 Painful diseases are bad enough, but when a man is slowly wasting away with nervous weakness the mental forebod- ings are ten times worse than the most severe pain.

For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of ! sexual weakness, until it was a question whether he had not better take a dose of jpoison and thus end all his troubles. But providential inspirat ton came to, his aid in the shape of combination of medi- E cines that not only completely rsetored the general health, but enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to natural size and vigor, and he now declares that any man who will take, the trouble to send his name and address may have the method of this wonderful treatment free Now, when say free, mean absolutely without cost, because Ifwant every weak ened man to get the benefit of my eXpe- rience. 4H E. +,-4

TwelYe Jurors Tied Up In a Chicken
 Stealing Cace


 Stealing Cace.
 Mobile Jan. 4-4eSpecial Correspond- ence.)f0ne of the most remarkable cases Tn th9history of the law in this part of the country is that of John Strachan, a White-youth, and tlie jury that heard his trial in the city court These jurymen have been hung and locked up in the court house since last Tuesday, a week tomorrow, and there is no telling how long they will be yet kept
 Last Tuesday the jury got the case and retired. Strachan was charged with grand larceny in stealing a hen and some or her chicks from a locked henhouse in the night time, the value of the steal being a bout 50 cents. Some of the jury thought the crime petit larceny; others that il was grand larceny under the law. and there Is the disagreement. Both sides stood firm The judge was appealed to- and he said he could not discharge the jury except with the consent of the defendant. This consent Strachan's counsel, Mir. R. Inge Smith, refused to give, and Strachan is said to have de- clared that the jury shall acquit or con- vict him, or stay locked up as long as he stays in jail. It was thought certain that the jury would return a verdict and be discharged by New Years day but that jury remained firm. It is firm yet, and yesterday and last night they were no nearer to an agreement than when they first asked to be discharged by the judge. The makeup of the jury is as follows: George E. Harris, Michael Steele, R. J. Miles, M. La Coste T. E. Fish, George F. Turner (coloredD, s. c. Riches, George w. Threefoot, Woodie Martin (colored), Joseph Martinez, George Crawford (col- ored), John w. Friend (colored).
 It will be observed that four colored men are on this jury.

WILL INSPECT THE MINES.
The Legislative Committee Reached the City Last Night, and Will Begin
 Their Work Today.

A committee of five was appointed by the house of representatives during the last session to visit the mines of the state during tn. recess, ascertain the ex- act conditions existing and report their observations to the house upon it's reEss- sembhng, together with a bill, proposing regulations to fit the conditions.
 This committee met at Montgomery this morning and came to Birmingham last night It consists of Hon. John Har- kins, chairman, of Jefferson, who is a practical miner; Hon. Walter NeSmith, of Eamar; Hon. W:-B. ..Appling, of Walk CTS Hon, Wilson Brown, ofs Talladega, and Hon w F. Cofer, of Cullman. The committee is-an exceedingly strong one and is admirably balanced. Their re- searches will have no referrnce to con- vict methods, but will relate more espe- cially to the regulation of conditions at the mines working free laborers.
 The. committee will visit the mines in the Warrior coal field tomorrow evening. leaving-the city on a special train at S:30. They will spend every night in the city, and will be glad to receive at their rooms at the Morris hotel any persons who may desire to come before them. They will probably visit the Blue Creek district on Thursday and the Blocton mines on Fri day.

 Chattanooga, Tenn, Jan. 5.-The Tradesman's southern correspondents re- port but little change in industrial con- ditions and the. demand for manufac- tured products will not show much in- crease until the spring trade opens. An encouraging feature of the week is the increase in the number of new industries organized, which is'a practical demon- stration of the restoration of confidence in manufacturing circles.
 The movement in iron and steel is light and buyers of western and southern brands of pig iron report a cut in prices of 25 cents a ton. The furnaces of the Dayton Coal and Iron company, at Day ton, Tenn, were put in blast Jan. 1, and the company wilI build fifty additional coke ovens. flsss

Senator Brown Writes Card on the
 County Boundary Line.
 Cullman, Ala, Jan. 9.--(Special Corre- spondenee.) 1.-The last issue of the Noun tain City Gazette, published at cullman, contains the following card from State Senat.,e Will G. Brown, relative to the county boundary line between Blount and Cullman counties:
 Editor Gazette-In response to your request to define my position on the pro- posed change of the boundary line be- tween Blount and Cullman, 1 will say that 1 represent both the counties in- terested in the matter, and expect to do so as fairly and impartially as l can, considering that all my personal inter- ests are with Culiman. l have told those interested to make their fight in the house. where each county has its own member to look after its interests, and where Cullman has all the advantage il could ask in having representative as able, experienced and jealous as MT. Cofer Is. while Blount is represented by a plain farmer, who though man of intelligence and high character, is inexperienced in legislative matters. If the bill can be passed through the house over the opposition of Blount's repre- sentative Mir. Cofer will certainly do it.
 Personally, I would be glad to have the many excellent citizens and good tax-payers in the territory included in the bill added to Culman county. How ever, representing both counties as 1 do, I have not considered it right to take any part in the fight until the bill comes to me, and when it does, 1 shall ask the senate to pass it just as it comes. The leaders on both sides are acquainted with my position and so far as l know, agree that it is the right one for me to take. WILL G. BROWN.

meetings Of the committee called to-

committee present, nor was there any
one on hand to address the committee
on the subject. The chairman, c. w
Stone, and a handful of others waited
for an hour after the meeting time
and finally adjourned until tomorrow
Mr.. Quigg, of New York, had notified
the committee that he would endeavor
to bring before it today several promi-
nent business men from New York
who desired to give their views, but
Mr.. Quigg and the New Workers failed
to appear. There is an understanding
that the committee will vote on re-
porting the bill tomorrow, but the
members who have been pushing the
measure fear that there will be no
quorum. They are inclined to believe
that those members, who have recon-
mended postponement of the question
until the new administration comes
into power, will secure this postpone
ment by absenting themselves during
the rest of the season, so that there
will be no quorum of the committee
Chairman Stone said today he favored
the bill with some amendments to it's
text.
