LOT COST TOO MUCH.
Tuscaloosa County Commissioners
 Postpone Court House Matter.

Tuscaloosa, October 4.-(Special )-The county commissioners were in session again yesterday for the purpose of fur ther considering the question of the new court house. After much discussion it was decided to postpone indefinitely the location and erection of the proposed building.
 It is stated that if the lot just to the south of the present building, owned by Dr. John Little, could have been pur- chased reasonably that the work would have been pushed at once but the price required was $12,5O0 and as this sum could not be considered by the commis- sioners 1t was decided to postpone the matter indefinitely. They have several other plans in view. one is that they build on lot owned by the city between Sixth and Seventh streets and Twenty-eighth avenue.
 Those interested in the welfare of Tus- caloosa will regret to learn that the com mssioners found 1t necessary to postpone this important matter, but trust that they will soon arrive at some definite conclusion.

WILL BUILD NEW
 METHODIST CHURCH
EFFORT TO ERECT BUILDING AT CORNER OF 17TH AVE. AND 12TH ST. TO BE CARRIED TO A sUc- cEssFUL TERMINATION.

Members of the Methodist denomination who are interested in the movement to organize a new church for the southside and erect an edlfice at the corner of Elev- enth avenue and Twelfth street held a meeting last night at the Second Pres byterian church for the purpose of talk ing the necessary steps for putting their plans into effect.
 About seventy-flve persons were pres ent, and the presiding elder, the Rev. pr. John D. Simpson, called the meeting to order.
 It was stated that the site for a church had been purchased and that the next thing to be done would be the erection of temporary building on the rear Of the lot in which services could be held until the new congregation was prepared to erect handsome church. It was also stated that no permanent organization could be effected until the conference met in November and gave It's consent to the establishment of the projected church. After that was done the conference would send a pastor in due course of time.
 Several short addresses were made and every one present seemed earnestly in favor of pushing the enterprise and in raising money for the temporary struc- ture. Nearly 15O names were enrolled for membership in the new church.
 The following building committee was appointed to solicit subscriptions and con- sider plans for a temporary house of worship: J. B. Francis, chairman; Wal ter K. McAdory, J. L. Yancey, R. G. Hewitt and Fred Sheppard.

MOLINEUX DID NUT
 BUY THE HOLDER
Miss Miller Gives Strong EW-
 dence for the Defense
REMEMBERED THE INCIDENT
Prosecuting Attorney Osborne Said Miss Miller Was a States Witness of Necessity, But He Wanted
 to Cross-Exannine Her.

New York October 24-The defense in the Molineux trial again claimed an ad- vantage today when Miss Emma Miller, the woman who sold the silver bottle holder which accompanied the poison package sent to Harry Cornish, testified positively that Molineux was not the purchaser.
 At the opening of the trial today Charles c. Hughes of the Knickerbocl1er club, testified that Cornish had made some scurrilous remarks about Molineux which witness repeated to Molineux Charges were made against Cornish, but they were not sustained.
 Emma Miller, the clerk in Hart's gen. eral store In Newark. where the silver bottleholder was bought, said she sold the bottleholder submitted to her, but doubted If she could recognize the person to whom she sold it. She admitted that she had demanded $50 before she would give her testimony.
 Miss Miller said, replying to former Governor Black that she remembered selling the bottleholder in question, on December 21, 1S9S She sold it to a man with grey eyes and a sandy beard. She was quite sure Molineux was not the man. After the former governor was through, MT. Osborne explained that Miss Miller was witness of necessity" and he did not believe the prosecution should be bound entirely by her testimony and be barred from cross examining her on testimony elicited from her by the. de- fense.
 Justice Lamberth held that the prosecu- tion might show that Miss Miller had not always been certain about her ability to say that the defendant was out the man who bought the holder.
 Mir Osborne asked witness if she had not duly recorded tbat she might have been able to identify the purchaserA two days after the purchase was made,a but that she had been so upset by the news paper notoriety that she could not re- member anything.

THE MOVING SIDEWALK.
A Contemporary Imaeines it in Opera
 ton on the Bridge.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 q see they are still agitating the idea of a moving sidewalk on the Brooklyn takes you right across without any fur ther exertion on your part"
 That's fine. No exertion, eh? That's enough to make a fellow wish he was 2 tramp. Any lampposts to lean against?'
 NO, I think not"
 Any fire hydrants to sit on?"
 ''No."
 "Supposing a man forgot something and wanted to go back?
 He'd just step on the sidewalk going the other way
 Say. that's great. Wouldn't have to be acrobat, would he?'
 ''No."
 ''It wouldn't be pleasant. you know, to have one foot going west on one side walk and t'other foot going east on the other sidewalk"
 That needn't happen if you are care full"
 "We1l, I aint very careful. Just as like as not I'd get one foot on the side walk and leave the other on the road while l stopped to hail friend. It wouldn't look dignified, would it?"
 Not for any length of time"
 And I suppose fellow would have to keep pretty artistic pose all the time, too, for fear they'd run him into one of those moving picture scenes?'
 T suppose so.'
 of course. But say, the moving side walk never would do for the women."
 ''Why not?'
 They'd want to clutch hold of some body as soon as they came aboard, and, say, when they got off they'd be dead sure to get off the wrong way!''
