BEN EVANS DEAD
 FROM THE WOUND
Inflicted by Officer DiSherOOn Saturday Night-That Off,
 cer's Second Man.

Benjamin Evans the negro shot by Off, ficer Dsheroon Saturday night, died yes- terday afternoon from the wound.
 The wound was not thought to be dan gerous on first examination, but it seems that complications arose that caused it to grow worse, and death resulted.
 Evans was said to be resisting arrest when the officer shot him. Complaint had been made to the police against Evans by his wife. Saturday night the police were notified that he was in a house in Second alley between Twenty-ffth and Twenty sixth streets, and Officers Disheroon and Armstrong were detailed to arrest him. When they went to the house where they were informed he was, 1t is said that Ev- ans was throwing furniture around the room, and as the officers approached 1t Is stated that he said he would not be taken He was said to have previously made threats as to what he would do if the of- ficers attempted to arrest him, and on Saturday night the officers say that he put his hand behind him as if to draw pistol. As he did this Officer Disheroon pulled ms pistol and fired, the ball entering one or the negro's thighs He was removed to the city jail, and Dr. Wheian, city physi- clan, dressed the wound.
 ficer Disheroon shot and fatally wounded a negro on July 16 last; so Evans is the second man he has killed.

STOCK AND COTTON
 AND THE PRODUCE
Markets of Birmingham Show Increased Activity-Stock
 Inquiries-The Produce

The local stock market has been ex- tremely dull for several months past, and while the autumn sets in with decided signs of life, activity is not looked for until after the election. Signs of returning business are indicated by a number of inquiries MT. H. F. Wilson, who makes a speciality of handling local securities, says that there Is a constant inquiry for bank stocks. He also reports considerable inquiry for land and improvement stocks, notably BesSe- mer The dividend which the Bessemer Land and Improvement Company paid not long since gave marked strength to its stock and as it is generally thought that another dividend will be declared next Feb ruary, brisk trading is almost sure to re- suit.
 Good middling cotton brought 10 cents In Birmingham yesterday. The receipts here have not been very large thus far, but the movement will be quite large by the end of the present week.
 Birmingham's produce market has been unusually lively since the first of the month. Morris avenue is well stocked with fruits and vegetables, and the demand Is steady.
 The grocery jobbers are as busy as they can well be. Trade was perhaps never so good with the grocerymen as |. is this fall. As the managing member of prominent firm remarked yesterday If any whole sale grocer of Birmingham is not satisfied with business conditions this year, so far as our line goes, he must be very hard to please"

MRS. H. M'GLONE
 STILL MISSING
Her Husband AnxiOuSIy Awaits Information Description of
 Personal Appearance.

Harris McGlone has heard nothing of Mrs. McGlone since she arrived in Birmingham last Sunday. MT. McGlone had sent the nec- essary money to Dr. Searcy, of the Ala bama-Bryce Hospital at Tuscaloosa to pay her expenses to Birmingham. Dr. Searcy wrote that he put her on the train Tues day, and employees at the union passenger station in this city state they saw wo- man that fitted the description of Mrs Mc- Clone get off of the Alabama Great South ern train that day. She was seen about the depot by several persons, and the maid in the waiting room says she got on one of the afternoon trains that day and left town.
 MT. McGlone had asked that Mrs Me- Clone come to Birmingham to see their lit- tie daughter, who was quite sick at that time. He thinks she has strayed away and got lost. Any information of her present To- cation will be appreciated by MT. McGlone if left with the police of this city.
 Mrs. McGlone Is described as being 40 years of age, medium height, weights about 135 pounds has black eyes, dark brown hair, She wore a blue waist, black skirt and black sailor hat when she left Tuscaloosa.

Missionary Work Injured

Chicago, October S.-In a letter to Miss E. Ward of the Woman's Presbyterian Board of Missions, Mrs L. B. Neal, mis- sionary, says that the Boxer uprising in China has wrought irreparable injury to missionary work in China. She says:
 Gan you imagine PelNin now? and Tung Chow and Pao Ting Flu? All these mis- sions' promises are gone, utterly destroyed. The work of years wiped out, as it were; the Christians terrified, scattered, robbed Of their all and many of them massacred, and all Manchuria, Chi Lii and Shan Tung already swept clean of all missionaries, and the first two of all large mission stations, while the whole interior of China is being cleared of foreigners of every description. The suffering of those traveling from the far inland stations have been simply terrible. One party of nine teen from Shan Si, where Yu HSien, under whom all this Boxer uprising started in Shan Tung, is Governor, had fifty days of narrowing experience getting from Ping Yang to Han Ye."

SMILEY ARRESTED
One of the Men Arrested Will Turn
 States Evidence

Chicago, October S.-Frank N. Smiley, the detective of the Mooney and Roland agency who was one of the men arrested today in connection with the insurance frauds, which ended with the death of Marie Defenbach August 9, has made d full written confess sion of his part in the crime. The confess sion, If true, duplicates with him Dr. A. M Unger and Frank Wayland Brown, assis- tant manager of the Mooney and Roland agency, the other two men under arrest.
 When the case goes on trial Smiley, it Is announced, will turn States evidence. States Attorney Dineen expects that all three men will be convicted of conspiracy to defraud the New York Life Insurance Company, Canadian Order of Foresters and the Knights and Ladies of Honor, but 1t is very doubtful whether any charge of mur- der can be formally made on the evidence available
 At least one other man connected with the Mooney and Roland agency is now under surveillance for suspicious actions at the time of Miss Defenbach's death and it is not improbable that several other conspir- ators can yet be connected with the crime.

OPELIKA
Crime Rampant-Two Tragedies Re-
 ported-A Remarkable Case

Opelika, October S-(Special. .)-Last night the engineer of freight train on the Gen. tral of Georgia Railway discovered a body on the track near the passenger depot in this city. It proved to be Morris Hill, a negro, who had been murdered by being shot in the back of the head, the bullet coming out of his forehead. A coroner's jury was empanneled and has been in ses- sion all day. Willis Nelms, a negro, has been jailed all indications pointing to him as the murderer. Jealousy seems to be the cause.
 Charles Barnes, a young white man of this place, was assaulted and knocked in the head by negroes near the fertilizer fac tory last night and his body placed on the track of the Western Railroad. A passing freight train ran over him and ground one of his arms off at the shoulder. The pain revi1ed him and he walked to Opelka, one mile distant hunted up a doctor and climbed up on a table and was opearted on. He will recover. His record for en- durance is almost unparalleled.

BIG COTTON RECEIPTS
Cause Confusion at New Orleans
 TeamSters Strike

Memphis, Tenn. October S.-A special from New Orleans says
 ''The rush of Texas cotton through this port is giving rise to unprecedented con- fusion. Up to date tho Texas and Pacific receipts here have been about 90,000 bales more than they were last year, counting from the 1st O. September to date. The Soether-; Facifc freighter Fl Sud sailed to- uay for New York; large portion of her cargo being made up of cotton. The Excel sior will sail tomorrow, and the Fl Dorado on Wednesday. This makes three boats in three days. Usually sailngs take place every other day. less encouraging fea- ture of the rush is the fact that some sixty teamsters struck for higher wages today, taking advantage of the demand for their services. Their ultimatum was not com piled with, and an effort will be made to fill their places.

All Traces of Captain Shields Company
 Are Lost

Manila, October 5, via Hong Kong-The report of the capture of about sixty men of the Twenty-ninth Infantry on Martinique Island is confirmed through communica- tions from MacArthur and Kempff from Martinique Island, but details are lacking. The Yorktowns relief column landed at Torrijos on the Martinique coast and marched to Santa Cruz, which was the pro- posed route of the captured party, without encountering the enemy or learning any thing definite regarding the captives except that they had already disappeared.
 Martinique Is small island within forty miles of Luzon It is possible that the reb- els have conveyed the >captives to Luzon.

 control the amount of money that the peo- pie use. How is 1t that any person not di- rectly interested in the issue of paper money can favor plan which places this almost omnipotent power in private hands? I want you to ask yourselves how note signed by bank can be better than note signed by the government. The Republi- can party is placing the burden of govern ment upon the people without regard to equality. It is making the poor man pay more than his share of the taxes of the government. We favor an increase income tax that makes every man contribute to the support of the government according to the benefits he derives from his govern ment.
 ''When the President was inaugurated n March, 1897, he promised that he would en- force the laws against the trusts, and that he would recommend new laws if neces- sary. Three years and half have passed and the attorney y-general does not enforce the trust laws, and the President has al- lowed three sessions of Congress to con- vene and adjourn, and has never yet rec commended a specific remedy for the trusts. MT Hanna, the dominating factor in the Republican party, has given three defi- nitons of the trust He says that in the first place. there are no trusts; then he says the trust is a good thing, and then he said: Do not be afraid of the trusts; if they are injurious, we will take care of them. What a consolation to feel (and not have to thinl)-just to feel that you are safe in the arms of Hanna! l believe that you must destroy the trusts, or they will destroy the country"

Of the Democrats Meets in Montgomery
 Today

The State Democratic Executive Commit tee meets in Montgomery at noon today to take up the Thompson-Brewer contest in the Fifth District.
