Over 8 Monkey Wrech

From the Gadsden Times-News.
 The trial of Frank Martin, charged with the murder of Will Alexander, at Rock Springs, Ala, on the 9th of October, 1897, occupied one day and part of night last week of the city courts time. The story of the crime is a terrible one, and all sprung from row over the ownership Of a monkey wrench that possibly cost $1.5O, and human life paid the forfeit and now the murdered Is to suffer Imprisonment for life. As near as could be gleaned from the evidence the murder occurred as fol- lows: Martin and Alexander had g. row over the ownership of a monkey wrench and some blows had been passed and the two families were at outs. On the morn ing of the 9th of last October Will Alexan- der went to the saw mill owned by man named Woodward, where Martin was at work, and picked up his monkey wrench Here is where the testimony conflicts, some stating that Alexander struck Martin and ran, while others state that as Alexander turned to leave Martin picked up a double bit ax and made for Alexander. Anyway Martin pursued Alexander for seventy-five yards and coming up with him struck him in the back with the ax. knocking him down and cutting his back bone in twaine. While Alexander was on his knees, Martin cut him in the head and side of head, knocking Alexander fiat. Martin looked at him a second and remarked: Damn you, are you dead?" struck him in the face with the broad side of the Alexanders body presented horrible sight, simply being cut in little pieces where tlre murdered got in his work. The defense set up a plea of insanity. on the ground that he was frightened when a small babe and had spells once month and was uncomfortable at times. The de- fense sought to prove that he was non compus mentis and was a fit subject for the insane asylum, but the defense's own witnesses did not prove 1t. The arguments in the case were completed Thursday night and Friday morning Judge Disque charged the jury. AtS2 o'clock the jury came in and returned the following verdict: "We, the jury. find the defendant guilty of mur- der in the first degree as charged in the in- dictment, and fix his punishment at life i'm prisonment." When the verdict was read by Clerk Brooks, young Martin seemed unconcerned as he always has since the murder was committed. His lawyers say he is crazy, but it was proven he knows right from wrong. It is the opinion of many that he did well to save his neck. Martins attorneys will take an appeal to the supreme court

No mistake should be made in this mat ter. Alabama owes it to herself and to tllese courageous men who have assumed all the glory of the civil war. that the same guard of honor shall stand in the very front of the tflickest of the fight But after granting the bautalion this privilege of adding to the Caesarian reputation what lies before the unoffending public! Wau some of these warriors return and live to tell the tales of two wars. instead of one! The very thought of this possibility makes men grow pale with anguish. The fear or this honor should break the, war spirit of fine most daunt.ess Alabamian.

Ran and Caught the Car.

A short man with is fat, red face ran out of the Erie railroad depot at the foot of West Twenty third street the other forenoon and chased crosstown car which was midway between Eley- enth avenue and the ferry. He was a fast runner and held his hat in his left hand as he gained on the car. The pas sengers OH the rear platform, in spirit of mirth, encouraged him:
 Don't give up. You'll make it. Make a spurt, old boy. This is your last chance to get car before two min utes, one of them said.
 At Eleventh avenue he caught up, and, perspiring profusely, sprang upon the rear platform. He appeared happy, and when he handed his fare to the con ductor he said; "These Bleecker street cars that run down Ninth avenue do not go often, so I ran to catch this one. " The conductor rang up the fare, and in matter of fact way answered:
 This car goes to Thirty fourth street ferry. Get out and wait for Bleeoker street car ,
 The sprinter got off as some of the passengers cried out:
 You can run anyway. It Is better to run and lose car than never to per. spire at all ''-New York Commercial.

 Grand Dictator George A. Callahan of Maine is using every effort to create 0 re- Yival in the work of the order ill that state. It is evidently one thing to declare in favor of increasing the membership of your lodge and quite another to get out and do little work yourself to accomplish the result.

MAKING READY FOR A RUN.
A Locomotive Is Almost as carefuIty
 Groomed as Race Horse.

Running the Fast Express" is the title of an article by George Ethelbert Walsh in St. Nicholas. Mir Walsh says:
 The engineer comes down to his poss of duty nearly an hour before his train is scheduled to leave All night long in siile rouEdhouse the engine has been carefully watched; wiper has spent the whole night rubbing down the pant, ing. snortng iron h6fse until every rod and cylinder shines like gold or s4ivefl the banked fire has been kept going, So that little steam has been always in the boxes, and before he left at night the fireman put everything in perfect order inside the cab, The fireman ap- pears first ill the morning and inspecta the work of the roundhouse men, and if any part is not satisfactory he makes 1t so. The engineer makes his inspection after the fireman and thoroughly and carefully examines every part. All the bearings are then oiled, and the oil cups are filed with oil. Next the engine is run out of the roundhouse and tested. Fifteen minutes before the time to start the engine is coupled to the train, and the steam and airbrakes are tested.
 No race horse was ever brought to his post better fitted for running the course than is the locomotive of the fast ex- press. In addition to the tests already made, mechanic goes from wheel tc wheel, and upon every one strikes s sharp. resounding blow to ascertain if the wheel and axle are sound. Nuts an6 bolts are examined. The engineer an6 fireman are held responsible for the per feet condition of the engine and cars be' fore the start is made.

IN THE HINTERLAND.
WEALTH OF WEST AFRICA THAT FRANCE AND ENGLAND ARE AFTER.

The Tradesmen of the Two European
 Countries Are Engaged In Struggle
 For Conquest Which May Call For Ar
 bttration to Prevent a War.
 James Pinnock, African merchant of Liverpool, who was one of the original promoters of the Royal Niger company and director for many years, i'll the course of an interview with represent ative of The Daily Mail, said ''I went out to west Africa 40 years ago and vis- ited almost every port and place in that region, including the Niger, many times, and my business has been with west Africa ever since. In 1870 I built a steamer, called the Rio Formoso, spe- cially for service on the river Niger, and with her explored and opened up, for the first time in history, the river For cados This river flows into the Atlantic and is one of the entrances to the Niger.
 4The Importance of this great river Niger and the hinterland is well known to those who are engaged in the African trade, but we can only expect it will slowly dawn on the mind of the British public, 1 am convinced, however, tho more they look into it tho more impor. tant they will see it is to the interests of British trade not to lose any of 1t.
 arifteen years ago there were four firms trading on the Niger. They were the West African company, the Central African Trading company (and with this latter Taubman BF6s. -6ne of them now Sir Taubman Goldie-were con nected), Miller Bros. and myself. We all four firms joined and called ourselves the United African company, which was subsequently, changed to the Ma tional African company and after that again to the Royal Niger company.
 ''The position today, continued Mir. Pinnock, "would be better understood if good map could be put before the public of the whole hinterland of our west African colonies. Such thing un- fortunately does not exist at present. The strict geography of the country is only understood by very few. Our knowledge of the hinterland, however, has increased immensely during the past few years, and to instance one partieu- larly large territory would point out that the French flag is already flying at innumerable towns and stations extend ing from degrees east longitude to 3 degrees west longitude and from about 6 degrees north latitude Gin the neigh borhood of Porto Novo and the Daho- mey country) to the town of Say on the Niger, which is between 18 degrees and II degrees north. The English flag is to be found to the east of Porto Noyo, and extending inland to the neighborhood of Nikki (now occupied by the French) to various degrees of latitude wherein are found the three British possessions and protectorates of Lagos, the Niger Coast protectorate and the Royal Niger company,
 Ut is from the interior, however. that tho future great wealth of Africa will be derived. and if all this is allow ed to fall into the lap of France she will be possessed of an empire second only if not equal ill the future to the whole of our Indian empire .z.z.

ing U. 9. Weather bureau station
Welcomed by Marine Men.

The chances Of Seattle's being fore
warned OF the arrival OF gold-laden steam
ers from ST. Michael have been improved
during the past week. owing 20 the trans
fer OF the United States weather bureau
station from Tatoosh TO Bahadia Point
Neah bay.
For years the fogs OF the Pacific and
the Straits of E'uca Seem to have taken
great delight in settling around the storm
racked weather bureau station at TatooSh
The greater part of the straits might tie
practically free from fog when Tatoosh
was surrounded with a mist that shut
out all view beyond a hundred yards 1t
has long been the wonder Of marine men
that the government station was kept at
Tatoosh When there were several other
points not 40 freouentei by the fog pest
During last week the station was removed
spd established at Bahadia point The
posn. is about three miles In a direct line
from Tatoosh island. and gives a range
OF view 10 great that hardly vessel can
eslter the sound without being reported
This is Of great interest to marine people
From the new station Seattle will be
notified 81 the incoming OF a gold boat
Twelve hours before the vessel can reach
the harbor. That IL unless the steamers
creep around Vancouver island very close
