An Improved Locomotive Head.
light.
Head

6~ lfraH
When rounding a curve, the ordi-
nary locomotive headlight points off
into the surrounding country, and is
useless. A mechanical engineer Of a
western railway, says the Scientific
American, has devised an attachment
by means of which the light is main
tanned in line with the track. The
light is mounted IN a turntable which
is rotated through the proper angle by
a cable, passing around pulleys and
leading to the two piston rods Of a
small double-acting air cylinder. The
motion Of the piston is regulated by a
valve in the cab, the air pressure being
taken from the air brake system. The
headlight turns on inclines 50 arranged
that when the headlight travels up the
incline 1t will have bearings on the
two quarters in which it travels. The
object Of this is to return the headlight
to its normal position automatically
when the air is released.

DRENNEN SUPPORTERS
HOLD A NEE TING

Shortly after the adoption of the resolu-
ton by the arrangements committee, which
eliminated watchers from the polls repor-
ter called at the Drennen headquarters and
the air was sultry Everybody was hot.
Such remarks as dirty thieves" robbers"
and numerous other warm expressions were
heard on every side. Several of the previ-
ously appointed watchers say they are GO
ing in anyhow and defy committee or
anybody else to stop them.
Manager Allen was approached and he
denounced the action in strong terms He
said it was last resort when the other side
found themselves beat. In fact, everybody
in the headquarters had something hard to
say.
AS an offset to this action of the COM
mittees in not allowing anyone In the polls
except managers and clerks, the Drennen
committee has adopted unique plan by
which they intend to see that the election
is conducted fairly. Nine tables and an
equal number of tin boxes have been pro-
cured. An outfit will be placed In front OF
of every polling place, and the voters will
be asked to repeat their votes in this out
side box, thereby carrying the election on
in duplicate. These boxes will be preserved
and a comparison will be made to see that
the inside box comes up straight.
An indignation meeting was held in front
of the Drennen headquarters last night,
and all of the speakers bitterly denounced
the subcommittee for having, as they said,
changed the plan as previously adopted by
the committee as whole Rain interferred
and the crowd moved into the headquar-
tiers. where speeches were made by Allen,
Thompson, Bowman and Montgomery.
The speeches were all short but pointed.
Mr. Montgomery said, This is an attempt
to change your ballot Up to this after
noon have been taking no sides, but when
the subcommittee attempted to override
the committees action l became partisan
and I will continue to be until the election
is over and Mel Drennen is mayor. 1t got
to where it was not question of Drcnhea
or Smith, but a case of whether or not
Burkhalter and Leo Steiner were going to
run Birmingham"
P. G.. Bowman was the next speaker and
spoke in most emphatic terms in the at
tempt to rob Drennen, as he expressed it.
He dwelt for some time on the Cahoon
Goggans' shooting scrape.
There was another man arrested this
afternoon" he said. II understand that ii
is being reported that this was brought
about by Drennens friends for political
reasons. That is too contemplate to notice.
1t is lie. l want to say further that the
ball that killed Goggans was not fired from
Cahoon's pistol. have the bullet in my
safe. and 1t weighed nearly twice as much
as the one left IN Cahoon's pistol" He
then read section 10 of the plan which pro-
vided for watchers and commented for
sometime on the samf

was suggested that the speakers go 10 the

Released From Custody Yesterday
Child Seriously Burned.

Scottsboro, April S.-(Special) -William
Lusk, of Paint Rock valley, this (Jackscn)
county, who was tried at the last term
of the circuit court on the serious charge
of assaulting his 15-year-old daughter, the
jury falling to agree, was remanded TO
Jail. He made bond this morning in the
sum of $1,000 and is again breathing tic
pure air on his native heath In the noun

of interest in this section of the country.
George Mccoy, young white boy, who
was convicted at the last term of the cir
cult court here and sentenced to three
years hard labor in the penitentary for
criminally assaulting a little S-year-old
girl, was today taken to Wetumptka by

THE LAW SLOW TO
PUNISH CRIMINALS
Some Startling Figures Present
ed to Baptist Convention.
MORE HOMICIDES OCCURRED
In the United States in the Past Year
Than Were Committed in Entire
Europe-The Cause and
the Remedy.

Savannah, Ca, April BIN the Georgia
State Baptist convention today George
Hillyer, eX-mayor of Atlanta, and formerly
on the bench of the superior court, pre-
sented report from the committee on
crime and lynchings
After reading the report, the judge gave
some startling figures upon the increase of
crime, urging the consideration of the
question upon the church and suggesting
as the law was slow, the legislative body
be appealed to to note the facts and hg-
ures, to urge action upon that body, re-
minding them of the army of voters pre-
senting the appeal.
Judge Hillyer said that in the United
States there was more homicides thar in
Scotland, England and Prussia. The mat
ter had been brought before the bar aaso-
Citations in 1894 and 1896. In 1894 there were
3D. homicides in the United tSates and in
1876 there were 10000 In the past year
more homicides were Committed in The
United States than were committed IN Eu-
rope. People were losing confidence in The
laws slowness and lack of interest in the
public minds.
The press has been remarkably quick in
bringing the matter to the attention OF the
pubic, but the ease with which verdicl6
are set aside in the court room and the IA
cility with which notorious criminals es-
cape punishment have brought much of
this about. The amount of crime is ill.,
creaslng and it seems that the criminal
is the only one that has any rights. The
people lose confidence in the effectiveness
OF the law to punish criminals. Hence the
increase in lynchings.
Judge Hillyer said that, although he had
twice brought this matter before the Lar
hr6 tolrl
now appealed from the bar to the church
to aid in correcting this great evil. Tie
resolutions call upon the Legislature 20 so
amend the code of criminal procedure ard
enlarge the powers of courts so as ID let
all men know that the law is willing and
aolei,to do Immediate and thorough jus.
tice in every case. The assertion that
lynehings are a result of distrust in the
promptness and efficacy of the legal ma
chinery.

BESSEMER.

Bessemer, April 3.-(Special.) 1.-THE friends
of Mrs. A. C. Babcock were shocked 10
hear of her death, which occurred yester-
day afternoon. Though known to be in
poor health for some months past, her con-
dition was not considered dangerous until
quite recently. Mrs. Babcock would not
consent to call in physician until the last
few days, when nothing could be done to
save her life.
Deceased was a member of the Presby-
terrain church, and a devoted wife and
mother. Her husband, TWO daughters and
son survive her
The funeral took place this afternoon at
3 O'Clock at the Presbyterian church. The
services were conducted by the Rev. Ii.
w. Finn. The interment was in Cedar
Hill cemetery.
Mrs. Hendon, mother of Mrs w. B. Cock
rel, lies at the point of death at the home
of her daughter on Fifth avenue. Mrs
greatly beloved.
The petty criminal non-jury docket is on
in the circuit court. Judge Coleman took
a strong and sensible stand today in the
disposition of several cases for derama ton
of character among negroes. These cases
are of annoying frequency, negroes rushing
into court with trivial grievances thai
should be settled amicably among them
selves, and thus taking up time that should
properly be given to more important case.
Judge Coleman took the stand today tnat
in such instances both prosecutor and de-
PENDANT should be roundly fined, stand
which promises to be productive of excel
lent results in the future.
The UniteE Charities held an interesting
meeting today at the residence of Mrs. E.
M. Owens. Mrs. Q. l. Dexter, the secre-
tary and treasurer, read the annual re-
ports, which shows the society to be in an
excellent condition, with a balance of 1856
on hand, besides a time note for $500, which
is in the bank. The society has done much
good work the past year. The same officers
were elected for the coming year, with the
exception of Mrs. Dexter, who resigned,
Mrs. Eagar l.. Mitchell being elected in
her place.
An alarm of fire was turned in today at
about 1870 o'clock and caused the usual
furry of excitement. 1t was found to be
false alarm, however, originating in a
large bonfire of brush in the neighborhood
of the Montezuma grounds.
There were large congregations and in
most instances beautiful decorations at all
of the churches yesterday in celebration OF
Easter. The Rev. Mr.. Beard preached at
the Episcopal church and the regular pas
tors at the other churches

is in the nature of duty or excise. Tho
amount of such a tax when imposed in a
case like this may be increa sed or dimiil-
ished by the extent to which the privilege
or facility is used, and it is fixed i'll this

1--WE Go not see that any material differ
ence exists when the sale is for future de-

same whether for Immediate or future de-

On the point of discrimina don 1t was re-
marked: "A purchase occurs whenever
sale is effected, and to say that purchaser
at an exchange sale must be taxed for the
facilities made use of in making the pur-
chase or else that the tax on the seller is
VOID simply to insist upon doubling the tax.
Nor is 1t necessary to tax the use of the
privilege in all circumstances in order to
render the tax valid. We see no reason
why it should be necessary to tax priv
lege when it is used for any purpose, or
else not to tax it at all. 1t is not in its ma
ture indivisible
I'm holding the tax under consideration

that 1t is not tax upon the memorandum
required by the statue upon which The
stamp is to be placed. The act does not as
sumo in any manner to interfere with the
laws of the state in relation to the COR
tract of sale.
That congress might have adopted some
other means for collecting the tax which
would prove less troublesome or annoying
to tax payers can surely be no reason for
holding that the method set forth in TIL,
act renders the tax invalid. The means
must be a question for congress alone"

died soon after.
At the Missouri Lead and Zinc company's
mine, John Smith, a miner, was killed by

The three men working In the sewer were
entombed by the caveing in of the walls
without warning. Minche and Bum were
buried under nine feet of earth and killed
outright Neighbarger was pinned against
the sewer wall with head and shoulders ex-
posed. He retained consciousness for some
time and talked with his father and sister
while workmen strained every effort to dig
him out, but he died while they worked

partial reputation is the last solution that

The programme which would probably be
accepted by the Sagasta party as well as
the ministerialsts provides for suspen-

revenue from tobacco and other monopo-

WAITING FOR ROLLS.
Money Will Be Returned Unless Army
Lists Are Given Up.

Havana, April 3.-Among military men
lie talk is of the departure of the remain
ing American volunteers, which will prob
ably be delayed for couple of weeks until
the Cuban army question is nearer a set
cement. AS General Gomez is unable to
supply accurate lists of the Cuban army
and as the Cuban assembly still retains
lie official list, the American military au-
thorities outwardly appear to be simply
waiting, but a matter of fact they are
impatient and disguised.
Meanwhile, the report that the 50 1000, 900
may be returned to the United States is
being widely circulated and has increased
the feeling against the assembly, whose
members are apparently Indifferent. The
next session OF the assembly will be held
on Thursday.
