THE EFFECT
Of the Assassination of King Humbert
 of Italy

Paris, July 31.-5:15 a. m.-One must go back to the Lyons tragedy, when President Carnot was assassinated under similar con- ditions and at almost the same hour, at the conclusion of speech, to obtain cor rect notion of the effect of the news of the crime of Monza upon Parisians.
 It was with incredulity that the people read the brief telegram in the Ecladr an- pouncing the assassination, this paper be- ing the only one that made the announce ment, but it was not long before the real ity of the tragedy dawned upon them, and the first feeling gave place to one of deep indignation.
 King Humbert, who knew Paris well, was @ very popular figure here, and the diplomatic understanding that was reached last year plotted out all recollectiens of former divisions
 The general feeling is that Italy will not suffer any serious consequences from this unexpected event, the army being too de- voted to the monarchy to permit trouble. The new King is recognized a worthy successor to his father and in this the papers echo the opinion of Signor LuZzati, former Minister of the Italian treasury. who was interviewed just before his de- parture for Milan.
 Signor Luzzati, who saw King Humbert when he was about leaving for Monza, said that he came into close relations with the Prince fo Naples, finding him a highly edu- cated man, possessing considerable knowl- edge of historical, military and economi- cal questions. His character seems reso- lute and firm and he evidently knew how to act with energy.
 Signor Luzzat accompanied the last statement with significant gesture, as though wishing to say that young king was a man with firm hand, and con- cluded with the words: "Italy in him pos sesses a vigorous sovereign

LAD KILLED BY TRAIN
Boon Loving Was Struck by Fast Pas senger Train

Scottsboro, July 0.-(Special )-Boon Loving, son of a former section foreman Frank Loving, near Bridgeport, this coun- ty, was struck by a fast passenger train on the Nashville and Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway and instantly killed. The remains of the lad were found by track walker strewn for half mile along the railway track They were gathered up and inferred at Mount Carmel burying ground last Saturday
 There is probability nov of the Southern Railway putting on another passenger train between Chattanooga and Huntsville. This is something that has been needed on the Southern for long time, the service on this end of the line is very poor.
 In difficulty here Saturday night John Carter was dangerously cut with a large clasp knife in the hands of Clabe Tipton.
 George Bryant, young man from the upper end of the county, was brought down on the train and placed in jail here Friday night. It is thought he is cracy and will be examined today. He burned his mothers house and all the contents Thursday. He was perfectly wild when taken from the train, and it took the com bined strength of six strong men to ham, dle him and put him in jail.

Killed by Lightning

Mrs. John O'Leary was struck and in- stantly killed by a flash of lightning at her home in this city about clock this after noon. Mrs. O'Leary had just left the din- ner table, where were congregated the members of her family, to join her husband in the store room, adjoining the residence. A terrific storm was raging, and moment after Mrs. o'Leary had entered the store she fell dead from the shock MT. OLeary was standing within an arms reach of his wife when the flash came, and she fell in his arms.
 A rather remarkable feat of the lightning was that it did not leave a mark upon any thing in the store except to shatter an elec- tric light globe which was suspended just above the spot where Mrs. O'Leary stood. It is believed that the lightning entered the house by way of the wire, as Mrs. OLeary was only struck in the head.
 The Adjutant-General today received a bill of lading for the tents shipped from the War Department at Washington for the Alabama National Guard.
 It is probable that they reached their des- tination today. The shipments were made, one to Mobile and one to Birmingham. The time and place for the encampment will no doubt be announced in a few days.
 The 122d volume of the Alabama Supreme Court Reports is in the hands of the print CT, and will be ready for delivery within two weeks. About three volumes a year of these reports are published. Seven hun dred and fifteen copies of each report are published. Lawyers have complained that this number is insufficient. No reports be- yond seven years back can be ob tained from the State Department.

PLOT DISCOVERED
By Which the Welland Canal Was to
 be Blown Up

Buffalo, N Y, July 30.-A Tonawanda special to the Courier says that wallet was picked up at the Central station in that city tonight which had evidently been dropped by a passenger and which, when examined by the police, disclosed two doc uments which are considered proof of a second plot to blow up the Welland canal. According to the special, Boer sympathy is regarded by the frontier police as the motive
 The most pronounced document is as fol- lows:
 "Comrades-Greeting: As agreed before you left on your mission, I now, by order of the chief comrade, transmit to you in Buffalo directions to govern your conduct in the discharge of your duty.
 Tn the Hotel Shelton in the city of North Tonawanda, N.

upon a comparison of the German and the Japaneses advices. The Germ9n report says the attack stopped on the 12th; the Japanese report places the cessation of firing on the 17th. The State Department officials believe this is easily explainable by consideration of the differences be- tween the Christian and Chinese calen- dars.
 Another curious statement, however, is contained in the Japanese report to the ef- feet that six legations were still being de- tended on the 22d. This is in apparent con flict with MT. Conger's last reported state ment that the legatoners were ''in the British legation under continued shot and she'll" etc.
 It was understood that MT. Conger meant that all the legationers were in the Brit ish legation, though this might have been a strained interpretation of his message and the various legations mentioned in the Japanese despatch may be still peopled.
 Military men here are amazed at the statement that the legations successfully resisted nearly a months incessant smelling by ten -battalions of Chineses. That any trace of brick building should remain after such a bombardment is utterly in- conceivable by them.
