of Ed Herzog. the well known jeweler, died
yesterday at La O'Clock at St. Vincent
hospital, Where she had been taken for
trea tment.
Mrs. Herzog was one of those sweet flow
ers of womanhood that makes a world hap
pier by her having lived in it, and while her
death for several days had been regarded
as inevitable, still it has wrought untold
sorrow among her family and connections.
She was 10 years old, the wife of Ed Her.
zog. sister of Mrs. II. DeBardeleben. Miss
Crossin, W. P. and e. j. McCrossin, and
eight months ago, to the very hour and
minute of her death saw the sweet spirit OF

F. M. LANDLORD.
Young White Man Arrested On Seri
Gus Charge.

F. NJ. Landlord, young white man from
Eutaw, Ala, was arrested yesterday after
noon on charge of having entced Marie
Hill, a 17-year-old girl, from her home in
Tuscaloosa, and brought her to Birming-
ham and placed her in a house of unsa-
worry reputation.
The couple had hardly arrived in the city
before Captain Donelson, of the police
force, was on their trail and within an
hour both of them were in the police sta
ton. When arrested Landlord admitted
having brought the girl here, but said it
was at her request, which statement she
corroborated. 1t seems that the girl had
been in Jail a Tuscaloosa, and Landlord in
some way had succeeded in getting her re-
leased She says that she was incarcerated
at her mothers request.
When the couple left Tuscaloosa they
went first to Cottondale by private convey
ance and thence to Bessemer on a freight
train. Arriving there, they waited for a
passenger train and came to birmingham
yesterday afternoon. The girl is attired in
short dresses. Chief Austin sent her to
the Mercy Home.
Later in the night Landlord was released
on bond.

GREAT INTEREST in
THE STATE FAIR
State VIII Make a Creditabie Exhipit-
Large Crowds Coming from South
Alabama-Near at Hand.

The State fair is booming. Every hour
brings fresh interest, and when the open
ing day arrives enthusiasm will be at the
highest pitch.
Entries in every department are being
made, and the question of space Is the only
one which is giving the management any
concern.
Secretary Rountree is the busiest man in
Birmingham, but finds time to give every
matter his personal attention. Miss Chair
sell, his able assistant, has done volumes
of writing in connection with the work,
and scarcely finds time to take her meals.
1t was yesterday decided that the state
would make an exili5dt, which Will add
materially to the success of the fair.
Superintendent George 1. Motz, of the
agricultural department, returned last night
from Montgomery, where he held a confer
ence with Major Culver, commissioner of
agriculture, and says that the state de-
partment will cooperate with him in max
ing the agricultural display THE best ever
gotten up in the state.
The grounds are being put in shape and
the work will be completed within the next
few days.
A travelling man, writing from Ozark,
says:
For the last three weeks I have been in
eastern, southern and western Alabama,
and also part of Georgia, and have ques-
toned at least two thousand people and
have found that ahe majority of them are
going to be in Birmingham during the
6air They also say THAT most of their
friends are going also. In the nelshbor-
food OF Union Springs, Eufaula and Ozark
the people are all preparing to come and
and SO far as 1 can see every part of the
state is going to Birmingham. Birmingham
is without Doubt going to have the largest
crowds in tele Ep.story of the city

FITZ WON IN one
MINUTES FIGHTING
Knocked Out Jeff Thorne of Eng
land at Chicago.
FATAL BLOW ON THE JAW
Australian Pugilist Fought With His
Old-Time Vigor, and His Punches
Were Quick as Lightning
His Opponents Claims
FATAL BLOW ON THE JAW

Chicago, October 2S.-Jef Thorne, of Eng
l. nd, was knocked out by Bob Fitzsimmons
in one minute of fighting at Tattersalls to-
night. 1norne, who was evidently very
much afraid of Fitzsimmons, did not land
a single blow, and only made on light at
tempt to lead With G1is left, the blow fall
ing short by several Inches The blow de-
livered by Fftz was a short left jolt, which
did not pass through six inches of space be-
fore landing on Thorne's jaw. After
1horne was counted out Fitz picked him UP
bodily and carried him to his corner, plae-
ing him on a chair, which Sam Fitzpatrick,
who mad been confident of IIhorne's victory,
had placed nurriedly on the platform.
ThoIne was quickly surrounded by a
group OF friends, who labored anxiously to
bring him to- He was drenohed repeatedly
with cold water. Thorne was held in his
chair by Sam Fitzpatrick and Joe Sullivan,
and although seen to move Slightly was as
dead to tine world as when he lay ON the
mat. He remained in nis corner for twelve
minutes and was then carried from the
ring by his seconds, unable to walk, but
having regained a small measure of intel
Igence. As he was carried Through the
ropes he rolled his head YEARLY towards
Sam Fitzpatrick and said: ut was chance
hre and was as Spry and shifty on his feet
as he had ever been. He appeared heavy,
but was as quick lightning with his hands
and no victory through more brilliant work
was ever won than this. His feinting was
extremely rapid and his blows shot in so
tast that Thorne never had chance to
evade more Than one
The bout was to have been for six rounds,
and 1t was generally believed that Thorne
would on account of his showing against
Craig and Mccoy be able to last the limit or
three rounds. Sam Fitzpatrick, his hacker,
expressed himself before the men entered
the ring being confident that Thorne
would win, saying If he did not believe 50
he never would have brought him to Chica-
go to fight FitZsimmons. After the fight
was over he held to the opinion that the
blow which knocked out his protege was
piece of luck on the part of Fitz, but those
who have seen Fitz fight before know bet
ter. 1t was the same lightning jab that
won Fitz the championship at Carson, the
same quick blow that laid Peter Maher on
his back for two minues at Langtry, Tex,
and the blow that Fitz has always used,
and generally with decisive effect, when 1t
reached the point where it touched Thorne
tonight.

On the east end between Villa Rica and
Temple, thirty-eight miles out of Atlanta,

PORTO RICANs GRATEFUL
Compare Treatment of American and
Spanish Governments

Washington, October 2S.-The secretary
of war has received a copy of resolutions
adopted by the municipal council of Sar
German, Porto Rico, saying that the mu-
nicipality takes pleasure in conveying to
the American public through Brigadier
General Davis, the military governor of
Porto Rice the gratitude they feel for the
generous work of charity which is being
done for the poor people of the island. The
resolutions state:
"Our gratitude is greater when we real
lie that in fonmer times the Spanish gov
eminent abandoned the island to its own
resources when the people were suffering
from want and misery. Such spontaneous
charity of the American people, so gener-
ously shown to these inhabitants, strength
ems the bonds of sentiment and good will
which bind US to that great nation, of
which we now form an integral part"

KRUGER'S PREDICTION THAT WAR In
TRANSYAAL WILL STAGGER HUMANITY



battlefelds and thrilled with sympathy at
the death of its sons, especially that of
gallant General Symons, parliament has
come and Gosc, 5carcely noticed in the flood
of more exciting developments. 1t was the
shortest session but one in the history of
England, and teemed with remarkable
incidents.
Again this week Mr.. Chamberlain con-
tinued the defense of his character, an
gry taking up the slightest insinuation.
Michael Davitt's dramatic resignation is
regretted on both sides of the house, for
the honesty of his convictions was much
appreciated.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beaoh budget to Sc
cure the supplies was SO non-commdttal
that it is scarcely open to much criticism
Whether the II 100000 pounds borrowed to
carry on the war will be entirely repaid by
additional taxation or Whistler the Boef
treasury will be Slapped to repay part or the
whole, is a matter upon which little light
is likely to be thrown until parliament re-
assemblies in February.
Claims the Transvaal
But the more important of the features
of the recent session is ithe queens proro-
cation speech, for 1T contains the assertion
that the Transvaal Is already part OF her
empire. This phraseology passed almost
unnoticed but the sentence, Il trust that
divine blessing will rest on the efforts to
restore peace and good government to that
portion of my empire, cannot be taken
to mean anything but that Great Britain
regards the Tfansvaal as already reverted
to her direct sovereignty.
Another interesting point of the speech
was that the war was referred to as mil
itary operations" THE attitude OF the for
eign powers provides am unfailing source
of comment and contradictory reports. The
yirulent and persistent abuse of Great Brit
ain by the continental press gives rise to
the fear that i'm spite of official denials Rus
STA and France intend taking advantage of
the South African troubles. On the other
hand. 1T is pointed out ll.at the czarowftcg1
Is making a long and friendly visit to Eng
land, while France is devotinS her energies
to making the Paris exposition success.
German interference seems scarcely prob
able in view of the emperor's expected visit
Ito England while Austrian neutrality has
several times been semi officially voiced.
: 1t is patent that Tine internal affairs of
other European countries are scarcely in a
condition to warrant interference. France
has the conspiracy trial and the exposition
on her hands. The former Is not serious
enough to demand war as advancement
and the latter is doomed to ruin the minute
she is involved in "a conflict. Germany's
interests in South Africa demand peace and
We'll ordered conditions, while the progress
OF her colonization schemes in other parts
OF the globe greatly depend upon her ami
cable relations with Great Britain. Aus
tria's internal politics are more disquieting
than ever. The ultra montanines are TAX
ing new lease of life and are joining hands
with the mobs in venting their fury on the
Jews.
