Shot a Woman.

There have been only three shooting scrapes in Dallas County this week. Whenever a grand jury meets or just be- fore it meets, you can always look out for a few killings or cuttings. News reached Selma this morning of a most brutal attempt at murder at Berlin a small station seventeen miles from Sel- ma. on the Pensacola and Selma division of the l.. and N.
 The officials of the l.. and N. have em- ployed a large force of hands between Selma and Flomaton during the past six months, lowering the grades and filling up the depressions in the track in order to make the line from here to Pensacola a first-class one. Some three or four hundred hands have been employed, and in that number there are bound to be a lot of disreputable. tough characters.
 A camp of these railroads hands has been located near Berlin, in this county, for several weeks past. A negro work man on the railroad, whose name could not be learned. had woman by the name of Prescilla Moore employed to do his cooking while the railroad gang was located at Berlin. He had promised her a nice calico dress to cook for him while the construction train was stopping there. Late yesterday afternoon Pres ella went to him to fill his promise to give her the dress. He was under the in- fiuence of whiskey at the time. and com menced to curse and abuse her, and wound up by drawing his gun and firing two balls into her breast He then made his escape and had not been captured at last accounts.
 The woman is dangerously hurt and from all accounts will die from her in- juries. The officials in the neighborhood of Berlin are making every effort to cap ture the would-be murderer, and if he is caught. the negroes of the neighborhood are so incensed over his brutal conduct they may take the law into their own hands and deal out swift and terrible punishment to him by swinging him to the nearest limb.

PLAN OF THE I. c.

 Line to the Gulf.

Sheffield, Jan 25.-(Special )-Consfder- able interest is being created here regard ing the building of the Mobile and Flor ence Railroad, which the promoters an- nounce they will soon have in readiness for beginning operations. This road, coupled with the Florence Northern Road, from Florence to Clifton. leaves only a small gap to be filled in to form an airline from Chicago to Mobile, and it is believed by those who have been watching the development of these two enterprises. that the Illinois Central is giving tacit. if not open. encouragement to these lines. as it would give that sys- tenn another and shorter trunk line to the Gulf, and one that will traverse the

To Discuss Clayton Bill.

A general meeting of the Birmingham bar will be held Monday morning at 9:So for the purpose of discussing the Clayton bill, now before Congress. This bill refers to the change proposed to be made in the United States judicial districts in Alabama, by which Birmingham would be placed in the district presided over by Judge Toulmin. whose hom eis in Mobile. This would make it necessary for attor- neys having matters for presentation be- tween terms to go to Mobile instead of tc Montgomery. as is now the case. It would cause great inconvenience to mem- bers of the Birmingham bar and at the meeting Monday an emphatic protest will probably be made.

Judge Prowell in Selma.

Judge Prowell came up from Linden this morning and is mingling with his hosts of Selma friends today. He is the Probate Judge of Marengo County and did not know anything about Judge An derson granting an injunction to prevent the Commissioners Court of his county fl rom building the new court house nearer the depot of the B., s. and N. O. Rail- road until he arrived here The new de- pot is about three quarters of a mile from the present town of Linden, and as a new court house had to be built, Judge Prowell and the Commissioners Court wisely decided that it ought to be built where the new town is to go up. But it seems that there is opposition. and the courts will have to be resorted to in or der to decide the matter.

About City Politics.

It Is being whispered around that MT B. F. Toler will be a candidate for city clerk at the next election. MT. Toler is now assistant to County Tax Assessor J. H. Lumpkin and is a thoroughly com- potent and conscientious man. The of flee of city clerk is now filled by ex- Mayor H. H. Stewart. It is not known to your correspondent whether MT. Stewart will be a candidate to suc- ceed himself or not. All of the city offices are now elective by the people and if these two popular citizens should de- eide to run against one another there would be battle royal. Both have legions of friends and they will line up on each side and while the battle of ballots between them will be a friendly one, yet it will be exceedingly warm and entertaining from political standpoint

He spent a good night last night and his symptoms are good this morning; yet on account of his age and feebleness, it Is greatly feared rally is only temporary While 1t is feared that the pneumonia. which has a strong hold on him, may take him off. yet there is hope that he will come out all right in the struggle. as he himself has never given up hope, md tells the lcved ones that watch around his bed side hat he is going to get well. He is a man of great will power and as long as he is making such a gallant fight he may get up and be himself again.

Iron Market in Good Condition.

Reports show the pig iron market in Alabama to be in fine condition. The market is strong and quotations are firm. There Is a demand for the entire production There is absolutely very little, if any, accumulation. The quota tions are on SIP basis for No. ?. foundry. Secretary-Tr Treasurer, J, w. Mcqueen of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Com pany, states that the market Is very satisfactory and that prices are firm. The production is holding it's own in Ala bama though preparations are being made looking to ap increase within the next six weeks. No less than four furnaces in the State are undergoing re- pairs and will be ready for the torch within the next month and half.

rounds on or about February 1st, as the new constitution says they shall do, and thirty days thereafter they will com mence the work of registering. It is not known to your correspondent whether they will go together or divide the coun- ty into three sections, so as to facilitate matters, but 1t is more than likely that they will apportion the territory and then come together and register the voters of the city last, each one of them sitting in a different ward. The law allows them sixty days in which to register the voters of the county and gives them extra time in cities of over 5,0oO inhabitants. They will thus have two months to work in the county and six weeks in which to register the voters of the city wards.
 The Presbyterian College.
 It is said that the Presbyterians of Selma are going to make big effort to locate the Presbyterian college of Ala bama in Selma, and that an effort will be made to get the old court house site at the head of Alabama Street as a loca- ton for the school. The building was originally built by the Masonic fraternity for a school building, and was given to the county for a court house when the county site of Dallas was moved from Cahaba to Selma about the close of the war. The building is splendid piece of masonry, is three stories in height and is on the most elevated point in the city of Selma. The old colonnades that support the roof reach from the ground to the top .and the view from the iron balcony at the top is a beautiful one. A good portion of the city can be seen from the third floor and the broad acres across the Alabama River can be taken in at one sweep of the eye.
 The lot is 100 feet front and is several hundred feet deep. The present build- ing could be used as class rooms, while the domitories for the boarding depart ment could be erected in rear of the present building. This school will draw several hundred boarders to the town that gets 1t and it, would be big thing for Selma and all of Central Alabama if the school or rather college, could be located in our midst. The old court house and the grounds could probably be purchased from the county for six or eight thousand dollars and would be admirably fitted as the nucleus around which the future great educational insti- tuition could be built. The city of Selma would raise the money by popular subscription to purchase the old court house for site for this college, if 1t can be assured that the college will be located here. Our people should not sleep on this matter, but should be on the alert to locate the Presbyterian college here. Ii means a dozen profess sors and two to four hundred students being brought to Selma and at least s2O0,- 0a0 and probably twice that much money will be spent in our midst in food and clothing in maintaining and keeping up the college.

Rabbi Messing's Discourse.

The large audience that filled Temple Mishkan Israel yesterday afternoon to attend the funeral services over the re- mains of MT. William Ullman, were deep ly touched by the eloquenct oration de- livered by Rabbi Messing of Chicago, who came from Montgomery to attend the funeral. Rabbi Messing Is a young man, but he is master of word painting Ev- cry word that this young divine said about Mir. Ullman was true, and his words were eloquent, touching and pa- thetic as he alluded to the dead mans career as an upright citizen and gal lant Confederate soldier, fighting for his country.
 Out of respect to MT. Uullman. all of the business houses in Selma were closed during the hour of the funeral, a tribute of respect that is rarely ever shown a man in a city the size of Selma. But, as was said by a leading citizen: ''Too much respect cannot be shown the memory of William Ullman. for he was one of na- lures noblemen"

Ants on Lawns.

0neo OF LAWNS
s., B. French asks: what is the
best way to destroy black ants, when
they form colonies on the lawn and
in the door yard?" =.
One Of the most common ways Of
exterminating them is to destroy their
mounds as they build them, cutting
them of with a scytne at the ground
Just before rain. The passages win
then fill with water. This has been
the practice followed by the writer
il regard to such mounds in the fields,
and it should work equally well on
lawns. A scientific writer gives the
following list of methods: ~ Pour
carbolic acid water down their nests
90 Boil one pound of cape aloes In 4
gallon of water and add six ounces Of
powdered camphor. Excavate the ant
hill and pour in quart of this, COW
ering as much space as possible, and
then fill the nest again. there the
nests cannot be found, dilute this
largely with water, and sprinkle over
leaves, etc., through the nose of Z
watering can. CD Tobacco water
is effectual if poured on for few
nights till they disappear. az Putting
insect powder into their holes every
morning for a few days will usually
clear out ants. (5) Another excellent
exterminator is to take four ounces OF
potash and one-half pound -four Of
birthstone. Set them in an iron or
earthen pan over the fire until dis
solved and united; afterWard beat to
! powder. 1nfuse some of this in
water, and wherever sprinkled about
| the house or grounds the ants will
die or leave. CO. Another plan is to
punch hole in the ant hill with
wooden stick or iron rod; pour
| little bisulphate Of carbon into this
! hole, and then fill it by pressing the
earth around it; the fumes will pene-
trate the hill and exterminate the
ants. AS this is an explosive sub
stance it must be used with care, but
it kept away from the fire is com
paratively safe. 1t is volatile liquid
and it's fumes are very destructive to
animal life.
