TWO MEN KILLED
 IN FREIGHT WRECK
On the BIocton Branch of the
 Mobile & Ohio.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 Tuscaloosa, July 30-This afternoon at o'clock a bad freight wreck occurred on the Blocton branch of the Mobile and Ohio railroad, between Eoline and Scottsville, caused by lumber cars carelessly loaded by mill hands.
 Conductor J. B. Tinsley, acting extra brakeman, and Will Washington, colored akeman, were killed by the timber on the cars.
 Tinsley's home is in Meridian, Miss. He was about 29 years old. He has been mar ried only few months. Washington's home was in Tuscaloosa He leaves a wife, but no children.
 Governor Joseph F. Johnston and Super intendent of Education Turner were on a special train going from Centreville to Blocton, where they had an engagement to speak tonight
 The wrecked train prevented the govern- ors train from reaching Blocton, and it came on here. Both the governor and Su- perintendent Turner are here tonight.
 The last guns of the campaign were fired here today in joint debate. The democrats are confident and consider legislative part of the ticket as absolutely certain of suc- cess.

WILL ABANDON
 MIAMI CAMP The Troops There Will be Sent at Once to Jacksonville. GREAT AMOUNT OF ILLNESS Among the Troops Compelled the War Department to Decide to Send the Men to Some Health
 fer Point.
GREAT AMOUNT OF ILLNESS

Washington, July 30.-For ten days the officials of the war department have had under consideration a proposition to aban- don the camp at Miami, Fla On account of the necessarily inadequate facilteis for the proper sanitation of the camp, coupled with the considerable amount of illness among the men, 1t was deemed desirable to move the troops to some other point.
 By direction of the secretary of war or ders have been issued that Miami shall be abandoned as one of the permanent camps of the United States forces and directing that troops now there shall be transferred immediately to Jacksonville.
 There are now at Miami about 7.5O0 vol- unteers, the division comprising the First and Second Texas, the First and Second Alabama and the First and Second Louis- jana.
 While there is much sickness among the troops at Miami, the reports to the war department do not indicate O particularly serious condition of affairs.
 Exaggerated accounts of the condition of the forces in Miami camp have been pub lished, but the war authorities say they take very little stock in them. They know from the official reports that the health conditions of the camp are not what they ought to be; but they give assurances that some of the stories which have gained cir culation about the alleged lawful condi- tion'' existing there are not warranted by the facts.
 One prominent man discussing the situ- alton at Miami with Secretary Alger, com- plained that the men were not given more than a half pint of milk each per day. The complaint was entered in all seriousness, but a new phase was put upon 1t when the secretary called his attention to the fact that while he was in the army during the civil war he considered himself fortunate if he secured a half pint of milk in a month.
 The illness at Miami is malaria and ty phoid fever. Every possible attention is given those who are confined to the hospi- tai, and they are getting along as well as reasonably could be expected. It is an- ticipated that the removal of the division to Jacksonville will better the condition of the forces very materially.

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM

Mrs. W. E. PAXTON, Youngtown, North Dakota, writes about her strug. gle to regain health after the birth oi her little girl:
 "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-It is with pleasure that I add my testimony to your list, hoping that it may induce others to avail themselves of your val. uable medicine.
 After the birth of my little girl, three years ago, my health was very poor. had leucorrhma badly, and a terrible bearing-downi pain which gradually grew worse, until could do no work. Also had headache nearly all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men. situations were very profuse, appear. ing every two weeks.
 "Itook medicine from good doctor, but it seemed to do no good. I was becoming alarmed over my condition when read your advertisement in paper. I sent at once for a bottle o1 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com. ponnd, and after taking two-thirds oi the bottle I felt so much better that ] send for two more. After using three bottles felt as strong and well as any one.
 ''I think it is the best medicine for female weakness ever advertised, and recommend it to every lady I meet sui. fering from this trouble"
 Maternity is a wonderful experience and many women approach it wholly unprepared. Childbirth under right conditions need not terrify women.
 The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely offered to all expectant mothers, and her advice is beyond question the most valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax. ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be- fore confinement she would have been saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn. Mass

HOTTEST IN YEARS.
Probate Judgeship in Doubt, But Demo
 crats Will Elect Rest of Ticket.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 Anniston, July 3O.-The hottest political campaign that Calhoun county has known in twelve years closed tonight with big rally at the corner of Tenth and Noble streets, with speaking by John B. Knox, John M. Caldwell, E. Dudley Williams, Mil- ton A. Smith and others.
 The contest has been at fever heat for several weeks, but, strange to say, there have been no personal encounters.
 The fight has been principally between W. A. Scarborough, the democratic nomi- nee for probate judge, and Emmett F. Crook, the present incumbent. who is rum ming as an independent with populist and republican indirsement.
 Democrats are confident of electng the remainder of the ticket but it will take the election to name the probate judge.
 The last fight, twelve years ago, was made by a democrat in favo rof Crook, who was the nominee against an independ- ent.

Her speed could not save even the Cristobal Colon from the sure aim of the Americans. Besides this, the Ameri- can material, missiles as well as armor plate, seems to have shown itself to be much better than the Spanish. American experts, indeed, believe that in this respect they are superior even to the English.

Theatrical HPrODS."

Props comprise all the portable arti-
cles required in play. Guns and pis-
tols-which too often fail to go off at
the critical moment-are props; loaves
of bread, fowls, fruit, all made of e
rough papier mache, are also props. We
may also include those wondrous gilt
goblets only seen on the stage, which
make such a nonmetallic thud when
they fall and bounce upon the boards,
as among the achievements Of the prop
erty man.
But it is at pantomime time that that
individual is at his busiest. Big masks
and make believe sausages and vegeta-
bles, without which no pantomime
would be complete, are mingled with
fairy wands, garlands of artificial flow
ers, basket work frames for the accom-
mediation of giants and other articles
too numerous to mention
How the right things are forthcom-
ing at the right moment is one of those
mysteries only known to property men.
Had one of these useful members of the
theatrical world the ability and inclina,
ton to write book what an entertain
ing volume could he turn out Cham

TWO OF THEM.

Private O'Iars' Tart Retort to His
Unaccommodat Colonel.
Here is story told of Patrick o. Mars,
a private in the Ninth regulars: Not
long ago he went to the colonel, who
was severe disciplinarian, for two
weeks leave of absence.
"Well," said the colonel, "what do
you want a two weeks furlough for?''
Patrick answered, "Me wolfe is very
sick, and the children are not we'll. and
if ye didn't mind she would like to
have me home for few weeks to give
her bit of assistance.
The colonel eyed him for few min
utes and said: "Patrick, might grant
your request, but l got letter from
your wife this morning saying that she
didn't want you home; that you were
nuisance and raised the devil when
ever you were there. She hopes won t
let you have any more furloughs."
"That settles it. l suppose I can t
get the furlough them" said Pat,
mo, I'm afraid not, Patrick. 1t
wouldn't be we'll for me to do SO under
the circumstances.
1t was Patrick's turn now to eye the
colonel as be started for the door. Stop
ping suddenly, he said:
Colonel, can say something to
yez?''
"Certainly, Patrick. What is it?''
"You won't get mad, colonel, if l
say it?'
Certainly not, Patrick. What is it?'

The minister of war. General Correa, has

A late official dispatch from Santiago

supposed a naval battle was proceeding.
General Escarijas' column has forced its

TON, July L. 12:i5 p. m.-General Shafter
to-day. demanded an instant and uncondi-

The Spanish commander curtly and em-
phatically refused. The American general.
in sending his demand. warned all foreign
residents oth of the city before 10 O'clock
tomorrow morning July y, at which hour
the bombardment. he said. would begin.
This evening Lieutenant Colonel Astor, of
General Skaters staff, was informed by
a courier that the Spanish generals were
considering terms of surrender. The cour-
ier's report however, Is altogether un-
confirmed, ard is discredited by General
Shafter.
Tonight the men are anxious for a gen.
eraI engagement on the Fourth of July
but the officers do not expect it, The gen.
cral belief is that the crushing of Admiral
Cervera's fleet entirely changes the situa-
ton, now that Admiral Sampson can en-
ter the harbor and the army and navy
can make a combined attack on the city
It is not believed that General Shafter will
make decisive move until that question

Admiral Sampson and General Shafter
bad arranged for conference this morn
ing. and an escort of cavalry was at the
dock here awaiting Admiral Sampson and
