After the Blind Tigers
the Hartselle Enquirer.

From the Hartselle Enquirer.
 Mayor Cooper is looking closely after the violators of the law in Hartselle. The blind tigers that are carried on in the corpora tion will have to stop their business of disorder and violation if he is sustained by all the good citizens who love law and order in the town. It is to be hoped that the two arrests already made will be suf- ficient to stop the illicit and unlawful sale of intoxicants. All men ought to be law abiding citizens and ought to respect the moral sentiment of the good ci..1ons of the community.

TWO ARRESTS HAVE BEEN MADE
SatcheI Containing Complete Cracks mans Outfit Found in Possession of One of the Men-Condi-
 ton of the Officers.

A series of sensational developments have ficers by the suspected cracksmen on Tues day might, the most important of which is the suspension of Officers Scharber and Monasco on the charge of cowardice and the arrest of two men supposed to be members of the gang of burglars who have been working around the city.
 None the less important, however. is the developments in the condition of the two wounded officers, who, it is feared, are wounded more seriously than was at first thought, the condition of Officer Kirkley being especially critical.
 The news of the shooting created fn- tense excitement throughout the city, and the Age-Herald which contained an ac- count, was largely sought and read. The occurance was the topic of conversation throughout the day and unlimited sym pathy was expressed for the unfortunate officers who, in the discharge of their duty. became the victims of the murrderous bull lets which may yet cost them their lives.
 The Department at Work
 While the public was contenting itself with discussing the occurrence the police department, under the direction of Chief Austin, was busy at work trying to ferrit out some clue to the whereabouts of the desperadoes, and it's efforts met with par tial success.
 Although the men succeeded in making their escape. various clues and theories were taken up, and several times during the day it was thought that the men had sOT wounded and suspicious persons reached headquarters, but so far as can Toe learned none of them banned out, although the de-

Relieved of Their Badges

When Officers Scharber and Monasco re- ported off duty last night they were re- lieved of their badges and notified of their suspension by Night Captain Weir, acting under the orders of Chief Austin, who pre- ferred charges of cowardice against them. It is charged that both Monasco and Scharber, who had just gone off duty, wera standing just across the street from where the shooting occurred, and that they abso- lutely made no effort to assist their broth CT officers or to stop the men who escaped. The charges will be filed with the sSslice commission. and will probably be taksG up at a special meeting.

Display Of Necks and Busts of Waxen
Figures Causes N Hydropathic

-
NEW YORK. Nov. s.-wax figures are
shaking up the Demorest circle of the
women's Christian Temperance Union. At
the last meeting Mrs. w. Addy, local su-
perintendent of the art and literature Ill
vision. arose and shyly but firmly voiced
objections to the waxen forms made IN the
form of women going to party which now
decorate the shop windows. Mrs Addy
thinks they are shoekingly immodest ana
harmful TO public morals. Also. as being
figures of alleged art, she considers they
come within her province TO suppress.
Therefore she and Mrs. Emile ID. Martin,
the national chairman OF the purity COM
mittee OF the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union. were appointed a committee to
begin the crusade against them.
That is one side of the story. The other
is such that while those two caretui cen
sors shake with yirtuous Indignation. some
OF the other members are rocking with
laughter over it,
Mrs. Addy is as dear little woman as
ever existed" declared one to-day. but
think one might safely say that she is over

A HANDSOME INCREASE
OVER $4,000 LOADED CARS HANDLED
AT INDIANAPOLIS LAST WEEK.
The Pension Department of the Penn
syIvanin Lines i'm the West Is
Taking Definite Form.

The train records show that there were
received and forwarded at Indianapolis in
the week ending Nov. a total of 2sTi9
cars, 2s,6i9 being loaded cars. The cor
responding week in 1899 there were handled
at this point 22.sO5 loaded cars; in 1898,
% 81: in 1897. 2O.3l3; I'm 1896, 1s,470 loaded
cars. The increases were made largely with
the Big Four lines they handling at this
point .049 more loaded cars than the cor
responding week in 1899, the increase all
being on the st. Louis and Bee-line diVi-
sions. The Vandalia shows an increase OF
6S5; the Indiana, Decatur q Western an
Increase of ISL loaded cars. The loaded
car movement of the other lines varies but
little from that of the corresponding week
last year. Last week shipments of grain
and grain products TO the Atlantic sea-
board increased, and locally the grain
movement was unusually heavy. Then, In
all classes of freight there is a heavy ton
mage moving in all directions. There Is
shortage in box, coal, refrigerator and
stock cars. All the roads are, as far as
possible, keeping their cars on their own
lines, so heavy is their local business on
which they realize more revenue than on
through traffic. Local freight officials say
that they do not remember the time when
business was done under like conditions
In all parts of the country the roads are
keeping in close touch with their cars,
which are being loaded and unlOaded with
n promptness never before known, and
with all the large increase of new cars
IN the last two years the inadequate supply
in proportion to demand was never more
apparent. Iron, steel and wood workers
are turning out more of their products
than ever before, and are loading with
furniture, coal, stock and grain all the
cars that the roads can furnish. The busi-
ness over platforms at the city freight
depots is heavy beyond precedent.
Nc one can realize the activity without
spending a little time about the freight
centers The table below shows the num-
Der of loaded cars handled at this point
for the week ending Nov. 3, and for the
corresponding weeks of 1899 and 1898:
