rear. This movement was promptly executed and the victory won. Tho Indians made a precipitate retreat across the Ohio River. Never did men exhibit more courage in making a charge and more fortltude in resisting an onset than did these undisciplined soldiers of the forest on the field of Point. .sRleasant, and ' the names of Mathews, Shelby and Stewart are em- blazoned on the roll of fame. An in- teresting and marvellous incident oc- cured in connection with the battle of Point Pleasant recorded in the his tory of Virginia, which runneth thus: "kklittlei girl the daughter of Captain John and Agatha Frog, and grand daughter of Colonel Thomas Lewis was sleeping spear her mother on the day the battle was fought and awoke screaming, the Indians have killed my fatheESh Her mother sootheo her to sleep again, and she had the same dis tressful vision. The dream was re- peated the third time and child's grief was beyond control. The mothers s imagination presented the horrible spectacle of the scalping of her hus- band by the Indians and their cries drew together her neighbors who blend- ed their lamentations with them. It 50 NudppeHeO ludI lHc OdtllS OI IHS Point was fought on the day that all Staunton was so much aroused, and Captain John Frog was actually killed. In this day of advanced thought this incident would doubtless be attributed to hypnotic or physiological infiu- ences. Truly i've are fearfully and wonderfully made" This incident has also romantic phase. Captain Stewart, was a special friend of Cap tain Frog and this combined with his distinguished services and the pathetic event which connected the widow Frog with this famous battle created 8 warm sympathy between them which ripened into love, and they were hap. oily married. From this union sprung a number of prominent men of Vir- ginia who bear this honored name and the eminent patriotism of Captain Stewart, subsequently, promoted to col- onel in the Continental line has been perpetuated by his noble descendant, General J. D. B.. Stewart, the gall lant officer of the Confederate army. A glorious illustration of the heredity of patriotism.

Demopolis, June 15.-(SpeciaD-By a clever piece of work, Marshal Monnier and Mir. Boggers succeeded yesterday in capturing the professional cracks man Whr blew open the. postoffice. in Marion. The conductor Son the west bound freight train took on board at Cottonwood tonk near Faunsdale, a passenger who had very suspicious look. He was pockmarked and bore the descrintion of the man seen In UnionloYp 1he conductor telegraphed Agen# $: k Hingson of this place to have An officer meet the train. Mar shal tonnier had on his uniform and as afraid If the man saw him he would skip before they could secure sufficient evidence to arrest him. So he got Mir. B)ggers to go on the train and shadow ths suspect to Meridian, where he was arrested. A quantity of dy- namite. nitro-glycerine and burglars tools were found lon hipa. He also had SIS in dimes and $14 fin nickele. MT. Boggers took tho prisoner to Marion.
 The question that has been agitating the public mind in this place during the past few weeks has been that Of establishing a free school system. The sentiment has ahout crystalized and it is positively decided that the sys- tenn will be inauRurated for the conn ing season. Tho large and handsome building that has been heretofore used as a boys school will be remodeled and refitted and the public school will occupy 1t. The large buildings now used as a female school will be rented. either for private school or a family boarding house, being splencidly adapt ed for either of these purposes.

 Resolved, That The Montgomery Field Artillery bow with submission. but deeply lament our loss. He was truly the pride of Alabama; his life was an open book. and as beautiful as the flowers of the field. His breast even had a window in it, open for the in- spection of all the world. and yet had never exhibited a cowardiy thought or a dishonoratle sentiment. He died in the belief that he had, been too, greatly praised. Such Is the holy simplicity of the nobTest minds, such as was the pure and lofty man, in whom we see the perfect union of Christian virtue and old Roman manhood. His good ness made us a1r love him; his gentle but chiyalric, spirit inspired us, and we will venerate his memory so long as we survive. Resolved, That the Armory shall be draped in mourning thirty days. and that 8 page of the minutes or the Bat tery be appropriately inscribed to his memory.

Question of Electing Members of the
 Railroad Commission.
 Florence, June 15.-(SpeciaL)-A meeting of citizens was held at the city hall Thursday night by the busi- ness men and manufacturers, which was presided over by Acting Mayor R.. L. Bliss, to discuss the question of electing the Railroad Commissioners of the State by the people, instead of their being appointed, as at present. Messrs Leach and Wood of Birmingham met with them and made talks in favor of petitioning the convention now in ses- sion to regulate the matter. A resolu- ton was passed favoring change from the present system, whereby the people shipping may have better service, and preventing extortion in rates and un- just discrimination of one city over an other. A committee of seven was ap- pointed to petition the Constitutional Convention and embody these views. The following were appointed: c. H. Smith, c. M. Southall, M. Reisman, A. P. Smith Dr. A. D. Bellamy, E. Ash craft, Percy Jones.
 W. M. Holleman died at Jackson He was a native of Lauderdale County, but had long resided in Tennessee. He leaves a wife and five children.

SHELLEY COUNTY BANK.
Friends of Burgess Little Defend Hi

Course.
 Montevallo, June -(special) )--so much has been said and written con. cerning the failure of the Shelby Couns ty Bank that your correspondent has endeavored to get an impartial state- ment of the whole affair.
 The friends of Burgess Little say that he Is guilty of no wrong doing, and in support of this position, 1t is contended that Mir. Little and the President and sole owner of the bank, Mir. William Walker of Blocton, promptly turned over all the books, papers and assets of the bank to a committee appointed by the depositors, and they attended all the meetings of this committee when called on and did everything in their power to assist this committee in ar. irving at the true statement of affairs. They also claim that Mir. Little remain ed in Montevallo for ten days after the failure, and, having nothing to do. ap- piled for a position as clerk in sum- mer hotel in Tennessee, where he went last week. While on his way, he was arrested on a warrant sworn out by a depositor here and detained for several days, being finally released on habeas corpus proceedings.
 His friends also claim that the assets of the bank figure up over $22,000, and | the liabilities a little over $23,000, mak- | Ing a dsficit of about $1,000. This state ment seems to be borne out by an ex- animation of the banks books, and the statement of the receiver that the de- | positors will get over 50 cents on the dollar. They also say they have no doubt that some of the assets will not
 bring dollar for dollar. but claim that | this is no evidence of criminality, on the part of MT. Little but bad judg- ment in making loans.
 On the other hand, many of the de- I posItors claim that false representa- tions were made by MT. Little of the | banks condition, in. that the published l statement of the bank showed capi. tai stock of $25, ,000 while 1t was actu-
 ally not over $5,00O. Some of the de. positors also claim that at the time of making their deposits it was represent ed to them that various citizens here were stockholders to a large extent, and that the bank was in a healthy condition. They also say that Mir. Lit ties account was largely overdrawn, and that he was extravagant and wastefuI of the banks resources, which, | it appears, were only the deposits made
 by Its patrons.
 Taken altogether, this failure is an object lesson for the members of the Constitutional Convention, and if they
 wish to perform a lasting service for
 the people of the State at large. they will incorporate in the Constitution some provision requiring private banks
 to make sworn statements. and, If nee- essary, have an examiner to visit them at least once a year and report on their | condition. Srould a law of this kind | have been in effect, much money and great annoyance to all persons con- cerned would have been saved here. as
 well as at other places over the State in | the past. ot

WRONG CONCLUSION.

Booker Washington, the negro of
much learning and pulled up vanity
says all lynchers are anarchists. He
doesn't know what he is talking about.
The incentive is entirely different. An
anarchist who shoots president with
out cause, and those who lynch brute
of negro for raping and despoiling a
pure, helpless white weman, and ruin
ing her fol life, have no comparison in
fact. What is negro rapist but an an
archist of the most devilish kind? To
rape pure woman is worse than kill
ing the president, and the latter crime
is damnable outrage that invites the
most severe penalty of the law.

SIX HUSBANDS IN SIX YEARS.

The Spanish journals relate the
perhaps unparalleled matrimonial
experiences of young Spanish
woman named Isabella Corporal,
who, in six years, has lost by
death six husbands and now awaits
in modest patience her wedding day
with seventh, says the Baltimore
Sun. lii 1894 Senorita Isabel,
then young girl of p, migrated
to New Orleans and soon married
a theatrical manager named Free
man, who died in few months
from yellow fever during star
ring tour. In order the better to
conduct the company his widow.
after few weeks, married one of
the actors, Spanlard named
Hany, who was fatally stabbed on
their wedding night while trying
to mediate III brawl iii the board
ing house. Three weeks later an
other of the actors led her blush
ing to the altar. He was Mexl-
can named Lopez, with whom the
offended laws of his country had
a crow to pluck. Arrested, he
sought escape by leaping from
train, was killed, and for the third
time in twelve months poor Isabel
became widow. Very soon, how
ever. a fourth husband came along.
He was an Americall,,. named
knight, but the Cuban war con-
signed him to an untimely grave
and Isabel to the arms of a fifth
husband in the person of a South
Carolina lumber merchant, who
was killed among his own timber.
About the sixth husband there are
not many details, but he met his
end untimely, like his predeces-
sors-in steamboat accident.
Standing, like Niobe, "all tears, :"
Isabel is for the moment, a widow
for the sixth time. But she is
young, possesses a small dowry,
and business man of Charleston,
greatly daring, has implored her
to name the seventh wedding day.
