SOUTHERN SECURITIES
COMPANY TO MEET
Louisville G. Nashville and Southern

Merger.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 21.-The
Courier-Journal tomorrow will say:
THAT ]. p. Morgan & Co. have not
abandoned the idea of forming the
Southern Securities company, as soon
as the Northern Securities company is
held to be a valid corporation, is be-
lieved to be strongly indicated in the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad COM
pany's acceptance of the provisions of
the present constitution of Kentucky,
in paper filed in the Office of the Sec
retary of state at Frankfort.
For ten years and nearly ten months
the Louisville g. Nashville, operating
under a charter granted in the early
fifties, has refused to take this step,
being one of the few corporations
which has persisted in it's refusal; and
now it's changed front, so soon after
it's control has passed from the Bel
monts and Rothschilds to the banking
firm of ]. p. Morgan & Co., is taken as
an admission that the discussed
merger with the Southern Railway is
one of the certainties of the future"

Upon This Post
OTHER POINTS in THE
NOhrHWEST BENEFITED
improvements to Be Made at Various
Forts in the Dakotas, Iowa, Montana
and Washington State-Plans and
Specifications for Necessary Work
to Be Prepared Immediately.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 20.-A
board of officers was appointed several
weeks ago by the secretary of war to
take into consideration the question of
provision to be made for accommoda-
tionS and shelter for troops returned
from Cuba and the Philippine islands,
and to consider generally the construc-
ton of new buildings at posts through
out the United States to accommodate
increased garrisons to be stationed
thereat. The board submitted its final
report to the secretary of war, who has
approved the recommendations sub
mitted by it, The amounts given are
those estimated to complete the con-
struction of the various works, and
while the allotments are made from the
current appropriations, it is not eX-
pected that the full amounts will be
expended in all cases during the fiscal
year. The allotments include the fol-
lowing:
new post for a battalion of infan-
try at HaineS Mission, Alaska, $3.50, 900.
Three new posts, each to accommo-
date two companies, coast artillery, at
Fort Werden and Fort Casey, Wash,
at the entrance to Puget Sound, and
Fort ROsecranZ, near San Diego, Cal,
$4,000 each.
Enlargement of Fort Lincoln, near
Bismarck, N. D., to accommodate two
companies infantry, 100000.
Enlargement of Fort eMade, South
Dakota, to accommodate headquarters
and two SquadrOnS of cavalry, $50, 600.
Necessary repair to be made at Fort
Harrison, Montana, to make accom-
modatiOns at that post for a battalion
of infantry $4,000.
To begin the reconstruction and i'm
provement of Fort Smelling, Minnesota,
to make provision at that post for the
accommodation of a full regiment of
infantry and two batteries field artil-
lery, $250,000.
To complete post at Des Moines to
accommodate four troops of cavalry,
$4,000.
To enlarge Fort Lawton, Washing
ton, to accommodate headquarters and
one battalion infantry, 100000.
To enlarge Fort Wright, Washing
ton, to accommodate one battalion in
fantry, $4,000.
To enlarge Vancouver barracks,
Washington, to accommodate one full
regiment infantry and two battalions
artillery, $4,000.
The boad also took into considera-
ton the construction of necessary
buildings at many of the coast artillery
posts on the Atlantic seaboard, on the
gun anu cll Tic IlOulu VI lnS Columbia
river, and of some of the inland posts
for cavalry and artillery, where addi-
tional buildings are needed to accom-
modate the increased garrisons.
1t has been decided to proceed at
once with the preparation of plans and
specifications for the necessary build
ings at the new posts and at the posts
to be enlarged and to invite bids for
their construction, but it is contem-
plated to place only a part of the work
at other places under contract at pres
ent to avoid the large congestion which
would result by throwing too much
work on the market at many Of these
places at once.

TRIED FOR MARQUIS
DE MORES' MURDER
Authors of Tragedy Of Six Years Ago
in the Soudan Called to
Account.

TUNIS, July 21.-At Susa, near here,
the trial of the murderers of the Mar
quiS De MoreS, who married daugh~
ter of L. Won Hoffman, the banker, of
New York, and who at one time con-
Quoted a large ranch in North DAKOTA,
opened today. Three or the assassins
were arrasted in August, 1898. One of
them, named HANNA Ben Youssef, has
since died. The remaining two, FL
Kheir and HANNA Chiekh, were in the
prisoners dock toda|.
The Marquis De MoreS was killed in
1896 in the Soudan, where it has been
asserted that he had gone to enlist
the Arabians against the British. He
and his party were attacked by band
of tribesmen and nearly all the party
were killed. The journey of the mar
quis, it is officially stated, was part
of his plan to extend French commerce
by diVerting the route of the caravans
from Tripoli to Gabes.
Seventeen accomplices belonging to
the Toureg tribe are still uncaptured.
HANNA Chiekh and Ben Youssef, be-
fore the latter's death, admitted taxi
ing part in the murder, but accused FL
Kheir of being the instigator Of the
crime and the actual murderer. The
widow of the Marquis De Mores, whose
perseverance led to a thorough inveS-
tigation of the affair, has been at Susa
for the last three days awaiting the
trial. She offered a reward of 5000
francs for the arrNst of the principal
assassins. The widow blames the gov
ernment for not taking proper meas
ures for the safety of the marquis,
which she asserts was tantamount to
inviting the massacre of his party.
At the opening of the proceedings
Ell Kheir denied his guilt and thanked
the court for being tried by Frenchmen.
He spoke and gesticulated with such
vigor that those in court who did not
understand Arabic thought he was in a
fury. The trial is expected to last a
week. Both prisoners rose and saluted
the widow in military fashion when she
entered the court room. Ell Kheir is
a tall, we'll built Arab. with energetic
features. He evinced no anxiety.
HANNA Chiekh, younger and smaller
man, appeared very uneasy.

CIRCUS TEAMSTER SHOT
AND KILLED BY MISTAKE
Murderer Is Nearly Lynched by the
Circus Attendants.

BUFFALO, N. Y, July 21.-Lee
Bruce, teamster employed by Fore
paugh and Sells Bros, was shot and
killed today just as the afternoon
crowd was leaving the circus tent.
Dennis Bowen, a watchman, is under
arrest charged with having fired the
shot, and narrowly escaped being
lynched by the circus attendants.
1t is said that Bowen intended the
shot for y. K. Shumate, superintend-
ent Of horses, who had reprimanded
him short time before. Three shots
were fired, two of them going close to
Shumate and the third striking Bruce
in the head, killing him instantly. Two
local detectives seized Bowen, but he
was torn away from them by the cir
Gus men. One of the crowd seized a
rope and tied it around Bowen's neck.
The detectives, reinforced by half a
dozen policeman, succeeded in getting
Bowen away from the crowd but not
until he had been terribly beaten and
kicked.

SALTWATER, Mimi, July 21.-
Loggers who have returned from the
vicinity of Gordon, Wis, say that there
is a suspicion among residents of that
locality that Harry Tracy, the Oregon
outlaw, who has successfully eluded
his pursuers since his escape from the
Oregon penitentiary, can clear up the
mystery surrounding the murder Of
Joe Blackburn, about twelve miles
from Gordon, about four years ago.
Blackburn Had Money.
Blackburn lived at the mouth Of the
Oonce, one of the tributaries of the st.
Croix, and in various ways had amass-
ed considerable money. Friends fire.
quently cautioned him about carrying
large sums of money with him and told
him that he ought not to live alone,
but Blackburn was brave and was en-
tirely oblivious to danger.
He didn't heed the counsel Of friends
and one day his dead body was found
between the barn and the house, his
skull having been crushed by an AK,
the blow having come from behind.
The authorities made fruitless ef-
forts to locate the murderer or mur-
derers, and the presumption now is
strong that 1t was the work Of Harry
Tracy, who lived near Gordon and dis
appeared from there at about the time
the murder was committed.
Tracy's right name was Severance
and he had lived in that part Of Wis
consin for many years.
Tracy Disappears.
Loggers, who were speaking about
the affair yesterday, say there Is moth
ing by which the crime can be traced
direct to Tracy, and the only reason
his name Is connected with it at all Is
that he disappeared from Gordon at
about the time the crime was commit
ted and was a desperate fellow.
There is little question but that the
murder was committed for the purpose
of robbery, for two of Blackburn's
wallets were found later near the house
and both were empty.

GREAT GAME THIS AFTERNOON.
News and Age-HeraId Will StartIe the
 Baseball World.

In the News of yesterday there appear ed a very 'inflammatory article which notified the expectant Birmingham public that a game of baseball will be played today between The Age-Herald and the News. The publication of this article so excited the fans that arrangements were immediately made for a torchlight process sion and a general jollification meeting.
 As stated in the News the first of this series of games was played during the early days of last summer and resulted in favor of the afternoon twirlers by the overwhelming score of 156 to l55 after ten innings of exciting playing. The scorers got tangled up and have never been seen since that memorable contest. After l. months of recuperation the teams are again feeling in condition and if the Age Herald wins this afternoon the third game will be played In 1903
 The personnel of the two teams Is kept a profound secret and some great sur prises are expected. On account of the scrambel for tickets 1t has been decided to open the park gates and let the bowling mob fight for seats. The spectators are assured that the game will be stopped in time to let the morning men begin work on the next days paper. The uni forms of both teams will consist of shirts. trousers, stockings and shoes and either hats or caps.
