the walls of brick down with special care.
So they pulled and threw them down. any
device being adopted which would facilitate
the work.
In spite of the necessity for rather rough
methods in the demolition of the building
the superintendent Mr.. Walter H. Clough,
found that he could save about half NIL
lion of bricks. which will be used in the
construction of the new edifice. This brick
Is piled up along the 1+th street front. Mr..
Clough estimates that there were over two
million bricks in the building. and if the
work had been carried on by different
methods, and, of course, more slowly, Il is
probable that another half million of per-
feet bricks could have been taken out.
Time, however, was the important factor,
and in eighteen days from the beginning
the building was raZed to the ground, the
site cleared and everything was in readi-

Rapidity of work is to mark the erection
of the fine modern structure which is to
arise on this site. The new building is to
be built of steel, with the spaces filled in
with walls of stone and brick and terra
Gotta. Stone OF light color will be used ex-
clusively up to the fifth floor, and then the
balance Of the walls will be made OF light
colored bricks and terra Gotta. The in
terror of the ho1el is to be like the con-
struction, thoroughly modern and up to
date. There are to be 200 rooms but IL is
estimated that in This building as is the
case Of all structures of this character,
about one-third of the interior will be taken
up with what is known as public space.
The latter will, of course, include an i'm
mense lobby, with galleries for musicians,
ranges of parlors and reception rooms and
dining rooms and a banquet hall and a ball
room The exterior design is a pleasing
example OF the French Renaissance.

Elijah Clark mt huntsville.
Elijah Clark the negro who on Sunday
assaulted Susan Priest, thirteen-year-old
girl, was taken from the jail in Huntsville,
Ala, yesterday evening and lynched near
the spot where his crime was committed.
His body was ridded with bullets. The
sheriff defended his prisoner to the last, but
a dense smoke from combination of tar,
feathers and oil fired by the crazed mob,
was too much for him, and he was dragged
from the Jail and placed under physicians
care. William Vining, ian employe of the
street railway company, who attempted to
rush through the CROWD and up the jail
steps, was shot and dangerously wounded.
Men, principally employees OF the big cotton
mills at Dallas, 2 a suburb of the city,
searched the woods all night for Clark, who
was identified at the time ne assaulted Miss
Priest by her little sister
ing ten miles from Huntsville and landed
in Jail, and by 1s0'claek the news of the
prisoners capture was heralded to all parts
of the city. A mob composed of mill op-
eratiycs and men of all callings was soon
formed and marched to'the Jail, where they
stood for time, apparently waiting for
leader. Sheriff Fulgham, quickly seeing
that he had a desperate crowd to combat.
wired Gov Johnson the facts in the case
The governor responded to the effect that
he had ordered the militia at Birmingham.
Montgomery and IBecatur to proceed with
all haste TO the scene The sheriff then tel
ephoned Judge S. NJ. Stewart. and asked for
an immediate trial of the negro. and the
Judge replied soon after that he had ar
ranged for special session of court at 3
o'clock before Judge H c. Speake.
| The mob by this time had assumed alarm
| ing proportions, and the sheriff, thinking to
| quiet the storm, appeared at window and
| announced that special trial had been ar
ranged for the prisoner, and that he would
| be brought before the court at O'Clock in
| the afternoon. This was greeted with
| jeers by the crowd of citizens and the cry
''Revenge! went up.

Continued from First Pageo

at first demurred.
The court ordered him to answer the
question. Witness said they had begun.
the letter two or three ways. The first
start was Dear Friend That was de-
cided not to be affectionate enough. and
then they fixed My Dearest Nick Wit
ness said Isabel dictated and signed the
letter, and certificate was taken stating
that the epistie was a decoy letter and
not a rea! outburst OF passion.
ENDEARING LANGUAGE.
The letter was written in endearing Ian
ellage, and stated, that the writer had
forgiven him. The writer had said that
the world frowned down on her, and her
mother was growing cold. and that she
was going away. She urged Gllligan to
fly with her to distant land. The letter
was cleverly written, and calculated to
trap a cleverer and less ardent lover than
Nick Gilligan. 1 was signed in very
affectionate way.
The plan was to have Isabel and Nick
escape on train. and to have hurricane.
Branch board the train later ana arrest
the prisoner.
The witnessz said the letter was con-
cocted by himself and was written at Dr.
Turner's home in the presence OF the per-
sons named Branch went there and sent
for the ladies' who at first did not know
what was wanted of them. Witness fur-
Their said he had hunted the prisoner with
bloodhound. A big crowd was trying to
find Giliigan. The purpose of the letter
was not allowed to go to the jury
A WARN BOUT.
DR.. II. D. Cameron, an expert OF Brook
Ign, n. Y, was sworn. He said he was
thirty-three years old and had oractlcea
in New York and Brooklyn hospital
eleven years. He began technical testl-
mony and was soon stopped.
Mr.. Holland made a feeling speech, char
acterizing the methods Of Judge Hinton
as irregular and unjust. Judge Hinton re-
Piled and Mr. Holland followed. It was
the warmest exchange between the law
yers which has yet happened. Colonel
Baker got UP and pleaded that the case
so on and wranglings be put 10 an end.
DR. Cameron was withdrawn without Civ
ing his testimony.
T. H. Curtis was put on He helped
shroud the deceased and told about The
wounds. He said the wound was higher
on the left side than on the right. Others
present We're Mr.. Warren and Mr.. Wash
ington.
PIECE OF HUMAN FLESH.
The witness said there was SO much
tramping he could not say about the
tracks. He saw no blood on the ground.
but saw a piece of human flesh on the
fence.
Witness said the wound was four inches
long and the wound on the left side was
one and one-quarter inches higher on the
left side than on the right.
Colonel Boykin's collar was taken off
and the distance was measured on his
neck.
