The CENSOR to-day gives space to
another communication from young
Mr.. Morton. We are not surprised, but
pleased, that he tempers his u~tterances.
His former letter was SO plainly a
grievous blunder, and so unlike his fam
lily traits and training, that all friends
were surprised. Mr.. Morton did him
self great injustice when he said that
the constitution and laws of the land
should be violated and a very large per
cent of the legal voters of the South
disfranchised because there are voters
without sufficient education and en-
lightenment to cast an intelligent
ballot. We doubt not that he would
have heard a very general assent had he
made the plea for an educational quail
fication for exercise of the franchise,
instead Of advocating dishonest and
arbitrary violation of one of his coun-
try's safeguards.

Evening Wisconsin: During the
dreadful times from 1893 to 1897, when
Bryan was constantly proclaiming that
there was not currency enough to do
the business of the country, the pro-
foundest thinkers remarked that the
country did not need more currency,
but more business. During the past
year business has been very heavy and
so continues. There is an activity in
trade which implies hat there is a re-
muneration to men of capital and
enterprise. This is an excellent sign.
The people could wish nothing better,
for the welfare of the masses depends
entirely upon the activity in trade and
the manufacturing industries.

PLANT TO BUILD
BLOWING ENGINES
VIII be Erected at East Birmingham by
the Birmingham Machine and
Foundry Company

A plant for the building of blowing en-
gines will be erected al East Birmingham
in connection with the machine and
foundry works of the Birmingham Ma
chine and Foundry company. This will be
a great addition to the Birmingham dis
trict, as no such plant exists this side of
Pittsburg. These blowing engines are
used in all the furnaces, and when a new
one is needed it has to be shipped from the
foundries in Pennsylvania. Much valuable
time is sometimes lost by delay in these
shipments. The demand for such engines
in this district is sufficiently large to keep
the plant at work continually.
The best of material is required in
building these engines, but this can be OBJ
tanned in the district. Many skilled ma
chinists will be employed, and this will add
to the number of pay rolls in and around
Birmingham.
The work on the other foundries Of the
Birmingham Machine and Foundry COM
pany is progressing rapidly, and within a
few months will be ready for the company
to begin operations. 1t will be remember
ed the entire plant of this concern was de-
stroyed by fire some months ago.

FOR HORSE STEALING
AL Ours, a Negro, Arrested in Tully's
Saloon

AL Ours, negro man, was arrested in
( Tulley's saloon, corner Fourteenth street
and First avenue. last night, charged with
horse stealing The man was located by
]. w. Wacasy, the owner of the horse, and
the arrest was made by Officers Armstrong
and Mullen On the negro's person was
found a shirt which Mr.. Wacasy identified
as his property.
The theft of the horse and some other
property was made from the home of Mr.
Wacasy, at Powderly, some weeks ago.
Mention of the fact was made in the local
papers at the time, but no trace of the
thief could be found. The horse was To-
Gated ten miles from Powderly some days
ago and returned to the owner. Since then
the officers have been looking for Ours
He formerly worked for Mr. Wacasy, but
until last night had not been seen since
the robbery.
Mr. Wacasy states positively that Ours is
guilty, as he was riding the Morse and
carrying Winchester rifle, which was
stolen at the same time. To confirm this
belief Mr.. Wacasy Identifies the shirt worn
by Ours as his property. 0A
The alleged horse thief was located in
Tulley's saloon last night, and Before he
was aware that his identity was known
the officers placed him under arrest.

Did NOT CROSS
STARTING LINE
Seventh Consecutive Failure of
the Yacht Race.
ANOTHER TRIAL ON MONDAY
Old seamen Believe That There Must
be Great Change in Present Stag
nant Atmosphere if the Next
Trial is Successful
ANOTHER TRIAL ON MONDAY

New York, October H.-The Shamrock
and Columbia got as far as the starting
line today, but did not cross it. There was
not enough wind to blow out the signal
flags when the time came to send them
away and after waiting an hour in the hope
that breeze might spring up from some
where, the committee boat hoisted the now
familiar blue flag crossed with a white bar,
denoting that the race was off for the
day.
The usual fleet of excursion boats, yachts
and tugs was ON hand to witness the mel
ancholy announcement. After the yachts
had returned to the anchorage inside the
Horseshoe and the tail of the excursion
fleet had disappeared through the Narrows,
a good strong breeze blew in from the sea
and held throughout the afternoon. With
such a wind the boats could have covered
the course in four hours.
The yachts will try again on Monday, but
the old barancles are now saying that I'M
less storm comes along to stir up the
stagnant atmosphere there is not much
chance of a change in the weather condi-
tons in the atmosphere ON Monday.
The Shamrock, with her mainsail up, left
her moorings in tow of a tug at $3.50 a. M,
the Columbia following at o'clock. Both
arrived at the lightship about 10 O'Clock.
They sent up club topsails, the Shamrock
setting her largest one, with aluminium
spars, and the Columbia hosting the same
one she had set on Friday. Jibs and stay
sails were sent up in stops of the stays,
burt they were never broken out, what little
sailing the yachts did about the lightship
being done under mainsail and club top
sails only.
The same persons were on board the
yachts on previous days. The yachts re-
turned to their moorings at 1880. The Sham
rocks crew swung the main boom broad
off to starboard and eleven men climbed
out on its end and sat there to give the
yacht a heel while the crew struggled off
one of the plates on the port side below
the water line. This operation was re-
peated, the boom being swung to port and
the men cleaning the starboard side.
1t was reported after the race had been
declared off that there had been talk of
docking both yachts early on Sunday morn-
ing but the rumor was not confirmed. The
fact that Captain Barr, of the Columbia
obtained leave from Mr.. Isein to go to the
city to meet his wife who arrived today
from England by the steamer St. Paul and
then remain in town until Monday MORN
ing is pretty good evidence that the Column
bia will not be locked. Captain Robley d.
Evans sighted the Erin this morning and
'Fighting Bob and "Fighting" Lord
Charles Beresford shook hands.

who was standing near were placed under
arrest charged with an ARRAY. Alderman
RAINBOW struck at Penn with cane and
had his thumb cut by the ferule of the stick
as it was jerked from his hand.
The trouble arose over some surrilous re-
marks that are alleged to have been made
against Alderman RAINBOW by Mr.. Penn.
Friends repeated the remarks to Mr.. Ram
bow which he denounced as untrue.
AT noon yesterday Mr.. RAINBOW was wait
ing for car at Second avenue and Tween
tieth street and while engaged i'm a con-
versation with former Sheriff Smith, Mr.
Penn was seen coming down the street
The two men were discussing the remarks
alleged to have been made by Mr. Penn,
and as he passed Mr.. Smith hailed him.
what about these things you have been
saying about Mr.. Rainbow inquired the
eX-sheriff.
, 81 have nothing to say except that it is
true" was the reply.
Mr.. RAINBOW then said: ''Well, you
know that what you have said about me
is a lie"
Mr.. Penn replied by saying that he could
not take that and some of the witnesses
say reached back towards his hip pocket.
Mr.. Rainbow struck at him with his cane
but Penn caught the weapon and jerked it
from the alderman's hand.
AT this juncture Mr.. Smith struck Penn
. hard blow just under the eye. A consid-
cradle cash was cut and Mr.. PENIS face
was soon covered with blood. The men

AgesHerald Bureau, Hotel MADISON, Mont
soniery, October 14s-(Special.)-An effort is
to be made to have4tne resting place of the
ITO brave confederate soldiers, who were
Alabamians, and died while in prison at

Captain Trap has recently returned from

less some steps are taken at once to erect
an appropriate shaft, many of the names
will soon be destroyed.
''Ilhese soldiers were members of the
First Alabama regiment, Which was cap
tured at Island No. 10, and imprisoned at

confederate memorial associations in this
state will take an interest in this matter
and see that a stone with the names of tine
brave Ala5amians carved in it, Is erected
to perpetuate their memory"
The interest which Mr. Woodward, a
northern man, took in desiring to have the
graves cared for impressed Captain Trap
very much and he returns home determined
to take an active interest in having the
suggestion carried out.

Two white men from Gate City were held
up, and robbed by a negro highwayman in
Buzzard Roost, near Second avenue and
wenty-sixth street, last night. The men
were relieved of about seven dollars, and
one of them was shot through the hand
while attempting to escape.
Some time previous to the robbery the
negro saw the two white men drinking in
a saloon in First avenue, and volunteered
to escort them to a place of amusement
somewhere in the "Roost." They accepted
the. prefer and started up Twenty-sixth
street. When a dark place was reached
the negro drew a revolver and pointing at
the men ordered them to hold up their
hands. One of them attempted to run, but
was stopped by a shot through the hand.
The robber then made them turn over their
belongings, keeping the revolver on one
while he took money from the other. He
then ordered the men to move on and Slip

Charles Ray, a young white man with an
unsavory record, and who has figured in
several ARRAYS in Montgomery, is again in
jail. A few weeks ago Ray and another
man named Reasonover engaged in a duel
IN Court street, Reasonover using a 16-bore
shotgun loaded with No. shot, and Ray
an ugly pistol. Both men were wounded,
and Ray would probably have been killed
had large shot been fired from Reasono-
Ver's gun Yesterday Ray was on the
streets with gun looking for Reasonover,
when he was arrested by the police. He
claimed that Reasonover had threatened
his life. Later Reasonover was arrested,
but there was no evidence to prove that he
had threatened Ray, and he was released.
Ray is still in Jail, as he cannot make the
necessary bond to gain his freedom.
