 for Trial Monday.
BOTH SIDES CLAIMING IT

Age-Eeraid Bureau. Clancey's Hotel, Montgomery, August 10-(Special.) al.)-There is trouble brewing in the Second Regi- ment Alabama National Guard, over the election of colonel An election was held last Wednesday, the candidates be- ing Lieutenant Colonel A A. Wiley and Major E. H. Graves. The official vote will be opened and published next Wednes- day, and until the publication of this vote the exact status of the case cannot be known, as both candidates are claiming victory. tiat
 There are thirty-six votes ip the regi- ment, and Major Graves makes the fol- lowing claims: Enfaula 4, Prenix City l, Opeliha 8, Tuskegee 2. Wetumpka l, Montgomery 2, Prattville ?. Luverne ?, Selma 3; total 20.
 Colonel Wiley Is conceded: Montgomery 4, Phenix City l, Tuskegee l, Wetumpka 2, Prattville 1, .Luverne 1, Demopolis 3, Tuscaloosa 3: total 1&
 The friends of Colonel Wiley say the result will not show the above figures. They claim irregularities in the votes and say that they will get one more vote each from Tuskegee, Prattville and Luverne than credited in the above list, giving Wiley 19 and Graves II votes. A telegram was sent to the adjutant general from Prattvllle Wednesday night stating that the votes of Prattville should be changed from Graves g. Wiley l, to Wiley B. These officers were in this city yesterday and publicly stated that the vote should stand as counted. If the vote results in tie, as now seems probable, the adjutant general will | have to cast the deciding vote. Military men say the case will likely reach a court of inquiry, to be composed of the Cover nor, judge advocate, general and adjutant | general.

MONTEVALLO ON
 THE NEW COUNTY
Citizens Hold Meeting to DiS-
 cuSS Beavers Ordinance
MEMORABLE CONVENTION
Resolution Was Passed After consid- erable Discussion Endorsing New County Movement. But Asklng
 Minimum Be 400 Miles.

Montevallo, August 1o-(Special Jon call issued by Mayor E. s. Lyman the citizens of this place held a meeting last night to take some action on the ordi- nance introduced by Delegate Beavers of this county in the constitutional conven- tion providing for a new county to be made of portions of Shelby and St. Clair counties.
 J. M Reynolds was called to the chair by Mayor Lyman. The object of the meeting was then stated by the mayor, and in conclusion presented resolution asking the convention to not endorse the Beavers ordinance, which has been re- ported favorably by the committee on county boundaries. Failing in this the convention was then asked to place the southern portion of the county on an equal footing with the northern portion. giving them like privilege to form new county from a portion of southern Shel- by and territory from adjacent counties.
 The resolution brought out great deal of discussion, and it developed that Co., lumbdana had pledged the people of the northern part to aid them in the forma- tion of a new county If they would sup port Beavers for delegate to the con- vention. It is now believed that Colum- biana would like to recede from that pledge and 1t is thought the resolution was an effort to manipulate Montevallo in the interest of Columbiana-
 As substitute to Mayor Lyman's res- olution, W. B. Reynolds introduced the following.
 Be it resolved by the citizens of Monte vallo, That the constitutional convention be memorialized to pass the ordinonce re- gently offered by Delegate Beavers and fayorably reported by the committee on county boundaries, providing TOT Inc formation of a new county of certain parts of Shelby and St. Clair Counties. Be 1t further
 Resolved, That we hereby memorialize the convention to recede from It's decision as to the minimum number of square miles to county, and that the same De reduced to 400 square miles.
 This substitute was adopted and w. B.. Reynolds and H. E. Whitaker were ap- pointed a committee to prepare the same and forward a copy to the delegates from Shelby and St. Clair Counties.
 The resolution asks merely that Colum- biana be permitted to carry out the pledges made to the people in the north end of the county, 1. e., to aid them in the formation of a new county and wnicn they are pledged in writing to do.
 Then if the convention will aid in call ing an election to permanently locate the county seat of Shelby 1t will be doing a great deal to settle question that has been a disturbing factor in Shelby County for years. .eY

Several Pardons Issued.

Governor Jelks has acted favorably up-
 on several applications for pardons.
 Among these was the application of Wade
 Brockman, colored, who was sent up
 from Jefferson county on charge of
 murder. The evidence before the Gov
 ernor shows that on July 90, 1895, Arthur
 T. Wood, a deputy sheriff of Jefferson
 county, went to Brooksfde at night to
 serve ejectment papers on family of
 negroes named Jenkins. The deputy
 sheriff was fired upon and killed. Brock
 man and several members of the Jenkins
 family were subsequently, arrested. On
 September 23 1896, Brockman was con-
 victed of mansaughter and on October
 8 was sentenced to ten years.
 The evidence submitted to the Governor
 and by him to the advisory pardoning
 board showed that Brockman was not at
 Brookside on the night of the shooting.
 The trial judge, Hon. Samuel B. Greene,
 of the Criminal Court of Jefferson coun- ty. and Acting Solicitor Bradley, who prosecuted the case, recommended the pardon of Brockman and 1t was granted. Levi Hall white man, who was sent up from Lauderdale County in March, 1900. to serve a sentence of twenty-five months for assault with intent to rape, was paroled The pardon was issued on the recommendation of the Advisory Par doning Board The Governor endorsed on the papers statement that the mind of Hall is not bright and that he merely insulted a woman whose character was shown not to have been good The pe- titton for clemency was endorsed by large numebr of white citizens of Lauder dale County and for these reasons the pardon was issued.
 narole was issued to Bill Goss. ne- gro of Chambers County. convicted In the Circuit Court July 3. 1900. of burglary and sentenced to four years. Goss was convicted on circumstantial evidence oi stealing meat from a house. He prevf- ously bore a good character ana as the l hv Judee Denson who tried the case, as well as by many good citizens of the | county. a parole was issued.

Parliament Trying to Prorogue.

London, August 1O.-It is stili doubtful if parliament will be able to prologue on August IT. but the legislators are work ing hard with this object in view. Theo- retically the House of Commons ends the days business at midnight, but the 12 o'clock rule has been suspended, and this week the House worked till or in the morning in order to get through with the ministerial programme. In consequence It has been a most in-tempered assembly. Each hour was marked by asperity which is quite unusual T. P. O'Connor said the late hours were responsible for 1t. The violent scenes this week were also partly due to the excessive heat.

The Two-Minute Trotter.

The superb miles trotted by the sorrel
 stallion Cresceus of 202A at Cleveland and 2:02k at Columbus have set the en-

 Hamlin. the greatest breeder of trotting
 horses in the world said that the two

Hamlin has lived to see a horse of his own breeding be- come a recognized two-minute possibility, but even before the feet-footed Abbott appeared events transpired to cause the same old turfman to change his mind.
 Four years ago Star Pointer demonstrat-
 ed through the mighty bursts of speed displayed in his mile in 159A that when trotting speed had so improved that horse could carry his extreme flights through the first and second quarters of a mile, a two-minute trotter would soon result. The Abbott was the first trotter to set a new worlds mark after Star , Pointer had shaded the two-minute line, and in his performance trotted half in one minute, and quarter In 29h sec : onds. His successor. Cresceus, within a 2 week, cut full second off the record Of 2:0SA, made by the bay son of Chimes It { is claimed by the admirers and enthusi- asts that at Cleveland the track was slow, ! and ot Columbus last Friday hard wind blew through the stretch and Cresceus , could only finish the mile at 2:0S gait, 5 or the last quarter in 32 seconds.

 "I have found Peruna an ideal tonic. Some months ago suffered with neuras- thenia Systemic catarrh), caused by too close application to office work.

 Systemic catarrh always gives fair warning of it's approach, and can be easily warded off by the proper treat ment. Floating brown specks before the eyes, mental confusion, fits of nerv- ous headache, sleeplessness, flashes of heat, chilly sensations, palpitation, irri- liability, despondency; any of these symptoms or all of them should be promptly met by the use of Peruna.
