The Case of Coffman.

Justice of the Peace K. b. Coffman and Constable w, J. Armstrong of Brook side. are before Judge D. A. Greene upon habeas corpus proceedings the purpose being to have bond fixed in the various cases against them. Over fifty witnesses are in attendance and the proba hility is that the hearing will he long drawn out,
 The case first taken up was that in which R. D. Coffmdn is charged with robbery, the allegation being that he took a gold watch of the value of $30 from Mack Williams. Armstrong is not involved in this case. but he remained in the court room.
 In addition to the Williams case there are several other capital cases which will have to be investigated before the hear ing is concluded There are in all four teen eases against Fodmau and ten against Armstrong, most og them. how ever, being hailablc.
 k. D. Coffman Was arrested again this afternoon in the case of GeOrS" Johnson, the negro who Was killed at Warner mines some time ago.
 COfiman was given a preliminary trial before Justice IT, B. Abrrnethy in the Johnson case, and WIS bound over under g., 800 bond on the charge of man slaughter The indictment charged mur- der in the first degree and today when the Coffman matter was being looked into 1t was found that there was an indict- ment charging murder in the first degree and a bond for mansluaghter in the first degree. The two were inconsistent and Judge Greene ordered Coffmau arrested on the indictment, Had Coftman been bound over for murder as charged in the indictment the bond would have held good. As it is the Johnson case will be investigated along with the other cases now being heard

' Tine reason assigned by Major Allison q, .declininR to file the bill was that he xVas restrained from doing so under the final decree rendered by Judge Jones or fine United States Court in the Howe case and in this connection an interesting question arises. Has any one else the right to proceed in the case in view or the final decree rendered by Judge Jones? in rendering the final decree i'll the Howe ease, Judge Jones made MT. 7. T. Ru- dulph the permanent receiver of the Con- 4ipental Security Redemption Company, and all other concerns involved and at the same time he enjoined all officials of the various companies and 'all other per- sons' from interfering in any way with the receiver in winding up the affairs of the concerns. Major Allison takes 1t that he is included in the general injunction against 'tall other persons" and. there fore, declined to file the bill without the approval of Judge Jones.

Republican Talk.

Notwithstanding boasts to the contrary by administration leaders, from the best information obtainable here there will be no meeting soon of the Republican party Qily whites). though an effort has been made to have Chairman w. l. Wellman call such q gathering. Chairman We'll man is said to have asked an opinion from every member of the Committee on the subject of a meeting of the Commit tee, and more than a majority have re- was desired to accomplish through call ing the Committee together was to adopt resolutions undong the action of the late Republican State Convention with refer ence to the exclusion of negroes from the party councils and thereby putting the party back on its former basis. This would have been serious blow to the new movement had it been accomplished. The following communication was sent in the State, including members of the state Committee:
 My De ar Sir-The Birmingham conven- ton, in excluding duly qualified and elect ed delegates from participating in our party councils. went beyond their legal powers and violated the fundamental principles uf our party. A large number rf Republicans are opposed to this lily white movement and desire to return to true party principles As the case now stands in the eyes of the national ad- North and West. we are wanderers from ths true faith and until we get back in line We will fail of recognition.

IT Is IMPORTANT
To Know What You Are Taking
 When Using Catarrh Medicines.

Catarrh is the short route to consump- ton. and the importance of early and malicious treatment of catarrh, whether located in the head, throat or bronchial tubes, cannot be too strongly empha- sized.
 The list of eatarrh cures is as long as the moral law and the forms in which they are administered. numerous and con fusing, from sprays, inhalers, washes, ointments. and salves to powders. liquids and tablets.
 The tablet form is undoubtedly the most convenient and most effective, but with nearly all advertised catarrh remedies it is almC st entirely a matter of guess work as to what you are taking into your sys- tenn, as the proprietors, while making all sorts of claims as to what their medl- cines will do, always keep it close se- cret as to what they are.
 The success and popularity of the new catarrh cure. Stuarts Catarrh Tablets is largely because it not only cures ca tarrh but because catarrh sufferers who used these t9blcts know what they are taking into their systems Stuarts Ca tarrh Tablets being composed of Red Gum. Blood Root and similar valuable and antiscptc ingredients, and are pleas ant to the taste and being dissolved in the mouth they take immediate effect upon the mucous lining of the throat nasal passages and whole respiratory tract
 The cures that Stuarts Catarrh Tablets have accomplis he'd in old chronic cases of catarrh are little short of remarkable. and the advantage of knowing what you are putting into your stomach is of para mount importance when it is remembered that the cocaine or morphine habit has been frequently contracted as the result of using secret catarrh remedies.
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets meet with cordial approval from physicians, because their antseptic character render them perfectly safe for the general public to use and their composition makes them a common sense cure for all forms of ca tarrhal troubles.
 All druggists sell them at 50 cents for

SOUTHERN LEAGUE WILL
 HOLD MEETING TOMORROW
Question Of Dropping Shreveport and Chattanooga from the Circuit Will Be the Main One
 Before MagnateS

1 CT or later seems to be foregone conclu- sion and the probabilities are that 1t will | be done long before the opening of the baseball season in the spring. There is f, grounds will be used by the Traction Company, a lot of improvements and in- novauons being made. Lew Whistler made some good suggestions when he was here, the principal one being the moving of the grand stand to the west side of the grounds so that the afternoon sun would be at the back of that building, the stand and hleachers of course being entirely rebuilt and greatly enlarged. All this about the Traction Company taking charge of the Highland Park grounds is of course speculative. It may or may not occur but the chances are decidedly in favor of the affirmative.
 Everything however points to the fact that Montgomery will have a season of good. clean baseball and to the efforts of President Ragland of the Montgomery Traction Company Is due the thanks of the baseball loving people of Montgom- cry. While 1t has Tot been decided yet 1t is possible that President Kayanaugh of the Southern League and other mem bers of the league may be in Montgomery next Tuesday when the local club will be incorporated and everything put in first class shape.
 There is hardly question but that President kavanaugh will be unanimous ly reelected tomorrow. and he is un- doubtedly the right man in the right place. His courageous, broad-minded stand at the Chicago meeting did more than anything else to bring the Western League and American Association to- gether. and the other day in Memphis his efforts more than any other brought the outlaw and Southern leagues together, putting an end to a bitter fight that was bound to be disastrous for everybody in 1t. If montgomery does have a vote in this-as most probably she will-that vote will most assuredly be for Judge W. M. Kavanaugh. the man who has made sue cessful minor league baseball a possi- bility and that his election tomorrow will be unanimous seems positive.

GREYS TO GIVE BALL.
Military Organization to Revive
 Time-Honored Custom.

The Montgomery Greys will, on Janu- ary 90. revive the company's ancient and time -honored custom of giving an annual ball.
 For many years the Greys entertained their friends with elaborate balls. which were social events in their day. Since 1895 there has been a lapse in the ob- servance of the custom. No balls have been given since that year.
 At the last ball Captain Marion Wat son at that time commander of the Grcys. led the grand march with Mrs. W. c. Oates. General Oates. at that time being Governor of Alabama.
 The coming ball will be the twenty eighth al S--al affair of the Greys It will be given in the Auditorium Friday evening. January 30.
 The preliminary arrangements are al ready well under way and the ball prom ises to be one of the most brilliant af- fairs of the season.

H. 6 B. Beers Cotton Letter.

Especial to The Advertiser.1
 New Orleans, Dec. 13.-Liverpool was disappointing but notwithstanding this our market opened unchanged to lower and subsequently improved on fresh buying owing to the light receipts. Later the unfavorable weekly New York bank statement the easiness existing in stocks occasioned decline there of from the top. Near the close a slight rally took place on renewed buying, making the closing figures unchanged to lower. There =E no indications of receipts in- creasing during the next week or ten days and as long as the light movement continues. no inclination will be shown by traders to sell speculatively. Ire spective of the bullish data being record ed daily. the outside influences are not in silver has practically cut off the tex tile trade with China and all countries on silver basis and as spinners are aI- ready provided with a large stock of the raw article. it looks as if they will fall back on their surplus and pursue a hand to mouth policy. -
 In America the great prosperity with which this country has had for four years seems to have reached its limit. There Is a feeling of nervousness aald want of confidence prevalent in financial centers which probably accounts for the lack of buying from outsiders. In the season of 1892 and 1893. although the crop was very small, being only 6, 600, 900 as compared to 9,0O0.0O0 the previous year values declined from 10 cents to below cents because trade was bad and there was a general want of confidence therefore, while the present statistical situation in cotton ia strong, we think well of also considering these other influences which have a direct bearing in ultimately regulating the price of cotton. Sentiment. however is very bullish and the probability is values ment is so abnorma G light.

In Better Shape.

The Sloss-ShefIield Steel and Iron Com pany, the second largest iron producing company in the South, has sent to its customers letter announcing that if the railroad car shortage in this State is not more pronounced this month than it has been since October 18th, it will be able to clear all contracts on hand up to date. The seven furnaces of the com pany in full operation are expected to produce S6.000 tons of pig iron and with the $500 tons on the yards accumulated by the car shortage will furnish the pro- duct for the orders on hand. It is claim ed that this company is the only one in the South well up with it's business. Sales have been made by the Sloss-Shef- field Company for the better part of its make during the first six months of the coming year and sales have been made already for a few tons of iron to be de- livered after July l. The statement was made today that more than 1.700 coke ovens each capable of making 12 tons of coke every ty-eight hours, are under construction in this State and that con- tractors are after the work of construct ing 600 more. The supply of coke at present Is inadequate and as a conse- Quence much of it is being brought into the State from the Nirginias.
