STREET FAIR AT oPELIKA.
The Proceeds to Be Applied to School
 Building Fund. .

Opellka, Sept. 2.-(Special.) )-At a mass meeting of prominent citizens held here last night, 1t was decided to have a mann moth street fair the last of October. The proceeds are to be devoted to the new public school building which is now be- Ting erected.
 The fair will be devoid of all features such as dances lnG snake eating In Oc- tober. 1900. Opelika held one of the largest street fairs ever had in Alabama. This one starts off with still brighter pros- poets and will be a grand, clean show
 The masons will lay the cornerstone of the new school building during the fair and will be addressed by Dr. Cunning ham, nominee for Lieutenant- Governor The Governor and other prominent men will be invited.
 About $1,000 in cash has been raised to provide free shows for the crowds that will assemble. Half a dozen brass bands, several balloonists, high diver, tight and slack rope walkers and many other fea- lures will be provided.
 It is thought that a large sum will be raised for the school. Reduced rates will be granted on all the railroads. The show will be full of interest and also moral.
 A mass meeting of negroes, mostly pol- ticians was held here today to devise
 
 Constitution and incidentally to raise money for the politicians among them to employ lawyers. Many were too sharp to he caught, and did not contribute. An organization was effected. however, and they hope to be re-enfranchised soon.
 The talk of running a candidate against Hon. H. D. Clayton for Congress in this district creates nothing but amusement. There is not negro in this county who can vote and not a corporals guard white men against the present able and faithful representative, who will receive practical ythe unanimous vote of the county.
 The approaching session of the Circuit Court promises to be one of the lightest held in many years. Very few cases were brought and very little important busi- ness brought over The grand jury may have a good deal of work as most of the persons arrested in thls county waived tr.al, hoping not to be indicted.

A BIG DEAL.
THE THREE LOWER DAMS ON
UNION RIVER SOLD.
BIG DAMS TO BE BUILT-A STORAGE
SYSTEM TO BE DEVELOPED
BIG MONEY INVOLVED.

The rumors that have filed the air for
the past week regarding the sale Of the
three lower dams on Union river,
and the erection of an immense stone
dam near the reduction works, have
resolved themselves into facts.
Dam No. /, owned by the Boston Re-
duction Co., dam No. 2, owned by the
Ellsworth Lumber Co., and dam No. 8.
owned by j. A. Peters, jr., M. Gallert, II.
M. Hall and H. w. Cushman, are the
properties involved, and also the rig hts
and privileges of the storage company
that was granted a charter by the last
State legislature.
The sum paid for these properties has
not been made public, but the sale has
been consummated and part OF the pur-
| chase price paid.
The purchasers are the Stanley Electric
Manufacturing Co., of Pittsfield, Mass,
| G. II. Cutting & Co, OF Worcester, Mass,
and others. 7 he deal was made throug b
|. l.. HalmaD, whose name is so closely
linked with the Ellsworth Castine electric
| railway project.
These people are also the parties inter
ested In the building Of the electric
-ailway, and one object of the purchase
is to provide for power plant for the
| railway.
But the purchase means even more than
| the building OF the railway; it means the
development of a water power on a ve =
arge scale, and its utilization by manI
'aeturing concerns of various sorts.
II is estimat ed that this plan OF opera
tioRs will develop upwards of 900
horse power. which can be made avaiia Bile
'or sny OF the many purposes for which
power Is in demand at the pres
ent day at any point within sew
sral miles OF the central station.
And being also accessible for bot b rail-
road end ocean transportation, it is be-
ieved to be to- day one of the most valua-
bic undeveioped powers in New England.

AFTER FORrY-sIX YEARS.
d. ii. Eppes Sells his Store and Re.
tires from Business.


After nearly half century of busy
business life spent on Main street In
Ellsworth, Daniel II. Eppes is to retire.
On August q, 1855, Mr.. Eppes began the
market business, i'll the basement of the
hotel building located where the Man
ming block now stands, then known AT
t he Ellsworth house, and later as THE
City hotel. That was one important
event OF that day, another was hie
marriage, which took place on the evening
of that same day,
SIR. Eppes remained in this location for
two years, when he bought OF &. G Peck
the Amasa Sargent property, the lot he
has just sold to Mr.. Morang. He occu
pied that building until 1875, " hen a new
building was erected on the lot In 1876
aud rented TO Il f. Suminsby, Mr.. Eppt S
moving to the Coombs block near tn,
bridge.
In 1884 he moved back to his present
location, and has been there until now,
having thus spent, with the exception OF
two years when he was out OF business,
almost forty eight years OF his life in the
market or grocery business on Main
street
Although retiring from active busines.
Mr.. Eppes is by no means incapscitsted
AT sixty nine years OF age he is as yigor-
Gus as most men twenty years his junior
His commanding figure aud genial
countenance bid fair to be familiar TO his
hosts OF friends and acquaintance for
many years to come.

The small store OF T. f. O'Brien at
Washington junction was broken into
some time Monday night, and about SIS
worth OF cigars, tobacco and pastry and
81 In cash were stolen.
The burglary was doubtless the work OF
two suspicious-looking tramps, who were
hanging around Cherryfield Monday
That night handcar was stolen at
Cherryfield.
On this car 1t is supposed the tramps
worked their passage to franklin, where
they stopped long enough to enter the
depot and steal about S6 in cash.
Then they returned to their private car
and proceeded to Washington Junction
The car has not been found.

TO ENLARGE.
G. l.. MoraDg Buys the ID. IL. Eppe.
Store.

To meet the demands of his increasing
business, q. l.. Morang has purchased the
store on Main street, owned and occupied
by Daniel II. Eppes, and will connect
1t with his own.
The interior of the new purchase will
be remodeIed, and devoted entirely to the
mems and boys clothing department
The two stores will be joined, and cash
system arranged In the centre. Other
toilet rooms on the second floor, will be
introduced.
So far as is practicable 1t Is Mr.. Morang's
intention to devote the present store to
the safe of women's goods, and the new
acquisition to that OF mems goods.
Mr.. Eppes will vacate the premises as
soon as he can dispose of his stock on
hand. Then work on remodeling will
commence at once. Mr.. Morang hopes to
have everything completed and his en-
larged quarters open to the public within
month.

is believed that the violations Of Law
and humanity, OF which these cases,
Ii true, are examples, VIII prove to.
be few and occasional and not to
characterize the conduct Of the army
general in the Philippines, but the
fact that any such acts OF cruelty and
barbarity appear to have been done
indicates the necessity of most
thorough, searching and exhaustive
investigation under the general
charges preferred by Governor Gard
ener. and you will spare no effort, in
the investigation already ordered I'M
der these charges, to uncover every
such case which may have occurred
and bring the offenders to justice.
The president desires to know in
the fullest and most cirSumstantia,
manner all the facts, nothing being
concealed, and no man being for any
reason favored or shielded. For the
very reason that the president in
tends to back up the army in the
heartiest fashion in every lawful anG
legitimate method of doing its work,
he also intends to see that the most
rigorous care is exercised to detect
and prevent any cruelty or brutality,
and that men who are guilty thereof
are punished. Great as the provoca-
ton has been in dealing with foes
who habitually resort to treachery
murder and torture against our men,
nothing can justify, or will be held
to justify, the use of torture or inhu-
man conduct of any kind on the part
of the American army.

Secretary of War.
