised him and his people and state in his Pottsville speech, and he was there now to defend himself. He re- ferred to MT. Brumm as a traitor to principle. He then begun to query him as to his former advocacy of the green back theory. He forced MT Brumm to admit that he believed that with the gov ernment's stamp paper money could be made.
 To this the senator retorted by saying that if the fiat of the government could make money out of paper, why could it not make money out of silver He said he was not in favor of protective tariff, but he would go as far as any man to make the land of this country as profit able as possible so that the products of labor would receive the best remunera- ton. MT. Brumm referred to slavery as rf which labor in this country had suffered and that the rebellion of the south was the effort of that section to continue the iniquitous system of bondage.

CAN'T RAISE RATES

Says the Railroad Commission in 0 Letter
 to the Alabama Lines.
 Montgomery, Sept. 12.-(Special.) )-The railroad commission has had under con- sideraton for the past few days an ap- plication from one of the railroads look ing to some slight changes in local freight rates The question is one that has occesioned considerable inVestga- ton on the part of the commission, and after a careful review of the facts as presented it was decided to not allow the esta tablishment of any change which had as its purpose an advance of rates. In the letter addressed by the commission CTS to the general freight agent of the railroad which presented the petition the matter, after being fully discussed was concluded as follows: "It has been our ondeaVor to consider the changes that your tariff anticipates in a most inn partial and conservative spirit, and we are of the opinion that under no circum- stances can we allow you to make any change other than as indicated in the above When the prevailing low prices of all commodities are considered, and in additions thereto the disqualification at tending every branch of business, both mercantile and manufacturing, it would be an act of injustice on our part to per- init any of the railroads of Alabama to advance freight rates, however unim- portant the advance may seem. We are perfectly willing that you should have one tariff covering your lines in Ala bama, but we insist that it should be made upon a basis of an average of rates such as now have our approval

REQUIESCAT IN PACE.

The remains of MT. J. H. Edmonds were temporarily inferred in Oak Hill ceme- tery yesterday afternoon at o'clock.
 Mr. Edmonds was quite popular in Bir- mingham, and while not man who gath cred about him numerous friends, those who knew him best admired him most.
 He was an educated gentleman and constant student and his friends say hardly any subject could be broached that he was not thoroughly conversant with, and his opinions were often in de- mand.
 In business he was painstaking and thorough. He had always commanded a good salary and lived a his ease. When he first came to Birmingham and up to his death, so far as known, he made it a practice to send his mother each month a check for $50.
 In appearance MT. Edmonds was a very handsome man, and his manners would attract even the most careless ob- server His every department was that of a perfect gentleman. He was rather reserved, though not stiff, In his man. ners, and had but little to say even to his closest friends.
 A large number of the leading citizens of the city attended the funeral, and the casket was covered with beautiful and delicate flowers. The burial services were conducted by Rev. A. B. Curry, pas tor of the First Presbyterian church.
 The southern agent of the Union Cas- ualty company at New Orleans, of which MT. Edmonds was state agent, arrived yesterday and says his books and papers are correct and all right, and there will be due him more than enough to cover all expenses connected with the cost of interment.

FREE TO EVERY MAN.
TIE PRESCRIPTION OF A GREAT REMEDY
Which Cured Him After Everything Else
 Failed

Painful diseases are bad enough, but when a man is slowly wasting away with nervous weakness the mental forebod- ings are ten times worse than the most severe pain. There is no let-up to the mental suffering day or night. Sleep is almost impossible and under such strain men are scarcely responsible for what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea or sexual weakness, until it was question whether he had not better take dose ot poison and thus end all his troubles. But providentiql inspiration came to his aid in the shape of combination of medi- cines that not only completely rsetored his general health, but enlarged his weak emaciated parts to natural size and Vigor, and he now declares that any man who will take the trouble to send his name and address may have the pre- scription of this wonderful remedy free. Now, when 1 say free, l mean absolutely without cost, because I want every weak ened man to get the benefit of my expe- rience.
 I am not a philanthropist, nor do pose as an enthusiast, but there are thousands of men suffering the mental tortures or weakened manhood who would be cured at once could they but get such remedy as the one that cured me. Send me your name and address today. Do not try to study out how l can afford to pay the few postage stamps necessary to mail the prescription. but send for the remedy and learn that there are few things on earth that although they cost nothing to get, they are worth a fortune to some men, and mean a lifetime of happiness to most of us. Write to Thomas Slater, Box 1S1, Kalamazoo, Mich, and the prescrip- tion will be mailed in a plain sealed en- Velope. S-30-su&wed-u
