KIMBRELL FOUND
 GUILTY OF MURDER Dr. WheeIer's Slayer Given a Twenty Years Sentence MOST INTERESTING TRIAL Special Term of Fayette County Court Was Called to Give the Prisoner
 an Early Trial-Plead
 Insanity
MOST INTERESTING TRIAL

Fayette, June 9.-(Spec. "A special term of the circuit court of Fayette county has been in session all the week, engaged in the trial of Thomas Kimbrell for killing his son-in-law, Dr. Wheeler.
 The killing took place at Studdard's Cross Roads last December. Kimbrell was stand ing on the front porch of a country store, when Dr. Wheeler came riding up on horse back. When the doctor got near he said, "Howdydo, Cooper" addressing kimbrel This was supposed to have been refer ence to a difficulty Kimbrell had with man named Cooper a short time before Kimbrell said, "I will show you how Cooper is,'' and stepping into his store, got his shotgun, loaded with buckshot, and fired both barrels at the doctor, killing him in stantry.
 Kimbrell and Dr. Wheeler had been hay ing a trouble for a year or more, and threats had been made by both parties. Kimbrell claimed that Wheeler had made improper proposals to one of his daughters about year before and he had attempted to indict Wheeler for it, but failed Plea of Insanity
 The defense interposed was insanity. The | case has been stubbornly fought on both sides. The state was represented by So- licitor w. B. Oliver and M B. McCollum. The defendant was represented by Coleman & Bankhead, of Jasper, and R. F. Peters, Esq. The jury returned verdict this morn ing finding the defendant guilty of murder in the second degree, and fixing the punish ment at twenty years Imprisonment When the verdict was read, Kimbrell, who is 55 years old said that was wrong, as he could not serve 1t all out, and after death when
 he came back to this world he would have
 to serve out the unexpred term. One of the incidents of the trial was the employ
 ment of counsel and active assistance in
 lne prosecution by Dr. Wheeler's wife, who
 is the daughter of the defendant. The fact
 was developed that she married again about four months after Dr. Wheeler was shot. The neighborhood in which the killing oc- cured was strongly arrayed against Kim
 brell, and a very large crowd was in at- tendance on the trial all the week from all parts of the county. Judge Sprott presided at the trial. An appeal to the supreme court has been taken.

CLUB WOMEN ADJOURN
Boston Sends Invitation But Insists on
 Colored Delegates Rights

Milwaukee, Wis, June 9.-The departure of Mrs. Rebecca Lowe at 2 o'c clock today concluded the Club Womans convention The new board of directors at its meeting made no effort to take the color question from the table, and one member is author ity for the statement that it will never be taken from the table. There is some talk by Mrs. Ruffin of institnting legal proceed ings in Chicago against the Federation whereby she will seek to have her alleged rights.
 The meeting of the council, over which Mrs. Lowe presided, brought out an infor- mai discussion as to future plans. The tion from the art committee from the Fed eration, which met simultaneously:
 Resolved, The the board of directors empower the art committee to appoint sub committees of correspondence as a medium of interchange of art and crafts and home industries of various states"

LIMESTONE READY
Plans for Holding Primary Mapped Out.
 Richardson Men in Majority

Athens, June 9.-(Special)-Th demo- cratic executive committee of this county met today with full committee present and laid down the plan for the holding of the democratic primary for election of a delegation from this county to the con- gressonal convention to be held on July 8. The committee adopted the plan laid down by the district committee of holding beat meetings on June 30 to select delegates to the county convention, which will name the seven delegates from Limestone.
 An effort on the part of the opposition to Judge Richardson to prorate the vote of this county met with instant and over whelming defeat.
 The county convention will be composed of nfnety-six delegates, sixteen of whom come from Athens.
 The basis upon which the representation from each beat was had was that of the primary election and the vote of the can didates for county treasurer that being the most hotly contested office at this time and drew out the largest number of votes. None but white voters and democrats will be allowed to participate in the primaries on that date.
 The man who controls the county con vention will get the entire delegation, and from the present outlook that man Is Will jam Richardson by an overwhelming vote. The action of the committee was quite harmonious.

Democratic Primary in Arkansas

Little Rock, Ark, June 9.-The demo- cratic primary elections were held in thir- ty-two counties today for state officers. The only offices for which there were contests were attorney general, secretary of state, auditor and railroad commissioners. George w. Murphy leads for attorney gen. eral on returns so far received.
 The race is a close one between John W. Crockett and B. B. Jett for secretary of state and between R. w. Mcfarland and T. c. Monroe for auditor. In the first con- gressional district Judge F. G. Taylor leads for congressman, but the vote is so divided between him, Congressman P. D. McCulloch and State Auditor Clay Sloan as to make certain a protracted struggle in the nomination convention at Newport June 30. The democratic state convention meets in Little Rock June 26.

NEGRO KILLED BY
 GOVERNOR OATES
The Man Had Shot the Gen.
 erals Cook.
OCCURRED AT OATES HOME
Negro Murderer Started Toward Gen eral Oates With Pistol in Hand When He Was Shot Dead
 by His Victims Side

Montgomery, June 9.-(Special )-Former Governor William c. Oates shot and in- stantly killed a negro man tonight, just after the latter had murdered the govern or's cook. The double killing took place in the cooks room at the governors beau- tiful home on Ropley street. The killing created quite a deal of excitement among the negroes and they congregated about the governors residence by the hundreds. Many white people were also attracted to the scene. numbers off the governors S friends calling upon him at his residence. representative of the press saw the gov ernor short while after the killings and obtained the facts of the occurrence.
 The governor was seated on his front gallery with Mrs Oates and some lady friends when his butler reported to him that a man was in the cooks apartment just in the rear of the residence and was beating her. The governor immediately went to the rear and, hearing the moans of the woman and her pleading with the man not to hurt her, he returned to his room to secure a pistol. While getting the pistol General Oates heard two pistol shots in the room where the fighting was taking alace,
 
 grasped in his only hand.
 He called to his boy to push open the door to the cooks room, which order was obeyed. As the door swung back the wo- man fell to the floor dead and Governor Oates called out to the man to lie down or he would be shot. Several times this warn ing was repeated, but instead of obeying the command, the negro crouched and started at the governor with his hand on his hip pocket. He made but single step, for bullet had been sent crashing through the mans brain and he fell to the floor face downward dead.
 evidence was taken tonight It will re- convene Monday afternoon at o'clock to hear the evidence.
 Governor Oates has not been arrested and probably will not be, as the killing seems to have been a clear case of self defense.
 The room in which the killing occurred presented horrible sight. Blood was spat- tered over the floor and furnishings, and the mans body lay across that of his dead victim, which was soaking in blood.
 In the negros pocket was a 3S-calibre Smith & Wesson pistol, with two unex- ploded cartridges. His hand grasped the barrel, the weapon having been placed in the pocket with the muzzle up.

FOREIGNERS WILL LEAVE
Unless Guard is Placed Around Tong
 Shan

Tien Tsin, June 9.-It is announced on creditable authority that unless guard is placed around Tong shan by June Il all foreigners in southern China will leave. This is considered very serious, as valua- ble railway plants and mining machinery are unprotected except by native troops. The four foreign gunboats in the river at Taku are considered able to frustrate any trouble at that station or at the forts It is reported that many thousands of boxers are removing from beyond Tang Flung hither either to surround General Mich or come to Tien Tsin.
 General Niehs troops are now fighting beyond Yang Tsun. He telegraphed the throne today that the boxers had surround ed his troops. He tried to disperse them by threats, but without avail. He had no alternative but to fight, and this leaves him at the mercy of the emperor. He consid- CTS that if the boxefs are not put down there will be serious trouble between Chi- na and the foreign powers.
 It is reported that Piet Sang station has been surrounded by the boxers, and if this tion has been cut.
 The first detailed report of the dofngs of the boxers was received by the Presbyteri- an board today in a letter from Rev. HoY- ace W. Houldng of the South Chi Ii mis- sion at Ii Ching, province of Shan Tung.

75,OOo TONS SOLD President Baxter Says Matter is Under Consideration. 1000 MEN WILL BE EMPLOYED The Building of This Plant Was Origi- nally Contemplated When Plans
 Were Made for Building
 the Steel Mill

While the report lacks official confrma- ton it is probable that the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company will, within a short time, begin the erection of a million dollar steel rail mill at Ensley, where the big steel plant is located. and that it has already booked orders for 75,O00 tons of steel rails delivery to begin the latter part of 1901.
 The rumor has been in circulation for several days, but officials of the company refuse to confirm or deny its authenticity. President Baxter states that the directors have the matter under consideration and that some definite conclusion will be reach- ed in few days, while persistent rumors are to the effect that the deal has been consumated and that work on the plant will soon begin.
 The proposed mill will cover several acres of ground and will represent an investment of approximately $1,oOO,OOO When com- pleted it will give employment to between 75O and 1000 men. It will be erected on a ste du1OlnlnS the Steel nlll dllu VIII CoNeT several acres of ground.
 It is rumored, though not confirmed by officials of the company, that the Tennes- see Coal, Iron and Railroad company re- gently closed a contract for 75,0OO tons of steel rails, delivery of same to begin the latter part of 1901.
 About two weeks ago 1t was reported that the Tennessee company had booked an or der for 75,0OO tons of pig iron and this re- port the officials are said to have denied. It is now stated that the order was for steel rails instead of pig iron.
 The building of rail mill was contem- plated when the steel mill was built at Ensley, as soon as practicable after the steel mill should be in operation. The steel mill has now been in operation near ly six months and has been remarkably successful. It's product Is of the best quail ity of basic steel and finds ready market

Protest Against Large Contin-
 gent of Foreign Forces.
MlNlSTERS' ANSWER IS UNKNOWN
All Reports from China Are of Grave Nature-Russian Chapel Destroy ed and That Country Will
 Land More Troops

London June 9.-A special dispatch from Shanghai, dated June g, says: "The tsung Ii yamen has protested to the ministers against the presence of such a large contingent of foreign forces, asserting that it cannot be only for the protection of the legations. The answer which the for eign ministers returned to this protest is unknown.
 ''The American mission at Pei Tang Chow was destroyed yesterday, but the mission aries fled to place of safety.
 "It Is reported that the viceroy of Chilli has resigned.
 Tt is proposed to bring Ii Hung Chang back from the south, but Prince Rang Vi proposes to give the post to the infamous Lii Ping Heng, the former governor of Shan Tung.
 "Pao Ting Flu is burning. The Tien-Tsin railway has finally ceased to be operated. All the English missionaries are encamped inside the legation.
 The situation in China tonight appears distinctly graver The destruction of a Russian chapel at Tung Tingan has pro- vided Russia with the desired pretext to land more troops. A dispatch from St. Pe- tersburg this afternoon saying the govern ment IS reSOlVed, II the dangerous SltuatlOn in China continues, to take immediate mill | itary action to repress the anti-foreign movement, at the same time declaring that it had no intention of disassociatins itself from the joint action of the powers, may be regarded a semi-official utterance, meaning that if there Is any hestancy on the part of the powers Russia will act alone
 Movement is Increasing
 All reports agree that the boxer move- ment Is increasing The report Is confirmed that the French agents at Mong Tse and
 Yum Nan Flu have been compelled to retire, and this shows that the ferment has reach ed southwestern China and has provoked France into taking active steps, Sir Claude Macdonald British minister at Pekin, has wired the British consul at Shanghai confirming the reported out rageS, and the fact that the throne and government have been actuated by a cret sympa thy with the boxer movement, which the government has ample power to suppress if it desires His dispatch, l however, is in no way of an alarming ture
 The latest Tien Tsin dispatches saying that the dowager empress has appointed anti-foreign generals with the pretended
 mission to suppress the boxers makes it impossible to doubt that the time has ar- rived for energetic action It is said that the British government will utilize the Chinese regiment which has been in training at We-Hai- Wei as it would be dangerous to remove the garri- son from Hong Kong at the present mo- ment.
