 When Brown came in Ann turned his attention upon him. Brown says he saw that there was going to be trouble, and that he started out. Ann followed him with stick, he says and he returned, hoping thereby to avoid disturbance.

 Brown says that seeing that row was not to Be avoided, he jerked a pistol out of MT.

An ordinance providing for an appropri- hfion of 100000 gallons of water each quarter for the Montgomery Young Men 8 Christian Association, to be used in it's swimming pool, now nearing completion, was defeated by the City Council last night. The ordinance received majority of the votes cast but under the rules of the Council it did not receive a majority vote of the members of the Council, and was consequently lost.
 The Secretary of the Young Mems Christian Association and other friends of the institution were interested specta- tors at the Council session. and witnessed the death of the ordinance.
 Alderman Roeder gave notice that at the next session of the Council he would move to reconsider the vote by which the ordinance was defeated.
 When the ordinance was placed on its passage Alderman Rushton, it's author, explained that George Foster Peabody had donated considerable money toward building a large swimming pool for the Young Mems Christian Association. and he said the Council was merely asked to give the water to this worthy cause.
 At this juncture Alderman Roeder sent up an amendment providing that when ever the income of the Young Men s Christian Association exceeded it's rum ming expenses the Association be required to pay for the water at rates fixed by the amendment.
 Alderman May called attention to the absence Of Alderman Anderson. chairman of the Waterworks Committee of the Council, and moved that action on the ordinance be postponed until the next meeting of the Council
 His motion received no second and AL derman Rushton attacked the Roeder amendment. He said if the Council in- tended to give the water to the Associa- ton it should be given fin a generous sort of way and not in half hammered way"
 Let's give it to them now, and not wait until the summer is over," contin- ued Alderman Rushton. drawing his ker- chief from his hip pocket and mopping the precipitation from his forehead. This is a semi-pubIic institution, and if ever the people needed a bath they need 1t now"
 Alderman Mcintyre made an earnest argument against the ordinance. He said that the Council was the custodian of the waterworks and the Aldermen

, should proceed just as If they were at tending to their private affairs. The charge was being made, he said, by con sumers of water that the city was over charging them in order to conduct the weterworks system properly. It is doubt full, he declared if such request would be made by the Young Mems Christian Association if the waterworks was con- ducted by a private corporation. lie said he thought every one who got water should be required to pay for it. These statements brought Alderman Rrshton to his feet again. According to the argument of the gen tleman," he said with ironry in his voice i've ought not to let the water play from the fountain at Court Square; we ough not to let the little birds drink it; we ought not to put it at the park and lei httle children drink 1t there without paying for it a penny drink" He declared that tbe sentiment of the people favored the pending measure, and it ought to be adopted. The people want ed to see thjs swimming pool esta ablished he said, where little boys could goNand bathe and. learn now to swim. 1t was good for the sanitary improvement of the people and it would not affect the water rates or the water bills ---. Alderman Roeder sad he agreed with the spirit of the ordinance, but he did not think the appropriation should be made perpetual. His amendment sought to restrict it to such a time as the As sociation might be able to pay for it. Some one might give the Association l $10O 00O," Alderman Roeder was saying Tt would not be able to pay water

Jackson and Kansas City Railroad Com pany said his company maintained a sep arate passenger depot and would gladly join with the other railroads in maintain ing a union railway station.
 The representatives of the other rail- road companies indicated that the ob- stacle which had met the railroads in their investigations toward building a union railway station in Mobile was that there was not an available location.
 Finally: after much discussion, 1t was agreed by the Mobile delegation that the railroads be allowed ninety days in which to take some action upon the matter of maintaining a better depot in Mobile. MT Crsghead of the delegation prepared the following resolution which was agreed upon by the Mobile delegation:

 Ann fell to the ground, and lay there until some of the men in the store, whG heard the shooting and afterwards the groans of tho wounded negro, came cut to his assistance. He was immediately carried to his home, and physicians was summoned, who upon examining tie wound in the right lung, said that the negro could not live.
 Hays Brown, as soon as his assahant was carried off. started for the police sta- tion to give himself up. Sergeant Thomas took him into custoday, where he will remain until he gets a preliminary hear ing.
 Brown does not seem to be the least worried over the affair. He says that he was in the right and that he can prove , it to the court.

TO EvADE oLEo LAW.
Manufacturers Will Furnish Color
 ing Matter to Customers.

ing Matter to customers.
 Washington. July 7.-(Special.)-The manufacturers of oleomargarine have served formal notice upon the officials of the Treasury Department that they pro- pose to evade the law recently passed. The law provides that uncolored oleo- margarine shall be taxed one-fourth of one cent a wound. while the colored prod uct shall be taxed 10 cents pound.
 The manufacturers have notified the Commissioner of Internal Revenue that they are going to sell their oleo uncolor- ed, but will furnish to each customer a quartity of coloring matter with instruc- tions for it's use. The effect of this will be to enable hotel keepers and others to use a richly colored oleo which can be bought much cheaper than the prod uct which is colored by the factory.
 Officers of the department will make a test case. in an effort to show that the manufacturers are evading the law. They do not believe, however, that they have the power to prevent the operation of the scheme, in which case the oleo law will be practically dead letter.

We are now on the threshold OF
campaign in which victory is assured,
and nothing except lack Of harmony
can defeat US. Conditions are such
that we should carry the state by at
least 5000 majority. During the past
two years, or since the last general
state election, thare has been large
influx OF settlers into the county, and
it is satisfactory to be told that the
great preponderance Of these are Re-
publicans. The extraordinary growth
in popular favor of the present admin
istration in our national affairs, the
success in the Republican manage
ment OF our state government, and
the growth OF Republican sentiment
and numbers within the boundaries
OF our local constituency, will redeem
Adams county this fall; but no effort
should be left untried to make that
victory as pronounced rs possible.
To say that the county is Republican
will be to the interest Of the people,
with a tendency to better financial
standing both at home and abroad.
