WORKING FOR NEW TRAIN ID DECATUR Petitions to be Sent the Louis
 vile & Nashville I. '. BOARDMAN TALKS Explains the Benefit of Proposed Train to Birmingham and the Small
 Cities Between Here
 and Decatur.
 
T. Y. BOARDMAN TALKS

The suburban train committee of the Board of Trade is preparing to push the movemeint to get a train on the Louis vile and Nashville from Birmingham to Decatur. leaving here every morning and returning every afternoon.
 T. v. Boardman, chairman of the com mittee. will pursue the same method In getting t4..s train improved so success full in getting the train on the Alabama Great Southern between Birmingham and Selma. He will write letters to promi- nent and influential men along the route to Decatur and request their support of the movement. He will also circulate a petition in Birmingham and all cities between here and Decatur asking the Louisville and Nashville to place this train in operation as soon as possible.
 Great Convenience.
 In speaking of the matter yesterday afternoon Mir Boardman said:
 This train will be a great thing for the merchants of Birmingham and the people living along the Louisville and Nashville between here and Decatur. It will enable them to come to the shop ping financial. industrial and manufac- turing center of the state at convenient hours to attend to business and also to return to their homes at equally con- venient hours.
 '.There are hundreds of people who would like to come to Birmingham on this train, and there are large numbers travel north on it when it goes out in the morn- ing. Birmingham, as the industrial, manufacturing and commercial center Of Alabama, needs as many of these trains as possible. Every one of them aids the Birmingham merchant, enabling him to get his goods into this section ahead or merchants in other cities.
 The Selma Train.
 We have all felt the good effects of the train recently placed in operation between Birmingham and Selma on the Alabama Great Southern. All Birming- ham knows that 1t was a great help to the merchants, both retail and whole sale They will all feel an equal in- crease in business for every train of this hlnd operated
 Letters will be written to men of in- fiuence, merchants, bankers and busi- ness men, between Birmingham and De catur and they will be asked to aid in the good work We feel sure that the train will be of greater value to them than to Birmingham The petitions to the railroad will be started at once and pushed rapidly.

New York, October 2.-L. V. Bells Hermis. by winning the Ocean View handicap at one and one-sixteenth miles at Gravesend today, stamps himself as one of the best three-year-olds in train ing, say racing men.

Hermis was first to break and showed the way for a half mile and then gave way to Huntressa, who made the running to the stretch. Herms in the meantime was in and out of pockets all down the back stretch and around the far turn. It was not until the stretch was reached that the Bell colt commenced to run, and he simply galloped home an easy winner on his own courage. Rice, his rider. was practically of no assistance to him.

TO Governor A. n. Llongino:
At the May term 1888. OF the circuit

and convicted on q charge OF robbery.
and was sentenced TO serve ten years In
the state penItentiary, to which ne wac

he has been In the said penitentiary
continually since that time.
at the time Of said conviction saia
Clark was only twenty-three years DID,
in good health, but that soon after Lis
confinement in the penitentiary his
health gave way and has since that time
continually to the present time been
very bad and that be lie not able 20 do
much work; and that he lie also.ruptured
and in the year 1900 he had very hard
spell of typhoid pneumonia, from which
he has never sufficiently recovered to be
able to do manual labor, and he has
very little hopes of ever regaining his
health while he Is confined.
During all the time he has been serv-
ing under said sentence, he has never
caused any trouble TO the persons having
charge of him. but on the other hand he
has always been obedient. in the com.
pliance with the commands and require
ments Of those in whose charge he has
been.
We, therefore, believing that the ends
Of justice have been fully met i'm his
case, and owing to the impaired condi-
ton of his health, together with the fact
that he has never given any trouble.
respectfully petition that he be granted
q full pardon.
