THERE IS TROUBLE IN BEAT NO. 34

The Age-Herald is authorized to announce that Walter L. Howard has withdrawn from the race for clerk of the circuit court of Jefferson county.
 This is the latest move on the political checker board of Jefferson county and was one which caused great deal of surprise among MT. Towards friends yesterday. There were some unfounded rumors ahoat week or two ago to the effect that MT. Howard had withdrawn from the race, but when the limit for entering the primary expired last Monday and Mr. Howard was still in the race, every one believed that he would remain in it till the last.
 But the following cards explain them selves:
 Birmingham, March 26, 1898. I have this day withdrawn from the race for clerk of the circuit court for Jefferson county. I take this opportunity of thank ing my many friends for their loyalty in my behalf and for the generous support they have given me.
 WALTER L. HOWARD.
 Birmingham, March 26 1898. MT. Walter l.. Howard has this day re- quested me, as secretary of the arrange ment committee of Jefferson county, to withdraw his name from the democratic ticket as candidate for clerk of the cir cult court. B. A. THOMPSON. MT. Howard would make no statement to why he was withdrawing, other than that he had some personal reasons for doing. He does not withdraw in favor of either of the other two candidates
 There is great deal of doubt as to which of the remaining candidates Mr. Howard s strength will go. Some say to one and others to another but as far as could be learned the opinion seemed to be that MT. McAdory would get more of it than Me Cartly.
 a1r Howard has made thorough house to house canvass of nearly every beat in the county, and has made numerous friends who regret to see him withdraw from the race.

The customer blazed away with his
gun and sent a spike" across the
room. Instead of hitting the stove the
missile struck a stack of poker chips
and delayed a game that was in pro-
gress on the other side Of the room.
Then there was a small. but very in

SPASM OF EXCITEMENT.
A Driver and Four Horses Have a Mar
row Escape.

Centerville was thrown into a spasm
OF excitement yesterday afternoon by
the spectacle of n four-horse team and
heavily laden ore wagon sliding back
wards down between two houses in Cen
ter street. One of Jones' ore wagons
had reached a point within 200 feet of
Main street when the hind end Of the
wagon swung around and over the steep
alleyway. The great weight of the
load pulled the four horses backward
and wagon. horses and driver dashed
dowl the precipitous slope for a dis
lance of 60 feet. The load would have
crashed through a house had not the
horses fallen and retarded the speed.
AS IL was the whole outfit brought up
against the woodshed within two feet
of a kitchen door. All but one of the
horses got up. The nigh" wheeler was
thrown over on his back between the
tongue and the woodshed. He
was dragged out by four horses and
escaped unlnjured. The wagon had to
be unloaded before il could be drawn
out Of the hole. The driver was not
injured.
