MURDERER KILLS
A POLICEMAN
Humphrey Taylor, Desperate Me-
gro, Holds Crowd at Bay.
WOUNDED ANOTHER OFFICER
Suspected of the Brutal Killing of Louis
5Rosenstein in Maryland-He Then
Attacked Mrs. Rosenstein.
Who is Near Death.

Washington, May 17.-Humphrey Taylor,
a negro suspected of the RosensIein muir
der a Slide.l, Nd, today shot and killed
Police Sergeant Fritz Passau, wounded Po-
liceman Cow and kept posse of half
dozen officers at bay from the loft of a
house for nearly two hours.
Dozens of shots were exchanged between
the officers and the fugitive, who only sur
rendered when preparations were made to
burn the premises.
Last sunday morning Louis Rosens tein
and his wife, who kept a small store at
Slide4l, were found insensible and horribly
wounded in their store room. Rosenstein
soon died from his injuries and the woman
is believed to be near death. The murder
was said to have been committed by
Humphrey Taylor alias Brown, who had
disappeared I he police today loca;ed him
in house near the scene OF TIE murder.
When they entered Taylor opened fire from
the trap door in which he had taken refuge.
Sergeant Passau received two outlets
through his chest and Cow was wounded
in TIE nand. Taylor retreated to a corner
of the loft and the reserve of the two pre-
cincts were called out to surround the
house. Meantime word OF the affair and
the shooting had attracted several thous-
and persons. The negro was not dislodged
until preparations to burn the place mad
been begun Surrounded by officers with
drawn reviewers he was hustled out of the
house to the parol wagon, when the crowd
surged forward with SHOUTS of lynch
him., burn him." and made a rush for
the prisoner.
a rope was secured an dthe mob made
a desperate effort to place 1t around the
wretcn's neck. The GOODNESS of the officers
however, saved Taylor, though he was bad
ly dlsfigured by blows from the nearest of
the crowd. All the way to the station
house, the mob followed the wagon shout
ing FOR vengeance, and fingered about tie
building when he was safely in cell. The
police believe Taylor is the man the Mary
land officers are looking for. He told sew
eral conflicting stories and part of the
money stolen from the Rosensteins was re-
covered from him.

TALLADEGA
Differences Between Directors of City S
Cotton Mills Settled

Talladega, May 17.-(Special.)-A differ
ences between the directors of the High
land City cotton mills as to signing the Sc
curity notes have been settled. and the
progress of the erection of the mill is none
the worse. A factory sight was purchased
yesterday on Battle street, just opposite
the Talladega cotton factory. Work was
resumed on the making of the brick and
the manufacturers ordered by wire to re-
sumo the making of the machinery.
Talladega is mad today, good mad, and
1t has good cause, for its il-temper. To-
day which was to be one of the brightest
in it's history and has been looked forward
to for several weeks with great interest is
no more than any other, unless probably
one of disappointment
Today at II o'clock was to be the time
for the sale of the Talladega furnace prop
erty but last night when the Birmingham
and Atlantic rolled in from Birmingham
there alighted from 1t representative of
Landenburg, Thaman & Co., of New York,
a United States deputy marshal and an at
torney who had come to thwart the plans
of the programme that was to be carried
out today. Immediately after their arrival
an injunction was served against the SELL
Ing of the property and had stopped all
work on the furnace premises and at the
ore mines.
Three years ago this property was
bought by Landenburg, Thaman & Co., of
New York, who paid a small amount on 1t,
but the time having passed for the full
payment, the owners looked for other pur-
chasers and found them, holding that in
default of payment the former buyers no
longer held claim; this they disclaimed
and stopped the sale at the last moment.
This does not necessarily mean that the
furnace will not go in operation, but it will
only be after lawsuit that will come up

London, May 17-Queen Victoria laid the
foundation stone of the Victoria and Albert
museum today. She drove through the
streets lined with troops from Buckingham
palace, the royal carriage being escorted
by detachment of life guards. Her mai
esty was accompanied by several princes
and prlncesses, and other royal personages
met at the museum, where a raised dias
was reserved for them. The ambassador,
members of the cabinet and the leading Of
ficials occupied pavilion at the right of the
museum. Great crowds of people gathered
along the route from early morning, and
an enormous number had gathered at the
time the queen started from the palace, at
4:15 p. M The houses along the route were
decorated and there were strings of flags
across the roads. The sun shone brilliantly.
A gaily dressed assemblage witnessed the
ceremony, which the queen performed with
out leaving her carriage amid much en-
thusiasm.
The ceremonies resembled a miniature
jubilee. American flags were conspicuous
among the decorations. Inside the museum
the scene recalled the spectacle at st.
Paul's cathedral upon the occasion of the
jubilee.
The Marquis of Salisbury, Lord Rosebury,
all the cabinet ministers and the diplomatic
corps were present. nearly all of them

GADSDEN
Culprits Break Into Public Schoo
house and Do Much Damage

Gadsden May 17.-(Special)-A disgrace
full act of vandalism was committed here
last night, when a crowd of drunken men
and boys went to the public school build
ing, and, after tearing up everything to be
found, opened the water works in the
building and completely flooded it with
water They then assaulted the negro
janitor after which they fired off their
pistols promiscuously in every direction.
Tho officers are on the track of the Gull
prits, and sensation is likely when the
guilty ones are apprehended.
J. w. Ferguson, farmer living near
here, served on the circuit court petit jury
last week, but refused to accept his pay
when rendered, claiming it was all
scheme to place him in the insane asylum.
He was evidently deranged, but was al
lowed to return home, friend taking what
money he had to his family. 1t is said that
several cases on which Ferguson served es
juror will be appealed on the ground of
his mental arrangement.
Every Industrial plant in the city is in
full blast, with the exception of two fur
naces, and 1t Is thought one of these will
soon be at work. The monthly pay roll
here amounts to about $4,000, and the
laboring classes are correspondingly hap
py.
The graduating exercises of the public
schools have been postponed to the 23d.
over 5000 contraband cigars nave been
confiscated here the past week.
Agents have been here recently securing
options on most of the mineral lands of
this district, and it is thought that some
big deals are on tapis.
The next meeting of the Alabama grand
