PEACH RAISING INDUSTRY.
Col. Higdon Developed Splendid Orch
ard Out Near Vandiver.

Colonel e. L. Higdon has just purchased
a splendid site for fruit orchard out on
the Central of Georgia railroad near Van
diver, and he will endeavor to develop a
very important industry out of 1t. The site
he has purchased consists of one hundred
acres of an almost inaccessible plateau,
which Is high above the surrounding coun-
try. remarkable fact about the land Is
that 1t is above the frost line, and never In
the memory of the oldest inhabitants in
that section have they seen a frost up on
the mountain. There is an old man who
lives up there who has for years past had
q small peach orchard, and Its crops are al
ways success. The land is also remark
ably rich and fertile. Colonel Higdon is
now preparing to plant his orchard with
the liberia peach exclusively, the peaches
which have made South Georgia famous
Speaking of the liberia peach, Colonel
Higdon has just received letter from Sam
II. Rumph, in Marshallsville, Ca, stating
that the recent blizzard had played havoc
with all the peach trees in his district, and
that the crop this year would be total
failure. Mr.. Rumph Is one of the most
widely known peach growers in the south,
and has made a fortune off the liberia
peach which he developed. A year or two
ago he sold his crop on the tree, without
having to pick, box and ship them, for $780,
900.

The preliminary trial of the four negroes
who are charged with having made a muir
derous assault on Conductor ]. A. Brooks,
of the East Lake electric line on Wednes-
day, February 15, last, took place yesterday
before Justice H. 3. Alternately sitting in
court house.
The defendants. Marion Wood, Felix
Wood, VIII Wood and Sam Johnson, were
brought into court and through their attor-
ney, L. c. Dickey, pleaded not guilty to
the charge of assault with intent to muir
der, as charged in the warrants, which had
been sworn out against them. The state
was represented by Assistant Solicitor
Hugh Morrow.
Conductor Brooks, Motorman Brown and
several witnesses who were present when
the shooting took place We're examined and
testified that six negroes were in the party,
all of whom were armed and took part in
the shooting. Marion and Felix Wood and
Sam Johnston were identified by the wit
nesses as having been present. but neither
of the witnesses could swear that VIII
Woods was one Of the party.
AhO tSSuhioHy SuOWtQ IDdt Wnen the car
reached the loop at East Lake, the negroes
got off at the front end and that Marion

duty but were on the car, sought refuge be-
tween the seats and in the aises.
The defendants did not take the stand
and the case was submitted without argu-
ment, Attorney Dickey asking for the dis
charge of Will Wood, who was clearly ex-
onerated.
Justice Alternately rendered his decision
at once discharging Will Wood and hold
ing the other defendants to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury. The question of
bond was not settled and the justice an
nounced that he would fix the amount of

ATHLETIC CLUB DEFEATED.
Picked Team Wins Basket Ball Game
from Championship Team, II to / s.

Whether the Athletic clubs championship
team were "Jonahed" by their brand new
Convict uniforms of blue and white
stripes, or whether the picked team which
had been selected to play the champions
was too strong, is a matter of conjecture;
but, all things considered, the latter is the
most probable cause. Certain 1t is that the
team which is to play Nashville next week
vas defeated last night by the exciting
score of II to 10.
The regulars made no excuse for their
defeat, but 1t showed them most plainly
what work they must do between now and
next Friday night. The only excuse that
can be made for them is that it was 50
recently organized that they were not play
ing together last night as they should
have done. The score all the way through
the game was close and exciting, the first
team being one point ahead three minutes
before the game ended.
Biddle undoubtedly played the best game
of the evening" making four goals and
playing all over the field from one end to
the other. Dean also played well, making
two field goals and one foul goal. Stolen
werck made two goals also. For the first
team, Warren made three goals from foul
and one from the field; Underworld two
goals, and McDonough, Bradford and Fer
guSon, one each.
The teams lined up as follows:
First. Position. Second.
Bradford. 49,. Center. ..Huey
Ferguson, Capt. r. forward. .Stollenwerck

Small Collision In Fog

Owing to the fog which covered Birming-
ham yesterday morning small collision
occurred about o'clock between two cleo
trio cars of the Traction company's Wood
lawn line. Motorman Will Christian, on the
car going out Eighth avenue, was unable
to see the incoming car in charge of Mo-
torman Charley Halcomb, just as it was
turning into Twenty-sixth street, until It
was too late to stop, so he ran into the
rear end of the incoming car. Only small
damage to the steps and gates, and little
shaking up for the passengers resulted.

The Second regiment OF the national
guard will also have to be reorganized, as
will the old First regiment. 1t will be re-
membered that both OF these national
guard organizations had to be consolidated
to make one regiment of volunteers. Major
Foster, of Tuscaloosa, who served during
the war major, will, 1t is conceded, get
back his old position as colonel of
the Second. Majors Brandon and Dumont,
the other two majors who served in the
Second volunteers. will not be eligible for
those offices in the Second national guard,
the former having just been made adjutant
general of the whole national guard of the
state, and the governors right hand man,
while Major Dumont is member of the old
First regiment of national guard. Under
these circumstances one would naturally
look to the old majors of the regiment for
the new majoralty timber, and so far it is
not known what opposition there will be to
their reelection. They are Majors Walden
Mcconnell and Stout, the first two of whom
went to the war as captains.
In the First regiment of the national
guard, Colonel Orr resigned his position at
its head, soon after he was mustered out
as colonel of the Second volunteers. r. B.
Dumont, who made the third major of the
Second volunteers during the war, is men,
toned most faverably as Colonel Orr's sue
cessor in the national guard. No gossip
has been heard as to what majors this
regiment will have.

through which the national guard of Ala
bama is to pass during the next few
months promises to be exceedingly inter-

FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE
An Accomplished Swindler Cap
tured in Washington.
HE ESCAPED FROM PRISON
Was Serving Nine-Year Sentence for
Using the Mails for Fraudulent
Purposes - Dangerous
Confidence Man.

Washington, Sept. 16.-An accom-
plished swindler, shrewd confidence
man and fugitive from justice for
years, Rev. G. T. Howard, was cap
tured to-day by Postoffice Inspectors
Baird and Gould at Jackson, Miss.
Howard will be taken to Columbus,
Ohio, to serve out the unexpired term
of his sentence in the Ohio prison.
Howard escaped from the prison about
two years ago, after having served
three years of a nine year sentence
for using the United States mails for
fraudulent purposes.
Howard, who equipped himself with
half dozen conventional names, Is a
man of more than ordinary intelligence,
fine education and great energy and
He is doctor of divinity and a law
yer and was the editor of two or three
religious publications
BY sending broadcast over this coun-
try circulars representing that the re-
cipients were heirs to estates in various
places in Europe, Howard obtained re-
mittances of $25 from many of his vic
tins on the preteXt that he would pros
ecute their claims to the estate. Early
in 1894 Howard was convicted, fined
$1,000 and sent to the Ohio prison for
nine years. Since his escape he has
been operating in the west. his victims
principally residing in Great Britain.
He Is regarded by the postal authorities
as one of the most dangerous confidence
men and swindlers in the country.

engaged. and the guests, who in this
case are the ladies, enter apartments
bathed in soft subdued light, the air
laden with faint scents of spring buds,
summer flowers and autumn fruits,
which have come from the sunny south.
The prelude to the nights entertain
ment is formed by the musical motion
of beauteous shapes clothed in cloud
like silks or satins, tripping from room
to room by short swallow flights of
song that dip their wings in tears and
skim away" and by the glance of smil-
ing eyes, like stars half quenched in
mists of silver dew, which draw out
souls and lure them to unsounded
depths, as the mermaid lured the an
gler in Goethes ballad. The programme
of the night depends upon the tastes of
the party, but one of its invitable items
Is the singing of gypsy songs by choir
of more or less young and very ardent
ladies of the Romany persuasion-from
Moscow-who charge so much for each
song.-London Telegraph.
