Hi.h school site Again.

The attorneys for Slack Peterson, In the
suit brought in the district court to enjoin
the Board OF Education from purchasing the
Cassidy property on Oakland avenue for a
site for the new High school building, will file
an amendmeOt to the petition today. In the
amendment Peterson will claim that the
title to the property Is defective and that
for the school board to go on and complete
the purchase of the site would involve the
school district in endless litigation and ex-
pense. Peterson in the amendment will al
lege that the title to the Oakland avenue
property is defective from the governments:
that In order to make a title a conveyance
needs to be made from ]. N. Cassidy, who
has for more than two years been a fugitive
from justice. Further, It will be alleged that
the property is covered with attachment
liens FAR In excess OF the purchase price and
that several suits of creditors TO establish
liens against j. N. Cassidy and wife have
been brought; that these suits we're pending
at the time Mrs. Cassidy decided the prop
erty to Simon Cassidy of Des Moines and
that therefore any conveyance that Simon
Cassidy might make OF the property would
be necessarily subject to such pending liti-
cation.
The case will come up for hearing at this
term OF court before Judge Macy.

 SOUTHERN R. R.
Formally Transferred to the L. 6 N. Last Friday-Mon-
 ey Paid July 1. ~

News comes from New York that the papers for the transfer of the railroad property of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company to the Louisville and Nashville and the Southern Railroad com panies. were formally signed in New York last Friday The fact that no hitch has occurred and that the deal is consum- mated has materially strengthened the market for Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road stock.
 The purchase price of $1,100O00 cash will be paid over on July l. This money, 1t is understood, will not be used for dividend payments, but will be retained as a work ing capital. All the old, low-priced iron contracts of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad company have been about worked out and will be filled and out of the way by July l. Contracts that were made at the higher prices that prevailed after the old contracts were made are now in pro- cess of fulfillment, while the later con tracts at the extreme advance in iron prices are beginning to be filled.
 By July l the company will have fifteen furnaces in blast, as against nine furnaces on January l. The output of these addi- tional furnaces is being contracted for at the present prices of iron. Officials of the company say the statement for the next six months will be more favorable than was deemed possible at the beginning of the year.
 The new steel furnace, which the com pany is building, is expected to be com pleted and in operation in August Con- tracts for 10,000 tons of steel billets, to be delivered in September and October, have already been made and at very profitable price. It is said the new furnaces will have capacity of 1000 tons of steel per day and that it has a prospect of business that will keep it fully employed for many months to come Some persons es stimate that the plant will nearly pay for itself within tAe first year of it's operation.

A. Well Known Writer

She was also writer who was well known to nearly all newspaper writers in the state. Most of her literary work was on the subject of artists and their work, though not entirely so. Ever since she has been in Mxico she has sent back to Birmingham for publication a number of extremely interesting letters on that coun- try and it's people.
 Miss Copeland had only one near relative living and that was her brother, G. H. Copeland, who has for a number of years been a railroad contractor in and around the City of Mexico. She also had a brother in-law, D. Il. Hanson, living in Montgom- cry. Last winter M ss Copeland had the misfortune of losing her belongings, in- cluding a number of valuable paintings in a fire in this city. Soon afterward, about January 18 she left Birmingham to visit her brother in Mexico, whom she had not seen for four years and she has been with him since that time.
 Miss Copeland's friends in this city fear that the high altitude of the country im- mediatey around Mexico, where she has been visiting, affected her heart and lungs. About ten days ago she wrote to a friend in this city that she had been feeling un- well, and that she was going to q place which was not so high. The place is sup posed to be YXtlahuaca, where she died.

New York 1t was sent out, undoubtedly for the purpose of prejudicing the south against MT Bryan, that negroes partici- pated at the banquet. I scanned each of the local New York papers carefully and there was not one word of truth in the original report. After reading the account of the St. Louis conference in certain papers in this country, I was surprised and shocked at the absolute disregard of facts.
 "In no state in the union are the demo- crats moro aggressive than in Missouri. They sleep on their arms. They are close to the enemy's lines. They attack inees- sanity and the great meeting held under their auspices will result in great good throughout the nation. We need aggres- siyeness in action as well as speech. Missouri has set the pace. Let all the states follow her example"

 An unknown negro was seen attempting to break i'll the residence of Officer Shirley of the police force yesterday and was ar rested by Officer Gray.
 The family of MT. Shirley is away and the house had been left unattended. Yes terday afternoon an old negro woman saw a man trying to get in the back door and shouted to him to leave the place. The negro man took his time, however, and after trying the back door deliberately walked around to the front gate when lie was met by Officer Gray and put under arrest. When MT. Shirley arrived at his home he found the back door open, but nothing was missing. On his arrival at the city prison the alleged burglar refused to give his name and nothing was foend on his person by which he could be identified. He is young man apparently about 2 years of age.

MEETING MlSREPRESENT TED

Hon. John W. Tomlinson returned yester- day from St. Louis, where he attended the conference of the leading democrats of the nation and the antitrust dinner given by the Jefferson club of St. Louis, at which William J. Bryan was the guest of honor. To an Age-Herald reporter Mr. Tomlinson said:
 Ut was assumed in every speech made at the conference and at the dinner that MT. Bryan would be renominated and that the Chicago platform would be reaffirmed with two additional blanks, one emphasizing the evil of the trusts, which has especially developed since the last election, and the other declaring against a colonial policy sought to be adopted by the republican party, growing out of the war with Spain
 '"The main purpose of the conference, however, was to provide means for carry ing on the campaign in 1900. In 1896 the the committee was embarrassed from the very beginning for want of funds. In the campaign before, all the money needed had to large extent been contributed by the money centers. After the adoption of the Chicago platform the parties who had heretofore contributed refused to contrib ute any more, and there was no organiza- ton and not sufficient time to effect an of the people with which to conduct their fight. Such is not the case now. A per feet organization exists throughout the United States of those in sympathy with MT Bryan and for all that he stands for

Considerable Fund Raised

"At the conference it developed that a Missouri and Kentucky headed the list, each having already contributed aO,0OO each Other states had contributed but not so much. Alabama had sent in about $2 GOO, mostly from Birmingham. On the roll call of states their representatives pledged liberal contributions. Ten thou sand dollars at least was pledged from Ala bama It is the duty of every democrat and every democratic newspaper In Ala bama to assist in raising this amount and more.'
 "The plan," continued MT. Tomlinson, "s to have every democrat who feels so in elined to contribute a dollar per month or more from now until the close of the cam paign in 1900 Any democrat desiring to so contribute can send the statement to that effect to Hon. s. B. Cook, representative of the national committee Chicago H., thus placing himself in direct communica ton with the national committee. After the subscriptions are sent in, the subscriber remits direct to the Union Trust Company Bank, Chicago, Ill.,, which is the treasury of the national committee.

A Most Important Matter

'The importance of this matter cannot be overestimated. In the next campaign the democratic party will meet in battle the great trusts representing billions of dollars. It is absolutely necessary that sufficient funds be raised to defray necessary ex- penses If every democratic voter would contribute one dollar per month, or half that amount, for the next fifteen months, what a magnificent fund could be raised for educational purposes and for the purpose of correcting misrepresentation and thwart ing fraud, by which the last election was carried.
 "The greatest evil that the people have in contend with is misrepresentation and fraud. Parties interested do not hesitate to pollute the sources of information. The impression has gone abroad that the St. Louis meeting sidetracked silver. On my return today several democrats called at my office and asked me if such was the case. I told them that it was not. I told them, which is fact, that every speaker at the antitrust dinner took particular pains to state that it was the desire [ . the people they represented that the restriction of silver was the issue of all issues That this sentiment was greeted with more ap- plause by the vast audience that packed the coliseum than any sentiment uttered It was shown that the great trusts are but

MOLINEUX ON TRIAL.
First Day Consumed in a Battle he
tween Attorneys

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Roland B. Moli-
neux was put on trial for his life today
in the court of general sessions before
Recorder Golf, charged with the death of
Mrs. Katherine J. Adams, on Dec. %,
1895
Mrs Adams died after swallowing what
was believed to be a headache powder
that had been sent through the mail in
a silver match holder as Christmas pres
ent to Harry Cornish, physical director
Of the Knickerbocker Athletic club, and
by him administered to Mrs. Adams,
with whom he resided. A chemical
analysis developed the fact that the pow
der contained a deadly compound Of
cyanide of mercury. The investigation
which followed deve!> ped the fact that
Harry A. Barnett, prominent member
of the Knickerbocker Athletic club, had
received-a similar package, and it con-
tanned cyanide of mercury also. @7n's-
Roland 3. MolineuX was among the
witnesses put on the stand at the coro-
ner's inquest at which the evidence went
to show that Molineux bore ennaity to-
ward both Cornish and Barnett. He
was arrested, after considerable delay,
and has been in the Tombs ever since.
Three grand juries considered his case.
and the third brought in the present in
dictment against him. Both sides have
fought bitterly since Molineuxs arrest
and today, after several hours had been
spent in the selection of a jury, not one
man had been found suitable. to enter the
jury case.
When the case was called this morn
ing Barlow S. Weeks, counsel for Moi
neux, made a fral and desperate effort
to have it transferred to the supreme
court, but the recorder ordered the trial
to proceed. Mr.. Weeks also made a
lengthy argument on a motion to dis
miss, but Recorder Golf several times
told him his talk was trivial and that he
was wasting words.
MolineuX's father, Gen. Molineux. sat
beside him throughout the day. Harry
Cornish was present and the court room
was crowded with people. The prisoner
displayed the same air of confidence that
has marked every public appearance Of
his since his arrest, and after adjourn
ment he was permitted TO remain in the
court room for some time, where he
talked pleasantly with his counsel and
court attendants.
The case will be continued tomorrow.
