PERCY TURNER
 AND NICK REED Crushed to Death by a LocomO-

 and Escaped.
BOTH RESIDED AT GATE CITY

A horrible accident occurred at Lincoln. station forty-six miles east of Birming- ham on the Southern road yesterday morn ing at 5:O5 o'clock, which resulted in the death of Percy Turner and Nick Reed, two young men residing at Gate City.
 Turner and Reed with three other young men-Chester Arthur, Will Williams and Jack Walker left their homes at Gate City at o'clock Friday night for River side, on the Coosa river, on fishing expe- dition, going out on eastbound freight No. "A As this train does not stop at River side they got off at Lincoln water tank, five miles beyond Riverside, and started to walk back. Late at night, being weary. they lay down on the railroad track and fell asleep
 At 5:05 yesterday morning a freight train coming in from Atlanta, drawn by engine No. S3, with Engineer Odell at the throttle dashed along the track where the young men lay. Engineer Odell saw them and quickly reversed the engine and blew warning. Arthur, Williams and Walker were awakened and escaped before the en- zine reached them, but Turner and Reed were not so fortunate and were horribly mangled by the locomotive. Their bodies were whirled into the air and crushed al- most beyond recognition.
 Turner was instantly killed. Reed was picked up and brought into Riverside, where he died just one hour and eight min utes after being struck
 The remains of the young men were brought to Gate City at 11:45 on the passen- ger train, and turned over to their fam ilies
 The funeral of young Reed will occur from his home in Gate City at 1:30 this af- ternoon and his remains will be inferred in Oak Hill cemetery. Turner's remains will be inferred at Woodlawn.

Mr. Lomax Is an unconditional supporter of Alabamas senior senator, however, and illnot be a candidate for the office so lang as Senator Morgan may desire to represent his state.
 Messrs. Massey Wilson, of Grove Hill. and John F. Proctor. of Scottsboro were here. Mr. Wilson has filled the position of clerk of the house for three terms and will probaly have no opposition to succeed him self. Mr Proctor was secretary of the last senate, to which position he again as- pires. They are both working young demo- crats of prominence.

 This has been the most representa- tive meeting I have known a democratic state executive committee to hold, said Wilson Brown of Sheffield, last night. Almost every member has been present. It means one of two things-the state is so safe for the democratic party that it's representa- tives come here to have a good time or else the representa- tives from counties which have not been democratic since 1892 have determined to win back these coun- ties to the democratic column.
 Tt means that the Dean ticket will be the last populist state ticket ever put be. fore the people of Alabama. The demo- cratic party will hereafter be the one party or any consequence in this state.
 Chairman Robert J. Lowe is making a wise campaign manager. He is making every effort to bring the white people of the state together, and if there is any one man in the state who accomplish this purpose it is Bob Lowe. Indeed, in Chair man Lowe and Secretary Nathan L. Miller l believe that we have two of the abest democratic managers in the state of Ala bama. That they will be thoroughly sue cessful is a foregone conclusion"

ITALY FRIENDLY 10
 THE UNITED STATES

Washington, July 9.--General Draper, the American ambassador to Italy, has arrived in the city on leave of absence for sixty days. He had Q talk with President Me Klney and Secretary Day today. It Is ab- soutely known that General Dtapers visit has no connection with the talk that Spain is making overtures for peace. He gave the administration to understand that the whole of Europe is anxious 10 see peace, and is gradually putting pressure to Spa Il to force her to ask for honorable terms from the United States General Draper $ opinion is that Italy is more friendly to the United States than any European power except England.
 It is said that he has informed the state department that all information received by S!m in Rome was to the effect that Germany is likely to make more demands as to the Philippines than any other European power. England, as he under stands the drift in diplomatic circles, will be glad to see the United States perma- nently take possession of the islands.

CUBE ROOT MADE EASY,
How Any Fright Scholar May Learn to
Tell 1t Ofhand,

How Any bright Scholar May Learn to
Tell 1t Onhand.
To tino the cube root of any given
number OF figures offhand seems All al
most impossible feat, but vet it is SIM
pie enough when one knows how to do
it-so simple, indeed, that any bright
boy can learn to do it in a few weeks.
First he must know exactly what a
cube is-namely, that it is the result
OF multiplying II number by itself
and then multiplying the product by the
original number. Thus, 3 multiplied
by 3 equals 8, and 8 multiplied by 3,
the original number, produces 81. which
consequently is the cube of 3. The cube
root of q is the original number, 3,
and to find the cube root is the reverse
Of finding the cube. The would be adept
at this art should first study carefully
the following figures:
lHl%l= l 2x2&2= 5 S<3x3= q
4&4<Ea 5<5xela5 6<6<6-als
'X7H7-3E s&s&-5l2 aHqXe73
a close study of these figures shows
that 2 multiplied in this manner by it.
self results in s, that s multiplied by
itself has ? as a final figure, that 3 null
tiplied by itself has : as a final figure,
that ! multiplied by itself has 3 as a
final figure, and that i, 8, 6 and 9 null
tiplied by themselves have their origi-
nal figures as finals. Hence the artist
knows that any sum given to him the
final figure of which is S must have 2
as a cube root; that if the final figure
| no ~ tho or no root S,S,-t DO q nnl or
on.
For example, give him the figures
74,OSS, and he can at once tell that AZ
is the cube root, for the reason that II
has 4 as a cube root, as the cube of 4 is
"a, while the cube of ) is l25, much
more than II, and 0SS has 2 as a cube
root.
Or give him a more difficult problem,
as, for example, the figures 324. 1863.
Then he will see at a glance that 324 is
more than 2l6. which is the cube Of 6,
but is less than 343. the cube of :.
Therefore the cube root Of these three
figures is 6. In like manner the final
figure of 800 being 8, it follows that the
cube root of these three figures is 9, and
thus the cube root Of the six figures has
been shown to be 60.
Any enc can test this method fol
himself, and a little practice is all thai
is needed to make one as deft in sucl
jugglery Of figures as the best light
ming calculator"
OF course a skilled arithmeticiar
could easily frame problems that coulo
not be solved in this offhand fashion,
but such difficult tests are seldom offered
BY public audiences, and. as a rule. the
artists are easily able to answer al.
the questions asked of them.-New

MONEY TO BURN.

They Burned 1t and Later Wished They
Had Kept the Fuel.
"When Burnside made his mud march
on to Fredericksburg, we men in the
a had some gay times, remarked
a veteran Of the civil war. lit was a
long while before the Johnnies would
let US cross the river, but when we did
get across we made the fellows who had
been shooting at us for the past three
hours get right up and dust for safer
quarters. The infantry 0 o followed us
and took up their position along the
river toward Falmouth, while we Skin
mished through the town. When we
came to the Planters hotel, we just
walked in and took possession. Every
body had deserted the place and we did
just as we pleased. In going through
Il of the rooms | came across three
bundles of Confederate notes. Each
bundle was labeled to contain So, 600,
and as | held them aloft l shouted to
the rest of the men that we now had
money to burn. They laughed, and I
thrust the notes IN my pocket. The
Johnnies had taken or destroyed every
thing to eat, and, as for liquor, there
wasn't any i'll the town.
After satisfying ourselves that there
was nothing further to be had in the
Planters hotel we sailed forth and
walked up toward the home of the

coffee in his haversack, so l thought we
might have a little coffee if nothing

then discovered that we had no firewood.
There was some tall swearing just at
that time, for the Johnnies hadn't left
so much as a match behind them.
1--we Got it,! I cried, and l hauled
out the three bundles Of notes I had
found in the Planters hotel. My ex-
preston was greeted with a shout by
my companions and-we had money tc

How Cold Metals Sometimes Mix.

Professor Roberts-Austen's discov.
cries Oh the subject of the jnterdiffusi
bility Of metals is most interesting
reading. The facts have been to some
extent known to savants before the

more public attention was drawn, but
on hat occasion the results were made
more clear. 1t was then shown that
solid metals may be made to mix them.

lures.
Professor Roberts Austen has, in fact,
discovered pieces of metal engaged in
the very act of mixing themselves uI
one with the other. CT course the inter.
est Of this is that the interdiffusion oil
which we speak has been found to take
place when the metals were cold, and,
though this property in metals, to be
