Will Go to Santiago As An Army
 Surgeon.

A telegram was received in this city yes- terday announcing that Dr. J. D. Dabney, the well known physician of this city, would be appointed one of the acting sur- geons in the United States army and that he would be sent to Santiago almost im- mlediately
 Dr. Dabney is one of the most expsri- enced physicians In the south in yellow fe- yer. Last summer he voluntarily left his practice here and went to Clinton. Miss, into a hotbed of the yellow plague, where he treated the patients with marked suc- cess The board of health of Mississippi put him fin entire charge of the medical department of that city and he won the admiration of the whole state by the man. ner in which he checked the disease.
 When Dr. Dabney became an applicant for position in the army the health board of Mississippi gave him an unqualified in- dorsement for the position, and 1t doubt- less had good effect with the hospital de- partment of the army. He has also req ceived the strongest kind of recommenda- tions from the citizens of Birmingham and had the Influence of Representative Un- derwood behind him.
 There are large number of Birmingham boys now at Santiago, and it is more than probable that others will go. Many of the parents and friends of these boys were congratulating Dr. Dabney yesterday.

 Fate-Accidental Killing
 at Tallassee, Ala.
WAS CAUGHT IN FLORIDA

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 22.-Sheriff Block of Geneva county and MT. Henry Graves of this county brought to Montgomery to- day Henry Hall, the negro who murdered young, James Belser in the store of his uncle, at Pike Road, last week. They caught him in Walton county Florida, about ten miles south of the Alabama line. The murderer made no resistance and did not attempt to conceal his identity. He was worn out from his long and sleepless chase and appeared indifferent to his fate. To a reporter he this morning acknowledged that he shot MT. James Belser, but strove to palliate the vile assination by saying: 1T did not go dere to kill MT. Jim, but he got into scrap with my brother, and I jist pulled the gun down and shot before I knep- it. I didn'H know I was gwine to kill him. Den I Fun and l been running nearly ever sinceP
 The facts in theJcase however, show that the two negroeit John and Henry Hall, came to the sto E for the purpose of rais- ing fuss and that Henry deliberately placed his double barrelled gun close up to Mr. Belser's side and fired, the load passing entirely through his body.
 There is a general ujoicing that both murderers are now in custody and that thev will be speedily tried and punished by due process of law, in accordance with the horrible crime they have committed.
 The eBlser family have relatives and scores of influential friends from the rem nessee valley to the gulf coast who will be glad to know that the murderers of noeie- hearted James Belser will soon be brought to justice. ,,,
 Sheriff Block and MT. Graves will receive the s25O reward offered by the state for the catpure of the negro.

SEVEN LIVES LOST.
Terrible Accident Occurs in Tunnel
 Near Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 23.-A terrible accl- dent happened by which seven men lost their lives occurred early this morning in the tunnel of the Charters division of the Panhandle railroad at Carnegie. The work of tearing out the tunnel has been pushed night and day by aforce of 200 men. Much blasting has been done, and although 1t is said every precaution has been taken to prevent casualties from the reports re- ceived at the hour of writing this, 1t seems that by using too large a quantity of ex- plosives an unexpected amount or earth and brick was loosened which caved in on the workmen. Fs
 The first report was that fifteen of the men had met death, but it was later learned that but seven of those engulfed by the fall of a mass of rock and aerth received fatal injuries.
 Further particulars not obtainable at this hour.
