NEXT GENERAL ASSEMBLY May Be Convened Without a
 State Senate. THE NEW CODE OF ALABAMA Has Been the Cause of Mixing the Dates for the Election of Senators Accom-
 modation Train.
fsnecial to The Age.Herald.l


 Huntsville, March 2S-Unless an extra session of the state legislature is held be- fore next August, Alabama may not have a senate when the next general assembly is convened. Last night William H. Simp- son. chancellor of this chancery division, called the attention of the chairman of the county democratic executive committee to bama
 Representatives in the general assembly shall be elected on the first Monday in Au- gust, 1898, and every second year thereaf- ter; senators from the odd numbered dis tricts shall be elected on the first Monday in August, 1898, and every four years there after senators from even numbered dis tricts shall be elected on the first Monday in August 1900, and every fourth year thereafter" This was in section 1575 of the new code.
 The constitution of the state requires that one-half of the senators and all the representatives shall be elected every two years unless the general assembly shall change the time of elections. The terms of senators are four years.
 An interesting question is presented. The even numbered districts have been pre- pairing to elect senators and there are doz- ems of candidates in the field. If the pres cnt law is observed the odd numbered dis tricts will have to elect senators this year an dthe even numbers wait until 1900. But here the thing becomes mixed, for in that case the present senators from the odd numbered districts would be busted before their time is out and this is beyond the power of the legislature under the consti- tuition. The section of the code which has

property, to purchase them al $500 00J I ask the publication of my letter on this subject, because I am sure your corre- spondent does not realize the fact that when he reports to the world that a certain syndicate has an option on certain prop critics that 1t injures very materially the credit of the company. I want to say as president of the Sheffield Coal Iron and Steel company referred to, that neither of the parties named, nor any other party or parties, have any option whatever the property of our company, nor can they se- cure an option on same; in other words, our property Is not for sale. We are in the business to stay, knowing 1t to be profit able, which fact we have demonstrated We have one furnace in blast with capac- ity of 250 tons daily; we will have the sec- ond furnace in blast within few days with capacity of 200 tons daily; and the third furnace with the current year of like capacity. Our credit Is excellent our iron is of superior make, and we are sold ahead about 10000 tons of iron, and we do not like our credit to be shaken in any way by these false reports.
 We are making money, and propose to make still more. We are located on the Tennessee river, which gives us a big ad- vantage over Birmingham or other like points in the manufacturing and shipment our output I have no objections to the gentlemen named securing options on other properties, but I don't want them or any newspaper correspondent to publish state ment to the world that they have an op- tion on our property, because 1t is a false hood. I ask, in justice to our company, the publication of this letter.

tinguished looking gentleman and graceful in bearing and pleasant in address. The greatest interest in the political campaign now we'll under way centers about the race for the chief justiceship of the supreme court, and Judge Mcclellan is something more than abreast of his competitor. His record as winner in political contests, no less than his splendid record in every of- ficial position which he has held, encour- ages his friends here to believe that he will win in Mobile county There is little req son to doubt that he will be considerably ahe ad in the state. There will be no con- test for the gubernatorial nomination, and therefore the race between Judge Me- Cleilan and Judge Coleman is, as we have said attracting most alt tentfon. The friends of the former in this city have said little, but that fact does not signify that they are indifferent. On the contrary, from this date they will be heard from, and they will speedily change the conditions. A brief sketch of Judge McCleilan's public career will, no doubt, be read with interest. In 1880 he was elected senator from Limestone coun- ty, and although one of the youngest men who ever sat in the upper house of the general assembly he was made chairman of the committee on revision of laws and quickly became prominent as lawyer and debater At the expiration of his senatorial term, he commanded so much respect that he was accorded by the democratic party the nomination for attorney-general. He was elected to the office by a large ma jority. March 6, 1889, he resigned the office to accept the position of associate justice of the supreme court. He was appointed under an act of the legislature February IS. 1SS9,) which increased the number of judges. Subsequently, in 1892 he was nomi- mated and elected for the regular term of six years. presently to expire. Judge Mcclellan Is recognized as man of great ability and will, if elected, make even a more creditable record than that to which his friends point with pride. He is thor ough democrat and stands upon his party's platform.

ROBBED OF
 $500 IN CASH
House Entered and Desk Con- taining the Money Broken Open. =..-=.
 z.-'
Special to The. Age-Herald.

CDeCldi lO l He h5S-A1tfdids Montgomery, Ala, March 2S.-Miss Caliie Vaughan was robbed of $500 in cash this morning.
 Miss Vaughan, with her sister, Katie, live in little cottage. They conduct a cigar stand onthe Central Bank corner, which occupies their attention until late at night
 Last night about Il o'clock they went home. taking as usual the $l0 in change in a cigar box. Miss Vaughan had on her person $500, this being the amount left after having settled accounts amounting to $400.
 The sl,2O0 was paid her by an insurance company Monday. and she had neglected depositing the remainder intending to leave for Nashville this morning and take it with her.
 When Miss Vaughan reached home she placed the money in an escritore, locked it and put the key in book
 About 3:15 o'clock this morning Miss Vaughan was suddenly awakened by a sus- picious noise, the pt-pat of clumsy feet on velvety carpet. The owner of the feet, who had his features effectually concealed by a handkerchief, bolted through Miss Vaughans room, which opens into the hall, evidently intending to leave the premises.
 Miss Vaughan's first impulse was to seize a revolver under her pillow and follow the receding, sihouetted form, which she believes to have been that of white man. The burglar ran to the front hall door, but failed to unlock it. He then ran to the rear door and jerlxed it open.
 The excited woman, watching her oppor- tunity fired three shots one of which is believed to have taken effect in his left arm, as he instantly dropped the cigar box containing the silver change
 The other bullets found marks in the panels of the door.

snecial to The Age-HeraId.

Montgomery, March 23.-The result of tho primary election in Russell county has caused a good deal of interest in political circles here as emphasizing the reunion of the white people of the state on the Chi cago platform as the basis of harmony.

 Russell is one of the counties where the populists have rejoined the democratic party and are acting in full fellowship.

Montgomery, Ala, March 23.-Assistant State Examiner Foster has rendered his re- port to the governor on the investigation of the books, papers and accounts of w. G. Davis, ex-tax collector of Walker county.
