NEGROES CHARGED WITH MURDER
Mysterious Death of an Unknown
White Man at Old Franklin.

Fayette. Mo, Aug 23.-Jim Glib
son, Will Gibson, Joe Brock, Jack
Mast, Roll Burton and Henry Jor-
dan, all negroes, are in the Howard
county Jail, charged with being impli
Gated in the murder of an unknown
white man ut Old Franklin, this
county.
\ week or more ago the murdered
man applied at negro cabin in1the
little town for something TO eat. The
negro woman mistook him for "a
tramp and refused to feed him. until
he pulled out a big roll of money and
rendered her 50 bill for pay. He
asked for a place to sleep, and Jim
Gibson, a young negro, volunteered
to escort him to an old empty house
on the Lee farm, near town. The
next day the man wasfound chucked
partly under the house, with his skull
crushed. He was not dead and a
physician was called.
The man regained consciousness,
but could give absolutely no account
of how, when or by whom he was as
saulted. He could not tell his name
and nothing was found on his per-
son whereby he could be identified.
as his money and gold watch had
been stolen. The man died and was
buried, and as vet no clew as to his
identity has been found.
In the meantime the negro, Jim
Gibson, was spending money freely,
and also deposited Il sum with a
clerk at the store in Old Franklin
This aroused suspicion, and he was
| arrested, and to sheriff Gibson he stat
ed that he won the money shooting
craps, and named the other negroes
above mentioned as his associates:
but they declared that only SLIGO
passed between them during the
game. This led to the arrest of all
the negroes.

RooubIican Poll Shows Proba-
Bile BRYAN Majority Is
$4,000.
ruF LEADERS GREATLY ALARMED.
THIS Is INpIANA.s YEART CHANGE.

Indianapolis, lnd., aug. -d.-Ib -
nositiyelv asserted that the poll Just
completed by the republicans shows
Indiana to be democratic by Is, 900
majority.
This revelation threw the republi-
can leaders into a state of frenzy and
consternation. Chairman Hernly
secretly issued a call for a meeting OF
the state executive committee. To
the members of the committee Hern-
lev said that at the present time the
state is in the hands of the democrats
and it will take heroic effort for the
republicans to get it back before cleo
tion.
Poll books were carefully gone over
and the members of the committee
themselves verified the report that
the state is democratic by Is, 900
majority.
State candidates were informed of
the situation and were urged to
make canvass of the state and as
sist in making a more thorough or
ganization. Col. Durbin, republican
candidate for governor, who had
been looking after the organization
in his own part of the state, will
shift the scene of his operations.
The republican poll shows that the
greatest change from the republican
to the democratic column is in the
counties comprising the gas belt.
This state is due to the operation of
the trusts in that section of the
state.
Many of the largest and most inn
portant plants of the cities in the
gas belt have closed within the last
twoyears and thousands of men have
been thrown out of employment.
In Anderson, Mr.. Durban's home
city, hundreds of laboring men have
been thrown out of employment
within the last year as result of the
operations of the trusts and they
will vote the entire democratic ticket.

CENER AL CONTRACTORS
 AND BUILDERS
The Oak Hill Marble and Stone Works An Important Birmingilxm
 Enterprise.

The Oak Hill Marble and Stone Works at Nineteenth street and Huntsville ave- nue, just opposite Oak Hill Cemetery, is one of the leading institutions of the kind indicated by its name in the state. The manager, Mr. Joe M. Meighan, has long been a. resident of Birmingham, and his stone and masonry, brick work, grading and general building is in evidence all over the mineral district of Alabama. His is the oldest and one of the most prominent establishments of the kind in the state, and MT. Meighan is one of our most wide awake and progressive business men. Largely interested as a real estate owner here, and being one of the most prominent taxpayers in the city, he is a builder in every sense of the word, and richly de- serves the merited success with which he meets as a usiness man.
 MT. Meighan has for many years oc- cupied the honorable position as alder man from the Fourth ward, wherein he resides. As a public official he is ever found on the right side on all public dues- tions. Retiring in disposition, he is yet safe and firm, and his vote ever goes for an honest and progressive city adninis- tration. This characteristic of the official is in perfect keeping with his position as a business man.
 The Oak Hill Marble and Stone Works now makes a speciality of large contracts and is not confined in its operations to Birmingham or even Jefferson county. but has extended its field to other sections and successfully met strong competition. The firm has capital and push, an excellent combination.
 visit to the marble works will con- vince anyone of the excellence or work manship there turned out, and prices are always as reasonable as favorable condi- tions make possible.

The wealth man states that there is no change in the position of the low and high atmos- phere, low and high atmospheric pressure continues and the indications are for dry weather for the near future all over the belt. The market will harden prices as long as dry weather prevails in the belt Spot quotations were reduced f in this market today leaving middling at 91Ae, a price yet too high in comparison with the value of August 6 11-16cl
