NEW RUM0R STIRS
MURDER MYSTERY
Alleged Pair of BIood-S Stained Cuffs
Send the Police aScurrying
Last Night.

There came last night a new rumor in
the mystery surrounding the death of Mr..
John w. Scott, and as a result Of this
this city were very busy for time. This
rumor had it that a pair OF cuffs bearing
blood stains had been discovered OF heard
of through one Of the laundries Of this
city. These cuffs were supposed to have
been left at a laundry d day or SO
following the Scott murder.
Minute and careful inquiry at seven of
the principal laundries of the city failed
to bring forth any confirmation of this
rumor, but the detectives will probably
resume the work of running it down to-
day or tomorrow. The police attach no
special importance to this latest runlor,
but at tie same time, in line with other
rumors, they will be compelled to find out
whether or not it is true.
Mr. III. E. krewson, the Pinkerton de-
tective. who was in Richmond for ten
days investigating the mystery, will not.
| in all probability, return. 1t was stated
last night, semi mi-authoritatvely, that Mr..
krewson and the other Pinkerton men
who had been here with him had given
up the case as one OF the mysteries of
crime, and had abandoned all idea OF
working it out to q solution. Certain it
is that although Mr.. krewson. according
to his own statement. was due here on
Friday, he has not yet returned to the
city.
When asked about the case yesterday,
Chief Tomlinson, of the local detectives,
said There is absolutely nothing new
in the case. It stands now just as 1t
has stood. The rumors of the missing
watch having been located amount to
nothing. There have been lots of rumors
! and they all amounted to the same thing. .

HARTSELLE
Reunion of the Confederate Veterans
 Great Success.

Hartselle, September 4.-(Speclal.) = Camp Friendship, No. 3S3 U. c. ", met in annual reunion here August %, 30 and 31. This reunion is looked upon as a fixture in Morgan County With mem- bership of more than hundred, distrib- uted over 600 square miles, the occasion is one of importance and the source of much satisfaction to the membership. The attendance is always good, and on the last or public day, as 1t is called, the country showed its appreciation of the occasion by a large attendance and a bounteous dinner for the old soldiers.
 This camp never fails to lend a help ing hand to it's distressed comrades, and that feature has become one of the regu- lar items in its order of business. In the election of officers for the ensuing year when the Hon. Dan Walden, mem- Der of the legislature from Morgan, and the author and champion of a bill in- creasing the pensions of our soldiers dur ing the session last closed, expected ito surrender his position as commandant of the camp, position he has held at inter- vals for five years, the boys told him, "Oh, no; just keep your seat, Dan You have done your duty as a soldier and as a representative, and though you were defeated, once with us, and once for us, you have met with no dishonor, so just stay where you are, as captain of this camp, for one more year."

 Loft of Barn

She is said to have left no sign of the cause of her selr-destruction, but she Is known to have been strongly attached to a young man, who had been paying her attention for a year or two.

Chancery Court In Session-Another
 Court House Wanted.

Oneonta, September 4.-(SpeciaL)- Chancery Court Is in session, Chancellor John c. Carmichael presiding. Messrs J. w. Inzer of Ashyille and John J. Moore of Birmingham are the only visiting law yers.
 Blount county is again in the throes of a court house removal campaign. Having built three within the last few years and having two still on hand, some of her peo- pie are clamoring for another. A few years ago in order to compromise the matter court house was established at Bangor in addition to the one at Oneonta. This year the people voted to discontinue the one at Bangor, and have only one for the entire county. Two weeks ago under an act of the late unlamented legislature an election was held in which several places were voted for, after which all were dropped but the two receiving the highest votes cast On September 16 the final vote is to be had, only Oneonta and Center being in the race. As Oneonta had a large plurality and only lacked a few votes of having a majority in the last contest it will doubtless be an easy winner.
