SENATOR CANNON SCARED CAP
ITAI.

Speaking of Senator Frank ]. Can
mons attitude on the money question,
Mr.. Allen said that the negotiations for
capital to build the railroad were vir-
tually completed when the Republican
presidential convention was held in ST.
Louis nearly two years ago. Immedi-
ately after the boiling senator's declar-
atoms in that convention became
known, the syndicate which had agreed
to take the company's bonds declined
TO conclude arrangements, because of
the fear of success with such senti-
ments on the question of national
finance staring them in the face.

A WORTHY TRIBUTE.

Referring to the temporary failure of
the Utah & California railroad project.
Mr.. Allen said the death of Abram H.
Cannon was a severe loss to the COM
pany. Had he lived Mr.. Allen doubts
not that the road would have been in
process of construction ere this. In
the estimation of the gentleman, Mr..
Cannon had great capacity for large
business affairs. He was a broad
gauge gentleman, the soul of honor;
his character was too high for politics,
and he was too modest to push himself

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 Gadsden, Aug 23-Full particulars of the assassination of w. D. Clark, the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis rail- way agent at Albertville last night are as follows:
 Sunday Albert Teague, a young man, handed Clark telegram to send, saying, "Send this collect" Clark told him he would have to give quarter to cover the tolls.
 Teague did not do this, but went off, and returned in short time and asked Clark if he had sent the telegram. Clark told him no, and that he would not do so until the tolls were guaranteed. Teague became very angry and left the office, first destroy ing his unsent telegram.
 Last night Clark was sitting at his desk reading a letter. Teague and a younger brother came upon the platform with a double barreled shotgun and approached the telegraph office. At this time friend Teague threw his gun on him, thinking 1t was Clark. Finding his mistake, he told the man if he opened his mouth he would kUl him, and approached the window where Clark could be seen sitting.
 Raising his gun he fired, but just as he did so Clark's friend cried to him to look out. Clark lodged and his hat received the load of shot. Teague then fired again, this time bringing Clark to the ground He fingered through the day in great agony and died at sunset this evening. He was about 25 years old, and had recent ly inherited large fortune in Texas by the death of an uncle. Teague was ar- rested and jailed this evening.
