 The exercises will begin promptly at or immediately on the arrival of the Montgomery accommodation, which is due to reach the city about 7:30, when on time.
 No special programme has yet been agreed upon, but the meeting will doubt less be presided over by Chairman Vaughn and pr. R. F. Mosely Jr, will act as secretary.
 Weber's band may or may not play-all owing to circumstances and the weather or previous engagements or something else.
 Col. Faulkner may not be invited to ad- dress the assembly, as it is not yet certain
 
 for the occasion.
 Gov. Jones, it is already learned, can not be present on account of professional duties.
 Col. Tom Clarke, it is also learned, is unwell, and can't possibly be present.
 The editors of the Advertiser cannot possibly attend as the legislature will be in session at that time and they cannot leave, but have promised to have a repre- Eertative present. to report the meeting in full.
 As yet none of the local Palmer and Buckner supporters or regularly initiated members of the Mckinley Aid Society" have agreed to participate, as their busi- ness which has been more or less ne- glected during the past three months re- quiring their undivided attention.
 There will be present, however, full attendance of the old time dyed-in-the- wool republicans and the colored breth- ren have promised to be on hand rain or shine, sleet or snow hail or storm, and the blowout" will no doubt prove roaring success.

 AT O'BRIEN'e.
A FINE COMPANY.

Barlow Bros, minstrel company, under the management of M. A. Moseley, gave two performances yesterday, matinee and evening.
 The performances were first-class in every respect. The first part is elegant ly set with satin, stars and stripes, and fine outing suits, and is called the "out- ing of the sports" The jokes were new and the singing was a feature. Especial mention may be made of the song and dance by the Higgins Bros. The song Honey Boy" with the boy in the gallery, by Harry Ward, and, Just Tell Them That l Saw It," by Fred Russell, The Ballads by Messrs. Cruckett Rale and Samson were finely rendered. The vocal director, MT. c. R. Rummell, deserves credit for the fine singing. The olio is good all throug Ederhardt, the jug gler, was good. Berry and Weeks set the audience wild and Harry Ward, the next president of minstrelsy, was unani- mously elected. The song and dance and Pas-ma-la was feature, and Jella, the Frog Man, a wonder. In fact, the whole show is great, and we predict great sue cess for manager Moseley this season.

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.
Dr. Brown and Read Parker on tht
 Mental and Physical Effects.

Dr. Brown and Read Parker on the
 Mental and Physical Effects.
 Tn the paper on "The Mental and Phys teal Effects of Alcoholic Beverages" !" which he will read at the Commercial club rooms on next Thursday evening, Dr. Brown will try to present in a semi scientific way the reason for campaign of education against drinking. He says there is wide field of truth between the extreme views of whisky dealers and drinkers, and those temperance reform CTS who have much zeal, but no knowl- edge of the nature of the disease they are trying to cure. Alcoholism can be combatted successfully. only by a difu- sion of knowledge of the plain facts of it's natural history and recognition of the mental hygiene which such knowl- edge implies. It is now more than 200 years since epilepsy and other nervous diseases were finally, in civilized coun- tries at least, given over to the domain of scientific medicine, and 1t Is time that alcoholism be recognized as a kindred disorder and be accorded the same bene- fit. The subject is certainly one of im- portance, and the paper ought to be in- structive and entertaining.

Grand Larceny Seems to Have Been the
 Predominant Crime.

Grand Larceny Seems to Have Been the
 Predominant Crime.
 Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 7.-Hon. W. c. Fitts,. the attorney-general, has issued his biennial report In it he says 121ts criminal cases have been disposed of dur ing two years, and of this number, 6619 resulted in conviction 223 in acquital and 625 cases were abated or withdrawn. The ten out, is arranged with taste and con- tans the following:
 From the general consolidated state ment and from former reports of this office it appears that criminal cases have been disposed of in the state during the several biennial periods of the last ten years as follows: In 18S5-S6, Il OH cases; in 1SS7-SS, 8,572 cases, 0wo circuits not reported). In 1SS9-90, 12,274 cases. In 1S91-92, 12,433 cases, one circuit not re- ported for each year. In 1S93-94, 11,694 cases; and in 1S95-96 12,11S cases as above stated.
 Of the 6,619 convictions in the past two years there were twenty sentences to death, 1,4SS sentences to the penitentiary, 2.070 sentences to hard labor for the coun- ty POP sentences to jail and 2799 fines im- posed and secured; 5 persons escaped af- fer conviction, died and 21 were sent to the insane hospital; 17 fines were remit ted by the trial judge and new trials were granted
 The 20 sentences to death were all TOT murder in the first degree.
 The period is unusual in that it pre- sents no instance in which the death penalty has been exacted for the crime of rape
 It appears that there were s77 cases of murder disposed of in the state. Of this number there were 56 convictions of mur- der in the first degree, 97 convictions of murder in the second degree, 47 convic- tions of manslaughter in the first de- gree, 27 convictions Of manslaughter Tn the second degree.
 Grand larceny seems to have been the predominant crime, there being 1,512 cases of that offense. Of this number 1.O01 con- victions were secured, 544 defendants sen fenced to the penitentiary, 45l to hard la bor for the county, to jail, to the in- sane hospital and in one instance the circuit court granted new trial.
 The kindred crimes of burglary TOD bery and larceny Gin both degrees) root up 2,S92 cases, with 2,051 convictions, 97l fences to hard labor for the county, be- sides jail and fine punishments for the msdemeanor of petit larceny.
 There were 1326 cases of carrying con cealed weapons. in 6S7 of which convic- lions were secured.
 The per cent. of convictions in cases disposed of for the past two years throughout the state is about 65 per cent, an increase over the per cent for the biennial period which immediately pre- ceeded the present one
 The per cent. of convictions in the sew eral courts ranges from IS to 75, as will be seen by reference to the several tabuIated statements which shows the records of fhe solicitors separately
 Ont of 12.118 cases disposed of, solic- ftors have entered nolle prosequies in D. s44. Thus 1t appears that the time of public officers and the money of the state
