of two of his mules, by fall through an unsafe bridge.
 The accident, out of which grew the suit. occurred last February at the bridge on the Upper Wetumpka Road. three miles from the city. This bridge was rendered dangerous. by the high water and it is said sign warning all who passed along the road that 1t was in an unsafe condition was nailed up. The entrance to the bridge. however, was not barred Two wagons loaded with brick belonging to Prince Ross came to the bridge before the water had subsided and before the bridge had been made safe. The driver of the first wagon attempted to guide his team across but the animals had scarcely set foot upon the bridge before 1t swung away from its fastenings and pitched to the bottom of the deep ravine carrying the wagon and mules with 1t. The mules were killed instantly by the fall
 Ross attempted to collect from the Board of Revenue, but the members voted not to pay his claim, because his driver had started his team across the bridge regardless of the fact that a danger sign was nailed to the entrance and in spite of the fact that a negro stood by and told them the bridge was unsafe
 When his claim was denied by the Board of Revenue. suit was filed in the City Court to recover $200 for the loss of the mules The jury reduced the amount to s100. .t

Judge Jones then sentenced Pitcher to ninety days in jail at Dothan and to pay fine of s2OO and $55 additional, this being twice the amount of whiskey tax involved.

He had been man of prosperity. but the case had cost him everything he had in the world and had impaired his health. He has a wife and four children. Mir Farmer said. who are dependent upon his daily labor. A doctor had given certificate that confinement might cause his death.
 In view of these circumstances Mr. Far mer asked the court to suspend the exc cuton of the jail sentence until the win ter in order that the cooler temperature would not make his confinement so trying on his physical condition.

Worth. who rs years before had cut
the painting from its frame in the
Agnew galleries In London.

authorities would demand a custom
duty on the work which had been
secreted in this country for Is years

Gainsborough picture. His first plan
was to rob the Royal academy Of its
art treasures. Then be changed his
mind and directed his attendtion to the
Gainsborough painting Assisted by
his partner. he climbed into the Agnew
gallery one night, cut the painting
from its canvas and carried ii away.
Worth owned steam yacht and the
canvas was taken aboard and conceal
ed there until he sold the vessel to
Lord Lousdale. Then he took the pic,
ture 10 Paris and finally brought 1t 10
America, where IL was concealed for
Is years. In the meantime Worth was
arrested In Brussels and forced &c

and Worth said he was going to die
and wanted To turn up" the Gains

FLORENCE.
I. K. Edens lnVents New Instrument
 for Foreteling Weather.

Florence, June g. - Especially = H. K. Edens, photographer of this city, has recently had copyrighted an astro-baro- metric rule for scientifically ani mathe- radically foretelling the weather. This barometer is the result of new astro- nomical discovery, and MT. Edens was re- IT arkably successful in his predictions for May and prophesied great disaster for lhe date of the Martinique disturbance. He says that 90 per cent of his forecasts have come true. For the month of June he foretells violent storms and perhaps a tornado soon after the 9th, when the rev moon comes within one minute of the position 1t occupied nineteen years ago when there was violent tornado. During the remainder of June the weather will be variable hot and sultry, with lack of moisture in many sections. MT. Edens' reading is figured out by specially pre- pared tables, and will, by simple inspec- tion, warn the observer of coming changes.
