Selma, August 31-(Special)-Th large and enthusiastic citizens meeting yester- day, gotten up with little apparent effort, means much for Selma The resolutions adopted inviting the Louisville and Nash vile to extend it's Ripton gap and come in- to Selma were as strong and forcible as words could make them. But it was the forming of a neoleus for a commercial as- sociation that will result in the most good from the meeting. Fifty business concerns came up and enrolled their names, and as soon as the committee appointed makes a draft of constitution and bylaws for the government of the club another meeting will be held to perfect the organization.
 The Age-Heralds representative is going around among the business men today. He has heard nothing but determination to put the association on substantial footing, and then to bend every effort to pull Selma

A TRAGIC SEQUEL
 TO ATHENS CASE Of Attempted Poisoning of the
 Logwood Family. ONE OF THE NEGROES KILLED By Young Logwood While in the Act of Murdering His Father-Further Trouble Is Antici- x
 pated.
 
ONE OF THE NEGROES KILLED

Decatur, August 3l.-(Special.)-A tragic sequel to the two recent attempts to poi son the family of Captain John E. Log wood, near Athens, occurred this morning
 Since the unsuccessful attempts to poi son Captain Logwoods family, It has De- come known to them that several negroes had sworn to kill the whole family and Tor fear of such an attempt being made, cap tain Logwoods son, Charles, has for seV- eral days been sitting up nights watching and sleeping in day time.
 Last evening two negroes, one of whom had been arrested as implicated with the negro cook in the attempted poisoning ana was subsequently discharged, went into the Logwood familys yard and were ordered out by Captain Logwood. They went away cursng. This put the younger Log wood on his guard, and he passed nearly the entire of last night in sleepless watch fulness.
 About o'clock this morning Charles Logwood, while lying awake and dressed in the bedroom adjoining his fathers, heard a noise, and slipping barefooted to the door, was mortified to See a negro, whom ne rec ognized as the one that had been arrested, standing over his fathers head with an ak raised, just in the act of striking Another moment and all would have been over with the elder Logwood.
 Young Logwood yelled at the negro, causing him to start and drop his ak and jump behind the door. Charles then raised his gun to fire, but the negro darted out into the yard, followed from the shadow Of the porch by another negro assassin.
 ct rtp6 n iumD over the back fence and then Charles fired both bar rels into the negro with the ax. The negro dropped across the fence mortally wounded. In the smoke and confusion the other ne- gro escaped.
 Neighbors then rushed in. One Of them called Charles Logwood's attention to the negro he had shot being still alive. Ner- yously young Logwood reloaded his gun and finished his man. The dead negro shoes and socks were found on the ground just under where he hung them on the fence
 Young Logwood promptly gave himself up to the authorities and was tried and &C., quilted before o'clock.
 The affair of the two poisonings and this horrible attempt to murder has naturally created intense excitement in the country in Limestone county, and it is believed that there will be still more serious trouble. It is the opinion of many of Limestone's citi- zens that the negroes have been put up to their heinous deeds by moonshiners, as Capt. Logwood and his son have both been especially vigilant as revenue officers, and it is known that the moonshners have sworn to kill them.

INTERESTING CASE.
D. L. Pugh Bound Over for Wife Poison
 ing-For Railroad Commissioner

Ashville, August 31.-(Special) )-Probably the most interesting murder case ever de- veloped in North Alabama will be tried at the October term of the circuit court7-the case of the state vs. D. l.. Pugh, charged with the murder of his wife by strychnine poisoning. The woman died suddenly at her home near Ashville on August Il under suspicious circumstances. Her husband declared she was poisoned by eating wa termelon pulled from the field of Tom Bowlin and obtained a warrant for Bow- lins arrest. A coroners inquest was held by Justice D. A. Mccain and the verdict of the jury was that Mrs. Pugh came to her death by means of strychnine poison administered by her husband. rs.rslfat sd j,
 Pugfl was at once. arrested and lodged in jail. The preliminary examination was held before Judge A. c. Watson of the county court. Messrs. John A. Inzer and William H. Gather represented the state and Messrs. Smith and Starnes. the de- fense. The stomach had been sent to Au- burn to be analysed by the state chemist, but the examination was; not delayed until such analysis was forthcoming, but was prosecuted on the hypothetical case made out by the physicians on the symptoms of death as detailed by the witnesses. aet
 The trial lasted several days, and, al- though the evidence was conflicting and purely circumstantial the prosecution suc- ceeded in having Pugh committed to jail without bail.
 Now letter from the state chemist re- ceived yesterday says the analysis indi- cates the presence of strychnine poison. Mrs. Pugh was quick with child at the time of her death, which will greatly aug ment the offense. Pugh's defense is that the poison was put into the melon vine and root and thereby grew into the melon.
 The evidence tends to show that Pugh had purchased strychnine enough the day before his wife's death to kill twenty men. which he says his wife wanted to kill moles with. An application will be made by his attorneys for writ of habeas cor pus.
 Dr. E. W. Jones, the Methodist pastor here, is an applicant for appointment as railroad commissioner. Dr. Jones is a member of the North Alabama conference, but will probably be compelled to retire from the active ministry on account of throat thorubles. He is an ex-confederate soldier, man of strictest integrity, of rec ognized ability, and would make good commissioner. He has many friends over the state and several political pulls which give him strength.

Eufaula, August 31.-(Special.) )-Captain J. R. Bar and Corporal Cohen, who have been recruiting the past two months, left for Jacksonville yesterday, where they will join their company, the Eufaula Rifles.
 MT. and Mrs. John Edmonson and others, have returned from their sojourn at the summer resorts.
 MT. H. c. Glenn, who has been one of our leading cotton buyers for a number of years, has been engaged by Tullis S Lam- phy to buy cotton for them in Clayton the coming season. He will move his family to that place next week.

 The steam barge, '"The Bradley" being built in Columbus, Ga. will doubtless be plying the waters of the Chattahoochee in about two weeks. She will have a capacity for carrying seven hundred bales of cotton for carrying TOO bales of cotton.
 The city is dull in a social point of view, only an occasional square dance or croko- nole party by the intermediates and Les petites, the meetings of the U. D. C., Up to-Date," and Euchre club being suspended for the heated term.
 The rain fell unceasingly on Saturday last and in showers Sunday. But on Monday the flood, gates seemed open, and it came in torrents. The showers were inadequate to prevent the water standing in the streets in some places a foot deep. The river overfiowed the Georgia banks, submerging acres of corn. From Friday morning until Sunday night, there fell 6.32 inches. Those keeping a record of the railfall say the rains of the past two months have been the heaviest in nine years.
 Miss Eliza Merrill sister of Colonel A. H. Merrill, has gone to Hillman, Ga., for a few weeks.
