 Yours Merrily," John R. Rogers, of Minnie Palmer fame, will present his company of comedians in the Imaginable farce "The Strange Adventures of Miss Brown" at the Hyperion on Friday evening. The Washington CD, @ Times of recent date writes as follows: Miss Brown" whose strange adventures en- tertained a large audience at the Ma tional last night, is about as unconven- tional and exhilarating a young lady as has been seen here lately. Her re- markable escapades kept the audience in a roar. Miss Brown" is another of the pettieoat school of comedy that is, the fun is all evolved from the mas querading of man in feminine attire. Miss Browns" many mistakes and narrow escapes from detection in a school full of girls form the wool of the fun, of which the plot is but a ten uous warp. The company includes An nie Ward Tiffany, Herbert Sparling, Mamie Gilroy, Eugene O'Rourke and twenty five beautiful school girls. Sale of seats opens Wednesday.

 While democracies are the best gov ernments known to men, In practice they are the weakest. The reason is because the people under a popular government are at first honest and patriotic, but in short time populism, trampism and Tillmanism will increase and run the government. This has been the experience of all free gov ernments before our own. Fellow citi- zens, never before have we had such a trial as at present. May God grant that this trial will show that good sense and common honesty are still upper- most in our country and that this shall continue to be the land of the free and the home of the brave"

ALABAMA.

Thursday evening. David Roberts, of
upper edge of this county. From what
can be ascertained of the matter the
facts in substance, are about these: Da-
vid Roberts, in company with two other
young men, left this city for their home
in Clay county. Roberts was very drunk
when he left town, and on approaching
the outskirts of the city of Ironton, saw
Jack Stevens, (who is a man of about
go years of age) standing alone near the
side of the road, and without speaking
or giving the slightest warning to the
old man, he (Roberts), drew his pistol
and shot him through the head, from
the effects of which he died in few
hours. The murderer was pursued to his
home in Clay county, arrested and
brought to this city, where he is now in
Jail. The crime was a most diabolical
one, and the perpetrator will most proba-
bly, swing for it when he is tried. The
murdered man was peaceable, orderly
citizen, and esteemed in the community
in which he resided.

Particulars of the Burning of the Cour
House.

Particulars of the Burning of the Court
House.
Roanoke, Dec. Especial Correspond
ence.) about IL o'clock Monday night
the court house of Randolph county. at
Wedowee, was discovered to be on fire,
and it was soon a mass of smoking ruins.
THE fire originated in the office of pro-
dbate judge, and nothing was saved from
f1he burning building but one book from
Phe registers office In the building were
hhe offices of the probate judge, circuit
hclerk, sheriff, register in chancery and
kAttorney Stell Blake. All their contents
lwere consumed. No insurance was held
by anyone, as we are informed. Not only
the county, but many individuals are
hurt by the loss of the records and pa
pers, which will complicate matters for
Two years to come. The building itself,
which was of brick, was erected in 1857
by Contractor Mccain, at a cost of $780,
COO, though he bankrupted himself in the
undertaking. The county is in poor con-
diton to rebuild for some time to come.
1t is thought the money of the county
treasurer, which was in the private safe
of the probate judge, will also be found
missing, though at this writing no eX-
animation has been made on account of
the burning ruins. The theory is that
the safe was robbed and the building
fired to conceal the crime. The fire was
evidently the work of an incendiary for
the purpose of robbery or for some other
motive. 1t is a heavy blow to the coun-
ty, coming at time when we can i'll af-
ford it.
