HE is POSTMASTER AT LAST
DR.. HUGHES AT THE HELM THIS
MORNING.
The Doctor Still Keeps His Counsel About
Whom He VIII Appoint Assistant-Bass
and Towers Are Mentioned.

DIR. J. w. Hughes has assumed charge
of THE postoffice.
His commission, it will be remembered,
was issued several weeks ago, but he did
not qualify urtil the pres} lent signed his
bond, which was dcne by the executive
on the 23d of August, at Lake Champlain.
The forffHalitbe5 of the transfer of the
Office last night to Dr. Hughes were very
simple. They consisted merely of an ex-
change of receipts between the two men.
Mr.. Copeland will not settle his accounts
with DR.. Hughes. That ma tier wll be
attended to by the auditor of The post
office, the sixth auditor of the department
of finance.
DIR. Hughes has been put to much worry
about the postofIfes. He was very jubl-
art when the political revolu ion put the
republicans again in charge of govern
m mt affairs. However, he did not devote
all his time TO a glorifica ton OF h psgfys
conquest. He had been an aepirant for
the poStoffice job before, and sunmoniug
lt1 energies, friends ard influences, he
pushed his claims for ali they were worth.
How he succeeded, the public knows.
But who will be DR.. Hughes assist
ant? 1T is Mr.. CruikshanSs," said h
last night, for the present. But Mr..
Cruikshank will retire shortly-going
into the newspaper business-and then
who will succeed Mr.. Cruikshank? DIR.
Hughes last night would give out no in
formation on that subject He walked
home in company with Messrs. Cruik-
shank, Bass and Towers. Bass is con-
n=cted with the postal service now. John
Towers has been in Birmingham a num-
Der of years. He was assistant post
master under Houston when he had
charge of the office. He has a great
many friends. Messrs. Bass and Towers
ara both promin emily spoken of in con-
nection with the assistant postmaster
ship.
Mr.. Copeland has not yet definitely de-
cided what business he will engage in
For the present he will tour South
western Texas and when he returns he
will go at something.

BOTH WERE DISCHARGED. +.
Two Negroes Instituted Habeas Corpus Pro-
ceedings Before Judge Sharpe and Won.

Judge II. A. Sharpe, of the city court,
was called upon twice yesterday morn
ing to hear halbeas corpus proceedings.
He discharged both applicants.
Isaac Howard, a negro, had been ar
rested on a charge of carrying con-
cealed razor Judge Sharpe held that
there was no such offense known to the
law and discharged tbs negro.
The other case was in the interest Of
Dave Dorsey, who had been arrested
for gaming. He was confined in the
county Jail on, a warrant issued by JUS
tice Charles j. Martin, of Beat q.
The principle involved was the same
as in the other cases disposed of by Judge
Sharpe, who held that a justice in Beat II
was not possessed of the jurisdiction to
make a warrant returnable to the GRIM
inal court. This also applies to justices
in Beat 81.

WARNER VS.. {. {. CARLISLE
MR.. WARNER SAID HE DID NOT
- DO 1T,
And Mr. Carlisle Says He Did-Resolutions
Alleged to Have Been Passed Monday
Night Cause Trouble in Camp.

p DR.. A. J. Warner, the fea1ing colored
politician, and his followers, were great
ly incensed by the actions of some of the
members of their race on Monday night
They were very outspoken yesterday in
their denunciation of the methods en-
pioyed by the attendants at a meeting
claimed to have been held that night
A negro, claiming to be E. E. Carlisle,
brought set of resolutions to the Age
Herald office Monday evening, which
were printed. He said they were adopt
ed at meeting of sllghted negro pie
hunters earlier in the evening. He said
that DIR. A. J. Warner acted as chairman
cf the meeting.
DIR. Warmer was seen yesterday and
said that such were not his methods of
doing business.
81 did not attend the meeting" he
said, land do not indorse the resolutions.
They do not apply to the party lead
ers, as, to my knowledge, Mr.. Vaughan
does not belong to the White Shields"
The methods of some politicians were
discussed, and DR.. Warren said THE
practices of the true politicians are all
right but those of curbstone howlers
are abominable."
Dr. Warner said that he had not been
in the Clayburn hall but once in four
years. He said further that he did not
leave his home on Monday night, and
knew nothing of the meeting until YES
terday.
Three other followers of the doctor
were with him at the time in the gov
eminent building. They seemed consid-
erably exercised over some political mat
ter. After DR.. Warner finished figura-
lively dissecting e. E. Carlisle, the quar-
tette left ait the invitation of one of
them to Les go see Doc Moseley."

This statement" said Mr.. Badham,
was sent out ea the time the rolling mill
company desired to issuee stock for the
purpose of building the steel mill. Many
prominent citizens received them.
THE company admitted that the state
ment was issued by them. AS usual,
however, he laughingly said, "the COM
missionerS refused to sustain my in
crease. OF course the case has been ap-
pealed and will be tried in the circuit
court. There, am positive, will be
sustained
All of the cases brought by Mr.. bad
ham and turned down by the county
commissioners have been appealed. They
are preferred cases, and will be taken up
among the first business by the circuit
court. Mr.. Badham hopes to have them
placed ON trial during October =.
The case against the Southern Bel
Telephone company was called in the
court yesterday morning, but continued
until September Sth. This is one of the
most important cases to be disposed of
and will probably be productive OF some
unlocked for developments. Mr.. Bad
ham said he did not look for a Favorable
decision from the county commissioners.
