JOHN O'BRIEN
 ARRESTED
Killed "Jambor" Carneyin Green CTS Saloon Mardi Gras
 Night.

John O'Brien, the negro who, on the night of March last shot and killed "Jambor"
 Carney in Greener's saloon in First ave- nue, was arrested by the Pratt City police
 and turned over to Sheriff O'Brien yester-
 day morning.
 The circumstances of the shooting were
 most mysterious. O'Brien was bartender
 in Greener's place and on mardi gras night
 the house was crowded. Suddenly a pis-
 tol shot rang out, but it was scarcely no-
 ticed by the crowd on account of the
 music and general confusion. Carney was
 standing near the colored bar and started
 to the front door, As he reached the
 swinging screens he was seen to suddenly
 reel and pitch forward on his face.
 The crowd quickly surrounded him, but
 he was dead before anyone reached his
 side. O'Brien disappeared and no one saw
 him make his exit. Carney was carried to Warner & Smiley's undertaking estab-
 lshment where the remains were prepared for b urial. The only wound on his body
 was a bullet hole in his left arm. It was supposed that the leaden ball had ploughed l its way through the arm and into the chest striking the breast. The remains wer | shipped to Youngstown, O., Carney's old l home, for burial.
 People who were in the saloon at the time of the killing were unable to give the par tictIars of the deed. Out of a crowd of perhaps eighty, no one saw the shot fired, and only one or two noticed the report of the pistol. Likewise, no one noticed the sudden disappearance of the bartender For some time after the shooting the mysteriousness of the affair was the sub ject of general conversation, but finally
 the thing was almost forgotten. Upon
 being arrested OBrien admitted that he
 killed Carney but claims that the act was committed in self-defense. and says he will
 be able to prove this assertion. He alleges that at the time he fired the shot Carney
 was attempting to cut him with a knife over another mans shoulder.
 Those who were present at the time of
 the shooting are inclined to believe that O'Brien vas shooting at some one selse
 when Carney was killed. Carney was a man of about 26 years of age and was em- ployed as a puddler at the rolling mills. His reputation as to peace and quietness was excellent and he had not been drinking 1 to any extent the night he was killed OBrien's reputation Is of the worst, and l it is said that Carney was the fourth man | whom he has killed.

REVENUE BILL
 ALMOST READY The Democratic Amendments Will Be Considered
 Today.

Washington, May 9.--When the finance committee adjourned tonight the consider ation of the war revenue bill had been ale most entirely completed, although there were some puzzling projects still unsolved, one of which was the manner of dealing with proprietary medicinal articles There will probably be uniform tax on all of them. The committee has decided to place a license upon banks at the rate of $10O a year and upon brokers at the rate of $50. but has not yet determined whether the professions shall be licensed or not. On life insurance companies the rate has been increased five fold, being made 10 cents on every hundred dollars and 1t is estimated that this increase will add about a mill lion dollars in revenue. The provision for an inheritance tax and for tax on bills of lading were both adopted as were the provisions for taxing all dealings in fu- lures, including bucket shop operations. The bill as it will be reported will con- tain provision requiring that mem- orandum be made of all deals of this char acter, however small, and that two cent stamp be placed upon these memorandums
 The democratic amendments will be taken up tomorrow and there is very little doubt that they will all be adopted. as Senator Jones, of Arkansas, has indicated his pur- pose of standing with the democratst on all the principal changes they suggest. It is improbable that the consideration of the bill may be completed tomorrow. but 1t is not impossible.

Fishing Smack Captured

Key West, May e.-The Spanish fishing smack Santiago Apostal was captured by the gunboat Mayhower off Havana yester- day and brought in by a prize crew this afternoon. She was bound from Yucatan for Havana with a cargo of fish and a crew of ten men. She was rounded up with one blank shot. This was the only in- cident of the day which was largely de- voted to the circulation of alarming rumors of the sinking of American ships off the Cuban coast. Up to nightfall nothing ap- preaching definite evidence of the blockad- ing fleet had reached here. The story f1ourishing at that hour was of heavy fir ing heard off Havana This was brought in by small boats and was as much in need of verification ast he others.

lance of one cent at the same moment. AL though the last week has recorded two daily advances of 20 cents in May wheat, neither of these fluctuations has caused such frenzy in the pit as the boom in July wheat.
 That another volcanic session was to be encountered today was evident as soon as the first cable from Liverpool conveying the information that wheat had been boosted there to the extent of g5s cents a bushel over Saturday arrived. July wheat Jumped from Saturdays close of 106ss to 10eA in one bound at the opening. There was no break in the advance until 10 cents was added to the Saturday closing price and later in the dag the price went up to IDA. May wheat sazs kept within bounds by Joseph Letter for reasons of his own It is generally ad- mitted that he could have let out the price of May wheat to g today If he had been so minded. Instead Letter brought press ure to bear upon May What which con- fined the advance to 5 cents over the high point last week or to s175 A rush for cover by bears was one of the features of the market today. The mystery now which appeals to the entire wheat trade is the identity of the shorts in May wheat.
 There is hardly another corner in the history of the local board that reveals the bear in such tight place as he is now. It is unlike the situation which confronted Letter when there was still large amount of wheat in farmers hands, and he is today the only factor in May wheat without an opponent. The bears who have not yet reached cover cannot be regarded as his opponents as Letter has them as securely under his control as 1t is possible to have them During the last week Letters profits must have been enormous and from all in- dications he will dispose of the wheat which is not yet contracted for shipment at a fancier price than at present quoted.

ROSE BUFORD TO
 HANG JUNE "A Resentenced at Decatur by Judge
 Speake. CONVICTED OF A FOUL CRIME Says She Is Not Guilty, but Is Ready to Die Would Rather Be Hung Than lmpris- oned for Life-Tskes Her
 Fate Calmly
CONVICTED OF A FOUL CRIME

If the sentence of the law be carried into execution, on the 24th day of June next, Rose Buford, a negro woman, will die on the gallows at Decatur, charlked with the commission of one of the most terrible crimes known to the law and in this partic- ular case extremely paradoxical
 The woman was convicted together with Lewis Thompson and Walter Neville, two negro men, in connection with criminal assault upon Nellie Lawton, a 13-year-old girl at that place and sentenced to die on January last.
 The negroes were brought to this county for safe keeping, intense excitement be- ing caused at Decatur by the commission of the crime and the subsequent trial of the negroes. causing the state militia to be called out.
 Sentence was suspended pending an ap- peal to the supreme court.
 A short time since Rose Buford's case was stricken from the supreme court docket on account of irregularities. The cases of the two men are still pending.
 Saturday afternoon she was taken to Decatur by Sheriff Ryan, of Morgan county, and yesterday was taken before Judge H. c. Speake, who re-sentenced her to hang on June A.
 The woman was immediately brought back this city in charge of Sheriff Ryan and Deputy Morrow, and now occupies the condemned cell in the county jail.
 She was seen yesterday afternoon by an Age-Herald reporter shortly after her ar rival, and seemed unconcerned about her fate. She said: "They sentenced me to hang on the 24th of next month, and am ready to die, but will never believe 1t until they pull thetrigger. I am not guilty of the charge and know nothing about 1t they are going to hang me I wish they would do 1t this evening and not wait. I would rather be hung than to be imprisoned for life. and unless they turn me loose want them to hang me
 "I guess they will turn the boys loose after they hang me. When they arrested me and took me back to Decatur I told them the truth, but they would not be- lieve me. All my friends have gone back on me since I am in trouble I have no money and can't help myself The state furnished me a lawyer, but he didn't look after things right. I am not afraid to die because I am not guilty"
 The woman is above the average in intel lect and seems to feel perfectly reconciled to her fate.

VICTIM OF SPECULATION.
Robt. unbIum Dabbled in Wheat and Now He
 Is Sorry.

Chicago, May 9.-One failure was recorded today as the result of the fluctuations in the fluctuations in the wheat market and the man to go under was Robert Lindblun. one of the best known operators on the board of trade and president of the civil service commission. Immedioately after the close of business he made an assign ment in the county court to the Royal Trust company as assignee. the assets and liabil- ities being fixed at slOo.oOO and s125.oOo re- spectively.
 The failure of MT. Lindblom was entirely unexpected even among his close business associates. lit is attributed to the condi- tion of the wheat market and the fact that he was suddenly called upon during the day to provide margins for trades in bar ley amounting to $40000. MT. Lindblom found himself unable to respond to the call and decided to make an assignment in the county court so as to provide equallyl for all his creditors.
 Another record-breaixing twist distin- guished today's session on the board of trade. Veterans on change who witnessed and played a part in the operations of the board during the Franco-Prussian war claim to find a marked resemblance In to- days session. There were moments when the official reporter in the wheat pit heard traders offering and selling wheat at a var

Chickamauga National Park, May e.-The order of the secretary of war to the effect that recruits and re-enlistments may be made so as to terminate at the close of the war with Spain, has stimulated applica- tions for the regular army and the applica- tions are now very numerous. It is stated at the regimental headquarters that the regiments will now be filled with rapidity. Nearly 100 raw recruits were received today at the park and assigned to the various regiments. Special drill orders were issued today for three parades each day e~eept Sunday and Sunday only one drill to be oD% served, which is intended to get the re- cruits rapidly into fighting trim.

THE LOCOMOTIVE
 ENGINEERS
Will Urge That Their Next Bi- Annual Meeting Be Held
 in Birmingham.

The local division of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers held an important meeting Sunday in regard to taking steps toward bringing the next biennial conven- tion of the order to Birmingham. This con- vention will not be held until 19OO but steps must be taken now to influence this years convention, which is to convene soon in St. Louis, to decide on Birmingham as their next meeting place.
 At least 4SO delegates usually attend these conventions, and as they remain in session for thirty days 1t will be seen at once what big thing it Is for city to capture such a convention. The delegates, with their families, 1t Is estimated, bring from s75 ,O08 to $l00,000 into a city whenever one of these conventions Is held. The only thing that is asked of the city is to furnish the place for holding the convention.
 w. M. Sensabock will represent the Bir- mingham division at the St. Louis con- vention, and will do all in his power for Birmingham.
 The Commercial club and the newspapers will do all they can to advertise Birming- hams advantages, and if the convention Is not brought here it will not be their fault. Plenty of literature will be distrib- uted among the delegates showing Birming- hams attractions. Most of the large cities of the country have had. this convention, and the local Brotherhood insists that 1t is nothing but fair that Birmingham should have 1t next
 It Is possible that at the St. Louis meet ing 1t will be decided to hold annual con- ventions instead of biennial conventions. In this case. Birmingham will extend an invitation for the convention in 1S99
 Birmingham Is going after this conven- ton with a will, and there seems to be a good chance of getting it. Two other cities are bidding for 1t, but Birmingham stands an equal showing with either of them.
