HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS.
NEW DECATUR.
Arrangements for Building the De- catur, DanvlIIe and Southwestern.

New Decatur, October 2.-(Special.)- The project of building the New Decatur, Danville and Southwestern Railroad from New Decatur to Jasper, Is progressing favorably. There have been three pre- Iiminary surveys of the proposed road made by Messrs. John Carlisle of Gin cinnati, and D. J., A. L., and F. J. Con- nell of Chattanooga. It is more than probable that the survey route selected will not touch either Moulton or Danville as at first proposed, as it is believed 1t is more feasible to adopt route about midway between those two places.
 It is proposed to build new town lit tie to the south of Moulton and Dan vile. which will likely be named Garlic after MT. John Carlisle, who's is trustee of the Cincinnati Southern. It is learned that through J. W. Mallon, a director in the Cincinnati Trust Company, that com pany has agreed to float the bonds of the new road. Messrs. D. J., and A. D. O'Connef are we'll known business men of Chattanooga and the work done and plans projected by these gentlemen seems to place the stamp of surety on the road. The New Decatur Commercial Club has been quietly but actively at work in con Junction with the promoters, and all ar rangements have been completed by H. K Adams, chairman of the club com mittee on railroads. Tor mass meetins of the citizens of both towns about No vember l. when the plans will be fully explained and the road formally launched as a business venture. It is likely that a big barbecue will be prepared for the mass meeting.

GERMANS URGE IMMIGRATION

vert the American wilderness into inc greatest and richest country which tbe world has ever known. Wherever inc German has settled he has been a nrin, . factor in the material. moral and inteIlec- tual upbuilding of our country. Among the owners of homes he occupies todav relatively, the head of the list: his in. dustrial is proverbial and by his thrift and business abilities he has added im- mensely to our national wealth. His code of morality Is based on those funda- mental principles of religion which have ever been practiced by the American people. His desire for general and liberal education is part of his national char acter and where the Germans are found in greatest numbers there the percentage of illiteracy is the smallest.
 Believing that our State in the devel- opment of her soil, her mines and indus tries would be benefited by the settle ment within our borders of immigrants from the Germanic countries, and recog- nizing this a propitious period to induce such immigrants to locate among us, we, citizens of Alabama, in convention assembled hereby promise our loyal sup port to the movement to promote German immigration to our State

HORSE BREAKS HIS NECK

New York, October 23.-A chapter of &C., cidents marred the racing at Morris Park today and resulted in the death of three horses and perhaps fatal injuries to little Olsen the jockey. Three other boys had narrow escapes.
 In the first race King fell at the water jump directly in front of the grand stand and broke his neck, Barry, the jockey, escaping injury.
 In the fifth race three horses went down and Olsen who had the mount on Timothy Foley was badly hurt The doctors said they feared a fracture at the base of the skull.
 The race was at one mile maiden three year-olds and upward. Just after the start Timothy Foley was apparently crowded on the fence and went down. The field went on and when rounding the far turn Johnny of Navarro, with Coch- ran up, overstrode himself and twisting a plate turned complete somersault, while Councilman Tom, J. Callahan rid ing fell over him. Johnny of Navarro was killed and the other horse so badly hurt he had to be shot. The jockeys marvelously escaped and walked back to the stand All this threw a damper on the days sport.
 Prophetic won the Castleton stakes, the | only fixture on the programme beating Octoroon and Lady Godiva among others. Kimberly was backed from to to to in the second race and Virginia Grace from 100 to 1 to 20 to in the third but neither proposed killing materialized.

 MT. Housman of Montgomery, speak | ing. he declared, as a citizen of Alabama. | paid an enthusiastic tribute to the Ger
 mans as "the most desirable of all im-
 migrants" and to Alabama as a most bountiful land. He said that many new
 industries had been recently established in Montgomery.
 Dr. Henlkell of Cullman gave his hearty endorsement to the objects of the eonven- tion.
 Colonel Thompson of Sheffield said he had spent five years amongst the ter man farmers of Pennsylvania, and he was convinced that they were the very princes of all farmers They had made one county of Pennsylvania the richest agricultural county in the world. If Ger mans should come in large numbers, the Alabama lands now selling at five dollars , or six dollars an acre would be made worth one hundred dollars an acre
 Our people in Alabama waste more than is necessary to make this state the richest land under the sun

 The following was unanimously adopt ed:
 Whereas, The State of Alabama pos sesses unparalleled attractions for thrifty | immigration, and whereas this can only | be hoped for through systematic plans | and efforts to secure 1t; there, be 1t Resolved, by the German Immigration | Society of Alabama, in convention as- sembled, That we recommend the forma- | tion or establishment of an immigration bureau for this state; and be 1t further | Resolved, That the officers of this so- | ciety be- and are hereby appointed a spe- | cial committee to present this matter to | the Legislature of Alabama and use all | proper means to secure it's passage.
