Eight fingered fraternity, does not prop
erly belong to that class known as petty
thieves" Charles is a mulatto, of humble
mien, in fact of the Uriah Heap variety,
and in his varied capacity of office boy,
porter, footman OF groom of the third floor
front he had golden opportunities for filch-
ing purses. watches or any other little use
full bric-a-brac getting in his way. Lately
it seems that he has made himself generally
useful in a Turkish bath establishment and
with prolific himself, for he was at Judge
Feagins matinee yesterday charged with
robbng a gentleman while the. latter was
enjoying a Turkish bath. Watch, clothes
and other articles vanished, and Charles
McHenry fell under suspicion and was ar
rested. Missioner seemed to think Charles
guilty, for he placed him under a $500 bond
and Charles will board at the big rock Jail

LAW YERS QUIT CASE
Dispute Between Justice of the Peace
and Attorneys

Selma, December 15-(Special )-There
was sensation in legal circles yesterday
afternoon which created no little talk. and
has been the subject of much comment to-
day.
The incident was the withdrawal from
the defense of +'hetr client before Justice of
the Peace /. D. Lloyd of Mr.. P. II. Pitts
and George II. Craig who were employed
by Mr.. James Hunter, charged with the
murder of Jack Stoval, a negro, near Ber-
lin, last Saturday afternoon.
The claim of the attorneys is that they
could not get justice for their client be-
fore the examining magistrate, and there
fore would not further proceed but would
let Justice Lloyd do as he saw fit with their
client and depend upon habeas corpus pro-
ceedangs in a higher court to give Mr..
Hunter fairness.
The attorneys for the defense objected
to the justice of the peace quizzing the
witnesses after the lawyers had concluded
their examination. They claim that JUS
tice Lloyd asked irrelevant questions and
sought to bring out matter that had moth
ing whatever to do with the charge of muir
der against their client.
The immediate question objected to by
the attorneys for the defense was as to
whether or not Hunter about six montls
ago had not requested Justice Lloyd when
he (Hunter) was about to make bond for
the two Allison negroes, also charged in
the present case with the murder of Stovel,
but who are fugitives from justice, to
change the name from Joe and Albert Hun
ter, the names by which the negroes were
arrested, to Joe and Albert Allison.
The question was asked the defendant,
Who was on the stand at the time, and
was asked in connection with the question
previously put by the prosecuting altor-
neys to establish blood relationship be-
tween the defendant and the two accessor-
les Charged with the crime. This relation
ship the defendant had denied.
Justice Lloyd claimed that ne had a per-
feet right to ask any witness such ques-
tions that would bring out the facts in the
case, and that the questions he asked were
relevant. Here the matter rests 1t is a
question of opinion between the attorneys
for the defense and the justice of the
peace,

FLORENCE FURNACE
READY FOR WORK
The Immense Plant to be Blown
in Christmas.
EVERYTHING IN READINESS
Two Engines, and Will Turn
Out Two Hundred Tons
Pig Ii on Per Day

Florence, December 15-(Special)-Th
city of Florence will have a very handsome
Christmas present this year in the shape
of the largest furnace in the state. 1t was
announced today tglat the Philadelhia fur
nace would be put in blast December 20 if
nothing should happen to prevent.
Everything now appears to be r-optious,
and it is hardly probable that the begin
ming of operations will be delayed after tho
first Of the new year. The repairs on the
furnace amounting to about 900 have
about been completed. The stock rooms
have been rebuilt and the capacity trebled,
new railroad tracks have been put in, tres
ties erected for the handling of coke and
the dumping OF Stag, the furnace has been
refined new bosh put in place, the engines
have been thoroughly overhauled and
everything is in ship shape with the excep-
ton of repairing one of the engines.
The plant will be put in blast with two
engines, and will turn out 200 tons of pig
iron per day.
The furnace will get its ore supply from
the Russellville district where the mines
are already awaiting instructions to begin
shipping ore.
Coke will be received from Tennessee, and
the supply of raw material in sight is am
pie to keep the big plant going at full ca
pacity.
The Soss- Sheffield company, owners of
the furnace, have already about sixteen
tenement houses for operatives, and forty
more are under course of construction.
About 80 men working at the furnace
a present, and when it is blown in day and
night shifts of $50 men will be employed.
Kenneth Robertson, ST., formerly engaged
as superintendent here has gone to Pitts
burg Pa, to be with the American Steel
and Wire company as superintendent, and
his place here will be filed by r. X. Ed
wards, an experienced furnace man of Bir-
mingham. The resumption of the Philadel-
phia furnace means a new era for Flor
ence's iron industry, having been idle for
six years.
