\ JEWELRY STORE ROBBED
Decatur Branch of the Burglars
 Syndicate Not Idle.
BOOTY AMOUNTING TOS1OOO
Taken While the Proprietor Was at Supper Democratic Executive Committee Called
 sto Meet February i9, at Hartsell.
Special to The Age.Herald.


 Decatur, Feb 3.-The burglars syndicate which has been operating in the Decaturs for the past two months got in its worix last night in the largest and most success ful haul made yet. Loss between $500 and $, ,O0o
 Between and o'clock while the mana ger was at supper the jewelry store of Robert Beachman was entered from the rear by some one who either used skele- ton or e.se had a watch key to the lock on that door. The work was accomplished very quickly and must have been done by person familiar with Beachman's hab- its as the latter was not away from the store quite an hour. The burglar took twenty-five watches, solid and rolled gold, one tray of solid gold seal rings, one tray of bracelets, and one tray of rolled gold watch chains. No positive clue has as yet been discovered, but officers are at work on the case.
 By call of Chairman A. F. Murray the democratic executive committee of Nor gan coun.A A will meet at Hartselle on Feb ruary 19. Tine chief business will be the decision as to whether the nomination of candidates wim be by primary conven- tion.
  after the release on habeas corpus of Ed Gordon, Bill Mercer, the other witness &C., cused of perjury in the Rayborn burning case was yesterday set at liberty, having made his bond of $500. This now disposes of the cases until the grand jury meets in April.

porter and asked concerning the progress making in the construction of the road.
 MT. Smith said that the grading will be completed within the next ten days or two weeks to within a mile and half of Pascagoula river and to the site of Merrill City, forty-eight and one-half miles out from Mobile. The track is laid for thirty-seven miles and Is being put down at the rate of one-half to three-quar- ters of a mile day. There is steel enough on hand to lay the track to the end of the grade at Merrill City. As large force is at work on the construction of the road as at any time since work was begun and everything is moving systematically and rapidly.
 The combination passenger and freight cars are running regularly every day be- tween Mobile and MeCreary, about thirty miles. The business done is said to have far exceeded expectations and even during the yellow fever term more than earned operating expenses.
 MT. Smith says that new industries are opening up along the line of the road There are eight or ten stills and several saw mills in operation and more are con- templated The indications for large trade from that section with Mobile are excellent.

 G Handsome Home of John B.knox a Total Loss. NORWOOD'S HOUSE IN ASHES
 z. Fire Originated in the Knox Residence, Catching From the Furnace Other Buildings Slightly Damaged The Loss Is $25,000.
Special to The Agc-Herald.

Anniston, Feb. 3.-At an early hour this morning the handsome home of Hon. John B. Knox, on Tyler Hill, fashionable por- tion of the city, was discovered on fire. Before the fire was gotten under control MT Knoxs home was entirely destroyed, together with the fine residence of G. H. Norwood adjoining, and all the contents of both.
 Mr. Konx and his family had barely t.mis to make their escape from the burn- ing building and did not save even their wearing apparel. When the family was awakened the house was filled with dense smoke and the heat was almost unendura- ble. Not thing was saved from the building. MT. Knox's residence was one of the handsomest in the city and cost about $l5,OOO. It was superbly furnished throughout, and the whole was insured for but $3,OOO
 MT. Norwood's residence was also one of the handsome residences of the city. and was very near to the Knox house. It was worth probably $10,0O0 or s12,O00, and was insured for about one-fourth of its value Nothing was saved from it. A high wind was blowing during the pro- gress of the fire, and at one time two other houses in the peighborhood were on fire, but were discovered in time to pre- vent their burning.
 The fire started in MT. Knox's house, and was caused by the furnace. It had been burning for hours before it was dis covered, but had smouldered between the walls and floors.
 John B. Knox, whose home was burned this morning, is chairman of the demo- cratic state executive committee and one of the most prominent men in the state. G. T. Norwood, whose home was also burned, is president of the Norwood Print ing company, of this city. E..

 Mobile Register: Dr.. Seaton Norman, of the marine hospital service, who is in charge of the disinfection in this city, was seen yesterday and asked how his forces had been getting on during the past week.
 The doctor replied substantially as fol- lows:
 ''Disinfection is progressing much more smoothly during the past few days. A number of requests for disinfection have been received, some of these from persons who had previously refused. Nearly the entire southern portion of the city has been visited and work commenced in the northern part. The number of houses treated so far amounts to 275 and a num- Der of mattresses. pillows, etc., have been burned and replaced in every instance by new articles of the same quality. 1T Tt is a matter for congratulation that the several requests for disinfection have been received and we hope that all who wish their residences attended to will leave their names at the office of the board of health as soon as possible.
 "At Whistler the majority of mattresses, all feather pillows and beds and quilts are subjected to steam in a closed car at temperature of PIP degrees F., for half an hour; the rooms. including furniture, etc.. are treated with formaldehyde gas in con- centrated form. The disinfection at whistler is under the immediate supervi- sion of the United tates marine hospital service, the general expenses being de- frayed by the Mobile and Ohio railroad. pr. J. H. Oakley, of the service, who has just completed the disinfection of Floma- tion, will assume charge of operations at Whistler on Monday next.'' - Mobile Register: MT. c. D. Smith. of the firm of c. D.
