ALABAMA RIFLEMEN
WILL CONTEST FOR HONORS AT
THE INTERSTATE SHOOT.
CAPT. COMFY WINS SUCCESS.
GETS PROMISES OF TEAMS FROM
CITIES HE VISITED.

Capt. COney Wrote the Morning
News, Telling of His Reception by
Alabama COMMUNICATION OF
ShnrpshOoters VIII Come From
DOthnn-Birmingha Seems Likely
to Send Four Teams-Teams From
That City Seem Inspired by the
Hope of the Practice and Training
They Would Receive, Rather Than
That of winning Prizes.
Capt. Walter e. Coney has been do
ing good work for the Interstate Rifle
Shoot, to be held at Savannah. Aug
$3.50. He has spent two or three days
in Alabama, where he has met Off
GERS of companies of that state. From
some of these he has received very
encouraging assurances, and it seems
certainty that there will be Alabama
teams entered in the matches.
Capt. Coney has written the Morn
ing News from Birmingham regard
ing his trip, and all the military of
Savannah, being interested in the
shoot, will read with interest what he
has to say of his progress. His let
ter is of the date of July rs, and is as
follows:
Il arrived here from Montgomery.
evening, upon my way to the depot, 1
met many Alabama soldiers, who were
en- route to their homes, from the camp
at San Souce Beach, near Mobile.
Their train had laid over at Montgom-
cry for an hour or two, and they were
sight seeing.
Luckily / ran into the very peo-
pie L wanted most to meet, Company
+, First Alabama, from Dothan. They
had just carried off the shooting hon.
ors at Mobile and were flushed with
victory Out of seven sharpshooter's
badges given during the encampment,
they won five. Capt. j. w. Sanders,
the commanding officer, promised me
that he would certainly put a team in
the Savannah shoot Their highest
score was SO out of 100, made at vary
ing ranges, under conditions 1 do not
know. So their sharpshooter's quail
fication is different from ours
Capt Falmar of the Troy Com
pany, whom l met upon the street,
promised to consider the matter. I
find the people here without a range,
as usual, but very much interested,
Gen. L. V. Clarke, commanding the
Alabama National Guard, is in favor
of the shoot, is giving it his
hearty support, and promises to
take it up with his companies, in
addition to efforts from the adjutant
generals office. His reception was most
cordial.
Capt. Walter f. Gardner, quarter
master, Third Alabama, is enthusiastic
over the event. and assures me that
Birmingham viii send two teams, if
any sort of range can be secured for
practice. First Lieutenant r. l..
Gregory commanding the Jefferson
Volunteers, IS sure that his company
will send a team. and the other team
will come from the Birmingham Ri
ffes, commanded by First Lieutenant
9. b. Ballard, who is very enthusiastic.
Most of the Alabama teams will at
tend more with the idea of gaining
practice and experience, than of cap
turing many prizes.
y. Hugh Miller, formerly of the
Oglethorpe Light Infantry, and Joe
Lawrence, formerly of the Savannah
Cadets, in the Spanish War, will both
be found with the Birmingham rifle
shots

Plant Avenue.
Waycross, Ca, July 27-Capt. w. N.
Hughes. a retired United States army
officer, who is spending the summer
in Waycross, has a number of medals
displayed at one of the jewelry stores
in this city which he won in marks
manship contests throughout the coun-
try. He has sharpshooter's medals for
seven years from 1883 to 1890. A dds
tinguished marksman" medal present.
ed to him i'll 1891 is in solid gold. An
Army Department" medal presented
to Capt. Hughes in 1885, was made in
the United States Mint, and contains
solid gold to the value of 500. The
handsomest medal in Capt. Hughes
collection is one which was presented
him by the Chicago Tribune in 1891.
1t is of solid gold and silver, and has
a large diamond mounted in the cen
ter. This medal was won on a score of
10 successive bull eyes at 200, 800, 500

back from the track to make room for
another side track which is being laid.

improving the railroad facilities there.
A runaway on Plant avenue late yes
terday afternoon caused great excite
ment for a short while. The horses
attached to a hack belonging to E.
Banks became frightened because of
broken coupling, and running up the
street, dashed into a telephone pole
near the passenger depot. One of the
horses struck his head squarely against
the pole, and was killed almost in
stantly. 1t was almost a miracle that
other damage was not caused on ac-
count of the crowded streets at the
time of the runaway.

NEGRO RAN AMUCK
JOHN GALLISHAW TERRORIZED
PEOPLE OF MONTGOMERY.
WITH THREATS OF DEATH.
DESPERATE swORE HE'D SHOOT
THE FIRST MAN HE SAW.

breathing Threats ms wild as They
Were PrOfane, GaIIishaw StaII<ed
Up and Down the Bluff at Mont
EOmery-Wns Looking for Man
who Had sworn out One of Many
Warrants for His Arrest-WOmen
and Children of Families Living mt
Montgomery Frightened Nearly to
Death-Negro Left When He Was
Ready and in Advance of Deputies
Sent to Catch Him.
A drunken and desperate negro, John
Gallishaw, terrorized the residents of
Montgomery Saturday night Armed
with a rife. breathing horrible curses
and swearing to kill every man who
offered to oppose him, Gallishaw pa
raded the bluff.
When he left it was in accordance
with his own will and pleasure and
considerably in advance of a party of
deputy sheriffs, that attempted to ar
rest him.
Gallishaw shot and seriously wound
ed two other negroes at Isle of Hope,
about a month ago, and since that
time has remained in hiding. This Of
is wanted, and several warrants are
out for his arrest. So completely does
he dominate. the people of his own
race living in that vicinity that, either
through fear or affection, they have
shielded and fed him and thus permit
ted and even encouraged the contin-
uance of his career of crime.
Came Out From Hiding.
While sober Gallishaw has sufficient
discretion to keep out of sight, but
this time he accumulated a jag of
large and imposing proportions, and
carried it down to the bluff at Mont
gomery to impress the residents of
that resort. He was wild with rage,
whisky and over-anxiety to get a
shot at one of the men who had sworn
out a warrant Cor his arrest. This
man he never found. and he was
forced to content himself with the ex-
hibition of drunken depraVity he gave
on the bluff. Every little while he
fired his rife into the air and with
super abundant profanity announced
his purpose to kill the first man he met.
A number of families make their
summer home at Montgomery and the
women and children were frightened
within an inch of their lives They
kept within their houses and the men
who were on hand either followed the
same course. or at the best, made TO
efectual effort to stop the performance
Gallishaw was giving.
Sent for officers.
A succession of appeals were sent
into town and reached Sheriff Schwarz
The sheriff routed Deputies O'Connor,
Meldrim and McCafferv from their
siumhers, and sent them out
to Montgomery. They found on
their arrival that Gallishaw had dis
appeared. From all indications he
had dIsdpI cared for good, and the dep
uties, considerably disappointed and
perhaps more disgruntled by the empty
result of their long and late jaunt
from the city to Montgomery gave
it up
A reconnaissance in force will be
made this morning, which is expected
to develop Gallishaw's place of hiding
and result in his arrest. He is wanted
for alf dozen crimes and in the
event of his capture viii probably ex-
plate some OF them by long terms In
the penitentary or on the gang.

THE CATHOLIC FEDERATION.
Programme for Second Annual Com
vention at Chicago CompIetcd--Not
Political Party Says Secretary

Mntre.
Cincinnati, July 27.-National Secre-
tary Anthony Matre of the American
Federation of Catholic Societies, re-
ports the programme complete for the
second national convention in Chicago
Aug. 5, 6 and Z, and the indications
are that the convention will be the
most representative gathering of Cath
olics ever held in this country. The
convention will be opened with pontifi-
cal high mass at Holy Name Cathedral
with Rev. P. j. Muldoon as celebrant.
and Bishops Messmar, McFaul and
other prominent church dignitaries in
the sanctuary. All the priests of Chi
cage have been invited to participate
in the church services, and a general
Vitation has been sent to all the
clergy in the United States to repre-
sent their parishes at the convention.
The federation has received letters
of appreciation from several archbish-
ops and twenty bishops, and the bless
ing of Pope Leo XIII.
These letters will be read at the con-
vention.
+" Secretary Matre concludes:
In many sections it is believed the
federation is a political party This is
serious mistake. The objects of
federation as outlined by the consti-
tuition adopted at the Cincinnati con-
vention are the cementing the bonds
of fraternal union among Catholic So
cieties of the United States: the fost-
ering and protecting of Catholic inter-
ests and works of religion, piety, edu-
cation and charity; the study of con-
ditions in our social life and the dis
semination of the truth. In further
ing these objects the federation does
not interfere in the least with the gov
eminent of any society"

S. A. LIS PURCHASE.
How 1t VIII Extend Into the Ohio
Coal Fields.

How 1t viii Extend Into the Ohio
Coal Fields.
The Associated Press yesterday re-
ported the purchase by the Seaboard
Air Line of the South and Western
Railroad. a part of which it is pro-
posed to extend from the Ohio coal
fields to Lincolnton, N. c., to connect
with the Seaboard.
The Baltimore Herald says 1.-THE
idea of building the line from these
coal fields to Lincolnton was first
taken up by the Union Trust Company
last December. Large areas Of coal
land were secured before the scheme
was made public. At the same time
an option was secured on the Virginia
and Southwestern Railroad, and later
the Ohio River and Charleston Rail-
road, which touches the coal lands in
question, was secured. Parenthetical-
ly 1t may be mentioned that Samuel
Hunt, the president of this line, is also
president of the Detroit Southern.
