NEGRO CAPTURED.
Bob Cornelius Arrested at Decatur for
 Assault With Intent to Murder.

Decatur, November 2-tSpecial.)-A me- gro named Bob Cornelius was arrested this week by Deputy Sheriff Thomas Hurley. In the fall of 1895 Bob Cornelius was wanted in Lawrence county for a charge of assault with intent to murder. but he succeeded in making himself scarce im- mediately after the affair and has just been captured
 It was known on several occasions that Cornelius was in the state. once at Pratt City and once at Birmingham, besides several other places, in that section. Sherin Robertson, of Lawrence county, played a waiting game. with the idea that Cornelius would drift back into North Alabama, and last week wrote letter to Sheriff James Ryan describing the darkey and also sending the necessary papers for his arrest. The matter was turned over to his deputy, and as a result Thomas Hurley bagged his game without any resistance. Now Cornelius is safely landed in the Lawrence county jail awaiting the justice due him three years ago.

THE ILLS OF WOMEN
And How Mrs. Pinkham Helps
 Overcome Them.

Mrs. MARY BoLLrEeER, 1101 Marianna St., Chicago, H., to Mrs. Pinkham:
 ''I have been troubled for the past two years with falling of the womb, leucorrhHa, pains over my body, sick headaches, baclsache, nervousness and weakness. tried doctors and various remedies without relief. After taking two bottles of your Vegetable Com pound, the relief obtained was truly wonderful. have now taken several more bottles of your famous medicine, and can say that am entirely cured"
 Mrs. HENRY DoRR, No. s06 Findley St, Cincinnati, Ohio, to Mrs. Pinkham:
 "For long time I suffered with chronic inflammation of the womb, pain in abdomen and bearing-down feeling. Was very nervous at times, and SO weak I was hardly able to do any thing. Was subject to headaches, also troubled with leucorrhea. After doc toring for many months with different physicians, and getting no relief, had given up all hope of being we'll again when read of the great good Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Com pound was doing. decided immedi- ately to give it a trial. The result was simply past belief. After taking four bottles of Vegetable Compound and using three packages of Sanative Wash can say I feel like new woman. I deem it my duty to announce the fact to my fellow sufferers that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable remedies have entirely cured me of all my pains and suffering. I have her alone to thank for my recovery, for which am grate- full. May heaven bless her for the good work she is doing for our sex"

INFERIOR CRIMINAL COURT.
Attorney James Trotter Advocates Els.
 tablishing One at Bessemer.

Bessemer, November 2.-(Special )-At a meeting of the city council last night, Jas. Trotter, city attorney, urged that the coun- ell petition the legislature to establish here a court of inferior criminal Jurisdiction to cover beat 33 and three other beats adjoin- ing. This would simplify the administra- ton of criminal law in this section besides affording a proper protection to those ac- cused of it's infraction Now culprits are more or less subject to the caprice or self isilness of some justices of the peace, who are tempted to encourage criminal prose- cution merely to secure the fees. There is a growing sentiment in this section favor able to the establishment of this court. The matter was deferred for consideration until the next meeting of the council.

He was at once turned over to the state without trial, so his second visit to Bessemer was equally as brief, if not so brilliant as his first.

SCHEME OF TICKET sCALPERs.
Said to Have Agents in Uniform to Buy
 Tickets at Half Rates.

From the Chicago Times-Herald, Oct. l. Chicago scalpers now have uniformed agents These employes wear the regaHa of a United States soldier. They carry with them either genuine or forged furloughs and sick leaves. These they present at the offices of railroads to secure half-fare per- mits, which are carried back to the em- ployers to be sold to any person who IS willing to pay the price asked and carry out the deception.
 The generosity of the railroads in making a half-fare for soldiers travelling on sick leave at their own expense makes this de- ception possible. Passenger men nave known for some time that the privilege was being abused to a slight extent. but 1t was only yesterday that 1t was discovered the brokers were employing men wearing "the blue' for the purpose of securing cheap transportation. Whether the papers borne by these agents are genuine or not is not known. Neither do the railroad men know whether the agents are soldiers employed for this purpose or whether uniforms have been put upon others by the scalpers. It Is known that the fraud is being perpe- trated, however, and steps to prevent fur ther losses already have been taken.
 In letter sent out to eastern lines yes- terday the secretary of the Central Passen- ger association recites the facts here men, tioned, and a means of preventing fur Iner dDuSeS Ol tHc pIlNIS5c 6idHtSu eo ooi- diers makes the following suggestions:
 On issuing tickets at reduced rates
 to soldiers or sailors, agents should
 indorse upon such tickets, good only
 for soldier or sailor in uniform and
 with pen and ink upon the furlough
 papers complete description of the
 ticket, including the form, number,
 destination and date of issue. It is
 further suggested, with particular
 reference to business originating in
 Chicago, that on and after Oct l
 applicants for reduced rates on the
 ground that they soldiers or sail-
 ors be referred to this office, and that
 such tickets be issued on and after
 the date specified only upon orders
 bearing the signature of the under
 signed.
 The chairman of the Western Passenger association has sent out similar notice Railroad men do not know how extensive ly they have suffered on account or the fraud, but they are inclined to estimate the losses as quite heavy.

LOST IN GREATER N. Y.
Policeman Wanders for Hours in the
Wilds of Woodsburg.

New York, Jan. 13.-''Lost in New York;
no longer means a labyrinth of streets
confusion of buildings and the bewildering
sound of traffic and travel. 1t is possible
now to be lost in New York's forests,
fields. swamps and in the bleak and bar
rem wastes such as those of Great Neck
or Hampstead.
That was the experience Patrolman
Michael Murphy had. Murphy has been
transferred from crowded Fulton street,
and is now seeing that the peace is not
broken on the bleak meadows of Woods
burg.
It is his duty to patrol four square
miles of meadows and brush land. ex-
tending to the shore. 1t was after dark
when he started out on his new beat. He
followed an uncertain path as far as the
beach. The silver sea on which the glo-
rious moon shone brilliantly broke into
foaming white as it swished UP the sand.
1t was a night to stir any soul but MUIR
phys. Any other soul would have been
lost in the beauty of it all, but Murphy
was too much lost in every other way
to think of that.
He sat down on a sand dune and tried
to place the moon, but he couldn't get it
right. East, west, north and south were
all mixed Only one thing buoyed him up
he wouldn't be missed from any partic-
ular part of his beat. But he got up after
awhile and started somewhere. He went
along one path for a time, but so many
other paths intersected it that he got
worse tangled up than if he had been in
a magic maze.
But Murphy kept on. and after a half
hours walk found himself back on the
beach at his old sand dune. Making an
other plunge into the unknown, and call
ing valiantly for help, he reached mar
row road, which led to a village. Then
Murphy telephoned to his captain that he
was lost.

CUBA CUT OFF.
BY February 1 the Island Will
Be Surrounded
By a Fleet of United States
War Ships.
SIXTEEN WAR CRAFT
Under Orders For the Bahama
Channel.
Six Other Vessels Already in
Southern Waters.

Washington. D. c., Jan. 13-The largest
feet of warships ever assembled under
the American flag will be within six
hours easy steaming of Cuba by the 1st
OF FEBRUARY, or very soon afterward. The
administration deprecates a war scare
The president has assured callers repeat
ediy in the last few days that he contem-
plates no intervention further than the re-
lief of the starving. The work Of prep
aration, however, goes on vigorously at
the navy department. Every day some
new order bearing upon this assembling
OF the squadron is issued. Taken singly,
these orders do not reveal their signifi-
canoe. But when they are grouped the
magnitude and completeness of this get
ting in readiness is seen. One vessel after
another has received its Instructions I'M
til now it is known that Bahama chan
mel is soon to be the scene of the most
magnificent demonstration of which the
new navy is capable.
To realize how close this comes to Cuba
one must needs go to the map. The Ba-
hama islands lie eastward and south
eastward of the lower end of Florida
Cuba is south of Florida, with it's east
ern provinces stretching to the southeast
parallel with the Bahama chain. Be
tween the Bahamas and Cuba the Ameri-
can warships will perform their evolu-
tons and practice at sham engagements.
They will be almost within sight of the
mountains of eastern Cuba, where Gomez
and Calixto Garcia both are.
Five great battleships are under orders
to report to Admiral Sicard They are
the Iowa, the Indiana, the Massachusetts,
the Maine and the Texas. Two cruisers,
the fleet commerce destroyers, the New
York and Brooklyn, take their places in
this company. The monitor Terror, the
gunboat Nashville and the dispatch boat
Fern will be in the squadron. Six tor
pedo boats are already on the way to form
a hotilla under Sicard. They are the
Cushing, the Dupont, the Ericsson, the
Foote, the Porter and the Winslow. Six
teen crafts of war have already received
orders to participate in this demonstra-
ton around the southern extremity of
Florida.
The fact that six other vessels of the
American navy are now performing vari-
Gus duties may be mentioned as bearing
upon this strong concentration of naval
force in the vicinity of the only foreign
complication of this government. The
Detroit, the Montgomery, the Marble
head, the Newport, the Annapolis and the
Vicksburg are already in the Gulf scat
tered so that they are upon all sides of
Cuba One went to the eastward when
the Haytian affair started. Another car
ried the Nicaraguan commission to the
westward. Two others are looking for
fhbustering expeditions. The others are
'patrolling.''
And while the squadron rendezvous IN
Bahama channel and the other war yes
sells leisurely pursue their business in the
Gulf the Columbia and the Minneapolis
await in reserve at Philadelphia, the Puri-
tan at Norfolk and the Amphitrite at Port
Royal.

A Unique Convention Has Been Call

Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. BIN Phoenix, Jan

political history. 1t will comprise all
members of the boards of supervisors of

Before the convention will be only two
questions: The furtherance of economy

total assessment of the territory is $780,
