A SOLDIERS NARROW ESCAPE.

Watts Flats, N. Y, May 5th.-George
Manhart, of this place, a hale and
hearty old soldier of so years of age,
tells thrilling story of narrow es.
cape from death:
-Four years ago." he says, "the doc
tors who were attending me during a
serious illness called my wife aside
and told her that could not live two
weeks as had Bright's Disease, which
meant certain death.
LAS a. last resort we thought we
would try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and ac-
cordfngly sent to Mr.. Clark's drug
store and got box.
"This remedy worked wonders in
my case. noticed the improvement
at once and discharged the doctor.
81 kept on improving until every
symptom of illness had gone and I
was strong and well.
Il feel like boy and to-day I am
chopping wood as well at eighty as at
twenty. Dodd's Kidney Pills did it."

WILL THEY AcQUIT SMITH
Impression Prevails at Manila That Moth
ing discriminating Has Been Proven
Against the General.

Manila, May 5.-The trial by court
martial of Gen. Jacob H. Smith end
ed Saturday. The findings of the
court will be forwarded to Washing
ton. The general impression here is
that he will be acquitted, as it is
not believed anything has been
proved against him contrary to Gen.
eral Order No. 100.
The closing address of Col. Charles
A. Woodruff for the defense was a
remarkable oratorical effort that
drew tears from his hearers. He
dramatically sketched Gen. Smiths
career and declared he had conduct
ed remarkable and successful cam
paign in a manner which reflected
credit on his valor, humanity and
kindness.

TOOK A MORO FORT.
Americans Have a Hard Fight with
Sultan Bayan's Men.
The RebelDous Leaders Killed-Gen. Chat
fee Pays High Tribute to Col Frank
Baldwin and the Men
Under Him.

Washington, May 5.-The war de-
partment yesterday received cable
gram from Gen. Chaffee indicating
that the campaign against Sutan
Bayan, one of the principal Moro
chiefs, had been completely sue
cessful. The result was accom-
plished by a gallant assault on the
principal Moro fort and it's capture
after a number of the leading Moros
had been killed. The following is
the substance of Brig. Gen. George
w. Davis message from Bayan:
"Eighty-four survivors of Bayan
surrendered Internationally this
morning at seven. Sultan Bayan,
Raja Muda Bayan, Sultan Pandapa-
tan and all leading dattos dead and
many of their followers. Assault on
the principal fort which surrendered
last night one of the most gallant
performances of American arms.
Col. Frank ID. Baldwin and his regi-
ment deserve all praise for hand-to-
hand struggle in four lines of
bitches under walls of fort. These
trenches are lined with dead from
rifle fire. Have never heard of any
performance excelling this gallant
fight. 1t was my painful duty to re-
port that the overthrow of Moro
power not accomplished without Sc
Cere loss. One officer and seven en-
listed men killed; four officers and 80
enlisted men wounded. viii tele-
graph the list later. After 81 survi-
eors marched out this morning as
prisoners, and was understood they
were all, eight others whos had
concealed themselves in rubbish in
side the fort made break for lib
erty, but none succeeded. Some of
the Moro wounded tried to stab sol
diers trying to help them. 1t is
impossible to state number of Moros
killed, many lying in tall grass. The
surrender saves us from a siege and
starving them out. Impossible to
have carried works without scaling
ladders, which were ready"

The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-11-08
To the Tennessee Valley.

The Louisville and Nashville rail- road, the chief beneficiary of this dis trict, says 'it is impossible" to put on a new passenger train between Deca- tur and Birmingham. Nothing of the kind is of course impossible. MT. Starks probably means that a new train would be impractieable.
 Why not, then, start the Scouts Mountain accommodation an hour earlier, and extend it's run to the De. caturs? It carries a passenger car to point near Cullman, and the engine and car could cover the remaining gap at small expense, returning in time to pull the freight cars gathered south of Cullman back to Birmingham in the evening. This much at least should be granted by the Louisville and Nash vile company.
 The solution of the problem seems to consist in the building of a railroad in the gap between Oneonta and Fay lorsville on the Tennessee river, a dis tanee of about twenty-five miles. This would give us an air line to Hunts vile, and it is exactly what Birming- ham needs and Huntsville needs even more. The Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis company owns the line from Huntsville to Taylorsyille on the Ten nessee river, and that company is con trolled by the Louisville and Nash vile.
