 The young lady was sleeping on a cot about midnight, and was awakened by some creature breathing in her face. She screamed and the beast sprang upon her, burying its claws in her bosom. The animal escaped befone any of the male members of the family could get there, but 1t was followed by the dogs and men and finally shot It was a cata- mount, and measured feet 61s inches long. In a nearby cavern three half grown catamounts were discovered and killed.

 Huntsville, Sept. 17.-The United aes land office combination for Huntsville as decided yesterday by President Me- Kinley, is Judge John A. Steele, of Tus- cumbia, president; H. V.

Meeting of Trustees.

Special to The Age-Herald.
 Montgomery, Sept. 1.-The board of trustees of the girls industrial school. located at Montvallo. met here today. The board is composed of eleven mem- bers, one from each congressional dis trict. two from the state at large, with the Governor and superintendent as ex- officio members.
 The object of the meeting was to take some action in references to the con- struction of the act of the legislature in granting free tuition to one pupil from each county in the state. It is contend ed by some that the act of the legisla- ture fairly construed gives free tuition and board for one pupil from each of the sixty-six counties in the state It is claimed by others that only tuition was intended by the legislature, and that board and books should be furnished by the pupils from the different counties.

THEY HAD A WRANGLE.
The Coroner's Jury at Montgomery Gets Some
 what Tangled.

Special to The Herald.
 Montgomery, Ala, Sept. 17.-Tha cor oners jury, with Justice Stokes as act ing coroner, are still engaged on the case of the killing of the negro by the falling parapet wall oyer Goetter, Well & Co. s store. There was quite a hitch yester- day in the case between some of the jury. One of the jurors, when it was proposed to examine the architect and contractor, took the position that the jury did not want to hear from them. as they had nothing to do with the criminal liability of any party, and that all the jury had to do was to find out how the negro came to his death.
 To this position another juror took issue, and said that if that was all they had to do there was no cause for ealing them together, as fifty men could tell how the negro came to his death, and that they were assembled to inquire into the cause of tnis death, and what, if any, criminal negligence was attributable to the architect or the contractor. and noth- ing short of this would satisfy the peo- ple A wrsngle of words between the two jurors caused the court to have the room cleared to find out "where they were at."
 After the room had been cleared the jury decided that they would hear the statements of the architect and con- tractor, and opened the doors to the pub llc
 The architect claimed that the work was not done according to plans and specifications and the contractor claims it was, ,.and each one says the other was at fault for the accident which killed the negro and dangerously wounded a white man. That there was gross cars- lessness on the part of someone there can be no doubt, and the jury will rem der some such verdict
