POLITICS IN MARENGO
County is Reported to Be Strongly for
 Morgan

Linden, January 5.-GSpecial.) )-Polit.cs are at fever-heat in Marengo county now. Chairman Heckel has issued a call for a county convention, ito meet at the court house in Linden, on Tuesday, the 30th day of January, 1900, at 12 m. for the purpose of nominating two representatives in the general assembly of Alabama, and the fol- lowing county officers: Sheriff, coroner. tax assessor, tax collector, treasurer, superin- tendent of education and county commits sioners, selecting eleven delegates to rep
 resent said county in the state convention and transacting such other business as may come before said convention
 At the last convention of the county executive committee a resolution was passed to add one delegate to each beat; that is, that each beat shall be entitled to one additional delegate to what it was en- titled at the last convention.
 The resolution was intended, as we un- derstand 1t, 10 read, Each voting precinct
 shall be entitled to one additional dele
 gate,' etc., thus giving south Marengo
 much more strength.
 The center of attraction seems to be the
 race of the candidates for representatives
 in the general assembly.
 This county is unquestionably for Morgan by large majority Out there are other questions of far more importance just now the court house question: brought up in the legislature four years ago, is one. Friends and relatives gathered around the open grave at the cemetery yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock to pay the last trib-
 utes of respect to the body of Captain N.
 F. Lylse, one of the best and most highly respected citizens. He served this county as sheriff during the years 1SSS-92, since which time he has lived a quiet life, sur rounded by a loving and devoted family. He leaves a wife, two daughters and one

A Burglar Was Shot and Turns Out to
 Be Negro Preacher.

Athens, January 6.-(Special.) )--News has reached here from Mooresville, in the south part Of the county, that for some time lot of petty thieving has been going on in that village. Recently the home of MT. J. w. Crawford, citizen of that place, was rob bed while the occupants were absent. A few nights later the home of Mr. Shelly Tisdale was entered and he heard the rob bers in the house and secured his shot gun and started for the room where he heard the noise, and as he opened the door the robbers escaped and were fired upon Nothing more was heard of the shooting until yesterday, when a negro preacher living in the vicinity sent for physician, and when the physician reached the house he found the negro suffering from terri ble gunshot wound, which will produce death.
 He asked who shot him and the negro made a clean breast of the affair and told how he had entered the home of MT. Tis- dale and had been discovered and shot as he made his escape. Mr. Tisdale had not heard of the shooting and was making his arrangements to go to Texas, and left for that state some days prior to the discovery that he had killed the burglar.

WEEKS REVIEW OF
 THE IRON MARKET Serenity Marked the Advent of
 the New Year. THE DEMAND HAS lESSENED Gratifying to Producers Who are Sold Months Ahead Generally Believed That the Volume of Business
 Will Exceed 1899.
THE DEMAND HAS LESSENED

Cincinnati, January 7-(SpeciaD-The iron market for the week ending Saturday, Jan uary 6, is summed up in Rogers, Brown & Co.'S review follows:
 "The serenity of the market last week has prevailed through the first business week of tine new year. It is gratifying to the furnaces that the demand has lessened. Most of them are sold ahead for from four to eight months, and are unable to ade- quately comply with requests for ship ments.
 'sThe interruptions at the furnaces occa- stoned by the holiday celebrations referred to in our last report were more serious than then known. The majority of the southern furnaces were banked for the full week.
 'In the north several important stacks have been quiet owing to insufficient coke supply. The curtailment of product for the period is felt by many consumers depend ing upon these various stacks for their pig metal.
 Manufacturers and foundrymen general ly express the belief that the volume of business tine coming year will exceed that of 1899, and while many of them are pro- vided under contracts with pig iron for two, four or six months ahead, a large num- Der will be obliged to purchase immediate ly.
 "One manufacturer informs us that he has just made a canvass among his custo- mers as to their probable requirements the coming year for his goods, which resulted in an expected increase of 100 per cent.
 Notwithstanding that fully 125,00O freight cars of enlarged capacity were built dur ing 1899, many of the railroads unable to handle traffic promptly The difficulty attending satisfactory coke deliveries is the want of cars, and the record has been refused because of inability to ship the coke.
 Prices are well maintained throughout the entire list and the market closes firm"

STATEMENT CAUSED COMMENT
Article in London Spectator in Regard
 to Monroe Doctrine

Washington, January 1.-The statements published today credited to the London Spectator regarding Germany and the Mon roe doctrine caused some comment in dip- lcmatic circles here today. Officials of the German embassy say they lament the ap- pearance of such statements, and declare they are published with view of creating distrust of Germany's real attitude toward the American nation.
 Ambassador von Holleben, when shown the article referred to, declared that 1t was without foundation in fact and was pure invention from start to finish He should not have paid any heed ito it except for tine fact that his attention had been called to the matter by a representative of the press.
 He hopes, he says, that no serious at tention will be given to publications of the character stated, but that they will be treated with contempt by fair-mdnded peo- ple.
