Armstrong; Station Burned.

Armstrong; station, on the silver
lake road three quarters of mile from
Hams station, was destroyed by fire
on Thursday of last week. The place
was owned by w. II. Ryan of Pine
Grove. Mr.. Ryan and family make
their winter home at Pine Grove. The
past winter young man named Blize
has lived at the station. On the day
of the fire, Blize was out hunting and
fishing, and on his return in the even
ing found the house heap of smolder-
ing ruins. The barn and other out
buildings were saved. The place was
insured for $500. 1t is not probable
that the house will be rebuilt. The
agent went up Wednesday to adjust
the loss.

In Memoriam,

When death invades the home of the
warrior with bowed form and tottering
step, who in his country's name has
risked his life until the infirmaties of
age placed him on the retired list;
when it calls the aged civilian who in
paths of peace has devoted long
career to the public weal when it
beckons those who in other fields as
vital for the benefit of mankind, have
welded the pen, the plow, the pick, or
other instrument of their craft, rela-
tives, friends and admirers find conso-
Iation in their sorrow in the fact that
the allotted existence on this sphere
having been vouchsafed their loved
ones, they had laid down their cares
and passed away; but when the sum-
mons came to Mamie Tam, to whom
life was just opening its portals intro
ducing the future with all its pleasant
anticipatiOns, picturing scenes of happi-
ness and fields of useful labor, and
promising loving mother and fond
father a fruition of their hopes and
aspirations, the death to those left
behind appears cruel and terrible, and
carries in its sOmbre train unfathoma BILE
grief, which the deepest sympathy of
friends and strongest influences of love
can only assuage as time in it's flight
disseminates the healing balm provided
by an all-wise Father.
Consolation is found in this sad hour
for parents, relatives and friends, in
holy teachings as we'll as in remem-
brances of the past connected with the
departed one.
Memory will fondly dwell on her
many virtues and recall that sweet dis
position and cheering smile which in
her home with mother, father, brothers
and sister, and in the circle of her
friends and playmates, brought joy to
all.
Then to, as great author has said,
when the innocent and young are
stricken down, for every fragile form
from which the spirit has been freed,
a hundred virtues rise in shapes of
mercy, charity and love, to walk the
earth and bless its dwellers.
Safe from the wintry blast and un-
mindful of summers kiss, she now sees,
knows and loves, as the blessed only
see, know and love in Paradise, while
to the living is left the heritage of
life replete with deeds from which good
in Gods way will come.
A FRIEND.

MINING NEWS.

MITCHELL.-The new mill-for such
it will be practically-is being con-
structed with all possible speed. j..
Chase has charge of the work. He is
an experienced man in such work, and
will no doubt uphold his reputation in
this job. No underground work is
being done in the mine, beyond keep
ing the mine free of water.
SOUTH SPRING HILL.-This mine
has recently changed hands. Mr..
Kelly, prominent stockholder of the
old company, having secured control
ing interest. The mill has temporarily
suspended operations. The company is
to be reorganized, and the mine pro-
vlded with suitable equipment to
handle and mill the large quantities of
ore recently developed. When this is
accomplished, the South Spring Hill
will take rank again as one of the best
paying mines on the lode. This news
will be hailed with joy by the residents
OF Amador and vicinity. A mistaken
policy of economy has retarded this
promising property for years. The
superintendent, John r. Tregloau.
who has had charge ever since it was
started, has protested in vain against
this policy. At one time it stood at the
head of the list of bullion producers in
the county, and the value of the mine
was. placed at two million dollars.
PLYMOUTH DIsTRIcT.-Ballard g.
Martin have bonded tract of land
north of the Bay State mine to Hay-
ward & Lane for mining purposes. The
tract embraces 160 acres, and takes in
about mile of the lode line. Some
eight men are at work on the property,
with the object of selecting the most
suitable spot for sinking shaft.
ONEIDA from this mine
have not been of fattering character
OF late. There are large bodies of ore,
but OF too low grade to work with
profit. Forty of the sixty stamps are
In operation, and the working force has
been considerably reduced owing to
the hanging up of 20 stamps.

Sunday evening the peculiar move
rnents of man around Ginocchio's
store gave color to the belief that an
attempt to burglarize the premises was
being made. Sheriff Gregory was mott
fed, and made an investigation, but
could find nothing that would tend to
confirm the burglary theory. R. An
COVE and Mrs. Ginocchio both saw the
stranger about the place. He was
noticed on the front balcony particular
ly. There was lodge meeting in the
Masonic hall across the street from the
store, and it may have been motives of
curiosity to pry into the doings of the
Druid order that impelled the man to
invade the Ginocchio building. Nothing
was missed from the premises, and
nothing seems to have been moved out
of place.

Rainfall.

The rainfall last Monday night and
Tuesday measured 1.2S inches, making
total of 2S.45 inches for the season,
against 3l.24 for the same period last
year. The heavy downpour this week
will prove very beneficial to the grain
crops, especially to the east of the
mineral belt. Some volunteer hay has
been cut, and will be damaged some.
The grain crops around here are re-
markably healthy. The prospect for
an abundant yield continues excellent.

Inflicted Serious Injuries.

A serious affair occurred in Plymouth
on Saturday last, at the store of Rosen-
wald & Kahn. A man named j. Man
ley was there from short distance in
the country, having some butter which
he wanted to dispose of. 1t seems one
of the employees negotiated for the pro-
duct at certain price, 35 cents per
pound, it is reported, which Abe
Baumgart. the manager, was not
willing to allow, he fixing the price at
several cents lower. Angry words fol-
lowed between the men, both being in
an excited state, making for the front
door. AS Manley was about to step
out, Baumgart seized baseball club,
which hung in the doorway, and struck
Manley over the side of the head, in
flicting serious injury. The wounded
man bled freely from nostrils and ears.
DR.. Tiffany was called, and the case
wore critical aspect for a while. The
outer skull at least was fractured, and
itwas thought Monday that he would
die. The district attorney went over
Tuesday to take Manley's statement.
He found him considerably improved,
ane the chances now are in favor of his
recovery. The medical attendant says
the ear-drum is broken, which will
Interfere with his hearing for life, and
otherwise he is not entirely out OF
danger, Baumgart was arrested on
charge of assault with a deadly
weapon. His bail was fixed at $1,000,
and he promptly gave bonds in that
amount. The preliminary examina-
tion has not taken place yet.

GOING TO IDENTIFY
 ALLEGED SWINDLERS
Two Men Held at Meridian Who Are Said to Have Obtained Over $200
 Under False Pretenses.

W. M. Carlisle, of Chalkville. passed through Birmingham last night en route to Meridian, Miss, to identify the two men held there who are accused of ob- taining money under false pretenses by representing themselves to be agents of Sears, Roebuck and Company of Chicago.
 MT. Carlisle says he bought machine from the men for s15 and a neighbor, MT O. Newman, purchased wagon. neither of which he says have ever been deliver ed. Several days ago the representative sent South by Sears, Roebuck and Com pany telegraphed Chief Austin for wit ness to identify the men. and MT. Carlisle goes in answer to the telegram
 According to MT. Carlisle. the two men robbed the people In the neighborhood of Leeds of more than $2OO, even seeing the justice of the peace there and selling him something.
 Forty or fifty persons in the community have been summoned before the Jefferson County grand jury to testify against the men when they are returned to Birming- ham, which will probably be today or to- morrow. They are held in Meridian by the officials awaiting reQuisition papers.

Ethel Barrymore.

It is natural that young women who are ambitious to become actresses should be curious concerning Ethel Barrymore and how she reached the prominent posi- ton she holds today as the star of Cap tain links" at the Jefferson Theatre to- morrow night Chatting on the subject the other day, Miss Barrymore said: T was educated in the convent in Philadel- phia, just as any girl might have been educated without regard to going on the stage. I have been familiar with the life always, and expected to become an ac- tress, and I suppose 1t has always been expected of me. l went on the stage when I was 15 and learned what I know of acting by experience I suppose that is the only way to learn. The only way prepare for future work Is by always do- ing my part as well as l can. l am not looking forward to any special kind of work, but taking whatever Is given me to do. There does not seem to be any thing else to do.'
 And have you no special ambitions for the future? To take up tragedy, for in- stance?"
 "No,' she answered, 'I don't wish to become a tragedienne. am not studying Shakespeare to be able to play Shakes pearean parts. only read Shakespeare as Iiterature.'

HAND IN POCKET
 BLUFFED CROWD
MAN SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN SLUG HOFFMAN LOOKED DAM eERous, AND NONE DARED MoLEsT HIM.

A brakeman on the A. c. s. freight train which reached Birmingham last night from Chattanooga tells of dan gerous customer who he says, bluffed out the crowd and an officer at Springville.
 According to his story a man answering the description of Snug Hoffman, who is said to have killed United States Deputy Marshal Holzenback at Bosz January Il, boarded the train at Attalla, and the marshal there telegraphed to Spring vile a description of the man and re- ouested the marshal there to arrest him. When the train reached Springville man answering the description got on the train and went to a water bucket nearby and took drink of water.
 No move was made to arrest him as he kept his right hand in the pocket of his overcoat and no one knew what that pocket held He drank the water with the left hand and was careful not to ai- low any one to come near him. No one offered to arrest him, or even to speak to him, and when the train pulled out of Springville towards Birmingham he boarded 1t again and came part of the way to the city.
 It is not known where he got off the train. The marshal of Attalla believes it was Hoffman, who is thought to be in the neighborhood.
