CAPT. ROBSON IN TROUBLE
He Will Have to Pay Duty on Relics
 Which He Gave to Alabama.

The following Washington dispatch, wnich appeared in yesterdays Atlanta News, will be read with interest here, as the lSI5cs mentioned in the dispatch were to be presented to the State of Alabama during the Fall Festival:
 Naval Constructor Richmond Pearson Robson. the hero of the Merrimac, Is in trouble.
 While over in the Philippines the idea occurred to him of making a present to the State of Alabama of certain relics of the Spani. h war found in Manila.
 So he gath red together number of pears, poles and other supposed discard ed war material which. it is asserted, were thrown upon junk pile.
 On his return to this country, the me mertoes were shipped addressed to MT. Hobson.
 The customs officials at San Francisco dtclarel the articles dutiatl. and so in- formed MT Hobson, who at once appeal ed to the Secretary of the Treasury for remission of the duties, claiming that the articles were Government property and entitled to free entry.
 Meanwhile Hobson arranged with the Alabama officials for a reception of the relics upon their arrival. Committees were appointed and the occasion was to be made Il historical one. Hearing of this, the customs officials took further action by reporting the matter to the Navy Department When Hobson had been called upon by the department to explain how he. came into possession of the articles and if they are Government property, how they can be donated to any State or historical association.
 The proposed celebration in the mean time has been delayed, and it is probable that Hobson will either have to pay the customs duties demanded, or that Con gress be asked to pass bill authorizing free entry of articles and their gift to the State of Alabama.

 Torturing Symptoms Disappeared. Miss Annie Hoban, Post Pocahontas of Yemassee Council of Red Men (Wom- en's Branch), writes from S72 Eighth Avenue, New York:
 "Three months ago I was troubled with backache and a troublesome hesvi- ness about the stomach. Sleep brought me no rest for it was Q restless sleep. The doctor said my nervous system was out of order but his prescriptions didn't seem to relieve me. was told that Pe- runa was good for building up the nerv- ous system. After using 1t for two months know now that it is. I want to say that it made a new woman of me. The torturing symptoms have all disap- peared and feel myself again. Peruna did me more good than all the other medicines I have etaken."-Annie Hoban.
 Superior for worn-Out Women.
 Mrs. M. Van vrancken, Chairlady of Sick Committee of Lady Standard Mu- tual Benefit Association of New Orleans, 821 Fourth St., New Orleans, La., writes;
 "In connection with my official work I have repeatedly found Peruna Q most the system there is nothing which will cure any quicker, and as a remedy for wornout women it is superior to any thing I know.
 "It restores a mother after severe childbirth, and prevents pains and ir- regularities in very short time. have found it of much value both as a pre- ventative of colds and as tonic when have been feeling badly, and although never give testimonial for anything, I make an exception in favor of Peruna, as consider it of exceptional value."- Mrs. M. Van Vrancken.
 Since Using Fortuna Do Not Know I Have Nerves"
 Miss Louise Bertsel, 191l Second St., Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: -.''
 "My health was excellent until about six months ago when seemed to have collapse from overdoing socially and the doctor ordered an entire change of scene and climate.
 "As this was an absolute impossibility at the timerI had to try and regain my health in another way and was induced by friend who gave Peruna such . good recommend to try Fortuna. "I cannot tell you the condition of my nerves when I began to use it. The least noise irritated me and I felt that life was not worth living, but Peruna soon changed me into we'll woman, and now do not know I have nerves."-Louise Bertsel.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving 8 full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- visa sSAtis.

STRUCK BY AN ENGINE
TWO NEGROES THROWN FROM A
 WAGON.
Dan Jackson and Lee Cooper Had Thrilling Experiences While Trying to Cross . Rail-
 road Track.

Two negroes in . wagon were driving towards the city on the Jackson Ferry Road near the Louisville and Nashville stock yard about 9 o'clock last night, when they were struck by . Louisville and Nashville Railroad switch engine. They were thrown out. but were not hurt. They got back into the wagon and again started towards the city, when they were run into and struck by a Vest ern Railroad switch engine. The two ac- cidents happened at the same crossing and almost at the same spot.
 It was about 9:30 o'clock when the news of the accident reached the city. It was at first reported that one of the negroes was killed, but this report was exagge- rated.
 The negroes In the wagon were Dan Jackson, a farmer. and Lee Cooper. a cot ton picker. Cooper was painfully hurt, but Jackson escaped without a scratch.
 Jackson says that he and Cooper were driving along slowly to the city. There is a transfer track near the Louisville and Nashville stock yards. This track runs across the road and connects the Louisville and Nashville and the West ern tracks. It is very dark at this point and the negroes had started to cross the track when a switch engine of the Louis vile and Nashville Road struck them Jackson says he did not hear a whistle blow nor a bell ring. The wagon was overturned and the negroes were thrown out, but neither of them were hurt. The mule was badly frightened but was hitched to the wagon Rgain. The men got in the wagon the second time and started toward the city. It required only few steps of the animal to pull the wagon on the track, and about the time the wag- on had half crossed the track switch engine of the Western Road struck the wagon, throwing the men out again. Jackson escaped harm for the second time, but Cooper was painfully and se- riously bruised. He was not able to get up, but lay moaning on the ground.
 The mule also played in luck the second time, as he escaped unhurt. Cooper was placed in a wagon and message was sent to the city. A physician went to the scene and examined the injured negro He says that no bones are broken and there are no external injuries, but the negro appears to be painfully hurt in formally. The wounded negro was sent to his home in Vesuyius.
 No report of the affair was made to the police and no arrests were made.

His collar bone, one of his little fingers and left ankle were broken and he was badly bruised about the head. He was picked up and sent as quickly as possible to his home on Sayre Street.
 Reports from his residence late last night were that he was resting as com fortable as possible under the circum- stances. His son. Mir D. B. Holt is one of the dispatchers in the office of Chief Train Dispatcher Frank Young of the Mobile and Montgomery division and he and his father will have the sympathy of numbers of friends.

HUNTSVILLE FIRES.
Jury Has Been Raised to Examine Into Origin of Suspicious Fires.


 Huntsville has had so many fires re- gently that the authorities have become suspicious that they are of incendiary origin. Insurance Commissioner E. R. McDavid has been asked to have an in- vestigation under the law which provides for the appointment of a jury of three reputable citizens to look into them. Yes terday he authorized the Sheriff of Mad ison County to raise a jury for that pur- pose. The jury has probably already been organized and will begin the inves- tigation at once.
 The law has been invoked twice recent ly in this city. and in one case an ar rest was ordered, but the grand jury failed to find an indictment against the person susp aCtCd. In Birmingham an in- vestigation was made recently by jury under this law the suspect arrested and put undar bond.
 The lnsura nee Commissioner will urge the jury at Huntsville to make n thor ough investigation, and, if the fires were the work of incendisries. to do all in their power to bring the guilty persons to justice.
