CAPT. 0ONELSON SUSPENDED
Charged With lnfracton of Section 86 of Po- lice Rules and Regulations-s Con
 fdent of Exoneration.

Capt. J. B. Donelson of the police force has been suspended from duty pending an investigation by the board of police commission of a charge preferred by ChiefT. c. Mcdonald.
 The charge preferred is for violating section S4 of the rules and regulations governing the Birmingham police force and reads as follows:
 No officer connected with the police department will be permitted to com municate with any otber police authori- ties, officers of state or county, or n- dividuals on police affairs, unless such communica tionS are written and convey ed through the chief of police. Any in- formation received by any officer of this department from any police authorities, officers of any state or county, or individ- uals on police affairs must be communi- cated to the chief of police on receipt of such information. Any officer violating any provision of the above rule will be subject to suspension or dismissal from the force.
 The charge against Captain Donelson was occasioned because of his having made an arrest without consulting Chief Mcdonald previous to taking action in the matter.
 Captain Donelson in conyersing with State Herald reporter with reference to the matter said that he felt sure of be- Ing exonorated when an investigation Is had.
 He said that about the hour when he usually goes to dinner a party came to him and said there was a man at the Alice furnaces who had stated that he was wanted in Tennessee for a violation of the law, and that if he (Captain Donel- son3 would come to the furnaces al once the man could be captured. Fearing a de- lay might cause a failure to arrest the man he, instead of going to dinner, went to the designated place and captured the man, who gave his name as Nathan Pow CTS and acknowledged that a warrant for him had been issued at Huntland, Tenn : Ie is said to have stolen $200 from the postofflce.
 Captain Donelson said he would have conferred with Chief Mcdonald. but as owe stated thought delay would be z ngerous.
 Postoffice Inspector Whitehead of Chat tanooga was notified of the capture of Powers and an officer was sent here who returned yesterday afternoon to Chattanooga with the prisoner.

BRIDAL TOUR ON A TANDEM.
How Charles Hanauer and Bride Outwitted
 Their Wedding Guests.

Their Wedding Guests
 Lexington, Ky, Sept. 90.-Charles Ha- nauer and his bride, formerly pr. Stella Hunt, who were married in Cincinnati Wednesday, and immediately left on a wedding tour on tandem bicycle, are in Lexington awaiting fair weather and good roads. They arrived here Sunday evening, and are stopping at the Claren- don-Leland hotel When asked regard ing their marriage tonight the groom said;
 eve were married at my wife's home in Cincinnati Wednesday evening. It had gained circulation in some way that we were to take our bridal trip on a tandem, and number of our friends who had as- sembled at the wedding had declared Chey would pelt us with rice and old shoes. But we fooled them. I had sent up to the house the tandem the. previous afternoon, and had packed our luggage on it. To make our guests believe we had aban- doned the tandem idea, I had a carnage in waiting at the door.
 After the ceremony my wife and l went to our room and discarded our we'd ding garments for these bicycle CO.'S tumes To a vacant house next door a porter meanwhile carried our tandem. Then by way of the roof we reached the vacant house, went down into the next yard hurried across the lawn to the
 
 the now disappointed assemblage. We were pelted with no old shoes At the foot of Broadway we took the boat for Maysville A fog laid us out until o'clock Thursday afternoon.
 "The Cincinnati papers had reached Maysville ahead of us, and to avoid the big crowd that awaited us we rode on to a farm house twelve miles from Mays vile and spent the night. Friday and Saturday we spent on the road to Lex ington, stopping at Cynthiana Friday night and reaching Lexington Saturday evening We had intended to ride over to Frankfort yesterday, but the rain pre- vented We will remain in Lexington un- til the rain ceases, and then continue our tourney. We hope to reach Denver about the 1st of November"
 MT. and Mrs. Hanauer are attired in neat costumes of broadcioth, and look very neat awheel. They carry about twelve pounds of luggage and camera.

CORBETT. T.sHARKEY FIGHT OFF. Inability of the Fighters to Secure Purse
 the Cause ofthe Fiasco.

Inability of the Fighters to Secure Purse
 the Cause of the Fiasco.
 New York, Sept S0.-The proposed bat tie between James J. Corbett and Tom" Sharkey is off, owing to the inability of the San Francisco sporting syndicate to arrange matters satisfactorily with the principals Two Californian syndicates wanted the match. One of the syndicates was headed by Ed Groom, while the leading spirits in the other were J. Els worth and J. l.. Stockwell. Groom of- worth -Stockwell combination going Groom $2e00 better. Corbett accepted the S12eO0 offer conditfonally. He stipu- lated that Stockwell and Ellsworth must post S6000, which should be divided equally, between himself and Sharkey if the contest did not take place.
 Corbett defended his position by saying that the cost of transportation for five trainers and training expenses together with time lost preparing for the fight would only be covered by the amount mentioned.
 Although stockwell and Ellsworth had a license from the authorities Of San Francisco they refused to post a cent of forfeit money. Mindful of the unfor- tunate experience of Maher and Choyn- ski, Corbett declined to enter further ne- gotiati tons with the San Francisco fistic promters and the match, in consequence, so far as he Is concerned. is off for good.
 Corbett denies that he intended to go it alone with Sharkey. He will now be- gin active training for his championship battle with Bob" Fitzsimmons As 1t is out of the question to arrange contest between the big fellows in this or. in fact. any other state in the union, Dan Stu art will probably secure the prize. He will probably have the big fellows meet in Mexico

 There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and, there fore, requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure manufactured by F. J.

BUTLER AND MAID.

ciety May Abandon Cycling.

They Rode on Rotton Row, and Now So
ciety May Abandon Cycling.
Can it be true that among the so
called upper classes in England the BIZ
cycle will soon be regarded as unworthy
of notice? Is the machine doomed and
will it be obliterated from the memory
Of those who set the fashion or remem-
bered only to be despised? II seems a
hard fate for an innocent wheel, and
yet nothing can be done to prevent the
catastrophe.
The butler and the meid of "a we'll
known family" were recently seen on
bicycles in Rotten row. 1t was not a
dream, it was not nightmare; it was
a sad and awful reality. They were Wis.,
ible to every one except two blind men,
and the worst of it all was they rode
we'll, the pretty maid attracting good
deal of attention by her grace and the
butler commanding respect by his skill
full handling of his machine. If they
had bungled, if they had managed to
get run over, that would have been one
thing; but they looked as we'll as their
betters, and that was fatal.
Glass distinctions are very rigid con-
Germs. People may come together here
after, but until the hereafter makes its
appearance they must be separated into
cliques If the poor man dimes at IL,
the rich man makes the dinner hour s
in the evening, and now that buffers
and maids have taken to the bicycle it
ceases to be an aristocratic vehicle and
must be abandoned.
Perhaps there is queerer world than
this floating somewhere in space, but
we haven't heard of it-New York

THROUGH THE SPOkES.

If you want to be in the swim, take
morning spin and an afternoon drive,
with the proper costume for each occa-
sion.
A piece Of chewing gum stuck on the
tire and your handkerchief tied over it
is good thing for puncture in case
of emergency. 1t will allow you to ride
your wheel home.
Be sure to take your wheel away with
you. 1t will be swift and economical
way to take short excursions, besides
enabling you to join the bicycle parties
which are feature of all summer re-
sorts.
Be careful In the selection of "a hat, for
it will make or mar your bicycle cos
tune. Tam O'Shanters are only becom-
ing to very young faces, and the shops
show others in great variety more suit
able to women of maturer years.
Four dress weights sewed to the I'M
derside of the hem of the skirt will pre-
vent the annoyance of the skirt blowing
up in front. Cover them with silk OF
wooden stuff, SO they will not scratch
the frame if they happen to strike.
The prominent knee motion which
makes many women look so ungraceful
ON a wheel is due to the improper ad.
justment of the saddle. See that your
saddle is high enough to allow you,
while sitting ON it, to stand straight on
the lower pedal. Chicago Record.
