Indignant Citizens.

From the Guntersville Democrat.
 A flood of protests and criticisms have been received this week. directed at the results. or lack of results, of the criminal week of Circuit Court. To publish all would be to use up the type needed for other matter. And in the interest of the public peace it would be best to leave them out. To publish even some of them would probably precipitate a state of mob law at once. It is believed by some of those best informed that Marshall has reached it's climax in this line and that the pendulum of public opinion will likely now swing toward the enforcement of law without its technicalities toward the punishment of capital crimes with the speediness which now characterizes the trial of a poor darky who steals a ham of meat. Until that time arrives each citizen can take his. choice of protecting the honor of his own family at the mug gle of his own shotgun or of selling his property and moving to some section where the punishment fits the crime.

Beyond Peffer's Persuasion.

From the Washington Post.
 Ex-Senator Peffer has emerged from the great coat that enveloped him and his pendant whiskers during long constftu- tionals along F street last winter. Still recupcrating from his severe Illness, he has put on lighter attire. and now oc- casionally appears on the much-freQuent- ed thoroughfares pushing a carriage, in which the passenger is q bright-eyed lit tie girl of perhaps 12 months. Yesterday the ex-Senator's route was along the broad walk in front of the Treasury De- pertinent, where. solitary and alone, he walked slowly up and down with meas ured steps, patiently pushing the baby carriage which bore his little granddaugh- ter. .s
 Naturally the passersby of the gentler sex were attracted by the spectacle of the fond old man and the innocent infant The latter became the circle of an inter- estinG group, the leader of which made the usual overtures.
 What is co name?" reiterated the lady again and again.
 "Tan't % tell the lady % name?' said the long and solemn Kansan in hollow voice.
 But the granddaughter was obrdurate, and, following long barley and exchange of endearing terms. the ex-Senator ped aled slowly up the pike toward his daugh- ter's roof tree.

FRANCE CLAIMS A
 MUCH LARGER SUM
Report as to the Amount of In- demnitieS Was Incorrect
 y Published.

Paris, May 3.-The French foreign of flee corrects the figures of the indemnity to be demanded from China as cabled to the foreign office by M. Plchon, the French minister at Pekin, purporting to be taken from the report of the commit tee on indemnity and telegraphed to the Associated Press May 1. It was then an- nounced that the amount China is to pay was fixed at 1865. .OoO. .OO0 francs. The for eign office now announces the amount should have been 1855 900 900 francs. How ever, this amount may yet be reduced. These figures provide for expenses up to July l.
 The foreign office Is anxious that the United States support Germany's pro- posals to increase the Chinese customs duties and wishes 1t to be pointed out that it will be proved to be the best guarantee of the "open door, As no sat isfactory alternative Is suggested which will produce the necessary sum. a dis agreement of the powers may result in the occupation of portions of Chinese ter ritory by individual powers as guaran- tee for their respective claims.
 Regarding the issue of a Chinese loan, France and Russia favor the collective guarantee of the powers.

Wouldn't Take Of Their veiIs.

From a Washington Dispatch to the
 Chicago American.
 There is much talk in Washington socie- ty at present in regard to the action of Mrs. Kernochan and Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Cruger at a luncheon given recently by Mrs. Moorehead in her handsome house in I street. 'The Yelled Ladies" Is what society has dubbed the two New York women by reason of an incident at this luncheon.
 Of course, every woman invited to the luncheon attended in her newest and most stunning costume. On reaching the house. of course, they removed their gauzy wells. That is, all but Mrs. Ker- nochan and Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Cruger.
 Everybody supposed these veils would be taken off as soon as the first course was served. But in this instance every body was disappointed, for with Spartan tenacity the two women clung to their ''beauty veils to the astonishment of the rest of the company.
 It is said that neiher Mrs. Kernochan nor Mrs. Cruger was at all pleased with the fact that the places of honor were not given to them. Mrs David Hill. wife of the assistant secretary of state, sat at the right of the hostess while Mrs. Culver of New York, mother of Mrs Charles Spaulding, who also was present, had the second place at the left of Mrs Moorehead.

Railroad Matters.

From the Eufaula Times
 Things are assuming a tangible shape in the railroad matters and from all appear ances we will be greeted with the good news that the route will be surveyed. Things are being kept moving in that d. rection and before any one Is aware of it the train will be coming around the bend" making Eufaua one of the prin- cipal stopping places.

ENGINEER IS DEAD.
]. N. Smith, Who Was Injured in
 Wednesdays Wreck, Passes Away.


 Selma, May 3.-(Special)- )-lingfneer ?. N. Smith, who was on tbe ill-fated engine that went through the Birming- ham Mineral train at Calera yesterday morning and overturned down the em- bankment, died at 1 o'clock today at the inflrmary in this city. The nnfor4 tunate young man was severely scalded, the skin having been literally burned from his face, hands, shoulders and arms. He was brought to Selma on the. passenger train yesterday after noon and carried to the intrmary, but his injuries had been too great and death came today.
 The contract was let today to J. l.. Higgins of Hawkinsvile, Ga, for the erection of the new Baptist Church. The exact amount of the contract was not given out by the committee having the new building in charge, but it is in the neighborhood of $S0.000. The new church is to be built entirely of stone, and will be one of the handsom- est edifices in the South.
 The Louisville and Nashville Rail- road has. had recorded eight deeds for rights of way purchased from Selma to Sardis over which the Pensacola division of the road will come directly into the city. The aggregate amount paid for the rights of way is $750. This fact argues that within short time the work will commence on the road, and that as soon as the steel brige, which has been contracted for, can be erected. across the Alabama river the Louisville and Nashville will come to Selma directly instead of over the Westerns track from Gulf Junction. The Western will also use the new track instead of their present roadbed.
