POLITICAL POINTERS.

New Haven policemen and fremen will ask an amendment to the city charter giving them the right of ap- peal to the courts from orders of the commissioners reducing their grade or dismissing them from the service. The charter gives various higher off, cials this right, and the firemen and policeman hold that they should enjoy equal rights under the law.
 All that Meriden has thus far con- cluded to ask from the next general assembly is the establishing of state normal school and the location of the state agricultural college there, pro vided it is to be removed from Mans field. However, Meriden is modest and will not for the present, at least, ask to have the state capitol moved down here.-Hartford Times.
 The comptroller elect, MT See1ey of Bridgeport, made brief visit to the capitol on Wednesday. It was antici- pated that he would announce the re- mainder of his list of appointments of assistant superintendents and coat room custodians, but he had not per
 fected the list. It is probable that l the appointments will not be announc- i ed until Mir Seeley makes his next visit to Hartford, next Wednesday unless he completes his list before that time and notifies the appointees i privately.
 i The contest for the assistant clerk ship of the house of 1O3 continues to center in Fairfield county, says the Hartford Times, which has the only three candidates in the field Water bury had candidate, but he is report led to have withdrawn. A. B. Under wood of Bridgeport has been making the most active canvass for the place and is reasonably confident of ma ljority of the votes in the caucus, with
 every county delegation in his favor

 Lawyer King of Fairfield has suppor lin that section and scattering votes 1T Iother counties. MT Underwood has

Dec. 27.-It is reported that Joe Cooley, brother of Montgomery Cooley, who was lynched by mob here Thursday, is wounded and in hiding at Weir City, Kan, and later investigation of the trouble be- tween Officer Hinkle and the Cooley brothers tends to show that Joe and not the man who was lynched fired the shot that killed the policeman. Two other brothers, Gus and Jess, are in jail at Girard, charged with being im- plicated in the murder, but Joe es- capped. The mother of the Cooley boys is said to have asked physician here to treat Joe for gunshot wound in the neck.F She would not tell the where abouts of her son, and the doctor rs- fused to go with her.

 In the city court, before Judge Bur pee, to-day, the case against Deodoro Galossa for assaulting Tony Pascucci was called. The accused was defended by Attorney Russell. A bandage around the plaintiffs head told where he had been assaulted and the nature of the wound. Dr Galley said it was two and half inches long and there was depression on the outer table of the skull. The pupil of one eye was dilated and the other was contracted, indicating an injury to the brain. Judge Burpee said there was no varia- ton in the principal facts of the case, which. he said, were told best by Pat ! rick J. TOomey. a witness He said l that the complainant and the accused had difference about placing some metal in a barrel in Benedict & Burn hams factory where they were en- l ployed.

I Forced to Wear Thin Uniform Parad-
 ing With Vests Minstrels.

ing With Vests Minstrels.
 The circumstances surrounding the death of Walter G. Walling who was a member of Waterbury lodge of Elks, were particularly sad It seems that Walling was travelling with the Vests minstrels and had been north and west with the company. He told the nurse who cared for him before he died that he was forced to wear a very thin uniform in the parades of the minstrels and that three weeks before that in St Paul he had marched in driving sleet rain. Five of the musicians were taken i'll, he among them, but he kept at work. He left the company shortly after and joined the J. J. Lewis Si Plunkard company. He arrived with that company at Bar aboO, Wisconsin, on Sunday, December l4. He at once went to bed and sent for doctor. For few days he seem ed to improve but toward the last of the week he grew rapidly worse and the nurse questioned him as to where he belonged and where were his 'rela- tives or friends. He said he had no relatives or friends on earth with the exception of the Elks of Waterbury, Connecticut. Sunday, December 21, he died at half past five in the after noon. The remains were at once cared for by local undertaken. Services were held in Elks' hall on the follow ing Tuesday afternoon and he was buried with all Elks honors.

ducted large cotton business in eddi- tion to his other interests.
 Captain Tullis had practically retired from mercantile life. but when he saw an njopportunity for his sons to expand in their chosen field of business he decided to remove to Montgomery and lend his recognized executive ability and business sagacity to the new establishment. It will be agreeable news to his friends in ntgomery to know that Captain Tullis will remove his family here at once.
 The officers of the Snow-Tullis Hard ware Company are: John w. Tullis, Jr.. presidklt: John w. Tullis. Sr., vice-presi- dent and Clayton T. Tullis. secretary and treasurer
 For the present and probably until October 1st, both places of business owned by the Snow-Tullis Hardware Company will be conducted as hardware establish ments The Tullis Hardware Company has a commodious store at S4 Commerce Street. The other store is at 25 Com meree Street where D. M. Snow & Co., has done business for so long time.
 After October 1st the Snow-Tullis Hard ware Company will have it's headquarters at 25 commerce Street which is one of the largest and most completely equipped hardware stores in the State. The store runs entirely through the block having an entrance on Lee Street as well as on Commerce Street.
 The organization of the Snow-Tullis Hardware Company will have far reaching effect upon the hardware jobbing trade of Montgomery. The new company will be in position to handle business throughout the territory adjacent to the city and it's influence will be felt through out the entire State.
 John ". Tullis. Jr.. president of the new company in response to an enquiry yesterday emphatically denied that the Snow-Tullis Hardware Company had any afiliation with the hardware trust.

BEAUTIFUL FERNS.

The popularity of ferns has increased wonderfully within the last few years They are indispensable now for all choice decorations, and are especially valua ble for room and table decorations Their great diversity and gracefuIness of foliage make them much valued as plants for vases, rock work, and baskets.
 Keep them out of the direct sunlight, water carefully that the delicate roots lying near the surface may never become dry. The best soil for almost all kinds of ferns Is equal parts of leaf mold and loam. In preparing pots for ferns be sure 10 put broken pieces of jar for drain- ing-one-thfrd of the space. the largest at the bottom and the smallest on top. Cover with layer of moss. wetting it as you do so Shake the old soil and firmly press them in the fresh soil, being careful not to injure the roots and deli cate fronds. If the fronds shrivel and turn brown there are probably worms at the bottom of the pot. You may be sure of this if little heaps of earth are thrown up They must then be speedily removed
 The Japanese fern ball is novel and comparatively new. They are imported each year from Japan In January and are then in a dormant state. They are apparently ball of moss and fern roots, and should be started by soaking them in luke-warm water for several hours, then hung In q particularly shaded place re- ceiving a good watering three times a week. also spraying every day. They grow for several months. when they begin to show sings of resting, then gradually withhold water until the foliage is dead. Put them In A place where they will not become too dry. until the next January. How many years they will grow in this way is not known, but is a beautiful illustration of the immortality of the soul. it's birth. life. death and resurrec- ton in realms beyond the grave

 The procession was formed down town about Il o'clock, and was composed of the Lowndes Rifles, the members of Camp Bullock. the Hayneville High School pu- pills, and the ladies of the Memorial As- sociation, and marched hence to Monu- ment Square. Miss Aline Meadows re- cited poem by John Trotwood Moore. and afterwards the veterans, the remnant of the finest body of men the world ever produced, shook hands with Miss Mead ows. to show their appreciation of her work.
 The procession then went to the court house. The meeting was called to order by Commander J. W. Rast, and the ladies of the Village Choir sang several war time songs. dear to the hearts of the old Confederates. Capt. B. H. Screws of Montgomery, the orator of the day, was then introduced by Col Willis Brewer
 as the Boy Captain of the 2sth.'' Cap tain Screws delivered an able and elo- quent address which was highly compli- mented as one of the best ever heard in Hayneville.

NEW HARDWARE co.
OLD HOUSE OF D. M. SNOW 6 co,
 SOLD.
Organization of Snow-Tullis Hard ware Company Marks Era in Business Circles of Mont
 gomery-Not in Trust.

An important event took place in the commercial circles of Montgomery yes, terday when the SnowTullis Hardware Company was formally organized anc will succeed to the business formerly owned by D. M. Snow & Co and the Tullis Hardware Company.
 The firm of D. M. Snow & Co is one
 of the landmarks among Montgomery
 business houses. For thirty-six years,
 practically under the same conservative
 management, this firm has carried on it's
 immense business. gaining fresh influence
 and prestige as the years rolled by.
 Since the death of D. NJ. Snow few
 years ago, B. l.. Holt has been in active
 management of the business.
 The Tullis Hardware Company on the other hand is a young firm-having start ed in business but ten years ago in Eu- faula. Realizing, however the advan- tages possessed by the Capital City and feeling the need of a larger field for operations. the Tullis Hardware Com pany bought out Jackson and OConnell a prominent Montgomery hardware firm five years ago, since which time by their principles and aggressive policy they have won a large circle of friends throughout trade circles and es- ta blished a splendid business. Up to this time the management of the business has been In the hands of John Tullis, Jr., and Clayton T. Tullis.
 The new firm will make. however, a very strong one. as all the elements of strength in the two will be retained by the Snow-Tullis Hardware Company. B. l.. Holt will retain an interest in the firm, as well of course John W. Tullis and Clayton Tullis. A distinct addition. however. will be made in the vice-presi- dent of the new firm. Captain John W. TuIlis of Eufaula. MT. Tullis has for years been one of the foremost citizens of Southeast Alabama. and has led in every movement for the upbuilding of that section. He has for years been president of the. Eufsula cotton mills, up to a short time ago owned the cleo trie Hxht and gas plant there and con-
