TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE
MT. Willie Mathys' Miraculous Escape
 from Death

Trussvlle April 7.-(special)-Early 7.- on Thursday morning Messrs. Will Mathys, H. F. Favre and W. J. Miller and others left this place on turkey hunt. About 10 o'clock the party missed MT. Mathys, and after calling in vain, began search for him. They finally decided he had de- serted them and gone home; but, to their surprise, no one here had seen him. In spite of all efforts, nothing was seen or heard of him until tonight, when he walked in, svle and haggard, upon his astonished friends. It seems that in cut ting across an old field his horse had stumbled into an old dry well, killing the horse, and MT. Mathys himself barely es- capped being crushed to death There he lay helpless all day Thursday and Friday, without food or drink and by Saturday his sufferings were intense. Decomposition had set in on the horse, and the foul air was fearful. He had almost lost conscious ness Saturday evening" when shadow fell over the well. He looked up; it was a buzzard descending. Another followed, then another, and another in quick success sion. As they descended MT Mathys seized each buzzard by the feet until he had all he could hold Then, remembering that he wanted to take his torn and muddy Easter suit to Otis Cleaning and Dyeing Works to have it cleaned, pressed and re- paired he said. Shoo, and tas buZzards rose from the well, saving both his suit and himself from an untimely death.

JOE FREY WON
 GASTON STAKES Was a Battle Royal from Start
 to Finish. HERMANN RAN GOOD SECOND Ampere, the Crack Two-Year-Old Ran Away at False Break and Jump the Fence, Unseating
 Knapp
HERMANN RAN GOOD SECOND

Memphis, Tenn, April 7.-The Gaston Ho- tel stake, at a half mile, for 2-year-old colts and geldings, furnished a battle royal at Montgomery Park this afternoon be- tween John W. Schorr's Belvidere, Lady Hawkstone, Colt Joe Frey and Jake Mark lein's Garry Herman, by Imported Fisher, dam Silk Gown, the former winning by a neck in terrible drive all the way through the stretch. Schorr's crack colt, Alards- check, was withdrawn during the morning, and Silverdale was substituted in his stead. Seven horses were scheduled to go, and A. Cahn's Ampere, by Charade- Electricity was immediately installed faVorite, with the Schorr entry second choice at 2s and 3s. Ampere, who is regarded as one of the best 2-year-olds developed at this meeting, car ried probably more money than any horse at this meeting. To a false start Ampere ran away and despite the best efforts or Bert Knapp a strong jockey to hold him, the colt ran three-quarters and jumped the fence, unseating Knapp. Judge Rees immediately declared all bets off, and per- mitted MT Calm to withdraw the favorite from the race. In the second book the Schorr pair were installed even money fla vorites. To a good start Joe Frey showed in front, with Garry Herman second and Silverdale third. Winkfield sent Herman out after the flying leader, and at the head of the stretch was on equal terms, with Frey winning by neck. Bard was thlru' two lengths away.
 Two favorites succeeded in crossing the wire first during the day, Joe Frey in the stake race and Banshed in the fifth race. The weather was delightful and the track fast.

OATES AT TUSCALOOSA
For Two Hours He Entertained Large
 Audience-Scored Johnston

Tuscaloosa, April 7.-(Special )-Ex-Gov- ernor Oates spoke to a large audience at the court house this morning. For more than two hours he held the attention of his hearers by a speech in which he paid the most glowing tributes to that grand old statesman, Senator John T. Morgan. He exposed the "business administration of Governor Johnston and gave an account of the latter's methods of conducting the af- fairs of the state with telling effect.
 The audience was composed of many of the best citizens of the city and county, as well as law students from the uuiversi- ty, and ladies. If the sympathy of the au- dience may be taken as an augury there is little doubt as to the way in which Tus- caloosa county will go on the senatorial question.

 T wonder if you are Catholic?"e
 Being reassured on that point he smiled confidently, and with show of renewed interest said that he would lend her another little book which she would call good, and he hoped she would read both. Thereupon he handed to her a volume of two hundred pages, pocket size, and bound in vivid red cloth. It looked harmless enough, as did the be- grimed pamphlet he also gave her. The man eagerly inquired when he might call and was told to come back one week later He did so, and was met be- fore reaching the basement bell by member of the household, who warned him to leave and return no more.

 Toledo, Spain, April 25, 1900.
 Castilians hotels from the showiest of the imperial capital to the shabbiest of border villages, are celebrated through out Christiandom for extraordinary dis comforts. This "Necropolis of three empides" possesses the poorest of them all--so poor that una noche Toledana Ca night in Toledo) has passed into prov erb, indicating unmitigated wretched- ness. The most expensive of Toledo's hosterieS-one cannot truthfully say "best," where are no degrees of good ness--is the Fonda Imperial, fronting the once fashionable Zocodovar, or Moorish plaza, in the heart of the city. Its rather imposing exterior gives prom ises which are unfulfilled within, and the sophisticated visitor bases we'll founded apprehensons of evils to come on the first wh!ff of vile odors encoun- tered in the long, dark entrance hall. The railway omnibus, which is about the only wheeled vehicle in Toledo, clatters straight through this front hall, from the street to the interior, or patio, and, of course, pedestrians follow suite. What a contrast to the cool, delightful courtyards of Andalasia, with their sparkling fountains, fragrant flower- beds and orange trees!
