BART THRASHER.
The Noted Outlaw and Escort Within Mile of
Monteyallo Sunday-Making
for Cover.

Montevallo, Aug. 17-(Specia1)-Our
peaceful and quiet village was thrown in
to O. state of excitement yesterday when
1t was learned that Bart Thrasher, the
now famous outlaw, with four other men,
were seen about a mile from town, heav-
lily armed and threatening the life of Mr..
Charles w. Cary, who last year had
Thrasher Jailed at Jasper, charging him
with robbery Mr.. Cary was held up by
two armed men a little over year ago
and robbed of his watch and a small
amount of money Mr.. Cary always con-
tended that Thrasher was one OF the men,
and short while afterwards had him ar
rested In Walker county. 1t could never
be esta blished satisfactorily, so he was
discharged. Thrasher has on several oc-
casions threatened to kill Cary.
Quite crowd of determined and well
armed men left last night, and are now
securing the woods near here for the out
law. Should they come together some
bloody work may be expected as all are
brave and determined men.
Mr. Bunk Harris, who Is well acquaint-
ed with Thrasher, saw him Saturday
coming in this direction. He met him at
thu river bridge on the Birmingham Bri-
erf1eid and Blocton railroad and talked
with him for some time. 1t Is believed
that Thrasber is going down to Stump
Hills, a Deighborhood south of Calera,
where it Is almost impossible to trace or
capture anyone.

Montgomery, Aug. 17.-(Special.)-
Montgomery Sound Money Democratic
club 0he bolters) met here tonight at the
theater and enjoyed speeches from Ex-
Governor Jones, Col. w. A. Gunter and
others. A dozen new members were en-
rolled snd an abundance of enthusiasm
was apparent. The parquet contained a
good sprinkling of democrats and num-
ber of ladies were present.
Governor Jones speech consisted of q
reputation of the Chicago platform. He
jumped on 1t with both feet. He couldn't
find thing good in it. He avoided a
discussion of the silver question.
Colonel Gunter who followed him, de-
voted most of his speech to the financial
problem and undertook to show that
parties belonged to men, not men to
parties, or something to that effect. He
said among other things that he was
willing for the republican party to re-
main In power forever IL they admins
tered the government properly.
The other speakers followed along the
same lines. the text of all the speeches
being about this: Desert the democrat
ic party. Don't be afraid. What's in a
name?g We've quit, and If men like us
leave you can afford to-"

of the state for a rest. and Therefore am
not going to make any speeches l do

and l take this opportunity OF thanking
you for the interest you are taking In the

Democrats here feel very confident that
the party cannot control more than 5000
votes in the state.
1t is stated that a movement is on foot
by the democratic democrats here who
believe in the theory of gold standard,
but who love their party more than they
do the golden calf, to organize a Bryan
Sewall club. 1t Is believed that such an
very large membership within a few
days and would make the boilers asham-
ed of themselves.
Mr.. Junius A. billiard, who has for the
past year been giving his personal su-
pervision to his valuable plantation near
on the Advertiser and is being heartily
welcomed back by his fellow craftsmen.
His friends throughout the state will be
glad to know that his health has been
very thoroughly restored by his sojourn
in the country.
The Journal publishes an interview
with a prominent cotton planter of this
county, in which he says:
"The amazement and feeling Of the
cotton planters of this county. all of
whom are democrats, has become SO in
tense as to cause them to seriously
threaten to inaugurate boycott against
the gold standard warehousemen and
merchants who have bolted the party
The planters urge that the overshadow-
ing question with them Is white suprema-
cy, and the proposed alliance between
the republicans and the sound money
democrats is most dangerous and in
sidious attack upon the conditions now
existing between the races"
He insists there is strong prospect
that the threat to boycott will be put into
execution.

and proceeded to Hannastown, a suburb
of Belfast, headed by bands of music
and displaying numerous banners bear
ing Inscriptions indicating the purpose
of the movement. The streets were lined
with spectators, who hooted, groaned and
jeered the proeessionists and finally
threw a few stones at the paraders.
Some of the paraders were armed with
spears and these men made an attack
upon their tormentors, despite the efforts
of the police, who were out in full force
to prevent them A fierce fight ensued
and the police made several charges
with drawn batons upon the combat
ants, as a result of which there were
great number of broken heads. A dozen
or more of the rioters on both sides were
taken to the hospital after order was re-
stored. All of this occurred before noon.
Later the city magistrates held
meeting and ordered that the troops be
in readiness to put down the disturb
ances which it was feared would occur
when the paraders returned from Han
nastown in the evening. Every prepara7
tion was accordingly made to suppress
any attempt at rioting and for tim

alive with excited people.
The procession returned to Belfast in
the evening, when 1t was soon seen that
the misgivings of the authorities were
not unfounded. AS the procession ap-
preached the city the greatest excitement
prevailed. A number Of opposition mobs
had gathered along the intended route
of the procession on it's return with the
object of making an attack upon the pa
RAIDERS and to prevent rioting of the
most active character the police barred
the route which had been laid out for
the return march of the procession and
turned the parade off into another di-
rection. In the meantime a heavy rain
began falling, but this had not the slight
est effect in diminishing the size of the
crowds which thronged the streets nor
in allaying the excitement of the people.

Mr.. Smythe, who brought the COM

had anything to do with it. He devoted
much time to a defense of the court for

ment iu the rate case before Judge ST.

diction of the court

cut of 35 per cent by the Sea board Air
Line was for the purpose OF preventing
the Southern from putting on compet-

Portsmouth The cut was not beca use
the new rate was a just and fair one. but
to prevent competition on the ocean. The
purpose was unlawful and affected the
acts This cut would disturb the rates OF
all other railroads In the territory, and
rhev have the right TO complain and this
court has the right in this application
to RESTRAIN the unlawful act. This court
has the power TO restrain an act working
injuries to others when the act. itself law

Judge Watts, chief counsel for the Sea-
board Air Line, said that ali that was
used against his side was declanIa ton
dennnciations and extracts from dissent

litigation was brought about by the
