that he struggled feebly to get off the track before he was struck. It Is believed foul work was done to the man. The negro belonged at Leighton.
 Late last afternoon there was a tremend- out landslide thirteen miles below this place at what is known as Hartsell Hill, wild piece of country, and one of the most dangerous places on the road, which has given a great deal of trouble in the past.
 For several days large gangs of men have been at work at the hill endeavoring, day and night, to prevent a slide, and about 100 car loads of rock have been put down, but to no avail. The hill seems to rest on a quicksand bed and after every long wet spell the whole hill seems to move, and carries the track with it.
 Last evening just before the Birmingham accommodation was due at that point the hillside came down with the roar of an avalanche, entrapping a number of work men, who had been in quicksand and were unable to eXtracate themselves. It IS known that at least three men, one negro and two whites, were killed, and it is thought several more though it is impos- sble yet to learn how many All available forces are at work on the slide, but all trains were delayed several hours this morning.

TWO MEN KILLED
In Washout on the Louisville & Nash
 vile Near Hartselle

Hartselle, June 29.-The big sliding fill just north of Hartselle, which has given the Louisville and Nashville Railroad so much trouble, gave way entirely yester- day afternoon and stopped traffic for about twelve hours. No. B. the Louisville and Nashville Birmingham-Decatur accommo- dation, was transferred It seems that the water passing under the track by means of subterranean channels had removed all the underground soil and left only a sort of frame above, and yesterday afternoon about o'clock while large crew were at work upon the spot this ballast suddenly gave way, carrying with it two men, a white man, George Foote of Holmes Gap, and Jack Jackson, colored, of Atlanta
 They were immediately submerged by the rock and slag falling in above them. The scene was heart-rending. For twenty min utes the men were heard under the ground grooming and calling for help. The crew was panic-stricken, and nothing could be done towards rescuing the men. Soon a fresh crew from Decatur were upon the scene. and they were busy all night searching for the bodies. With ropes about their waists and men at the end of each rope the men felt more safe, and were soon digging down at the exact spot where the men were submerged, but up to this time the effort has been in vain.

AL ABAMA CHAUTAUUUA
 SESSION AT TALLADEGA
An Interesting Opening Day Session Of the Assembly-A Large Numb Is
 in Attendance

Talladega, June 2S.-(SpeciaL)-The sev- enth session of the Alabama Chautauqua Assembly began this evning with a fifteen minute overture from the Opera House Orchestra of Birmingham. The stage was handsomely decorated and a large crowd was present Mr. Frank c. Cattern, the director of the Chatutauqua Bureau of Ex- tension, made pleasant talk of five min utes, dwelling on the necessity of Chautau- quans pushing the c. l.. s. c. work.
 The Mendelsohn Male Quartette gave its first number immediately after the band concert The singing of this superb com bination is very far above the average quartette. Their selections are of the high est order of music, frequently verging on classical music, and the ensemble singing of the four men is most excellent. As the thrilling strains of their first offering died away the magnificent audience broke int thunderous applause and the Mendelshoi |, had won a place at the Alabama Assembly for all time. The manager then presented Hon. Luther Manship of Mississippi MT. Manship is small in stature, about 50 years of age. with a quick, graceful manner, and a face of a born actor His amazing im-
 
 schools, but mimicry is as natural with him as with Sol Smith Russell; indeed he resembles MT. Russell. For an hour MT. Manship held the breathless, laughing at tention of a houseful of people with char acter sketches of the Irishman, the negro, the old maid, the Jew, and above all of the Mississippi negro; he has chained all these marvellous mimicries together with pretty little bits of garlands of eloquence, and his evening is one of the very pleasant experiences of a life time.
 Every one was delighted with the open ing programme, and this session will be profitable in point of attendance. Tomor- row morning a short talk from MT. Cat tern of the Bureau of Extension, is prom ised followed by the old fashioned singing contest an annual event of much interest. This year the contest will be narrowed down to classes from Clay and St. Clair Counties, Professor Morrison of Ashland leading the former. and Professor Zellner of St. Clair conducting the latter. The selections will be from the Old Sacred Harp, and gold badge goes to the winning class, each class singing five selections in thirty minutes. large delegation of Elks from Birmingham invaded the city today, instituting a local lodge here with twenty five or more charter members.

When the average citizen begins
to show disposition of careless
ness regarding present or future in
dustries for the city and valley, the
city is approaching a dangerous
condition for its future welfare.
Apathy is the least excusable con-
dition tor any one. Trying and fall
ing or doing and falling short Of an
ticipation is not half so bad, as to
become listless or apathetic over
conditions. 1t is the danger point
for any town or city. A proposition
confronts our citizens, it must be
met, not evaded. No one can shirk
his or her share, if prosperity shall
stop with US. We absolutely know
that the sugar factory will not be
run anymore. This has been given
out cold by the present owners
and management, something must
be done, Are you proposing to let
some one else do it, if you are you
will fail miserably of retaining this
or securing other enterprises.

DANCER FROM LIGHTNING.
Very small Percentage of Human BoinKs
Are Ever Struck.

Very small Percentage Of Human Beings
Are Ever Struck.
A reference to lightning brought out
the fact that the weather bureau is
using its ponderous organization for
the collection Of lightning statistics.
The officials are less concerned with
the identification OF the thunderbolt
than they are with its disastrous e.
feots. According to lightning statis-
tics. 312 Inhabitants OF the United
States on an average are struck by
lightning during each year. Twenty
I've hundred were struck during the
last nine years. Farmers suffered most,
probably because OF their exposed oc-
cupation, for the danger from light
ming is found to be four times as great
in the country as in cities. January
naturally Is the least dangerous month
and July Is the most dangerous-123
persons were killed during July. 1893.
During the eight years ending with
1897, 1858 buildings. valued at $17,-
672, ,772, were destroyed by lightning,
1891 Of these were barns. Compare
lively few churches were struck. In
1898 buildings valued at 81, AL $3.50 were
destroyed. New York state headed the
list. with 1876. There were no disas-
trous strokes in Idaho. Arizona, Cali
fornia, Oregon. Nevada or Utah. In
the same year 1.S42 animals, valued at
34s, 900. were killed by TO strokes of
lightning. This mortality was un-
equally divided among cattle, horses.
mules. pigs, and sheep. whole fiocks OF
the latter being killed by single bolts.
There is no means OF finding out the
exact number of trees struck. but 1t is
interesting to know that the list Of liza
bility is headed by the oaks. Firs,
beeches, pines, larches. ash and birch
trees are most liable to be struck In
the order named, on account OF their
| conducting qualities. The records show
! an increase In the number OF damage
| dealing lightning strokes. especially in
| Europe. But the cause of this has not
yet been discovered. The only definite
fact observed by the bureau is that
| these violent manifestations seem to
| occur in connection with the movement
OF sluggish cyclonic areas across the
country during the warmer months

There is bright outlook for the
appointment of Hon. Charles A.
Towne to fill the vacancy created
by the death OF Senator Davis OF
Minnesota. Governor Lind is a
democrat, and is known to favor
Towne, in case he makes any ap-
pointments. The question being
considered is whether it is worth
while to name senator for term
of four or six weeks. The new ap>
pointee would take his seat on
Monday next, and his term would
run until the meeting OF the Min>
nesota legislature in January AT
the outside the appointee could not
hold his seat tor a longer time than
two months. Whether Mr.. Towne
would care to accept this brief
honor is not yet known, but it he
desires it, he can without doubt
have it. That he has earned this
recognition is not open to dispute.
His devotion to the reform cause
was amply demonstrated by his
declination of the Sioux Falls vice
presidential nomination, and the
splendid services he rendered dur>
ing the campaian. He deserves all
the honor and recognition that can
be given him by his party associates.
In case he is not appointed the
place will probably remain vacant
until the legislature elects the late
Senator Davis successor.-Rocky
