Maj. F. Y. Anderson Has Located Twen ty-One Nebraska Families There.

Mayor Frank Y. Anderson, land commits sioner of the Queen and Crescent system, returned yesterday from a trip to Omaha, Neb., where he has been for several weeks past trying to induce immigrants in Ne braska and South Dakota to move to Ala bama and locate on his road.
 There were twenty-one families living in that section who desired to come to the south, and last spring they sent two rep resentatives through this section who ex- amined the lands on the Alabama Great Southern, the Louisville and Nashville and other roads, and through Major Anderson S efforts they were at last induced to locate in the northern part of the state.
 Sixteen families will move this fall and the remaining five will come next spring All of them are prosperous farmers and will bring their own stock, household furni- ture and farming implements. They are the kind of people that it is desired should immigrate into the state.

COMPROMISE NOT YET EFFECTED
Between the Two Street Car Companies
 Several Propositions Made.

So far as is known nothing decisive was accomplished yesterday by the committee of citizens from Woodlawn and Gate City, which is trying to patch up the differences between the warning street car companies of the city.
 The committee called both on President Jemson and President London. Proposi- tions and counter propositions were made, but as stated, nothing final has been de- termined upon.
 The last proposition submitted Is as fol- lows:
 The Electric company is willing for the Traction company to use it's own track at Woodlawn where 1t crosses the Electric eompany's track, provided the Traction company will allow it to use the street on Eleventh avenue, between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, South. MT. Jemison states further that he is willing to put in one track between those streets and equip 1t with electricity, but if the Trac- ton company insists on the Electric com pany's using both tracks, instead of only one, that they, the Traction company, must equip the other track with electricity On the other hand, the Traction company in- sfsts that the Electric company shall put In and maintain both tracks.
 The matter is now standing.

LILY WHITE"
 REPUBLICANS
Nominate a Candidate for Con-
 gress in the Sixth.
DANIEL N. COOPER THE MAN
Will Be Triangular Race-Turner Ex- pelled from the Party-Democratic Primaries Occur on loth-Bank-
 head Will Be Nominated.

Congressional n:a.-,ers in the si& dis trict have assumed the predicted triangu- lar shape.
 Daniel Cooper United States marshal for the Northern district of Alabama, has been nominated by the boltng republicans of the district for congress- This was done at a convention held at Fayette Tuesday. Since the action of the regularly called re- publican convention in Tuscaloosa, three weeks ago, which nominated William Turn CT, the colored leader, it has been been known that the lilly whites would hold another convention, in which MT. "Nigger" would not be allowed to participate. They were not in it at the Tuscaloosa meeting. Judge Greene, MT. Bird and their aggre- gation being voted out.
 The Fayette meeting was accordingly called. and without opposition MT. Cooper received the nomination. Delegates from all the counties except Sumter were pres- ent. By motion, candidate Turner was ex- pelled from the party. He was accused of being irregular.
 MT. I. Greene, of Tuscaloosa, was elected chairman and l. H. Miller secretary of the district committee. The chairman was vot- ed power to appoint all necessary commit tees, which he says he will announce with in the next week.
 Chairman Greene was in the city yester- day and said to an Age-Herald reporter that he thought MT. Cooper had a very fair chance of election, and that Turner would not poll fifty votes, notwithstanding the heavy negro vote in Sumter, Greene and Pickens
 With the Democrats
 The democrats have not, as yet, named Bankhead. A primary will be held on the 10th of September, and MT. Bankhead's is the only name that will appear on the ticket.
 The only contest in the district is for members of the executive committee. There are contests in Greene and Pickens, which promise to be very lively.The candidates are: Tuscaloosa--F. s. Moody; Fayette, J. J. Ray; Greene. I. A. Levy, James A. Me- Alpine; Sumter, W. K. Pickens; Pickens, R. H. Long, A. M. Willett; Lamar, Walter NeSmith; Walker, D. s. Hardness; Marion w. A. Lee. Each county is entitled to one committeeman.
 There seems to have been some misun- derstanding in the state as to the qualifi- CdtiOl VI tuO FotSls HI thc siAtu, bouio pOu- tieians construing the publication to mean that the district committee had overridden the action of the state committee. This was erroneous. The qualifications of the district committee are as follows:
 That all white persons over the age of 21 years who have the qualifications prescrib- cd by the state executive committee for persons eligible to vote in the democratic primaries In the spring of 1898. shall be eligible to vote in this election.D

SHOT IN TIME TO
 SAVE HIS LIFE
Car Inspector Mark Collins, of
 the K. C. M. & B. R. R.
USED HIS GUN 10 EFFECT
son, a Negro Brakeman, Who Tried to Brain Him
 With Hammer.

Mark Colllns a car inspector for the Kan. sas City, Memphis and Birmingham rail- road, yesterday afternoon shot and pain fully wounded Rich Robinson, negro brakeman, who was attempting to brain him with hammer.
 It seems that Robinson has for the past few months harbored i'll feelings against MT. Collins on account of orders given him, and it Is said has openly threatened the life of the car inspector. Yesterday when MT. Collins was passing through the yard on Ninth avenue and Twenty-fouIth street Robinson, who was in caboose, called to him to come in and examine brake which he claimed was out of order. AS MT. Collins stepped into the car the negro started at him with raised hammer and exclaimed: "Oh, Yes. I've got you now" There was no time for pareying, and MT. Collins quickly pulled his pistol and fired one shot. which took effect in the fieshy part of Rob- inson's leg, bringing him to the floor of the car.
 The police department was notified of the shooting, and Officer Culpepper and Desk Sergeant Rowett went to the scene of the shooting and had the negro removed to his home, where he was attended by City Physician Wilder.
 MT. Collins in the meantime came into the city and surrendered at police headquarters. He was taken before Judge Reagan, who fixed his bond at $500, which he at once made and was released.
 Robinson claims that MT Collins came in- to the car and attacked him withou; warn ing.

RAILROAD APPOINTMENTS.
B. F. Wyly, Jr, c. w. Chears and H. S.
 Kealhofer All Go Up.

Atlanta railroad circles were pleased and surprised yesterday when President George C.. Smith of the Atlanta and West Point nounced that he had appointed B. F. Wyly, Jr., general passenger and ticket agent to succeed John A. Gee, resigned. For the past month much guessing has been going on as to who would be the lucky man to step into MT. Gees shoes, but no one sur- missed that Ben Wyly would be put into the passenger department of that system, because he has been identified solely with the freight department for the past ten years.
 MT. Wyly began his railroad career as depot agent and telegraph operator at An niston for the old East Tennessee, Vir- ginia and Georgia railroad; thence to Bir- mingham as southwestern agent of what was formerly the Piedmont Air Line. where he remained for some time. Capt. J. Y. Sage, who was then general manager of the Georgia Pacific railroad, recognized the worth of young Wyly and appointed him general agent of his road with head quarters in Atlanta, where he remained four years, then going to the Atlanta and West Point as general agent. This last position he has held for ten years, and he now goes up higher with the same people.
 MT Wyly is relative of Gov Joseph F. Johnston of Alabama, and he occupies a high position socially in Atlanta.
 < c. w. Chears, who on August 1 was ap- pointed general agent of the Georgia and Alabama railroad, with headquarters at Montgomery, has accepted service with Central of Georgia railroad and will go to Columbus, Ga., today to assume his new duties.
 MT. Chears is well known in Birming- ham, having been for number of years assistant general freight agent of the Kan sas City, Memphis and Birmingham rail road, with headquarters in this city. He was universally popular with both the men with whom he was thrown in his bus mess and with the people of Birmingham in general.
 w. J. Jarvis, general freight agent of the Florida and East Coast railroad, has re- signed his position with that road to accept service elsewhere, and H. s. Keahofer has been appointed assistant general freight charge of the traffic department, and will really have all the duties that MT Jarvis had. This appointment was made to go into effect today by J. c. Beckwith, traffic manager of the road.

Denies That He Had an Altercatlon
 With Dave H. Brown.

The following telegram was received last night from The Age-Herald correspondent at Huntsville. It is the statement of Colo mel Edward Duffy, of the Sixty ninth New York volunteers, with reference to diff culty which occurred last Sunday night be- tween David H. Brown, of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, and some of the officers of the regiment:
 Huntsville, Ala, August S1.-(Special) Colonel Edward Duffy, Sixty-ninth New, tonight handed The Age-Herald correspondent the following:
 ''To The Age-Herald:
 The statement published in The Age Herald of August 30, stating that I ex- asperated David H. Brown by swearing and that he drew a pistol on me in the Norris hotel is positively untrue. I never saw MT. Brown in my life, and I never had a controversy with him. I was not sent to bed, neither did I en- gage in profanity as you report.

DECLINES PROMOTION.

Captain Mosher's Disabilities Prevent
Acceptance of Lieutenant COIoneIcy.
Captain Theodore Mosher of the I'D In
fantry, who was promoted to d lieutenant
COionelcy in the 1st Regiment of District
of Columbia Volunteer Infantry, because of
conspicuous gallantry in the two days
fighting before Santiago, has written a let
ter to the President thanking him for the
promotion, but expressing grave doubts as
to his ability to accept the place on account
OF his present physical condition. Leuten-
ant Colonel MOSher was badly wounded at
Santiago and is now in the hospital un-
dergoing treatment 1t will be some time
before he is fully recovered from the ef-
fects of his injuries, and it is possible he
may be a cripple for life. The President
did not consider the grounds stated by the
ofncer as suthcient 10 justify him in ac-
cepting his declinatiOn of the promotion
lie has, therefore. directed that the matter
be held in allegiance in the hope that Lieu
tenant Colonel Mosher may yet be able to
resume his military duties in the rank to
which ne mas been appointed. In the mean
tlne ne has been granted Indefinite leave
o. absence On account OF sickness.

FOUND DEAD IN HER BED
Mysterious Death of Mrs. Nary Hardy at Her
Home on Missouri Avenue.
Acting Coroner Glazebrook Decides
to Hold an AutOpsy-Result of
the Investigation.

Mrs. Mary Hardy was found dead in bed
at her room in Mangan's boarding house,
No. S35 Missouri avenue, about o'clock
last night. Mrs. Hardy's mother called
to see her, and after knocking on the door
several times and receiving no response
she called Mr.. Mangan. who forced open
the door. The dead body of the woman
was found on the bed The police were
called to the house, and Policeman Newkirk
in his report stated that it was supposed
the woman had committed suicide by TAX
iEg creosote. This supposition resulted
from the presence in the room of bottle
that had contained some creosote.
Mrs. Hardy's husband died only a short
time ago, and creosote was used by him.
The widow was very much affected by the
death of her husband, and while she has
appeared gloomy she has never said any
thing to indicate that she contemplated
self destruction.
Acting Coroner Glazebrook was sum-
moned to the house, and he gave perrlis-
sion last night for the removal of the body
to Harvey's undertaking establishment.
This morning when he Investigated the
case he could not find sufficient reason to
state any particular cause for the woman S
death. For this reason he decided to per-
fern an autopsy.

STATE ISSUES IN OHIO.
Likelihood That the Democratic
Fight viii BE Confined to Them.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio. August 2O.-It seems
likely that neither the silver question nor
any other national issue will be urged by
the democrats in the coming state cam
palgn.
A prominent member of the delegation
from this county, who is opposed to the
Dowling-Sorg combination, said today that
II his element Of the party secured the con-
trol OF the Dayton convention at Dayton
next week il would base the contest this
year on purely state issues. There would
be no attempt made to urge the silver
issue He said he was as thoroughly a
free silver man as he was two years ago.
and stiH held Bryan in high estimation
but he did not think it polite at this time
to press these matters.
He added: And 1 thin. the other faction
would pursue the same course in this mat
ter. The democrats of Ohio will make Sem
Gtor Hanna and his election to the United
States Senate the sole issue in the cam
paign this year. They believe the senator
is very unpopular n his party and will
keep him and his election constantly before
the people. We will not let ourselves be
put on the defensive. l hope no attempt
will be made to critioise the MANAGEMENT of
the war. L should oppose the presentation
OF a resolution indorsing Bryan for 900
but If 1t comes to a vote would support it
