Thursday. He stated that hog cholera

quainted with the State laws, which

be cremated, or buried several feet
under ground. From Shutdown and

havoc among hogs by reason of the

ing from the Butterfeld Advocate will
be of interest in this connection. Sur.
veyors of the Omaha road have been
busy surveying south and east of town

much conjecture as to what object they
have in view. Some of our local prog.
nosticators and castle-builders have
been busy all the week constructing
imaginary railroads leading from al
the cardinal points but always center
ing at Butterield. At rough guest
the nearest we can come to the name
of the new road is the "Butterield &
Elsewhere Railroad"

JULIUS MEEaL.
He is Charged With Robbing Coun-
 tryman.

Julius Meehl, a young white man about zs
 years of age, is in the city prison with the charge of highway robbery docketed against
 him. Meehl was arrested yesterday by Off,
 cers Bodeker and Kirkley, and 1t is claim
 ed that a strong case has been worked up
 against him
 Saturday night B. E. Bush, of Quinto,
 Alag arrived in the city, and it is said that
 he fell in with Meehl near the depot, who
 offered to direct him to boarding house.
 The stranger and his accommodating guide
 started up the street, and Meehl mentioned
 that he was hungry. The two men went into the Little Home Restaurant, in Second avenue, near Twentieth street, and took supper at Bush's expense. Having satis- fled their hunger, Meehl is said to have re- newed his offer to conduct ''his friend" to a boarding house, and started out with Bush in tow.
 Meehl carried his victim to the corner of
 Third avenue and Sixteenth street, and, 1t is said, dealt him severe blow, felling him to the ground Bush had been drinking, and does not remember clearly what hap pened. He was minus his pocketbook, which contained about $26, when he woke up," and was at first inclined to believe that he fell into a hole and had lost his
 pocketbook He was searching for 1t when several men who happened to be passing directed him to the police station, where he reported the loss of his money, although
 he failed to mention the circumstances, ev- idently not suspecting that he had been robbed
 Meehl has resided in Birmingham for a
 number of years. His father formerly con- ducted bakery in Third avenue near
 Fourteenth street, but died several years ago.
 Meehl enlisted with the First Alabama Volunteers. and since the regiment was mustered out has been about the city. He denies that he took Bush's money, or that he was in any way connected with the | robbery.

escape from two of these robbers. Accord ing to his story, he had just arrived at the end of the line at Avondale, and was stopping his car at the bottom of the hill. He saw two men standing under the sta- tion, and just as he stopped the car, they started toward him. He thought that if he waited 10 turn his trolley in the customary way, that as soon as the lights went out that they would jump on him.
 He therefore decided not to wait any longer, but reversing his car, started back up the hill without turning his trolley around and without taking his stand at the other end of the oar He speedily left the would-be highwaymen, and escaped with his car over the hill There an accident happened, however, which stopped him. His trolley slipped off the wire, and be- sides seriously bending itself, broke off one of the arms which support the wire at one of the poles.
 Jones waited for the next car to come along, when he told his story, and with the assistance of the new car, had his own car hauled back to the barn. Of course, by the time the next car arrived at the Avondale end of the line, the two mis- creants had disappeared.

ATTACKED A WOMAN.
Burglar Slashed Mrs. Mentzer With sa
 Knife.

A horrible crime was narrowly averted at Belle Ellen Sunday night by the rare presence of mind of woman.
 James Mentzer. who lives at that place, had gone off for while leaving his wife alone in their house. Some time after he left burglar entered the house, and, seiz- ing Mrs Mentzer by the arm as she att tempted to escape, slashed her throat with knife, making an ugly wound. She screamed and broke away from him, and ran out of the house as fast as she could and over to neighbours residence, where she told her terrible story Two of the men there immediately rushed over to the Ment- ger residence, when they found that the burglar had flown, after ransacking the house of all the valuables he could find. posse was quickly organized, and the country for miles around was ransacked. The search was continued all of yesterday, but at last accounts nothing had been seen of the villain. He would undoubtedly have been lynched had he been caught. The re- ports from Belle Ellen do not say whether the man was white or colored.
