little Girl Thrown from a Buggy-Beau-
3 tiful Picture Exhibited at the Fair.
Opelka, Nov. 17.-(Special Correspond
ence.)-Mr. l.. l.. Cooper and his little
girl were in buggy at the fair grounds
Saturday afternoon, and the horse took
fright at one of the race horses that was
being exercised with a red blanket on.
The horse that Mr.. Cooper was driving
ran away and threw the little girl out
of the buggy and between two mules that
were tied to the fence. The mules be-
came frightened and jumped back and
forward, passing over the little girl
three or four times, 1t is indeed strange
but the little girl was not hurt at all.
In the art department at the fair just
closed was a very beautiful picture made
by girl only Is years of age. The paint
ing is executed in q manner that would
do honor to a much older and more ex-
perienced artist and shows native tai
ent for art. 1t was Miss Bessie Collins
who did the painting, and the picture rep
resents q fine setter dog holding in its
mouth a dead quail, and looks so natural
that anyone fond of fine dogs and hunt
ing can but admire its perfection.

TROY.
Boy Scrap Results in Death and Makes
Two Unhappy Homes.

Two Unhappy Homes.
Troy, Ala, Nov. 1s-(Special Corre-
spondence.)-T difficulty that occurred
between two boys last Wednesday night
has terminated in the death of one of
the comba tants. The facts in the difficult
ty are as follows:
Several little boys had crowded around
near the opera house entrance to see the
minstrel, while others crowded eagerly
around the ticket office to procure gal
lery ticket In order to obtain a front seat.
Some boys began to push, and some one
pushed Butts on Downing. This was re-
peated and Downing went away to avoid
a SCRAP" but Butts followed him. Some
boys pushed Butts on Downing again,
and he pushed Butts roughly away. This
made Jimmie mad, so he got out big
knife, and with stick in one hand and
a knife in the other, he advanced on
Downing who seeing him coming, ran
away, but Butts pursued him. Downing
saw that it was impossible to escape, so
he stopped and turned to meet his foe, at
the same time drawing a knife from his
pocket, which he hurled with all his force
at the oncoming boy. The knife struck
Butts on the left temple and he was
knocked to the ground. This ended the
fight
Butts had resumed his work as usual.
Mr. Hamilton says that he seemed well
Saturday morning, and that when he
was not busy that he was out playing
with other little boys. Saturday at noon
when he was dining, he complained OF
awful pains in his head and his mother
placed him in bed. A physician was call
ed in, but he could not relieve the suffer-
ing boy and told them that he must soon
die. About ~ o'clock Saturday night the
little fellow died. His remains were in
TERED yesterday afternoon at the city
cemetery.
Late Saturday evening when 1t was
known that Butts must die, warrant
was sworn out for Downing on the
charge of assault with intent to MUIR
der" The warrant was served and
Downing was placed in custody of q
deputy sheriff He was not locked up,
however, but is allowed to accompany
the deputy around.
The boy having died after the first war
rant was served another one was gotten
out this morning on the charge of murder
and it was this upon which he was tried.
DIR. J. T. Mullins and DR.. e. II. john
son made a post mortem examination.
They took the upper part OF the Skull
away and found that the left temple
bone had been fractured and some little
vessels inside the skull had been bursted.
The blood had run out and a large clot
had been formed about the fracture. This
clot of blood pressed upon the nerves
and caused conclusion of the brain. This
produced death.
The case was called before Justice Cox,
for preliminary hearing this morning at
10 o'clock. Solicitor Sanford represented
the state and w. l.. Parks the defense.
Several witnesses were examined, who in
substance told the same story. Justice
Cox, after having heard all the testi-
mony, discharged the youthful defend

President Jackson Talks About the Jack
son and Kansas City Railroad.
Mobile, Nov. 17.-(Special Correspond
ence.)-The following interview with
Capt. T. S. Fry is from the Sunday Times,
a new weekly paper, Of which Mr. e. V.
OConnor is editor, the first issue Of which
appeared Sunday.
For the present I have given up my
canvass and really do not know whether
! will be a candidate for mayor or not.
The action of the committee on the re-
vision of the city charter leads me to
this conclusion. The idea of reducing
the salary of the mayor from $500 to
81 200 is, in my estimation, out of all real
son, and if the salary Is reduced to the
amount named l will not be a candidate.
81 think all fair-minded persons will
agree with me that the mere pittance
of 1920 is not sufficient to uphold the
dignity of so high and honorable an
office.
"Of course, there are persons here in
Mobile who would gladly accept it at
any price, but l certainly cannot see
my way clear to do so.
Until the matter Is settled by the
legislature I tell you frankly my cam
yass Is at an end"
Col. Frank S. Merrill president of the
Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City rail-
road, returned from New York Yesterday
train, and was about one of the busiest
men in the city during the forenoon. He
submitted to an interview and said that
business in the north where he has been
is booming, and that he never saw such a
change.
Relative to his return in connection
with the building of the railroad men
toned, he said II have come back
to go to work on the road at once My
contract calls for the delivery of fifteen
miles of steel rails on Dec. Is, and five
miles every fifteen days thereafter. We
expect to have the road completed and in,
full running order and in operation from
Mobile to Pascagoula river by May 1,
1887.
1T has been decided to do the work
by solid filling instead Of building trestles
and all the bridges will be of steel in
stead of wood, SO that it will be first
class road in every respect. 1 expect
to have 500 hands at work on this end
of the road some time next week, and
notices of the employment of men will
be given later through the press"
) Col. Merrill is in fine health, and re-
turns to Mobile with determination to
push the building of this road as rapidly
as men and money will do 1t.

Russelville has been having all kinds of
a time and sensations galore during this
month of November. First, of course, the

ing majority of the votes of the entire
committee, composed of one member
from each beat in the county," shall be
declared the unanimous choice of the

In this case there were thirteen candi-
