The Fate of the Court MartaIed Privates With
 Commissioned Officers.

The transcripts of the testimony, pleadtngs and arguments In the trial of the four prdvates by courtmartial will be forwarded to Col. H. B. Foster today. By him they will either be approved or disapproved and then sent to Br,gadier Louis " Clark. After similar action by him the papers will be forwarded to Governor Johnston as commander-n- chief, and the findings published in gen eral orders.
 The four young men were Privates J. Cary Thompson Robert Webb, Moody Cunningham and c. w. Sproull. The last named was brought back for trial from Anndston. Each was charged with violating the rules in not attending the drills.
 The Jurisdiction of regimental court martial extends for 100 miles from the po.nt in which it is held. The highest penalty that can be imposed after con- vsction is $100 and sixty days in jail, either, or both, at the discretion of the court
 It is the general suppositfon that, in the event of any of the accused being declared guilty, a. fine only will be irn- posed.
 Private Sproull is satd to have pleaded that he was barred from tnal by the courtmartlal on account of lack of jul risd. .ctjdon. This point is not yet settled.

STUDl0US ALABAMA LAWYER.
J. J. WiIle!t, of Annisfon, Corrected Seth Low
 on Roman History.

In a speech published in the New York World, Seth Low, president of Columbfa University, and at that time candidate for mayor of Greater New York, used the following language in speaking of the death of Henry George:
 According to an ancient legend, a chasm one day opened in Rome and threatened the whole people of the city. In great fear they consulted an oracle, and he declared the only way to save Rome was for the people to cast their most precious possess on Into the chaEm.
 "Quintus Curtius at once leaped into the chasm Rome possessed nothing of greater value than this citizen. The chasm was cI5sed and tn c.ty was saved.
 'I think this legend is parable of Henry Georges death.'
 J. J. Wilett, we'll known lawyer of Ann.ston, and a deep student of classi- cal literature, wrote to the New York Times, calling MT. Lew to order on his classical blunder as follows:
 Can it be possible the scholarly presi- dant of Columbia should have so nodded? QuintuS CuTtius, according to the recog- nized authorities, was the celebrated bi- os.apher of Alexander the Great, and had nothing to do with the legend spoken of by MT. Low. This Quintus Curtius is recorded as a contemporary with Ves- pasfan, GA. D., to 79) 1t was Mettus Curtius (aceording to Anthons Classical Dictionary and the Encyclopedia Bri- tannica), and Marcus Curtius (acccqd.ng to AppletonS American Cyclopa edia), who in the fourth century, B. C., accord ing to the legend, arrayed himself in complete armor, and, mounting his war horse, jumped into the abyss. None of the authorities I have ever seen as- crllbes this feat to Quintus Curtfus.
 This legend is the subject of the paint ing by the celebrated English painter Benjamin Robert Hayden, known as "Curt|ius," and, strangely enough, In D. Appleton & Co.'S book on English paint CTS copy of this painting is given with the name "Quintus Cu.tfus" underneath. This probably is what mlslea1 MT. Low into the error committed.
 The New York Sun commented editor ially on the mistake and its correcta,n by MT. Willett, but held the opinion that there might have been more than one Mettus or Curtius but there could never be but one SethuS.

lines of Interstate railroads at the mercy of competing railroad companies en- gsged in int rstate commerce. The judg- niert in this case, if I do rot misappie- bend dts scope and effect, proceeds upon the ground that ranlroad companies, wpsn competitions for busienss at ezriain points. may, in order to secure the traf- fic for these points, discriminate against all intermediate points. Under the op eration of such ruls it Is in the power of these competing railroads to build up cities at principal terminal points, and retard the growth of the country at and in the vicinity of Intermediate points
 "As construed by the present decision, The interstate commerce act may we'll be regarded as recognizing the authority Of interstate railroad corporations, whs their interests will be subserved thereby, to build up favored centers of popual- ton at the expense of the business of the country at large. I cannot believe that congress intended any such result, nor do l think that it's enactments, properly interpr,ised, would lead to such a result"

THE CIRCUS IS COMING.
The Great Wallace Shows Are Highly Commend
 ed by the Press.
11-13-2t

The genial and clever press agent of the great Wallace shows, R. M. Harvey, was in the city yesterday. His attrac- tion will appear here in the near future.
 Criticisms on the performances givs n by the Wallace show in other places are highly complimentary. The show is a moral one in fact, 1t teaches a lesson dn morality by being honest in fulfilling all its promis;s and clean in every feature.
 The show exhibited in a neighboding city recently. The following is from the press criticisms:
 'Wallaces show, under its enormous spread of canvas, Is certainly the acme of the mammoth exhibitio that now goes under the name of circus. Every performer was a specialist in his line and showed to a wonderful degree the capacity of the human body for develop ment to do extraordinary feats. This was especially true of the Nelson fam dly, whose remarkable performances were one of the best features of the show. The entire family-grandfather and grandmother their sons and their sons children,-were "born in the circus, ' their ancestors before them being aero bats, and their feats of strength and agility are the result of constant train- ing that began in early infancy.
 "In the Wallace show the people of this vicinity saw tb: first genuine horse racing under canvas and the chariot races were truly thrdllng. MT. Wallace s circus is deserving of much praise for its refinement, honesty, excellence and enterprise It is certainly the best of the great tented shows that has vis.oi Acbo

WHY JUSTICE HARLAN DlSSENTS.
Recent Interstate Commerce Decision Sharply
 Criticised.

Washington, Nov. 12.-When the su- preme court rendered it's decision Mon- day adverse to the interstate commerce commission on the fourth section of the law, Justice Harlan announced that he could not agree with the decision, and would file a dissenting opinion later on. He has net yet finished writing his opinion, but this evening he gave a summary of his view of the case. Tine decision was a serious blow to the law. It practically nullifes the section upon which the Sit. Louis and Dallas cases are based. Judge Harlan's views are as follows:
 'T dissent from the opinion and judg- ment in this case. Taken dn. connection with some of the former decisions of this court defining the powers of the in- terstate commerce commission, the pres ent decision, as it seems to me, goes far to make that commission useless body for all practical purposes, and to defeat mary of the important objects which congress designed to accomplish by the various enactments relating to inter- state commerce.

MONTGOMERY MATTERS.
Railroad Will Be Rapidly Completed Quorum
 of Aldermen in the City.

Special to The Age-Herald.
 Montgomery, Nov. 12.-The progress of the new Montgomery, Tuscaloosa and Memphis railroad has been sons what impeded by the yellow fever excitement but by no means stopped. It is com pleted to within tws nIty-fye miles of Tusca loosa and rails are being laid at the rate of two miles a day. It is stated that trains will be running to that city from Columbus, Miss, before the end of the present month.
 1he Prattville train will not be run into Montgomery until after the appear ance of a heavy frost. It now runs twice day to Prattville Junction, where it meets the Louisville and Nashville, and from which point passenge IS for MoIst- gomery are brought into the city.
 Several of the Montgomery aldermen wfIo refugeed from the city have re- turned, and as a quorum is now in the city. an important meeting of the coun- cil will be held on Monday night The city has about $125,000 stored away in the city banks, which was deposited four or five months ago from the sale of some street paving bonds, ard the mayer has been very desirous of having a meeting of the council so that the paving work might be commenced and employment be thereby furnished to many of the idle laborers who were suffering by req son of the panic.
 The distribution of this amount of money among the laborers of the city at this time would be an enormous advan- tag1 to them and to the business men of Montgomery as we'll, and it is probable the council will at it's Monday night meeting order the improvements to be proceeded with without delay.
