Investipatinr Newel,s Death,

The coroner's inquest into the death of H. C. Newell of Milldale. whose mu- tilated body was found on the Bir- naingham Mineral track at Reeder's, a week ago today, is stiil going on at Bessemer. The testimony of witnesses so far has eiicited the following alleged facts: In company with George Bull lard of Bessemer. A. J. Sumner and Jim Buchannon of Milldale. Newell came to Bessemer from Milldale a week ago. from yesterday. The party began drinking at once. and later some words were passed about Newelrs money, of which he claimed he had been robbed by some one in the crowd. It Is not known exactly how much money he had, but 1t included S2o- gold piece. As late as 6 o'clock Mon- day evening Newell was seen at Bessemer saloon, and he then stated that he intended to go to his mothers home near Woodward mines. It was early the next morning that his man. gled body was found on the railroad track. Sumner and Bullard were seen In Bessemer Monday afternoon late. and from that time until midnight their movements have not been &C., counted for. They are now held in the city prison at Bessemer on a charge of highway robbery. Two theories are advanced. Newell either started to see his mother and while walking along the railroad track, under the influence of liquor, was run over by a train, or his body was placed on the track after he had been murdered.

She says that she heard no cry from the negro. and thought that it was some body passing.
 It is claimed that the negro. Reuben Talliver. was at church last night, and also was the woman. but 1t can not pc asceftalneQ whetner tHe two leIl tnc church together. or even got together afterwards.

City Council Held Meeting.

The City Council of Selma held a meeting last night. The suggested at- tempt to pass the salary ordinance over the veto of the Mayor did not come up It will probably come up at the next meeting. MT. Packard, representing the l.. and N. Railroad, went hc,ore the Council and proposed to furnish some cuts of Selma's city building and give the city a write-up in a pamphlet that he is getting up. He wants $14s from the city and to then sell the, city some of the pamphlets for cents each. The matter was referred to the Committee on Printing. AS the cuts that MT. Packard propose to have made can be had for about s15, it is more than likely that the committee to which the prop osition was referred will let the matter rest in peace.
