LOST A HAND AND LEG.
Deplorable Accident to Lee Curry, Colored Brakeman of the South
 ern, Near the Round House.

Lee Curry, a colored brakeman on the Southern railroad, met with an unfor- tunate accident about 8:30 o'clock last night in the railroad yards at Avondale.
 Curry had just come in off his run and was on the engine riding up to the shops preparatory to going to his home. On entering the shop tracks there is a switch to be thrown and Curry went out ahead to perform this duty. In throw ing the switch he slipped and fell with his left hand and leg across the tracks.
 The engineer, unconscious of the mans peril, continued on to the shops to put the engine up, when Curry was missed. A search revealed him lying on the ground with his left hand crushed and mangled and his right leg mashed be- low the knee.
 Dr. Copeland was summoned and had the man removed to the Hillman hospital in the Warner Smiley company's ambu- lance.
 A closer examination of the injured man revealed the fact that his leg was broken above the knee and amputation was necessary. The left leg was taken off at he hip and the left hand was also amputated.
 At a late hour last night the injured man was resting quietly at the infirmary and it is thought will recover.

WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH.

The wages of sin is dsath. Matte Whit lock. the comely daughter of as solicftous parents as ever breathed, in an evil mo- ment wandered from her Union Grove Marshall county) home and assldiously devoted herself to the life of courtesan. She was fascinating and beautiful, but the years Of dissipation eventually cut her features sharp, and the once milk and rosy cheeks which in her fathers house were unfa- miliar to cosmetics, now became smudged with them; and she sank down deep into a riotous living. To her father and moth- CT she disguised her true condition in words burning with love for the home. though nocturnally rumors sought to iispel the illusion and pull aside the cur tain. At such times belief in the daugn- ter's womanhood came to Mattie's res cue Then later. Christopher Coless, a Greek, with a penchant for vending fruit delica cjes, wooed and married her, she promising reform at an early stage of the courtshp. Did she keep her vows 1? No. She returned the mantle of sin to her shoulders, and her husband shot her dead and also tried to kill himself. Her brother came to Birmingham Tuesday to take charge of the remains. which had been inferred at the expense of the girls friends. for even the fallen have these. He said.

 E Explain this mystery. Make it known to all men that the money of Spain per- meates the most secret recesses of the administration; that our assistant sec retary of the treasury is the regularly re- tained counsel of the Spanish consul at the city of New York. and that the coun- sel of the Spanish embassy in Washing ton has just been assigned by the attor- ney general of the United States to as- sist the United States district attorney, William L.

 "The Spanish government, therefore, not only directs the operations of the revenue cutters Of the United States to assist Spain and prevent the Cubans from getting ammunition from the United States, but it actually directs the opera tions of grand juries and of courts.
 'I do not believe that such a thing ever occurred in an Englfsh-speaking court, even before juries were invented, that foreign sovereigns would appear by counsel in a prosecution,of a private citi- zen by his own government and assist that government in executing it's own laws, when at any moment war may break out between the two countries.

POPULAR GOVERNMENT.

Recent political events in the United States appear to have developed two diff ferent sorts of pessimists. remarks the New York Commercial Advertiser. One kind sees the republic doomed to be over run by Goths and Huns; the other sees it doomed to succumb to the inroads of lux ury and vice. One kind discerns in the distance the ''man on horseabck;' the other discerns the canaille-imperia1 rule and panoplied legions on one hand and mob rule and street barricades on the other. Each goes to the furth st extreme. It is either Napolenoic despotism or an- other French revolution. Both views are unfounded and illogical. Both practically deny the fitness of the American people for lf-government both practically pro- nounce free institutions a delusion; both practically proclaim schools and churches. intelligence and Christianity to be failure and both practically brand as mockery and sham the prn- ciples enunciated by the Declaration of Independence. The number who hold these jaundiced views, it is gratifying to say, is comparatively small.
 The American people may he occaslon- ally humbugged but they are quick to detect wrong and are swift to mend their mistakes No nation on earth can vie with us in wealth; nowhere is the average standard of living so high; nowhere are public schools and Christian temples of worship so numerous; in no other coun- try are industrial opportunities so plen- tiful; in no other part of the globe is jus tice on the whole. better administered, and nowhere is there equal freedom of speech and action. These are not evil dences of civic decay These are not evil dences of the failure of free government. We have room under our institutions for Washington or a Jefferson. Grant or Lincoln, but not for Caesar or a Cat iline, g. Napoleon or a Robespierre.
 The weakest point in the American ar- nor is undoubtedly the government of large cities. This is problem We have not yet successfully solved. But. for that matter, London and many other cities of Europe are struggling with the same problem. Like Jonah's gourd, the great towns of this country have leaped into existence in night. Half a century ago New York had population of only 300. .000, Chicago was a village of 4.000 in- habitants, Philadelphia was not as large as Albany is now and Brooklyn was a place of S6000 inhabitants. The growth of these cities has been so marvelously rapid as to render it almost impossible for suitable government to keep pace with

In speaking to the president, 1t is cus- tomary to say 'fMr. President" No oth- CT official has "Mr." prefixed to his title. It is not proper to say Mr. Senator, or Nr Judge. Is it really good taste to say Nr President? The term "Mister'' is a title in che sense. and to couple 1t with another title is redundant. Some men are prouder of the title Mister than any other. It was once said that Cleveland was pFoud that he had no title but Mis- ter Private Allen, of Mississippi, has made national reputation by insisting that he was plain Mister.

 The first alarm was sent in from box 31 and the department went to Fifteenth street, near Eighth avenue. The blaze was in the roof of a shanty occupied by Julia Browne, colored, and was caused by a defective flue. Two or three shingles were scorched but no damage done. Hk9j

 Mckinley need not have any fears, however, that he will be annoyed by place hunters. Hanna will take that trouble off his hands In fact, he has al ready made the arrangements.

The Birmingham Evening Ledger is forging it's way to the front. The man. agement announced yesterday that be- ginning next Monday the Ledger will receive the full day report of the Asso- ciated Press. When it. is remembered that the Ledger is not yet four months old and has already won am enviable reputation both at home and abroad as one of the best and spiciest papers in Alabama, the public can but conclude that a big success is, in store for it. The securing of the Associated Press is a great hit, and typesetting machines and a perfecting press may be the Ledger's Christmas present. So be it.

There is no love lost between Germany and England. There is a decided anti British current running through the German mind. This has been increased by the curt refusal of Lord Salisbury to aid the emperor in plan he had mapped cut to interfere against Greece in the Cretan trouble. And the English are not pleased with the disclosure made by Cecil Rhodes. He says the kaiser wrote to President Kruger and proposed to establish German protectorate over the Boer country.

Mrs. Astor, Mrs. Drexel and other par ticipants in the Bradley Martin ball will attend Mardi Gras in New Orleans, and will wear at the Rex ball the fancy cos tunes they wore at the Bradley Mar tin ball. A New York reporter says these costumes will "startle the southerners. ]" The idea of startling the people of New Orleans with fancy dress during Mardi Gras! If the reporter meant that the dresses of the New Workers would en- Tighten the taste of the New Orleans ladies he is not familiar with history. Why, New Orleans is the home of the best taste of the old and new world. It has harbored kings and queens and princes. If has been the abiding place of the flower of French and Spanish chiv- airy and beauty. Its proud Creoles yield to none in the cultivation of aeStheti- cism. It is the home of the Mardi Gras, which New York has attempted and failed It has been the abode of Bien- vile, and Salcedo, and Orleans.
