 J. A. Altman of the Butler plant of the Standard Steel Car company of Pitts burg. has arrived in the city and is act ing district manager for the local plant of the Southern Car and Foundry com pany, succeeding J. H. Harden, who re- gently resigned. Many Improvements in the Anniston plant are being contem- plated, and next years business Is ex- pected to be greater than any previous year.
 Something that begins to point towards the Seaboard coming Into Anniston is the fact that line has been surveyed and posts are set all along the proposed route. A party of six surveyors have run line within one and a half miles of the city and they say they are employed by the Seaboard. The line leaves the main line of the old East and West rail- road at Prices station, six miles north of Jacksonville and runs into Anniston running parallel with the Mobile division of the Southern being on the east side of the road
 Horace Adams, bookkeeper for Whet- stone x Co, made a very lucky find while eating oysters in a Birmingham restaurant few days since MT. Adams was enjoying repast of oysters on half shell and found a large pearl in one of the oysters on the shell. Thinking there might be two pearls in the shell he looked little closer and found to his amaze ment seventeen pearls in the oyster and on the shell. Some of the pearls are as large as a grain of corn. Mir Adams has the pearls and has shown them to a number of friends. He has not yet had them examined and does not know how valuable his discovery will prove to be, put as some of the pearls are very clear and pretty 1t is doubtless a rich find

NOBODY IS EXEMPT.
A New Preparation Which Everyone
 Will Need Sooner or Later.

Almost everybody's digestion is dsor- dered more or less, and the commonest thing they do for it is to take some one of the many so-called blood purifiers, which In many eases are merely strong catharties. Such things are not needed. If the organs are in a clogged condition they need only a little help and they will right themselves. Cathartics irri- tate the sensitive Things of the stomach and bowels and often do more harm than good.
 Purging is not what is needed. The thing to do Is to put the food in condi- tion to be treated readily digested and assimilated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this perfectly. They partly digest what is eaten and give the stomach just the help it needs. They stimulate the secretion and excretion of the digestive fluids and relieve the congested condition of the glands and membranes. They put the whole digestive system in condition to do its york When that is done you need take no more tablets, unless you eat what does not agree with you. Then take one or two tablets-give them needed help and you will have no trouble.
 It's @ commonSense medicine and a commonsense treatment and 1t will cure every time. Not only cure the disease but cure the cause. Goes about 1t in perfectly sensible and scientific way.
 We have testimonials enough to All book, but we don't publish many of them. However, Mrs. E. M Faith of Byrd's Creek, Wis, says:
 "I have taken all the Tablets I got of you and they have done their work well in my case. for feel like different person altogether. I don't doubt if had not got them I should have been at rest by this time.''
 H. B. Willard, Anslaw, Ia, says: MT. White of Canton was telling me of your Dyspepsia Tablets curing him of Dyspep- sia from which he suffered for eight years. As I am a sufferer myself I wish you to send me a package by return mail''
 H. D. Willard, Ia., says: "Mr. White, of Canton, was telling me of your Dys- pepsia Tablets curing him of Dyspepsia from which he suffered for eight years As I am a sufferer myself I wish you to send me package by return mail"
 Phil Brooks, Detroit, Mich, says: Your Dyspepsia cure has worked won ders in my case. I suffered for years from dyspepsia but am now entirely cured and enjoy life as I never have before. I gladly recommend them"
 It will cost 50c. to find out just how much Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will help you. Try them-thats the best way to decide.

MORGAN PAYS HIS RESPECTS
 TO THOSE WHO CRITICISE HIM
Continued from First Paee)

glance to this governI~ ent and share in the blessings of it's laws and the pro- lection of its powers.
 This is as far as l have gone, except to inquire into the fitness of the Philip pines for these purposes.
 The race or tribe of Negcrates are the aboriginal inhabitants of the Philippine archipelago, as Lney are of Africa, south of the equator. They are still there, in large numbers, and have been enslaved by Malays and Arabs, until the United States annexed the islands, and even since then I believe that country will give to the negro race a sky that Is not an arch of cross, under which they can grow, in peace, to the measure of their highest aspirations, and I am not loath that they should have that opportunity.
 If am mistaken in this belief, the ne- groes will be among the first to detect the error and they will not move to that country If they choose to go there, they have the means to support the move ment and will astonish some of our statesmen with the rapidity of the exo- dus. I am not, in any way, committed either to the encouragement or the re- straint of such a movement
 In the consideration of that feature of the situation my unfalling guide must be the industrial and social welfare of the people of the south, as the first and fore most question I will not vote to aid such a movement if 1t Is the means of seri- ously disturbing our prosperity; and I will not vote to restrain it in order to make permanent the unhappy relations that now exist between certain large classes of both races
 It is scarcely probable that I will ever be called upon to vote in the senate upon any branch of this subject. If I am, I will wait until that time arrives to de- clare my position as to the best and saf- est plan to perform that duty.
 In the meantime, l hope to be spared from criticism for opinions that are im- puted to me, which I do not entertain.
 Very respectfully,
 JOHN T. MORGAN.

the assault could not 'impede or intimi- date or influence the commissioner so far as the case was concerned in any way.
 Judge Jones reserved his decision on the demurrer which he rendered today and sent up. He sustains the demurrer and declares the defendant must go free. He eoncurs in the view that relating to a past transaction the assault would not come within the contempt power of the federal statute, but the offense must be left to the state courts. However, he more than intimates that Randolphs act does not bring him within the contempt power of the District court, and says he will take that matter up later He has examined into the contempt feature of the case at length and finds cases pat to the issue here. notably one in which the Virginia Court of appeals expressly laid down the power to punish for contempt in such cases as a precedent.

Henry Gardner then discussed the
Utah lake reservoir proposition. The
latter said that $1,000 acres OF arid
land in the southern part OF Utah
county alone could be reclaimed II the
matter was pushed TO completion, He
would Ike 10 see water brought TO the
lake from the Strawberry valley. Large
tracts OF land could be reclaimed be-
tween the valley and the lake by the
canal being tapped along It's route.
Piping of Cottonwood Water.
Frank Mcdonald advocated piping
water from the Big and Little Cotton
wood rivers into the lake. The same
pipes could be used TO bring their wa
ters into salt Lake City after the
fruit season was over. when the farm
ers would not require more water for
irrigation purposes.
The diversion of the waters of the
Duchesne river to irrigate lands in the
southern part OF Utah county. via the
Spanish Fork river was advanced by
Mayor Heber c. Jex OF Spanish Fork
But before that could be done. he said
permission would have 10 be obtained
20 tap the river IN the Uintah reser-
walton. The possibility OF inducing tie
Indians 10 do d little irrigation on
their lands was also touched upon by
the mayor during the course of his
remarks.
The Bonneville reservoir, which
would be supplied with water from
the Sewer river, was talked or by L.
K. Chopper. BY an expenditure OF
about 100000 he thought 1876. 600 acres
could be reclaimed. He asked for gov
eminent aid for that project
Professor Tanner of the B. Y. A.
threw little cold water upon the pro-
ceedings by saying that he thought the
promoters OF reservoirs should first
produce proof that the rivers to be
tapped would furnish the waste water
claimed for them. He tried to take q
lot OF wind out of Mr.. Choppers sails
by making the fiat-footed statement
that the SEWER river. during the past
two years. has not had a surplus of
water sufficient to irrigate 10000 acres
OF land, let alone 10000.
At that juncture the above named
committee was appointed and the con-
gress took an adjournment until this
morning at 10 O'clock.

B. Chesley for injuries alleged to have
been sustained by him through the
negligence of the Consolidated Railway

that amount was filed in the district
court yesterday by the plaintiff.
According TO the allegations made by
the p,aintiff. he was riding upon a Sec
ond South street car near Fourth West

Iurched in making a slight curve near
Fourth West he was thrown from the
platform.
He fell violently upon the pavement,

forearm, elbow and shoulder blade that
they have become paralyZed and he
has been deprived of the use of them.
He sets forth that he has been dam
aged by that accident to the extent OF
the amount prayed for In the action

his condition because of alleged negli-
genee in failing to provide sufficient
cars TO accommodate their passengers
with safety.
