Shooting Bears.

A few days agoCharles Morse started
sfom his home in Runford Center. TAX
ing the shortest cut. also his rifle along
with him. After travelling short time
in the woods he came TO signs of a
bear He crept along easily in the face
of the wind and as he came on to a
ledge he saw bear few rods ahead
He brought his gun to his shoulder and
fired. The bear turned a somersault.
and started toward Mr.. Morse, who
then put another shell into his rifle and
fired the second time. The bear took
another somersault and started the
second time for his aSsailant This
time he stood two jumps in less time
than it takes to write it. He then
stood on his launches about 20 feet
away and started in for the ARRAY in
sober earnest. Good aim was taken at
the bears breast and he fell at the
third shot without struggle Mr.
Morse says that when he fired the
second shot the bear gave the worst
yell that he ever heard. The bear
weighed 113 pounds. II was a male.
and the fur is exceptionally good
AS Chas. Hodsdon of Topstield, was
on his way home few night ago about
4 O'Clock. Alden Dave met him and
told him there We're two bears in the
orchard on the VIM. Malkson farm
which is better known as the Stoddard
farm. Dave Thought if they went
back together they could bring down
both bears. Eager for the fun and
prize of big game. they went back and
crawled and crept around so not to dis
turb their neighbors and after good
deal of trouble came out in full view
of the bears which We're picking and
eating the apples al 2.40 gait After
consultation they made up their
minds to both shoot at once at the
largest one. So they took up their gun
for good aim, when Hodsdon sud
denly said: Hold. we may be mis-
taken" His word of warning was not
spoken d bit too soon: closer exanlina-
ton disclosed man simply batting his
horse on the apples while he was try
ing to get his share, too, little thinking
that he was so near two men who never
fail to hit the mark at which they aim
1t was narrow escape from another
forest tragedy, too many of which. by
far, are being reported from the Maine
woods.

BIDDING FOR INCONSISTENCIES
The West Alabama Land Company Looking After Immigrants Hon.
 w. A. HandIey Says.

| representative of the State Herald had pleasant chat with Maj. w. A. Handley of the Moore & Handley Hard ware company yesterday While Major Handley makes his home in Roanoke Randolph county he is identified with several Birmingham enterprises and was one of the main factors in the building up of this city.
 q see, Major" said the reporter, that you have organized land company in west Alabama"
 Not at all. am president of the West Alabama Land company, which owns in round numbers 22684 acres of land To- cated in Lamar, Fayette and Marion counties. Our company however, is nearly ten years old and we hold our land deeds from the government and signed by MT. Cleveland. I suppose the public came in possession of the company's movements from the fact that we have been bidding for immigrants to look at our property. Why. we have some of the finest agricul- tural lands in Alabama. It is all tim bered and adapted to the raising of cot ton and the cereals, truck farming, fruits of all kinds, and, besides, the Warrior coal fields extend directly into it. The Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham railroad nearly divides the property and
 taken altogether it is the very place to locate colony of those western home seekers you have been talking about"
 The major became very much enthused on the question of immigration and the general prospects of Birmingham and all perity is rising again, and many, like himself, who have been in their shells for the past few years awaiting a change in the tide are being warmed to life again.

HE BANKRUPTCY BILL
s AL BILL AND AMENDMENTS

Washington, April 30.-Mr. Mccall. re- publican, of Massachusetts, chairman, reported from elections committee No. the resolutions agreed upon by the com mittee on the contests of John A. Brown Vs. John M. Allen from the First Missis- sippi district, of w. P. Radcliffe vs. John &. Williams from the Fifth Mississippi district, and of A. M. Newman vs J. c. Spencer from the Seventh Mississippi district, declaring the contestees-Allen, Williams and Spencer-entitled to the seats severally occupied by them. The ground of contest in each case was that certain section of the Mississippi con- stltutlon relating to elections contraven- ed the law of congress providing for the representation of Mississippi in the house and that no valid election was or could have been held under that section. The committee said In it's report that even were they to declare the Mississippi con- stitution invalid in respect of the matter attacked by contestants that would not operate to deprive the state of represent ation in the house, and, in view of the fact that no evidence was taken on the subject, it was thought best and right to confirm the titles of the sitting mem- bers to their seats
 Five hours were devoted to a further discussion of the bankruptcy bill the general debate closing with todays ses- sion. The principal speakers were Messrs. Dearmond democrat of Missouri; Taw- ney, republican, of Minnesota, and Bal ley, democrat of Texas, against the bill, and Messrs. Burton, republican, of Ms souri; Culberson, democrat, of Texas, and Ray. republican, of New York, in favor of the bill. The latter two admitted their conversion from an attitude of opposition to the bill containing the involuntary feature. The discussion developed the fQnt hn 10 ati lIxrt lmons in favor of bill providing for vol- untary bankruptcy, the differences of opinion being as to the incorporation of the involuntary feature.
 At 5:40 the house adjourned until to- morrow.
 The Senate.
 Immediately after the routine business the naval appropriation bill was taken up, the pending question being the amendment offered by Mir German yes- terday reducing the number of battle- ships provided for in the bill from four to two, and the amendment offered by MT. Quay to increase the number to six.
 The naval bill had the undivided atten- ton of the senate today, but when the session closed no progress had been made upon 1t beyond the exclusion on a point of order of MT. Quay'S amendment to in- crease the number of battleships from four to six. MT Germans amendment to reduce the number to two held its place before the senate at adjournment.
 The speeches were made by MT. White, democrat, of California, in favor of coast defenses rather than of an increase of the navy; by Mr Allen, populist of Me- braska, predicting the collapse of the democratic and republican parties-ths former within three months and the lat- ter by the 4th of March, 1901, and by Mr. German, democrat, of Maryland, In en- forcement of his views as to the necessity of more economy in appropriations
 The senate at 6 D. m. adjourned until tomorrow.

IRON TRADE REVIEW.

Cleveland, O., April S0.-The Iron Trade Review today says:
 Iron ore continues to be the most active factor in the market. There is no dis position to let go the expectations gener- ally cherished of good business in iron in 1896, but the absence of present SUD- ports for this faith is everywhere ad- mitted. The rail mills have least cause for complaint among the steelmakers. Street rails however, owing to the diff ficulty of financing city and interior town railroad projects, are not large factor just now. Structural mills are only moderately booked. There is an immense amount of work projected. As to the trend of prices during the wait no general statement would be accurate. There is weakness here and there, but it is needless to say nothing has advanced, barring wire nails, which the pool marks up 15 cents May I But for the most part values are stationary The billet pool has accurate tab on steel yet to be de- livered to middlemen. and 1t is estimated that 75,000 tons will cover it. There has been some little competition among bro kers for April and May billets, and prices have been made 50 and 75 cents and even more below those of the pool The pro- posed wire rod pool is beset with con f1icts of interest. Large steel mills with no direct interest in the price of wire nails and anxious to dispose of large tonnage of rods. which would not be counted in their billet allotment, have less concern than rod and nail mills In the past week there has been no change in pig iron prices-Bessemer at $13.25 Pittsburg foundry at $8.25, Birmingham at SIP to $1225. valley furnace for No. 1 and forge at $675 and Birmingham at $10.50 in the valley.
 There are irregularities in the price of plates at Pittsburg. While $1.35 for tank steel is minimum with some mills, a contract for bridge plates has been ta- ken at $125. Bar iron Is unchanged as to demand and prices.

to the court and jury, but even anxiuos to do so.
 When court opened Attorney Craw- ford asked for the letters written by Jackson. When they were produced Crawford passed them to the prisoner, who read them seemingly with great care. After he had finished the attorney for the defense arose and said: May 1t please your honor, I desire Scott Jackson to take the stand"
 The accused proceeded to the witness stand. the oath was administered and in reply to questions from Attorney Craw- ford he said that he was born at Wis oasset,i Me-, March l. 1869. His father was port captain of the International Ma rine company, the boats plying between Jersey City and Antwerp, Belgium. He had made several trips abroad with his father; had attended school in Jersey City and Green Castle up to the time his father died. He was then IA years old.
 After his fathers death he secured em- ployment as a messenger and later was promoted to the freight bureau of a rail- road company. Three years ago he was discharged from that position. Jackson detailed his life up to the time he first met Pearl Bryan, which was during the holidays of 1894. He referred to the con- versa tion he had with Will Wood at va rious times on the subject of Pearl Bry- ans condition. He said that Wood was very much concerned about her, and said If something was not done soon he would have to leave town. .-.
 Jackson said that the last time he saw Pearl alive was the Wednesday before her body was discovered. He says it was on Tuesday night that he was with her at WallingfordS saloon.
