ness men at Pottsville, at which Sec
Rotary OF the Treasury Shaw delivered
an address. Mr.. Penrose, however.

No one saw Senator Quay leave the
railroad station, although 1t is known
that Senator Penroge proceeded to his
home. where he remained only q few

greeting by raising his soft felt hat

Governor Odell made this statement
to-day to President Baer, of the Read

States Senators Plat, of New York,
and Quay and Penrose, of Pennsyl-
vania
1t was thee Elimination of q rather
heated interview in the Office of Sem
atOr Plat, and the result of the first
meeting between Governor Odell and
President Baer.
Mr.. Baer was not in the best Of hui
NOR when, accompanied by E. B.
Thomas, chairman of the board Of di-
rectors of the Erie railroad, he en-
tered Senator Platt's ONCE. The con-
ference was begun by a statement
made by Senator PenroSe that the
situation was becoming SO serious that
some solution nust be found at once.
He suggested tAat the operators
should incline to some concessions
toward a settlement
Will Net Recognize Union.
IF you mean by that" said Pfesi-
dent Baer, that we are to recognize
the existence OF q labor union, I tell
you right now that the operators viii

Governor Odell was en- his feet in
an instant Holding half-burnt cigar
IN his hand, and white with excite

Baor, but | do say, and | reiterate
it, that We viii not accept political
advice or allow the interference of

Then it was that Governor Odell
made the statement attributed to him
at the beginning of this article.
President Baer, evidently apprecia-
ating that he had gone too, bowed to
Governor Odell and said:
Governor, | beg your pardon. No
personal affront was intended, and we
will listen to any suggestion you may

Severe on Senator Turner.

Chattanoc~a Times.
 The Adv t.ser wonders what this shifty demagogue will do now, seeing that his State has turned Republican and prom ises to remain so. Turner's term is out next year. Free silver in Washington is as dead it is in Connecticut. MT. Fur ner cannot return to the Senate on that platform: but he can turn his coat as he has done before. The man who stultifies his professed beliefs and principles of a lifetime. to get an office. will not be un- equal to the repuGiation of his new creed and resuming his old one. to keep the office.
 The only question in Turner's case is the practical one. Will another treason avail him? We don't believe it will Both sides would know him for what he is a mere timeserver and hypocrite, and both would give him a wide berth
 Turner is decidedly a man of ability, but the American people will not tolerate in any man such turning as he has done, more than once. They may believe his first change was honest If he attempts to retrace his steps to get a recollection from his old associates, he will be kicked and hooted on all sides as he will rich ly deserve to be.
 His career and it's ending in disappoint- ment and disgrace may serve as a warn ing to other and younger men. who are more ambitious than sincerely patriotic. Such a career as this Senator's inevitably closes under cloud of public contempt. He has been a Senator. but by means that will cause the country to remember him as a knavish renegade and schemer, and nothing else.

A Prosperous Neighbor.

AlidulA JOuTnal.
 The people of Alabama are justly proud Of the showing that their State made in the last census and the manifest evil dences of her progress since that time.
 They are just beginning to realize the vastness and variety of the sources of wealth with which nature has blessed them.
 During the decade from 1890 to 1900 a re- markable advance was made in the de- Velopment of these resources.
 The twenty-five great Alabama iron and steel companies turned out in 1900 products to the value of S7, S92, 4S3 as against $l2544,227 in 1890. Alabama has become the sixth State in iron and steel sylvania, Ohio, Illinois, New Jersey and Indiana. Alabama is fifth in pig iron production. She is one of the four States that make more than million tons a Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois. These four States contributed more than S4 per cent of the country's total iron and steel production in 1900. and their proportion of this product Is increasing steadily. Alabama is the fifth State in the amount of capital employed in this industry. Only Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and New Jersey are ahead of her in this respect.
 About $20 000, GOO is now invested in the Alabama iron and steel industry. Jeffer- son County alone, the County in which Birmingham Is located, turned out in the census year no less than 1.06l.540 tons of run. ne DldSl IuEHdCtS OI ttldt OlSITiCt employed 5.034 iron workers and paid them in wages $1. 903017.
 Alabama stands first in the production of foundry iron, exceeding Pennsylvania by 26, 73G tons at last accounts.
 Of the 399 stacks in the United States Alabama has 45 and Ohio is the only State that has a larger number. The iron and steel industry in Alabama is in fine condition and is increasing steadily With her practically unlimited stores of iron and coal Alabama has ahOut the strongest possible foundation of material wealth and power.

WORK OF FRENzIED ITALIAN.
Killed One Man and Injured Two
 Others.

New York Oct. 13-Wit.- no appartne mo- tive. Enagelo DeRigo, a shoemaker, 19 years old, shot and instantly killed AL phonso Salgrone, and fatally wounded Carmelo Salgrone. brother of the dead man. and Joseph Dirute at Rockville Gen. ter, L. I.
 DeRigo and a number of other men have been living in the rear of the shop. Ap- parently there has been no trouble be- tween any of the men.
 The boarders were sitting about the front of the shop when DeRigo suddenly came out brandishing a pistol. He shout ed something in Italian, which the men say they did not understand, and, walk ing up to where Salgrone was sitting. placed the pistol against his body and fired. The man fell from his chair dead. and the others started to escape. DeRigo in a frenzy of cage, fired four shots at the men who were running. Carmelo Sal gone and Dirute fell. Both were shot in the chest and the physicians say they probably will die.
 DeRigo tried to shoot Frank Missiano. but his pistol missed fire. He reloaded his weapon and ran through the streets of Rockville Center shouting defiance and waving his pistol. He went to Baldwins. l.. l., short distance away. where he was arrested.

MRS. KETcHUM IMPROVING.
Thrilling Accident at Mobiles Union
 Depot.
Mobile, Oct 1S.-(Special)-The condition of Mrs. George A. Ketchum is reported tonight to be much improved.

A hair-raising and probably fatal ac- cident occurred this afternoon at theUnion Depot here. Michael Casey, driver of a public hack. attempted to cross the tracks between the end of the passenger train end some coaches which were being push ed down by a switching engine to be at tached to the train. He had in his cab Mrs. Bonn, her mother and daughter. The moving coach struck the back of the cab. and as it did so Casey jumped from the vehicle The impact frightened the horse and he ran away, the cab pass. ing over the prostrate cabman and in fiicting possibly fatal injuries The occu- pants were thrown out and slightly bruised
 The runaway horse ran into another cab to which was hitched a team of horses. and the coach also struck the team, one of the horses being killed out right.
 Spectators vt had not Casey's horse took iris wher he did the three occupants ol ,,., cab would have been ground to pieces the next moment They caught the train and continued their journey to New Orleans.

ROBBERS GOT $2,ooo.
Men Who Held Up Burlington Train
 Still Pursued.

Lincoln. Neb,. Oct. 13.-The man-hunt in Southeastern Nebraska Jagged yester- day and the four highwaymen who held up the Burlington train near Lincoln early Saturday morning have seemingly distanced their pursuers. The heavy rain which fell all Saturday night and the drizzIe up to noon yesterday made the following of the trail even with blood hounds out of the question. The Buhlng- ton railroad detectives and Lincoln police men who were beating about in Cass County Saturday and that night abandon ed the search and returned here yester- day morning.
 Nothing further is known as to the amount secured in the express safe. The Adams Express Company officials will give no information, and the statement of the railroad that the sum will not ex- ceed 5000 Is generally accepted as cor rect.
 The loss to the railroad company through damage to property, derange- ment of service and expense of the chase will exceed the value of the money taken

WASTED sNEERs.

The Opelika News thus oracleS:
 Without a wonderful change between now and the time to select delegates to the next National Convention we see no reason why The Advertiser editor will be unable to head delegation from this State to that convention pledged to vote for the nomination of Cleveland and the expulsion Of Bryan ana those who sup ported him, forever, from the councils of the Party. Cievelandism appears to be ai right in Alabama just now.
 The sneering manner of The News doesn't break any bones or raise any bumps in The Advertiser office. No one connected with this paper has any am, bition to head the State delegation to a national convention, nor does any one pxpect to belong 10 a delegation bound Dy any such pledges as The News in- nictates. We do not expect to see con- Hention of Alabama Democrats selecting D delegation pledged to vote for MT. iIleyeland-'without a wonderful change" Ds The News expresses it.
 The insinuation of The News that any Delegation of Democrats will go pledged Go favor the expulsion of Bryan and Rll who supported him." is one of the DAAfAAy oLAy lAlAlI6S OuE OpGllhd COHIempO- rary gets off, whenever it talks politics. We certainly expect to see the time when what is familiarly known as "Bryanism" will be expunged from the Democratic platforms. both State and National, but If Mr. Bryan or any of his late sup porters are expelled. it will be by their own voluntary act, some of them have recently done in Connecticut.
 When The News remarks that "Cleve- landism appears to be all right in Ala hama just now," of course it intends the remark as a sheer at those Democrats who have refused to be led off from what they considered sound Democracy, although they may many of them. have so far held their preferences in abeyance as to vote for MT. Bryan in 1900. If by ''Clevelandism" it means the Democ- racy taught by that great Democrat. then we can assure 1t that 1t is kind of De- mocracy that will control the Party in Alabama before another National cam paign is fought. Let The News put that into its Bryan pipe and smoke it.

TROOPS SAVED A CLASH
CONFLICT IN INDIAN TERRI
 TORY WAS THREATENED
Rival Candidates for Governorship and Their Partisans are Bitter. Agent Schoenfeld Appealed
 for Federal Soldiers.

Washington, Oct. RIA serious conflict between partisans of rival candidates for the governorship of the Choctaw Indian nation in Indian Territory, has been averted by the presence of Federal troops according to dispatches received at the Interior Department.
 Governor Dukes, the outgoing Cover nor. who is said to be a partisan of Hun ter, one of the candidates, took charge of the Capitol building assisted by armed horsemen, and. according to Indian Agent schoenfeld. arbitrarily permitted persons to enter and sit as members of the Choc- Jaw Council upon commissions issued by himself and refused to admit members having certificates from regularly con- stituted authorities.
 Agent Schoenfeld appealed to Washing ton for troops. On their arrival the Choctaw Council was permitted to enter the building and resume its sessions.
 The official dispatches received today show that the vote of the Council for the office of Principal Chief (Governor) was counted yesterday. Green McCurtain had a majority of 6S9 and was duly sworn in. Agent Schoenfeld wires that the presence of the troops prevented a clash between contending factions and that he now an- ticipated no further trouble.
 All tut dfUleQ IIleli III llle SuOSkd" cap ital or capitol grounds have been dis armed or removed, by the troops. Cover nor Dukes made a determined fight, as shown by the following telegram he sent to the Secretary of the Interior:
 Agent Schoenfeld has ordered disarm- ing my peace officers and directing my procedure. I am proceeding strictly within our constitution and laws and the election will be settled by our Legisla- ture fairly and honestly between the con- tending factions. It will be done peace ably if Agent Schoenfeld does not go, be- yond keeping peace. My peace officers are directed to not even resent insults, but simply to stand at their post of duty and not permit my government to be overthrown. I wash my hands of fatal results that may occur if Agent Schoen- field insists on usurping any authority as chief executive"
 McCurtain also wired that by instruc- tions of Dukes, the latters armed light horsemen posted in the capitol ordered many members and Council officers from the building.
 "The horsemen," he added. "are ap- pointees and bitter partisans of Dukes, with whom Marshal Hackett and depu- ties are cooperating. It is stated that Dukes purpose is to continue these con- ditions and prevent counting of votes for chief until expiration of time fixed by law and thus continue himself in oftice."

A dispatch which we find in some of our exchanges tells of a panic which recently occurred in a negro Baptist Church at Oliver. Ga. The house was densely crowded, causing the floor to give way. and that brought on a stampede in which several were injured, but the point of the story lies in the closing para graph. which reads: Two Of the vis- itors, a man and a woman, were shot, though not seriously" Why a panic caused by a floor giving way should cause two persons to be shot is what we fail to find out Was 1t because tho frightened people were shooting for the door?"

WANT A NEW DEAL.

You can't down a lawyer-n t if he is resourceful. and no other kind stands | much show. A lawyer who depends en- tirely on the facts and the letter of the law to win his cases Is likely to get left. If he hasn't the tact and the per
 ception to take~advantage of all the
 quips and qualities of the law, and to turn circumstances to the advantage of his client, he isn't in 1t. Nor should he be put out by one fall. When a lawyer is knocked out by unexpected evidence. or by an adverse ruling, or by the ec- centric verdict that juries sometimes de- light in, he should be ready with some thing else, equally as good or better. It is the resourceful lawyer who scroes oft enest in legal games.
 A recent case in Kansas illustrates the methods which may be adopted by the legal gentleman. A man was tried on the charge of administering dose of morphine to his baby, which was only two days old. The child died. and as the evidence left no doubt as to the guilt of the unnatural father, he was convicted of murder in the second degree. Most people would think he got off light. and that his lawyers should have let the yer dict stand. but they thought differently. and have applied for a new trial They base their application on the plea that a man who wilfully administers poison and causes death is guilty of murder in the first degree, and that conviction for a lesser crime is contrary to law.
 If the man gets a new trial. it will naturally be an interesting one. The fact that his lawyers insist on having him tried for a higher crime than the one of which he was convicted is such an unusual proceeding that we cannot avoid the suspicion that they have some thing up their sleeves and the next trial, if one is granted, may cause some sur- prises. Whether the lawyers expect to prove an alibi, plead insanity, or what
 they will rely on. is not yet apparent, but
 they must have good reasons for the step, or they would not have taken it.
 and their client must have faith in the n to an unusual degree, or he would be it will be a ghastly joke on the murderer
 and his lawyers, If the next jury con- victs him of murder in the first degree
 and he gets his neck pulled out of joint
