There was quite serious washout
caused by the giving away of a part of
the dam at William McAulay's mill
north of the village last week. The
road was badly washed one halt the dis.

cellar was filled with water and his
cattle were in water TO their necks when
taken out of his barn, 1t was quite a
miniature Johnstown. The road is fixed
so as to be passable but on account of
the freezing of the ground, no more
could be done. A great deal of labor,
time and money will be required to
make the road as good as before the

tried TO make himself heard, but his
effort wasi n vain. The expelled men

MONTGOMERY. ALA. August A.
Specials TO the Advertiser from many
county seats give complete returns in
large number OF caset. Most OF them
show marked gains over the Democratic
vote two years ago, and make the tri-
umph OF the Democratic State ticket easy
and sure For Instance. I'm the coun-
ties OF Bibb. Butler. Cherokee. Chiffon,
Cleborne Elmore. Fayette, Marshall, and
TallapoOsa. the Populist majorities in
1894 aggregated 5793. Now they aggre-
gate only $3.50, a falling off OF over 40
per cent. and a net Democratic gain In
the ten counties of 2,3iS votes. In other
counties the Popuist matorities have
been wiped out and Democratic majori-
ties appear as in Doikalb. Limestone,
Randolph, and Winston. where the Dem
ocratc gains foot up 1883 votes.
In n few counties the Populists have
made gains. but they are small, and do
not make more than a few hundred.
FRAUD CLAIM IMPOSSIBLE.
II Ia fair 10 expect this average net
gain 70 prevail through the other white
counties. and. II so. the Democratic
ticket will come to the black belt with
a fair majority, and remove every pos
sibilitv Of the claim OF fraud. In a NUM-
her OF these counties the Popullsts con-
troll the election machinery and there
can be no dispute about the returns by
them
There Is no doubt Of the Democracy's
triumph by a majority OF at least 5000
and IL may go higher. There have also
been more gains on the legislative tick
cts than losses. and there is every
reason to believe that the fun Demo
cratic majority in the last Assembly will
be maintained.
