KILLED BY TRAIN.
Young Sammie Noe Meets Sad Death
 Near Sulligent.

sullgent. November 7.-(Special.) )-Quite
 sad accident happened here Saturday after
 noon at 2:15 o'clock. Engine No 13 of the
 Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham
 railroad, with Engineer Sullivan and Con-
 ductor c. H. Smith, running west as the
 third section of freight train No. 52, ran
 over and killed sammie Noe, the 1s-year-
 old son of Wilson Noe, of Pine Springs.
 Young Noe was riding fin a wagon. driv
 ing pair of mules, and in attempting to
 cross the track in front of the train he and
 the mules were killed and the wagon
 knocked into splinters.
 It seems that when the train was heard
 approaching town the boy left Ling's black
 smith shop on North Side and drove west in the direction the train was running, to
 the crossing just west of the depot, which
 point the mules and engine reached at the
 same time. with the above mentioned re- suit
 The sidetrack, upon which a string of cars was standing, is also on the north side; the wagon road running parallel with and very near the sidetrack, is much lower than the track of the railroad, and the boy could not see the train until he drove upon the dump and out from between the box cars onto the main line. Neither could the engineer see the boy until perhaps the en- gin had struck the mules and dragging tine boy and wagon down between the running g train and box car on the siding, dropping him about cars length below the cross l ing, with the left side of his head badly crushed.
 he never afterwards spoke and died in l very short time
 Owing to the high rate of speed at which the train was supposed to have been rum ming, the engineer was arrested but the 1 boys father declined to institute criminal | prosecution, and he was released. 1 It was one of those unfortune affairs in which the most simple minded can after l wards see through and tell how easily il l could have been avoided Young Noe was | killed between where Trainmaster Pink l erton met his death and the spot where l Tom Irotter was killed years ago, the
 places not being 100 yards apart.

BIRMINGHAM INVENTORS.
Pig Iron Casting Machine and Device
 for Cleaning Slag Pots Patented.

Erskine Ramsay, of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company. yesterday re- ceived a notice from the patent office in Washington that a patent on a pig iron casting machine, which he has in- vented, has been granted. He is now hav- ing drawings made, and as soon as they are completed, he will have his invention patented in foreign countries.
 His machine is entirely different from the Jones & Laughlin machines being put in at the Ensley steel mills, and all of his friends who have examined his plans consider that it Is great improvement. MT Ramsay aI- ready has quite a reputation as an .n- ventor, the most important of his inven- tions being a coal washer, from the royal ties of which he receives a handsome in- come.
 The Tutwiler Coal, Coke and Iron com pany has just made arrangements for put ting in one of these washers. known as the Robinson-Ramsay, at their East Pratt mines, near Blossburg.
 A. E. Barton. J. w. Shook, John Shan non and Erskine Ramsay are now taking out patent on a device for cleaning out hot slag pots. This is an invention which has long been needed, and is considered great labor saver. These gentlemen have already sold number of these devices to furnace companies around the Birmingham district and in other states.

 Hon. oscar w. Underwood, democratic candidate for congress from the Ninth dis tricf, spoke at the court house Monday, to good sized audience. He is fine reasoner, a forcible speaker, and told his hearers many truths unknown to them. He is no ranting. sky-scraping, spread eagle orator, but speaks the truth in clear, honest, intelligent earnestness. He be- lieves what he says, and says it in a way that carries conviction to the minds of those who listen. He will be elected by a big majority: but it is the duty of every democrat and patriotic citizen to go to the polls next Tuesday and vote for him. He has made an able, hard-workng represen- tative. Do your duty, fellow democrats.

 The question is often asked: "Where does all the cattle bought by Henderson Ss Rainer come from" They recently sold 450 head and have five or six hundred head on hand now. The people have learned that there is demand for every COW they can spare and that they can turn them into money at any time they bring them to this city. There is competition in tine cattle business and there will be no trouble in getting the value of the animal offered for sale.

 For many years the question as to whether Elk river, on the western border of Limestone. was navgable or not has agitated the minds of the people in all that section Many years ago, that paper says, a boat ascended Elk river as high as Fayetteville, Tenn, but was never able to return and went to pieces near that place. At last the question Is to be settled The government now has three crews of sur yeyors In the county making careful measurement of the river, and testing it at all points, with view of seeing if it can be made navigable.

REPUBLICANS ALARMED.
THE FALLING OFF IN THE Vote IN
VERMONT AND MAINE CAUSING
CONCERN.
ALSO FACTION FIGHTS IN NEW
YORK, PENNSYLVANIA
AND OHIO.
APPREHENSION OF A LOSS OF
THE HOUSE OF REPRE-
SENTATIVES.

The Washington Correspondent of the Bal
timore American, writes:
Representative Babcock, the chairman of
the Republican Congressional Committee, has
returned to Washington from visit to New
England. Mr.. Babcock is veteran. He
has been at the head of the Congressional
Campaign Committee for several terms, and
his Judgment has always proven accurate.
Therefore, when Mr.. Babcock frankly con-
cedes that it will require good, hard work to
hold the next House for the Republican party,
Republican leaders everywhere will do well to
prepare for active effort this fall.
'1Several reasons are admitted for the falling
off in the Republican vote, which is expected
this fall Apart from the usual causes that
result in a decreased vote, such as the apathy
of an off year and the disappointment of office
seekers, there are this year unmistakable IN
dications of even grayer reasons for appre-
hension.
"The more thoughtful Republican leaders,
like Mr. Babcock do not deny the danger
that is threatening the party from the discon-
tent among the soldiers and their relatives
over Secretary Ayers mismanagement of the
War Department. OF course, none put the
situation as blunty as that. President Nc
Kinley has seen fit to throw the shelter of his
name over his Secretary of War, and the Re-
DuDflCdu lCduCiS thAot dNSOiNihSig NhNSASS
Secretary Ager and all he has done, and par
tieularly all he has left undone. But the dis
satisfaction over the War Departments fail
ures is recognized as a grave danger.
''Then there is the bitter factional strife in
different states In Ohio. the McKisson
Hanna fight; in New York, the Plat Black
factions; in Pennsylvania, the Quay Wanna
maker feud-all these local disturbances are
almost certain to show their results in the
election of Democratic members of the next
House to succeed sitting Republicans, and
thus reduce the Republican majorityto dam
gerous degree.
sin many states the local leaders have as
yet no knowledge as to what shall be made
the camprign issue. Thus, the campaign in
Indiana begins on Monday, but the spell
binders do not as yet know what attitudes they
shall assume on the results of the war. They
recognize that at any meeting they are likely
to be confronted by wan, gaunt, yellow-faced
skeletons in blue, who are soldiers returned
from the pest-camps where Secretary Alger
sent them, and they realize how dangerous it
may prove to laud the conduct of the war as
a Republican issue. 1t is generally accepted
that the safest policy will be to ignore the war,
and TO work the free silver issue again in the
hope of rallying to the Republican standard
the independent Democratic votes by which
President Mckinley was elected in 1896.
