ATTEMPTED ASSAULT.
Mrs. Porter of Shenisld the Victim
 The Negro Rolled.

Shenield. Feb 12.-(special)-Mrs M. Porter, living on the outskirts of the city, was made the victim of an attempt at criminal assault Monday night by an un- known negro. Mrs. Porter, upon going out into the rear yard of her residence, was attacked from behind by a burly negro. She imme diately engaged with him in fierce tussle, at the same time screaming for her husband. who was in the house. He rushed to the scene with his revolver, but was too late. as the me- gro. finding himself in danger fled. Sev- eral shots were fired after him in the darkness, but it Is not known whether or not any took effect. The police au- thorities were notified, and bloodhounds were put on the trail, who traced 1t from the residence to the extreme southern portion of the city. from whence it doubled and led back toward the river. and then along the river toward Furnace Hill. The hounds became frightened at the furnaces here. and could not be fore ed further. Considerable excitement Is felt. and if the criminal is caught and identified. a lynching bee seems inevit- able.

PAYMENT OF POLLS.
A Total of 2,33s in Madison
 County.

Huntsville. Feb. 12.-tSpecial.) )-Tax
 Collector Ed Gardiner has compiled the
 number of poll tax payments In Madison
 County up to ard including January 5L.
 The number of whites who paid the tax
 is 1,933. and the number Of negroes is
 405 making a total of 2,33S. It Is esti-
 mated that about fifteen hundredx men
 between 2 and 45 years of age were dis
 franchised for the coming election by
 falling to pay their polltax. and as the
 population of the county Is pretty evenly
 divided between the negroes and whites. 1t appears reasonable that about 300 nc- groes failed to pay. and that 200 white men failed. There are about POO men In the county exempt from poll taxes and fully 1,2Oo over age, thus making the possible white votes about $500.
 May Buttrey & Cooney have secured Judgment in the Circuit Court against w. R. Steele, manager of the Huntsville Hotel for damages to their stock caused by an overflow bath tub in one of thu | hotel rooms above their store.

 were presented by this suit in fixing the responsibility upon the guest of the hotel | or the hotel management. w. c. Thompson. merchant or Hart l selle has filed a petition in bankruptcy | Thompson's liabilities are $5,075 and his assets are $4S50.

POPULAR MABEL PAIGE.
She Continues to Please Large Audi
 ences at McDonald's.

The popularity of Mabel Paige in Mont- gomery was again evidenced by the large audience that witnessed the performance at McDonald's. The winsome little ac- tress has a wide circle of admirers in the city and the number Is increased every time that she plays an engagement in the city. In girlish roles, Miss Paige has no equal in repertoire companies. Her work Is marked by an especial refinement that Is at once winning and attractive. Her audience last night was an appreciative one and applause was frequent enough to be almost constant.
 The bill was dramatization of Ouida's famous novel. Under Two Flags" In the play the company showed up to good advantage and the audience was un- doubtedly we'll pleased. In the role of Cigarette. Miss Paige made a decided hit. The Bertie of Henry Willard was altogether satisfactory bit of work. and the other members of the company did we'll. The specialties of the company are decidedly good.
