Missionary Baptist church (col.) of this
city, is badly torn up by internal dis
cord Last Wednesday night con-
ference of portion of the member
ship was held and a resolution adopted
declaring the pulpit vacant, by vote
of 40 to l, but Rev. Sim Jordan, the
pastor, refuses to retire, and those who
oppose him say further steps will be
taken to remove him. The trouble is

STALWORTH ON BOND
He Shot John Thomas, the Negro Who
 Assaulted His Wife

Tuscaloosa, August 24.-(Special.)- Charles W. Stalworth of Sumter county, who shot the negro, John Thomas, with @ doubleJbarrelled shotgun on one of the main streets here yesterday, had a prelm- mary trial before Justice J. w. Carson this morning and was bound over to the grand jury in nominal bond.
 Mrs Stalworth testified that the negro entered her room at her residence. near Cuba, about ilidnight, on August 1, dur ing the absence of her husband and as- salted her in most brutal manner.
 She received Q number of verp painful wounds in the scuffie which ensued and nothing but her timely screams, which brought to her assistance a young man, who was sleeping in a room across the hall, saved her from a fate worse than death.
 next day, but he escaped to meet death at the hands of the infuriated husband here.
 Identification of the negro was beyond doubt. The Stalworths are prominent peo- pie in Sumter, and many of their relatives and friends came up to be present at the preliminary investigation. The solicitor, J. Manly Foster, and Captain McEachin and Judge Cochrane, the defendants attorneys, agreed upon bond without argument.

 Law Suit

Huntsville, August 24.-CSpeciaI)-Jacob Barker, formerly a citizen of Columbia, Tenn, is on trial in the cirepit court here on the charge of having concealed $15,OOO partnership funds from the other members of the firm. Barker, II. T. Alexander and J. F. Brownow, all citizens of Columbia, came to Huntsville while the soldiers were here and engaged in a general brokerage business. Barker is alleged to have con- cealed large amount of money belonging to the firm for the evident purpose of em- bezzing it. The case is a most peculiar one, and there is eminent legal talent on both sides. Solicitor Tancred Betts is as sisted in the prosecution by Cooper & Eos ter, of this city, and J. P. Fuzzzell, of Columbia. The defendant is represented by Humes, Sheffey & Speake, of this city; s. T. Vert, of Decatur and H. P. Figures, of Columbia. The defendants attorneys have demurred to the indictment on the ground that there is no law in the state covering the case, and that the plaintiffs should have resorted to the civil court to secure satisfaction instead of prosecuting the defendant by criminal proceedings. odAhth iS llOW u CltlEeH Ol L1dfdHS, Sub<l, and came to Huntsville to attend the trial

 The question of buying number of bloodhounds for this county is being dis cussed. It is proposed to purchase two or kept by the sheriff al the county jail, where they can be easily reached and at the same time carefully protected. It is thought that if number of dogs are owned ana kept in the county that there would be much less crime and especially such as fires and petty uhieving.
