Watson, first vice-presdent, and M. R. Glenndening, secretary, and Col. J. M. Lowe, chairman of the committee on ag- riculture of the Commercial club. All other delegates are expected to night and at noon tomorrow.

An elaborate lunch will be served on board the steamer After the excursion on the harbor the delegates will be landed at some of the great fer tilizer works and after inspecting them will be transported on a special train to Summerville, the suburb of Charles ton and winter resort for northern tour ists, and dined at 6.30 p. m. at the Pine Forest inn, leaving Summerviue at g O CLOCK D.

 On the morning of the 30th the bus mess of the convention will be com menced. President Fish's paper on "The Ways and Means to Facilitate Business Between the West and South" will prob ably be the first one read. Amongst the other papers to be read is one by Col. J. M. Lowe on "The agricultural and manufactured products of the west, their consumption and distribution through the south and their exportation through southern ports;" one by MT. Breedlove Smith of New Orleans upon How to increase the export and import commerce of the South Atlantic and gulf ports;" one by MT. Frederick B. Deberard of the Southern States exposition at Chicago upon "The manufacture of cotton goods in the south and the creation of southern and western depots and sales agencies for their handling and marketing"
 Amongst the prominent grain shippers from the west who will be delegates to the congress are MT. F. A. Pillsbury and Mir G. B. Peavey of Minneapolis, Minn.
 No previous session of the congress has ever been invested with the interest that attaches to its converting here on the 29th. The result of its deliberations must carry a vast weight of influence with both the shipping public and the railroads.

OLD FREE SILVER AT 16 TO 1
Certain to Carrk 3 National Democratic
 E aventiOn
TH[9 lAME KIND OF TICKET
Silver ps ations Will Come From the Yves. South, Ohio, Indiana, Mich ;S Aan, Illinois and Possibly
 Other States,

Representative Hernando D. Money of Mississippi, senator-elect from that state, spent few hours in Birmingham yester- day en route from Washington, D. C., to Jackson, Miss, to attend the democratic state convention, which Is to meet on Thursday.
 The only work of the Mississippi con- vention is to name delegates to the Chi cago national democratic convention, nominate presidential electors and adopt platform.
 Colonel Money saw Capt. Joseph F. Johnston while in the city and congrat- ulated him upon his great victory, saying with eager interest
 To a State Herald representatives, questions as to his impressions concern ing the Chicago convention, Colonel Mon- ey said:
 "Oh, we are going to carry that con- vention for free silver at 16 to 1.-the same kind of platform you adopted in Ala bama. Besides the west and south, Illi- nois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and, not unlikely, Iowa, will send free silver dele gatons to the convention and we shall control it by good, strong majority"
 The suggestion was made that Senator Brice of Ohio was going to take hand against silver.
 Yes" said Colonel Money, Senator Brice promises to be at Chicago. He ad- mits that the delegations, when they get to Chicago, will be for free silver, but says 1t will be all right before they leaye. Col. Ike Hill of Ohio says that means Brice Is going to buy us all out.
 My own belief" added Colonel Money, "is that we shall have a majority of the delegates and that they will stick; not only that, but that we shall nominate a candidate who will be elected
 Asked whether there had been much talk in Washington as to who would be the choice of the silver democrats, Col. onel Money said: There has been no booming of anybody for the nomination, but you may rest assured he will be @ man about whose position there is mo- one the people will know well enough to know where he has been as well as where he is.'
 Colonel Money said he would go to the Chicago convention as an interested spectator if not a delegate; that Missis- sippi would send an unyielding free sil- yer delegation.
 There are no visible signs of his recent encounter with Congressman Uriel s. Hall of Missouri on the person of the distinguished Mississippian except @ slight wound on the right hand, which he says was also sprained in the affray. The affair he said, was now entirely amcably settled. It had all grown out of a misunderstanding. MT. Hall had dis claimed intending any reflection upon Colonel Money by the remark at which the latter took offense.
 Colonel Money left on westbound Southern train at o'clock for Jackson.

BELIEVED TO BE GUILTY.
Joseph Cooking Seeks Safety in Jail From
 an Enraged Community.

Baltimore, April 27.-Joseph Cooking, accused of murdering his wife and sis ter-in-law at Hilltop, Md, Thursday night, was hurried to this city this morn ing from Laplata for safe keeping. There is not man, woman or child in all Charles county who believes other than that Cooking murdered his wife and sister-in-law" said Detective Gault as he aIghted with his prisoner today. we had to bring him to Baltimore to save him from possible lynching at the hands of infuriated citizens of his home place."
 The train left Laplata before day break and Cooking was met at the depot here by the patrol wagon, which con- veyed him to Marshal Frey's headquar- ters. The prisoner would not make a statement, nor would he answer any questions Marshal Frey will make an- other attempt to elicit some information from Cooking today. after which he will be taken to jail and kept there until his trial

PEARL BRYAN MURDER TRIAL.
A Very Sensational Story Shut Of by the
 Judges Ru1ing


 Cincinnati, April 27-Detective Grim took the witness stand in the Scott Jack son trial this morning and described the scene of the murder on the afternoon the dead body was found. In reply to ques- ton from the prosecutor, Grim stated that he searched Jackson's room on Feb ruary and found black pair of stock ings, a lady's pocketbook with a chain at- tached to it, two pairs of white gloves, a cap in the closet and letters addressed to Jackson. Witness was questioned as to the statements made by Jackson and WaIling at the time of their arrest. After detailing the charges and counter-charges of the prisoners in Mayor CaldwelPs of flee on February 6, the judge instructed the jury to exclude from their m nds all of the testimony of Mayor Caldwell and Detective Grim relating to anything which WalIing may have charged Jack son with and which Jackson denied. This ruling of Judge Helm shuts off a very sensational story, part of which is that of Walling about Jackson that he was go- ing to kill Pearl Bryan with cocaine.

 Mardis Woods Condition.
 MT Mardis Woods condition has im- proved to such an extent that his father, Judge Wood of Selma, took him home yesterday where he can be nursed by his relatives until his recovery is complete. MT. Wood said to friend before he left the city that he hoped his friends and the public would not be harsh in their condemnation of him, but would await all of the developments In the matter be- fore eonvicting him in their minds. The chances now are that he will lose neither arm.
 Bicycle Sidewalk War.
 The bicycle sidewalk law is on here. For some months a large proportion of the town has been entirely wild on the subject of bicycles. About 1900 have been sold here, the aggregate expenditure be- ing more than $100,000. Until recently there has been no expressed objection to their being ridden on the sidewalks of the city, and all of the wheels were bought with the expectation of their being used on the sidewalks if the riders wished. The streets of Montgomery are sandy-very sandy-which renders them in many in- stances impossible for bikes. The passage of law requiring riders to keep off or the sidewalks of the city would be mur- derous to the bicycle traffic, and of course the dealers are heartily joining the riders and cranks in fighting the proposed law. A compromise something like this will be proposed, and will probably be accepted: The bike riders will be asked to be al- lowed the use of the sidewalks on about three streets-enough to enable them to reach the country roads-and they will guarantee to give the other sidewalks a wide berth The paved streets and those sidewalks which they ask for will, they have figured out, give them chance to get about on their wheels with some sat isfaction. The proposed law, while 1t is undoubtedly a good one, will work con siderable hardship upon carrier boys and others who have bought their wheels for use in their daily business rather than for .,1a

CARL FE1aENBAUM ELEcTRoCUTED
He Maintained His Innocence of the Crime
 to the Very Last


 to the Very Last.
 Sing Sing, N. Y, April 27.-The third murderer to suffer the death penalty at the state prison here within the week was electrocuted this morning. Todays victim was Carl Feigenbaum, who had been confined in the death house of the prison for sixteen months awaiting pun ishment for the murder of Johanna Hoffman in September, 1894. The woman lived in small apartments at Mo- $40 East Sixth street, New York city, and Feigenbaum occupied one room as lodger. The murder was committed at night while the woman was in bed, and there was no apparent motive for the crime, but the guilt of Feigenbaum was conclusvely established by the evidence of the murdered womans son, who was an eye witness of the tragedy, and his story was corroborated by other strong circumstantial evidence. Nevertheless, Feigenbaum stoutly maintained his in- nocence throughout his trial and his long incarceration, and went to the death chair claiming that Jacob Weibel was the real murderer.

 The pupils of the Judson gave a mu- sicalrecital, the third of the session, Friday night The entire programme, which was quite a long one, was delightfully."- rem dered, and was greatly enjoyed by the large audience which filled the chapel.
 Dr. E. w. Peterson of New Orleans, who has just completed his medical stud ies at Tulane university, is visiting his friends and relatives in Marion.
 Several of the Marion doctors attended the medical convention in Montgomery last week.
 The ladies of Marion held a rose fair last Friday at the court house, under the auspices of the ladies of the Presbyterian church, for the benefit of the orphanage. The exhibition of roses was superb.
 The friends of Judge Caffey very much regret his defeat before the state conven- ton for auditor. But the judge is a dem- ocrat of the old guard, and knows how to take defeat gracefully and philosophic- ally. Here's success to him next time!
 The action of the state convention on the silver question gives solid joy to the democrats of this section. The platform is plain, straight and unequivocal. deal ing with the great currency question in manner at once honest and straightfor- ward When such men as General Pettus are to the front the straddlebugs must get out of the way And now that the party in state convention has spoken and the will of the majority has been record ed, let every democrat of every shade or opinion turn h.s face to the enemy, and victory in August will be certain
 The Daily State Herald now reaches Marion on the early morning train twelve hours earlier than any other daily paper This ought to- and doubtless will, greatly increase the circulation of the State Her aid along the line of this railroad.

FAILURES.
Dealers in Sheep and Goat Skins Fail for
 Big Amount.

Boston, April 27.-Pemberton Brothers, dealers in sheepsklns, with factory at Peabody, Mass, and offices and store room at 47 High street, Boston, have as- signed to Ex-Attorney-Gener Albert Pillsbury, Herbert Clark and Warren Shaw, as trustees, for the benefit of their creditors.
 The firm of B. E. Baker & Co.,, dealers in goatskins, of which the Pemberton Brothers are members join in the assign ment. The aggregate indebtedness Is about $500, 900.
 The suspension was due to the dullness of trade, shr nkage of values and the diff ficulty of making prompt collections.
 The assets and liabilities are said to be about equally divided between the two firms. The assets are estima ted at about $150000. These figures may be changed by the condition of the market in the next few months.
