State Allowances of the Sixty Fourth
 Will be Retained.

Huntsville, January 19.-(special.)- )-The war department at Washington has off, cially informed the Sixty-ninth regiment of New York Volunteers that the state pay for the regiments service at Camp Black will not be deducted from their allowances on being discharged Major Harrison, chief mastering officer, today instructed the com pany commanders not to deduct the state allowance from the company muster rolls.
 It is almost impossible to tell when the regiment will leave for New York. There are so many details to be attended to that from time to time and now it is believed that the Sixty-ninth will not get away be- fore Sunday night. Rapid work is being done on the company books and efforts will be made to get away from Huntsville not later than Sunday.
 The Big Four railway which secured the contract to carry the regiment to New York has made the Sixty-ninth a present of a mascot, the equal of which has never been seen on the streets of New York. Uncle Matt" an ante-bellum negro, has for many years been a picturesque figure on this cty's streets with his Scarts drawn by mule, an antique horse, goat and a mlnia- ture bull.

Two Letters to Mrs. Pinkham.

Mrs. JOHN WILLIAMS, Englishtown, II. J., writes:
 "DEAR MRS. PTNKHAM:-I cannot be. gin to tell you how I suffered before taking your remedies. was so weak that could hardly walk across the floor without falling. I had womb trouble and such bearing-down feeling also suffered with my back and limbs, pain in womb, inflammation of the bladder, piles and indigestion. Before I had taken one bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's s Vegetable Compound felt great dea. better, and after taking two and one half bottles and half box of your Liver Pills I was cured. If more would take your medicine they would not have to suffer so much"
 Mrs. JOSEPH PETERSON, 513 East St., Warren, Pa, writes:
 DEAR MRS. P1sKHAsI:-I have sui fered with womb trouble over fifteen years. I had inflammation, enlarge ment and displacement of the womb. 1 had the b3ckache constantly, also headache. and was so dizzy. I had heart trouble, it seemed as though my heart was in my throat at times chok- ing mo. could not walk around and l could not lie down, for then my heart would beat so fast I would feel as though I was smothering. l had to sit up in bed nights in order to breathe. l was so weak 1 conld not do any thing.

nothing to do with the shooting and begged them not to kill him. iie-was brought on to town by captain Walters and Sheriff Lumpkin. The latter, though shot three times, was able to walk to the, city.
 Tie negro was turned over to Officer Broadway at the market, while Sheriff Lumpkin went on to Cunningham's drug store and sent for Dr. King. It WAS thought best to carry him to the santa. iun where his wounds were dressed the bail in the wrist Icing extracted. One of the bal. s, supposed to be q p.stol- shot, went through the feshy part of Sheriff Lumpkin's shouI- der. The second shot entered the right wrist and lodged under the skin on the back of the arm above the wrist. This ball appears to be a SS-calibre from Q.stol, and Sheriff Lumpkin Is of the opinion that Wash Nelson the negro who was brought to the city and who was sitting or the porch when they approached the house the second time, shot him in the arm and the shoulder. The wound in the side is con- sidered the most dangerous, though 1t is not thought the intestnes were pierced. Ihe doctor says that unless inflammation sets in there is every reason to hope for his re- covery. A posse of thirty men went out last night and though they tracked tine negro until f a. m., never came upon him. 1An- other posse went out this morning, and Deputy Seay, who returned at noon, says they found where Nelson had stolen a horse from a negro named Cunningham, and on examining the stall found blood all around where the bridle hung and in the trough.
 The negro was one of the bodest crimi- nals known. He came to Selma yesterday and went into the store of the Selma Arms company and purchased a Winchester rifle, a box of cartridges and round of Ss-calbre pistol cartridges, paying si3.10 for them. He had with him then a shotgun. supposed to be the one found at Sid Nell sons house.

NOISY DEBATE.
French Senators Criticise the Court of .--..~- Cessation.

Paris, January 19.-The senate today in dulged in another somewhat noisy debate on the subject of the alleged partiality and slowness of the court of cessation.
 The minister of justice, M Lebret, de- fended the court and urged the necessity of maintaining separation between legisla- tive and judicial powers. He also said he believed that M. Quesnay De Beaurepaire' S resignation of the presidency of the civil section of the court of cessation was due to pique because he thought that insuffi- cient deference had been shown him.
 A resolution approving the views Of the minister of justice was adopted by vote of PIP to 2S.

ROW BETWEEN OFFICERS

Anniston, January 19.-(Special.) )-First Lieutenant James B. Everett, Company A, Fourth Wisconsin, is missing. He returned two weeks ago from leave spent at his home in Waukesha, and was seen last on Sunday, January 6. His friends are much alarmed about him and fear foul play. though others attribute his disappearance to too great fondness for cards and woman.
 He was in charge of the regiment can teen, but nothing is given out as to his management of it.
 Lieutenant LeRoy Brown, Company D, Third Tennessee, against whom very sensa- tional charges, nave been made, had a dis pute toda. with Captain Toneray of the same company. which went to blows. Brown procured shotgun and went to look for Toneray, who thinking the matter at an end had walked away.
 Captain Stevens, officer of the day, took the gun away from him. Brown, who seemed to be in frenzy then got re- yolver and went to the tent of Captain Champe s. Andrews, whom he tired to shoot. Andrews caught the weapon and re- ceived flesh wound in the hand from the hammer as it came down. Lieutenant SnutllDS, OIlCcT Ol tue 6udiu, ran up Witu a detail and took Brown in charge.
 It is thought that Browns mind had be- come temporarily unbalanced as result of breeding over his troubles.
 A small cabin near Oxford was destroyed by fire early this morning and Jake flaw kinson. colored. who lived alone in it was cremated. Persons who ran up saw the body lying on bed, but could not get to it. Hawkinson is known to have had money and is thought that he was killed and robbed and the house burned to conceal the crime.

DOUBLE HANGING
 IN MONTGOMERY
John and Henry Hall, Negroes
 Will be Executed Today.
CONVICTED OF MURDER
On the Night of August l2, of Last Year, They Killed Young James Belser At Pike Road
 Near the Capital

Montgomery, January 19.-(Speeial.)- Montgomery will have a double hanging tomorrow, and two negro brutes will pay the death penalty for most dastardiy murder The hanging will take place in the jail at 12 o'clock, and only officials and press representatives will be admitted to witness it.
 On the night of August 12 of last year, Henry and John Hall, negroes, entered the store of MT. Hugh Belser at Pike Road and created such disturbance that they were first asked, and then ordered to leave the premises. The negroes were both armed, one with a double-barreled shotgun, the other with a 3s Harrington pistol. When ordered to leave they both left, but shortly afterward returned and renewed their boisterous conduct Then young James Belser, a clerk in the store and a nephew of thc proprietor, attempted to put them out. John Hall, the one with the pistol, fired at Bclser at close range, but missed him. Belser hurriedly secured pistol and had fired one shot at John Hall when Henry Hall, the brother, stepped into the doorway and poured the contents of a double-bar- reled shotgun into the body of poor Belser, who died in few minutes. Henry Hail es- capped, but John Hall was next morning found a few hundred yards from the scene of the crime with wound in the right breast, be,ow the nipple. He was made prisoner and later brought to the county jail by Sheriff Parks.
 Relatives of young Belser organized a posse and then ensued an exciting chase of seven days duration, ending in the capture Of Henry Hall in the state of Florida just beyond the Alabama line.
 Henry was brought to Montgomery and both men were given preliminary hearing before Justice H. B. Screws, but waived examination and were committed to jail without bail.
 The case was tried in the city court at its November sitting, both men were found guilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced to bo hung. Friday, the goth of January, was fixed upon as the day of exc cution.
