in This City.
w. II. Harris, of Fayetteville, was
arrested in this city Monday upon
advices from the officials at that
place. He is charged with abduct-
ing -year-old girl by the
name of Eliza Robbins, who is said
to be his aunt, and also halls from
Lincoln. The two parties have been
in Maury County for some time, and
the charges were instituted by the
father Of the girl. 1t appears that
the girl did not wish to part with
her abductor, as she came to town
soon after Harris was arrested, pro-
cured a marriage license and went
to Jail, where they We're made one
by Judge Erwin. The bridal pair
were given accommodation at the
city lookup, and Tuesday Deputy
Sheriff Quigsby, of Lincoln county,

the outlook for the hotel for the

hay one hundred and fifty people
there BY the Fourth of July. The
rush has not commenced yet but
there are IA few people who have been
driven by tie recent hot weather
from the city. Should the weather
again get very warm the influx will
be OF considerable proportions As
the advantages OF the resort become
better known from season to season
there is going to be better attend
anee and the people who manage it
are going to have better time of it

EDWARDS NOMINATED.
D0rr is turned down by his Party i'm
convention i'm the Third District.

w. S. Edwards has secured the
nomination for congress on the Re
publican ticket in the third district
over &. t. Dorr. The latter made no
fight to speak of for the empty hon
or and was not even commended for
his course in the house by the con
vention. A motion to such effect
which was offered by his friends was
thrown out. The consequent i'll
feeling engendered did not help the
chances of the party in the district.
Mr.. Edwards is probably the best
man in the district on his side of the
fence and will be great deal prefer
able if elected to the man whom he
will succeed.
The Democratic candidate cannot
be guessed as there are number
of fine men in the field and there
has been no instructions given to
any delegates as yet. The fight in
the district is expected to be very
warm one.

THE WAR PROGRESS.
A Few of the Things that have
been done in the last
twenty-four hours.

Twelve thousand tons OF
coal have been purchased by
Spain at Valparaiso and
it is now being loaded. It is
thought that it may be in
tended for the Cadiz fleet
which is under Camera may
intend to descend on the Pa
cifc coast after skirting the
Horn.
The governments is said to
have formulated its policy in
regard to the Philippines says
the Washington correspond
ent of the London Mail.
While it is indisposed to as
sumo control of them it is de-
termlned never to allow Span
1sh rule to be asserted over
them.
Troops are being landed on
the east and west of Santiago
and an attack from tow sides
will be made on the city. A
desperate battle is expected
by the last of the week.
Shafter will be given free rein
and will not be hampered by
instructions from Washington.
All the troops will be landed
by tomorrow. Little If any
resistance has yet been made.
The fleet has again shelled
the defenses at Santiago and
during the bombardment a
sailor was killed on the Texas.
Captain General Blanco
says that the reason that
Hobson is held is that he has
learned too much of value
about the defenses of the
town which is at present
besieged and that his release
would be fatal to the defend
ers.

Powell Visits the Improvements and
lnspeets the Progress OF the Work.
he Is suily satisfied With the Speed
That is Being Made and Thinks that
They VIII be Fiaished on lime
These who Fear that it will Take Six
Years for the Work are Not War
ranted In their Ideas.
Major Powell who is the United
States engineer in charge of the riv-
er has been here looking after the
progress being made ON the locks
and dams being built by G. l. Me
Donald. He expressed himself as
being very well pleased with the
outlook and the prospects Of the
completion Of the work in the speei
fled time. He inspected the work
thoroughly and went over the ground
very carefully This is his first Wis
it here for some time and there was
a great deal to be done.
He was asked If the work was be.
ing done as fast as it seonld be and
answered that it was. aOf course the
first dam will be the longest in
building All the preliminary work
has to be done and everything start
ed off right. After that it is small
matter to begin on another one and
the time that was lost on the first
enc will be more than made up on
the rest
The assertion that they will be
six years in building is unwarranted
There is no reason why the dams
should all not be done in the con
tract time four years. Mr.. Melon
aid was a man who thoroughly un-
derstood his business and was
great hustler. This being true and
the fact that there were no great en-
cheering difficulties in the way did
not at all justify the rumor which
had been published as fact in some
papers that the work would not be
done on time
In four years the boats will be
running to Fairmont and the slack
ing Of the river will have been com
pleted. The delays which will of
necessity arise in a work of such
character will have an ample allow
ance made for them and they will
not cut much figure"
Everyone interested will be glad
to learn that the fears which have
been felt by them that the slackwa-
ter will not come for longer time
than was at first expected can now
rest assured that their fears were
groundless.
Fairmont need not be scared At
the end of the four years from the
time at which the work began they
can have boats running every day
to their town and they will not be
left above the head of slackwater
any longer than that time People
up there think that it may take six
years to finish the locks and perhaps
longer but from what was said by
Major Powell they have been mis-
taken.
