DICK AND WALTER HAVE WON FArlE
 

In 1880 there lived in a neighboring town a young man-an orphan boy. He was anxious to learn, ambitious to rise in the world. But he was poor, his friends were few, his opportunities for an education were very meagre. The outlook for him was discourasing, but he was brave and faced the future with a reliant heart.
 He had hired to work on a farm trying to get an education. He was strong and handsome, and ambitious and heroic. He worked hard, he studied everything he could lay his hands on.
 One day a young lawyer, on his way to justice court, rode by the field where this young man was at work The young law yer, too, was poor It had been a hard struggle for him to get an education. His future prospects were all but encouraging. These two young men were fast friends. The tastes of one ran toward law, the oth- CT toward journalism. But there was much in common between them, both were poor both were ambitious and determined to succeed.
 The young lawyer stopped to talk with his friend In the corner of the fence they discussed, as they had often done before their trials, their hopes, their aspirations and laid plans for the future. Their theme then being the Congressional Record as text book for the acquisition of knowledge. When they parted it was understood that the young lawyer should write to Hon. Wm. H. Forney, then member of congress from that district, and get him to send the congressional Record to his friend He wrote to General Forney, stating the cir cumstances and was gratifed to learn in reply that that good man, now deceased, had put the name of his young friend on the mailing list so as to receive the Con- gressional record regularly. It came. The young man read it. He read everything he could get to read. He grew in knowl- edge. He entered the field of journalism. He displayed great knowledge of public men and public questions. His political articles attracted marked attention, thoughtful men read them with interest and profit. His pre-eminent ability was recognized, and he soon called to fill re- sponsible place on one of the leading Ala bama papers, and worked his way up in Alabama journalism until he took rank with the ablest and leading editors of Ala bama. He is now and has been for seven years political editor of the New York Ev- ening Sun at a handsome salary. Some day he will be editor-in-chief of that great paper
 Though tardy in her advances, Fortune, too, has smiled on the y9ang lawyer. He too has risen in his profession. August 1, 1898, he was elected to a most honorable judicial position by a majority so large that he and his best friends were surprised at its magnitude. Letters of congratulation have poured in on, h..shss, h.hfss from the
 the baE-shd the people-from near andl 1(om far. But no letter of congratulation which Dick" Kelly received on his election as chancellor of the northeastern chancery division, is higher prized than the one writ ten by his boyhood friend, Walter L. flaw ley, now political editor of the New York Sun.

THE REMAINS IF
 WILL COUGHLAN
Will Be Buried Today-Walter Cahoon's Trial Set For
 Tuesday Morning.

Yesterday afternoon the remains of Will Coughlan, who died Friday morning from the effect of shot fired by Walter Cahoon at East Lake on the previous evening, were removed from the Warner-Smiley under taking establishment to the residence of Mrs. W. E. Schwein in Avondale, where the funeral services will be conducted this afternoon at 8 o'clock. The interment will take place at Woodlawn cemetery.
 Mrs. Robert Brooks, of Durham, and Mrs. W. E. Davis, of Memphis, sisters of the deceased, arrived in the city yester- day morning and were completely over come at the tragic death of their brother. After a consultation 1t was decided to bury the remains in this city and arrangements were completed.
 z The preliminary trial of Walter Cahoon, the boy who fired the fatal shot will take place Tuesday morning at 9:30 o'clock be- fore Justice McConnolly sitting in one of the large court rooms in the county court house. A large number of witnesses have been summoned, and the court room will no doubt be crowded with persons anxious to hear the evidence
 w Unsuccessful efforts were made yester- day to recover the pistol which it is said was hid by young Cahoon in pile of trash on the Avondale road as he came to the city.
 The accused boy, who is in the county jail, has been the recipient of several bas- kets of flowers and fruits from persons he does not know. He is much gratifed by these expressions of sympathy and is mak- ing the best of his situation, spending most of his time in the warden's quarters over the jail office. His meals are sent to him from a restaurant and every thing is being done by his brothers and friends to add to his comfort.

A NOTED ARSON CASE.

Odum, Ca, June 29.-4By order of Judge

there will be a special term of Superior
Court in Wayne county beginning on July
II to try the Carter-Herrington arson
case. This case proves to be more sensa-
uonal than the celebrated Bohannon case.

IN pond as witnesses. II. Harrington is in
JAIL where he has been since few weeks
after the last term of court. Ii is thought
that there viii be others brought in be-
fore the trial is ended. Harrington has
made aft1davit that he was the one that
applied the torch to the car and that he
sold the goods to Carter after the fire and
that Garter did not know that they were
the goods that was supposed to have been
burned in the car 1t is thought by all
parties here that he was bribed to do this,
as Detective Connally says he can prove
that Carter was the man that applied the
torch and knew beyond a doubt that they
were the same goods bought by him in
Atlanta and Macon. Included with the
pill OF goods DOught was one iron bed
stead that Carter bought for his private
use, and claimed it was burned together
with the other goods, and since then De-
teetive Connally has found the bedstead
in Carriers house, and has it in his pos
session now as evidence, as ii will be a
very easy matter to identity. II is a
fact that for several weeks after the
car~was burned that all the goods was
packed away in room in Cartors dwell
ing. Also there was some cased whisky
in the car that they claimed was burned
but some of it has been found on Noody's
farm. 1t was also proven at the last court
here that H. b. Carter and ]. ID. Moody
sold Some of the whisky for which there
is an indictment against each of them
The remainder of he goods that was
found in Carters and Herringten's stores
in Florida has been taken TO Atlanta and
placed in the hands of receiver and the
entire SSCG3 worth brought about 5000 as
they had become almost worthless. De-
tective Connally and the Southern Rail
way Company are leaving no stone I'M
turned in there efforts to obtain evidence
sufficient to convict Carter aud Moody
have had quite number of fires in the
last few years which will place public
opinion against them to a great extent.
