THE SENATOR'S COW.
Deal That Cost the Statesman Very
Heavily.

When, in a certain legislative pro-
ceeding, it was proposed TO make an APP
preparation in a series of expenditures
that never came to an end, Hon. Phi
letus Sawyer, then United States sem
ator from Wisconsin, said that the case
reminded him of cow that he once had
on his farm. He told the story thus:
"Once, when we were living on the farm
a man came along and wanted to buy a
certain COW. / offered him another, but
nothing would do but the one he had
pointed out. Then 1 told him that that
cow was one had given to my wife
and that could not sell it without her
consent.
"'Well, said the man, wouldn't she
sell the cow?'
Il went into the house and asked my
wife if l should sell the COW.
"'Oh, yes she said, but want the
money

two dollars, and said
"'CaIl on me when YOU want more
"Then after that, when my wife want
ed a dress, n bonnet or money to get n
wedding present, she would ask me for
some of that cow money. I had paid
her several thousand dollars of it. and
wondered when the credit would be ex-
hausted, when we built house. Then
it had TO be furnished. We figured up
what the cost would be of the things
wanted, and found that it amounted to
several thousand dollars. said:
wife, I'll pay you the balance Of
that cow money, and you can pay for
furnishing the house with it,
at was a bargain, and at last the
cow deal was over. That animal cost
me not far from $40 1000; but it was all
right. Companion.

Of course we did not care specially about attending Mardi Gras, but merely went along to look after our younger brother.

Yea, vert- ly. they do stick closer than a brother" The carnival at Birmingham was decid- ed success. The floats were exquisitely arranged. The different planets were beautifully represented. The Elks and Knights of Pythias displays were both elaborate and appropriate. The city was literally thronged with visitors. With the News we felt constrained to exclaim, great is Birmingham" The carnival was quite an advertisement for that city. It is evident to visitor that the secret of Birmingham's success lies in the fact that her citizens are progressive, enter prising, and pull together. They have city pride-witihout which no town can possibly grow or prosper. Rex Vulcan IT. arrived in the city at 1:S0 p. m. Im- mediately every whistle in the town be- gan blowing. Such a noise. myi my! Didn't you hear it from home? It seem- ed that '"ell had broke loose in Georgia" sure enough. That brother of mine thought the whole town was on fire and wanted to come home to mamma. So our visit was cut short. as we had to bring him home on the next train.

 Hands of Joe Ayers.

About il o'clock yesterday morning there was a shooting scrape in Pratt City that came near resulting fatally. A ne- gro by the name of Joe Ayers shot a white man. Forest Jackson. through the neck and in the left side and in the back. Ayers was shot in the hand.
 It is understood that the trouble grew out of dispute concerning Ayers &C., count with Jackson's fish market. Hot words were exchanged and Ayers pulled his pistol and fired five shots at Jack son before the latter could reach for his weapon. The first bullet passed through Jackson's neck, the second missed him entirely, but the third inflicted a slight flesh wound in the back. After tha negro had fired the third shot Jackson, who had reached his own gun. returned the fire four times One bullet is supposed to have struck Ayers in the hand as he was bleeding profuseiy The negro made his escape in the direction of North Bir- mingham.
 Forest Jackson was formerly employed at the Ensley furnaces, but the past year or more he has spent in farming. Very recently he opened 8 fish market near the drift tracks, and 1t was in this place of business the shooting occurred.
 Dr. Brown was summoned and gave medical attention to the wounded man. Although one of thesbullets passed entire ly through the neck, the wound is not considered to be fatal. The other one is merely flesh wound. The sheriff, with assistants, is in pursuit of the negro.

One of the saddest deaths reported in the newspapers last week was that of Irwin W. Adams, a young man of Provi- dence, who has been employed by J. B. Barnaby & Co.,, of that city. When the coroner's inquest was held it was found that almost every precaution had been used to prevent recognition, even a fire having been built where his papers were destroyed.
 Upon the body of MT Adams was found a Dueber-Hampden watch. On the morn ing of Jan. 25 the Hampden Watch com pany, of Canton, Ohio, received a tele- gram from the Coroner of Alton, H., stating, in substance, that body had been found there with c Hampden wa tch upon same, giving the number of the movement, and asking for identifca tion if possible
 The Hampden company, through the complete system of records kept by them of all watches sold was able to give the name of the jobber to whom they sold the watch-wfho was J. c. Sawyer, whole sale dealer in wa tches, 50 Summer street. Boston, Mass. Also through the Hampien compaHy's rebate voucher system, which voucher contains the name of the retail watch dealer and the name of the party buying the watch, in all instances-and which is now so popular with all retail watch dealers-it was ascertained that the watch in question was sold by Mn Sawyer to G.
