Mrs. Le Moyne.

The large and constantly growing set of Browning admirers in New York are all agog over the news which has leaked out that near the close of the present theatrical season Messrs. Liebler & Co. are going to give a series of Browning maitinees-mati- nees at which Tn a Balcony" and other delightful plays of the great poet are to be performed. They gave one such matinee at Walacks Theatre d few weeks ago, and it was an artistic and financial tri- umph. "In Balcony" was played by Mrs Sarah Cowell Le Moyne, Eleanor Robson and Otis Skinner. These, with others, are to appear in the Browning revivals in the spring, and it may be that Mrs. Le Moyne will be starred in a few of these plays the following season. At any rate, the forth coming visit of Mrs. Le Moyne in "The Greatest Thing In the World" will be the last time to see her here in that absorbing play. Star and play will be at the Jefferson Theatre next Friday might.

 Avenue.

The dead body of a negro named Perry Sanders was found early yesterday morn- ing on the sidewalk in First avenue be- tween Tweaty-sixth and Twenty-seventh streets. There were three bullet holes in his breast and the body was yet warm when found, for some men who were attracted by pistol shots went to the place where Sanders lay. The police were immediately notified and the dead man was carried to an undertaking establishment, where an ex- animation yas made. One of the bullets pen etrated the left breast, another lodged in the face, and third went through the left side.

 The police would not discuss the killing, but 1t is understood that man was ar rested by Officers Shirley and Cole yester- day afternoon, who is suspected of having committed the crime.

Perkins and tells a sad tale of the recent actions of the man who was killed He says that Perkins was lawyer employed by the Donphant Company but that he had been drinking and several months ago spent several hundred dollars belonging to the lumber company. He left his family and began wandering over the country. He was never heard from again until run over by the Louisville & Nash vile train at Blount Springs last Saturday.

Perkins, Doniphant Lumber Go. The company was notified and MT French was sent to Alabama to com plete the identification.

KITCHENER HAS
 DIFFICULT TASK UneaSiness in England Over Af-

 Consequences May Result
 To the Emprie. .H /
THE PRESS IS PESSIMISTIC

London, December 1.-(4:50 am )-There is virtually no fresh news from South Africa this morning, but the retirement of Lord Woolsely, tine return of Lord Roberts, and the appointment of Lord Kitchener to the supreme command, occurring as they do si- multaneousy, are keenly discussed. Despite some misgivings hearty approval is gen. orally expressed of Lord Kitcheners ap- pointment. It is felt that, if any one can clear up matters in South Africa, he is the man. and it is readily admitted that the task before him, though of a different kind, Is almost as difficult as that which faced Lord Roberts ten months ago, and is cal culated to give the fullest scope to all Of Kitcheners talents as an organizer
 The Morning Post hints broadly that the recent demand of Lord Roberts for re- Inducements has not been complied with, and insists that Lord Kitcheners hands must not be tied by any lack of men or horses. It says:
 'If endorsements are withheld or de- Iayed, Lord Kitchener may be paralyzed with what consequences to the Empire no one can foresee. From 30.00O to 5O,0OO men are required."
 All the editorials dwell with considerable emotion on the nations debt of gratitude to Lord Roberts who has successfully piloted us through one of the darkest hours of our history"
 From Capetown come indications of the uneasines felt All military posts through out Cape Colony are being strengthened Bloemfontein is now prepared for any pos sible attack. Extra scouts are out and guards watch the streets in the night time Mines have been laid along the railway.
 The garrisons on the Orange river drifts are being increased
 At the same time measures are being ta- ken to assist in the restoration of order and prosperity. The Pretoria correspondent or the Daily Mail announces that The Brit ish are distributing oats and seed potatoes among the surrendered Boer farmers at nominal prices without which the farms would go untitled for another year"

MONTEVALLO.
Charles w. Cary Goes East In Interest
 of the Town.

Montevallo, November 30,-(Special.)-
 Charles w. Cary, financial agent of the Montevallo Coal and Railway Company is in Birmingham and will visit Philadelphia, New Yark and Hartford for the purpose Of arranging for the erection of a five mill lion dollar cotton mill at Montevallo and the opening of about thirty coal mines in the Montavallo coal basin. It is estimated by Pennsylvania and Alabama coal experts, that there is enough coal in the Montevallo coal basin to last one thousand years. The Montevallo coal is said to be equal to the English camel coal.
 MT. Cory has the reputation of being one of the most progressive men in business in the State and whatever he undertakes to do is generally finished. He never gives up. He is a large stockhoder in the Monte vallo Coal and Railway Company miners of the celebrated Montevallo coal at Dog wood, and that company is doing a large coal mining business there and is prepar- ing to export coal to Cuba and South Amer ica- Mr. Cary will also endeavor to erect a ten million dollar cutlery company at Montevallo. He thinks that edged tools should be made from the Ensley steel and that diversified industrial plants should be  South, and that laws should be enacted whereby capital could have as fair show ing as possible, and that commissioners should be appointed by Congress to settle labor disputes.
 While the members of the Legislature were at Montevallo on Thanksgiving Day in company with Hon. J. M. Falk- ner, general counsel for the Louisville & Nashville Railway Company, they arrived at the conclusion the buildings of the Girls Industrial School were very much too small to meet the requirements of the school and they stated $1O0,OOO is needed immediately to complete the work begun.
 A special train over the Louisville X Nash vile and Southern railway companies con yeyed the members of the General Assem- bly of Alabama to Montevallo, and great praise should be rendered these roads in their efforts to aid the poor girls in ob- taining an education.
 It is currently rumored the Louisville @ Nashville Company will build a road from Calera to Montevallo and to Aldrich and Dogwood and by the Sulphur Springs in the Montevallo coal basin to Gurnee, Ala bama. This road if built will pass over the outcrops of forty eight coal seams, scEse of which are five to nine and cne-halt feet thick.
