MIR. WELLEs'S MISSION.
Chief Engineer of the Southern Ex-
 pected in Tuscaloosa.

Tuscaloosa, Aug. 26.-(Special.)- Chief Engineer WeIles of the Southern Railway did not come to Tuscaloosa as was expected that he would do yester- day, but MT. Lodge, the representative at this place of the Central Iron and Coal Company, is expecting MT. Welles and his party today. It is probable that the party will reach here tonight at the latest.
 The building of the extension of the Tidewater or Searcy branch of the Mo- bile and Ohio Railroad to Searles, the headquarters of MT. Lodges company, and to Brookwood, means much more to the city of Tuscaloosa that the building of the average railroad for seventeen or eighteen miles. Some of the very best coal in the district will be tapped in the region penetrated oy this extension, and it is well known that there is a good quanaity of red ore in that part of the county. The great drawback to the building of this extension of the roads Searcy branch has been the very heavy grading that has heretofore been considered abso- lutely necessary.
 As stated in this correspondence be- fore, the Southern Railway engineering party, which has been in the field the past three or four weeks, claims to have found much cheaper route than any heretofore mentioned, the maxi mum grade not going over one per cent. It has been estimated that on the routes heretofore surveyed, 1t would cost at least s350.00O to build the ex- tension. The northern part of Tusca- loosa, including the prosperous mining town of Brookwood, Is practically cut off from the city of Tuscaloosa by req son of the fact that they have no rail- road connection with the county seat.
 President Wyman of the University of Alabama has appointed the follow ing fellowships in the University for the ensuing year: Modern Languages, Miss Lila St. Clair McMahon of Liv- ingston, an A. B. of 1891, and candi- date for A. M; English and History, Paul Cook of Anniston. A. B. of 1901, and candidate for A. M: Physics and Mathematics. Robert S. Hodges of Flor ence; Civil Engineering, Frank Hous- ton Powe of Talladega, B. s. of 1901, and candidate for c. E.
 The Tuscaloosa Belt Railway has been made defendant in two suits amount ing to s50.00o. brought by J. W. Hep stall. administrator of Mrs. M. E.. Blackburn; deceased. One suit is for $40, GOO for causing the death of Mrs. Blackburn, and the second is for $10,0 for injuries to her daughter, Edna Blackburn.

HE REFUSED THE MOB
NEGRO STANDS OFF A GANG
 OF WHITES.
Armed With a Scythe Blade Enoch Henderson Entrenched Himself in the Attic of His
 Cabin.

Decatur, Aug. 26.-((Special. )-With a scythe blade, Enoch Henderson, ne- gro farmer of Moulton Heights. last night stood off a mob of twenty-five masked white men and probably fa- tally wounded one of the mob which had sworn to kill the negro. The mob wanted Henderson's life because of a difficulty between Henderson and a white man named Noel Graham sev- eral days ago. Graham is badly hurt, having been struck on the head with brick thrown by the negro.
 Graham and the negro, whose lands adjoin, had fallen out over a gate upon which Henderson had placed a lock and key. Learning of the difficulty and Graham's condition, some of his neigh bors became infuriated, and, it seems, plotted to visit revenge upon Tender son.
 Henderson received warning of what was intended from a white man who had overheard the plot. He barricaded himself in the attic of his cabin, armed only with the scythe blade. and await ed the mob's arrival. About midnight the mob attacked the house, firing a dozen bullets into it. Henderson says several of the men wanted to fire the house. They broke down the door and SeoA tCu ihCO luS dtllC. OUG Ildu was In the lead with a lamp and a revolver in his hands. Before this man reached the head of the stairs Henderson claims to have struck him full in the face with the blade yielded with both hands. The man fell to the floor and was carried away by the mob as Hen derson's fierce resistance seemed to have repulsed them. They went away, swearing they would kill Henderson and the white man who had warned him. Officers are investigating, and believe they have located the member Of the mob wounded by Henderson, Henderson and his negro neighbors are terribly scared, and the whites are sul- len and silent. but evidently deeply aroused and determined. Henderson claims he recognized one man despite nis mask. There has been bad blood between the negroes and the whites at Moulton Heights for some time.

The News Qf Alabama

from tiis Senatorial DistIict, is being spoken of as a candidate for Attorney General in the coming State campaign, and will doubtless be put forth by his friends to make the race.
 Farmers report that what seems to be rust has appeared in the cotton gen. orally, and that the crop will be cut off considerably. This is attributed to the damage which cotton sustained by the recent storm; the stalks having been twisted and the brace roots brok- en. which stopped the growth and fruit ing of the plant. If dry weather should now set in. which is very probable, this drying of the stalk will cause the boils to open rapidly and the crop will be gathered much earlier than usual in this part of the country.

Louisville Courier Journal.
 Nothing that Is said in the Democratic platform of the dominant faction of Pennsylvania Republicans is equal in virulence to what has been said of it by honest Republicans in and out of Penn sylvania. The platform sounds like ti- rade. but in fact 1t is an unexaggerated statement of the exact truth. The actual situation is so bad that no reach of rhet- oric can make it seem worse than 1t is.
