JACK WARD GOT TEN YEARS.
Entered Plea of Guilty to Train Robbing
 at fayette.

Jack Ward, alias Chatham Ward, who has been confined in the county jail for the past fourteen months on the charge or train robbing, was taken to Fayette' the county seat of Fayette county, on Monday bv Deputy Sheriff Bob Waldrop, where he entered a plea of guilty and was sentenced to a term of ten years in Pratt Mines prison. I'm,
 Ward was arrested in connection with robberies which occurred at Berry station on the Southern railroad, in the fall or lSsO. It is said that at the time of his arrest by the detectives of the southern hNpress Comnanv he made a full confession and gave the names of the men who were his accomplices, and proved to the officers tha [ he was a novice at the business. on this account his sentence was made as hght as possible, and the remaining case against him nole prosed. 9
 The first hold-up occurred in November near Berry The train had just pulled out
The age-herald., 1898-03-23

of the station when the engineer was or dered to stop and found himself looking down into the barrels of a pair of danger ous looking pistols. As soon as the train was brought to a standstill one of the men went to the express car while the other kept guard on the engineer The robber forced his way into the express car and se- cured a package containing $500. The man backed out of the car and gave the signal to his companion, who joined him in flight to the woods.
 Another robbery occurred at the same place about three weeks later, when the men are said to have secured $155 in money and a jug of whisky It evident that both hold-ups were the work of the same parties, and detectives were put to work on the case.
 Ward was arrested short time after at Eldridge, near Carbon Hill, by Wilson and George Kelly. The history of his arrest has never been given out, although it Is said that he was found in the woods drunk with the stolen jug of whisky, and was bound with ropes while in that condition and brought to the city, and he was taken to a room in the Morris Hotel, where the officers of the Southern Express Company talked with him.
 On this occasion Ward is said to have madeaa confession in which he stated that he lived with his father and mother on a farm near Ben Brook, Texas, and that a man named Sullivan came to the farm and secured work. Sullivan, he said, induced him to join him in the business of train rob- ping, and held out promises of great gains The Berry station hold-ups were the first jobs he was in. His tale was plausible one, and was afterwards verified.
 An effort was made to catch Sullivan who was well known at the business, and was wanted for several other jobs. He was traced to the Mississippi state line, where his trail was lost, and nothing has since been heard of him.
 Ward was known in the jail as Happy Jack" He is a man of striking appear ance, with a full, round face, and since Charley Meyer was released from jail oc cupied the position of inside turnkey
 Ward will be taken to Pratt City in a few days to begin his long sentence.

HAS NOTHING ID DISCUSS
Chas' A. Senn Replies to the Chal-
 lenge of Chas. B. Powell.
SAYS HE HAS LWAYS BEEN
For Free Silver and Will Continue to Work for It-He Leaves Ii to the Decision
 of the People,

The Age-Herald was furnished last night the following letter, which is a copy of one addressed by MT. Chas. A. Senn to MT. Chas. B. Powell, which explains itself:
 Birmingham, Ala, March 22, 1898. MT. Chas. B. Powell, City.
 My Dear Sir-I am in receipt of your favor, a copy of which also apepared in The Age-Herald of this date proposing that we enter into joint discussion, and the issue proposed by you is whether I 'thave always believed in and contended for the doctrine of the free and unlimited coin- age of gold and silver"
 1t is matter of surprise to me that any one at all acquainted with my political views, should question my loyalty to the silver cause I adhere to the principles announced in the Chicago platform, and believed in and contended for them prior to the date of that convention and since. When you challenge or deny this state men of fact, surely it must occur to you that there is no room for the discussion of the question thus raised
 Aside from this we are seeking the nom- ination for associate judge of the city court, and I am unwilling to the bringing of this high office into the realm of partisan discussion.
 I believe in the free, unlimited and inde- pendent coinage of silver and gold at the ratio of Is to l. You say you believe the same. l am in entire harmony with the declarations and principles of the demo- cratic party, and you claim to be in har- mony with them.
 There seems, therefore, to be no issue between us for discussion, except that of competency and merit, and this the people must determine for us.
 respectfully decline your proposition.
 Yours very respectfully,
 CHAS. A. SENN.

PERILs OF AFFECTION.
Tender Sentiment Is-A Physician's Good Advice.

'eThere is no way by which people sx- haust themselves, or kill themselves, 20 quickly as by exercising the affections"
 This striking remark was made by one of the best physicians in America. He was a man who had studied deeply, observed keenly, and knew men and women thoc- oughly. Continuing, he said:
 Sentiment is a grand, a lovely thing, and the world cannot live without 1t, but the exercise of the sentiments Invariably exhausts. People may not feel it. but it is true nevertheless. A man or woman wears out, breaks down, and then wonders at the cause. There should be no occasion for wonder. I have explained the cause"
 If the men and women of the nine teenth century do not feelf the forces that produce sentiments, affections, feelings, they are certain to break down, to become exhausted, and to die before thedr time. Do nob tell me these things are theories, for they are solemn facts"
 You ask me what I would do,' he con tinued. T answer: Begin to feed these forces feed them constantly; feed them with the best and most scientific discoy- is the best, unhesitatingly say 1t is that grand preparation which has been so long before the people and Is so popular, War ner's Safe Cure. I know that 1t possesses powers known to no other discovery, ana I know that thousands of men and women cannot live without 1t today. If you will stop and think or ask your friends, you wall see that what say is correct, and l believe be led to try it at once If you have not already done so."
 The facts stated by the doctor and the advice he gives are sound. It is absolutely true that many men and women are en- abled to live and endoy Efe entirely through the power which this great remedy gives them, and there are thousands of others who need to follow in the same path.

MISSISSIPPI ON A BOOM.
Rain Has Been Falling Five Days and Low Re-
 gions Will Soon Be Flooded.

St. Louis, March 22-The steady down pour of rain for the past five days has not excited alarm, but there is a strong prob ability that some regions of the Mississippi valley will suffer the disasters of flood The fall has been exceedingly heavy and for the past forty-eight hours the river has risen steadily at the rate of an inch per hour. The rain extends nearly all over Missouri and Eastern Mississippi valley. Local Observer Frank Enfield states that the rainfall for March has already passed the average fall by 2.59 inches.
 Tonight at midnight the river gauge reg istered twenty-two feet with a probability that it would reach twenty-five feet by morning. In the district south of the city, the river is almost over the banks and the inhabitants worked all day in the pour ing rain to remove their belongings to places of safety. Almost the whole terri tory presents the spectacle of swamp in places many acres being inundated.

Meridian, Miss, March 22.-The twelve jurymen in the Lipscomb case accepted by Judge Huddleston were rendered to the de- fense today. The defense filed a plea of jurisdiction.

When court adjourned seven men had been selected A hot fight is being waged by the defense on the legality of the present proceedings, but Judge Huddleston, one of the most learned jurists in the state, is determined in the matter, feeling, as he does, that he is backed by all the authority necessary in the stand he takes.

 W. L. Rush was endeavoring to roll a barrel of oil from the burning building fire. When the explosion occurrep ali rushed for the doorway and for few seconds the entrance was blocked and no one could gain an exit. Finally when MT Rush succeeded In reaching the street ms clothing was a mass of flames and he was terribly burned about the arms and legs.
